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.

A NEW, revised edition of “Our Little Folks’ Bible Nature” is just being completed. This is a kindergarten book of simple, graded lessons in Bible nature, beginning with the narration of the events in the week of creation, and continuing these in the order given in the Scriptures. It is a beginner’s graded book on the sentence-method order. Each subject is thoroughly illustrated with new drawings made especially for the book. It is also illustrated with fifteen beautiful colored plates, and contains 128 pages, bound in board and cloth covers with colored designs. Besides being a book for general use in the home, it is especially adapted to church-school work. It has proved to be a very desirable work; and with the new improvements, we believe the general public will be pleased with it. The price is 25 and 50 cents.

NOTE some of the good things said of the REVIEW: “Please find enclosed $1.50 to renew my subscription to the good old REVIEW for one year. We love it more and more. We have, in pinching times, denied ourselves necessary food in order to have its weekly visits, and have enjoyed the spiritual food it has brought to us. Often when we were almost discouraged, it has given us renewed courage. When our faith was weak, it has been the means, in the hands of our Father, of encouraging our faith. How often, when our pathway seemed dark, it has thrown the bright beams of the Sun of Righteousness athwart our path, and enabled us to see clearly the difference between truth and error! May the good old REVIEW still continue to give the clear-cut truth, words of counsel to the unwise, hope to the weary and faint-hearted ones, until the message has done its work. JAMES RICE.”

THE NEW YEAR-BOOK for 1907 will be ready to mail in a short time. 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 will also contain 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. The rapid growth of the denomination as revealed in the 1907 Year-Book, placed by the side of the fundamental principles, will render this edition of the Year-Book very desirable for placing in the possession of interested persons. It will be very convincing, and will doubtless help them to gain a comprehensive view of the great work being done. Not only every worker, but every family, should have a copy for reference and study, and thousands of copies should be used in missionary work. It can be ordered of any State tract society or of any publishing house.

A NUMBER of our young people have been interested in the true stories of birds and other of nature’s children, as presented in a book published by the Review and Herald, entitled “My Garden Neighbors.” At a time when much fiction is being placed in the hands of our young people, the circulation of a book of this character should be encouraged, as it will take the place of much harmful literature that is flooding the land, and will give them sweet, clean knowledge in place of the harmful influences of fiction. All its stories are true to the creatures named. It has many illustrations, a number of them in colors; 256 pages; price, $1.

“THE NEW TESTAMENT PRIMER” is a new book for children, composed of simplified nature and Bible topics, and sparkling with bright, two-colored illustrations—one of the most attractive children’s books ever published. Arranged in four graded departments, beginning with a Scripture alphabet, the first letter of the Scripture text being printed in two colors, and decorated with vines that grow in Palestine. The second department is a nature display of trees, flowers, animals, birds, and insects, with a slate exercise in writing, drawing, and stick laying. The third and fourth departments contain simple stories of Christ and some of the leading disciples. The entire book is admirably adapted to attract and to teach children—clean, cultured, and convincing. Beautifully bound in board and cloth covers, 25 and 50 cents.

THE JANUARY number of Life and Health begins the series of twelve especially practical issues for 1907. It is full of essential instruction, which all need and will appreciate. Dr. Leadsworth introduces his “Talks to Patients,” on the prevailing disease of constipation—some of its bad results. The editor presents the importance of forming good habits—the power of habits, good and evil; comments on sugar, typhoid fever, cold beds, etc. Mrs. Wilcox brings to mothers excellent suggestions on “The Reading and Associations of Our Children.” Mrs. Fitch, in her “Cooking School,” has some good things on tissue-forming foods and their preparation. Current Comments on The Purin-Free Diet, How to Sleep, Cure for Tuberculosis, Mind Versus Medicine, The Decline of Intemperance, Cause of the Appetite for Alcohol, Partially Trained Nurses; Questions and Answers on Home Treatment for Colds, Butter and Olive-Oil, Malaria, Dandruff, and Corns, Peeling of Skin from Fingers; excellent News Notes; and reports of the medical work in foreign countries, are all of interest. Subscription price, 50 cents a year. Special rates to agents.
