hope for thousands of conversions xhis month. But if have to choose bstween thousands Of conversions with the Christians of Montgomery still in shs same condition with God that they ere now, and only a handful of con- Versions and the certainty that the Christians of Montgomery had been made right with God. I would infi- aitely prefet the hsndfuli of conyer- sions and the making right of the Christians. With that accomplished. the Christians of Montgomery would take care of the conversions them selves"
 That is the statement that Dr. Torrey made to the 1000 persons at the meet Ing last night. He offered heartfelt shanks to cod for the propitious be- ginning that has been made. and told the people how they could help the revival more than in any other way. and that Is that each Christian In meetings himself. but should bring with him friend. The way to make the revival a great success. he said. is 10 'tbring others.r
 More than 2.o0e persons attended the two meetings yesterday. and four publicly acknowiedged God. That makes the total number of conversions sor the first two. days. gseventy-one. The first Monday Of q revival is the hardest day of all the one on which the least is accomplished. and pr. Tor rey and the Ministers Union were very thankful that so large a number were able to be present. If, the peo. pie. however, understood how inter esting Dr. Torey's sermons are. and could hear the enthusiasm with which the hymns are sung under Dr. Palmer'F nnnagging zeal, as enc man who ts not q Christian said last iEhts they would at least go to hear him once, no matter what thefr religious be- ltef.
 pr. Torrey announced that prayer would continue to be the most import ant subject discussed in his sermons this week. This sfternoonk his subject hwili be. What Prayer Can po." This evening it will be .'The Ten Command snents.E

EvENING sERvvCE.

where Art Thou?" was the text of Dr. Torrey's sermon last night. He discussed "Real Salvation" and show ed that each man should find exactly where he stands with God. and discov- CT whether he is on the broad road that leads to destruction or on the narrow road that leads to life ever lasting. Are you "a child of God or are you a child of the devil? Are you a formal Christian or are you real Christian?"
 He concluded with the words. 'Men and women, eternity, and where will you spend it?'
 '"The first question that God asked man," said pr. Torrey. was put to Adam after he had committed the first sin. That question is found in the third chapter of Genesis, the ninth verse. It is. Where art thou?" Adam had often heard Gods voice before and 1t had been the sweetest music to Adam till this day. But now Adam himself. That is the history of every son of Adam from that day to this. When sin enters our hearts and our lives we seek to hide from God" That accounts for very large share of the scepticism and. infidelfty and the ag- nosticism and atheism of our day. It is sinful man trying to hide from a holy God. I
 Men will give you many reasons why they are skeptics. many reasons why they are infidels and agnostics. and atheists, but in the great major tey of cases the real reason is this men hope by denial of the existence of God to hide themselves from the dis. comfort of Gods acknowledged pres ence. That accounts also for very much of the neglect, of the Bible, and for much of the absenteeism from the House of God and It's services.
 "People will give you many reasons why they do not attend church, but In a great majority of cases the reason whv men and women habltually absent themaelves from the service of Gods house is because the house of God brings God near. and makes men un- comfortable In sin, and their desire to hide themselves, moro or less distinct, leads them to stay away From the house of God. But Adam did not suc- ceed in hiding from God. neither will vou succeed-no man ever succeeded in hiding from God. God said to Adam Where art thou? and Adam had to come from his hiding place, and meet God face to face, and make full dec laration of all his sins. And, sooner or later, every man and woman in this building will have to come from their hiding place, and meet the all-hoiy GOd face to face, and make a full -declara- ton of just where they stand In Ills presence.
 .I believe God is in this place to- night. He is putting the same ques- tIon to each one of you: Where art thou7 Where do you stand aS to spiritual and eternal thinEs? Where ao you stand as regards God. as re- cards heaven. aa regards righteous asss. as regards Christ. As regards etSrnity--where art thou?

AFTERNOON .MEETTNa.

stYe have not because ye ask not"
 That verse from James iv 2, which he said, of all the verses in the Bible, was one of the most pregnant with meaning. pr. sTorrey selected as the text for his third revival sermon.
 why Is it,'' he asked, '.that we have not? WAy is 1t that todsy we do not make the progress in Christianity that the people made at the time of Christi"
 Tn the Apostolic Gospels, we see that the Lord added to the church daily. Tn every one of the twenty eight chapters there is the, same note of victory, the story of steady growth. of unfailing progres, of daily success If ask. Why this Is not true today7' the answer might be. there iS too much opposition.' TO that I would reply, that the opposition to Chrtsfianity to- day is as chiid's play to the opposition that those early Christians met with, and conquered when they carried the banners of Christ triumphant from Je- rusalem to Rome.
 'Tn Acts if. 42, And these continued Steadfastly in prayera and In Acts vi. 4.,. We will give ourselves steadfastly to prayer'-in those two verses Is found the reason. If you want success, ask for 1t. If you wish to succeed, pray. In those early days Christians suc- eeeded because they prayed to the God, who answers prayers Every preacher gave himself up to just two things prayer and the mtnisterIng of the Word. Today a great many people, professed Christians, do not believe that their prayers are answered In a material way, do not believe that God will give them an object asked for, but that the response to their prayers is surely spiritual. That they are only spiritually benefited. by the act of praying. lifting themselves up by their spiritual boot-straps as it were.
 "We live Tn a day of a machine~Inade church. We are trying to make our machinery is simply perfect; 1t couldn't be improved upon. But when we see its lack of success, we are apt to look around for another wheel to add to it, another cog to fit in. But 1t isn't more wheels that our machinery needs-it needs in that machinery the spirit of a living Being.
 F "The devil just looks at the church machinery today and laughs!
 s.1othing svails without earnest, per- sistent prayer, the faith that won't take no for an answer. When the devil sees that, he is frightened. He knows that before prayer of that kind he ls noWerless.
 ~Prayer is the key that unlocks the doors to the store houses of Gods om- nipotent grace and power. God can do all things. He will do all things for prayer. Progress is in exact pro- portion to the amount of time and heart spent in prayer. Growth in the mind and the heart of Jesus is in ex-
