SIGNS OF THE TIMES MONTHLY

Ready July 15, 1908

In response to repeated and earnest calls from the field, the publishers of the SIGNS OF THE TIMES have decided to issue a monthly journal, covering all phases of the Gospel message, for the use of agents and pioneer missionary workers.

It will be printed in magazine form; pages about 6 x 9 inches; and will contain 52 pages, including cover.

The cover will be printed in two or more colors, and the whole magazine beautifully illustrated thruout.

This new monthly magazine is in nowise intended to take the place of the regular weekly SIGNS OF THE TIMES which has been used so effectually for over a quarter of a century. That will be published the same as heretofore.

The weekly paper is for home study and general missionary work.

The monthly magazine is designed especially for agents to sell on the streets, in stores, offices, and shops, and from house to house.

At the late meeting of the General Conference Committee held in Washington, D. C., April 14 to 26, the whole question was carefully considered and the following resolution adopted:

"Whereas, There is a strong demand from the field for a monthly magazine covering all phases of the message, to be used by agents in pioneer missionary work; and,

"Whereas, For over a quarter of a century the SIGNS OF THE TIMES has been recognized as the pioneer missionary paper of this denomination; therefore,

"Resolved, That we approve of the action of the Board of Directors of the Pacific Press Publishing Company in deciding to issue a monthly edition of the SIGNS OF THE TIMES in magazine form, with cover, to retail at ten cents per copy. This edition to be used especially by agents to sell on the streets, in the stores, and from house to house.

"And we further recommend, That the Pacific Press continue to publish the regular weekly edition of the SIGNS for general missionary work, the same as heretofore."

The first number of this new journal will be dated August, 1908, but will be issued early in July.

This journal in its monthly issues will cover every phase of the Gospel message in short, concise articles which will appeal especially to busy business men as well as to others.

The Outlook.

Under this heading attention will be called to all the important events of the month in the physical, social, religious, and political worlds, and the bearing they have on the fulfilment of prophecy. In other words, it will be a review and outlook of world conditions, originally written and up-to-date, no article to exceed one column. Particular attention will be given to great missionary problems of all denominations, the needs of the fields, and the progress of the work. These articles will be illustrated by maps and charts, as well as statistical information. Thrilling incidents, illustrating God's providential care over His servants, will also be given from time to time. This will be a most interesting and important part of the magazine.

Illustrated Bible-Readings.

Each number of the magazine will contain one or more short Bible-readings on some important topic, the answers to questions being given in the exact words of the Scripture.

Temperance.

In this department instruction will be given on true Christian temperance in all its various phases, and the progress noted that is made in the temperance-political field.

The Home Circle.

Here it will be our purpose to present matter of interest and instruction to every member of the family, both old and young.

No reasonable expense will be spared to make this journal attractive and helpful to all classes.
