OUR NEXT SPECIAL

By Editor

WE really feel that our second Special is better than the one that preceded it. We believe that our third is better still. Let us name to you the articles which it will contain:

1. The Eternal Law and the Everlasting Gospel, by W. A. Spicer, Secretary of the General Conference. The article in a beautiful way shows the purity of the law, and the right relation of our Lord Jesus Christ to that law. It also reveals how the heart in which Christ dwells will regard that law.

2. The Bible Sabbath, by A. T. Robinson, President of the Nebraska Conference. This article is a consideration of the Sabbath in the light of all the ages from creation to creation restored. It is a very clear presentation of the great subject.

3. First Day of the Week, by Abdiel, is a consideration of every text which mentions the first day of the week. It is both brief and clear.

4. The Broken Hedge, or the Sabbath Changed in the Church, by J. O. Corliss. This article tells how God designed that His law and His truth should be used as a hedge to His people, what the purpose of a hedge is, how it has been broken down by apostasy, how there will be a call in the last days for its restoration.

5. The Character of Babylon, by C. M. Snow, of the SIGNS editorial staff, showing the very beginning of those principles of evil that brought confusion into the work of God for the earth.

6. The Principles of Babylon in Succeeding Ages, by R. C. Porter, President of the Missouri Conference. A striking article showing how the principles which actuated Babylon in the beginning have been continued down through all the ages, finding their last apotheosis in the greatest apostasy of Christendom.

7. The Reformation and America, by Prof. J. A. L. Derby, of the Washington Training College. A striking article on two of the great movements of the Christian ages, one in religious, one in civil government,—the Reformation which brought new light into the world dead in superstition, the American principle of free government which brought revolution into the civil life of the nations. An article both interesting and instructive.

8. Encroachments on Freedom, by K. C. Russell, Secretary of the religious liberty work in Washington, D. C. Surely every American ought to be interested in whatever power or influence there may be in the Republic which encroaches on that freedom given to the world through America. Mr. Russell points out just how these encroachments are coming in. This article should be read by every American.

9. The Great Field of Prophecy, accompanied by a diagram pointing out in the briefest possible way some of the tremendous events telling all that we are nearing the end.

10. "Signs in the Earth," by A. J. S. Bourdeau. Giving in the briefest form, because necessary, some of the striking omens showing that the Lord's coming is near.

11. The Investigative Judgment, by Mrs. E. G. White. A striking article on the very times through which we are passing, and the relation of the court of heaven to this time.

We have several striking poems and Bible-readings besides the illustrations which the papers will contain. Our cover page is designed especially for this number. Presenting as it does the law of God and Christ's relation thereto, it is of itself a sermon. Mrs. Stuttle's article, "Education in the Home," will be continued from the last Special, and there will be other things in the Home department of interest.

Surely this paper ought to receive a large circulation, and we believe that our readers will unite with us in giving it the very widest possible. It really is not too much to ask that each one of these Specials shall have a circulation of two hundred and fifty thousand. The prices of these sets will be found in the first column of the second page.
