"WHAT MADE THEM GREAT?"

By Editor

Our Times, a bright little monthly digest of news for teachers, published by E. L. Kellogg & Co., of New York, asks the above question, and thus continues: "What made Washington, Franklin, Jefferson, Webster, Lincoln, and others who have shone in our country's history as statesmen, great?—They achieved greatness through the steady, persistent study, through months and years, of current history, . . . They not only read the newspapers [far fewer and better in their days than now], but the signs of the times." And the signs of the times men ought to read now, not in the garish, deceitful light of this world, but in the light of God's "more sure word of prophecy." And you will find the signs of the times set forth in the SIGNS OF THE TIMES. The paper is published for that very purpose.
