"Oh, I've heard something about it; somebody said that somebody watched me, or something of the kind. But I don't remember anything about it myself." OH I'VE HEARD SOMETHING ABOUT IT SOMEBODY SAID SOMETHING WATCHED ME OR SOMETHING OF THE KIND BUT I DON'T REMEMBER ANYTHING ABOUT IT MYSELF
re marked similarities in these masters over men; and Conwell possesses, as Sullivan possessed, a wonderful memory for faces and names. Naturally, Russell Conwell stands steadily and strongly for good citizenship. But he never talks boastful Americanism. He seldom speaks in so many words of either Americanism or good citizenship, but he constantly and silently keeps the American flag, as the symbol of good citizenship, before his people. An American flag is prominent in his church; an American flag is seen in his home; a beautiful American flag is up at his Berkshire place and surmounts a lofty tower where, when he was a boy, there stood a mighty tree at the top of which was an eagle’s nest, which has given him a name for his home, for he terms it “The Eagle’s Nest.” Remembering a long story that I had read of his climbing to the top of that tree, though it was a well-nigh impossible feat, and securing the nest by great perseverance and daring, I asked him if the story were a true one. ULOUS THERE WERE MARKED SIMILARITIES IN THESE MASTERS OVER MEN AND CONWELL POSSESSES AS SULLIVAN POSSESSED A WONDERFUL MEMORY FOR FACES AND NAMES NATURALLY RUSSELL CONWELL STANDS STEADILY AND STRONGLY FOR GOOD CITIZENSHIP BUT HE NEVER TALKS BOASTFUL AMERICANISM HE SELDOMLY SPEAKS IN SO MANY WORDS OF EITHER AMERICANISM OR GOOD CITIZENSHIP BUT HE CONSISTENTLY AND SILENTLY KEEPS THE AMERICAN FLAG AS THE SYMBOL OF GOOD CITIZENSHIP BEFORE HIS PEOPLE AN AMERICAN FLAG IS PROMINENT IN HIS CHURCH AN AMERICAN FLAG IS SEEN IN HIS HOME A BEAUTIFUL AMERICAN FLAG IS UP IN HIS BERKSHIRE PLACE AND SURMOUNTS A LOFTY TOWER WHERE WHEN HE IS A BOY THERE STOOD A MIGHTY TREE AT THE TOP OF WHICH WAS AN EAGLE'S NEST WHICH WAS GIVEN THE NAME FOR THE HOME FOR HE TERMS IT THE EAGLE'S NEST REMEMBERING A LONG STORY THAT I HAD READ OF HIS CLIMBING TO THE TOP OF THAT TREE I THOUGHT THAT IT WAS WELL NIGH AN IMPOSSIBLE FEAT AND SECURING THE NEST BY GREAT PERSEVERANCE AND DARING I ASKED HIM IF THE STORY WERE A TRUE ONE
