The “Watchman”

By Editor

We are starting the new year with a splendid issue. The cover design is a beautiful two-color portrait of a little child drawing a curtain aside and bringing to view the new year of 1913 in the form of an hour-glass. This will be a very handsome cover.
The great interest in the “Eastern Question” series by Prof. P. T. Magan, compelled us to run a second edition of the December Watchman. The momentous situation in Europe is stirring the whole world. Now is our time to act. Let us circulate this special series widely while opportunity is at hand. Professor Magan’s offering for the January issue will be “A Nation’s Pledge,” and will be of special interest in view of the acute conditions in Europe regarding the Turk.
There will be an editorial on “A Bright Outlook,” giving a summary of the past year and showing the possibilities wrapped up in the new year.
“The Trend of the Times and Bible Prophecy,” by C. P. Bollman, is an article of tremendous import in view of the events that are taking place with lightning-like rapidity in the world. We are living in the grandest and most solemn period of human history. The great threefold message, which has warned our hearts for so many years, should be given as never before. The Watchman is making a special effort to “give the trumpet a certain sound.”
“God’s Message for To-Day,” by R. W. Parmele, will deal with the essentials necessary for a Christian, and will make his message clear to all lovers of the truth.
Elder I. H. Evans, who is in charge of our Asiatic missions, is contributing a splendid article on “Buddhism.” He will show the fundamental falsehood concealed under the service of false works and worship in this vast system of error, with which Satan is darkening the minds of millions.
“The Jew and the Christian Religion,” by Elder F. C. Gilbert, will be the first of five special articles appearing in the next five issues of the Watchman. Elder Gilbert is a converted Hebrew, who was born and educated under the old orthodox Jewish law, and was trained in all matters pertaining to the traditions and ceremonies of that peculiar people. These articles will make the Bible as a whole, and the New Testament in particular, more lucid because of the flood of light that can be thrown upon it only by one versed in Mosaic law and custom.
Altogether, the January Watchman will present some strong features, and should be widely circulated by those desiring to have a part in the closing work.
Rates in quantities: ten to forty copies, 5 cents each; fifty or more copies, 4 cents each. Foreign countries, including Canada, 5 cents a copy.
