them by his own efforts by trying to obey . divine law outside of hfmself, but if he has the Holy Spirit within him. God overcomes his evil thoughts and deeds through the Holy Spirit. When you realize your own utter in- ability to keep the law of God. and just surrender to the Holy Spirit, you will not have a day of defeat, but will be always victorious over sin. pr. Torrey said that there are many Christians living in seventh Ro- mans" That is. they are trying to conquer sin by their own efforts. be- lieving In . holy law outside of them. pr. Torrey saAd that the only way to succeed is to take the Holy Spirit in your heart as a living Personality.
 "There are two ways that people rule their lives. Some people believe they are governed by a divine law out side themselves; some that they are governed by . Divine Person inside themselves. The drst way Is bondage; {; the second Is Christianity. Dr. Torrey said that he waS sorry for the first kind of people, whom he called "mor- bid Christians" He said that they were always worrying whether they had obeyed Gods law or not. The second kind of Christians always know whe- ther they have violated Gods law or not because they have the Holy Spirit to tell them. A Christian life is not a, life by rule; . Christian life Is a life led by a living. loving person. that dwells within our hearts. pr. Torrey said:
 If you are led to do anything that is not in accordance with the Book. you are not led by the Holy Spirit. for the Bible Is the Holy Spirits Book. Test your leading by the Book, and you will never go wrong"
 pr. Torrey finished by saying that the Holy Spirit does not bear witness to us, but He bears witness with our spirits, flooding the soul with sense of n-ship to God. He emphasized the fact that a Christian should not fear God but should love and trust Him. and be absolutely without fear of Him "Oh" he concluded, God is looking down on you In this hall today. just waiting for you to say Father. as if you meant it."

 "who Then Can Be Saved" was the subject of pr. Torrey's sermon last night. "Who then can be savedr'-- Mark x: 2s. was the text.
 pr. Torrey showed that anyone can be saved in an instant no matter how vile q sinner he might be. by simply believing on Jesus Christ. He said that believes on" in the Bible has just the same meaning thdt OCitNSC eo- day. It means to have faith in." So. to believe on Christ means to have faith in what Christ claims to be.
 pr. Torrey showed that Christ claimed to be six things: First: He claimed to be the Sin-bearer; second: He claims to be the Dehverer from sin; third: He claims to be teacher sent from God, divineiy inspired. absolute ly infallible, who taught the very words of God; fourth: He Is our Lord and Master; fifth: He claims to be the Light of the World. and sixth: Christ claimed to be our Divine Lord. God in the Flesh. If anyone believes on Christ in this way, he will know he Is saved because Christ Himself said so, and, believing. will show his beliei by shining no more. and by studying Gods Word.
 It was in this connection that I'D. Tor rey made his remarks about popular novels. He said that many persons spend more time over their newspapers than they do over their Bibles, ana more time novel reading than they ao Bible reading. That Is not the case. he said, with a real Christian.
