EVANGEL|ST|C TOUR
That of Rev. R. A. Torrey Has
Been a Record Breaker.
Has Preached the Gospel Around the
World with Wonderful Success
Chased as a New Evan
EeIistic Leader.

Not since the days of st. Paul, the
apostle, whose fervid missionary
spirit drew him to every part of the
world, as known al that time, to preach
the Gospel, has the world witnessed
such an evangelistic tour as that which
Rev. r. A. Torrey and Mr.. Charles AL
eNander have just completed. There
have been great reviyals under Luther,
Knox, Wesley, and many others down
to the great revival wave which swept
over America and England under the
preaching and singing of Moody and
Sanlley, but none have been marked
by the remarkable characteristics of
the Torrey-AleXander meetings, which
have extended pretty much around tie
world. The work of other evangel-
lists has been confined to one or two
countries at most, and while vast in
the number Of people reached and con-
yerts won, still they have not been
on as broad a scope as the tour just
ended by the return to Chicago of
Messrs. Torrey and Alexander.
After preaching in Hawaii, spending
month in Japan, and preaching "A
times at different places, after spend
ing three weeks in China, six months
in Australia, Tasmania and New Yea
land, where meetings of tremendous
size and power were held, and thou
sands upon thousands of converts won,
after passing through Ceylon and In
dia, and preaching the Word and sing
ing the Gospel in those places, after
meetings in London and a great re-
vival work throughout Scotland, Mr..
Torrey comes back with these words
upon his lips: 1--WE are on the dawn
of worldwide revival" Surely the
mantle of Mr.. Moody and a double
portion of his spirit has fallen upon
the man whom Mr.. Moody, 10 years ago,
sought out and placed over the Bible
Institute at Chicago, which stands to-
day as one of the greatest monuments
to the sacred memory of the great
evangelist.
We dare not attempt to estimate the
miles travelled, number of meetings
held, multitudes of people preached
to, and number of converts won, for
fear if we came near to the actual fig
ures we should be accused of gross eX-
aggeration or for fear we gave sta
tistics which would be considered rea-
sonable, we would fall so very far
below the true figures as to miserably
fail to do credit to the great evangel-

ADIRONDACK F|RES'
Methods Used in Fighting These
Destroyers of Forests.
How They Were Started-A Peculiar
Story Told by state Fire Warden
mmOus-HerOism Displayed
by the Workers.

The great Adirondack fires, which
have just been eXtinguished by the
aid of timely rain which came after
a public meeting at Newcomb, n. Y,
in which the people united their pray
ers for rain, have furnished an endless
amount of thrilling incidents, acts of
heroism and methods of fighting the
fires. Some of the finest virgin forest
preserves were burned over. Ten thou
sand acres of the estate of W. Seward
Webb, around Nahasane, was swept
over by the flames; Rockefeller's 10000
acres was two-thirds burned over; and
property owned by the brother of
Mayor Low, of New York, William

istic tour. Mr.. Torrey left Chicago,
December %, 1901, and returned on
June II of this year, being gone near
ly a year and six months. During this
time the globe has been circled with
the simple Gospel by preaching and
singing. The methods of conducting
the meetings were not unlike those
which proved so effective in the Moody
meetings of years ago. A great deal
was made of the singing, and Mr.. AL
exander captured the people of Austria
liza, with his singing and successful
leadership of large choruses, organ
lied in the places where the meetings
were held. At Melbourne, where the
greatest success was realized, he had
1900 in the chorus, and with the 1000
people who crowded nightly into the
vast exposition building to help the
singing of the Gospel songs, the ef-
feet was simply marvellous. The
GLORY" song has flooded Australia
and the common greeting there Of
Christian workers now is II. Tim 2:1B.
Mr., Torreys tour was the out
growth of an urgent call in 1899 from
religious workers of all denominations
of Australia to Mr.. Moody to come and
undertake an extensive campaign
there, Circumstances prevented Mr..
Moody from responding, and the mat
ter was dropped. Later Mr.. Torrey
came to the attention of the EyangeH-
zation Society of Australasia, which
had previously sent the call to Mr..
Moody, and he was invited to visit
the island. Out of this grew the world
wide tour which has been so success
fully completed.

OF TWENTY-NINE CITIES
SAVANNAH STANDS SECOND

New Haven.

A review of Savannah building cper-
ations for the first quarter of this
year, that is, up to March Is, which
is published in Duns review in con-
nection with similar operations in the
other chief cities of the country, makes
an excellent showing for this city.
The Review says, under the caption,
Savannah" Building in this vicini-
ty has progressed wonderfully during
the past year or two; a large section
of the city has been developed, and
many people have built their own
homes. In January, February and
March, 1901, 1913 building permits were
issued, calling for improvements cost
ing 100000; the year 1902 will show
only a difference of three in the num-
Der of permits for the corresponding
months, and practically no difference
in the amount of improvements; in 1908
for January, February and half of
March, 129 permits have been issued,
with improvements costing $500, 900.
