SCANDINAVIANS, ATTENTION!

As previously announced, the Review and Herald Pub. Co. is now issuing one Swedish and one Danish quarterly, the object being to get out and scatter broadcast tracts on timely topics connected with the Third Angel's Message. So far, we have issued No. 1 in Swedish, treating on “The Seal of God and the Mark of the Beast,” and Nos. 1 and 2 in Danish, the first being a translation of Elder Smith’s “The Reign of Righteousness,” and the second a condensed translation of Elder Loughborough’s “Last-Day Tokens.”
We are glad to say that these publications are doing a good work. A sister in one of the Eastern States left a copy of the Swedish quarterly with an invalid lady whom she visited; and on her return, a week later, she found the lady rejoicing in the truth on the Sabbath question. Her verdict of this publication was that she could not see how any one could read it and not be convinced of the truth we hold on this important question. A gentleman in one of the Western States read this same number, and became so interested that he wrote for specimen copies of our Swedish paper, noticed on the last page of this number.
No. 2 of the Swedish quarterly is now ready. This is a translation of Elder A. T. Jones’s timely and excellent pamphlet “Marshaling of the Nations.” The Swedish is brought up to present developments in the far East, and contains the same maps as the English. The price is the same as the English.
We hope our State agencies and tract societies will take an interest in these Scandinavian publications, and not only be prepared to fill orders, but do all they can to give them a wide circulation.

HYMN-BOOK.

At the Scandinavian Conference held in Sioux City, Iowa, last fall, it was deemed necessary to take steps to issue a small hymn-book, one in Swedish and one in Danish, that would be especially suited for tent-meeting services. This undertaking is now accomplished in two small books, each containing 192 pages, with over 200 songs. The Swedish is called “Fridshar-pan” (Harp of Peace), and the Danish “Evangeliske Sange” (Gospel Songs).
These books contain no music, but with every song is given a number referring to music in our large hymn-books or in other hymn-books, from which the songs have been selected or
