A KKM.VKKAIil.K MAN.
The story of the Kev. .Dr. Kussell II. Conwell, dead in j
Philadelphia at the ajre of Si!, fs one of tho most ieniaik-i
able the history of the race. It is of a man who earned '
millions of dollars on the lecture platform and devoted the i
money to helping others as fast as he earned it.
InNiddition to his work as a lecturer, he built up a jrreat I
congregation in Philadelphia as a Baptist clergyman, found- j
id Tamplc univei'sity, two hospitals ainkJielped thousand ; !
of worthy youth to an education. Ills experience was of '
the broadest. He had lived tho life oT a soldier, serving:
as nn officer in the Civil war;. had practiced law, served as:
a newspaperman ..ami immigration agent, and had tiavcled
throughout the world. It has loen estimated that he1
caned more than ?ll.ono,00t. lie had delivered hu; L-c-j
Uire, "Acres of Diamonds," fi,l."2 times. One of the names!
given him was "the penniless millionaire." As he w as eon-'
stantly giving away his earnings, it is assumed that at his
death he was almost penniless, but tho wealth of the ie-:
gaid m which he is held by his fellowmen is licyoud esti
mate. 'the career of Kussell II. Conwell is one of those refolds
in which the race must ever take pride.
