WITH two expositions attracting the attention of the whole world to their very doors, and the advantage in securing accurate data and photos which this proximity affords, it seemed fitting to the publishers of the Signs of the Times Magazine that they make the March issue an exposition number.
SIGNS of the TIMES
May 24, 1919
At these celebrations commemorating the opening of the canal, there will be incomparably the largest and richest display of the fruits of modern civilization that the world has ever known. In the arts, sciences, and inventions will be seen a fulfillment of the prophecy that “knowledge shall be increased.” This furnishes the basis for articles which will appear under the headings “An Exposition of Our Times” and “Then Shall the End Come.”
These expositions are significant in other ways. They represent the westward march of civilization, and suggest the texts for the message-filled articles entitled “The Circle Almost Circled” and “Westward the Course of Empire.”
One of the most striking pieces of architecture at the Panama-Pacific Exposition is the arch of the Rising Sun, typifying the nations of the East. This prompted the idea of making an article on “Sun Worship and the Sabbath” part of the Exposition number.
Thirty-six pictures, one a double-page panoramic view of the Panama-Pacific Exposition grounds, showing the Golden Gate and the charming Marin hills in the background, give an excellent idea of the general appearance of these surpassingly great and beautiful expositions.
Besides the exposition features noted, articles entitled “Russia and the Open Sea,” “The Bible True,” and the “Grand Finale of Armageddon,” will also appear.
Don’t be afraid that this number will be consigned to the wastebasket. It will be well received by those to whom it is sold or given. Its very appearance will sell it in many instances. Try 25 at 5 cents a copy, or 50 at 4 cents a copy. Ready February 1.
