A New Series

By Editor

After thoroughly testing the matter, the Signs of the Times weekly has selected the first of November and the first of May as the dates for beginning their six months' series. These series have undergone a somewhat experimental stage, but have proved themselves convenient, helpful, and effectual in the missionary work of the people. They will now be made a permanent thing with our pioneer missionary paper. The next series will begin with the issue of November 11 and continue to April 28, twenty-five numbers in all.

Those who are now sending the Signs to others or taking clubs, for the series closing December 23, can extend these subscriptions to the close of this new series, including seventeen weeks, at the special rate of 40 cents each. It need not interfere with their plans at all.

Beginning with this new series, the Signs announces a special staff of editorial contributors composed of our leading general and foreign mission men, and we are assured of real, helpful, winning, timely issues of the paper, which has done such efficient work in the progress of this great movement.

In addition to these special contributors, there are about forty more of our leading men of wide and successful experience who will furnish important matter on various subjects from week to week, enough to fill the Signs every week brimful of the message.

It will be a paper by the people and for the people in their missionary endeavors.

In view of the place occupied by our literature in the proclamation of the truth for to-day, and the success that is attending the use of the Signs, you will surely desire to see this series reach a wide circulation. You will be depended upon in your own territory.

Watch for outlines of subjects, with writers, to appear a little later. But by all means, begin to plan, right now, a list of persons to whom you will have this series mailed.

The eleven articles by Elder I. H. Evans, to appear in the new series of the Signs, beginning November 11, are very important. The subject is “The Gospel of the Kingdom to the World in This Generation,” and it is developed in a most interesting way. They present particularly the greatness of missions and mission work. The subject itself, with what we know of the writer, is enough to convince us that they will be good. It will do your friends good to read them. It will do you good to provide them the privilege.
