RUSSELL III. CoNwELI. q chnrcbtba
Grace Baptist, at the corner of North
Broad and Berks streets--he has built
up q college, chartered by the state,
with curriculum modelled after Prince.
toms, where 1870 students are taking
the regular college course, and where
5000 others are getting instruction day
after day and night after night in all
sorts Of studies, practical and otherwise
This college has faculty of 40 profess
ors, who give their whole attention to
this work The students are the plain
people-the poor-and each pays s5 a
year tuition, and with these fees and
gifts that are coming in all the time the
college is self supporting. Next fall it
is expected that the college will have
5000 students. In addition to all this,
the church supports public hospital of
90 beds.
The church building is practically a
club Its basement Is fitted up in vari-
ous suits OF rooms. where the members
spend their afternoons and evenings. In
one part of the building the business
men have their room, where they sit
and chat or read or hold meetings of
various kinds. Over in another part of
the place the young men or young won.
en- have their social apartments. The
boys Of the church have a military Or
ganization and drill regularly, and the
athletic association has its own athletic
ground
Dr. Conwell, the man who has accom-
pllshed all this, started to preach in
Philadelphia 12 years ago with church
OF 90 members. He had been preacher
only about two years before he went to
philadelphia Before that he had been
lawyer for 10 years in Boston and be.
fore that reporter, an editor and sol.
dier. He Is self made man and was
born ON farm in Worthington, Mass,
6l years ago. He was a student at Yale
when the war came on, and at the age
OF 10 he led company from Massa-
chusetts to the field. He saw the sharp.
est kind of service and during his sol
dier career was wounded twice. He
came out Of the war a lieutenant colonel.
Dr. Conwell's churchris known as The
Temple, and his college is Incorporated
as Temple college. His salary is s1O,-
600 year, but with his lectures he
earns $25, 600 probably. To run the
church costs $3s, 900 year. To run
the college costs $2s, 900. To run the
Samaritan hospital costs $25. 900. For
i've years DR.. Conwell supported the
college himself, giving part of his salary
and the proceeds Of his lectures to it.
DIR. Conwell is not sensational
in the generally accepted use
OF that term. He often speaks ON topics
Of current interest, but he also breaches
what might be called doctrinal sermons.
de has slow, deliberate speech, res.
,nant voice, uses the simplest words,
'ecites anecdotes, gives much popular
information in his talks, rises to elo-
luence occasionally and always speaks
'xtemporaneously.

AS the whole religious wcrll united

ven,' during the worlds religious con-
gresses OF 1898, we believe that all

daily reading in the public schools of
suitable selections from the sacred
scriptures and the recitation of that
prayer, and the two great commando
ments upon which hang all the law and
the prophets, thereby fixing in the
minds OF the children the vital spiritual
principle on which good citizenship
and the future we.fare or our country
80 largely depend" ..~,rt
Among other petitioners are Charles

religious congress; w. r. Harper, pres

w. y. Onahan, upon whom the title OF
