The following letter is a sample of those received at our office concerning that remarkable book, "Power for Witnessing." "PACIFIC PRESS PUBLISHING COMPANY,
"Oakland, Cal.
"Dear Friends: I have been reading 'POWER FOR WITNESSING,' by A. F. Ballenger, and although I have not yet completed it I am satisfied that it is the book for this time. I am anxious to canvass this city for it as soon as I can. I have done some canvassing for the SIGNS, and expect to keep on doing what I can in that direction. I do not know what this book costs or what terms you can allow to canvassers, but would like a copy at once with which to work. I have faith in the book selling, for we can not afford to be without it. I believe the Lord wishes me to do this. Yours very truly," We have informed this party that the prices are 75 cents in cloth and 25 cents in paper. Also that there is a discount of 40 per cent to those who will take up such a canvass as the one she has in mind. Dear reader, have you read this wonderful book? If not, we earnestly advise you to do so. If you have, you will probably be just as anxious to have others read it as she is. We will soon have a stock of the booklet "AT THE DOOR." Price in paper is 15c; in board, 25c. "Testimony for the Church," Volume 8, will be ready for our patrons in a few weeks. Price will be 75c in cloth, and $1.25 in limp leather. We are resetting "Early Writings," as the old plates have been too often used to make another edition from them advisable. A limp leather edition at $1.25 will be bound up in addition to the regular cloth style. Such is the title of a beautiful booklet we are publishing. It will help missionaries to do effective work around home. Ask for it with a two-cent stamp. Following are the titles and prices of our new tracts:
