His answer always was positively stated and thoroughly supported by plain statements of the Word of God. When there could be found in the Bible a specific word on any subject under controversy, the Scriptures were the last court of appeal for Dr. Torrey, and he would bid fallible mortals, whoever they might be, to hold their peace.” Learning to W ield the “Sword” Dr. Torrey's regard for the very words of Scripture enabled him to speak with a voice of authority.

In this faithful testimony, he was not unlike T. C. Horton, Lyman and Milton Stewart, and other early Institute leaders, of blessed memory. During these days when fear of all kinds is wide spread, there is more need than ever for messages of assurance for the people of God. Eternal Certainties It is fitting that any gathering that recalls Dr. Torrey’s name and his birthday (January 28, 1856) should provide for a forceful decla ration of those truths for which he stood — truths that put iron in m en’s blood and render them fearless in the face of any foe. In the Fourth Annual Torrey Memo rial Bible Conference this provision has been made. The meetings have been planned, not for the eulogizing of any individual, but for the recall ing of the matchless grace o[ God.
