“Signs Magazine” for July — Its Message

By Editor

“The Great War in Heaven.” Based on Rev. 12:7-17. A war in which all should be vitally concerned. Presented in a way to hold the reader’s interest.

“Cumulative Evidence of Christ’s Second Coming.” “When we have line upon line of evidence to prove any fact or event, doubt is smothered beneath the array of proof, and the proved fact stands out in the strong light of day.”—First paragraph of this article.

“Why God’s Judgments Visit the Earth.” “Not a pleasing message,” the writer says. Some of the fearful judgments referred to, and a reason assigned for them.

“The World Outlook.” Brief review of the standing of the warring nations, ending with editor’s Scriptural comment.

“Fifteen Facts Regarding the Sabbath of the Lord.” A “boiled down” presentation of the Sabbath question. Can be read in five minutes, but never forgotten.

“Hypnotism.” The writer of this article says, “The one who uses hypnotism to control his fellow men is doing the devil’s work.” A short article and to the point.

“The Great War.” Who will conquer? We do not know; nobody does. Death, who rides at the head of the armies numbering millions, is exacting dreadful toll with each passing day. Sobering comments of this sort characterize the article.

“My Kingdom is Not of This World.” Strange to say, preachers for two hundred years or more have taught the idea that the world is to be converted, notwithstanding plain Bible teachings to the contrary. This article shows the folly of such belief.

“The Church Correcting God.” Statements throughout this article, like the title itself, are startling, and the author’s happy faculty for putting things in an out-of-the-ordinary way will hold the reader’s attention.

“Blue-Penciling the Bible.” Don’t miss reading the deserved rebuke to the following statement by a writer of prominence: “Apply the blue pencil liberally to the Bible, and we shall have not only a Christianized version but also one that will more effectually show the power of Jesus to affect human society.”

“Christ’s Example of Prayer;” “Talking for Peace;” “Our London Letter,” and “Current Topics.”
