Sequel of College Meeting.
Since the evangelists have been in
Philadelphia they have addressed over
1000 college and university students
in and around the city. They were in
vfted to colleges where the holding of
a revival service was an unheard of
thing. Dr. Torrey related a striking in
cident which came as the sequel Of
one Of these college meetings. He said:
II had a very interesting experience
this morning We have been going
round to the colleges Of the city hold
! ing meetings at the noon hour. The
| son Of a professor at one of these col
Ieges who was very kind to us called
on me this morning. He said: !

went away from my house rejoicing"
DR.. Torrey had scarcely concluded

too. A railroad man told me last night
that yesterday a man went up and
handed So through one of the windows
where they take in money for the rail
road and said, This is money that this
railroad was cheated Of twelve years

''Now, if any of you like that story"
added DR.. Torrey, "and you have any
railroad money or street car money or

back"
DR.. Torrey one day addressed the
students of the University of Pennsyl-

So One after another the men arose
and confessed that they had not been
living as they should, but that hence
forth they would devote themselves to
the work of soul winning. At the con-

and Il half years there he had never
seen anything like such a melting time
and such an opening up of the hearts
of the students
At the second meeting for students
Mr.. Alexander asked Mr.. Trotter to
tell his story The latter told how he
had been saved when a drunkard in
Chicago on his way to the lake front

the head of the largest rescue mission
in the country and had nearly dozen
evangelists holding revival meetings
throughout Michigan under his direc-

them with their education and culture.
