The September Watchman
By Editor
THE above cut is a reproduction of the cover of the September Watchman. It pictures Peace banished from Europe, and makes one of the most attractive three-color cover designs that has appeared on this magazine for some time. On the inside, as a frontispiece, appears a full-page illustrated Scripture text. This is the first of a series five of illustrated Scripture texts dealing with the conditions in the world at the present time. Another very striking feature of the September Watchman is a full-page illustration of the recent “Eastland” steamboat disaster at Chicago, accompanied by a short note from the editor.
Taking it all the way through, this issue promises to be one of the most interesting and attractive that has yet been published. Some of the articles are as follows:—
“One Year of War.”
“The Pope’s Neutrality.”
“Cause of the Present World Crisis.”
“The Vatican and the War.”
“Mr. Bryan and the Peace Movement.”
“The Return of the Jews.”
“The Opening of Africa.”
“Russellism” (Continued).
“Distress of Nations, With Perplexity.”
See that your relatives and friends and neighbors each receive a copy of this good number of the Watchman.

You Know, but Do Others?
By Editor
WHETHER or not Jerusalem will be rebuilt, the ultimate fate of Turkey, why wars exist, the real day of the Sabbath, why evil is permitted, are questions with which you are more or less familiar. But how about your next-door neighbor and the other neighbors? Many persons are unwillingly ignorant of the truth regarding these things. Such ones would be highly pleased to hear or read about these much-discussed vital questions.
The Signs Magazine for September — don't forget the month, September — contains as good answers to these questions as have ever been written. And that is saying a good deal. They are so clear, definite, complete; nothing seems to be lacking.
Then, too, there will be that promised and long-looked-for astronomical article about Orion, and the great vacant space in the heavens,—the corridor to the throne of glory. Nor should we fail to make special mention of Elder Daniells’s second illustrated article about his recent travels and observations.
The contents, lacking the ten or a dozen current events and comments thereon, are as follows:—
“ A Time of Peace Predicted by the Bible.”
“ Wars Foretold in Prophecy.”
“ Constantinople the Key to Empire.”
“ Will Jerusalem Be Rebuilt?”
“ Providences and Miracles of Modern Missions.”
“ God’s Dwelling Place—Where?”
“ Miracle-Working Spirits.”
“ Why Wars Exist.”
“ Nailed to the Cross.”
“ The Lord’s Day.”
“ The Devil’s First Great Deception.”
We are convinced that your fellow townsmen will be glad to pay ten cents for a copy of the September number. You probably know that the magazine will cost you but five cents a copy for five to forty copies, and four cents a copy for fifty or more.
Between 4,000 and 5,000 new subscribers were added to the Signs Magazine list recently.
Your tract society will be glad to receive subscriptions or orders for quantities.
