For the Year 1909.

By Editor

IN THE nature of the case we can not tell all the good things the SIGNS OF THE TIMES will have in the year to come. History is making rapidly. New and unexpected events, undreamed of the day before, meet us frequently in the morning. Only in the light of God's truth for these times can many of these developments be rightly interpreted. These will be recorded and explained so far as God gives us light, for the benefit of our readers.

That Is So.—The Western Watchman (Roman Catholic) of November 19 says: "You can not please God and break the commandments." Then Brother Phelan, why do it? The fourth precept of the great eternal law reads: "Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy. . . . The seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God." Why not please God?
