The One Saviour

JESUS CHRIST our Lord is the hope of the world. Not as a reformer, not as a teacher, not as a prophet, not as a martyr. He was all these, but He was more. "In Him was life." He declared, "I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly." John 10:10. "These [the works of Christ] are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing ye might have life through His name." John 20: 31. The great dying world needs life. Poor dying humanity needs life.

Through the reception of the life of Jesus comes righteousness, comes power to prevail over sin, comes victory over all the powers of darkness. He is "the Lord our Righteousness;" He is "Christ our Life." In that life are all other excellencies, all other dignities. He is our Saviour, Teacher, Example, Physician, Friend, Companion all the way. He only is able to "save to the uttermost."

Therefore preach Jesus, the Way, the Truth, the Life. In such preaching, backed home by the Word, rests the salvation of souls, at home and abroad.

Striking Statistics

By Editor

We call attention to some striking statistics on page 30.

Sabbath-School Gifts for Missions

By Editor

Note on page 30 the constantly increasing gifts from our Sabbath-schools, in which children are taught the importance of missions.

Africa Is Calling

By Editor

The article "Africa Is Calling" came too late to give it the first place, which general circumstances demanded; but we are glad to get it.

Foreign Mission Work Editors

By Editor

Most of the material for this number has been furnished us and edited by Mr. W. A. Spicer and Mr. T. E. Bowen, secretary and assistant secretary of our Foreign Mission work.

Art Direction for the Issue

By Editor

The art work of this issue was under the direct supervision and direction of Mr. Pedro Lemos, Instructor of Design in Mark Hopkins Art Institute of San Francisco. In saying this we are but doing justice to our friend and brother.

Worldwide Publishing Work

The movement represented by this special Missions Number of the SIGNS maintains twenty-eight publishing houses, in different parts of the world. From these, 126 papers and journals either weekly or monthly are issued, printed in twenty-eight languages; publications in all forms are now printed in sixty-nine languages.

Women Publishing the Word

The publishing work is one of God's means of heralding His message. Note its growth on page 30. In Ps. 68: 11, David, in singing of God's work in the earth, says: "The Lord giveth the word: the women that publish the tidings are a great host." When women are uniting for things worldly good and bad, Christian women should put forth great effort to publish the word of Him who set them free.

Worldwide Gospel Laborers

Scattered throughout the world during 1910, 4,346 evangelical laborers were engaged in giving the Gospel message of the soon coming kingdom of Christ. Connected with our sanitariums, colleges, publishing houses, and other institutions, 3,918 more laborers were engaged in Gospel work, or a total of 8,264. This means that one believer out of every thirteen is in some manner actively engaged in Gospel work.

Missionary Council at Friedensau

By Editor

Last July, 4-16, a missionary council was held at Friedensau, Germany. Representative missionaries were present from the Orient, Africa, and Siberia, while from the United States the officers, as well as several of the members, of our Mission Board were in attendance. The conferences in Europe were also well represented by ministers. Aside from all these, many believers came to the convention. It was our largest representative gathering ever held outside of the United States, between two and three thousand being in attendance.

Sabbath School Mission Offerings

By Editor

Those attending our Sabbath-schools during 1910 have had their attention directed week by week to the needy mission fields. As a result the gifts to missions during the year in the home land, including the United States and Canada, amounted to $101,463.59, or a gain over 1909 of $17,241.22. Added to the home donations, foreign lands contributed $36,574.13, making the world offerings last year by the Sabbath-schools $138,037.72, as against $120,682.80 for 1909. This is a very helpful and interesting item indeed, in connection with a worldwide mission endeavor.

An Appeal for Mission Offerings

By Editor

Those who receive a copy of this paper, may be interested to know that the total amount of offerings to missions as the result of placing in the hands of our friends the special issue of the Review and Herald last year, was $29,403.97. This materially assisted our Mission Board in responding to Macedonian pleas for help coming in from nearly every land. Yet we can only wish that the amount might have been larger for the sake of the perishing millions in heathen darkness. Should a copy of the Missions SIGNS chance to fall into the same hands this year, we wish to assure such that their gifts were much appreciated. The front page of this paper speaks to us very appealingly, and impresses us that still the harvest waits and the Master calls for more reapers. Large gifts would gladden His heart and bring the giver great blessing. Should any be urged by the Spirit of God to invest money in the enterprise of seeking for the souls of men who are perishing in sin, such gifts will be faithfully applied and personally acknowledged if sent to the treasurer of our Mission Board, address given above. Is it possible to invest money more wisely?

The Gospel Among Sumatra’s Mohammedans

Early this year among the Mohammedans in Battakland, Sumatra, an interest in the Gospel sprang up. One of our missionaries, himself a Battak, after three years' preparation in school at Singapore, studying the prophecies, some of which refer to the rapid spread of Mohammedanism, opened meetings at the home of a widow "hadji" (a person who has studied the Koran in Arabic and made a pilgrimage to Mecca) who heretofore had been very bitter in her persecution of all Christians. In a large room in her house the people thronged to hear the Gospel, Christians and Mohammedans alike mingling together. After studying the Bible about a month and weighing its harmonious and consistent truths, and learning that to be a Christian meant to be pure in life, this leading Mohammedan woman gave her heart to Christ and accepted the Gospel. Others are deeply interested, with good prospects of obeying also.

Cleansing From the Leprosy of Sin

There are thousands dying to-day from the leprosy of sin. Jesus said to the physical leper of old, "Be thou clean," and immediately the leprosy departed, and the man stood forth with the healthy flesh of a child. Jesus can cleanse the sinful man, the moral, spiritual leper, and make him clean in a moment of time. But the soul must relinquish the sin. Only one thing stands between the sinful soul and salvation, and that is his unwillingness to surrender all to God.

Cooperation in Gospel Work

By Editor

We are not soliciting aid or charity in this paper for ourselves, or to build up a denomination, but to give the everlasting Gospel to those who need it, who are dying without it. We are asking for your coöperation in work for God, and for souls for whom Christ died.
