On May 21, 1914, when Dr. Conwell delivered this lecture for the five thousandth time, Mr. John Wanamaker said that if the proceeds had been put out at compound interest the sum would aggregate eight millions of dollars.  Dr. Conwell has uniformly devoted his lecturing income to works of benevolence.]
