The faithful, self sacrificing faculty, now numbering two hundred and fifty three professors, have done the real work. For that I can claim but little credit; and I mention the University here only to show that my "fifty years on the lecture platform" has necessarily been a side line of work. THE FAITHFUL SELF SACRIFICING FACULTY NOW NUMBERING TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY THREE PROFESSORS HAVE DONE THE REAL WORK FOR I CAN CLAIM BUT LITTLE CREDIT AND I MENTION THE UNIVERSITY HERE ONLY TO SHOW THAT MY FIFTY YEARS ON THE LECTURE PLATFORM HAS NECESSARILY BEEN A SIDE LINE OF WORK
 without loss to me. God and man have ever been patient with me. Yet this period of lecturing has been, after all, a side issue. The Temple, and its church, in Philadelphia, which, when its membership was less than three thousand members, for so many years contributed through its membership over sixty thousand dollars a year for the uplift of humanity, has made life a continual surprise; while the Samaritan Hospital’s amazing growth, and the Garretson Hospital’s dispensaries, have been so continually ministering to the sick and poor, and have done such skilful work for the tens of thousands who ask for their help each year, that I have been made happy while away lecturing by the feeling that each hour and minute they were faithfully doing good. Temple University, which was founded only twenty-seven years ago, has already sent out into a higher income and nobler life nearly a hundred thousand young men and women who could not probably have obtained an education in any other institution.
