Marvel of Nations

In the German, Danish, and Swedish Languages

These books have just been issued. They are fresh from the press. They are up to date in every particular. The Editor of the Sions Väktare, the Swedish paper, says the Swedish “Marvel of Nations” is one of the finest books in that language, in both the construction and the contents. The German and Danish editions are also of a high grade, both in mechanical construction and in the translation. Our foreign laborers can be assured that these books rank high among American translations; and the subject matter, being of great importance, and providentially interwoven with the history of this country, renders these books interesting and attractive to our American people, and especially so to those who have recently come to this country, and who desire to know more of the history of the nation. The principal object of the book is not to call the attention to the historical past, but to the Scriptural future of this nation, and through the prophecies connected with this country to the final termination of all earthly governments, and the setting up of the kingdom of God.

The foreign people in America have never had the privilege of reading the prophetic history of this nation in their own languages, and as the Biblical future of this nation is associated with its early and present history, and as all people in this country are easily interested in the prosperity and growth of this nation, it is a very easy matter to interest them in this message-bearing volume.

Consecrated men and women are needed to solicit for these foreign books while they are new. Who will respond to this need?

The prospectus for each of these languages is composed of a full book in the English language, with sample pages of the foreign languages bound in. This prospectus sells for 60 cents, postpaid. The book retails at $1.25 and $1.50 in all the languages.

A Rare Opportunity

Beginning July 6 and continuing through the remainder of the year, the entire Bible-studying people in the principal nations of the world will study the Exodus, the Sanctuary, and the general history of the children of Israel; and, inasmuch as the author of that excellent book, “Patriarchs and Prophets,” devotes more than half of its rare subject matter to the consideration of these subjects; and as it is conceded by all who know the book, to be the best commentary extant on the Old Testament Scriptures; and especially upon the history of Israel, the immediate future will be an unusually favorable time to introduce this book in the homes of all the people who study the International Sunday School Lessons.

It is published in the English, Danish-Norwegian, Swedish, German, and Holland languages. There is not a book published by our denomination that all nationalities will read with as much profit, at this time, as this excellent work. Diligent effort, therefore, should be put forth in behalf of its circulation now while the circumstances are favorable. In all the languages the book sells at retail as follows: cloth, plain edges, $2.25; cloth, gilt edges, $2.75; library, $3; full morocco, $4.50.

Something Special

A book, and the only one of the kind, for our Swedish neighbors. The title “Health Manual” suggests the nature of this practical book. In the main, this Swedish Manual is a translation of that well-known book by Dr. J. H. Kellogg, the “Household Manual.” The translation has been made by Dr. P. A. Levin, and it is a good one.

The following chapter headings will give some idea of what the book contains:—

Domestic Hygiene; Foods and Drinks; The Hygienic System; Health; Drugs Kill, Nature Cures; Simple Remedies for Common Diseases; Accidents and Emergencies; Baths, Packs, Fomentations, etc.; Useful Hints and Recipes; Recipes for Healthful Food; Health and Diseases of Women, etc.

This is the general scope of the “Health Manual.” Under each of these headings are many subheadings and topics too numerous to mention. It is the only book of its kind published in the Swedish language, and should be in every Swedish home.

On account of having an over stock of this book on hand, the price has been greatly reduced. The regular price is $1, and it is well worth it. It is now offered for 20 cents.
