WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT IT?
By Editor
WE refer to the resurrection number of the SIGNS, which each subscriber to this paper has probably had in his hands a week or more ere this present issue reaches him. We have already received some very encouraging words in regard to it, but it is almost too early to get fullest returns. But some of the very best words that can be said,—words that have the true ring about them,—have come in the shape of orders for extra copies of the paper. As this paper goes to press—nearly a week ahead of its date—we have received and sent out over 50,000 extra copies of the resurrection number, and the orders are still coming in. Our regular edition is about 45,000, and from present indications, by the time this present number is in the hands of our readers, our presses will be turning close to the 125,000 mark. For this good showing we praise the Lord, and, at the same time, thank our friends who have manifested such a noble interest in spreading the truth of the Gospel of Christ. We would suggest to those who are selling the paper that this special issue will not die with its date. It contains matter that ought to recommend it to patrons for several weeks to come—yes, it contains truths that will live forever. Perhaps the present issue will come to the hand of some who have not seen the resurrection number. Then we advise you without hesitation to procure a copy at your earliest convenience. The principal articles, prepared specially for this paper, in which are treated the great principles centering at the resurrection of our Saviour, are: "Christ Our Passover;" "A Risen Saviour;" "The Power of the Resurrection;" "No Resurrection, No Salvation;" "Life and Immortality;" "The Memorial of His Resurrection;" "The Resurrection Day Imminent;" "The Evidence of the Resurrection;" and an original poem of particular merit entitled, "Christ Is Risen." The illustration on the first page of cover represents the women and the angel at the tomb, while a full title-page picture represents the institution of the Passover in Egypt, the destroying angel, and Christ our Passover, crucified. Besides the special topic, the Outlook, Missions, and Home departments contain live, readable matter, specially illustrated. The truths in the printed pages of this special number deserve wide circulation. Prices for extra copies are: Single copies, 5 cents each; 5 to 24 copies, 2 cents each; 25 to 99 copies, 1 1/2 cents each; 100 copies and above, 1 1/4 cents each.
