Small Tracts for Tent-Meetings.

By Dudley Marvin Canright

It is necessary to give away more or less reading matter during every course of lectures, whether in a tent or a hall; but it is too expensive to give away our pamphlets or even the larger tracts. At the height of interest in a course of lectures, we find it a good thing to distribute a tract to every person in the audience about twice a week, when we have the largest attendance. But it would cost a great deal to give away 300 or 500 four-cent tracts or even two-cent ones. To obviate this difficulty, and to furnish a good assortment of small tracts covering the main points of our faith, we have prepared eleven eight-page “Tent Tracts.” They are numbered in the order in which they would naturally come in a course of meetings. They cost at wholesale only a half cent apiece. They can be used by the tract societies or by individuals just as well, if they like. Indeed, all the tract societies are coming more and more to use only the smallest tracts.

The names of the tracts are as follows:— Tent Tract No. 1, Can We Know? “ “ “ 2, Is it Near? “ “ “ 3, Is Man Immortal? “ “ “ 4, The Sleep of the Dead. “ “ “ 5, The Sinner’s Fate. “ “ “ 6, The Law of God “ “ “ 7, What the Gospel Abrogated. “ “ “ 8, One Hundred Bible Facts Upon the Sabbath Question. “ “ “ 9, Sunday not the Sabbath. “ “ “ 10, The Christian Sabbath. “ “ “ 11, Why not Found out Before?

Any or all of these can be had in any quantity at the REVIEW Office.
