Two Excellent Journals

By F. M. W.

THERE are many excellent journals in the world, but we refer to two particularly, which we believe should be carefully studied by every Seventh-day Adventist; namely, Liberty and the Protestant Magazine. We have reached a time in the history of the world when the principles for which these magazines stand need to be understood.

A strong, determined effort is being made in this country to secure religious legislation. The halls of Congress and our State legislatures are besieged by men representing strong combinations and federations which are clamoring for religious legislation. Liberty is the one journal published by this denomination which deals specifically with these questions. We should read it in order that we may be acquainted with the progress of this agitation; we should read it in order that we may understand how to relate ourselves to this agitation; and we should read it in order that we may properly represent to our friends and neighbors the principles for which it stands. We should take the journal to them, and induce them to read it, that they shall stand on the right side of the great closing controversy of the ages.

All this is true likewise of the Protestant Magazine. We have come to a time when true Protestantism is rapidly growing decadent. Rome recognizes this, and sees in the situation her golden opportunity, the one for which she has patiently waited and labored for years. Of late the attitude of Rome has materially changed so far as her outspoken policy is concerned. She flaunts in the face of Protestantism its growing weakness and her growing power. She invites Protestants to leave what she calls the wrecks of their faith, and find an asylum in the true church. The Protestant Magazine discusses this present situation, showing the principles that have actuated Rome all through her history, and what the outcome of the present situation will be. The Protestant Magazine gives information which every Seventh-day Adventist should possess, and which

should be placed before every thinking man and woman.

We earnestly urge our people everywhere to acquaint themselves with these two journals. At the recent General Conference Committee Council it was felt by the brethren present that these two quarterly magazines should be given a circulation of one hundred thousand copies each. This may be made possible if all will cooperate in the movement. Let us rally in giving these two excellent journals the wide circulation which their importance demands.
