A RECRUITING AGENT.

By T. E. Bowen

THE new book, “Marvel of Nations,” seems to have appeared again upon the field at the right time. This book has the message ring, and will no doubt be used by the Lord in bringing many to the truth. It was one of the first books issued in subscription form, and it seems providential that just at this time it again appears to aid in the work of the message. It has awakened the good old-time canvassing zeal; and agents, who to us are new, but in reality are some of the best-of-the-day men, are coming to the rescue by again going to work. This is encouraging to all.
T. E. BOWEN, Sec. N. Y. Tract Society.
Wherever this book is used, there is a revival of the old-time energy in the work. It contains the special message for this time, which is manifest through its power to stimulate believers and arrest the attention of the public. Providence has associated the history of this nation with the “Third Angel’s Message,” and the construction of “Marvel of Nations” is in harmony with God’s plans of presenting this message. It, therefore, has the elements of divine power in it, and cannot fail to accomplish a good work wherever it is placed.
We want a thousand faithful, energetic canvassers for this book at once. Order prospectus and books of your State Tract Society. Full-book prospectus, 60 cts., postpaid. The book itself sells for $1.25 and $1.50. Fifty per cent discount allowed agents.

THE MASTER'S GREATEST MONOSYLLABLES.

Our New Holiday Book.

This is a sparkling volume of 132 pages, based on our Lord's use of the monosyllables, “COME,” “GO,” “DO,” and “LO.” All who examined the author's tentative edition bestow upon it unstinted praise. Indeed, the book is a spiritual feast of four courses (there are just four divisions of the work, with a dozen subsections), and the reader's interest will never flag from title-page to finis.
This little treatise on the Master's Greatest Monosyllables is perfectly calculated to turn the thoughts of the reader heavenward. It is brimful of incident, logic, Scripture texts, and comfort; in the last respect like the present that Jacob sent to Pharaoh: “A little balm, and a little honey, spices, and myrrh, nuts, and almonds.” Gen. 43:11. No one can read this book without having his spirit quickened in the right direction. There is not a needless sentence between the covers, and the whole is uplifting, inspiring, and encouraging. It is a good book to put into the hands of the discouraged or unconverted.
Precious little monograph! Let it go forth to do work for the Master.

Mission Needs and the Week of Prayer.

By W. A. Spicer

THE blessings of the Week of Prayer, now approaching, are not to be sought for ourselves alone. The blessing received and passed on to others is the blessing really retained. The psalmist sets the model for the missionary prayer: “God be merciful unto us, and bless us; and cause His face to shine upon us; that thy way may be known upon earth, thy saving health among all nations.” The gifts from heaven showered upon this people on this occasion are to be passed on in a world-wide ministry of blessing to others.
The annual offering, which has always been a feature of the prayer season, ought this year to be made a matter of special preparation. The growing demands of the mission fields appeal as never before. We have only to rise up in the strength of God and go out into every corner of the earth with the truth, and the work will be finished and cut short in righteousness. Why wander longer in the wilderness of this world, talking about the time when the message will be preached in all nations, and we shall enter the promised land? Why not throw everything we have, as one people, into this work, and let God finish it? When the little lad gave to Christ all the loaves and fishes that he had, small as the store was, the hungry multitude was soon fed. In all the earth the souls for whose conversion the coming kingdom is waiting are hungering for the truth. When we give all that we have received from God, of life and strength and means, the hungry multitude will quickly be fed with the bread of life. There is inspiration in a great work when God sets us the task.
The Mission Board brethren, at the recent council, repeatedly declared that one hundred thousand dollars was none too much to expect from the annual offering if the crying demands of the fields for immediate forward moves are to be responded to. Why not aim at this figure, more than a trebling of former Week-of-Prayer offerings? The tide of missionary interest is rising. More was given for the work abroad in the three quarters of this year than in any full year heretofore. God’s Spirit is clearly indicating the line of advance that is quickly to bear the witness to all. He has prepared the fields. From all the four quarters of the earth our brethren send word of open doors, and appeal for workers and means. What answer will our people send to the fields and up to heaven this coming Week of Prayer? Why not the hundred thousand dollars, laid upon the altar of the world’s need?
Rally every believer in our ranks and all the children to prepare for a splendid thankoffering. The Bible says that the liberal soul deviseth liberal things. Let us, out of loving hearts, devise in every way that the Spirit of God may suggest, to give tangible evidence that we do love God’s cause supremely, and that we are investing in it as the one interest of our lives.
W. A. SPICER, Sec. Mission Board.

An Interesting Sketch.

By Editor

NEXT week we shall print in this paper a most interesting paper by Brother George W. Amadon, which was read by him during the sessions of the recent Battle Creek Sabbath-school Convention held in this city, October 18 and 19. The title of this article is “A Sketch of the Battle Creek Sabbath-school from Its Commencement to the Present Time.” This will be followed by other papers of interest relating to Sabbath-school work. All who are engaged in this department of the Lord’s work will wish to read these articles.
The editors are endeavoring to fill the REVIEW full of matters of vital interest to every Seventh-day Adventist church-member, and desire the co-operation of every subscriber in their efforts to increase the circulation of the paper. Can you not help this good work forward by securing at least one new subscription from one of your neighbors?

The Tabernacle Pulpit.

By A. J. B.

The Sabbath services of the 16th inst. were devoted to the interests of our Battle Creek church school. Dr. J. H. Kellogg gave a forty-five minute talk to the one hundred and forty children composing the school, and by means of questions, and answers by the children, succeeded remarkably well in keeping their attention during the entire time. The subject of the talk was the marvelous power of God manifested in the sunlight and gravitation. The large audience of adults present were as deeply interested as the children themselves. The speaker was assisted in the services by Elders I. D. Van Horn, S. H. Lane, and H. M. Mitchell. Musical selections were rendered by both the children and the choir.
The church-school work is carried on in the Tabernacle vestries, the class work being conducted by seven teachers, assisted by Miss Grace E. Amadon, who is in charge. That the work done in this school is first-class was shown by the prompt, intelligent, and philosophical answers given by the children to the speaker of the day, as he propounded to them questions concerning nature which would puzzle many older persons. A. J. B.

Vivisection Again.

SISTER SOPHIA B. BRUNSON, now attending the Ohio University, Columbus, Ohio, writes us, November 1:—
“44 BUTTLES AVE., COLUMBUS, OHIO.—I was so profoundly impressed by the article on vivisection, by Canon Wilberforce, which was published October 15 in the REVIEW AND HERALD, that I would like to scatter it broadcast. I could easily use one hundred copies of the paper. I would like to give one to each professor and student of the Ohio Medical University, which I am now attending; and also to the members of the W. C. T. U. in Columbus. But I do not suppose I could obtain so many copies. However, if you have them, send me twenty-five copies, and also the bill for the same.” Although we printed an extra supply of this, the seventy-five copies sent to Sister Brunson practically exhausts the remainder of the edition. The very few copies that remain will be furnished for distribution, at 3 cents each.

“The Scriptural Foundation of Science.”

THIS late work, by L. A. Reed, has already received a brief notice, with a promise of a further notice. This we are now prepared to give. Reference was made to the neat outside appearance of the body; it is just as pleasing inside as outside. As indicated by the title, all true science has its foundation in the Scriptures. A knowledge of this fact directs one’s mind to the true source of right information, and enables one to study more understandingly. The Introduction sets forth the treasures of wisdom as found in the word of God. There is one chapter which particularly impressed us. It is entitled “The Gospel of Despair,” and sets forth the blank despair to which the deductions of science point us, and suggest no avenue of hope. In contrast with this, how radiant and magnificent is the hope held out in the Scriptures, backed up by the displays of His wondrous power as manifested in creation. The study of this work will be of immense advantage. Price, of the book, postpaid, 75 cts.—not 50 cts., as previously stated. All take notice.

November Advocate.

By Editor

The November issue of the Advocate of Christian Education is a Mothers’ Number. Its pages are filled with matter which should be read by every Christian parent. Mothers are anxious to know how to educate their children; they desire to know how to co-operate with the church-school teacher; the Church wishes to see greater results from its Sabbath-school. These questions are presented in the columns of the November Advocate. This matter will interest any mother. See that your neighbors are supplied with a copy.
One mother who is working for children writes: “Thanks for the club of Advocates. They have been a feast of fat things to many precious souls.” Price, 5 cents for a single copy. In clubs of 10 or more, 4 cents apiece. Address the Advocate, Berrien Springs, Mich.

You have reached the end of this edition.
