THE WORK — AND — THE WORKERS

By Editor

Every Seventh-day Adventist who wishes to keep up-to-date in the message needs the Year Book. Have you one? 25 cents, post-paid.

“The four of us sold over 200 copies of Life and Health yesterday,” writes one of our Baltimore, Md., agents. They have ordered 1,000 copies for two-weeks’ work in that city.

The entire edition of the May Life and Health (40,000 copies) was exhausted May 6. We are now filling orders with the June number, 50,000 copies of which we are printing as a first edition.

South Lancaster (Mass.) Academy will furnish a large company of student canvassers this season. In addition to the regular book canvassers a large number are planning to earn scholarships through the sale of our ten-cent magazines.

If you are one of the scores of new periodical agents just entering the field, you will surely want to read our two little folders entitled “How to Earn a Scholarship Through the Sale of Four Magazines” and “How to Sell Our Magazines.” They are free for the asking, and will show you actual sales records besides.

Step by step is the way children learn to walk. The Christian learns in much the same way to walk the heavenly path. “Steps to Christ” is designed to help those who are “just learning to walk,” or who would learn to walk better. The old, old story is told as only one who has been over the road can tell it. The cloth gift binding makes an excellent gift book; price, $1. Cloth, plain, 60 cents; paper, 35 cents.

Some of our good friends are sending in their applications for two-year and three-year subscriptions for the Protestant Magazine at the special fifteen-cent-a-year rate. We are sorry to disappoint these, but this special rate was made for the sole purpose of building up a large initial subscription list. Not less than five copies must be ordered to secure this rate of fifteen cents a year.

The Missionary Volunteer secretary of the Virginia Conference writes: “In behalf of the Missionary Volunteer department of Virginia, and on my own account, accept my hearty thanks for a work that is just what is needed, and is put in such form that every Seventh-day Adventist should possess a copy.” What is the book?—Why, “Great Second Advent Movement,” of course. It is a complete history of the rise of the Seventh-day Adventist denomination. The price is within the reach of all. Paper, 50 cents; cloth, $1.25.

Agents do well with the “R. and H.” clear-type Bible. Write for prices and terms. Remember there are three reasons why the “R. and H.” Bible satisfies,—Clear Type, Light Weight, Serviceable Binding.

“Find $3 money-order enclosed, for which please send twenty copies of the new Protestant Magazine for one year, to my address,” writes a sister from Portland, Ore. Is your list made up yet? The leading people of your town should have this live magazine to read next year.

Brother L. C. Mitchell, secretary of the Ohio Tract Society, sends us thirty-five yearly subscriptions for the Protestant Magazine. Among the names sent we note that of a probate judge of that State. Your leading townspeople, judges, attorneys, physicians, and others should have this magazine for one year. Send $1.50 with ten names, or seventy-five cents with five addresses. Make up your list to-day.

We can fit out your kindergarten division in the Sabbath-school with 1 Round Table, 1 set of Kindergarten Material, 1 copy of “Bible Object Lessons,” 1 copy “Blackboard Sketches,” 6 Little Red Chairs, 1 Teacher’s Chair, for only $12.50. A successful kindergarten is certainly worth more than 25 cents a week. Give the children a chance. Let them exert their energy where it will bring results. Let them build the lesson and tell the story as they build. Full description will be sent to any address on request.

You can begin giving Bible readings right now. If you feel unfamiliar with the subjects you would like to present, order a set of the Family Bible Teacher (twenty-eight numbers). Each number is a complete Bible reading in itself; all you have to do is to hand it to the person to whom you wish to give the Bible reading. The printed page has the advantage of the spoken word in that it does not argue; it simply states the fact. Any one can use the Family Bible Teacher. It provides a means whereby you may bring the truth before your friends and neighbors. One set, twenty-eight numbers, 10 cents; complete set, bound in paper covers, 20 cents.

The Northern Illinois Tract Society has just telegraphed for 1,000 copies of the May Life and Health. This is their second order for 1,000 copies of this issue.

“Change of the Sabbath,” by G. I. Butler, is an excellent presentation of this subject. The author shows very plainly that the Sabbath was really never changed, but that the supposed change is only man’s substitution for the genuine. Paper covers, 25 cents; cloth, 50 cents.

“In making fifteen calls I sold ten copies,” writes one of our Nebraska agents who is selling the Temperance number of the Youth’s Instructor. She adds: “Where they do not buy, I leave the little tract, ‘Drunkenness and Crime.’ I am sure I can dispose of as many more, though I do not live in a thickly settled country.”

When the birds begin to come back, the children will want to know their names. “Garden Neighbors” tells how to cultivate the acquaintance of our feathered friends, how to tell what kind of birds they are, and how to attract them to our dooryard. The book is only $1. It contains 256 pages, and is profusely illustrated. Bound in pretty blue cloth, and stamped in black and white. Do not delay placing your order.

Many of the young people in our schools and institutions are starting classes in pronunciation and enunciation. They use as a text-book “The Speaker’s Manual of Pronunciation.” This little book lists over 2,000 words commonly mispronounced. Every minister, teacher, student, in fact every one who speaks the English language, should have a copy of this book. Price, cloth, 25 cents; leather, 50 cents.

One by one our schools are writing us of their acceptance of the magazine scholarship plan. The following institutions have agreed to give the ten-per-cent discount to our periodical agents who secure scholarships this summer through the sale of the ten-cent magazines: South Lancaster (Mass.) Academy; Emmanuel Missionary College, Berrien Springs, Mich.; Mount Vernon (Ohio) College; Southern Training-school, Graysville, Tenn.; Bethel (Wis.) Academy; Beechwood Manual Training Academy, Fairland, Ind.; Strode Industrial School, Oswego, Kan.; and Eufoia Academy of Industrial Mechanics, Eufoia, N. C. The business managers of some of the schools inform us that thus far their boards have not been able to meet to take action regarding the matter. Further lists of the schools that accept the plan, will be published from time to time. In the meantime write to the principal of the school you wish to attend next year, and secure calendar and other information necessary. The sooner you get to work with the magazines, the quicker your scholarship will be earned. This plan provides a way whereby you may secure an education.
