Christ’s Object Lessons Reaches 50,000 Copies

By Editor

OCT. 15, 1900, the Manufacturing department of the Review and Herald delivered the first copy of “Christ’s Object Lessons.” By the end of this week the 50,000th copy of the book will have been delivered by the presses, ready for shipment. Every one of these books is already sold.

So far as we know, it stands as a fact that the Review and Herald has sold a larger number of “Christ’s Object Lessons,” in a given space of time, than of any other book ever published in the history of the institution. This is certainly encouraging, and shows that God is moving upon the hearts of the people to roll back the reproach which has been so long resting upon our schools.

THE RELIEF OF THE SCHOOLS Committee must pay the Review and Herald $7,500 for the material in these, plus the boxing, cartage, and freight to the tract societies, and we plead with those of our brethren whom God has blessed with money, to help us with liberal contributions. Watch the reports closely each week in the RELIEF OF THE SCHOOLS department of this paper, and let us keep giving and paying until all our debts have been wiped out.

Send all remittances to H. M. Mitchell, treasurer of the General Conference Association, Battle Creek, Mich.

NEXT WEEK

There will be printed in the REVIEW AND HERALD one of the most interesting articles to Seventh-day Adventists that ever appeared. Now open wide your eyes, and watch.

Winter Announcement of Battle Creek College

THE Winter Announcement of the Battle Creek College is before us, and contains much valuable information to those who are interested in Christian education.

The winter term opens December 19. Mature persons who are contemplating entering the ministry, teaching, canvassing, engaging in commercial or medical missionary work, music, etc., should realize that every effort is being made by the Battle Creek College to give them the preparation that the Lord has called for.

As the college is doing its part, the church-members should arouse to do theirs. “If our church-members were awake, they would multiply their resources; they would send men and women to our schools, not to go through a long course of study, but to learn quickly, and go out into the field.”

“The churches have a part to act. They should see that those who ought to receive its benefits attend the school.”

Parents, and people all, please awake to the time, and send the young people to school. And where you can not send the young people themselves, be sure to send their names: that you can do. Reading-matter will be sent to every person who should attend the school, provided the names of these persons are sent at once to the president of the Battle Creek College.

THE holidays are almost here, and doubtless many of the REVIEW readers have selected presents for their friends. No other present is so much appreciated as a good book. If you desire to make a Christmas present, and have not already made your selection, why not procure a copy of “Christ’s Object Lessons” for your friend, or one for each of your friends? We now have plenty in stock, so send along $1.25 for each copy, and have them mailed to your friends. Do not put it off, for you will not have more than time to address us and have the book reach your friend before Christmas. If you wish to make a present to a child or a young person, send “Easy Steps” or “Best Stories.”

Twenty-five cents will send one copy of “Easy Steps” or “Best Stories,” postpaid, of heavy paper cover. If you wish one more substantially bound, send fifty cents, and get the cloth “Easy Steps,” or the tag-board “Best Stories;” or if you wish the best binding of “Best Stories,” send seventy-five cents, and the mailing clerk will take pleasure in rushing the book out by the first mail.

If you do not wish any of these books with which to make presents, send us twenty-five cents for a paper-covered “Steps to Christ,” or fifty cents for a cloth-bound book. It is one of the best books that was ever written. Would it not be well to get these books rather than permit your children to read the trashy matter usually found in book stores at Christmas time? A good book is a fine companion, and remember that the book which your child reads this Christmas may influence him for life, either for better or worse; so be sure to make a good selection. Order immediately, as the time is very short in which to send before the holidays. Address Review and Herald Pub. Co., Battle Creek, Mich., and order whatever book you may desire.
