OUR QUARTER-CENTENNIAL NUMBER WILL CONTAIN
By Editor
1. An article by the world-famed Oriental scholar and archæologist, the Rev. A. H. Sayce, LL.D., of Oxford, England, on God’s witnesses in stone, or the testimony of the monuments as revealed during the last quarter century to the truthfulness of God’s Word. This is written specially for this paper. 2. An article from the pen of Alonzo T. Jones, author of “The Two Republics,” “Rights of the People,” etc., on the progress which has been made toward State-and-Church union in this country during the last quarter century. 3. “Important Inventions for Twenty-five Years,” by Uriah Smith, author of “Thoughts on Daniel and the Revelation,” “Here and Hereafter,” etc., and for many years editor of the Review and Herald. Elder Smith is himself an inventor, and his article will be of interest. 4. The “Rise and Development of False Religions and Isms” during the last quarter century, by L. A. Phippeny, an article of special interest. 5. A story for our Home department by Mrs. S. M. I. Henry, for many years at the head of evangelical work among the W. C. T. U. These are about one-seventh of the specially good things which the SIGNS of Jan. 5, 1899, will contain. It will have thirty-two pages of reading matter, with tinted cover, printed in colors. We will give the names of other writers next week.
