A Truly Great Paper

By Editor

The Tercentenary Special of the “Signs of the Times Weekly”

THE leading articles of this great Bible number of the Signs of the Times weekly are as follows:—

“The Annals of the English Bible,” by M. E. Olsen, tells how men of God labored, and even died, to give the people of England the Bible in their own language, from early ages till their efforts were crowned by the King James Version of 1611. It reads like a romance.

“Later Revisions and Versions,” by the editor. A brief sketch of later revisions, and the real need which brought out the Revised Versions, the best translations in the world.

“Influence of the Bible on the English Language,” by L. A. Reed. A telling review of the effect of the Bible on the English language, moral as well as literary. We are drifting from it now.

“The One Living, Ever Present-Day Book,” by George W. Rine. The Bible is not out of date; it is not an ancient classic; it meets the needs of to-day, full of the sympathy and life of God.

“The Power of the Word to Save,” by C. L. Taylor, brings before us concretely the fact that, as of old, so now, the Bible has power to save from sin and its consequences. It is a living Word.

“Blessings of Bible Study,” by Mrs. E. G. White. One of the best from the pen of Mrs. E. G. White, presenting before us the Bible, and the Bible alone, and all human authority or opinions subject to that.

“The Bible and Religious Liberty,” by W. A. Colcord, clearly sets forth that the religious liberty manifested in its full flower in America as nowhere else in the world, was born of the principles declared in the Bible, and taught by Jesus, the Saviour of men.

“Important Dates Regarding the Bible,” by the editor, gives in chronological order all the dates of the important versions and translations of the Scriptures, from B. C. to the present generation.

Extracts From Great Men on the Bible

Every one at all interested in the Bible—Christian or infidel—would pay five cents for it if the opportunity were offered him. And there is soul-saving in it also.
