VALUABLE NEW BOOKS

Friends and Foes in Field and Forest

The latest juvenile book.

One of our ministers who has recently secured the book writes us, "I did not know there were so many things to be learned from bees and bugs." Another one says, "My children are reading it with the greatest delight." A union conference president writes: "I have carefully examined the book and consider it a valuable addition to our growing list of splendid young people's books. It will awaken and deepen interest in the lower forms of life and enable the reader to appreciate in a much greater degree the wonderful works of the Creator. I can heartily recommend it to our youth as a book of absorbing interest and of great educational value." It is a most charmingly written book, and will interest every young person, and if we may judge from the words of appreciation from some of our older workers who have had the privilege of reading it, the older ones, as well as the young people, will be interested in it.

This book describes the various insects and their habits, and is fully illustrated.

"God help the boy that never sees The butterflies, the birds, the bees, Nor hears the music of the breeze When zephyrs soft are blowing."

The book will be a great help in teaching the children to see the power of God displayed in nature, and will give them a deeper realization of his greatness and goodness. One can fully appreciate the book only by seeing and reading it. It contains 248 pages; cloth binding, $1.00.

Blessed Be Drudgery

This little book was brought out by the Review and Herald Publishing Association just at Christmas time. The employees, who had heard portions of it read in manuscript, were so pleased with the book that they sent out many copies as Christmas gifts to their friends.

The book consists of two essays written by William C. Gannett,—one entitled "Blessed Be Drudgery," and the other, "A Cup of Cold Water." The thought of the booklet is the real heart culture which comes from true service. Even the common things which we do, perhaps many times a day, if done from the right motive and to the best of our ability, ennoble and uplift.

"Our prime elements are due to our drudgery. . . . the fundamentals that underlie all fineness, and without which no other culture worth the winning is even possible. These for instance: . . . power of attention, power of industry, promptitude in beginning work, method and accuracy and dispatch in doing work, perseverance, courage before difficulties, cheer under straining burdens, self-control and self-denial and temperance. These are the prime qualities; these are the fundamentals."

This book is printed from new type, each page surrounded by a tint border. It is neatly bound in cloth; price, 50 cents.

The Mystery Unfolded

This is a new book, written by Elder L. R. Conradi. It was first published in German about two years ago. It has since been translated into several languages, and has recently been issued in English by the International Tract Society of London.

Knowing many of our people would greatly appreciate having this work by Elder Conradi, we have imported a considerable quantity of printed sheets, and are now prepared to supply this book. It deals principally with the two great mysteries, the mystery of iniquity and the mystery of godliness. It spreads before the reader a brief yet comprehensive statement of God's plan for the salvation of man as revealed in the Scriptures, and especially in the prophetic books of the Bible, embracing the entire period of the reign of sin from paradise lost to paradise restored.

This book contains 350 pages, and will be sold in cloth binding for $1.25.
