A Call for Prophets

By Editor

Professor Chas. S. Nash, of Pacific Theological Seminary, Berkeley, Cal., truly says in The Homiletic Review for January, that "there never was a day when the call for prophets of the living God was so widespread, appealing, and insistent, as it is at the present." By this, Professor Nash means men who will speak for God, who will give God's Word to the people. And it is true.
We are sure that it is neither news nor comfort to say that the whole country has been treated to such a freeze as it has not had in many long years. No place, so far as we know, has been exempt. It is from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and from the North Pole to the Gulf of Mexico. There has been great suffering in the North and West, especially on the part of the great cattle herds. Doubtless there is some compensation. If the germs of disease and the larvæ of destructive insects could be frozen out, it would be a blessing. They have the power, however, of enduring severe freezing and surviving.
The "Signs of the Times Monthly" for February is a number of decided interest. While called the Washington and Lincoln number, it is not confined to that topic. Washington and Lincoln are set forth as great, strong characters who believed in liberty, which ought to be prized at the present time. Apart from this the current topics deal with the United States Naval Power; Frauds — Their Meaning and Restraint; Halley's Comet; Situation in England, etc. Some of the special articles are The Great Apostasy; Washington and Lincoln; "What of the Night?" The First Day of the Week and Its Bible Claims; Why Keep Sunday Every Week? True Liberty; Divine Healing. There are other articles, Bible readings, poetry, etc., of interest and importance. It is an excellent number, full of important Bible instruction, and interesting in the facts which it presents. Ten cents a copy. The Monthly can be secured with the weekly at $2.25 a year.
