The Next Six Months

By Editor

There are living issues in the world to-day — religious, political, social — and nearly all of these great issues have religious phases. The great nations of the world are in a ferment. Uneasiness, unrest, uncertainty, characterize the great mass of people everywhere. What is to be the outcome of it all? If there ever was a time when the watchmen of God should be lifting faithful voices in warning, it is now. This the “Signs of the Times” will endeavor to do in its issues for the next six months. Let us give again briefly some of the things planned for our next series by writers well informed, lucid, and interesting:

1. What is the meaning of the great world movements? What do the signs of the times denote? the federation and the peace movement? the war preparations? the increase of spiritism and kindred cults? the spirit of unrest and revolution? the church-and-state movements which are sweeping over the world? These will be presented, and in the light of prophecy, by various writers, and correspondents from the great world centers.

2. The coming of our Lord, and what it means. There will be six special articles upon this. There are many who are predicting a change in dispensation of some kind, some great revolution to sweep over the earth. These articles will tell us what we may expect.

3. The Sabbath question has become a world-wide question. It enters not only theological circles, but social and political circles as well. There will be seven articles on the great Sabbath question.

4. The world needs a Saviour. The one Being above all others in whom dwells the fulness which the world’s emptiness demands is Christ Jesus our Lord. Therefore Christ, in nine different phases of office and work, will be presented in a series of articles entitled “The Fulness of Christ.”

5. The priesthood of our Lord will be a study of interest as compared with the various conceptions of priests, pagan, Jewish, and Christian.
