The World's Missions Number of the “Signs”

By T. E. Bowen

THIS special issue deserves a wide circulation, and we believe it will have it. The time is certainly ripe for a strong effort missionward—not alone financially, but with the settled purpose of taking the message itself to the waiting millions who know not God's comforting love.

Heaven is looking to this people to whom so much light and truth has been committed, to enlighten the world concerning very important impending events.

The fatal mistake of ancient Israel in not enlightening the nations round about must not be repeated by this people. As a people greatly favored of God, we are brought to a time of wonderful opportunity. Eternal consequences hinge upon our action now.

The World's Missions number of the Signs presents an opportunity for hastening the message that rarely comes within our reach. Filled with excellent articles, it will give the people, especially those in our bustling cities, something to think of besides their mad rush for gain and pleasure, by holding up before them the argument of the cross of Calvary, displaying as it does the wonderful love of God for a lost world. Think of the self-sacrifice displayed on this uplifted tree!

Perhaps it is unnecessary to say that the Mission Board is very much interested in this special issue of the Signs, because it is wholly devoted to the interests of the great world missions, for which the Board is constantly laboring.

We believe that the publishing of this World's Missions number of the Signs carries with it great possibilities for accomplishing a splendid work for our missions, and that God's special blessing awaits all who, with love for God and perishing souls, unite in making this effort another strong uplift in behalf of this great cause in the regions beyond.
