HELP FOR THE WOMAN’S GOSPEL WORK.
By Editor
IN an article handed in by Sister Irwin for the Woman’s page, but too late for this week’s REVIEW, she calls attention to the fact that the “Woman’s Gospel Work is curtailed because it has no resources upon which to depend,” and expresses the wish that money might be supplied in some way to help this work. Without any knowledge of these words of Sister Irwin’s, there has come a quick response from a good friend. “Before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.” Isa. 65:24. Sister S. M. I. Henry’s daughter,—Mrs. Rossiter,—all of her own planning, has made to the Woman’s Gospel Work the following generous offer with “My Mother’s Life”—her life of Sister Henry:— To every woman who, before Dec. 1, 1900, will sell, at the regular price, $1.50, three copies of “My Mother’s Life,” Mrs. Rossiter will send a fourth copy free; and in addition will give to the Woman’s Gospel Work five per cent on the full price of all three copies sold: that will be seven and one-half cents on each copy sold. The way to do it is this: Send $1.50 and get a copy, to show. Then take orders for two copies, and send in the money, $3, with these two orders, and you will get three copies in return; and twenty-two and one-half cents, in money, will go at once into the money box of the Woman’s Gospel Work. Of course, if any one chooses to send at once the money for three copies, $4.50, she can do so, and will in return get four copies of the book, and twenty-two and one-half cents will go to the Woman’s Gospel Work. The offer is good on not simply three copies for each woman, but on all that the women will sell: with each three sold, a fourth one goes free. Here is a good opportunity to do gospel work, and get for the Woman’s Gospel Work a good fund besides. See: if only one thousand copies were sold, the Woman’s Gospel Work would receive seventy-five dollars; and that would be a great help. But it should be easy to sell at least five thousand; and that would give to the Woman’s Gospel Work three hundred and seventy-five dollars. The work of circulating the book is itself gospel work; for every copy will do only gospel work wherever it may be read; and in addition to this, it brings a fund with which to do other gospel work. We sincerely wish that “My Mother’s Life” were read by every girl and by every woman in every Seventh-day Adventist family, as well as in all families. Address all orders to Mrs. Mary Henry Rossiter, 294 Van Buren St., Battle Creek, Mich. Remember that this offer is good to any woman till Dec. 1, 1900. Now, sisters, go ahead; and only success to you.
