the Outlook Number of the Signs of the Times, and therefore we know and can certify that it is fully up to all the expectations that any could have of it.

Power for Witnessing
MORE than twelve hundred copies of “Power for Witnessing” were ordered before the book was off the press. If twelve hundred thousand copies were sold since, it would do only good; for no book better than this was ever published on the subject of the Holy Spirit — the best of all subjects. Be sure to get that book. Price, 75 cents. Pacific Press, Oakland, Cal.; and Review and Herald, Battle Creek, Mich.

“CHRIST’S OBJECT LESSONS.”
By P. T. Magan
Sister White’s new book, “Christ’s Object Lessons,” is now on the market, and we hope that all our brethren and sisters who have ordered copies in advance will pay for them immediately, sending the money to their tract society secretaries. Over twenty thousand copies have been sold in advance. We feel that these pledges to take the books were made to the Lord, and not to us; they are sacred, and we believe our brethren regard them so. Now, brethren and sisters, crowd in the money, and crowd out the books. They will do an immense amount of good to all who read them.
Some are asking for discounts. All who bought the books in advance will get them at the prices at which they were promised; but from now on there is only one price on the book—one dollar and twenty-five cents ($1.25), straight, to everybody. We believe that all our brethren will be glad of this, as the book is a book of sacrifice, and all the money in it goes to the RELIEF OF THE SCHOOLS.
Because these books are a gift, we can not afford to sell them for any figure that anyone may have a mind to give. This would spoil all the good spirit in the movement. Let us all do our utmost in this effort, that we may speedily free our schools from debt, and sing the glad song of jubilee. P. T. Magan.
Catholic Federation
As to the matter of Catholic federation, the Catholic Mirror, November 3, cites the leader of the Centrist movement and party in Germany, and says: “Windthorst was a devout Catholic before he was a great leader of the Centrist party. As a statesman and political leader of eminent ability he is to be admired; as a pious, faithful Christian he is to be commended as an example to every Catholic youth. . . . The securing of our rights, civil and religious, whenever it shall be seen that we are denied them, will lie within the province of a Catholic federation of the citizens of the country.”
THE WEEK OF PRAYER.
By George A. Irwin
DECEMBER 22–29 has been set apart as the most appropriate time for so important a gathering of God’s people. It would be pleasing to the Lord if all would begin at once to plan their work so that all, or at least a very large portion, of this time may be given to seeking the Lord, to the study of his word, and the cultivation of the spiritual part of our being. We are so prone to let the “cares of this life” absorb our attention, to the exclusion of things eternal, that there is not one of us but needs the spiritual uplift that such a meeting is designed to give, and will give if entered into in a spirit of earnestness. Let us begin now to recount the mercies and blessings we have received from the hand of our Heavenly Father during the year, and plan to give a generous thank-offering in return. Let our thoughts be upon the cause of God, and let it be the recipient of our gifts, rather than friends or relatives who are already supplied with the good things of this life.
The usual helps in the form of readings have been prepared for this occasion, and will be sent out in ample time to reach the most remote parts of the field. Other articles on this subject will follow, which I trust will be carefully read. GEO. A. IRWIN.
