Tracts and Leaflets

As the writer of the notes for the Publishers' Page of this week's Review looks from the windows of our new building, the leaves are seen dropping in quick succession from the various kinds of trees. He is reminded of that expression which is familiar to all Seventh-day Adventists, that our publications should fall “like the leaves of autumn.” Although each leaf in itself is small, taken collectively they represent a great accumulation and cover the ground. The scene suggests the importance of scattering our publications broadcast, even though it be but a small tract of a few pages.

We have thought well to use the Publishers' Page this week in giving a list of small tracts and leaflets which may be scattered in large quantities at small expense.

Is the End Near?

The nature of this tract (W. T. S., No. 22) is a Biblical reply to the above question. It seems unnecessary to enter into further explanation, since it has had a circulation of hundreds of thousands, and many can testify to the good it has done. A new edition has just been printed. One order from a single individual calls for 25,000. Price, ½ cent each; 40 cents a 100, post-paid.

Can We Know?

This tract (W. T. S., No. 32) at once appeals to a certain class of persons who are ever ready to answer in the negative. As the leaves now falling indicate that winter is near, so the scriptures quoted must prove to any candid thinker that we may know when He is near, “even at the door.” Price, ½ cent each; 40 cents a 100, post-paid.

A Challenge to Protestants

The contents of this tract (W. T. S., No. 4) are selected from an article written by Father O'Keefe in the Catholic Mirror. Professed Protestants, who claim to take the Bible as their only rule of faith, are sharply taken to task for their practises, for which they must give credit to the Catholic Church, or repudiate them. This is a challenge which should make every true Protestant think. Price, ½ cent each; 40 cents a 100, post-paid.

The Civil Sabbath

History so clearly unfolds the evil which comes from religious legislation, that “Sabbath legislation” often seeks a disguise under the garb of a civil benefit. This has come to be a common tactic in appealing to the working classes for Sunday rest. It bears careful consideration. R. L. Leaflets, No. 4. Price, ¾ cent each; 60 cents a 100, post-paid.

Come, Lord Jesus

This tract (W. T. S., No. 14) is a ray of sunshine to the weary pilgrim on the dark roads of a desolate and sinful earth. It is based on the last verse of the Bible, wherein is the promise that He will come quickly; and the blessings of heaven, which are promised to those who choose to love and obey him, will be an incentive to others to join in the responding choir, “Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.” Price, ¼ cent each; 20 cents a 100, post-paid.

Important Questions on Great Events

This tract (W. T. S., No. 27) asks the reader, though he may not be a Bible student, to consider, if for nothing more than curiosity's sake, the questions asked and the answers given, which are taken from the Bible, believing that it will prove to any one that the Bible is an up-to-date book, dealing with current events, about which prophecy was written hundreds of years in the past. This is a tract of a few pages with volumes for study. Price, ½ cent each; 40 cents a 100, post-paid.

Principles Too Little Understood

In a demand for religious legislation, many persons are honest, but have not studied the principles underlying their demands, to know what the results will be when such legislation is broadened on the same principle. If such persons understood the principles involved in religious legislation, they would doubtless change their attitude toward it. Give them this tract, R. L. Leaflets, No. 1. Price, ½ cent each; 40 cents a 100, post-paid.

Candid Admissions

“Admissions in favor of truth from the ranks of its enemies constitute the highest kind of evidence,” and this little tract (W. T. S., No. 6) is filled with such admissions from great men and leaders in the different denominations. Persons who base their belief in Sunday sacredness on what “the minister says,” will find in this tract some startling statements. Price, ½ cent each, 40 cents a hundred, post-paid.

Sunday Laws—Their Origin, Nature, and Object

This tract (R. L. Leaflets, No. 2) is a direct consideration of Sunday laws, and enters into the origin of such laws, dealing with their outcome in the past, and showing the result of parallel legislation to-day. After considering the subject, it adds a few terse statements from prominent men, to the effect that no proof exists in the Bible for Sunday sacredness, and closes with an example of Sunday enforcement as proposed by one class of “reformers.” Price, ½ cent each; 40 cents a 100, post-paid.

The Logic of Sabbath Legislation

Coming to the real gist of the matter, serving the state in its jurisdiction is civil duty; serving God according to the dictates of conscience, without infringing upon the rights of others, is a religious duty. What shall be the attitude of the state toward the religious duties of man? A logical consideration of this subject will be found in R. L. Leaflets, No. 4. Price, ½ cent each; 40 cents a 100, post-paid.

An Appeal to the Clergy

This little tract which, during a few months of 1905, reached a circulation of about half a million copies, was prepared by the Seventh-day Adventist ministers of Washington, D. C., and addressed to the Protestant clergy. Having been written by ministers, and addressed to ministers, it is only reasonable to believe that this tract should be an able and authentic treatise of the subject in hand. It deals with the Sabbath question, as to which day really is the Sabbath, and why religious legislation in favor of any day is iniquitous. W. T. S., No. 43. Price, ½ cent each; 40 cents a 100, post-paid.

Is Sunday the Sabbath?

The title of this tract (A. G. L., No. 76), of course, reveals its nature. It is a direct reply to the question involved, and as it has been in the hands of our people for a long while, and many have been circulated, it needs but little introduction. The Biblical consideration of the subject is clear and convincing. Price, ½ cent each; 40 cents a 100, post-paid.

Which Day Do You Keep, and Why?

This little tract (A. G. L., No. 75) asks of the reader an important question, and at once proceeds to answer the question as to which day should be observed as holy according to God's Word. It is a good tract to have on hand, ready both to ask and to answer the question in meeting friends and neighbors. Price, ½ cent each; 40 cents a 100, post-paid.

Thoughts for the Candid

To suggest to a bereaved friend that the deceased one sleeps, takes away the soothing, erroneous sensation experienced from the belief that such a one has gone immediately to glory and is with the angels. What says the Bible? You will be pleased to see how kindly the subject is treated by Elder J. N. Andrews in this tract (B. S. L., No. 47). Your friends, now and in time of bereavement, should know of that glorious day when the dead in Christ and the righteous living shall ascend together to meet the Lord in the air. Price, 40 cents a 100, post-paid.
