He de livered hlH first lecture In 1S62 and has delivered from 100 to 2:25 lectures every year since. Even old staid Phil adelphia nits up and takes notice when he aoppears In that city. The Phila delphia Times recently paid: "Con well la the only lecturer In America Alio can fill a hall In this city with 3H00 people at a dollar a ticket." Conwell'a record reads like a- ro nnce. At the colse of the war hi 'I graduated from the Albany law uni versity. In 1 ! 6 7 he represented Min nesota as its Immigration agent in, lermany. One year Inter he was cor respondent on the New York Tribune. Three years later made a tour of the vorld In the Interest of that pper. Ills biography of Spurgreon has reach id a sale of 125,000 volumes, in four months. After practicing law eight years In I'oston he was ordained to the m!al t;-y and accepted n call to Grace fiap- t'sl church of Philadelphia, which Ini- iicdliitely entered upon nn estraor 'Inary career of prosperity and I li tho larirest Baptist church In America. He built a temple In 1831 with u seating capacity of 4200, unii luring the past 10 years hols popular ty has spread so generally that ad mission Is only obtained by ticket, nnc thousands are often turned away. i'"rom the proceeds he has received from his lectures he founded a uni versity that never closed its doors night or day, run especially for tin benefit of the common people, and In conjunction with his work he also founded a hospital of the first order, and Is credited with assisting- tnort men to secure an education than any other single man In America. Of his 30 lectures that have made him famous one, "Acres of Diamonds," he has delivered 2600 times In the past 29 years. Kussell H. t'onwell was born In a iionntaln home.
