The regular departments of the paper such as, "The Outlook," "Missions," etc., will be maintained the same as usual.

The Outlook Department

In this department special attention will be given to current events that have a bearing upon the fulfilment of prophecy. We shall continue to send representatives to all important gatherings, both political and religious, in order that our readers may be kept informed of the natural trend of events.

Home Department

We can only suggest some of the good things to appear in our Home Department in the year to come. We know that our readers will be greatly helped by them. For instance, here is a list of twenty-one articles on

"The Building of the Home"

by Mrs. L. D. Avery-Stuttle, whom our readers know so well.
  1. Home, What It Means.
  2. Honorable Young Manhood.
  3. Beautiful Young Womanhood.
  4. Acquaintance, Friendship, Proprieties
  5. Honorable and Proper Courtship.
  6. Marriage and Its Meaning.
  7. The Husband in the Home.
  8. The Wife in the Home.
  9. The Family Altar.
  10. The Father.
  11. The Mother.
  12. The Son.
  13. The Daughter.
  1. Reading in the Home.
  2. Order in the Home.
  3. Simplicity in the Home.
  4. Economy and Thrift in the Home.
  5. Mutual Helpfulness.
  6. Gatherings in the Home—Associations.
  7. The Master in the Home.
  8. The Outshining of the Home.
Besides this list of helpful articles we have the promise of another series which we may entitle #### "Observations on Home-Life" from the pen of one known to some of our SIGNS family, and to many outside our SIGNS family, Mrs. Emma H. Adams, author of several excellent books, a lady of many years' experience, of wide acquaintance, and with a young heart. In a series of short articles she will give our readers the benefit of some of her keen observations. Besides these there will be talks to the young, talks on health and hygiene, interesting information, and occasional helpful stories and sketches. The Home Department alone will be worth the price of the paper for a year.

With Our Inquirers

This department of the SIGNS seems to be becoming more and more interesting and important as is evidenced by the large number of questions that come to the editor's desk, and our readers will be glad to know that this department will be kept up the same as heretofore, and all are invited to make use of its columns.

Bible-Readers' Band

We hope to enlist many thousands among our readers who will read the Bible thru in one or two years. Of this we shall have more to say later. It will be one of the profitable departments.
These are some of the good things which we expect to lay before our readers in the year to come. We believe that they will appeal to one and all as being well worth the subscription price, and we not only hope to retain every name now on our subscription-list, but to add many more. Renewals should be sent in early so as not to miss the great Missions Number.
