The Million-Tongued Press

THE printing-press is described as "million-tongued," because the millions of pages of literature which are duplicated by the press are sent out into all the world to proclaim the gospel. How many such tongues will proclaim the third angel's message in the community where you live during the present winter? You have prayed for a minister to be sent to preach the truth in your community. Have you done all you could to spread a knowledge of the truth, and thus prepare the way for the living preacher? In making provisions for your own reading and for literature to sell and to loan to your neighbors, you should take into consideration the following books, several of which have been recently published or revised:—

"Capital and Labor"

This book, which has just come from the press, should be sold or loaned to every man in your community who would naturally be interested in this question. Special effort should be made to place it in the hands of members of labor unions and managers of factories and other large business concerns. This theme in which they are vitally interested may prove the entering wedge by which the third angel's message will reach them. The book contains 208 pages; price, 75 cents.

"History of the Sabbath"

This revised Andrews-Conradi edition is a mine of useful information on the Sabbath question, both from the Bible and from history, and covers the various steps by which the change from the seventh day to the first day was made. Cloth, 800 pages, $1.50; India paper edition, flexible leather binding, $2.50.

"Easy Steps in the Bible Story"

The lives of children are very largely molded by the books they read. This book presents the stories of the Bible in simple, charming language, beautifully illustrated. No book we publish would perhaps bring greater joy or profit to a child than this one, and what is charming for children is often most interesting for older people; for "men are only boys grown tall." Cloth binding, 600 pages, $3.00.

"The Printing-Press and the Gospel"

This is a book for workers, though every one should have it; for it will help to make workers of those who are idle. It is prepared especially,—
  1. For ministers and teachers.
  2. For general and field agents.
  3. For colporteurs.
  4. For students in our schools.
  5. For those who are planning to enter the colporteur work.
