The Missionary Spirit

By Editor

The Signs of the Times professes to be and is a missionary journal. It is itself a missionary, going out into all the world to carry the gospel to every creature. This being the case, we do not wish to convey a wrong idea by having simply a "missionary department," thus implying that the missionary feature is confined to a limited space. The Home Missionary, published monthly at Battle Creek, Mich., is ably conducted, covers every phase of missionary work, and is indispensable to everyone who would do any such work, or be informed on the subject. We could not compete with it in a missionary department, if we were disposed to try. So we shall endeavor to have the Signs of the Times breathe the true missionary spirit—the Spirit of Christ—on every page, making it a missionary indeed. While the Home Missionary gives the people the best instruction as to how to work, our province will be to furnish ready to hand the best material with which to do the work.
