Torrey, Dean of the Los Angeles Bible School, is a man to be appreciated for his intellectual and scholarly ability; and one who cannot well be despised by the rationalists o f the day. He is a Yale graduate and has given his life to earnest study. He has not special ized in language nor made a hobby of a single science nor gone daffy over some new philosophy, but is an all-round scholar. As a preacher of power, as, a surpassing polem ic as an intellectual .force he has few equals and far few er superiors. No man since Moody’s day has moved the Old W orld as Torrey did. In America he has played most con spic uous roles and at this w riting his in fluence is felt in China where through all the summer months he has been address ing great assemblies of English speaking people, encouraging the hearts of ortho dox m issionaries and giving anxiety to skeptical modernists.” Miss Ellen Hoffman, ’20, left October 31st for Bolivia, to take up missionary w ork under the Bolivia Indian Mission.
