Signs of the Times Monthly

By Editor

September Number Ready August 20

ONE of the leading features of the September number of the Signs of the Times Monthly will be an article by Elder A. O. Tait on the wonderful increase of destructive insects during the last few years, as spoken of in the prophecy of Joel. Few persons realize the fearful ravages now being made by these pests, and the vast amount of money expended to combat the evil. All this is shown in this article, and it can not fail to impress the reader as being a marked fulfilment of the prophecy of Joel. Not only will the article itself be illustrated by photographs of the various insects, but the cover will be brilliant with suggestive designs of crops and fruits of various kinds in their natural colors, showing the insects at work.
It is a very striking and impressive design, telling the story at a glance.
As usual the first department in the magazine will be Notes on Current Topics, calling attention to the leading events of the month in the social, political, and religious worlds, and the bearing they have on the fulfilment of prophecy. Following this will be articles entitled,—
Human Failure and God's Grace: A most excellent sermon by the Rev. E. Guy Talbott, Methodist Episcopal pastor at Estella, Cal., showing that there is no hope of the world's growing better until the Lord Jesus Christ shall come.
Baptism: An article by Elder Wm. Covert, which not only teaches the truth, but which makes an earnest appeal to those who desire to be Christians.
Will All Men Live Forever? or Immortality in Christ, showing that our only hope of life is in Jesus our Lord, by Elder Geo. A. Snyder.
Signs of the Second Coming of Christ, by Prof. G. W. Rine. This article deals with the assurances God has given us, and the promises he has made concerning the second coming of Christ.
A European Letter by a regular correspondent, dealing with two special topics: (1) The Military Spirit in Switzerland; and (2) Italy's Schemes in the Balkan States.
Mr. C. E. Milton, correspondent in Rome, gives an account of the Jubilee of Pius X, and the anti-clerical demonstrations which have threatened the peace of Italy.
The Missions Department will have an illustrated article on the always interesting field of Burma, by Prof. J. L. Shaw, superintendent of missions in India.
The Temperance Department will be up to date, especially in view of what has been done in the way of prohibition the last year. Its subject is, The Liquor Traffic: Should It Be Prohibited?
The Home Department has a little story entitled, A Mother's Prayer, by Florence Booth Miller; also an article on the Origin and History of Fashions, which will delight our lady readers, by Dr. Margaret Evans, of Palo Alto, Cal.
Many of these articles will be illustrated with drawings and splendid photo engravings. All those who have placed study upon it think this number will far surpass the first issue in August.
