He never felt, nor could possibly urge upon any one, contentment with a humble lot; he stands for advancement; he has no sympathy with that dictum of the smug, that has come to us from a nation tight bound for centuries by its gentry and aristocracy, about being contented with the position in which God has placed you, for he points out that the Bible itself holds up advancement and success as things desirable. HE NEVER FELT NOR COULD POSSIBLY URGE UPON ANY ONE CONTENTMENT WITH THE HUMBLE LOT HE STANDS FOR ADVANCEMENT HE HAS NO SYMPATHY WITH THAT DICTUM OF THE SMUG THAT HAS COME TO US FROM A NATION TIGHT BOUND FOR CENTURIES BY ITS GENTRY AND ARISTOCRACY ABOUT BEING CONTENTED WITH THE POSITION IN WHICH GOD HAS PLACED YOU FOR HE POINTS OUT THAT THE BIBLE ITSELF HOLDS UP ADVANCEMENT AND SUCCESS AS THINGS DESIRABLE
onwell told me personally of one case that especially interested him because it seemed to exhibit, in especial degree, the Temple possibilities; and it particularly interested me because it also showed, in high degree, the methods and personality of Dr. Conwell himself. One day a young woman came to him and said she earned only three dollars a week and that she desired very much to make more. “Can you tell me how to do it?” she said. He liked her ambition and her directness, but there was something that he felt doubtful about, and that was that her hat looked too expensive for three dollars a week! Now Dr. Conwell is a man whom you would never suspect of giving a thought to the hat of man or woman! But as a matter of fact there is very little that he does not see. But though the hat seemed too expensive for three dollars a week, Dr. Conwell is not a man who makes snap-judgments harshly, and in particular he would be the last man to turn away hastily one who had sought him out for help.
