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.

WE frequently receive inquiries for publications in the Japanese language, and we will announce the following: “Steps to Christ,” “His Glorious Appearing,” “Marshaling of the Nations,” “New Testament Sabbath,” “Second Coming of Christ,” “True God and His Sabbath,” “Way of Salvation.”

IN California, a worker in thirty-six hours—one week’s work—took seventy-two orders for “Heralds of the Morning.” Value, $108.50. The week before, in addition to his canvassing, he delivered eighty “Heralds of the Morning” in nine hours’ time. This means a book delivered for every 6¾ minutes.

“HISTORY OF THE SABBATH,” by Elder J. N. Andrews, has been out of print for a time. We have recently bound some of the three-volume pamphlet edition in full cloth, one volume. The margins have been trimmed down a little, making the book a little narrower and shorter, but the contents are the same as in the former subscription edition. These are bound in dark-brown cloth, title stamped in black on the back only. This edition will be sold on the trade-book basis. Price, $1.

THE new magazine, Liberty, has met with universal approval by our people in all parts of this country. They have sent in liberal orders, and as an evidence of the way the magazine is accepted by the people at large, we quote the following from a letter just received from one of our school-teachers: “The 100 copies of the magazine, Liberty, have arrived, and the school has had, and is still continuing to have, splendid success in selling them.” Now is the time to place this magazine in the possession of the people. It contains the principles much needed for this special time. Let others follow the example of the school referred to above. Send us orders for Liberty, and place it in the homes of the people.

AFTER years of careful observation, Horace Mann declared that the “school-teachers of America were a disgrace to the nation.” He was asked for a remedy, and replied, “Make good teachers; train them in normal schools;” and he immediately started one himself. There is universal recognition of the need of trained workers in the Sabbath-school. To meet the demand the editors of the Sabbath School Worker have secured a carefully prepared series of “Normal Lessons for Sabbath-school Workers,” which furnishes a most excellent outline for the study of right principles and methods in Sabbath-school work. This series will begin in the June number of the Worker. All schools that have not yet sent in an order for the journal should do so at once, that they may have the benefit of the complete series. Single subscriptions, 35 cents. In clubs of two or more to one address, 25 cents a year.

THE power of our literature is daily illustrated by letters coming to our publishing houses announcing the reception of the message through reading some of our books. These silent messengers are accomplishing a wonderful work wherever they are placed. All interested persons ought to be doing all in their power to extend the circulation of our books and periodicals.

“HIS GLORIOUS APPEARING” is a small book in paper and cloth covers, containing a verse-by-verse study of Christ’s prophecies recorded in Matthew 24. It brings a thrilling message to the world of Christ’s second coming. The signs of the times foretelling this great event are clearly yet simply explained. Three hundred and eighty-five thousand of this excellent little book have been sold. This is a good testimonial in its behalf. Published in German, Danish, Swedish, and Italian; in plain cloth covers, 40 cents.

“Do not wait to feel that you are made whole, but say, ‘I believe it; it is so, not because I feel it, but because God has promised.’” The above quotation was read by an unconverted person as he sat beside another individual in a street-car, who was reading from a pocket edition of “Steps to Christ.” It so impressed him that he asked where he could get a copy of the book. There are thousands of people on street-cars every day who would catch gems of truth from our publications if our REVIEW readers would display them more. This edition of “Steps to Christ” is neatly bound in limp leather, of convenient size to carry in the pocket. It is an excellent book for every man to carry in his pocket to read in spare moments. Price, 60 cents.

THE May number of Life and Health is just out. The three general articles in this number are alone worth the price of the journal for one year: “Divine Healing,” teaching conformity to the physical and moral laws in restoring and maintaining health and happiness; “Experience Not Always Reliable,” illustrating in story form erroneous conceptions and practises of self-made invalids; “The Woes of the Sensitive,” prescribing the remedy of applied common sense in the prevention and cure of all sensitiveness, and revealing the way for all sensitive persons to have peace in the place of pangs and constant irritation. The contents of the entire number are very practical, and will not only be beneficial to the general public, but will be appreciated by them. The journal is self-supporting in that it gives the worker a good commission for his services. A number of agents have sold more than 1,000 copies each of the March and April numbers. Send for samples with Suggestive Canvasses and Suggestions on Methods of Work.

Orders for any publication mentioned on this page may be sent to any conference tract society or to Review and Herald Publishing Association, Washington, D. C., or Battle Creek, Mich.
