THERE is not, probably, a more instructive and important chapter in the Bible than the seventh of Daniel. A brief exposition of this chapter occupies the first page and part of the second. The period of overwhelming interest to which this line of prophecy leads is the inauguration of the King of kings, the judgment, and the reward of all the just. Let the reader, as he travels past the several monuments which mark the way to the city of God, carefully consider his relative nearness to the last great judgment, and the glory of Christ and his people.
The subject of the "Ministrations of Angels" is one that enters very largely into sacred history. Its history is the history of the Bible. And we suggest that holy angels are always present to minister in connection with the work of the Spirit upon the mind and heart. Elder Canright is invited to continue this subject for the SIGNS.
It is with pleasure that we learn of the interest of the citizens of Battle Creek, Michigan, upon the subject of temperance. Since the report of the Battle Creek Daily Journal, copied on page 35, was in type, we learn that Mrs. White has, by request of leading citizens, spoken in the City Park to an attentive audience of about one thousand. Temperance is the foundation of moral and religious character. Intemperance blasts the hopes of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.
"Moses Like Christ, or the Jewish and Christian ages not Contrasted," is a subject of intense interest to those who regard the law and the Gospel as running parallel in the ages of human probation. We propose to continue this subject, and show a harmony of Bible expression with the positions taken. Suggestions from those who have studied the subject will be greatfully received.
We are very glad to give in this paper the law regulating the mailing of papers, and more fully stating our plans and wishes, that our friends may better understand how to co-operate with us.
Mrs. White will continue her articles which will be regarded as rich in thought upon the great subject of salvation through Jesus Christ.
And we are happy to give a better variety of valuable articles from the pens of Elders Loughborough, Canright, Cornell, and Cottrell.
