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.

THE following is a very attractive series of illustrated books for children: “My Garden Neighbors,” $1; “Home, Haunts, and Habits of Wild Animals,” 75 cents; “Happy Days on the Farm,” 35 cents; “Wild Animals at Home,” 35 cents; “Wood’s Natural History,” 50 cents.

THE new Year-book for 1906 is only 25 cents a copy, post-paid, yet it contains much denominational information upon the general union and State conference organizations in all parts of the world, together with a directory of workers in all departments. It contains a full list of all denominational institutions, with their boards of managers, all periodicals, and much other matter that will assist one in studying the progress of the work of the church.

WE quote the following from a letter recently received: “The cook-book, ‘A Friend in the Kitchen,’ continues to work well with Life and Health. Out of fourteen calls I took thirteen orders for the book, and thirteen subscriptions for the journal from as many delighted patrons. I find, with but few exceptions, the wealthiest and most cultured people of any community subscribe readily for Life and Health, and take the cook-book with it.” The two are furnished together, the journal for one year, and the book, for $1.

DURING the past two or three months the publishers of the Youth’s Instructor have received a large number of requests for sample copies of the Instructor from those not connected with our denominational work. The Instructor is one of the best youth’s papers published, and the general public are recognizing it as such. Every Sabbath-school member should select individuals to whom he could send sample copies of the Instructor, and write personal letters soliciting their subscriptions. The Instructor is one of the best papers published to place in hospitals. Sick people in all parts of the country have written the publishers of their special appreciation of the cheerful, clean, helpful matter the Instructor contains. Annual subscription price, 75 cents.

“THE COMING KING” is a book that everybody likes on account of the practical and intensely interesting manner in which it treats themes that are of the greatest moment to men at the present time. Beginning with creation, it treats briefly, yet clearly, the development of the plan of salvation down to the time of Christ. Then taking up the Saviour’s wonderful outline of the future history of the world, beginning with the overthrow of Jerusalem, the fulfilment of his words is traced down through the Dark Ages to the time when the King of kings will come to bring to an end the reign of sin. Special consideration is given to the great questions and problems that are now stirring the hearts and minds of men. Neatly and substantially bound in cloth, $1. Presentation edition, gilt edges, $1.50. Published in English, German, Danish, and Swedish.

PARENTS who desire to secure something for their children to read, ought to have “Sabbath Readings,” Vols. I and III, which the publishers have on hand at the present time. These two volumes contain 752 pages of the very best stories for young people. These volumes are bound in cloth, and will be sent, post-paid, for 40 cents each.

No one can read “The Lover’s Love, or John Three-Sixteen,” without receiving great benefit. It possesses rare merit and essential human interest. It sparkles with divine truth, and glows with lofty thought. It reasons with moving tenderness, exalting Christ, glorifying God, cheering saints, and winning the hearts of sinners. In neat cloth binding, 176 pages; price, 75 cents, post-paid.

WE quote a few Bibles and Testaments for children as follows: No. 1205, Bible, bound in red leather, red edges, with small but readable type, one color illustrations; price, 50 cents. No. 1405, Bible bound in red leather, and printed in larger type, full illustrations with colored engravings; price, $1. No. 3, New Testament, bound in black leather, gilt edges; price, 30 cents. No. 4, New Testament, with soul-saving texts marked in red, 13 cents. No. 5, New Testament, bound in cheap cloth; price, 10 cents.

THERE is much interest concerning the future home of man. All are desirous of knowing what the future world holds in store for them. The book “Our Paradise Home,” by Elder S. H. Lane, will clear the mystery to the satisfaction of all. It reveals the Bible facts about the wonderful kingdom of glory, and the beautiful city, New Jerusalem, in a manner that will please and profit the reader. In treating this subject, the writer touches on other topics closely allied with them, such as the judgment, millennium, resurrection, etc. Bound in board, 25 cents; cloth, 50 cents.

THE Sabbath School Worker is to the Sabbath-school teachers and officers the same as improved agricultural implements are to the farmer. It enables them to do their work much more effectively and easily. Many testify to this fact. The following is a sample of encouraging words often received by the publishers: “To me the Worker is a valuable and indispensable instructor. I am anxious for those who do not have it in their schools. Some think it costs so much to get all the supplies necessary for their schools, but they do not realize that it costs more to lose the benefits derived from such a help. The better equipped the school, the better it will prosper financially and spiritually.”
