SECOND--They are good at keeping people out of bed till
midnight--because they make such "mighty interestin' reading."
Such books may make their authors famous and their publishers rich,
but if that is all they are good for, we would not care to sell, much
less to publish, them.
The book which the reader holds is put out, not because it is bound to
be a _good seller_ nor because it is _interesting_, but because
of its power to HELP Christian work and workers, and of its own
ability to give instruction in righteousness to its readers, old and
young; to sow seed thoughts of truth in human minds and hearts.
And who will it help?
All Christian platform workers in general and the Sunday School
Superintendent in particular.
