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.

THE Review and Herald Publishing Association is running overtime in order to make denominational books to supply the present demand.

ONE fourteen-year-old girl has ordered two thousand two hundred copies of the July number of Life and Health. Her profits at the regular discount given to agents are fifty-five dollars. Are there not many boys and girls who can do as well? Fifty-five dollars a month is a pretty good salary for boys and girls.

THE second number of Liberty is just issued, and it is filled with clear, convincing, and conclusive deductions upon the following current topics: Survey of the Field—The progress of the world-wide controversy between liberty and despotism; War and Peace—The influences which make for war against the present efforts for peace; A Rejoinder—Answering the Christian Statesman as to the distinction between the principles of National Reformers and those established by the founders of the American republic; The Railway Rate Bill and the Sabbath—An attempt to enforce the Sabbath through an interstate commerce law; Sunday Laws and Good Government—The history of Sunday laws and their effect upon the governments enacting them; A Modern Christian City—Subjecting two thousand people to costs and fines for conducting an innocent, respectable trade on Sunday, while dens of vice, infamy, and municipal corruption are eclipsed by a zeal for enforced Sabbath observance; Does the Sabbath Need Protection?—If it is God's Sabbath, he will protect it; if it is a false sabbath, it ought not to be protected; Man in the Place of God—The papal principle; The Present Church Federation—What does it mean? Churches a Legislative Factor—Examples given to illustrate its power; Sunday Legislation in Louisiana—Illustrating the general trend of the State legislature toward ecclesiasticism; Recent Sunday Crusade Developments in Pennsylvania—Revealing the methods and spirit of the promoters; The Lesson of the California Earthquake—Answering the claim that it was a judgment of God visited on California because its statute-books contained no “Sabbath law;” What Will Save the Nation?—“The old apostolic fire;” Do Workingmen Need Sunday Laws?—The motive back of this demand for the supposed benefit of the laborer; Equity—Answering the claim that “the right of rest for one demands a law of rest for all;” News and Editorial Notes—The various phases of the Sunday-law movement. Prices: Single copy a year, including extras, 25 cents. Single copy of regular issues, 5 cents. Single copy of an extra, according to size. Five or more copies a year to different addresses, one order, 15 cents a copy. Ten or more copies a year to one address, one order, 15 cents a copy. Twenty-five or more copies of any one issue, one order, one address, 2½ cents a copy. Good discounts given on 1,000 or more copies. Address Liberty, Takoma Park Station, Washington, D. C.

A CHEERING report of success and prosperity in the book work comes from the State agent of Missouri, Charles G. Bellah, who says, “Our force is rapidly increasing, and we are pressing forward in the work. Success is attending almost every effort put forth. Our sales have about doubled each month since January, and we believe the June report will double that of May. We are trying to set our faces Zionward like a flint, never to retreat again.”

WE are pleased to note the work of nineteen agents in Missouri during the month of May. These agents worked 1,663 hours, taking 875 orders, representing a value of $2,493.80. This shows a general average for the entire month of $1.50 an hour for each canvasser, and doubtless the spiritual blessings represent even a greater value. All the nineteen workers were on large books. One thirteen-year-old boy used “Bible Readings,” with average sales of $1.42 an hour. This month's work demonstrates that the large books can be sold.

THE August number of Life and Health will be of much value to all classes, and a special blessing to mothers and babies. The nature and scope of this number will be seen by the following list of subjects discussed in it: Typhoid Fever—its nature and cause; Children and Their Care; Diseases Common in Summer; Divine Healing—a part of the gospel; Purity—what saith the Scriptures? Outdoor Life Healthful; Stirring Up the Animals—the President's investigation of slaughter-houses; A Source of Opposition to the Pure Food Bill; Infamous Crime; The Commissioner and Diseased Meat; The Spread of Tuberculosis by Flies; Stock-yard Abuses; The Problems of the Beef Trust; Uncooked Foods; The Clothes-brush; Hard and Fast Rules; Dust Removal, not Dispersal; San Francisco Saloons; Poisoned Meats; How to Use “Left-overs” to a Good Account in the Preparation of New Meals; Neapolitan Soup, Nuttose, Creamed Macaroni, Riced Potatoes, Spinach Souffle with Lentil Dressing, Mixed Salads, etc.; Foolish Parents; Teach the Boy a Trade; Must the Strawberry Go? “I Can Make a Man of You;” The Health of San Francisco; Progress of the Medical Missionary Work in Foreign Countries; News Notes; Questions and Answers, etc. Subscription price of the magazine for one year, 50 cents; single copy, 5 cents; twenty-five or more copies to one address, 2½ cents a copy, or $2.50 a hundred. A liberal commission is allowed agents on yearly subscriptions. Correspondence solicited. Orders for this journal should be sent to the State Tract Society.
