With the record Of accomplishment
which DR.. Torrey has. and wlth The
Interest that already has developed IN

as il eve has experienced.
An idea Of the b~usinesslike meth
DDS with which this remarkable cam
paign is being pursued IS manifested
in the posters which advertise the
meetings. They are printed on yel
low cardboard in black and red ink
The word Sin" appears IN large red
letters al the top Of the poster. The
top two lines read.
What Sin Costs Chicago.
Beneath. In black type. with a nd
ruled border, appear these state
ments.
Thousands Of lives every year.
Millions OF dollars 10 suppress
crime.
Hundreds OF widows and orphans
caused By drink and crime
Thousands Of girls led astray,
Thousands q boys arrested for
crime.
Hundreds Of insane ard suicides
Dozens % women assaulted 4
In a circle with a red background
e. the bottom OF the poster appears
the slogan.
To Win Men 10 Christ
Az the bottom OF the poster. in large
black type. Is the war cry:
