The August "Signs"

By Editor

A Forest Fire by Moonlight

A REPRODUCTION in colors of a valuable oil-painting by one of California’s well-known artists, illustrating a forest fire, with the Mount of the Holy Cross (a Colorado scene) in the distance, forms the cover page for the August Signs Monthly.
In connection with this striking cover is an important article by A. O. Tait on the subject of “Fire in History and Prophecy.” The destructive elements of fire and water. The ancient world was destroyed by water; the present world is to be destroyed by fire. Its place in fulfilled and fulfilling prophecy. An important article.
“The Sabbath—Its Real Significance,” by Mrs. Adelaide D. Wellman, a well-known writer, new among Signs contributors. The Sabbath truth is given in a new and interesting setting, and will appeal to thinking people. Its object, both before and since the fall of man. Its service to humanity. The purpose of its restoration in this closing age. Just the thing for your neighbors and townspeople.
“This Generation Shall Not Pass,” by the editor. The generation referred to by Christ, and the prophecy of Christ with reference to it, are portrayed. Many illustrations are drawn from history to show what God has done in single generations. These are presented in order to bring more clearly to the reader the work God will accomplish in this generation. A good, strong article.
The universal proclamation of the gospel in this generation, accompanied by a terrible religious declension. These two contrasting and apparently impossible conditions as a sign of the times are reviewed in a telling way by Frank S. Weston.
T. E. Bowen contributes a candid, logical, and forceful article on the subject “Are Seventh-day Adventists False Teachers and Impostors?” A regular message article, and one that deserves a place in every home in your community.
“He Is About to Sound,” by M. C. Wilcox. For centuries the history of the world has run on schedule time. The present time in the schedule. Important.
William Covert continues his studies in Old Testament history. Dr. Paulson contributes a helpful article on the beginning of the modern health movement,—“The Origin of Graham Bread.” Mrs. E. G. White writes on “The Netherlands and the Reformation;” and E. E. Andross of “Significant Events.” The second instalment of “All Past Time,” by the editor, shows definite creation. The number closes with several pages of interesting current topics.
Send the tract society secretary a dollar, and have twenty copies mailed to you, or fifty for two dollars.
Indications are that the circulation of the July number will exceed that of any single number in the history of the Signs Monthly magazine. The August number merits an even greater circulation. Every little helps. Order a few copies now through your tract society.
