That the literary effusions of Elbert
Hubbard, otherwise known an "Fra
Elbertus." are "tom-foolery and tom
myrot," la the Arm opinion of Dr. Tor
rey. He said so last night He ex
pressed amazement that any Intelli
gent man or woman would read the
periodicals published by Mr. Hubbard.
Dr. Torrey admitted that
_ _ that Mr. Hubbard
had written one work that contained
Some good, and that Is bis “Message to
Garcia.”
Dr. Torrey’s main charge against El
bert Hubbard was that “He wrote an
article eulogizing a common woman,
whom he afterwards married, divorc
4 Ing his wife to do so.” He also said
* that Robert Ingersoll died with a smile
on his lips, “but nobody," concluded
Dr. Torrey, "who lived at the time,
dared to say that Robert Ingersoll died
with a smile on his Ups. It would be
extremely foolish to believe It now.”
Dr. Torrey arraigned the fathers and
! mothers of Montgomery who have no
' religion. He said:
“Since I have been In this city a
great number of young people nave
come to me suffering Intense agopy.
In each Instance I found that the rea
son for their suffering was the fact
that their parents are out of Christ. I
tell you, parents of Montgomery, that
If you have no regard for your own
salvation, you should have foe the sal
vation of your own ohlldren. ‘ It Is a
terrible responsibility that Is resting
upon you. If these children go to a
Chrlstless grave, the fault will be up
on you.”
Both meetings were well attended
yesterday. It was announced after the
evening meeting that seven engineers
and ten conductors of one division on
the Louisville and Nashville Railroad,
have been converted during the revi
val.
There were eighteen conversions yes
terday, making a total number of 1,056.
In announcing the collection, Mr. Ed
i* munds explained that all of Dr. Tor
rey's books. co»tuinlng his sermons,
are on sale at the auditorium.
"The Baptism of the Holy Spirit: Its
Necessity and Who Can Have It,” was
the subject of Dr .Torrey’s sermon yes
terday afternoon. He said that every
man and woman has been promised the
baptism with the Holy Spirit, and is
under obligations to attain it. He said
In part.
"when the twelve apostles were
about to go out and preach the gospel
to all the world. Jesus Christ told them
to alt down In Jerusalem and wait un
■tll they were Imbued with the power
from on high.” It has been said that
those apostles were untaught. There
never wae a greater mistake. They
were four years Instructed In a divin
ity school, of which Christ was the

■ole and divine head They had only
to tell what they had aeen and heard
him do. and yet He would not let them
preach until they had been baptized
with the Holy Ohost.
"Therefore It seema to me It la the
moat daring preaumptton for any ordi
nary mortal to attempt to preach the
gospel, teach a Sunday School class or
do any other kind ot Christian work
without being Brat baptised with the
Holy Ohoat. Men say, ~1t a man is ed
ucated. or orthodox, then he is quail
fled to preach the gospel. Christ nays
they are not qualified until they have
received the power from on high.
"Before I ordained a man Into the
ministry. I would ask him If he had
been baptized with the Holy Ohoat. If
he could not definitely answer ‘Yes,' I
would not ordain him. Why, Christ
Himself did not begin to preach pub
lloly until He was more than 30 years
old, and He had been baptised with the
Holy Spirit, and He was a very God,
yet a man. Nobody can serve Ood. no
matter hew brilliant he may be, un
less he has been definitely baptized with
the Holy Spirit.
"The Bible tells ua who can be bap4
tlsed with the Holy Spirit In Acts II,
33, we read: 'For the promise (that is,
the promlso of the baptism) Is unto
you. and unto your children and all
that are afar oil. as many as the Lord
our Ood shall call unto Him.' So, If
&havs not bean baptised with the
8plrlt, It is simply because
you
have not claimed your birthright If
you and I can be baptised with the
Holy Spirit, then we must be bap
tized."
Dr. Torrey closed by saying that a
really orthodox minister can preacb
' ‘ straight
Into
his congregation right
hell unless he' has been baptized with
the Holy Spirit, not to mention what
those preachers will do to their con
gregations who are not preaching the
truth, or are distorting It. He also
stated that If a father and mother did
not seek the baptism the price they
might be called upon to pay. Is the
eternal punishment for their children.
He eald the baptism with the Holy
Spirit lg a most solemn question, and
that it Is the duty of every Christian
to have It.
After the sermon, sn Dr. Torrey’s
Invitation, a large number of Chris
tians arose to signify that they knew
that they had already been so bap
tised.
Night Service.
"Refuge of Lies," was the subject of
Dr. Torrey’s sermon last night. The
subject was: "The hall shall sweep
away the refuge of lies." Islah, xxvlll;
17. Dr. Torrey said In part:
"Every man needs a refuge. Every
one of us needs a refuge from four
thlngB—the accusation of our con
science, the power of sin, the displeas
ure of Qod, and the wrath to corner
Almost every man ,ha» something that
be Is trusting in as a refuge. The
trouble Is not that men have no refuge
but that they have a, false one. what
our text characterizes as a refuge of
lies. Ood announced to Israel, through
His servant Isaiah, and announces to
us tonight, that there Is a day coming
for testing the refuge of men, and In
that day of testing, tne hall will sweep
away the refuge of lies. Is your rof
ugc a true one or a false one? Is It a
refuge that will stand the test of the
hour that Is coming, or Is It a refuge
that will go down Tn a day of storm?
Can we tell? We can. with absolute
certainty.
“There are four common sense tests
that you oan apply to every hope, that
will show clearly whether It Is a true
hope or a refuge of Ilea Those four
tests are: first, a true refuge must be
one that meets the highest demand of
our own conscience. If It does not meet
the highest demand of our conscience.
It Is not a refuge from the accusations
of our own conscience, neither Is It s
refuge from the displeasure of Ood
for If our own heart .condemn ue. Ood
Is greater than our heart and knowetk
all things. •
"In the second place. It must be one,
trust In which Is making you a better
man. If that refuge tn which you are
trusting Is not making you s better
man from day to day, It Is not a refuge
from, the power of sin. neither Is It a
refuge from the wrath to come; for
you may rest assured that any bops
that does not save you from the pow
er of sin tn the life that now Is can
never save.you tfrom the consequences
of sin In the life which Is to coma.
"In the third place, It must stand the
test of the dying hour. A refuge that
only comforts you when you are well
and strong, but will fall in that dread
hour when you are face to face with
death, God. and eternity, Is absolutely
valueless.
“Fourth, It must be a refuge that
will stand the test of the Judgment
day. Unless It stands that great tear
It Is absolutely worthless.
Dr. Torrey applied these four com
mon sense tests to some of the refuges
of lies In which'men are trusting to
day. He named five of these refuges
(1) Belief In our own morality and
goodness: (2) Faith in the badness of
others: (3) Universallsm; (4) Infidel
ity; (5) Religion. None of them stood
the tests that he put them to.
His remarks about religion and unl
versaltsm were particularly interesting.
Of religion Dr. Torrey said:
"Religion newer saved anybody." He
said that people who boast that they
have been baptized and confirmed and
are church members and give to the
poor, can do all that and still "go
right straight to hell" He asserted
that a great deal of religion does not
make people one bit better. He said
that he knew some “pillars of the
church who would cut you as wide
open in a business deal as any man In
town " He declared that that variety
of religion will send a man to the
deepest hell there is.
Of universallsm he said:
"As a rule, the profession of univer
salism Is an exeiise for a life of sin,
and a comfort for the continuation in
a ljfe of sin. He showed that the be
lief that Ood is too good to condemn
anyone, that there is no hell, no future
punishment for sin. did not stand any
single one of the tests. Hr did not
say that all Universalists hold to their
belief because they desire to sin, how
ever.
Dr. Torrey Spoke at length upon in
fidelity. He said, among other things:
"The next refuge of lies—infidelity.
How many a man Is trying to find com
fort tonight in Infidelity. Let us ap
ply the tests. Does your Infidelity
meet the highest demand of your own
conscience? When conscience points
out your sin and demands a new I4fe
does It satisfy your conscience to say.
'Well, I don't believe in the Bible, I
don't believe In Ood. I don’t believe
that JesuS Christ is the Son of God.
Does that satisfy your conscleniy? If
ailed «
It does, you are not fit to be ca
human being. Is your Infidelity mak
Ing you a better man? I have known
a great many infidels. My ministry has
been largely a ministry to sceptics,
agnostics and Infidels. I have had their
confidence, and I have yet to meet the
first Infidel that was made better by
Infidelity I have known men whose
characters have been undermined by
Infidelity—countless men. Oh, I have
had young men some to me with break
ing hearts, with saddest confessions of
Immorality and of ruin, and I have had
them say to me time and again, 'The
first step was listening to Colonel In
gersoll,' or some other Infldel'lecturer,
or reading an Infidel book I tell you,
men, you young men especially, who
are trifling with Infidelity, you are
undermining the foundations of sound
character. Infidelity Is sowing the
world with wickedness."
Dr. Torrey concluded with a descrip
tion of the heau lful death of Dwight
L. Moody, which he contrasted with
the terrible death-beds of infidels whom
he had known, and whose belief had
not stood the test of the dying hour.
