The Desire of Ages

In the National Sunday-school Lessons for the first half of the present year, Christ, the Desire of Ages, is the central figure. No story is more impressive than the life of Christ, and none will so well bear repetition. In the hearts of all there is a longing for something not possessed, and it is God’s design that this longing shall lead alone to the One who is able to satisfy it.

It is the purpose of “The Desire of Ages,” which is an intensely interesting and instructive book of over 866 large pages on the life of Christ, to set forth that Life of lives as the One in whom every longing may be satisfied; and from now until July is a very favorable time to interest the Sunday-school people in this book, and thereby bring to them a fuller and truer knowledge of the Redeemer. Those who will, at this time, take this book to the Bible-loving people in the Sunday-schools, will not only be of great service to them, but will receive a commission on their sales that will abundantly pay them for their work.

The book is a handsome volume, profusely illustrated with six thousand dollars’ worth of new original drawings, bound in the following styles:— Cloth, marbled edges ........ $3.50 Cloth, gilt edges ............ 4.25 Library, marbled edges ....... 5.00 Full morocco, gilt edges ..... 7.00

It will be a thrilling treatise on that priceless scripture recorded in John 3:16, and will impress the reader with the wonderful love of God for the world. It will contain an important message to the world, and can easily be sold to all readers of the Bible at this time while the Sunday-school lessons are upon the life of Christ.

Some conception of the scope of the book may be gained from the following table of contents:— “Love Counteth Not the Cost” (poem); “John Three Sixteen;” The Bible Lover—“God;” The Lover’s Intensity of Love—“So Loved;” The Lover’s Object—“The World;” The Lover’s Proof—“That He Gave;” The Lover’s Gift—“His Only Begotten Son;” The Lover’s Proviso—“Whosoever Believeth;” The Lover’s Purpose—“Should Not Perish;” The Lover’s Pledge—“Have Everlasting Life.”

Looking Unto Jesus

Are any perplexed in the study of the Sabbath-school lessons? If there is anything about the lessons they do not quite understand, they should procure a copy of “Looking Unto Jesus,” and study it thoroughly. It will help them to get a better understanding of the sanctuary services. It is an exhaustive treatise on the subject of the sanctuary, and imparts invaluable information upon the prophecies as related to Christ and the plan of redemption. Its author, Uriah Smith, often said it contained the best of his life’s efforts. Of it the North and West says:—

“This work considers the theme of themes, our Saviour and Redeemer. Christ is regarded from every Scriptural point of view,—as present in creation, redemption, and the final judgment; as he is involved in history from Genesis to Revelation.”

Bound in a neat cloth binding, $1, postpaid.

The Gospel Reader

A reader prepared especially to follow “The Gospel Primer,” being graded and generally adapted to the natural progress of the children finishing the “Primer.”

The long and successful experience of the author (G. H. Bell) as an educator and Biblical student has enabled him to embody in this reader the primary essentials in progressive reading, and to utilize the more prominent events in Bible history as suitable subject-matter for a reader adapted to children. The cardinal principles of the gospel are taught in a clear, progressive, interesting manner, and the language is so clear, simple, and direct that small children have no difficulty in understanding the teaching of the text.

The thirty-five chapters of the reader are beautifully and impressively illustrated with twenty-two fine half-tone Bible pictures, and it is substantially and attractively bound in cloth, with a portrait of the Saviour in gold on the front cover; also bound in board covers in two colors. It contains 192 pages, printed in large, clear, new type. Price, in cloth, 75 cents; board covers, 50 cents.

Christ’s Second Coming, or the Bible Evidences and the Signs of Our Times

BY J. Q. A. HAUGHEY

This excellent tract, which has been out of print for some time, has been reset, and bound without covers, and made No. 42 of the Words of Truth Series. It contains 32 pages of Bible evidences of Christ’s second coming, and has proved to be an excellent tract for general circulation. Several hundred thousand have been sold, and excellent reports have been received of the good work it has accomplished.

It now sells for 2 cents a copy, with the usual discount to Tract Societies.

Our Paradise Home

It is simply wonderful how popular this little book has become in the short time it has existed. Almost every mail brings words of praise for it, of which the following is a fair sample:—

“We can not express too heartily our indorsement of ‘Our Paradise Home.’ We believe it will meet with even greater favor than ‘Gospel Primer,’ and be a great help to our canvassers. The message is presented in a very clear and interesting manner, and can not fail to fasten the attention, and to cause serious thought on the part of those who read it, and will create a desire to investigate further. The title is attractive, and appeals to the hearts of all; for “home” is one of the dearest words that man can know. “E. A. MERRIAM, Sec. West Mich. Conf.”

BY MRS. E. E. KELLOGG, A. M.

Superintendent of Mothers’ Work for the National W. C. T. U., Chairman of the World’s Fair Committee on Food Supplies for Michigan.

This excellent work has just been revised and greatly improved. It contains about 600 pages, printed on excellent paper, finely illustrated, and gotten out in a style at once popular, attractive, and substantial. As to its subject-matter, while it is thoroughly scientific, it is also thoroughly practical in presenting the best methods of preparing foods; and the work gives over eight hundred tested recipes for the same. The book is written in a style bright and entertaining, although concise, and is the embodied result of the patient and almost continuous research and experimentation carried on by Mrs. Kellogg during the last ten years, in the Experimental Kitchen connected with the Battle Creek Sanitarium. Price, oilcloth, $1.90.
