For the month of February there is a splendid array of articles appearing in the Watchman. “Completing the Work of the Reformation” is the leading editorial. The Reformation which was begun in the fifteenth century, is being completed to-day by a people whom God has chosen to do a special work.
In view of the many and varied attempts to force Congress to commit itself to religious legislation, “The Siege of Congress” will be of special interest. The editor attempts to show that our religious liberties are in danger, and those who prize them should not fail to give this article wide publicity among their neighbors.
GEORGE WASHINGTON ABRAHAM LINCOLN
In spite of the world-wide unrest to-day, two of the most powerful monarchs among the crowned heads of Europe, rode side by side at a recent meeting of the monarchs at historic Reval. Concerning this, Prof. Percy T. Magan sets forth in his interesting way how the English and German monarchs have allayed the fears of their countrymen by showing unusual friendship for each other. Why this extraordinary friendship? This article explains the true significance of this important meeting so diplomatically arranged.
Prof. Frederick Griggs treats of the “Boy Scout Movement.” A thorough analysis of this world-wide movement to organize boys into uniform scouts. Will it result in a generation of soldiers or citizens? and if the former, will this vast power be used to produce a larger standing army with its attendant danger of militarism? All parents interested in their boys’ future should read this article.
Prof. B. G. Wilkinson closes his very interesting series on “Sun Worship,” this month’s contribution treating of latter-day manifestations of it. In this Christian land of ours there are manifestations of the old pagan sun worship on every hand. While this closes this series from the pen of Professor Wilkinson, Watchman readers will be glad to know that he will continue to write each month for the Watchman. He is eminently fitted to give our readers some good things and they can be sure that a treat is in store for them the coming year.
These are just a few of the leading articles of the February number. It is a splendid issue to distribute among your townspeople. With China a republic and Turkey falling to pieces, surely the signs are thickening about us. May the Lord help us to arouse to our sense of duty, and sow the seed while we have opportunity. We know of no better seed to sow than the Watchman.
