The May "Signs"

By Editor

THE Signs Monthly for May is an excellent number. The beautiful and appropriate front cover, printed in several colors, is a regular Memorial day special. The leading article, “Portents of Trouble, and What They Mean,” by the editor, is a very important one. The signs of the times are reviewed, and emphasis is added to each sign by large illustrations on each page, with Scripture references. Numerous striking quotations from authorities to whose words carry weight are also brought into the article.
It would be well worth our time to give this number of the Signs an unusually wide circulation if this article was the only one in the magazine; but following this are a number of other important articles:—
“Socialism and Democracy,” by Mr. Weston, will be interesting to all.
Elder M. C. Wilcox then reviews the history of the world from six hundred years before Christ to the close of time. The article is illustrated with prophetic symbols, and will be a real selling point for the magazine.
A portion of the reformation work done by John Calvin is briefly reviewed by the pen of Mrs. E. C. White.
“The Bible, a Living Word,” by T. E. Bowen, strikes a helpful note.
“How Did Christ Perform His Miracles?” by Professor Rine, in which the methods of healing as used in the Emmanuel Movement are considered, and contrasted with the work of Christ—an article for these very times.
“The Divine Call,” a study in missions.
“The Oath of Abraham,” by Wm. Covert, an interesting study in Old Testament history.
Last but not least comes the second article by Dr. D. H. Kress on “Transmission of Disease Through Milk.”
Then follow about a dozen of the most striking current topics, briefly reviewed and given an important setting by the editor.
In all, this May number is a most important issue of this good magazine. Let us rally to its support, and give it a wide circulation among our neighbors and townspeople. Try 10 or 20 copies.
Prices: 5 to 40 copies, 5 cents each; 50 or more copies, 4 cents each. Order of your State tract society.
