The Mental Arithmetic

By E. A. Sutherland

By PROF. E. A. SUTHERLAND, is Unexcelled for Use in Home and Church Schools
THIS work is published, not because there is a dearth of mental arithmetics, but because there is a recognized demand for text-books upon this subject which are practical and adapted to the needs of the children and youth. In imparting a knowledge of the simple branches of arithmetic, the author gives practical examples in astronomy, botany, physiology, natural history, carpentry, masonry, farming, etc. No examples referring to traffic in liquor, tobacco, tea, coffee, drugs, etc., are to be found in the book.

An Advance Move

I have had the pleasure of examining your “Mental Arithmetic for Home and Church Schools,” and do not hesitate to say that, to my mind, it represents a distinct and important advance in the method of teaching arithmetic.
DR. J. H. KELLOGG.

More Than Mere Theory

I am happy to say that I am greatly pleased with the “Mental Arithmetic for Home and Church Schools,” and shall work for its introduction wherever I may be. I believe that the publication of such books will do more for Christian education than any amount of theorizing.
PROF. C. C. LEWIS.
“The Mental Arithmetic” is a Volume of 240 pages, having 87 Lessons. Price, 65 cents.

Hypnotism—What Is It?

By Augustin J. Bourdeau

By Augustin J. Bourdeau.
WORDS OF TRUTH SERIES, No. 28.

One of the Most Timely Tracts Ever Published.

HE TRACT “HYPNOTISM—WHAT IS IT?” Gives in full the meaning of the term hypnotism, contains the history of this false science, tells what it really is, and shows the relation between hypnotism and Spiritualism—two great last-day delusions.
The following are a few of the many names under which hypnotism is presented to allure the people in these modern times: “A new revelation in self-culture,” “the triumph of modern thought,” “the philosophy of success,” “mental culture,” “personal magnetism,” “the great healer of the future,” “the key to power,” “that silent, mysterious force,” “the science of the century.”
Advertisements of hypnotism are to be found in nearly all the magazines and current literature of to-day. The arch-deceiver is working with lying powers, and wonders, knowing that he has but a short time; and, if it were possible, would deceive the very elect. He is deceiving thousands upon thousands of people by means of this modern false science.
This new tract, “Hypnotism—What Is It?” should be circulated everywhere by the tens of thousands. A copy of it should be placed in the hands of every minister, lawyer, doctor, and teacher in your neighborhood, and also in the hands of your neighbors and friends. Eternity alone will reveal the results of scattering this tract, thereby enlightening the minds of both parents and children on the subject of hypnotism.
The tract contains 48 pages, and goes easily into an ordinary six-inch envelope, the size being 3⅜ x 5⅝ inches. Large type and clear print. Price, three cents.
Place your order with your—
Tract Society; or with the Review and Herald Pub. Co., Battle Creek, Mich.; or with the Pacific Press, Oakland, Cal.

THE CANVASSING WORK

By George A. Irwin

Plans for its Consideration at the Coming General Conference
We are rapidly approaching the time of our next General Conference; hence we deem it best to announce thus early such plans as have been matured for the consideration of the more important questions that will come up for consideration. Among these questions, the canvassing work will occupy a prominent part. To place in the hands of the people our publications and periodicals containing the present truth for this time, is the most important work in which we can engage. Souls are groping in darkness, and perishing for want of the light these publications contain. In each Conference and mission field a few devoted persons are engaged in this work; but where there is now one, there should be one hundred, and we believe there would be if the importance of the subject and our individual obligation were properly discerned. This is one of the Lord’s most important instrumentalities in warning the world, and it is a work in which all may have a part. Prosperity in the canvassing work means prosperity in all departments of the work, both spiritually and financially.
Inasmuch as it has been thought best to call other important meetings prior to the assembling of the General Conference, which will require careful thought and consideration, it has been deemed best to consider the canvassing work as a part of the General Conference proper. By this arrangement, publishing houses, Conference presidents, State secretaries, canvassing agents, and delegates may all have a part in the proceedings.
To facilitate matters, the following programme of topics for consideration has been made out:—
1. The Work to Be Accomplished by the Circulation of our Literature. L. R. Conradi.
2. Canvassers Needed, and How to Secure Them. S. C. Osborne.
3. Plans of Work. N. P. Dixon.
4. Education and Training of Canvassers, in the Churches, in the Schools, in the Field. A. F. Harrison.
5. How Can Ministers and Other Conference Laborers Assist the Canvassing Work? C. McReynolds.
6. The Relation of Religious and Health Works. Is It Competition or Co-operation? A. G. Daniells.
7. Resident Canvassers and Their Work. George A. King.
8. The Sale of Trade Books. H. H. Hall.
9. Methods of Finance; Work and Compensation for the Author, Publisher, State Society, and Canvasser. W. C. White.
10. The State Agent—How Supported, and Where Shall He Spend His Time? N. P. Nelson.
11. How Shall Foreign Fields Be Pioneered? Ellery Robinson.
12. The Recruiting of Canvassers for Foreign Fields. R. B. Craig.
13. Free Literature for the Use of Canvassers. E. P. Boggs.
14. Helps and Health Journals as Auxiliaries with Larger Works. W. D. Salisbury.
A name has been assigned to each topic in order that some one may be prepared to lead out in the consideration of each particular subject, after which it is expected that there will be as full and free discussion of the question as time will permit. It is hoped that all delegates, as well as those assigned, will give time and thought to these important questions, and come prepared to give the Conference the benefit of their thought and experience in a brief and concise talk.
I would suggest that all interested in this general subject cut out this notice and preserve it for reference, as no similar announcement is likely to appear.
Inasmuch as some Conference presidents have felt that it would be a great loss to the work in their States to have their State agent gone during the entire time of the General Conference, it has been thought best to take up the canvassing work the first thing after the Conference is duly opened. By this arrangement, all agents can be free to return inside of the first week, and most agents need not be out of their field to exceed eight or ten days, including the time occupied in going and coming.
I trust that the Lord, by His Spirit, will impart light and greatly bless us in the consideration of this important branch of His work.
GEO. A. IRWIN.

THE GENERAL CONFERENCE BULLETIN

By L. A. Hoopes

The Bulletin for the fourth quarter of 1900, which completes Vol. III, has just been mailed. The first number of the new volume will be issued at the beginning of the coming session of the General Conference, during which meeting the Bulletin will be printed daily. As the making up of such a large mailing list requires considerable time, subscriptions for the new volume should be sent in as soon as possible. In the past a great many have waited until a week or two prior to the opening of the Conference before sending in their subscriptions. When a large number of subscriptions are received only a few days before the Conference convenes, it is almost impossible to get the list revised in time to insure prompt mailing of the papers; hence, in order to make sure of receiving every number of the daily Bulletin, it is advisable to send in subscriptions early. The price for two years, including the daily and quarterly issues, is seventy-five cents; for the Conference session, fifty cents. Send orders to your State tract society, or to the General Conference Bulletin, Battle Creek, Mich.
L. A. Hoopes, Sec. Gen. Conf.

A PROBLEM IN ARITHMETIC

By P. T. Magan

The Committee on the Relief of the Schools pays the Review and Herald fifteen cents per copy for the material and handling of each and every copy of “Christ’s Object Lessons” printed by that publishing house. The Review and Herald is now finishing up the eighty thousandth copy of “Christ’s Object Lessons.”
If the material in one copy of “Christ’s Object Lessons” costs fifteen cents, how much will the material in eighty thousand copies cost?
$.15 80,000 ―――――― $12,000.00
Money is coming in rapidly for the big fund for the Relief of the Schools, out of which the material charges for this book are paid; but we need much more—big gifts, middle-sized gifts, little gifts; let them all come in, brethren. Let us all do our best until all the debts are wiped out. We are making progress, but we must do much better. Those of you who can, send in five hundred dollars; those who can not do that, send in four hundred, three hundred, one hundred, fifty, twenty-five, ten, five, one dollar, or less. But let us all do our best, whatever that may be. Send your gifts to the treasurer of the Seventh-day Adventist General Conference, Battle Creek, Mich., and mark them, “For the Relief of the Schools.”
P. T. MAGAN.

VISITORS TO THE GENERAL CONFERENCE

By J. W. Collie

The Committee on Entertainment for Visitors and Delegates to the General Conference wish to answer in a general way some of the questions they are receiving. If the following lines are carefully read, no further answer will be needed:—
What will be the price of board and room per week?
Furnished rooms can be obtained for prices varying from fifty cents to $1.50 per week, according to location; board from $1.75 to $2.50 per week.
Will it be advisable to bring bedding?
Not if arrangements are made with the Committee for furnished rooms; but unfurnished rooms can be obtained at a lower rate. In this case, bedding should be brought.
Can I obtain a room near the church?
It will be impossible to furnish rooms in close proximity to the church for all who may make such requests; but as far as possible, provision will be made to accommodate those who are physically unable to walk very far.
In closing, we wish to say that inasmuch as there will be a large number in attendance at this meeting, the Committee feel free to advise that, as far as possible, children be left at home, in the care of suitable persons.
If a reply is desired when writing, please in-close stamp. J. W. COLLIE, Chairman of Com. on Entertainment.
