THE PRESENT ISSUE.

By Editor

Not the present issue in politics nor in religion, but the present number of the SIGNS. Lest any should by some means miss some of the valuable things in the paper this week, we would call their special attention to certain articles. The one on the first page from Mrs. White all will of course read, it being one of a series tracing the history of the Israelites through their forty years of wilderness life, and is replete with practical hints and applications.
In the article from Elder Canright on the second page may be found an explanation of the term "Present Truth," which is so frequently used in our columns while in the article following, "A Collapse of Faith," will be found a vivid but candid portrayal of the condition of the religious world at the present time. Coming as it does from the Boston Watchman, a stanch Baptist paper, its value as a testimony against the conversion of the world is greatly increased.
Through "The Power of Christ's Resurrection" we believe that "The Immutable Gospel" of the kingdom will finally triumph, and in that beautiful "Sometime" God's faithful ones will all be gathered home. But while here we should attend faithfully to the various duties of life, not forgetting the help to be derived from "The Prayer-meeting," nor "The Duty of Tithe-giving," so ably set forth by H. Clay Trumbull. By thus living godly lives we will have no need to fear that place of burning described as "The Horrible Doctrine" of eternal misery, and we will learn to do the will of God and be able to say from experience, with the writer of "The Legend Beautiful," "Do thy duty; that is best; Leave unto the Lord the rest."
