It is the "Hitch your chariot to a star" idea. His modesty goes hand in hand with kindliness, and I have seen him let himself be introduced in his own church to his congregation, when he is going to deliver a lecture there, just because a former pupil of the university was present who, Conwell knew, was ambitious to say something inside of the Temple walls, and this seemed to be the only opportunity. THAT IS THE HITCH YOUR CHARIOT TO A STAR IDEA HIS MODESTY GOES HAND IN HAND WITH KINDNESS AND I HAVE SEEN HIM LET HIMSELF BE INTRODUCED IN HIS OWN CHURCH TO HIS CONGREGATION WHEN HE IS GOING TO DELIVER A LECTURE THERE JUST BECAUSE A FORMAL PUPIL OF THE UNIVERSITY WHO IS PRESENT CAN WELL KNOW IS AMBITIOUS TO SAY SOMETHING INSIDE THE TEMPLE WALLS AND THIS SEEMED TO BE THE ONLY OPPORTUNITY
rt 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. He deprecates praise; if any one likes him, the liking need not be shown in words, but in helping along a good work. That his church has succeeded has been because of the devotion of the people; that the university has succeeded is because of the splendid work of the teachers and pupils; that the hospitals have done so much has been because of the noble services of physicians and nurses.
