The August “Signs” Monthly

By Editor

THE fact that fifty-three thousand copies of the July Signs of the Times Monthly were circulated is evidence that this messenger of truth is appreciated.

A leading feature for August will be a description of the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition, written by the editor, who visited it, and gathered information and photographs with this number in mind. It shows the purpose of the exposition as viewed by a student of world progress, and arouses interest in an article following, entitled “Westward the Course of Empire Takes Its Way,” by Elder M. C. Wilcox, which interestingly presents the prophecies being fulfilled in the marvelous development in this country, including the great Northwest, thus showing from a Bible standpoint to what place in the world's history this period of progress brings us.

Among other articles, teaching each phase of the message, are:— Life and Work of Christ, Mrs. E. G. White; Shall We Recognize Matter, or Spirit Only? Elder R. A. Underwood; Has Sunday a Bible Foundation? Elder C. L. Taylor; Needs of the Soul; How Supplied, Elder Wm. Covert; Fundamental Principles of Religious Liberty, Elder W. A. Colcord; The Home, Temperance, and Bible Reading departments are filled with interest.

Just a word from the last letter from one of two young women now on their second month's work in Sacramento, Cal., shows how faithful effort is being rewarded: “Today I worked three hours in residence district, and sold twenty; two hours in business district, and sold forty. The last three days I have worked twelve hours, and have sold 160 papers.” These workers have visited the State capitol building twice, selling thirty-six in June, fifty-four in July. They are working hard, and averaging about one dollar an hour.

We invite you most earnestly to take part in circulating the Signs Monthly, beginning with the August number. Twenty-five copies cost one dollar; they bring two dollars and a half, with which to continue the work; one hundred cost four dollars; you sell them for ten dollars. Order early of your tract society; ask for the “Signs Worker;” study the paper and the canvass; and enjoy the real service which this work offers.

SIGNS OF THE TIMES, Mountain View, Cal.

Missionaries Bound for Holland and California

ELDER J. W. HOFSTRA, of West Michigan, with his family, sailed last week for Holland, where they will spend about three months in study, before going on to Java, in the Dutch East Indies. We were glad to greet this missionary family in Washington, on their way to New York.

WE understand that Elder S. N. Haskell, who attended the New England camp-meetings, is this week on his way westward to California.

The Founding of Norwich and Religious Freedom

THE two hundred fiftieth anniversary of the founding of Norwich, Conn., was celebrated July 5. President William H. Taft was the leading speaker of the occasion. Referring to the early settlement of New England, and to the motives prompting the Pilgrim fathers to emigrate to the American wilds, the President said, as reported in the Washington Post of July 6:—

We speak with great satisfaction of the fact that our ancestors — and I claim New England ancestry — came to this country in order to establish freedom of religion. Well, if you are going to be exact, they came to this country to establish freedom of their religion, and not the freedom of anybody else's religion.

The truth is, in those days such a thing as freedom of religion was not understood. Erasmus, the great Dutch professor, one of the most eloquent scholars of his day, did understand it and did advocate it, but among the denominations it was not certainly fairly understood. We look with considerable horror and with a great deal of condemnation upon those particular denominations that punished our ancestors because our ancestors wished to have a different kind of religion, but when our ancestors got here in this country and ruled, they intended to have their own religion and no other.

The Rev. James Fitch could not look upon any other religion in this community with any degree of patience, but his descendants, firm in the faith as he was, now see that the best way to promote Christianity and the worship of God and religion is to let every man worship God as he chooses.

We sincerely wish that all might see that "the best way to promote Christianity and the worship of God and religion is to let every man worship God as he chooses." We commend these words of President Taft to the Constitution tinkers, to those who are seeking so earnestly to enforce upon others their own religious views and practises.

Forga Leaves for England

This week Brother E. F. Forga left Washington to sail from New York for England. In connection with work on Spanish translations, he plans to take a year of Bible study in our British training college.

Trummer Sails for South American Book Work

By the direct boat to Buenos Aires this week, Brother Max Trummer, of Union College, sailed from New York for South America. Brother Trummer has been preparing for over a year to enter that field in the interests of the book work. Last season he was leader of the German canvassing work in the Middle West.
