"This did not come about immediately, but it came before the war was over, and it came through faithful Johnnie Ring." THIS DID NOT COME ABOUT IMMEDIATELY BUT IT CAME BEFORE THE WAR WAS OVER AND IT CAME THROUGH THE FAITHFUL JOHNNY RING
m it was the rumbling of the guns of the distant past. When he spoke again it was with a still tenser tone of feeling. “When I stood beside the body of John Ring and realized that he had died for love of me, I made a vow that has formed my life. I vowed that from that moment I would live not only my own life, but that I would also live the life of John Ring. And from that moment I have worked sixteen hours every day--eight for John Ring’s work and eight hours for my own.” A curious note had come into his voice, as of one who had run the race and neared the goal, fought the good fight and neared the end. “Every morning when I rise I look at this sword, or if I am away from home I think of the sword, and vow anew that another day shall see sixteen hours of work from me.” And when one comes to know Russell Conwell one realizes that never did a man work more hard and constantly. “It was through John Ring and his giving his life through devotion to me that I became a Christian,” he went on.  HUBBUB OF SOUND MEANT ANYTHING TO HIM IT WAS THE RUMBLING OF THE GUNS OF THE DISTANT PAST WHEN WE SPOKE AGAIN IT WAS WITH A STILL TENSER TONE OF FEELING WHEN I STOOD BESIDE THE BODY OF JOHN RING AND REALIZED THAT HE HAD DIED FOR THE LOVE OF ME I MADE A VOW THAT HAS FORMED MY LIFE I VOWED THAT FROM THAT MOMENT I WOULD LIVE NOT ONLY MY OWN LIFE BUT I WOULD ALSO LIVE THE LIFE OF JOHN RING AND FROM THAT MOMENT I HAVE WORKED SIXTEEN HOURS EVERY DAY ATE FOR JOHN RING'S WORK AND ATE FOR MY OWN A CURIOUS NOTE HAD COME INTO HIS VOICE AS ONE OF WHO HAD RUN INTO THE RACE NEAR THE GOAL FOUGHT THE GOOD FIGHT AND NEARED THE END EVERY MORNING WHEN I RISE I LOOK AT THIS SWORD OR IF I AM AWAY FROM HOME I THINK OF THE SWORD AND THOU ANEW THAT ANOTHER DAY SHE'LL SEE SIXTEEN HOURS OF WORK FROM ME AND WHEN ONE COMES TO KNOW RUSSELL CONWELL ONE KNOWS THAT NEVER DID A MAN WORK SO HARD AND CONSISTENTLY IT WAS THOUGH JOHN RING IN HIS GIVING OF HIS LIFE THREW DEVOTION TO ME THAT I BECAME A CHRISTIAN HE WENT ON
