Our Publishing Work

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.

WHAT is the most available means for the ordinary man or woman to do service for God and humanity? Who will give a short, concise answer for a second-page note?

WHO is improving the present favorable time to interest Sunday-school teachers in “Desire of Ages” while the International Sunday-school Lessons are on the life of Christ? All our publishing houses furnish free a little booklet that gives the pages in “Desire of Ages” where the same subject is treated which composes the Sunday-school lessons. With this booklet almost any one, with a little study, can impress the importance of “Desire of Ages” as a valuable commentary on these lessons. Many Sunday-school workers have expressed high appreciation of “Desire of Ages,” and there are thousands of others who would appreciate it if they had their attention called to it in connection with the present International Sunday-school Lessons.

A PROFOUND impression has been made by the special Earthquake Signs of the Times. Those who have had a part in making this impression by selling the Signs should see to it that nothing prevents them from following up the interest created, by the use of our books containing the special message for this time. This is an opportune time—one of great value. Don’t fail to use it. Every man or woman who has bought a special Signs may be easily interested in some book bearing upon the second coming of Christ. If they are neglected, the little truth they have had may be lost, and they be hardened by it rather than benefited. Let not the workers be instrumental in hardening any through neglect.

REALIZING that much is lost by not following up the work of our canvassers with other reading-matter and missionary correspondence, the following resolutions were adopted at the bookmen’s convention held at Berrien Springs, Mich.:— “Whereas, Much has been lost by not following up the work of our canvassers, and,— “Whereas, Our good brethren and sisters in all our churches will be greatly benefited spiritually by co-operating in the follow-up work, and,— “Whereas, The great object of our work is to bring people to an acceptance of present truth, therefore,— “We recommend, A thorough follow-up work by securing at our conference office a list of names and addresses of those to whom our large subscription books have been sold, and then enlist the co-operation of our brethren and sisters in taking up correspondence with these persons, and where there has been an interest awakened, follow it up with other literature; and that all our churches be encouraged to take clubs of the Signs, Watchman, and Life and Health to be used with the correspondence in the follow-up work.”

WANTED.—The names and addresses of boys and girls between the ages of eight and twelve who are not afraid of hard work, and who want to do something to benefit others, and to help themselves to develop into noble men and women. Let all such names be sent to Life and Health, Takoma Park Station, Washington, D. C.

WE are pleased to be able to announce the completion of a new edition of “Early Writings,” which contains the first published Testimonies of Mrs. E. G. White. It is an entire rebuild of the old book from new plates, uniform in size with “Testimonies for the Church.” Bound in plain cloth, 75 cents. Flexible leather, $1.25.

THE third quarter Sabbath-school lessons for the Senior Divisions will be “Studies on Practical Religion in the Home,” under the following topics: The Home; Relation of Parents and Children; Duty of Children toward Their Parents; Duties and Work of the Young; Our Words and Thoughts; Family Prayer; The Fruit of the Spirit—Love and Joy; The Fruit of the Spirit—Peace and Long-Suffering; The Fruit of the Spirit—Goodness, Faith, Meekness; Temperance; Patience; The Proper Observance of the Sabbath. These lessons will be of great spiritual value to the church. Price, 5 cents a copy, or 20 cents by subscription for one year.

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT and many able writers of the day have had much to say of late about the condition of the meat-packing establishments of this country. Those who have read the description given by eye-witnesses of the unsanitary conditions found in these places, must certainly question the further use of the products from such sources. As a result of this disclosure, many would doubtless welcome a menu from which meat has been eliminated, and would consider the adoption of a vegetarian diet if they only knew how to begin. We, therefore, suggest as a means to this end, the following good vegetarian cook-books, which will be a great help to those desiring to adopt the vegetarian diet: “The Vegetarian Cook Book,” filled with recipes demonstrated by one of the largest and most successful vegetarian cafés in the country. Price, 75 cents, post-paid. “A Friend in the Kitchen,” a very commendable cook-book which does not go into extremes. It discards all harmful ingredients, is thoroughly hygienic and common sense. It tells how to live economically, yet well. In paper covers, 25 cents; cloth, 50 cents.
