aw more recruits, for his speeches were so persuasive, so powerful, so full of homely and patriotic feeling, that the men who heard them thronged into the ranks. And as a preacher he uses persuasion, power, simple and homely eloquence, to draw men to the ranks of Christianity. He is an orator born, and has developed this inborn power by the hardest of study and thought and practice. He is one of those rare men who always seize and hold the attention. When he speaks, men listen. It is quality, temperament, control--the word is immaterial, but the fact is very material indeed.

He avoids “elocution.” MAKE MORE SPEECHES AND DRAW MORE RECRUITS FOR HIS SPEECHES WERE SO PERSUASIVE SO POWERFUL SO FULL OF HOMELY AND PATRIOTIC FEELING THAT THE MEN WHO HEARD THEM THRONGED INTO THE RANKS AND AS A PREACHER HE USES PERSUASION POWER SIMPLE AND HOMELY ELOQUENCE TO DRAW MEN TO THE RANKS OF CHRISTIANITY HE IS AN ORATOR BORN AND HE HAS DEVELOPED THIS INBORN POWER BY THE HARDEST OF STUDY AND THOUGHT AND PRACTICE HE IS ONE OF THOSE RARE MEN WHO ALWAYS SEIZE AND HOLD THE ATTENTION WHEN HE SPEAKS MEN LISTEN IT IS QUALITY TEMPERAMENT CONTROL THE WORD IS IMMATERIAL BUT THE FACT IS VERY MATERIAL INDEED SOME QUARTER OF A CENTURY AGO CONWELL PUBLISHED A LITTLE BOOK FOR STUDENTS ON THE STUDY AND PRACTICE OF ORATORY THAT CLEAR CUT ARTICULATION IS THE CHARM OF ELOQUENCE IS ONE OF HIS INSISTED UPON STATEMENTS AND IT WELL ILLUSTRATES HIS LIFE LONG PRACTICE OF THE MAN HIMSELF FOR EVERY WORD AS HE TALKS CAN BE HEARD IN EVERY PART OF A LARGE BUILDING YET HE ALWAYS SPEAKS WITHOUT APPARENT EFFORT HE AVOIDS ELOCUTION
