That is Conwellism! That he founded a hospital  a work in itself great enough for even a great life is but one among the striking incidents of his career. And it came about through perfect naturalness. THAT IS CONWELLION THAT HE FOUNDED A HOSPITAL A WORK IN ITSELF GREAT ENOUGH FOR EVEN A GREAT LIFE BUT IT IS AMONG THE MOST STRIKING INCIDENTS OF HIS CAREER AND IT CAME ABOUT THROUGH PERFECT NATURALNESS
h had been a Conwell!--or, far better, what wonders could be accomplished if Conwell could but be a Methuselah! He has all his life been a great traveler. He is a man who sees vividly and who can describe vividly. Yet often his letters, even from places of the most profound interest, are mostly concerned with affairs back home. It is not that he does not feel, and feel intensely, the interest of what he is visiting, but that his tremendous earnestness keeps him always concerned about his work at home. There could be no stronger example than what I noticed in a letter he wrote from Jerusalem. “I am in Jerusalem! And here at Gethsemane and at the Tomb of Christ”--reading thus far, one expects that any man, and especially a minister, is sure to say something regarding the associations of the place and the effect of these associations on his mind; but Conwell is always the man who is different--“And here at Gethsemane and at the Tomb of Christ, I pray especially for the Temple University.” IF METHUSELAH HAD BEEN A CONWELL OR FAR BETTER WHAT WONDERS WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN ACCOMPLISHED IF CONWELL COULD HAVE BEEN A METHUSELAH HE HAS ALL HIS LIFE BEEN A GREAT TRAVELER HE IS A MAN WHO SEES VIVIDLY AND WHO CAN DESCRIBE VIVIDLY YET OFTEN HIS LETTERS EVEN FROM PLACES OF THE MOST PROFOUND INTEREST ARE MOSTLY CONCERNED WITH AFFAIRS BACK HOME IT IS NOT THAT HE DOES NOT FEEL AND FEEL INTENSELY THE INTEREST OF WHAT HE IS VISITING BUT THAT HIS TREMENDOUS EARNESTNESS KEEPS HIM ALWAYS CONCERNED ABOUT HIS WORK AT HOME THERE COULD BE NO STRONGER EXAMPLE THAN WHAT I NOTICED IN THE LETTER HE WROTE FROM JERUSALEM I AM IN JERUSALEM AND HERE AT GASEMINE AND AT THE TOMB OF CHRIST READING THUS FAR ONE EXPECTS THAT ANY MAN AND ESPECIALLY A MINISTER IS SURE TO SAY SOMETHING REGARDING THE ASSOCIATIONS OF THE PLACE AND THE EFFECT OF THOSE ASSOCIATIONS ON HIS MIND BUT CONWELL IS ALWAYS THE MAN WHO IS DIFFERENT AND HERE IT IS GASEMITE AND AT THE TOMB OF CHRIST I PRAY ESPECIALLY FOR THE TEMPLE UNIVERSITY
