What Will the New Year Bring?

By Editor

ANOTHER year is rapidly drawing to a close,—a year of strife and warfare beyond the sea; a year of financial hindrances and hard times in certain sections of our own country. Still, in spite of the conflict in Europe, this country has been signally blessed in not having been engaged in bloody combat in either Europe or Mexico. But as the old year is drawing to a close, the question naturally flashes before us, “What will the new year bring?” What does it hold in store for the fighting nations abroad? What has it in store for our own country? What does it hold in store for God’s people?

The cover of the December Watchman pictures a sunset scene, the sun representing the year 1915 drawing to a close. One of the leading articles in this issue is entitled “What Will Tomorrow Bring?”.

Never have opportunities been better for selling our literature than now. We know not how much time we may have while there is yet peace and opportunity in this country to scatter our message-filled magazines, so it behooves us to put forth every effort to give our warning while times are favorable.

The Watchman is recognized as being a most easy seller, a magazine easy to get into the hands of the people. And where once it has been placed, the truths it contains will win their way into the hearts of the people. It is a splendid magazine to help break down prejudice.

The December number contains some most interesting and valuable information on a number of subjects. We wish to call particular attention to an article in this issue entitled “The Rush of Mighty Armies Toward Constantinople,” by Elder Carlyle B. Haynes. The writer reviews the recent rapid developments in the southern zone of the European war, and gives a vivid picture of the rush of the mighty Teutonic and Allied powers as they are endeavoring to push their way closer and closer to the City of Mystery, and brings in some new phases on this question that have not yet been mentioned in the Watchman. This article alone will sell the magazine.

A few other articles in the December number are:— Is Man Immortal? The Two Thrones. The Pope and the Powers. Christmas and Sunday. An American Prophetess. Affairs in Portugal.

Order a supply at once from your tract society, and see that all your neighbors and friends receive a copy of this good number. Remember it is the December Watchman. It is now ready.
