Even so hath God a message for THIS TIME, for this very age; a message against its sins and crimes, against its shams and traditions which murder truth, against its false doctrines and false worship of Mammon and Mars and Moloch and Fashion and Folly and Bacchus and Venus. That message proclaims the great everlasting Evangel, with all its healing, life-giving power for all the ills of this age; its truth instead of error, its righteousness instead of sin, its worship of the Creator instead of the creature, its living word instead of tradition, its reality instead of sham, its living truth instead of theory. And, as of old, men may not dally with the message. He who rejects its life-invitation rejects it to his death; he who receives it receives it unto life. And this is the message which in the goodness of God the SIGNS OF THE TIMES is permitted and commissioned to give during 1908. It must give that message. It would be false to its trust should it do otherwise. And therefore, according to its motto, “As we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the Gospel, even so we speak, not as pleasing men, but God, which trieth our hearts.” May many thousands yield to its blessed power.
