Tn LOnQOn, especially. rOydIly became interested in the movement and at- tended the meetings at Royal Albert hall, and many coroneted head bowed at the altar in complete surren- der to the Master whom Dr. Torrey feels he is serving in his most useful capacity
 The campaign in Berlin was inter- esting in that Count Wiebohn and Count Bernsdorf, two of the best known and most respected members of the German nobility, acted as in- terpreters for Dr. Torrey. Dr. Torrey himself is a fluent German speaker, and often addressed his meetings in Berlin in the tongue of the fatherland, but usually one of the two counts was present to give the proper inter- pretation of the words of the evangel- ist in a manner that would be the most effective with the audience.
 Dr. Torrey has spent much of the time since his return from the world tour in evangelistic work in this coun- try. In some respects he believes that Sunday, March IT, of the present year was one of the most remarkable days he ever witnessed He was hold l ing evangelistic services in Buffalo. There were three meetings, one for women, one for men and boys, and the third for men only. At the meeting for young men and boys TOP, ranging in age from 15 to 35 years, came for ward and professed Christianity.
 Bishop Berry, of the Methodist Episcopal church, who was present at this service, said to Dr. Torrey: q never saw such a sight before. This is Pentecost."
 In all there were 1902 conversions in Buffalo that day.
 Such, in brief, is the evangelistic history of the man who has been se- cured to head the laymen's movement to drive the devil from Chicago" With the record of accomplishment which Dr. Torrey has, and with the interest that already has developed in these remarkable evangelistic meet ings there is every reason to believe that what the laymen's council ex- poets will come true, and that, before the end of next month Chicago will have had religious awakening such as it never has experienced.
 An idea of the businesslike meth ods with which this remarkable cam paign is being pursued is manifested in the posters which advertise the meetings. They are printed on vel l low cardboard in black and red ink The word Sin" appears in large red letters at the top of the poster. The 1 top two lines read:
 What Sin Costs Chicago"
 Beneath, in black type, with a red ruled border, appear these state ments:
 "Thousands of lives every year
 Millions of dollars to suppress crime
 Hundreds of widows and orphans caused by drink and crime.
 Thousands of girls led astray.
 Thousands of boys arrested for crime
 Hundreds of insane and suicides.
 Dozens of women assaulted
 In circle with a red background near the bottom of the poster appears the slogan:
 ITO Win Men to Christ"
 At the bottom of the poster, in large black type, is the war cry:
 Help Drive Sin From Chicago"
 Are you not aggravated at times in your meetings for the sole purpose of getting money for their present needs?" was asked Dr. Torrey.
 Indeed, no," he answered. Some of the most steadfast of the converts have made in my evangelistic cam paigns have been the filthiest, appar- ently the most hopeless, specimens of humanity upon whom your eyes ever rested.
 There was one man, particular case. He hung around the Moody h. stitute for three years. He was a drunkard and one of the kind who ap- parently had lost every atom of man. hood and responsibility. He once nearly killed his wife while on a drunken spree. He used to come here and work every possible pretext for getting money with which to buy drink.
 We kept him going, among us, for almost three years. We knew he was working us, but we thought we would be able to change him into another man. Finally the case appeared al- most hopeless. I was in despair, and after an especially fragrant breach Of good faith on his part l told God that if He ever gave me another soul I wanted that man. Soon after he be- gan to change. To-day he is honest, respected, occupies a high place in the business world, and is one of the most earnest and capable Christian workers in the entire city of Chicago" l 'Is the devil more at home in Chi cago than in any other city with which you are familiar?" Dr. Torrey was asked.
 Without hesitation he answered.: | "No D
