Many had come from miles away. Yet the lecture had scarcely, if at all, been advertised. But people had said to one another: “Aren’t you going to hear Dr. Conwell?” K EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE HE WAS COMING OUT WITH ILLUSTRATIONS FROM SUCH DISTINCTIVELY RECENT THINGS AS THE AUTOMOBILE THE LAST I HEARD HIM WAS THE FIVE THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY FOURTH TIME FOR THE LECTURE DOESN'T IT SEEM INCREDIBLE FIVE THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED TWENTY FOUR TIMES I NOTICED THAT HE WAS TO DELIVER IT IN A LITTLE OUT OF THE WAY PLACE DIFFICULT FOR ANY CONSIDERABLE NUMBER TO GET TO AND I WONDERED JUST HOW MUCH OF AN AUDIENCE WOULD GATHER AND HOW THEY WOULD BE IMPRESSED I WENT OVER FROM THERE I WAS A FEW MILES AWAY THE ROAD WAS DARK AND I PICTURED A SMALL AUDIENCE BUT WHEN I GOT THERE I FOUND THE CHURCH BUILDING IN WHICH HE WAS TO DELIVER THE LECTURE HAD A CEDING CAPACITY OF EIGHT HUNDRED AND THIRTY IN THAT PRECISELY EIGHT HUNDRED AND THIRTY WERE ALREADY SEATED THERE AND THAT THERE WAS A FRINGE OF OTHERS STANDING BEHIND MANY HAD COME FROM MILES AWAY YET THE LECTURE HAD SCARCELY IF AT ALL BEEN ADVERTISED AND PEOPLE SAID TO ONE ANOTHER AREN'T YOU GOING TO HEAR DOCTOR CONWELL
