The Year-Book for 1907

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 and guide for all people with 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.

This book will also contain the fundamental principles of the denomination 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 the denomination which can not be supplied as the pamphlet “Our Faith and Hope,” is out of print.

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 idea of the mighty work being done by the denomination. Not only every worker, but every family in the denomination, 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 any publishing house.

Our Little Folks' Bible Nature

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.

The New Testament Primer

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, twenty-five and fifty cents.

Bibles for Everybody

The Review and Herald Publishing Association, of Washington, D. C., has secured a line of Bibles printed in the Old Country that equals any other Bible published. They contain all the latest, up-to-date features of any Bible manufactured, and have a clear, large, bold-faced type, Arabic figures for chapter headings, the popular center-column references, with or without thumb index; 6¾ in. long by 4¾ in. wide, ⅞ in. thick, except the cheapest book, which is 1¼ in. thick. The general demand is for a large type in a small Bible, and this line is the nearest approach to such a book we know of. Note the following styles and prices: No. 2990, Alsatian morocco, divinity circuit, round corners, red-under-gold edges, silk head-band and marker, linen lined, plain book paper, $2.50. No. 2990x, same as above, with the exception of being made with thin India paper, which makes it only ⅞ of an inch thick, $3.50. No. 2992x, Egyptian morocco, same style as above, grained leather, silk sewed, $4. No. 2996x, Alaska seal, same style as above, calf lined to edge, silk sewed, $5.50. If concordance is desired, 50 cents extra; if thumb index, 50 cents extra. Order by the number of the Bible.

It pays to buy more than one Bible. If persons can club together and send us an order for three Bibles to one address, a liberal discount will be made.

Religious Liberty Leaflets

We call special attention to our Religious Liberty Leaflets, which are especially adapted for general circulation. They are splendid tracts to use in connection with the circulation of Liberty.

Leaflet No. 1 bears the title of “Principles Too Little Understood.” It contains a short, practical, impressive discussion of the fundamental principles of personal and national religious liberty. Eight pages; price, 38 cents a hundred.

Leaflet No. 2 is an eight-page tract entitled “Sunday Laws: Their Origin, Nature, and Object.” Any one reading this tract will not fail to discern the true spirit of these religious enactments. This tract, circulated in any community where Sunday legislation is in progress, will wield a mighty influence in favor of right principles and in preventing the enforcement of Sunday laws. Price, 38 cents a hundred.

Leaflet No. 3 exposes the evil of Sabbath legislation, and reveals the true meaning of Sabbath laws. The title of this tract is “The Logic of Sabbath Legislation.” It contains eight pages. Price, 38 cents a hundred.

Leaflet No. 4 is entitled “The Civil Sabbath.” It exposes arguments that are prevalent for the civil sabbath in the United States. Associated with this exposition are given principles of true Sabbath observance contrasted with enforced observance. Twelve pages, 55 cents a hundred.

A Friend in the Kitchen

“A Friend in the Kitchen, or What to Cook and How to Cook It,” by Mrs. Anna L. Colcord, is described in the following first paragraph of the preface of this helpful book: “The object of this work is to furnish in an inexpensive and convenient form plain directions on healthful cookery. Special attention has been given to the idea presenting such recipes as will tend to make the living of the family what it should be,—simple, economical, wholesome, nutritious, palatable, and varied.”

The book gives over four hundred recipes, while in the back will be found a table giving the time required to digest various foods, another giving the nutritive value of different foods, still another setting forth the weights and measures for the kitchen. Special paper binding, 25 cents; oilcloth, 50 cents, post-paid.

This is an easy book to sell in almost any locality. Housekeepers are always interested in healthful cookery. A young girl went out in the city of Washington a few days ago, and sold seven copies during the first hour. A good discount on sales is given to regular agents.

Ministry of Healing

While there are many persons suffering with real disease, there are many who are merely mind-sick. To such, “Ministry of Healing” would be a great blessing, for it reveals the fact that many die of disease, the cause of which is wholly imaginary. “Ministry of Healing” reveals clearly the purpose of the Creator in placing the mind in control of the body. It reveals the true relation between the mind and the body, and gives suggestions to those who are mentally sick that will greatly assist them in overcoming their imaginary difficulties. No better service can be rendered the general public than placing “Ministry of Healing” in the possession of the people, and there is no better time to render this service than just before the holidays. Prices: $1.50 in freight shipments, $1.65 when sent by mail.

New Commandment Chart

Our new commandment chart just printed by the Review and Herald Publishing Association is 36 inches wide and 51 inches long. The type is large enough to be easily read in the largest hall or tent. It has the words, “The Law of God,” printed in large type at the top. It is in all particulars a decided improvement over the old chart, yet the price remains the same,—$1, post-paid.

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.
