THE WORK — AND — THE WORKERS

By Editor

AN order for 1,000 copies of the August Life and Health has just reached us, from a new worker in Canada. We welcome the brother to our large army of agents.

THAT large edition of 130,000 copies of the Temperance number of the Youth's Instructor is nearly all gone. It is wonderful the way this beautiful magazine sells!

EVERY church librarian should be supplied with a copy of the revised edition of that excellent little book, “The Missionary Idea,” by Mrs. A. E. Ellis. Price, in stiff cloth binding, $1; paper, 50 cents, post-paid.

ONE of our agents reported orders to the amount of $63.60, as the result of 36 hours of regular work. The average amount earned per hour was about $1.75. Another agent reports 31 hours and $56 worth of orders, an average of over $1.80 an hour.

FOR the month of June, the Review and Herald shipped over twenty thousand pounds of books, and in July the weight was over thirty-two thousand pounds. This does not include the mail or express orders; it includes only the books that were sent out by freight.

THE largest single order for Liberty has just been received from Mrs. Nettie Moran, through the Western Washington Missionary Society. It calls for 3,100 copies, 3,000 of which will be sold in two of the largest cities in that State. We say “will be sold,” because that is this sister’s record.

“THE PRACTICAL GUIDE TO HEALTH” is at once a concise yet comprehensive work on anatomy, physiology, and hygiene, written in a fascinating manner, and is a valuable compendium of necessary information regarding the treatment of common diseases and the care of the sick. It may be had in cloth binding, $3; library, $4; full morocco, $5.

WHO would not greatly appreciate a member of the family who could answer thousands of practical questions, and furnish the information needed in every household emergency? Any one may have just such a friend in “Home and Health,” a health book of 589 pages, dealing with more useful subjects than any other book ever written. This practical and valuable friend may be made a member of any household for $3, cloth; $4, library; $5, full morocco.

IN a recent editorial, William Marion Reedy states that the public press is so subservient to corporation and other “interests” that the only medium left for the truth is tracts and pamphlets. It was largely through the use of tracts and pamphlets that the early pioneers of this message published a knowledge of the truth. Send for our latest list of pamphlets and tracts. Carry a supply of suitable tracts with you to distribute. A little leaflet even may be the means of saving a soul.

BROTHER G. C. HOSKIN, secretary of the Iowa Tract Society, orders 5,200 periodicals to be used in connection with their camp-meeting periodical campaign. Note the order: 1,500 copies of Life and Health, 1,500 copies of The Protestant Magazine, 500 of the Temperance number of the Youth’s Instructor, 500 of Liberty, and 1,000 copies of the REVIEW,—a total of 4,000 copies of our ten-cent magazines. We trust that other conferences will join those that have already decided to hold home missionary institutes in connection with their camp-meetings. The plan was briefly outlined on page 2, last week.
