Signs in Nature. None of them are hidden in a corner. What do they all mean? What will the end be? What is their effect upon society, upon the state, upon the church? The Signs of the Times will, in this present volume, undertake to tell its readers, from reason and Revelation, the prevalence of these things, how deep-rooted they are, and what they signify. A special series of articles will be written on these subjects by Prof. G. W. Rine. Those who have read the articles by Professor Rine on Capital and Labor know how thoroughly and forcibly he dealt with that subject. These, we are sure, will be equally good. Now is a good time to renew your own subscription, if need be; and, better still, to secure your neighbor's. The articles will begin soon.
