“CHRIST’S OBJECT LESSONS.”
By George A. Irwin
A very profitable meeting was held in the interest of this book and the purpose for which it was given, on the Michigan camp-ground, the morning of September 6. Professor Magan occupied the time with well-chosen and profitable thoughts drawn from the Old Testament Scriptures, which were indeed applicable to our time and the work before us, after which he read some selections from the Testimonies in reference to the gift, “Christ’s Object Lessons,” and the importance of all making sacrifice, that the great object sought might be attained, and each receive a blessing. The Spirit of God witnessed its approval of the talk, in the spirit of liberality that came into the meeting, as evidenced in the list of contributions and pledges in the next column. Besides these, there were over seven hundred copies of the book sold. It is expected that these efforts at the camp-meetings will be only the beginning of a united movement to be taken up by our churches and people in general when the book is fully upon the market. A blessing is pronounced upon each person who does what he can in forwarding this plan to relieve us of the indebtedness upon our schools. May the good work begun in the Michigan Conference go on, until many thousand copies of this valuable book shall be put into the homes of the people.
