"I am in Jerusalem! And here at Gethsemane and at the Tomb of Christ"  reading thus far, one expects that any man, and especially a minister, is sure to say something regarding the associations of the place and the effect of these associations on his mind; but Conwell is always the man who is different  "And here at Gethsemane and at the Tomb of Christ, I pray especially for the Temple University." That is Conwellism! I AM IN JERUSALEM AND HERE AT GASEMINE AND AT THE TOMB OF CHRIST READING THUS FAR ONE EXPECTS THAT ANY MAN AND ESPECIALLY A MINISTER IS SURE TO SAY SOMETHING REGARDING THE ASSOCIATIONS OF THE PLACE AND THE EFFECT OF THOSE ASSOCIATIONS ON HIS MIND BUT CONWELL IS ALWAYS THE MAN WHO IS DIFFERENT AND HERE IT IS GASEMITE AND AT THE TOMB OF CHRIST I PRAY ESPECIALLY FOR THE TEMPLE UNIVERSITY THAT IS CONWELLION
 whether or not he had planned any details for such an effort. I knew that thus far it might only be one of his dreams--but I also knew that his dreams had a way of becoming realities. I had a fleeting glimpse of his soaring vision. It was amazing to find a man of more than three-score and ten thus dreaming of more worlds to conquer. And I thought, what could the world have accomplished if Methuselah had been a Conwell!--or, far better, what wonders could be accomplished if Conwell could but be a Methuselah! He has all his life been a great traveler. He is a man who sees vividly and who can describe vividly. Yet often his letters, even from places of the most profound interest, are mostly concerned with affairs back home. It is not that he does not feel, and feel intensely, the interest of what he is visiting, but that his tremendous earnestness keeps him always concerned about his work at home. There could be no stronger example than what I noticed in a letter he wrote from Jerusalem. T ASK WHETHER OR NOT HE HAD PLANNED ANY DETAILS OF SUCH AN EFFORT I KNEW THAT THUS FAR IT MIGHT ONLY BE ONE OF HIS DREAMS BUT I ALSO KNEW THAT HIS DREAMS HAD A WAY OF BECOMING REALITIES I HAD A FLEETING GLIMPSE OF HIS SOARING VISION IT WAS AMAZING TO FIND A MAN OF MORE THAN THREE SCORE AND TEN THUS DREAMING OF MORE WORLDS TO CONQUER AND I THOUGHT WHAT COULD THE WORLD HAVE ACCOMPLISHED IF METHUSELAH HAD BEEN A CONWELL OR FAR BETTER WHAT WONDERS WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN ACCOMPLISHED IF CONWELL COULD HAVE BEEN A METHUSELAH HE HAS ALL HIS LIFE BEEN A GREAT TRAVELER HE IS A MAN WHO SEES VIVIDLY AND WHO CAN DESCRIBE VIVIDLY YET OFTEN HIS LETTERS EVEN FROM PLACES OF THE MOST PROFOUND INTEREST ARE MOSTLY CONCERNED WITH AFFAIRS BACK HOME IT IS NOT THAT HE DOES NOT FEEL AND FEEL INTENSELY THE INTEREST OF WHAT HE IS VISITING BUT THAT HIS TREMENDOUS EARNESTNESS KEEPS HIM ALWAYS CONCERNED ABOUT HIS WORK AT HOME THERE COULD BE NO STRONGER EXAMPLE THAN WHAT I NOTICED IN THE LETTER HE WROTE FROM JERUSALEM
