“Signs of the Times”

THE August number of the Signs of the Times Magazine deals with the great eternal verities of God, the things which man needs to know, not simply for the life that is to come, but which will be of untold benefit in this life. “Humanity’s Greatest Need,” by A. G. Daniells. An exceedingly helpful and spiritual article, showing that the greatest need of the world and the church is the abiding presence of the Holy Spirit. This help is offered to every soul that will grasp it.

“Human Emancipation,” by Dr. L. A. Reed. This article shows, contrary to the religious philosophy of the present day, that man is not saved by social reformation or by natural generation, but that a power from above must take hold of the weaknesses and degeneracy of humanity, and make of the individual a new man.

“Revelation Thirteen,” an editorial. A very illuminating presentation of this wonderful prophecy. The time of its application; the ten horns; the beast—what is it? the deadly wound—when inflicted. There is much misunderstanding as to what this prophecy really means. This article clearly shows that it applies, not to a church or a man, but to a system under various phases.

“Evolution and the Problem of Evil,” by George McCready Price. Showing the wisdom of God manifested in permitting sin. Teaching of evolution. No power outside of Christ to uplift the imperfect human.

“The Law of Christ’s Kingdom,” by R. S. Owen. The infinite responsibility of choice; God will not compel obedience; the law is the law of liberty.

“Thy Kingdom Come.” This article is illustrated by the splendid cover design.

“Witnessing for Christ,” by Mrs. E. G. White. The possibilities and duties of Christ’s followers.

The World Outlook.

The above are only a few of the many good things to be found in the August number.
