That is a curious thing about him  how much there is of romance in his life! Worshiped to the end by John Ring; left for dead all night at Kenesaw Mountain; calmly singing "Nearer, my God, to Thee," to quiet the passengers on a supposedly sinking ship; saving lives even when a boy; never disappointing a single audience of the thousands of audiences he has arranged to address during all his years of lecturing! THAT IT WAS A CURIOUS THING ABOUT HIM HOW MUCH THERE WAS OF ROMANCE IN HIS LIFE WORSHIPPED TO THE END BY JOHN RING LEFT FOR DEAD ALL NIGHT AT KENNESHAW MOUNTAIN CALMLY SINGING NEARER MY GOD TO THEE TO QUIET THE PASSENGERS ON A SUPPOSEDLY SINKING SHIP SAVING LIVES EVEN WHEN A BOY NEVER DISAPPOINTING A SINGLE AUDIENCE OF THOUSANDS OF AUDIENCES HE HAS ARRANGED TO ADDRESS DURING ALL HIS YEARS OF LECTURING
 next day the wrongly accused one came to his office and shamefacedly took out the watch that he had been charged with stealing. “I want you to send it to the man I took it from,” he said. And he told with a sort of shamefaced pride of how he had got a good old deacon to give, in all sincerity, the evidence that exculpated him. “And, say, Mr. Conwell--I want to thank you for getting me off--and I hope you’ll excuse my deceiving you--and--I won’t be any worse for not going to jail.” And Conwell likes to remember that thereafter the young man lived up to the pride of exoneration; and, though Conwell does not say it or think it, one knows that it was the Conwell influence that inspired to honesty--for always he is an inspirer. Conwell even kept certain hours for consultation with those too poor to pay any fee; and at one time, while still an active lawyer, he was guardian for over sixty children! The man has always been a marvel, and always one is coming upon such romantic facts as these. AD THE FELLOW PROUDLY EXONERATED THE NEXT DAY THE WRONGLY ACCUSED ONE CAME TO HIS OFFICE AND SHAMELY TOOK OUT THE WATCH WHICH HE HAD BEEN CHARGED WITH STEALING I WANT TO SEND IT TO THE MAN I TOOK IT FROM HE SAID AND HE TOLD WITH A SORT OF SHAMEFACED PRIDE OF HOW HE HAD GOTTEN THE GOOD OLD DEACON TO GIVE IN ALL SINCERITY THE EVIDENCE WHICH EXCULPTED HIM AND SAY MISTER CONWELL I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR GETTING ME OFF I HOPE YOU'LL EXCUSE MY DECEIVING YOU AND I WON'T BE ANY WORSE FOR NOT GOING TO JAIL AND CONWELL LIKES TO REMEMBER THAT THEREAFTER THE YOUNG MAN LIVED UP THE PRIDE OF EXONERATION AND THOUGH CONWELL DOES NOT SAY IT OR THINK IT ONE KNOWS THAT IT WAS THE CONWELL INFLUENCE THAT INSPIRED TO HONESTY FOR ALWAYS HE IS THE INSPIRER CONWELL EVEN KEPT CERTAIN HOURS FOR CONSULTATION WITH THOSE TOO POOR TO PAY ANY FEE AND AT ONE TIME WHILE STILL AN ACTIVE LAWYER HE WAS GUARDIAN FOR OVER SIXTY CHILDREN THE MAN HAS ALWAYS BEEN A MARVEL AND ALWAYS ONE TO COME UPON SUCH ROMANTIC FACTS AS THESE
