THE "SIGNS OF THE TIMES" FOR 1900.

By Editor

THE times are full of portent. The closing of the mightiest century in promise the world has ever seen is just before. The closing year has been fruitful in the seed-sowing of great events. What does the sowing prognosticate? Men are in a fever of suspense awaiting its issue. What do these events portend for the world, for nations, for humanity? Men in their finite wisdom predict various issues. All can not be right.

There is but one unerring standard,—the Word of God. There is but one true lighthouse for the mariner on Time's sea,—the "more sure word of prophecy." There is but one true view-point,—the mountain heights of God.

It will be the earnest endeavor of the publishers of this paper to make it true to its name, the SIGNS OF THE TIMES. It will be the endeavor of its editors to be true to its motto,—"As we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the Gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, which trieth our hearts."

The Rock of God's Word stands firm; we have no other desire than to stand on the Rock. We wish all to stand there with us. There is room.

Vitally-important articles from our present contributors and others will be presented on the present condition of men and things as outlined in prophecy; God's goodness to man, God's purpose concerning man, and man's corresponding duty to God, will be set forth. In fact, every phase of Christian life and teaching, all vitally-important Bible subjects, will be treated in the SIGNS OF THE TIMES throughout the year to come.

Three special issues are planned—an Educational number, which will contain articles and expressions of opinions on subjects of vital import in the educational world, from leading educators from Maine to California. This issue should reach every lover of education.

A Fourth of July number, setting forth this nation's position in the past, present, and future.

A World's Outlook issue, about one year from the date of this number,—the outlook for the twentieth century.

But every issue will emphatically be special. Surely a paper true to the Word of God, standing for the rights of conscience of all, and whose object is to reach all with the message of salvation, ought to find a place in every home. Sixteen pages, 52 numbers, making a volume of 832 pages; price, $1.00. See third page of cover. Address, THE SIGNS OF THE TIMES, Oakland, Cal.
