OUR OUTLOOK NUMBER

By Editor

Is ready TO BE CIRCULATED. That is what it was conceived for; that is what it was written for; that is what it was printed for. And we want you, dear reader, to co-operate with us in its circulation.

The Outlook Number meets a demand. We are in the closing year of one of earth's most wonderful centuries. The past fifty years have been marvels in material progress. Satan is deceiving thousands into believing that this material progress is a sign that the old earth will continue in this state forever, and that man has captured and harnessed and now controls all the forces of nature. Man is exalted as a demigod. The decades of the near future are to be fruitful, it is believed, of still greater results.

Others are peering into the humanly-vailed next century and visioning for themselves a world at peace, a strong, dominant church, and converted nations.

The true Outlook is from the watch-tower of God's Word. It is that outlook in various phases that we have endeavored to set forth in the World's Outlook Number. We have done this not to establish any creed, not to build up a denomination, but to faithfulness to the Word of God and the lessons of history, and in a love for souls whom we desire to save.

The truth, God's solemn, saving, joyous truth, is told, at this time, for this year, to meet this God-given opportunity to answer the questions in the minds of millions whom God has stirred to ask: "Where are we?" "Whither are we drifting?" "What next?" "Watchman, what of the night?"

But all that has been written will avail little unless we have the earnest, enthusiastic help of our readers and friends.

And yet we do not wish you to assist us for our sake, but for the Lord's sake.

Let us hear from thousands, and let the result be the circulation of many hundred thousands.
