"I said to her that I would take her in, and I did so, and I said to her that we should some day have a room big enough for all who should come. I SAID TO HER THAT I WOULD TAKE HER IN AND I DID SO AND I SAID TO HER THAT WE SHOULD SOME DAY HAVE A ROOM BIG ENOUGH FOR ALL WHO SHOULD COME
uickly became so popular under his leadership that the church services and Sunday-school services were alike so crowded that there was no room for all who came, and always there were people turned from the doors. One afternoon a little girl, who had eagerly wished to go, turned back from the Sunday-school door, crying bitterly because they had told her that there was no more room. But a tall, black-haired man met her and noticed her tears and, stopping, asked why it was that she was crying, and she sobbingly replied that it was because they could not let her into the Sunday-school. “I lifted her to my shoulder,” says Dr. Conwell, in telling of this; for after hearing the story elsewhere I asked him to tell it to me himself, for it seemed almost too strange to be true. “I lifted her to my shoulder”--and one realizes the pretty scene it must have made for the little girl to go through the crowd of people, drying her tears and riding proudly on the shoulders of the kindly, tall, dark man!
