See last paragraph on this page for instructions where to order.

SEED sowers should not forget the promise of the Lord not to suffer the truth to return unto him void, but that it should be as bread cast upon the waters to be gathered many days hence. The constant sowing of the seeds of truth through the printed page is accomplishing a wonderful work. How to do this kind of work more effectually should be the constant study of every believer. No message-believing person should suffer a day to pass without planting some seeds of truth.

IN the “Empire Series” will be found a study of the history of nations from the time of the flood down to our time, into which has been interwoven Bible history. Maps in colors aid greatly in the study. No other books like these are to be found. The series is composed of three large volumes. “Empires of the Bible,” treating of the time from the flood to the Babylonian captivity, $1.50. “Empires of Prophecy,” from Babylonian times to the fall of Rome, $2. “Ecclesiastical Empire,” from the fall of Rome to our own times, $2.50.

A NEW book by James Edson White, entitled “New Testament Primer,” is now in press, and will be ready for mailing in a short time. It is handsomely illustrated with new half-tone and line engravings, with type work in blue ink. All cuts are printed in two colors. It will make a beautiful and attractive book for children. It will contain four departments, the first a Scripture Alphabet, with each letter printed in two colors, and a text of Scripture by the side of each letter, the first word beginning with that letter, and ornamented with vines and flowers that grow in Palestine. The second department is made up of trees, flowers, animals, birds, and insects, with eleven pages of pictures in colors, and descriptions in blue. At the bottom of each page in this department is a slate exercise in writing lessons, drawing, and stick-laying, which will afford endless and useful amusement and home study for the children. The life of Christ is the subject of the third department. It is made plain, simple, and interesting. In this department are lessons on baptism, the Sabbath, the resurrection, and the second coming of Christ, which are interwoven naturally into the story. Following the life of Christ, the fourth department takes up the life of the apostles; beginning with their return from the Mount of Olives, their early mission is described; the experiences of Peter, in prison and out; the conversion of Saul, his ministry, his shipwreck, etc., while on his way as a prisoner to Rome. The book closes with John on Patmos, with beautiful full-page illustrations of “John Viewing the Holy City,” and “A Little Child Shall Lead Them.” These pictures are also printed in colors, and are especially good. Price in board covers, cloth back, 25 cents; in full cloth, 50 cents.

A COMPANY of three ladies began several weeks ago to sell 10,000 copies each of Life and Health and Liberty, and the following quotation from a letter dated September 23, will show how they are prospering: “The last week we sold 2,800 papers, nearly 1,000 copies for each of us. We shall probably send for 2,000 copies more about the twenty-sixth. We desire you to get up 20,000 special copies of Liberty for us. Let us know by return mail if you can furnish these magazines.” Let others try selling Life and Health and Liberty. Write for particulars and prices.
