Our Publishing Work

By Editor

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

THE new edition of “Early Writings” is bound so as to conform to the size and style of the “Testimonies for the Church.” Its contents are of such nature that it is, in fact, a part of the Testimony series. No one can really grasp the full importance of the present work of the message without the help “Early Writings” affords. Bound in plain cloth, 75 cents; in flexible leather, $1.25.

THE students who entered the canvassing work from the sanitarium training-school in the Cumberland Conference are enjoying many blessings, and a good degree of success has attended them in their work. J. L. Maroon, the Cumberland Conference agent, writes favorably of the prospects for the book work in that conference. He assures us that his conference possesses some excellent unworked territory.

EVERY member of every Seventh-day Adventist family should study the Sabbath-school lessons for the present quarter. Having the teachings of these lessons applied in the daily lives of the members of our families would prove to be one of the greatest blessings that could come to the denomination at the present time. These lessons are printed in pamphlet form under the title of “Sabbath-school Lesson Quarterly.” Price, 5 cents a copy.

How you can interest the children will be found in “Lessons for Children’s Meetings,” No. 4, which has just been published by the Review and Herald for the Sabbath-school Department. It is an illustrated pamphlet of sixty-two pages, containing outline of lessons, together with suggestions, blackboard drawings, and word-picture studies adapted to the needs of primary workers in children’s meetings. It will also be a great help to mothers who desire to give their little ones lessons at home. It is, in fact, worth much more than its price, 10 cents.

WE have a letter, containing one dollar for Life and Health, sent to Mrs. M. C. Wilcox, Mountain View, Cal., by a traveling man who picked up part of a torn copy of Life and Health which contained Mrs. Wilcox’s name and address. This man was so impressed with the value of the paper containing such matter as he found in the torn copy that he at once wrote to Mrs. Wilcox, and requested her to send him the paper for a year, or for as long as one dollar would pay. There are thousands of others who would be as anxious for Life and Health as this person if they only knew of it. The public mind is being turned to the principles of health. The recent exposures of the methods employed in the large packing-houses has caused the people to think upon the unhealthfulness of a meat diet, and they are turning their attention to health reform principles. This is one of the most favorable times to introduce our health literature. The July number of Life and Health is meeting with good success. We need a large force of boys and girls, as well as men and women, to introduce the journal into the homes of the people. Good commissions are given on annual subscriptions and on copies to sell.

WE are glad to know there are so many boys and girls who are not afraid of hard work, and who desire to do something to help others. We are receiving prompt responses to our recent request for the names and addresses of all such boys and girls, and yet there is room for more. Let the names come in.

ARE you interested in the health of babies? If so, read in Life and Health the series of articles by Dr. F. M. Rossiter, on “The Baby: Its Dangers, Diseases, and Care.” Mrs. A. C. Bainbridge is also furnishing a series of articles on “Divine Healing.” Send five cents for a sample copy, or fifty cents for a yearly subscription.

OCCASIONALLY our agents receive calls for family Bibles, and have asked us for prices. We wish to announce that we have prepared a Family Bible Prospectus, which shows the full-size type, page, illustrations, cover designs, price, etc. To any agent desiring one of these prospectuses, we will send the same free on application. It is not every day that an order is received for a Bible, but such orders are profitable, and all agents should be prepared to receive them. With these Family Bible Prospectuses, taken together with our circulars for our large-type, medium-size books, agents will be able to meet almost any demand for Bibles.

Liberty, No. 2, is now ready. It is a very attractive number, both in appearance and in contents. The front cover page has a picture of the Canadian House of Parliament, while the back cover has a cut of the American Liberty Bell. It is illustrated throughout in keeping with the reading-matter, which we believe will convince all reasonable people that Sunday laws are not essential to good government. This number deals largely with the question of Sunday laws and general religious legislation. It will be valuable in proportion to its circulation. If it is given a large circulation, its influence will be a forceful factor against the present strong tide favoring religious legislation and the enforcing of Sunday laws. If the REVIEW readers do their duty to their fellow men at this critical time, 200,000 copies of the second number of Liberty will be circulated in a short time. Prices are as follows: Single copy per annum, including extras, 25 cents; single copy of any regular issue, 5 cents; single copy of an extra, according to size; five or more copies per annum to different addresses, one order, 15 cents a copy; ten or more copies per annum to one address, one order, 15 cents a copy; twenty-five or more copies of any one issue, to one address, 2½ cents a copy.

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.
