Editorial Notes and Announcements
By Editor
The next issue will contain an article on "The Wages of Sin is Death," in which four texts, hard to be understood by some, will be explained. These scriptures are Mark 9:42, 43; Matt. 25:41, 46; and Rev. 14:9-11; in other words, the "unquenchable fire," "everlasting fire," "everlasting punishment," and "tormented forever and ever." Mr. J. Vuilleumier, editor of Les Signes des Temps, writes us from Gland, Vaud, Switzerland, as follows: "In a few weeks all the office stock and furniture, as well as the sanitarium, will move into this fine country location on Lake Geneva, where the Lord has given us a good place, as He has to the Pacific Press Publishing Company, in Mountain View." We congratulate our co-workers, and also the SIGNS OF THE TIMES, in Australia, the plant of which is moved from Melbourne to Warburton. The country is better than the city. "Peace Be Unto You."—We designed, in justice to Professor John, to refer to the music in our last issue, our Resurrection number. About two years ago, we asked for original music to the poem, "Peace Be Unto You," by Mr. Llewellyn A. Morrison. About one dozen compositions were freely offered. These were examined by a competent music committee, and the best two were selected, the one a quartet, by Mr. Max Stemple White, which was published in the SIGNS of Dec. 23, 1903; the other—all parts—by Prof. Walton C. John, of Mexico City. The latter we used last week. It is peculiarly fitting to the Resurrection topic, for it was the risen Christ which gave the message to His troubled, doubting, disheartened disciples, "Peace be unto you." John 20:21. And we are sure that our musical friends will enjoy the sweet tune to which the words are set. May both tune and words sing themselves into our lives.
