The Magazine with the Message
By Editor
In addition to its usual line of timely matter, the Signs of the Times Magazine for August contains several articles suitable to this hot month of the year. The cover design is a view of Yosemite Valley, with its high arching trees, showing the waterfall and the green valley, between the trees, in the distance. An oil-painting. Following is a partial list of contents: "Come Apart and Rest" is a vacation article, written from Christ's invitation to His disciples. It gives some very suggestive lessons, and draws practical suggestions with reference to true recreation. "How to Be Comfortable in Spite of the Weather" is the title of another article, especially timely for August. It is written by Dr. Paulson, medical superintendent of the Hinsdale Sanitarium, Illinois, whose writings are well known and appreciated by the readers of this magazine. "Spiritualism; Its Latest Phase," by the editor, brings the development of Spiritualism down to date. It shows the real power behind this movement, and the wonderful advancement which this modern delusion is making at the present time. "The Responsibility of Capital" is another article dealing with current events, bearing a moral, and pointing out logical results that are certain to eventuate as warranted by the facts and the predictions of prophecy. "The Second Coming of Jesus—Greed as a Sign of the End," by Prof. George W. Rine, is another contribution in a series of articles which have appeared in the greater portion of the magazines this year, from the pen of this graphic, trenchant author. "The Heavens Declare His Glory" is an astronomical article by Guy M. Green. In the past there has been a great interest on the part of the readers in our astronomical articles. We commend this to their interest and attention. "The Value of Sanitation in Panama," by B. E. Connerly, is an article of interest just now, as the work of Panama is rounding out toward completion. It shows what sanitation will do in what was one of the most disease-ridden sections of the country. "An American Reformer," by Mrs. E. G. White, continues the series of articles appearing from this well-known author. "The Creative Word and the Sabbath," by the editor, presents some considerations from the evolutionary and scientific aspects of this subject. The articles on China, which were temporarily broken into, are resumed by an illustrated description of "Chinese Dwellings," by Mr. Stafford. The Signs of the Times Magazine for July was a record breaker in the matter of sales. The largest number that has been printed for several years, 55,000, was printed. At the time of this writing, there is no question of complete sale of the edition, and it has further been demonstrated that five or six thousand more copies could have been sold had they been printed. July is always a good month with the Magazine, and we will have to lay our plans another year to print close to 75,000 copies of the July number. This shows that the work, with this magazine at least, is growing. We are glad for the increase in our audience, as it means greater possibilities for good in reaching the additional number with our message. Ten cents in coin or stamps to the Signs will bring you a copy of the August number. It is well worth your time and money. The Signs Magazine wants agents, and it has a most attractive agency proposition.
