HERE AND THERE
Prospective.-Now that we are back in the
Ozarks of Missouri, we are much concerned about
the work in this field, especially, and we solicit
the assistance of every lover of truth in this part
to help us locate every place where there is an
opportunity to do good in preaching the word,
either publicly or privately. Let us “go forward”
in “sounding out” the good news to lost souls.
Furthermore, we want to push as never before
the cause of the Old Paths Advocate, as a means
of reaching honest hearted brethren, who may be
in error by teaching and practicing one or more
innovations. We have “declared war” on all in-
novations troubling the church of our Lord. We
believe that we are divided on things out of the
Bible, rather than things in the Bible. We call
upon all our preaching brethren to help us put
this paper into every Christian home, that we
may get before them God’s eternal truth on these
matters. Brethren, it is a very simple and easy
matter to obtain subscriptions for the paper-
just mention its merits publicly a time or two
in your public appearances and privately in the
homes, and you will be able to send us .a nice list
almost every.month. Please, try ityou will be
helping such homes by giving us an avenue to
teach the word in those homes, and you will be
helping to make the paper a more permanent
means of doing good. We call upon every reader
to send us one more subscription (new) this year.
We call upon‘brethren who wish to do mission
workwith their money to send the paper to new
readers. As our readers increase, so our oppor-
tunity for good increases. Already our readers
are numbered by the thousands, but we are reach-
ing only a few in the grezt brotherhood of the
Church of Christ. Awake, arise, and let us all
“go forward” in the great work!
That New Song Book.-We had hoped that we
might be able to give you something definite as
to when you could expect the delivery of our 1946
song book; but since the printers have refused to
give us a definite date, when they can run our
book off the press, we refuse to make a guess.
But, we promise all who have ordered it, that
their orders will be filled promptly, just as soon
as we receive a shipment. We still have plenty
of the 1944 book, “Favorite Spiritual Songs,” at
the same old price, 35c per copy; $3.75 per dozen;
$13.50 for 50; and $26.00 for 100; Postage prepaid
by us.
“Old Paths Pulpit”-This is a very fine book of
33 sermons and essays, covering many Bible subjects
of vital importance to saint and sinner, by
33 preachers of the Church of Christ, with a photograph
and biography of each preacher. In the
number of preachers are such noted men as Alexander
Campbell, G. A. Trott, and H. C. Harper.
The book is a very neat job on high grade gloss
paper, and well bound. One-of these books should
be in the possession of every faithful brother or
sister and in every library, Many have bought
the book for their children and to hand out to
friends. Our printers are holding an extra thousand
of these books, but a lack of finances keeps
us from ordering them, since we are putting out
a new song book and must use what we have in
the book fund to finance it, and we have considerable
tied up in ,the 1944 song book, tracts,
and the first thousand of sermon books. However,
if a number of preachers and brethren could
order 25 to 50 copies to sell, we could finance the
other thousand o’f the sermon books. I think they
will sell readily, if a little effort were put forth,
and the public needs the teaching in that book.
We hope to build up a book fund sufficiently to
stock up with good books the brethren need and
want, if possible. Shall we buy that other thousand,
brethren ?
We shall be glad to have your orders for song
books, “Old Paths Pulpit,” “The Communion,”
“Clark-King Discussion,” etc., as you may need
them.
If you have ordered any of these books, and
have not received your ,books in a‘reasonable time,
please write us. Already, quite a few of the sermon
books have been lost in transit. We are very
anxious that all receive full value for whatever
money you have sent.> Being human, we know
that it is possible for us to make mistakes, bfit
we shall humbly and gladly correct all mistakes,
when called to our attention. Please, help us keep
our records straight by reporting any errors to
us.
Send all orders, remittance, communication, reports,
and articles t$ Old Paths Advocate, Rte. 2,
Missouri, or to the writer.
