SUGGESTIONS

From Our Book and Periodical Department

TWO BOOKS FOR YOUNG MEN

THE following quotation is from the preface of "TESTIMONIES FOR THE CHURCH," Volume 8:—

"But few are familiar with the testimonies—the instructions, the warnings, and the great encouragements—given during the last fifteen years to the leading men in our conferences and institutions. For this reason it is now necessary to publish many of these testimonies for the benefit of all the church, and especially for the guidance of our younger ministers, physicians, conference officers, and managers of institutions. These young men must come forward in large numbers to bear the burdens of the work; they will be called to pass over the same ground, and to meet the same problems and difficulties, as did those to whom the messages of instruction were first given; therefore the counsels addressed to the pioneers in the work are now published for the guidance and encouragement of these younger co-laborers."

We are pleased to say that the young men are eagerly securing and studying it. As an indication of such interest we might add that, although it has been published a little over two months, the first edition of five thousand has been sold, and another edition is being called for. We would suggest to young men the advisability of purchasing the thin paper, limp leather edition, the price of which is $1.25.

LIVES OF GREAT MEN

Young men are always interested in how successful men succeeded. They want to know what temptations they met, how they overcame them; the difficulties they encountered, and how they used them as stepping stones to still greater things. The book "EDUCATION" takes up, among other important things, the lives of such prominent Bible characters as Joseph, Daniel, Jacob, Elijah, Solomon, and others. In connection with this there is an exceedingly interesting chapter on "Business Principles and Methods." There are also chapters devoted to the Master Teacher and illustrations of His methods of work.

The writer of this notice has read both "TESTIMONIES FOR THE CHURCH" Volume 8, and "EDUCATION," and feels to earnestly recommend them to every young man who is desirous of making the most of his opportunities. The price of "EDUCATION" in full leather binding is $2.00.

Of Interest to Church Officers

At the recent meeting of the General Conference Publication Committee, action was taken recommending a set of books for Church Librarians. The series consists of a

LIBRARIAN'S RECORD . . . . . . . . . . . . .$0 35 LIBRARIAN'S ORDER BOOK . . . . . . . . . . 10 LIBRARIAN'S QUARTERLY REPORT, per doz. . . 10

The Record contains full instruction to the Librarian, has 19 pages ruled for cash account, 7 pages devoted to a new but very simple system of keeping account of periodicals, 24 individual ledger titles, two year's summary of Librarian's Quarterly Report, 7 pages ruled for accounts with depository, 4 pages for general memorandum. Instead of being bound in expensive cloth covers it has a press board cover, which may be rolled up if necessary.

The order blank is in duplicate with carbon-paper attached, so that the Librarian may keep copy of all orders sent.

We believe this series will recommend itself to those who wish to carry on their church missionary work in a simple, inexpensive, yet business-like manner.

The Industrial Conflict in the Light of Revelation

This series of articles by Prof. G. W. Rine, which is now appearing in the SIGNS OF THE TIMES, is attracting considerable attention. A limited number of extra copies of the issue of May 18th, which contained the first in the series, have been printed, and so long as possible all orders will be commenced with that number. It is a series well calculated to interest even those who have already taken their stand on one side or the other of the problem. It certainly presents a rare opportunity to our readers to solicit subscriptions for the paper. The series will run about three months. The subscription price will be 40 cents for that time.
