Such a fact is almost staggering  and it is more staggering to realize what good is done in the world by this man, who does not earn for himself, but uses his money in immediate helpfulness. And one can neither think nor write with moderation when it is further realized that far more good than can be done directly with money he does by uplifting and inspiring with this lecture. SUCH A FACT IS ALMOST STAGGERING AND IT IS MORE STAGGERING TO REALIZE WHAT GOOD IS DONE IN THE WORLD BY THIS MAN WHO DOES NOT EARN FOR HIMSELF BUT USES THE MONEY IN IMMEDIATE HELPFULNESS AND ONE CAN NEITHER THINK NOR WRITE WITH MODERATION WHEN IT IS FURTHER REALIZED THAT FAR MORE GOOD THAN CAN BE DONE DIRECTLY WITH MONEY HE DOES BY UPLIFTING AND INSPIRING WITH HIS LECTURE
 exceptionally prominent man who was earning a large salary, and she told him that her husband was so unselfishly generous with money that often they were almost in straits. And she said they had bought a little farm as a country place, paying only a few hundred dollars for it, and that she had said to herself, laughingly, after hearing the lecture, “There are no acres of diamonds on this place!” But she also went on to tell that she had found a spring of exceptionally fine water there, although in buying they had scarcely known of the spring at all; and she had been so inspired by Conwell that she had had the water analyzed and, finding that it was remarkably pure, had begun to have it bottled and sold under a trade name as special spring water. And she is making money. And she also sells pure ice from the pool, cut in winter-time and all because of “Acres of Diamonds”! Several millions of dollars, in all, have been received by Russell Conwell as the proceeds from this single lecture.
