The April “Signs” Magazine

APPEARS with a very pretty and appropriate front cover and an unusually good table of contents. There are three strong, timely articles on the Eastern question. The first will be extensive reprints from a recent issue of the Chicago Tribune, showing how delicately balanced the situation is. Then follow extracts from authorities showing the situation as viewed by them, with timely comments. The climax is not far off. Practically all students are agreed as to its imminence and location. Then the editor follows with an important and interesting Bible study on the subject, calling attention to the time, the place, the participants, the maneuvers of nations preceding the event, the leadership, the cause for the present seeming delay or prevention, the terrible events centering around the great event, and the conditions resulting from and following the awful crash,—“the deliverance of God’s people and the wreck of this wicked world.”

Other strong leading features: An article on Astronomy, “The Infinitude of Space,” by the editor; “Transmission of Disease Through Milk,” by Dr. D. H. Kress; “The Birth of Isaac, or the Promise to Abraham,” by Wm. Covert; “Easter and the Resurrection, or Man’s Condition After Death;” a Bible study, “What Shall Be the Signs of Thy Coming?” by Mrs. E. J. Hilton; “The Advancing Apostasy,” by Frank S. Weston; “The Decay of Protestantism,” touching on the Reformation in Germany, by E. E. Andross; and “The Divine Call” in behalf of missions. Also a good, interesting Current Topics department. Our people should be glad to secure a few copies of this excellent number for distribution among their townspeople. Order 10 or 20 from the tract society. 5 to 40 copies, 5 cents each; 50 or more, 4 cents each.
