O how much time and paper and ink is wasted in vain speculation as to who shall be our next president, or the next candidate for this or that great party. If men would spend one-fourth of the time in seeking to enthrone Christ in the heart, the old world would be greatly helped. The coming kingdom is as much more important than this as eternity is more important than time.

Not Great Men but Great Truths
Not great men but great truths save us. We may follow men, idolize men, hope in men, but invariably at some point the man fails, and we fail. But truth received unites us with the living throne of the Eternal, and He will never fail.
To Serve or to Be Served
What are you living for—to serve or to be served? Do you stand by ready to lift or to lean? If the latter, you are a pessimistic, cynical critic; if the former, you are full of zeal and courage, tho things do go hard.
Intelligence Is Not Morality
Intelligence is not morality; the devil is one of the most intelligent creatures in the universe.
Publication and Bible Authority
By Editor
We send no papers from this office to individuals without pay in advance. When persons receive copies without ordering them, they are sent by other parties, and we can give no information in regard to them. Persons thus receiving copies of the "Signs" are not indebted to the office, and will not be called upon to pay for them. Please read the papers you may receive, and hand them to your friends to read.
Our authority is the Bible, the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments. When the Common (King James) Version, the Revised Version, or the American Standard Revised Version is used, quotations will not be designated in reference. Any Bible quotation in this paper, therefore, differing from the Common Version, unless otherwise indicated, will be from one of the two revised versions, usually the American Standard.
