prominent part in the composition of
the men who have reached the White

Reuben A. Torrey, the head of this
efficient evangelistic pair, is well and
favorably known in the United States

itinerant labors do not permit him TO
appear frequently in its pulpit. He was
born in Hoboken, N. J.. in 1856. His
father was a wealthy man, and from
his early manhood young Torrey was
inclined toward the ministry. He was
educated at Yale university. afterward
studying several years at the Yale
Theological school, from which he was
graduated in 1873. The same year he
was ordained to the Congregationalist
ministry and received call to the pas

strong desire for additional theological
equipment, he resigned his charge in
1852 and went to Germany. On his re-
turn to America he was called to the
