Changes in Sabbath-School Instruction
By Editor
THERE will be hereafter no special Sabbath-school department in the SIGNS OF THE TIMES. When that department was opened, we had no Sabbath-school papers, and it was designed to furnish instruction to Sabbath-school officers and teachers, as well as notes on the lessons. But now we have the Sabbath-school Worker, published monthly, which is conducted by specialists in that line, and covers the whole field, so that there is no reason for such a department in the SIGNS OF THE TIMES. The notes on the International lessons will, however, be continued, both for the benefit of those who are studying those lessons, and also because in every portion of Scripture embraced in those lessons there is valuable instruction for the general reader. We hope that none will skip those notes, because they do not study the lessons. They will be as valuable as any other portion of editorial matter. The regular denominational Sabbath-school lessons will not appear hereafter in the SIGNS, since nearly all who study them are supplied with lesson pamphlets. We shall, however, very frequently make editorial comment, more or less extended, on some point in the lesson, so that the readers of the SIGNS will find it as valuable Sabbath-school help as ever.
