The Signs Number of the Southern Watchman
By Arthur G. Daniells
WHEN the gospel was first made known to fallen man, his eyes were directed to the second coming of Christ. Enoch, the seventh from Adam, looked forward to this glorious event with gladness. All the way down the ages, the people of God have centered their hopes in the coming of Christ to end the reign of sin, and establish his kingdom of glory. And now at last the generation has come that is to witness the Saviour's coming and all the wonders connected with it. How wonderful, how grand this truth and this time! How solemn the responsibilities of the church of God in this closing hour of probation and human history. The event to take place calls upon the people of God to proclaim to all the world the coming of the Lord. This must be done. It is a part of the program. Jesus can not come until this proclamation is made. It is to aid in giving this world-wide advent message that the Signs number of the Southern Watchman has been issued. This number is full of Bible facts regarding the time in which we live and the meaning of the events now taking place around us. It makes plain what the world needs to know. And now what is required is that this number of the paper shall be circulated, and this calls for effort, for earnest, whole-souled effort on the part of our people. The reports of the efforts already made and the success attending them are cheering. The purpose of this note is to encourage our brethren to press on with this work. “Arise, shine; for thy light is come.” A. G. DANIELLS.
