The End of the World in This Generation

THIS is the title of a special issue of the Watchman which will be ready to mail about the middle of November. Its mission will be to show the strikingly unusual and momentous character of the period of time covered by the present generation, as indicated by recent movements in the religious world, and by the awful disasters which are becoming so frequent on every hand. These events, foretold by prophecy, show that the generation of people now living will witness the end of the world.

Events of political, social, and religious natures are so shaping the courses of nations and the universal trend of thought that the prophecies relating to the last days are being rapidly fulfilled. These are the most solemn times in which men ever lived; yet frivolity, intemperance, covetousness, and the long and horrible list of human sins are flourishing as never before, being shamelessly practised in the face of God's call to repentance. Shall not those to whom has been committed the message of warning be unceasingly active in their efforts to save their fellow men from the impending doom?

In 1904 a man bought a copy of the Special Signs number of the Watchman; he read this paper through three times the same day. As a result of the Watchman agent's effort in placing the special in that man's hands, the man, his wife, his mother, and two sisters are rejoicing in the truth, and three others are regularly attending Sabbath-school.

Do you want a part in a like blessed work? Then order a quantity of the coming Watchman special, and go out among your friends and neighbors, on the streets in your city and in other towns, and in every way, at every opportunity, place this paper in the hands of those who, intentionally or otherwise, are violating the law of God and going carelessly on to eternal ruin.

The cover page of this number will have an appropriate two-color illustration of Christ on the Mount of Olives, saying, “Verily I say unto you, this generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.” Two panels will also appear on this page, showing the fulfilment of Christ's words. The paper will be well illustrated, and will be printed in three colors. Its twenty pages will be very attractive, so that interest will be quickly aroused in the good articles published.

Besides the editors, Mrs. E. G. White, K. C. Russell, J. S. Washburn, Geo. B. Thompson, C. P. Bollman, and Dr. Frank Washburn have contributed articles to this special. The following is a partial list of the subjects considered: Christ's Return at Hand; Last Day Delusions; Signs of the End; This Gospel of the Kingdom; God's Warning; The Coming Conflict; The Increase of Lawlessness; The Increase of Intemperance; The Sabbath and the Lord's Day; Without Hope and Without God in the World; The Coming Crisis; Having the Promise of the Life Which Now Is, and of the Life Which Is to Come.

This special Watchman will be ready to mail about November 19, but will bear date as the regular issue for Christmas day, and will be appropriate for distribution for many months. Order at once; go out with the papers as they come fresh from the press, and asking God to be your helper, you will be surprised to see how easily you can sell three hundred, five hundred, or one thousand or more papers. Think of the good accomplished by such a work!
