I ' to give up the race track: I will have to give up the card table; I will have- to give ud the theatre: I will have to gMve up daneln. and life won t be worth living. Thera and then I eettled it that I would not be a Christian. "From that time I deliberately re fused to pay any more attention to the matter and. went la for a life of oleaeure. I had ood opportunity to find It. My father had a rreat deal of money and I wa eent off to the university at IS years of age. Now. a voung fellow at the univeralty, ma triculating at 18. who learns easily without much study, and with a rich father back ' h,m wh0 a" h,a .illls and never asks how he spends a penny of hie money It would have been a good thing for me If he had a young fellow like that. who has not an over-senaitlve conscience, can have a pretty good time If anybody can in this world, and I went In for a good time. Did I find It? 1 found disappointment: I found despair: I found utter wretchedness and bar renness." It was the ardent destre of the voung man's mother that he should preach the Gospel rather than be a lawyer. Many hours were spent by her In prayer that this might be the raae, but outwardly there seemed lit tle prospet of it. One night, how ever, while a student at Tale College, his mother's prayers were answered In a most remarkable manner. He himself describes the occurrence at follows: "One night I dreamed that my mother was dead though she was yt III living and that I was sleeping In my old room, .when she came In as an angel, and besought me to become a minister or tne iospei. i prommen her that I would. I never cotild get away from thai promise. Some tlm afterward I awoke one night filled with an awful agony and despair. I lumped out of bed and hurried ti the woshstand to take out of It the weapon that would end the whole miserable busine&s. As I fumbled around for It, for some reason or other I could rot find It. I don't know till this day 'Why t could not ' I Mil Broo h Pta:, F of . I It numhered filter Mill Itii, ftl-, l .i- 1 ;1 hii '.it'-T Tor: ,,, two !..-, lit .. r"1'' ... v ..

In my awful despair I dropped upon my M,ee& and lifted my heart to Ood that If He would take the burden off my heart I would preach the Qoapel, though previously the whole ambition of my life was to be a lawyer. My conversion turned on my surrender at this point, and I found peace. Though I did not come out as a Christian for more than a year, I set tled it. that I would obey Ood and preach. At the, close of my senior year in the university I made a pub lic profession of faith in Jesus Christ In the college chapel, and entered the theological department the following fall." The above will give a slight Idea 9 to who Dr. Torrey Is. As to his great work throughout the worId and his wonderful success ef converting thousands of sou la It would take volumes to tell. The same book, written by Mr. Davis, tells of his ap pearance In London as follows: Upon reaching London a great wel come meeting was held in Exeter Hall which had been arranged by cablegram while the evangelists were till in Bom-bay. it was a memorable gathering. Mr. T. A. Denny presided. Among those -present were Lord Kln T.r'vt' Lord dstock. Prebendary Webb-Penlope, Dr. J. Munro Gibson, Dr. Barnanado. Rev. S. F. Webster, Dr. Harry Guinness, Dr. R. A.
