The December number of the monthly SIGNS OF THE TIMES has for its general subject, most fitting to the Christmas season, "The Word Made Flesh;" God in Christ Jesus reconciling the world to Himself, and that word triumphant, not only in this life over sin, but over all that has come in consequence of sin.
It is a number of great encouragement to the Christian, and yes, more than this, to him who is not a Christian, because it shows him the way in which he may become a partaker of all the benefits which God has given in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Among the principal articles are: "The Coming of Christ;" "Meaning of the Nativity;" "The Love of God Expressed in Christ;" "Christ in You the Hope of Glory;" "The Enmity Existing in the Heart of Man Against Sin;" "The Rest of Christ in the Fourth Commandment;" "The Two Comings of Christ Compared;" "The Triumphant Word Through the Ages."
A special article for this number, copiously illustrated, is entitled: "Rome's Challenge to England," by our own correspondent, being a report of the great Eucharistic Congress held in London, and the lessons to be drawn from it. There is another striking article on "More Battle-Ships," especially dealing with England's plan for her navy of the future.
The departments are themselves well sustained; in fact, the December issue is an excellent number, and one which ought to have a large circulation. Added to all this is an illustrated cover, with Plockhorst's great picture of "The Nativity" for the center.
The price of the number is ten cents. It ought to have a large sale.
