A NEW waymark is reached; for our special Home Bible Series is about ended. Only two more numbers and the series will close. For months the editors and those associated with them have been studying and planning for what is to follow. As the result of this study we present herewith a brief outline of some of the good things we have in store for our readers during the coming year. It will be noticed that the articles cover a wide range of subjects and that they will be of special interest to Bible students and those who wish to study the prophecies of God's Word. It is the strongest and most comprehensive outline yet presented.
A Verse by Verse Study of the Book of Revelation
What one book of the sixty-six books of the Bible could we least afford to lose? It must be that book which gives a summary of all the good things in the other books, and closes the marvelous canon of sacred Scripture. The name of that book in Greek is "The Apocalypse," The Revelation, The Disclosure of Jesus Christ.
Have you studied this divine drama of the ages? It has its stage, its scenery, its settings. It has its plan, its plots; it has its heroes, its heroines; it has its kings and warriors; it has its romance, its marriage, its glorious, eternal hereafter. We can not tell you its worth, its riches, its glories, in this limited space. But the editor is going to tell about it in the year to come. These articles alone will be worth far more than the price of the paper for the year. But this is not all.
"Shiloh: the Man of Sorrows"
Is the title of a story which will run from week to week throughout the year. It will tell the story of the greatest character that the world ever knew, just as truly as it can be told by one who lives in the twentieth century; tells it as tho we were living, moving, acting, in the very days of the Messiah Himself.
It is not a novel, altho the story is told in a new way; it is not a romance, yet there shines throughout the story a love that is stronger than human affection. Those who begin its reading will be held by it and be drawn nearer to the Master, we believe, clear through to the end.
For the Busy Business Man
Beginning soon and running continuously through the year, there will be a "Page for Busy Men by One of Them," covering in the briefest and most conclusive form the reasonableness, reliability, comprehensiveness, and the world's need, of the sacred Scriptures.
Even "he who runs may read," and have his confidence established in the Word. Business cares rob many persons of the needed time for Bible study, with the result that they are likely to be stripped of their shield of faith and become victims of the present-day theories and delusions of men. Shall we not improve this opportunity of learning "what saith the Lord"?
GENERAL ARTICLES
There will be an interesting series of articles on the Sanctuary Question which will meet the seductive theories of self-salvation so growingly prevalent; another on the Coming of the Blessed Master, showing what that coming means to this sin-sad world, and what our Lord wants it to mean to you; another on the great Sabbath Question in both its negative and positive phases, and its place in the great doctrine of religious liberty; another on the great reformation under Zerubbabel, Ezra, Nehemiah, Haggai, and Zechariah; another on Man's Nature and Destiny which will effectually meet the mighty on-sweep of the dark wave of Spiritism, now engulfing the world.
SPECIAL ARTICLES
In addition to the foregoing, there will be special articles on the following subjects:
Life through Christ;
The Outpouring of God's Spirit;
Religious and Civil Liberty;
The Meaning of Higher Criticism;
The Signs of the Times in their Scriptural Setting.
Also articles showing how the great black hand of the father of lies is stretched out over the nations with its five restless, nervous, grasping digits of Popery, Apostasy (Religious Infidelity), Spiritism, War, and Greed, to gather in and crush the people of earth.
