"APPLES OF GOLD LIBRARY."

By Editor

Envelope Series.

THIS is the title of a little monthly publication recently started by the Pacific Press Publishing Co., and is designed especially for use in personal correspondence. Each number will contain from four to eight pages of a size convenient to go into a number six envelope without folding. It is printed on thin super-calendered paper, and one or two numbers can be put in with an ordinary letter without increasing the postage.

It is the object of the publishers to present in this Library the leading truths, in a short, attractive style, that will at once arrest the attention, and create a favorable impression and a desire to read more. The themes presented will embrace "The Love of God," "Justification by Faith," "Christ Our Righteousness," and kindred subjects.

It is not intended that these tracts shall take the place of our Bible Students' Library, or any other publication, but they are to be used in personal correspondence. A package should be kept on hand, and when writing to a friend, or any person, just inclose one or more of these tracts. It will not usually add to the postage, and in doing this work we shall be "sowing beside all waters."

We have a membership of say 40,000. Allowing that each person writes only one letter each week, it makes over two million letters per year. If each one of these letters contained a tract, what a vast amount of good might be accomplished!

We feel confident that our friends everywhere will avail themselves of this simple method of spreading the gospel message.

The subscription price has been placed at 10 cents per year, postpaid.

These tracts are published in Library style in order to secure the pound rate of postage. The first five numbers are now ready and bear the following titles:— No. 1.—Looking unto Jesus. No. 2.—The Christian's Privilege. No. 3.—The Sure Promises of God. No. 4.—How to Get Knowledge. No. 5.—The Church and the World.

These will be sent to any address at the rate of 50 cents per hundred, $4.00 per thousand, postpaid. Sample copies free.
