Just as a man's thumb distinguishes him from the rest of the animal kingdom, so the Fact-Index distinguishes Compton's Pictured Encyclopedia from other reference works.
Thumb-tabbed, a section of this Fact-Index is at the back of each volume.

42 THE JOURNAL OF TRUE EDUCATION PIONEERING THE MESSAGE IN THE COLDNI 'EST by H. O. McCUMBER
LAMBERT
S A TEACHER or parent you will thrill to the fascinating account A of the growth of Seventh-day Adventists in the Golden State—from the harrowing westward crossing of the Kellogg family from Michigan to San Francisco, with its thrilling account of Indians, near starvation, and certain providential deliverances, to the present time of broad expansion throughout the Golden West. Reviewers have said that it is "a masterpiece" and "intensely inter- esting and inspiring." You will agree when you read the soul-stirring account of the pioneers. A masterpiece relating the stories of J. N. Lough- borough, Merritt Kellogg, James and Ellen G. White, and other leaders who laid the foundation of the church in California. Stories of the growth of churches, sanitariums, schools, and a publishing house make delightful reading. L. E. S. of New York says: "As a teacher I appreciated a book so care- fully prepared and accurate in detail as Pioneering the Message in the Golden West, in a reading course. While the reading course books are always good, this one is outstanding." Selected for Senior M. V. Reading Course, 1947. Price $2. 7 5 postpaid
