Our Publishing Work

By Editor

The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that published it. Psalm 68:11.

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

ORDERS for Liberty are coming in very rapidly. The great majority of these orders are for liberal quantities. One order received from the Colorado Tract Society was for 1,000 copies of the second number.

THAT wonderful little book entitled “Making Home Happy” carries with it lessons that will be of great value to all children and youth. Its lessons are taught through a very bright, wholesome story with a moral—a great subject treated sensibly and simply, and revealing how an unhappy home was made happy through loving unselfishness, which is, in the story, shown to be the secret of happy homes and happy lives. Neatly and attractively bound, and illustrated in paper covers, 25 cents; cloth covers, 50 cents.

THE September number of Life and Health is now ready to be mailed. The front cover cut on this number of the journal represents a boy eating a large slice of watermelon, with the timely warning, “The melon-cholera days are come, the saddest of the year.” The contents of the entire number will be very profitable to all. The following represents some of the topics considered in this number: CHILDREN AND THEIR CARE; Dwelling especially upon the common disorders of children, and giving treatment for these diseases. These articles will be invaluable to mothers. VEGETARIANISM—ITS RELATION TO HEALTH; In the treatment of this subject, the writer gives an account of what he has seen of how cattle are raised for beef. In connection with the recent exposures of the slaughter-house methods, this article will prove to be both interesting and profitable. DIVINE HEALING; Continuing the discussion of the principles on which God heals the diseases of his children. THE MEAT QUESTION; Quotations from other publications on this and other important topics. CULINARY SUGGESTIONS; Telling a number of ways in which shortcake may be made attractive, healthful, and economical. A number of very valuable suggestions are given, including methods of utilizing “left-overs.” THE BRINGING UP OF CHILDREN; Valuable information for all parents. DISPLACEMENT CAUSED BY CONSTRICTION OF THE WAIST; Written by an experienced teacher of hygienic dressmaking, and contains some of the reasons why the prevailing style of dress is harmful. The September number contains very instructive editorials devoted largely to pure food legislation and the new pure food laws. Very encouraging reports are given from mission fields, and “Questions and Answers” will be especially helpful. NEWS NOTES; Made up of information in connection with the health topics of the various countries. No doubt the September number of Life and Health will be appreciated more than any we have heretofore issued. The July and August numbers were very successful. Some agents sold as high as 2,000 copies of these numbers. The usual prices for Life and Health prevail,—regular subscription price, 50 cents a year; twenty-five or more copies, one order, to one address, 2½ cents a copy.

THE Youth’s Instructor is always filled with interesting and profitable reading. It costs only 75 cents a year—only one and one-half cents a week.

ALTHOUGH 1,000 extra copies were printed of the August number of Life and Health, by the fifteenth of the month the edition was entirely exhausted. Agents everywhere report excellent success with this number. The September number is even better than the August number.

MOST interesting and inspiring is the little volume, “The Master’s Greatest Monosyllables.” It is filled with the spirit of the Great Missionary. No one can read it without receiving much good. Secure a copy and read it, then pass it on to friends that they may be helped. Price, 50 cents.

THE second number of Liberty will help the public to recognize the fallacy of the claim that Sunday laws are essential to good government. It sets forth the evils of all religious legislation, and emphasizes the true principles of religious liberty, upon which the government of the United States was founded. It ought to be in every American home. Who will help the publishers put it there?

WHY not give our children a better acquaintance with our bird neighbors? The customs of birds and the habits of various animals are not only interesting, but very profitable to our young people. They will receive profit and pleasure in reading “Garden Neighbors,” a book of 256 pages, by Dr. L. A. Reed. This work gives some very interesting true stories of some familiar birds and animals. Price, $1.

ONE aged worker in New York, with his two sons, celebrated his seventy-sixth birthday, July 25, soliciting for “Heralds of the Morning” and “Coming King.” He took orders amounting to $10 on his birthday, and during the week the amount of his total orders was $50.50. One of his sons secured $110.25 worth of orders for the same week. The son’s best day in the week was twenty-four orders for gilt “Coming King,” taken in ten hours’ time. All may not be able to succeed like these experienced workers, but it is remarkable to hear how those just beginning are being prospered in the work. These experiences should be taken by every believer as an evidence that God is in this work, and that he is sending his angels to co-operate with every trusting, humble one who will go forth to the people with a burden to reach perishing souls with this warning message before probation’s hour shall close.

Orders for any publication mentioned on this page may be sent to any conference tract society or to Review and Herald Publishing Association, Takoma Park Station, Washington, D. C., or Battle Creek, Mich.
