June in All Its Beauty

By Editor

THE COVER for the June “Signs of the Times Magazine” is a typical scene in California the last week in March. It shows what greeted the eye on every hand in this beautiful valley of Santa Clara where Mountain View is located. As it will reach our readers in the East just about the time the spring blossoms are well advanced, for them it will come in very appropriately for this month of the year. The picture in full color, covering the entire front page of the magazine, shows a prune orchard in full bloom.

The contents of this number of the magazine are unusually good. The following is a partial list:

“Educate the Whole Man.” By Prof. H. R. Salisbury. As this is the magazine that opens the scholarship campaign, it is appropriate that we give some consideration to the subject of education. Here is a timely, forceful article from one of our leading men in the educational work. Out of a ripe experience in this country and in Europe, he writes on the great, true principles of the education of our youth.

“Lessons from the Great Titanic Calamity.” The terrible wreck of this gigantic steamship points out some of the typical errors of the time. The monstrous ship has gone down. We are helpless in attempting to undo what is done. But if humanity can learn the lessons to be gained from the occurrence, those who perished will not have died entirely in vain.

“What Modern Inventions Mean.” We are in an age of unparalleled advancement in the matter of great mechanical improvements. This progress has a prophetic significance, clearly pointed out in this article.

“The Message of the Electric Telegraph.” The discovery of both the electric and the wireless telegraph are briefly described, and the meaning of the discovery is explained from the Bible and the prophetic view-point.

“The Significance of International Peace.” The great quiet that broods over the earth is explained in the light of the prophetic Word, showing its meaning for our times, and what it shall do for the future.

“Steam Cars and Automobiles in Prophecy.” By Frank S. Weston. The prophecy of Nahum is studied under this caption, and the great advance in locomotion used as a demonstration of the prophecy’s fulfilment.

“The Advance of Anarchy.” Last month, from the pen of the editor, we published an article entitled “The Advance of Socialism,” in which a warning was voiced showing one of the great evils that will come out of the Socialistic movement. Already anarchy is a demonstrated fact as a result of one phase of Socialistic propaganda. Still greater trouble may be expected. The article sounds a clear note of warning.

“The Fifth Universal Empire.” By Charles L. Taylor. The fifth great empire is yet future. Its territory, subjects, and time of duration are all definitely stated in the prophetic Word. In this article we have a clear setting forth of the whole subject.

In addition there is a Bible Reading, Current Topics of world-wide interest, well-written poetry, and good illustrations.
