SPECIAL TO OUR FRIENDS.
By Editor
This, our first issue of the year, is sent to a number of our December subscribers whose renewal has not yet been received by us. Reader, if you are one of these let us say a word to you. In view of the important time which we have now reached in this world’s history no one can afford to be without the SIGNS OF THE TIMES during the new year. As our name indicates we are faithfully pointing out these signs, which are more marked every day as we approach the great crisis that will usher in the coming of the Just One. Are you not pleased with this our first issue? Those that follow will be none the less attractive and interesting; and what is more, we are planning to better the paper each succeeding week during 1898. Don’t neglect to send us your renewal at once if you have not already done so. Yours faithfully,
