THE RELIEF OF THE SCHOOLS
By P. T. Magan
is a live issue in the State of Montana. At two little local camp-meetings recently held there, twelve hundred copies of “Parables of Jesus, or Christ’s Object Lessons” were subscribed for by the brethren and sisters. I am told that many poor persons took as many as twenty-five copies of the book. If the brethren and sisters who attend our big camp-meetings in our large Conferences will only come up to the help of the Lord, and do as well as these poor, struggling handfuls in new fields, it will be safe to say that the one hundred thousand line in the sale of this book will be reached before the year is ended. We must get back to the old-time spirit of everybody scattering the printed page everywhere. God will help us to do it. That timely pamphlet, “The Marshaling of the Nations,” has a good start, and is going finely. Orders by the fifties, the hundreds, and even the thousands, are being received almost daily. One man alone took a thousand. It tells the secret and the end of the international entanglement in China, and will always do so, no matter how deep that tangle may become; because it is simply the truth of the word of God in that connection, drawn out and made plain. We have stated what a prominent notice was given it by the San Francisco Sunday Examiner of July 29: we can also say that the Chicago Tribune of August 5 devoted about ten inches of double-column reading space to the same subject. This is another valuable tribute to the conviction produced by the pamphlet. People who read it do see that it is the truth. Try it, and see for yourself; and give others an opportunity. They will readily pay its price—ten cents—for it, at sight of the double-page colored map of the “partitioning of the world.” Order of the Pacific Press or of the Review and Herald.
