Or. Torrey Delivers Great
Sermon Before Second Lar
gest Crowd OF the Revival
"The Holy City" Tonight.

The second largest audience of the
Torrey meeting assembled at the
auditorium, Tenth street and Broad
way. last night to hear DR.. Torrey' s
sermon on the Ten Commandments.
The crowd was only slightly smaller
than the one Sunday night.
Mr.. McEwan sang as beautifully
as ever. and tonight will sing "The
Holy City"
DR.. Torrey sook for his text last
night the Interpretation of the hand
writing on the wall: weighed in the
balances and found wanting"
He opened his discourse with a
wonderful description of Belshazzer's
feast in all its oriental splendor and
its dramatic attending circums. Rnce.
and dsnouement.
He included among his topics the
FIRST and great commandment" and
the Golden Rule. and touching upor
the latter he shattered an illusion tc
which many people outside The
church have been elinging; for he
said when a man declares he has nc
ure for religion, that the "golder
rule is good enough for him." he
asks that man II he is living up tC
the golden rule, and invariably he
hnds the man is not

said DR.. Torrey is not negative.
Iprohibitory command, but a positive
one 1t does not command that you
refrain from doing to others that
which would be unpleasant IL done
TO you; directly commands you to do
something for others.
do you sell to others as you
would that Others would sell to you, -
he asked, "Or do you try to get the
highest price for the poorest goods?"
do you buy from others as you
would that others should buy from
you? Or do you so around hunting
for bargains?"
To night DR.. Torrey viii preach
on Something Absolutely Sure" His
sermon last night was:
ANY one who loves the drama
should read the Bible. for the Bible
is the most dramatic book that was
ever written. There is nothing TO
compare with II in Eschylus or Sop
hocles or Eur.pides among the an
clients, or in Shakespeare among the
moderns. in striking situations. in
graphic delineation, and in startling
ldenouement.
"One OF the most intensely inter-
esting and at the same times sugges-
tive scenes in the Bible is that de-
scrlbed in Daniel v-Belshazzar' s
feast. Belshazzar was not the SUI
preme king of Babylon. Nabonidus,
his father, was king, and had asso-
ciated him with himself on the
throne; Belshazzar was second ruler
in the kingdom. The critics used TO
tell US there never was such a king
as Belshazzar; but Sir William
Rawl!nson dug up tablet from Ma
bonidus himself, On which he speaks
OF his son Belhazzar; and again the
critics as so often before. were
brought to grief by the discoveries
of modern archaeology.

preme command in the city. His

"In whose balances was Belshazzer

'Belshazzar Is the greatest OF our

Not in the balances OF human phil

Every man and woman here to-
