An unusual chance to make money and to do good is now open to a few energetic men who will enter at once upon the work of canvassing for the "Home Hand-book of Hygiene and Medicine," the latest popular medical work published, and, according to present prospects, destined to be the most popular. Agents now canvassing for it in the East are doing remarkably well. One man took twenty-six orders the first eight days. A lady canvasser took twenty-three orders in six days. The same agent one day obtained eight subscribers in seven hours. Agents of much experience in good territory can do even better, and although the work has just begun on the Coast, agents are doing well.
A liberal commission is given according to the amount of work done. Those desiring to engage in this work should correspond at once with the Pacific Press, Oakland, Cal., giving particulars as to the experience they have had in canvassing, the territory desired, and when not personally acquainted with us, two or three good references should be given.

Life Belongs to Mankind
By Phillips Brooks
No man has come to true greatness who has not felt, in some degree, that his life belongs to his race, and that what God gives him, he gives him for mankind.—Phillips Brooks.
