Bible Reading Series

By Editor

Twenty-four Special Numbers

BEGINNING with our next issue a series of very interesting studies will be taken up in the form of illustrated Bible-readings appearing under the head of

"Home Bible Studies for Winter Evenings."

These readings will occupy two pages in the center of the paper, and will cover all the great topics of the Gospel. They will be in the form of studies, with notes and quotations from history bearing upon the subject, and will be illustrated by diagrams, drawings, and unique little illustrations that will explain the lesson and make it simple and impressive. The topics will include:

(a) The Scriptures. (b) Prophecy. (c) The Coming of the Just One. (d) Signs of the Times. (e) The Sanctuary. (f) The Law of God. (g) The Everlasting Gospel. (h) The Everlasting Covenant. (i) Man—His Nature and Destiny (j) Spiritual Gifts. (k) The Great Threefold Message. (l) The Sabbath in All Its Phases. (m) Religious Liberty. (n) Man's Eternal Home. (o) The Outpouring of the Holy Spirit, etc., etc.

There will also be articles on the books of Daniel and the Revelation.

Articles on the book of Romans, the "therefores" and "wherefores," and the reasons for them.

Articles on the miracles, teaching, and life of Jesus Christ as the great Physician.

A series on the Ten Commandments.

The Kingdom and Priesthood of Christ.

Conditions in the world. Able correspondents in the Old World and the New. Labor and Capital. Wealth and Poverty. Plenty and Famine. Peace and War. Health and Hygiene. Home Instruction.

The regular departments of the paper, such as the Outlook, Missions, etc., will be maintained the same as usual.

The Outlook Department.

In this department special attention will be given to current events that have a bearing upon the fulfilment of prophecy. We shall continue to send representatives to all important gatherings, both political and religious, in order that our readers may be kept informed of the natural trend of events.

Home Department.

We can only suggest some of the good things to appear in our Home Department in the year to come. We know that our readers will be greatly helped by them. For instance, here is a list of twenty-one articles on

"The Building of the Home,"

by Mrs. L. D. Avery-Stuttle, whom our readers know so well.

Home—What It Means.
Honorable Young Manhood.
Beautiful Young Womanhood.
Acquaintance, Friendship, Proprieties.
Honorable and Proper Courtship.

Marriage and Its Meaning.
The Husband in the Home.
The Wife in the Home.
The Family Altar.
The Father.
The Mother.
The Son.
The Daughter.
Reading in the Home.
Order in the Home.
Simplicity in the Home.
Economy and Thrift in the Home.
Mutual Helpfulness.
Gatherings in the Home—Associations.
The Master in the Home.
The Outshining of the Home.

Besides this list of helpful articles we have the promise of another series which we may entitle

"Observations on Home-Life,"

from the pen of one known to some of our SIGNS family, and to many outside our SIGNS family, Mrs. Emma H. Adams, author of several excellent books, a lady of many years' experience, of wide acquaintance, and with a young heart. In a series of short articles she will give our readers the benefit of some of her keen observations.

Besides these there will be talks to the young, talks on health and hygiene, interesting information, and occasional helpful stories and sketches. The Home Department alone will be worth the price of the paper for a year.

With Our Inquirers.

This department of the SIGNS seems to be becoming more and more interesting and important as is evidenced by the large number of questions that come to the editor's desk, and our readers will be glad to know that this department will be kept up the same as heretofore, and all are invited to make use of its columns.

"Bible-Readers' Band."

A "Bible-Readers' Band" will be started, and it is hoped that many thousands of subscribers to the SIGNS will join this band and will read the Bible thru in one or two years. A brief outline of each book in the Bible, by whom and when written, and other important data, will be given together with suggestions as to how to take up the study in order to make it the most interesting and profitable. The senior editor will have special charge of this department.
