The New Sabbath Library.
A MONTHLY PUBLICATION.
Subscription Price, 60 Cents a Year. Single Copies, 5 Cents.
To meet the growing demand for pure literature at popular prices, we began in April, 1898, the issue of a monthly publication entitled the New Sabbath Library. The success of these issues has proved to be unprecedented, and they have attained an almost world-wide celebrity. Although appealing particularly to young people, they will interest all lovers of good and wholesome literature, whether young or old.
Each issue of the New Sabbath Library contains a complete story, most of them written expressly for us and copyrighted. The books are of uniform style and size (6½×8½), each containing 96 large pages in double column. They are in large, clear type, handsomely printed on good book paper, and fully illustrated with fine half-tone engravings. The covers are of heavy, white enameled paper, with beautifully engraved designs.
Prices.—Those who wish to procure this Library regularly, as it is published each month, may remit 60 cents for a year's subscription, being particular to state with which issue the subscription is to commence. Single copies may be ordered of any or all of the books at the rate of 5 cents each, or any number of copies of any one book will be sent at same rate. We prepay postage.
Cloth Editions.—We have also prepared special editions of all these books, printed on very heavy paper, beautifully bound in heavy covers, cloth backs and corners, ornamented sides. They are specially adapted for presentation purposes, and are the largest and best books ever offered for so low a price. Sent postpaid to any address, in any quantities desired, on receipt of price, 25 cents per copy.
Following is a list of books already issued, or about to be issued:
| No. 1. April, 1898. A Devotee and a Darling By BECCA MIDDLETON SAMSON. This book received the second prize of $500 from manuscripts submitted to the publishers in competition during the year 1897. Fannie, an impulsive girl of sixteen, bereft of her mother, becomes devotedly attached to Church work and to the study of her Bible. She makes many blunders and is severely tried at home. At last, in a manner both strange and startling, Fannie's eyes are opened to see her own mistaken life. | No. 3. June, 1898. Titus: a Comrade of the Cross By FLORENCE M. KINGSLEY. The publishers of this book, desiring to secure a life of Christ of superior merit and special character, offered a prize of $1,000 for the best manuscript submitted. The committee decided in favor of "Titus." It was an immediate success, over one million copies having been sold. It is one of the grandest books of the century, and has attracted greater attention than any other book published in this country during the past twenty years. |
| No. 2. May, 1898. The Wrestler of Philippi By FANNIE E. NEWBERRY. A tale of the times of the early followers of Jesus, and how they lived the "Christ-life" in the first century. As "Titus" gave the reader a picture of the life and times of Christ, so this book is intended to portray the life and times of the early Church. The plot is fascinating—a story for both young and old. Its Oriental setting, description of quaint customs, manners, beliefs, etc., give it a peculiar interest and attractiveness all its own. | No. 4. July, 1898. Out of the Triangle By MARY E. BAMFORD. This is a story of the days of persecution of Christians under the Emperor Septimius Severus. The scene is mainly laid in Alexandria and the Libyan Desert. The Egyptian gods were worshiped under the form of a small triangular stone. The book relates in a vivid and intensely interesting manner the narrow escapes of an Egyptian lad who has become a Christian, and the manner in which his family accept his faith and escape from Alexandria. |
