Present World Movements in the Light of Prophecy
By Editor
We call our readers' attention to our prospectus for the next six months, beginning with November 14, found on page 13. We wish we were able at this time to arrange the matters more definitely, but that is quite impossible. A good many of our articles are in hand, but some are not; but by the time the series begins we hope we shall be able to make clear, definite arrangements so as to announce in our first number about the way the articles will appear. But we wish to assure our readers of this,—that, as in all the series of the past, we shall do better than we promise, and give our readers more than we promise. We are living in tremendously stirring times—times that are trying men's souls, that are awakening new questions in the hearts of statesmen, scholars, philosophers. There is the one great Source of wisdom to lead us out of the fog and perplexity, and that is the Word of God, that which has safely led, guided, and piloted through all the past. There is one series of articles which the editors hope to present which is not announced in the prospectus on page 13. That series will all appear under the general head of "Present World Movements in the Light of Prophecy" They will not be directly connected, as will the articles on Daniel, or on any particular doctrinal subject. They will, however, discuss matters of mighty importance. What means the great cry for federation in the world to-day—the great massing of the group against the individual? What means the great peace movement? What means the tremendous rejuvenescence of the Papacy? What mean the great movements in Eastern lands—Near East, Middle East, Far East? What will be the outcome of the great strife between capital and labor? What of the tremendous increase of Socialism? What of Mohammedanism in the light of prophecy? And what, too, of the great Protestant bodies? What is God's remedy for the ills of these times? What is His message for to-day? These and other topics will be discussed under the general head, "Present World Movements in the Light of Prophecy." We believe they will be of interest to all our readers—to Bible students, clerical and lay, and we appeal to our readers to consider them with us. The next six months of the SIGNS we believe will be epoch-making. You need it; your neighbors need it. Help us to give it the largest circulation it ever had.
