Our Publishing Work

By Editor

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

A NEW commandment chart has been printed by the Review and Herald Publishing Association, Washington, D. C. It is longer than the old chart, and has the words “The Law of God” printed in large letters at the top of the chart. The whole chart has been materially improved, yet the price remains the same, $1, post-paid.

No employment develops the individual so quickly and thoroughly as salesmanship. It brings self-reliance, instinct in meeting the demands of the moment, capacity to meet people in their sphere, and ability to adjust themselves to the present demands. No education or training is quite complete without the discipline of the occupation of salesmanship.

THE October number of Life and Health was ready to mail on the fifteenth of September. Although the September edition was the largest regular edition ever printed, it was entirely exhausted by the fourteenth of the month, and the October number was hurried out in order to meet the demand for the journal. The principal topics composing the October number are upon HYDROTHERAPY IN THE TREATMENT OF FEEBLE-MINDED CHILDREN, citing cases and giving the treatments with the results, by a practising physician; DIVINE HEALING, based upon Matt. 8:17, “Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses;” SOME MEDICAL FOIBLES, the fallacies of these foibles exposed to the X-rays of common sense; BENJAMIN FRANKLIN AS A VEGETARIAN—how he began, what he ate, and the result; HOUSEHOLD AND CULINARY HINTS on common things, such as Towel Racks, Baking Tins, Stewing and Boiling, Where to Obtain Information on Foods, Okra and Its Use, Teachers of Vegetarianism, Pickles, and Potato Chowder; CURVES OF THE BODY, designed by the Divine Architect, deformed by man—how to correct them; EDITORIALS ON Effects of Tobacco, Lack of Health among School Children in Large Cities, Where Doctors Disagree, The Health of a Farmer, etc.; CURRENT COMMENT. In sparkling paragraphs comment is made upon the following topics: Juvenile Smoking, Some Effects of Corset Wearing, How Much to Eat, Overeating by the Poor, Why Should We Eat Meat at All? Prevention Versus Cure, Don’t Worry, Value of an All-Round Education, Society People Adopting Outdoor Life, Bad Air Versus the Gospel, The Air Cure, Unsanitary Schoolrooms, Why Is School Work Irksome? German Work in Combating Tuberculosis, Snails as Food, etc. THE QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS DEPARTMENT contains questions with answers on the following subjects: Embalmed Canned Goods, Hives, Heartburn, Roaring in the Ears, Dry Ear-Wax and Itching, Itching after Bath, Drowsiness, Scurvy, Consumption, Raw Vegetables, Food Combinations, Blood Purifiers, Remedy for Acidity, The Sugar in Health Foods, etc. NEWS NOTES of interest and profit, together with other matter not mentioned, make up the October number. Address any State tract society, or Life and Health, Takoma Park Station, Washington, D. C.

THOSE who have not purchased “Things Foretold” for their children should do so as early as possible. They will find it very helpful to them in many ways. It is simple in language, profuse in illustrations, tells the beautiful story of Daniel in Babylon, and makes interesting to the children the various symbols of the prophecies. It has been written and dedicated to the children. Price, 50 cents.

A FOURTEEN-YEAR-OLD girl made $9 a week selling Life and Health during the past year, and is now attending the South Lancaster Academy, paying her own way from the proceeds she has made selling Life and Health during the year. This is a good example for our hustling boys. There are many boys who are now making $5 a week when they might make more selling Life and Health. We want boys, industrious boys,—boys who want to do something for others while they are making a good income for themselves. Let all such boys write to Life and Health for full particulars.

WE often receive letters inquiring for a good, yet cheap book for inexperienced persons to sell,—a book that contains the message for this time. We feel free to recommend “His Glorious Appearing,” which is an exposition of that wonderful chapter, Matthew 24, containing Christ’s great prophecy of his own second coming, and the signs that are to precede this great event. It is, in fact, Christ’s own message to this generation. It has 114 pages of thrilling matter, thoroughly illustrated, bound in two styles, cloth and board, 25 and 40 cents. Good discount is given to agents. Three hundred and seventy-eight thousand copies of this book have been sold. A million copies ought to be circulated in the near future.

IF our readers would call more frequent attention to “Marvel of Nations,” they would find that people would be much more readily interested in the fulfilment of prophecy. Every one in America is especially interested in, and proud of, the wonderful progress of the United States; and when it is shown that this government is spoken of in prophecy, and that it is yet to play an important part in the world’s history, this subject becomes one of intense interest to active-minded persons, and they will read the book, and profit by its teachings. Let those who want to do missionary work, take a few hours and try the plan of calling the people’s attention to “Marvel of Nations.” The book contains 324 pages, bound in cloth, plain edges, $1.25; cloth, gilt, $1.50.
