Our Publishing Work

By Editor

The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that published it. Psalm 68:11.

A NEW edition of Words of Truth Series, No. 32, “Can We Know?” is just being printed. The demand for this tract has been exceptionally good during the past six months. The tract appeals to a certain class of persons who are ever ready to answer in the negative. It clearly sets forth the Biblical evidences of the near coming of Christ. It is one of the best tracts we have for general distribution. Price, 40 cents a hundred, post-paid.

A NEW edition of “Modern Spiritualism,” by Uriah Smith, is being printed. This work is composed of seven chapters upon the following topics: A Manifestation of Power and Intelligence, The Progress of Spiritualism, The Agency in Question, Credentials of the Bible, The Soul Not Immortal, The Dead Unconscious, Evil Angels, Warnings Against Evil Spirits, Dangers of Mediumship, Miscellaneous Teaching, Spirits Unidentified, Promises of Spiritualism, Spiritualism a Subject of Prophecy, etc. The work contains 154 pages. Paper covers, 20 cents; cloth, 40 cents.

THERE is still a good demand for “An Appeal to the Clergy.” Our workers find this an excellent tract for presenting to the ministers of the gospel, and also to intelligent readers who desire to know more perfectly the facts in connection with the Sabbath question. Nearly half a million copies of this tract have been circulated, and the results have been excellent. It having been written by ministers and addressed to ministers, it is only reasonable to believe that this tract should be an able and authentic treatise upon the subject of the Sabbath. Price, 40 cents a hundred, post-paid.

WE are pleased to announce that a revision of the “Sabbath-school Record and Register” has been made, and that an order has been placed with the Review and Herald for the printing of a revised edition. We shall hope to have the new edition ready in a short time. The book has been simplified, and so arranged that our Sabbath-school secretaries will find it a real pleasure to keep the records of the school, and we believe our Sabbath-school workers everywhere will much appreciate the revised book. The prices will be given as early as possible after the work is completed.

THE new Year-Book for 1907 is now ready to mail. It contains many improvements over previous editions, and will serve as an excellent reference to denominational affairs. All the usual matter heretofore comprising our Year-Books is arranged in a more convenient form, and the new statistical records of our institutions are greatly enlarged, and appropriately grouped with the other matter. It contains the fundamental principles of Seventh-day Adventism, which were printed in the 1905 Year-Book. This feature will be of great service in missionary work, for there is a constant demand for a statement of the belief of our people, which can not be supplied in any other publication. Price, 25 cents, post-paid.

“HARD NUTS CRACKED” is the title of Words of Truth Series, No. 45, which is just being published. It refutes many of the common objections to the position held by Seventh-day Adventists. It is written especially in answer to the objections recently circulated by A. Sims, of Toronto, Ontario. The articles were printed in the REVIEW some time ago, and are now being compiled in tract form. The price will be quoted later.

ONLY a short time ago, the Review and Herald printed 20,000 each of the Religious Liberty Leaflets, Nos. 1, 2, 3, and 4; but orders have come in so rapidly that another edition of 20,000 copies is now demanded, and is being printed. While the leaflets are small and inexpensive, they are quite effectual in placing before the people correct religious liberty principles upon the following subjects: Principles Too Little Understood; a short, practical, impressive discussion of the fundamental principles of personal, national, and religious liberty. Eight pages, price 38 cents a hundred. Sunday Laws: Their Origin, Nature, and Object; eight pages, price 38 cents a hundred. The Logic of Sabbath Legislation; exposing the evils of Sabbath legislation and revealing the true meaning of all Sabbath laws. Eight pages, price 38 cents a hundred. The Civil Sabbath; refuting the arguments for the establishment of the civil sabbath, and revealing the principles of true Sabbath observance contrasted with enforced observance. Twelve pages, price, 55 cents a hundred.

HAVE you read the story of A Very Odd Neighbor, as given in Dr. Reed's book, “My Garden Neighbors”? It is a very odd story indeed of two tumblebugs and all that happened to them. You will be interested in reading it, and in knowing all the queer things that the Egyptians used to think concerning these queer bugs. In the chapter entitled “Imposing on Others,” you can read of the catbird which tried to impose on other birds, and what became of it. In the chapter called “The School of Birds” you will find that even birds have to learn some things, and that they are taught by their parents. The chapter closes with the wonderful way in which little birds are taught to fly. In the chapter entitled “Bird Ways” you will find many interesting things about birds that quite likely you do not know, but would like to know, and the last forty pages of the book tell you how to become acquainted with nearly a hundred of the most interesting birds. The only way you can know all the interesting things in this book is to purchase a copy. Order from the Review and Herald, or through your tract society; 256 pages. Price, $1.

Orders for any publication mentioned on this page may be sent to any conference tract society, or to Review and Herald Publishing Association, Takoma Park Station, Washington, D. C., or Battle Creek, Mich.
