He deprecates praise; if any one likes him, the liking need not be shown in words, but in helping along a good work. HE DEPRECIATES PRAISE IF ANY ONE LIKES HIM THE LIKING NEED NOT BE SHOWN IN WORDS BUT IN HELPING ALONG A GOOD WORK
Oxford, Pa. * Preach on Sunday. And all these hardships, all this traveling and lecturing, which would test the endurance of the youngest and strongest, this man of over seventy assumes without receiving a particle of personal gain, for every dollar that he makes by it is given away in helping those who need helping. That Dr. Conwell is intensely modest is one of the curious features of his character. He sincerely believes that to write his life would be, in the main, just to tell what people have done for him. He knows and admits that he works unweariedly, but in profound sincerity he ascribes the success of his plans to those who have seconded and assisted him. It is in just this way that he looks upon every phase of his life. When he is reminded of the devotion of his old soldiers, he remembers it only with a sort of pleased wonder that they gave the devotion to him, and he quite forgets that they loved him because he was always ready to sacrifice ease or risk his own life for them.
