DO OUR READERS KNOW

By Editor

1. That the Signs of the Times, during 1898 is, by the good hand of the Lord, to be better than ever before?

2. That its columns will be lengthened, its space thus increased a column and a half, and the looks of the page thereby improved?

3. That it will be printed on better paper and will therefore be more readable?

4. That it will be much better illustrated with fresh and original illustrations?

5. That it will have more editorial help, thus enabling us to improve it in various ways?

6. That it will publish, as before, short, live articles on all the various phases of present saving truth, each issue such as would lead an honest inquirer to the Saviour of men?

7. That we have planned for a specially illustrated series of articles on the signs of the times which clearly reveal our present duties and dangers?

These and much more we have planned according to the wisdom God has given us, for the volume to come. There will be stirring articles on the prophecies of Daniel and the Revelation, showing their meaning and fulfilment, a study of the book of Hebrews, revealing the power, humanity, and all-helpfulness of Christ Jesus, the work of the Spirit of God, and much more. In short, there will be a feast of good things spread before our readers fifty times a year, and all for the exceedingly low price of one dollar a year.

Many papers, religious as well as secular, increase their subscription list in order to secure paying advertisements; we hope to more than double our list the coming year, in order to spread the Gospel of our soon-coming King to save souls, and enlighten the pathway of those who are walking in the shadows.

We shall by His grace make the "Signs" a helpful all-around family paper, teaching the Word of God faithfully, a true friend and counselor in every home it visits.

This is a part of what we hope to do; our work we trust will speak better than our promise.

We want your co-operation in the increase of our circulation. We desire your aid in bringing souls to Christ Jesus. Read what the publishers have to say on pages 14 and 15.
