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.

Do you suppose that birds can think, and that they reason? Do you suppose that they plan things and play mischievous pranks? Do you suppose that they can learn to love people? Would you like to know what lessons can be learned from the frog? Would you like to learn a lesson from the weeds that grow almost everywhere? Would you like to know some of the habits of the birds? Would you like to read some very interesting and true stories of some birds and other creatures that once lived in a certain man's garden? If so, you should order “My Garden Neighbors,” by L. A. Reed. You can get it through this Office, or by ordering from your tract society. It is a book of many illustrations, and contains 256 pages. Price, $1.

BIBLE HERO CLASSICS is the title of a series of twelve covered pamphlets containing ethical Biblical stories of Abraham, Jacob, Joseph, Joshua, Samuel, Solomon, Elijah-Elisha, Daniel, Ruth-Esther, Samson-Gideon, Moses, and David. In bringing out this series of stories it is the author's purpose to make this generation as well acquainted with these principal Bible characters as with Alexander, Cæsar, King Arthur, etc. It is hoped that thousands of parents and teachers will take advantage of the “Classics,” in order to introduce the inimitable stories of the Bible to the young people. It is believed these thrilling stories will be read by the youth, instead of the many harmful stories, if they can only be placed in their possession. The books have been critically examined by competent persons, and are pronounced clean and good. The Review and Herald will sell them in full sets, post-paid, for 80 cents.

The February number of Life and Health is said to be the best number published. The following table of contents will help to give some idea of its value: How to Overcome Constipation; Normal Life; Jesus the Healer; The Anti-Alcoholic Movement among Students and Practitioners; Paralyze Your Leucocytes?

A liberal commission is allowed agents on yearly subscriptions. Correspondence solicited.

UNLESS one knows how to care for himself, he is very apt to contract a cold at this season of the year. Any one can learn how to prevent colds, and how to break up one which has been contracted, by reading the little book entitled “Colds: Their Cure and Prevention.” This little book is worth many times its price. It is very practical during the entire year. Price, 25 cents.

WE have been pleased to note the large number of requests received from the general public within the last few weeks for agencies for our books, which has verified, in the work of our colporteurs, the scripture, “My word . . . shall not return unto me void, . . . it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.” It is very evident that the people are reading our books and becoming interested in them. One lady has taken quite a number of orders for “Coming King” without having asked permission from any one, and wishes to know where she may obtain the books. May the seeds thus sown by our faithful workers bear much fruit.
