Dr. Torrey on Tracts. At a gathering of Christian workers, Dr. H. A. Torrey, the eminent evangel- ist, made the following statement. concerning, the use of tracts in Christian work: " T h e re are two kinds of ammunition I always carry with me. I always carry the Bible, and always carry a, bundle of tracts. . . 1 was in Christian. work a good many years. I had been a minister of the Gospel several years, and been chairman of this convention once, before it even came into my head that tracts were of very much use in Christian work. T had somehow grown up with the notion that tracts were all rubbish, and therefore I did not take the trouble to read them, and f ar less take the trouble to circulate them.

" T h e world became very small when I saw the reality, purpose and possible imminence of the coming of my Lord. I t was that little tract that did i t !
