Conwell's Acres of Diamonds

The veteran lecturer, Russell n.
Conwell, gave his famous lecture,
Acres of Diamonds" to a capacity
house in Seaver's hall Thursday eve
nlng, and to say that the man has
lost none of his ability to entertain
and instruct, despite his 76 years, is
the testimoy of everyone who listen
ed to him.
DIR. Conwell said he was glad to
come home to Barton where he felt
so well acquainted by reason of his
former visits, but wondered why his
previous delivery of the lecture he
was here to repeat hadnot done more
good. He was greeted with applause
and enthusiasm and filled his hear
ers with new courage and enthusi-
asms for life. He was introduced by
&. 5. Webster, president of the Inn
provement club, under the auspices of
which the course is being given.
This lecture has been given nearly
5000 times and for nearly half a cen
tury said Conwell, he had not receiv-
ed personally one cent of his lecture
money all of it going to worthy
young men in college, the money for
his Barton lecture this time going to
a Dartmouth young man.
The inspiration for the lecture
a.
going down the Tigres and Euphrates
rivers and he heard the story of Ali
Hated, who was wealthy landown-
e, but becamer obsessed with the idea
of owning a diamond mine He sold
his property and hunted the world
over for a diamond mine, finally COM
mitting suicide because he had not
found it, when the very farm he sold
became the site of the finest and
richest diamond mine in the history
of the world, the famous Golconda, a
historical fact A man in Pennsyl-
vania sold his farm in order to go to
Canada with a relative who was in
the oil business and his farm later be-
came the site of the great oil wells of
Pennsylvania, another historical fact
With these and other historical
facts he went on to emphasize the
truth that the opportunities of life
lie in the very place where one is and
not afar off. He said one who became
successful was a blessing to himself
and his community and said the hon
est making of money was one of the
greatest blessings with which man
was endowed and that to make money
honestly, was Christian duty
The lecture is one of great truths,
simply told. One which inspires, en-
courages, instructs and pleases and
it is no wonder that it has been a
blessing to thousands and repeated
many times in the same place.
