A New Publication.

By Editor

It would seem as tho there are enough periodicals printed at the present time without adding another to the field. This is so true that nearly every new one which appears must needs meet the people with an apology. Most of the periodicals which are published at the present time are printed solely as money-making schemes, and the interesting things they contain and the information they disseminate, which many times is valuable, are for the sole purpose, however, of making the journal of interest to a large number of people, so that it will pay financially. A few journals have conviction behind them, and those who publish them feel that they must publish them because they contain things which are necessary for the people. That is true concerning the new periodical which is to be published by the Pacific Press, the first number of which will appear in August.

The name of the new publication is the "SIGNS OF THE TIMES MONTHLY."

It has no apology to make, because it has a message to give. Its publishers believe that God has a great reform message to give to the world now; a reform which embraces every phase of Christianity, every activity of human life in which Christianity legitimately has part; but that the great center and core of this reform lies in the everlasting Gospel which includes all the work which has been wrought by our Lord Jesus Christ for fallen man, man's relationship to Him, and Christ's coming again in the clouds of heaven to gather His own.

It will present to the world the same truths as the weekly SIGNS OF THE TIMES, but it is not designed in any wise to affect the weekly, nor to limit its field as a Christian home newspaper. The special purpose for which the monthly will be used will be in the large cities of the country, to be sold by special agents. Of course it will have its regular constituency the same as any other periodical. The price of it will be one dollar a year, each number ten cents; each number dealing with some special phase of God's great Gospel message. But it will be largely sold by agents in the great, popular centers of the country.

The editor of the journal is Asa Oscar Tait.

The publishers greatly desire to correspond with those who wish to act as agents for the paper. Excellent terms will be given those who wish to work for it, and there is a good living in the liberal commission that is paid. Write to the business manager, Mr. C. H. Jones, Mountain View, Cal., for terms.
