EXCELLENT TALK
 MADE BY AUTHOR
 AND EVANGELIST

Dr. R. A. Torrey, author and preacher of world wide experience. addressed larger audience than usual at the First Baptist church last evening. The capa- cious auditorium of the church was filled to overflowng. and the rapt at- tention and devotional sincerity was marked feature of the meeting.
 On the platform were Dr. Lehigh, pastor, pr. POhn Logan Marquis, of the Presbyterian church. Dr. Ray ClarksOn Harker of the First Baptist church, pr. Anderson, Rock of Calvary Baptist church, and others prominent In church work
 The speakers theme last night was What Are You Waiting For" His text was Acts 22: 16. He said in part: Tt is God who asked the question through his servant Ananias, of Saul of Tarsus. And he is asking the same through me of every man and woman and child in this building that is not an openly confessed, out and out fol- lower of Jesus Christ. God is saying to you tonight: Why Tarriest Thou? What are you waiting for? Wy do you not come out tonight on the side Of Jesus Christ? 1 would have you tell me the real reason, l would have you give me an honest answer
 And then, l would sit down beside you with the word of God and show you how little is in your reason. Some one says: I am waiting until I shall be convinced. Just as soon as I am convinced that the Bible is the word of God and Jesus is the son of God, I will accept Christ as my savior and con- fess Him before the world.'"
 pr. Torrey made this offer to every one: If you will come to me at the or I ,l,o the way to find out that beyond all peradventure the Bible is Gods word, and Jesus Christ is the Sen of God"
 Now if you are an honest skeptic, you will accept that offer and if you do not accept it, never say again that you are a skeptic. You are a humbug.
 Another one says" continued the speaker. T am waiting till 1 have enough"
 There will never be another night when 1t is so easy to give up the world and accept Christ as tonight. The long CT you live fo rthe world the less en- joyment you get out of it. When you would give the world up the world will not give you up. Suppose while you are waiting until you have enjoyed the world enought you are called out of the world?"
 What shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul|" quoted the speaker.
 "I am waiting for a friend. Many are doing this. Friends waiting fol friends, loved ones for loved ones. Let me urge you to come to Christ first and bring your friends along. If youI friends love you as you love them when you come to Christ, they vii come too IL is better that you take them tC Heayer with you than that they should take you to hell with them"

The Only Difference.

The only difference between the stand for poFi-
teal harmony back of the president in time at
fsars-row. and In 1ssS, that the former &C
casfou Republican leaders made the plea for Pres-
dent Mckinley with his complete conference.-the
President Wilson according to his custom and nature
has gone straight to the people.
All the great Republican leaders appealed TO the
country to return Republican congress, while the
issues Of the spanish-American were still un-
settled. Theodore Roosevelt, then candidate for
governor of New York urging that congress remain
in the hands of the Democratic party said in cam
paign speech;
Remember that whether you will not, your
votes this year will be viewed by the nations OF Eu-
rope from standpoint only. They will draw no
fine distinctions refusal TO sustain the president
this year will in their eyes, be read refusal to
sustain the war and sustain the efforts Of our
peace commission to secure the fruits Of Such
a refusal may not nconceivably bring about rup-
ure the peace negotiations. 1t will give heart to
defeated antagonists; it Will make possible the
interference of those doubtful neutral nations who in
this struggle have wished ill.,
In that same campaign, former President Ben
jamin Harrison wrote in the Philadelphia North
