Further back, in the 1830s, an account came out of Bridgewater Township in Susquehanna County, up near Montrose.

It whistled at him again and ran off.

From 1902 to 1905, R.A. Torrey conducted revival campaigns in many cities in England, Scotland, India, Australia, China, and Japan.

He established the Montrose Bible Conference in Montrose, Pennsylvania in 1908.

Then in 1912, he helped establish the Bible Institute of Los Angeles.

During that same period, he was one of three editors who published a set of 90 essays written by 64 authors, essays that took a strong stand against the poisonous liberal theology that was infecting Christianity.

These essays would eventually be published as a multi-volume set of books known as The Fundamentals.

R.A. Torrey himself authored more than 40 books.

He died in 1928. and he's buried in Montrose, Pennsylvania.
