A Perplexing Problem

By Editor

ONE of the most perplexing problems that this country, or any other country, for that matter, has had to deal with is that of capital and labor, and the relation they should sustain to each other. Millions of dollars and thousands of lives have been sacrificed in trying to solve the problem.
This question will be fully discussed in the Signs of the Times Monthly for October.
Articles have been secured from prominent writers, representing the different sides of this controversy, thus making it an intensely interesting number, and one that will appeal to all classes. The subject will be taken up in the following order:—
“From the Manufacturer’s Standpoint.” An article by John Kirby, Jr., president of the National Association of Manufacturers, will present the subject from the manufacturer’s standpoint.
“From the Standpoint of Organized Labor.” Selected statements from the recent utterances of Mr. John Mitchell, the great labor leader, will present the subject from the viewpoint of organized labor.
“From the Socialistic Standpoint.” A special article on “Capitalism and Socialism,” by Eugene V. Debbs, will present the matter from the Socialistic standpoint.
“From the Prophetic and Christian Standpoint.” This view of the problem will be handled by the editor, who has given years of study to the question, and who will present to the reader the only true solution of this most perplexing problem.

General Articles

Other leading features of the magazine will be an article on “The Sabbath Institution,” by Elder H. W. Cottrell, president of the Pacific Union Conference.
“Struggles for Religious Liberty in the Western World” is the subject of a very timely article on Religious Liberty, by Elder J. O. Corliss, member of the Religious Liberty Bureau.
Dr. D. H. Kress, of the Washington [D. C.] Sanitarium, writes upon the much-thought-of theme, “What Constitutes Divine Healing.”
Mrs. E. G. White has an article on the great divine mission, “Go Ye Into All the World.”
Elder Clarence Santee, president of the Southwestern Union Conference, writes on the subject, “The Nations and Prophecy.”
Elder Wm. A. Westworth, president of the Southeastern Union Conference, has a very helpful article, “The How of the New Birth.”
“The Jubilee of Calvin in Geneva” is the title under which Jean Vuilleumier tells of the celebration of the birth of Calvin, and of the founding of Calvin’s Academy in Geneva. Preparations for this event have been in progress for the last four years.
The cover for this number is a three-color half-tone, the original drawing made by Mr. Charles Mente, our New York artist, and it represents in striking figures the only true solution of the capital and labor problem. It is a beautiful conception, and tells the story at a glance.
The October number of the Signs of the Times Monthly magazine will be one of the most interesting, attractive, and important yet published, and is sure to sell readily. Orders should be sent in early.
Agents wanted in every city and town.
