The Abiding Spirit

BY MRS. S. M. I. HENRY

An exceedingly helpful work, treating upon the presence, power, and ministry of the Holy Spirit, as manifested in the most common, material things, and as needed for the performance of the most simple duties.

It sets forth the constant presence of the one only Spirit as the condition of existence, and a healthy and successful life as dependent upon the intelligent recognition of this presence, and on the proper adjustment of everything, physical and mental, to this power.

The larger proportion of common religious perplexities are carefully outlined, and the simple way revealed for them, in the place of their darkness.

The purpose of the book is to show the power of the Holy Spirit, and its relation to the human soul. The spirit of the work is excellent, and it should be in every home. It is beautifully bound in cloth; gold stamped, with gilt edges, 75 cents; in plain cloth, 40 cents.

Easy Steps in the Bible Story

This is the only book we have for children that gives the story of the Bible in the order of inspiration. The stories of the Bible from creation to Sinai are given in the same order of the Bible, but told in a simple, interesting way, which impresses the children. As the child grows up and reads the same scriptures in the Bible, the order is not disturbed, and the facts are not confused. The Biblical association of facts and subjects is of more importance than many appreciate. This is one of the features of Bell’s Series of Sabbath-school Lessons that have rendered it so successful for the past twenty years. “Easy Steps in the Bible Story” is a book on the right line, and one that lays a good foundation for a thorough, connected knowledge of the Scriptures. It is the best Bible book for children—a child’s Bible in simple form. The children themselves like it. This is its best recommendation. It ought to be in every home where there are children. Prices, 25 and 50 cents.

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.” It is also a good reader to follow the “Bible Reader” in the home and church schools.

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.

What and How to Answer

An Eight-Page Tract, Words of Truth Series, No. 41

BY MRS. S. M. I. HENRY

A tract admirably adapted for answering the questions invariably asked by all children about the origin of life. It gives excellent suggestions to parents relative to what and how to answer these questions, and permits no shadow of deception or evil to rest upon the subject. Written in a forcible, chaste, and gentle manner. Nothing could be more simply wrought out for the perfect initiation and enlightenment of the inquiring child. Every one who has to do with the education of children should have this little tract. “Worth its weight in gold.” Price, 50 cents a hundred.

“At the Door”

The new art booklet on prophecy fulfilled. A brief, artistic, forcible, five-minute outline history of the world, foretold by Christ, illustrated by fifty engravings selected and arranged with historical marginal notes and comments by F. E. Belden, showing the fulfilment of every prophecy in Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21, except the final act.

Christ’s own words are in large type above and below the engravings. He foretells; the pictures answer, Fulfilled, from his time to ours; from Vesuvius and Pompeii, A. D. 79, to Mt. Pelee and Saint Pierre of to-day; from the destruction of Jerusalem, A. D. 70, to the latest political, social, and religious disturbances.

The new, “Diagram of the Dark Ages, and the Dark Day” is the best summary of the subject ever presented. The booklet is printed in colors, and sells at sight. The busiest man stops to look. It smiles, leads, teaches, convicts. It “casts up the highway,” and truth rides into the soul. “Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.” Beauty secures attention; brevity encourages it; arrangement controls it; directness adds power to the truth.

The letter of Oct. 8, 1903, to the author, from the celebrated astronomer, Prof. A. C. Young, of Princeton, N. J., will interest you on the subject of meteoric showers. New truth here.

The opinions of General Nelson A. Miles, Bishop Newman, Dr. Lyman Abbott, the New York Christian Advocate, Archdeacon Farrar, Dr. Eyton, Cardinal Gibbons, etc., may surprise you.

The great Bible expositor, Uriah Smith, and other good judges, have declared this to be the briefest, most artistic, and forcible treatise ever published on this subject. It introduces the great themes of truth for to-day.

Price, 15 cents; 25 cents in heavy covers, enameled paper, silk cord. In lots of ten, 40 per cent discount, or 9 and 15 cents, respectively. A valuable present. Better still, sell it. Poor plan to give away. Attractive truth sells. Try it quick. Order of the State Tract Societies.

Patriarchs and Prophets

An excellent and authentic commentary on Biblical subjects from Adam to the close of the reign of David. Especially helpful in the study of the present International Sunday-school Lessons, and also an unerring counselor in the study of the Old Testament Scriptures.

Thousands of these books have been sold to Sunday-school superintendents and teachers during the past two years, since the International Lessons have been upon the Old Testament history, and the following unsolicited testimonial from a Sunday-school teacher is a fair sample of the many which are coming to the publishers of this appreciated book:—

“I have a copy of ‘Patriarchs and Prophets,’ and it has been a source of wonderful information to me during the past year. It has proved to be a key that has unlocked many, many Scriptures, and unfolded them, and made them plain and comprehensive. I found it of great assistance in preparing the Sunday-school lessons all last year, when they were in the Old Testament. I am very thankful for its great help. “L. D. SMITH, Biggs, Mo.”

Copies of this book can be furnished in the following bindings: cloth, gilt edges, $2.75; library, $3; full morocco, $4.50.

The Bible Text-Book

BY ELDER O. A. JOHNSON

A compendium of Bible subjects bound in a neat and attractive form, and easy to carry in the vest or coat pocket.

The book contains forty-nine tersely written Bible readings on as many different subjects.

Our Paradise Home

The fourth edition of 10,000 each is now ordered. The third edition is nearly all gone.

This little messenger is now five months old, and there have been 30,000 copies sold. It is a little book which is full of the message, and its general topics cover many of the cardinal principles of the message for this time. These are made so plain and impressive that readers can easily understand them, and they lead to a desire for a fuller study of the prophecies which teach the coming of the Lord.

Unsolicited testimonials for this book have become too numerous for us to attempt to publish them.

This book is of a nature that any individual can sell it. A person does not have to be an experienced canvasser in order to place this book in the homes of the people.

It contains 128 pages, is nicely illustrated with new pictures made especially for the book; cloth-bound, 50 cents; board, 25 cents.
