held me back. The next day | noticed
how much more earnest was in max

precious souls to our blessed Christ and
how in business l threw reserve and
pride to the winds. My conscience

Revival Conversations.
A few days ago DIR. Torrey asked his
audience to hold revival meetings right
in the street cars and railway trains of
the city by speaking to the strangers
who sat next them about their souls
salvation. He declared that he never
gets into a railway train without ask
ing God to give him message to some
one. His advice is being literally car
ried out, and revival conversations are
now of frequent occurrence in the
street cars and trains in and around
Philadelphia. Sometimes bands of
Christians will board car and make it
resound for miles with revival melody
At an afternoon revival service a man
arose and said:
81 was delighted when l left here the
other night to get into a street car
with some of the choir. They had the
spirit of song in their hearts, and they
couldn't keep quiet, and as that old
car rolled down Fifteenth street all the
way along the street the people stopped
to see what was going on. 1t was sim
ply the spirit of God going down Eff
teenth street in the hearts Of these PEG
pie. and their lips were giving utter
ance to the fullness that was in their
hearts. 1 hope you will all take up
that spirit of song and go through the
streets singing with the spirit of God
in your hearts"
.'Get Right With God"
During the last few days the revival
fervOr has been increased by the ST.
multaneous distribution of 100000 lit
tie white cards about the size of a
theater ticket bearing the words print
ed in bold red letters on one side, Get
right with God" Mr.. Alexander had
million of the little cards printed, and
it is expected that they will be all
distributed within the next few weeks.
The singing evangelist told how he
began to use the cards in their revival
meetings in Australia and how mil
lions of them had been distributed all
round the world and had resulted In
the conversion of hundreds of persons
Before the ushers handed the 100000
cards to the 5000 people in the audi
ence Mr.. Alexander gave them one or
two suggestions as to how to make use
of them to the best advantage. He
suggested that his hearers put them in
letters and send them to unsaved
friends, put them in private mail
boxes, under peoples doors, and so
forth. He told touching stories OF how
men and women had been converted
wherever they had gone in their re-
vival tour of the world because they
could not get away from the message,
