Our Paradise Home

Where will it be? What will it be? When will it be? These are some of the questions concerning which there are many speculative theories.

But our all-wise heavenly Father has not left us in darkness and doubt regarding the future, and our eternal home. He knew that we would be anxious to know something about it, and so He has satisfied our curiosity by giving us, in the Bible, some glimpses of the Goodly Land.

Thinking that we might not be able to find all these interesting things, our good Brother Lane has gleaned out the items and put them into a book, so that we may read them in connected form. He gives us some fine pictures, too.

Price in board cover, 25 cents; cloth, 50 cents.

The House We Live In

Not the house of wood, brick, or stone that we may chance to be living in, but a story about the human body house.

Did you ever stop to think that your body is constructed something like a house? that it has a frame; is partitioned off into rooms or apartments; has walls, windows, halls, a kitchen, eating-room, bath, music-room, heating plant, pumping engine, telephone, servants, etc.?

Mrs. E. W. Farnsworth has discovered a great many interesting comparisons like these, and in telling us about them gives many valuable hints on the physiology of the body, and the best material to use in making it grow up strong, and keeping the various parts in good repair. She also tells us about the cruel thieves and murderers that often break in to steal and destroy, so that we may keep good locks on our doors and windows to protect us.

All the children will want to read this book anyway, and maybe some of the older ones. It contains 200 pages, with pictures on every page. Price in cloth, 75 cents.

Things Foretold

The world is full of sorcerers, mediums, and fortune-tellers of various grades, and they are reaping rich harvests, too, because people are curious to know what the future has in store for them. But far better is it to appeal to the sure Word of prophecy for guidance and counsel, for it sheds the strong light of Heaven on human affairs and clears up the mysteries of the future.

In "Things Foretold" we find the prophetic history of the world told so clearly and simply that even the children can understand. Events are pointed out that have already taken place; others that concern us just now; and still others that clear up the uncertainty of the future.

Besides this important feature, the children will be much interested in the stories of Daniel and his fellow-captives in the land of Babylon, and enjoy the nice pictures which the book contains.

112 pages; 21 chapters. Price 50 cents.

Uncle Ben's Cobblestones

Uncle Ben is a real pleasant old gentleman, and one the children around home all like because he knows how to tell just the very best kind of stories.

In some way Uncle Ben has found out that all the little boys and girls like to hear stories, too, and he would like very much to go around and visit you all, but that would take too long, and some of you would get tired waiting. So in place of a personal visit, Uncle Ben has decided to print his stories in book form so that you may all have them right away.

He tells you about very common things, such as air, water, sunshine, fire, smoke, glass, coal, salt, paper, matches, etc., but he tells so many remarkable things about how they are made, and what they are made of, that you begin to wonder if they are really the things that you have been using every day. Uncle Ben is a good man, too, and so, of course, weaves in little lessons of truth that will help you to grow up and be good and kind, too.

You would give one cent, and more, too, if you had it, wouldn't you, to hear a good story? Well, try Uncle Ben, he gives you more than 200 pages of stories, and about twice that number of pictures for only 75 cents.

NOTE.—After you have read the descriptions of the foregoing books, we feel sure that you will not only want to read them yourself but will want to sell some of them around home. All such should send for our "Home Worker's List," which gives a full list of this line of books, the commission you make, and how to begin work. Free on application.
