 DAY WRITING Ministers Union is Very Anxious to Gather in big Sum. Un. Tssrsy Announeea Last Night That Hs WsalA Tell of his Experience at . Dance In Australia
 Tonight.

When Dr. Torrey was in Ballarat, Australia, he received and accepted an Invitation to dance. His experience ak that dance wore such that he has never been to another. He will tell ell about them in his sermon tonight and has especially invited dance going church members to come and hear him.
 So many persons swarmed to the re- vival meetings, yesterday, that the ad- visibility of an overflow meeting was seriously discussed, and finally given up e impractioable. Arrangements tweYe made so that many were allowed Ito stand In the rear of the auditorium Crowds were. nevertheless, turned away.
 The collections of both meetings, yes kterday. will go to pr. Torrey. Bob" kJouss, the evangelist. announced the Isvsning collection. In his announce sment, he appealed to the people Of Montgomery to show their apprecia- ltion of Dr. Torrey in a material way" He said that he had often heard 1t said that Montgomery people did things in a "biE way" but he doubted whether they did or not, and this was their chance to "show him." He said that Dr. Torrey seemed to be absolutely un- interested in the matter, but that the members of the Ministers Union were very much interested and, if the peo- ole would pleases them, they would go very far down in their pockets indeed, It was a good appeal he made too. While the collection was being taken, pr. Torrey. arose and walked to the front of the platform and made little speech. He was smiling over the earnestness of MT. Jones and the other ministers Ills words were to this effect:
 "Friends, really am not very much interested in this collection. I have been years building up a reputation for not asking for money. It was hard work and want to keep that reputa- ton. Indeed don't need the money. Why. last year, when almost every body else was making less money than ever. God sent me more money than He ever did before in the space of twelve months. Again, if money-mak- ing was my ambition, I could make s1o0 a day writing for I have stand- ing offer of s25, for each thousand words from a publishing house. and am able to dictate 4,000 words a day.
 So, I don't want to think that any one has given me anything that they pan't well afford. I really have money enough, and 1t Is not that I am work fng for, but for souls. My reward is great indeed when I think, that through mo, God has worked upon the hearts and minds of men As I say, I don't need the money, and I don't want any body to give any more than they very we'll afford"
 That is the substance of what Dr. Tcrrey said. and his words were full pf conviction and earnestness. There was not doubt at all but what the nnin- tstsrs especially Bob" Jones were very much more worried about raising @ large contrib ution than was Dr. Tor rey. They appeared to feel that the honor of Montgomery was at stake and it's pride also. Many things were said about pr. Torrey in the announce. ments that were an extremely long ways from being uncomplimentary. and altogether, 1t needed just such an oc- casion to prove that. while Dr. Torrey believed in an appeal to the reason, in stead of to the emotions. nevertheless he has won a place for himself in the hearts of the Montgomery people, the expression of which feeling last night very visible affected him. The amount of the collection will not be known un- til the end of the week.
 The subject of Dr. Torreys sermon Tuesday night. will be The Refuge oi Lies" According to MT. Jacoby, thi: ts Dr. Torrey's best sermon. Infidels
