Easter Signs Monthly

By Editor

An appropriate cover, with several unusually good articles on Easter, the greatest of annual religious festivals, characterizes the April number of the Signs of the Times Monthly. Doctrinal questions and heart-reaching spiritual articles also enter into its make-up.

C. L. Taylor's article, "The Easter Festival," contains this quotation: "There is no trace of the celebration of Easter as a Christian festival in the New Testament or in the writings of the apostolic fathers. The sanctity of special times or places was an idea quite alien from the early Christian mind; and neither Christ nor his apostles enjoined the keeping of this or any other festival."

"The Resurrection of Jesus the Christ; Its Supreme Place in the Gospel," by G. W. Rine; "The Power of His Resurrection and the Fellowship of His Suffering," by R. A. Underwood; and "Strength of New Life," by the editor, are full of beautiful thoughts, and they certainly give the truth on this question of the resurrection, which is so little understood.

"Astronomy" has revealed almost infinite depths to the stellar universe, stars and systems extending through space without end. The universe is vast. Its infinitude reflects the infinity of its Maker. . . . Is there a center to this vast universe? Is there some point around which the whole universe is moving? Is there some central sun, as it were, to which all worlds, stars, and systems make their obeisance?" These are the first sentences of that thoroughly interesting article by the editor, entitled "The Corridor to the Throne of Glory."

Until recently Buddhists have placidly looked on while Christians carried on their propaganda in Buddhist countries. But this monstrous institution of error has awakened; it is establishing Young Men's Buddhist Associations, Buddhist Endeavor Societies, Buddhist Tract Societies; and they are sending out their Buddhist books and leaflets by the million. An interesting article deals with this great system of error.

H. W. Cottrell contributes an article. It is entitled "The Restoration of the Bible Sabbath." Comment is scarcely necessary for the excellence of this writer's pen productions is well known. But the publication of this article is reason enough for giving this number a wide circulation.

Other excellent articles deal with events of current interest. The magazine costs 4 cents a copy, if 50 or more are ordered; 5 cents a copy for from 5 to 50. Order early, for the edition is limited; 29,400 circulated last month. Orders should be placed with your tract society. Address Signs of the Times, Mountain View, Cal.
