Twenty-Five Special Numbers

Beginning with October 30, the publishers of the SIGNS OF THE TIMES will issue a series of twenty-five special numbers covering all the main points of the Third Angel's Message. This series will be inaugurated by the great

World Missions Special

A double number (32 pages), covering the great field of missionary effort during the past century, telling what has been accomplished and what still remains to be done, together with a strong appeal to the people to finish the work in this generation.

It will be the brightest and best missionary journal ever published by any denomination.

It will contain reports from men who are in mission fields and who speak of their personal experience.

Its illustrations will be fresh and its appearance attractive.

It will be a number that every one, whether Christian or infidel, will be glad to read and study.

It will be a number that will surprise even our own people, showing as it will the mighty advance steps being taken in missionary effort.

On two pages opening opposite each other there will be portraits of pioneer missionaries from Carey and Judson down, thirty-two in all, with a brief sketch of each. These two pages alone will be well worth the price of the paper.

On another page there will appear engravings showing the great missionary fields of the world, the population of each, etc. These will be arranged in the order of size of population, China, with its four hundred millions, taking the lead. On the opposite page will be diagrams and statistics showing the amount of money expended for liquor, tobacco, and other things of like nature.

Bible Readings Series

Beginning with the great Missions Number there will be a series of twenty-five special numbers which will be of peculiar interest to all. A very prominent feature of these numbers will be a series of illustrated Bible Readings covering all the leading themes of the Gospel. These readings will occupy the two center pages of the paper and will appear under the heading of “Home Bible Studies for Winter Evenings.”

They will be in the form of studies, with notes and quotations from history bearing upon the subject. They will be illustrated by diagrams, drawings, and unique little illustrations that will explain the lesson and make it simple and comprehensive.

The regular departments of the paper, such as “The Outlook,” “Missions,” “The Home,” etc., will be maintained the same as usual.

Special attention will be given to the Home Department, and a series of articles by Mrs. L. D. A. Stuttle on “Home Building” will be well worth the price of the paper.

There will also be talks to youth, talks on health and temperance, interesting information and occasional helpful stories and sketches.

Remember that this special series begins with the great World Missions Number, October 30. Subscriptions should be sent in at once in order to be sure of securing the entire series.

Send for illustrated booklet giving further particulars.
