Foreign “Marvel of Nations”

“THE MARVEL OF NATIONS,” in the German and Danish editions, is now nearly completed, and will be ready for shipment by May 1. The Swedish is finished now, and the others will be in a few days.

This ought to be a good book to sell among the people speaking these languages in the United States. These people have identified themselves with this country, and are interested in its prosperity, and in any circumstances that may affect it in the future. The fact that this book is printed in the languages of these people, will impress them favorably, and the message it contains should reach them at once. This book has accomplished great good in the English language, and we hope that it will be the means of bringing thousands of our foreign neighbors to the knowledge of the truth for this time.

While the first part of the book deals largely with the growth and prosperity of this country, the intent of the entire book is to teach the people the facts of the prophecy concerning the future of this nation and the ushering in of the kingdom of God. The style and the general subject matter of the book are such as to attract the attention of the people, and render it easy to sell. All our brethren and sisters of these nationalities in the States should take an active part in the sale of this book, and our American membership should join them in placing it in the homes of the foreign families who reside apart from our foreign members. These new books should be pushed now with all the vigor of all the people in all the churches. They are easy books to sell.

The prospectus sells for 60 cts., post-paid. The foreign books sell for the same prices as the English—$1.25 and $1.50.

A Rare Opportunity

BEGINNING with the third quarter of the present year, July 6, the International Sunday-School Lessons will, for the remainder of the year, be upon the exodus and the history of the children of Israel. Inasmuch as “Patriarchs and Prophets” is one of the best commentaries extant upon the exodus and the experiences of the Israelites, and can be easily shown to contain facts of great value to every Sunday-school superintendent, teacher, and pupil, from this time until July 6 is the golden opportunity to place this book in the homes of the Bible-reading people of this age. Our people must not let this unusually favorable time pass unimproved. While “Patriarchs and Prophets” teaches the message for this time in Old Testament Scriptures, there is not a book in our catalogue that contains more important instruction, and imparts it in a more acceptable manner, to all classes of people. It does not prejudice its reader. If we desire to lead people safely to the truth, there is no better book to put into their homes than “Patriarchs and Prophets.”

This present time is a providential opportunity. If our lay members will study “Patriarchs and Prophets” in connection with the International Sunday-School Lessons, they can easily interest their neighbors who are studying the lessons, and thousands of homes may thus be blessed with the teachings of this truth-filled volume. Many ought to consecrate themselves to the sale of this book until after July. All the State tract societies and all the publishing houses fill orders for this book.

The prices are as follows:— Drab English cloth, emblematic design in jet and gold, marbled edges ................ $2.25 Light-green English cloth, emblematic design in jet and gold, gold edges ............ $2.75 Library style, full sheep, combed marbled edges ..................................... $3.00 Full Turkey morocco, gold side and back, gold edges, extra finish ................... $4.50

Those who sell the book as agents get the usual discount. Write the State Tract Society for agents' prices and terms. Order all books from your State Tract Society.

Historical Notes

On the Tenth Chapter of Genesis, or “The Peopling of the Earth”

THESE notes are the result of the lessons given by A. T. Jones to the students of the Bible and history in Healdsburg College, Cal., in the winter of 1886-87. They form an excellent pamphlet of 96 pages.

The tenth chapter of Genesis is, to many, a mystery and a dead letter. This pamphlet will act as a beacon light, and cause the Bible reader to see in this chapter of Genesis something more than a barren list of almost meaningless names.

We certainly ought to understand the lessons contained in these so-called dry parts of the Word of God.

The pamphlet also contains chapters on The God of the Nations, The Beginnings of Kingdoms, and The Egyptian Empire. Price, only 15 cts.

Agent's Weekly Reports

THIS book is ruled expressly for entering the totals of the canvassers' weekly reports, as they are received from week to week. At the close of each month a total is taken of all the weekly reports received during the month, and forwarded to the union conference general agent. The book is so arranged that the keeping of this important record requires but little time; and when it is kept, it constitutes a perfect history and record of the work of every canvasser who was ever in the employ of any special conference. Each book has full directions printed on the first pages, and also an illustration of entries. It is bound like the Territorial Record, and is put up in books of 200 and 400 pages, and is designated as “small” and “large.” The small book costs $1.85, and the large book costs $2.75. With each book we send samples of the “Canvasser's Daily Record,” and the report blanks specially prepared for use in connection with the present system of reporting.

Territorial Record

THIS book is for keeping a record of the territory canvassed in any conference or district. When the record is faithfully kept, the State agent can see by simply glancing over one page just what portions of each county have been canvassed, by whom, and for what books. This will prove to be of great service to the State agents and tract society secretaries in locating agents in the field, and in keeping an intelligent record of work done in any specified territory.

The book is indexed and paged, so that any county in the state or conference can be turned to in an instant, and all the work ever done and recorded in that county, there stands revealed at a glance on the one double page.

It is substantially bound in black cloth, with leather back. The size of the book is 12¾ x 17 inches; and in order to adapt it to different-sized conferences, it is put up in books of 100, 200, and 300 pages, and is designated as “small,” “medium,” and “large.”

The 100-page book is $2.25; the 200-page book, $3; and the 300-page book, $3.75.

New Blank Books

Financial Church Record

RECOMMENDED for general use in all the churches by the General Conference Committee. This book is for the recording of the various offerings made in the several departments of the church. It is the financial record of the church. It does not take the place of the old church record—the membership record. Its form is so simple that any person in the church who can write and add figures, can keep it correctly. In each book there is given a sample page all filled out as an illustration of how the book is to be kept, and also full printed directions explaining the details in keeping the records. Everything about the book is made very plain.

Special receipt books and report blanks are prepared for these new Financial Church Records, and a limited supply will be sent with each book.

Substantially bound in black cloth, with leather back. Contains 100 pages. Price, $1.
