International Publishing Association
By T. G. Johnson
OUR building was ready, and we moved in and began our printing about February first. Besides the printing of our papers,—Christlicher Hausfreund (German weekly), Der Deutsche Arbeiter (German monthly), Evangeliets Sendebud (Danish-Norwegian weekly), Sions Vaktare (Swedish weekly),—a number of tracts have also been issued, and with the stock of foreign books which the association has purchased from the Review and Herald Publishing Company, of Battle Creek, Mich., we are now able to fill orders for our various foreign publications. However, we do not wish to be misunderstood. While the International Publishing Association will see that there is plenty of up-to-date printed matter prepared, and that all will know where to get it, yet it will take the united effort of our people to accomplish the work of reaching the foreign population in this country with our literature. The burden of our work will continue to rest where it has in the past, and while we shall be glad to fill all retail orders received for our books, tracts, and pamphlets as a result of our advertising, and while the near-by conferences containing a large foreign population may turn over some territory to the exclusive control of the association, for the training and development of workers, yet the large bulk of our foreign literature will continue to pass through the regularly established channels, our tract societies and depositories. Our English-speaking brethren and sisters, everywhere, must continue to realize the responsibility that rests upon them in supplying themselves with our foreign literature to place in the hands of those with whom they come in contact; and this is not only our duty, but ought to be considered a great privilege. Surely all among us are interested in sending missionaries to foreign lands, and anxious to hear of their success. But what is the difference between the foreigner in his own country and the one who has come to this country, at his own expense, and has been here perhaps but a short time? Should we now have less interest in him because he is right at our door? Is it not a fact that most of us fail to recognize our opportunities to labor for these? Orders have been coming in quite freely for our tracts20and papers, and some for our larger books, but a great deal more must be done. We trust in a few weeks to be able to get out an up-to-date catalogue, which is greatly needed. In the meanwhile, let us not be idle. We will call your attention to a few of our latest and leading tracts, which should be placed in the hands of the various nationalities:— We Would See Jesus, $1 per 100; The Thief on the Cross, and the Spirits in Prison, $2.50 per 100; Have Faith in God, 50 cents per 100; Without Excuse, 50 cents per 100; Way to Christ, $1.50 per 100; What Do These Things Mean? $1 per 100; Signs of the Times, $1.50 per 100; Is the End Near? $1.50 per 100; The Veil Removed, 50 cents per 100; The Prophetic Word and the Last Warning Message, $3 per 100; The Perpetuity of the Law of God, $1.50 per 100; The Fire Test, $1 per 100; Can We Know? 50 cents per 100.
