THE WORLD'S OUTLOOK.

By L. A. Hoopes

The World's Outlook Number of the Signs of the Times will soon be ready for distribution. These special issues of the Signs are timely. They deserve a far more extensive circulation than they have received.

The world's outlook at the present time is certainly very ominous; history is fast repeating itself: in a few weeks, or months at most, we shall find ourselves far in the development of history; far in the fulfilment of prophecy; far in the measuring up of the cup of the world's iniquity. In view of these facts, every legitimate and available means should be used to disseminate the stirring truths of the last message of mercy to the world.

The printing-press was invented to be a means in the hands of God's people to give the knowledge of the Third Angel's Message to the world. In view of this fact, what more attractive and convenient form can be devised to disseminate the truth for this time than our pioneer paper, the Signs of the Times? By this means thousands will be reached who will never hear the living preacher, and who will not take time to read a book, or even tracts, on this important subject.

There should be a redoubled effort put forth by every lover of the truth to circulate the Signs of the Times. If we would but arouse to the true situation, we should find ourselves much nearer the close of this world's history than many who profess to believe the truth realize. May this special Outlook Number be a means of greatly increasing the interest of all in the circulation of the regular issues of the Signs. L. A. HOOPES.
