The Book Department Mirror

Being a Reflection of Interesting Happenings, and Notes on Our Publications. Conducted by the Book Department of the Review and Herald Publishing Association

THERE is in preparation a paper-covered edition of that important book, “The Great Advent Movement.” Missionary Volunteer Society leaders should take this matter up with their members at once, and see that all are provided with a copy as soon as it is ready, which will be in about two weeks. “The Great Advent Movement” is the text-book for the study of denominational history, and every Missionary Volunteer who passes the Standard of Attainment will need one of these books. Prices: Paper, 50 cents; cloth, $1.25.

We have just received a shipment of the new edition of “Patriarchs and Prophets.” This volume is a careful study of the great controversy between Christ and Satan, as illustrated in the lives of holy men of old. The present book furnishes an excellent companion volume to “The Great Controversy.” The prices are the same as for the other large books; namely, cloth, $2.75; library, $3.75; morocco, $4.75.

Speaking of “Great Controversy” brings to mind the fact that one of our canvassers found a man who bought “Great Controversy” from an agent several years ago, and who has made it a practise to read the book through once a year since then. Do we appreciate our literature as we ought?

A new number will soon be added to the Religious Liberty Library. This leaflet is entitled, “The Famous Congressional Sunday Mail Reports,” and will be designated as Religious Liberty Leaflet, No. 15. The information contained in the twelve pages of this leaflet should be in the hands of every American citizen. The prices will be, post-paid: Per dozen, 9 cents; per hundred, 75 cents.

Owing to the large number of orders which we have received for “The Speaker’s Manual,” it has been necessary to place an order for another edition to be printed at once. There is a vast amount of information crowded into this little volume. The correct pronunciation of over 2,000 words, commonly mispronounced, is given, together with exercises in enunciation for either class or private practise. We have bound a few copies in red flexible leather. Prices: Red flexible leather, 50 cents; cloth, 25 cents.

All should avail themselves of the opportunity offered in the new “Year Book.” The record of a year’s progress in the message is inspiring. Added to the full statistics of all the different lines of work is a directory of the conference officers and workers, a map of each conference and mission field, and a complete list of all the institutions under the supervision of the denomination. Price, paper, 25 cents.

The next book in the Missionary Volunteer Reading Course will be “Daybreak in the Dark Continent,” by Wilson S. Naylor, a graphic story of the work done by missions for the people of Africa. The book is certainly worthy of the careful study it will receive. Prices: Paper, 40 cents; cloth, 50 cents.
