Preserve Your Signs.

By Editor

ONE volume of the SIGNS OF THE TIMES contains over 700 pages of solid reading matter of the most interesting and instructive character. During the course of the year articles are written on nearly every phase of every Bible subject. Series of articles on important subjects are given, and obscure and difficult texts are explained. Besides this, there are valuable articles on practical Christianity, instructive stories for the family, temperance and missionary statistics, and reports of the progress of the cause in various parts of the world. The whole volume contains a variety and amount of useful matter that would cost ten times as much if purchased in any other form, provided it could be obtained anywhere else. The last number of each volume contains a complete index, so that out of the great mass of miscellaneous matter, the reader can at any time refer to that which he wants.

In every paper there are articles that should receive more than a casual reading; they should be studied with care. If the papers are not preserved, the subscriber does not realize one-half the benefit from them that he should.

But how shall the papers be preserved? Laying them away on a shelf is a very unsatisfactory way, for the trouble of handling over a pile of papers to find a certain number, is so great that it will seldom be undertaken. And in that case, the probability is that the papers will soon be used in ways not designed by the publisher. Many, no doubt, would like to save their papers and have them bound, but the trouble of saving them all till the end of the year is too great.

To all who wish to keep their papers for future reference, and to those who have not yet thought of it but ought to, we recommend the patent binder. The office is now prepared to furnish these in any quantity. They are prepared especially for the SIGNS in its present form, with the name SIGNS OF THE TIMES stamped in gilt letters on the back. With one of these, each subscriber can bind his own papers as they come, and thus have them always accessible, and in a style neat enough for the center-table. The binder holds one or two copies as securely as it does the whole volume. One minute spent when your paper first comes will enable you to keep it forever. Directions for using accompany the binder. Price, post-paid, $1.00.
