These words come from the heart of one who loves, honors, and reverences him for his character and his deeds." THESE WORDS CAME FROM THE HEART OF ONE WHO LOVES HONORS AND REVERENCES HIM FOR HIS CHARACTER AND HIS DEEDS
est of us were so jealous of his winning throngs that we couldn’t see the good in him. And it hurt Dr. Conwell so much that for ten years he did not come to our conferences. But all this was changed long ago. Now no minister is so welcomed as he is, and I don’t believe that there ever has been a single time since he started coming again that he hasn’t been asked to say something to us. We got over our jealousy long ago and we all love him.” Nor is it only that the clergymen of his own denomination admire him, for not long ago, such having been Dr. Conwell’s triumph in the city of his adoption, the rector of the most powerful and aristocratic church in Philadelphia voluntarily paid lofty tribute to his aims and ability, his work and his personal worth. “He is an inspiration to his brothers in the ministry of Jesus Christ,” so this Episcopalian rector wrote. “He is a friend to all that is good, a foe to all that is evil, a strength to the weak, a comforter to the sorrowing, a man of God. T THE REST OF US WERE SO JEALOUS OF HIS WINNING THRONGS THAT WE WOULDN'T SEE THE GOOD IN HIM AND IT HURT DOCTOR CONWELL SO MUCH THAT FOR TEN YEARS HE DID NOT COME TO OUR CONFERENCES BUT ALL THIS WAS CHANGED LONG AGO NOW NO MINISTER IS SO WELCOMED AS HE IS AND I DON'T BELIEVE THAT THERE HAS EVER BEEN A SINGLE TIME SINCE HE STARTED COMING AGAIN THAT HE HAS NOT BEEN ASKED TO SAY SOMETHING TO US WE GOT OVER OUR JEALOUSY LONG AGO AND WE ALL LOVE HIM NOR IS IT ONLY THAT THE CLERGYMAN OF HIS OWN DENOMINATION ADMIRE HIM NOT LONG AGO SUCH HAVING BEEN DOCTOR CONWELL'S TRIUMPH IN THE CITY OF HIS ADOPTION THAT THE RECTOR OF THE MOST POWERFUL AND ARISTOCRATIC CHURCH IN PHILADELPHIA VOLUNTARILY PAID LOFTY TRIBUTE TO HIS AIMS AND ABILITY HIS WORK AND HIS PERSONAL WORTH HE IS AN INSPIRATION TO HIS BROTHERS IN THE MINISTRY OF JESUS CHRIST SO THIS EPISCOPALIAN LECTOR WROTE FOR HE IS A FRIEND OF ALL THAT IS GOOD IN A FOE THAT IS ALL OF EVIL A STRENGTH TO THE WEAK A COMFORTER TO THE SORROWING A MAN OF GOD
