Instead In so far as atmosphere and appearances went, 1 might have looked Into the gray eyes of a country doctor or the president of a big rural bank "I have never believed that I am an orator." Dr. Con well said at one place In the Interview. "I am simply a plain man of business " But he fills his church twice every Sunday, and the revenues of a single lecture In Philadelphia have reached 13000. Oddlly enough, out of the pulpit and away from the platform neither his voice nor his face Is particularly expressive. Once he was a lawyer wnaklng 110,000 a year.

“Is the church." I asked him. “gaining or losing T I should like the critical opinion of an expert." "I don't know," f Dr. ConweD replied. "When I look at my own congregation I think the church Is gaining; when I go out Into the country and talk with some at the preachers I thing it Is losing. The church Is passing through one of the most dangerous periods of Its existence. What the outcome will be no cne can tell. Ton see the church has drifted away from the practices of Christ. Religions people think Christ .spent most of bis time In preaching. They forget that He went all through Galilee healing the sick and teaching the ignorant. The church did both once, but rich men established schools and hospitals, and now nothing remains but preaching and the social side of

“I have traveled for thlrt^ years continually. I lost a great deal of sleep, which together with constant worry left me in such a nervous state that finally, after having two collapses of nervous prostration, I was obliged to give up traveling altogether. I doctored continually but with no relief. Dr. Miles’
Nervine came to my rescue—I ■untry. He found cannot describe the suffering

“Understand, I don't depreciate sociability. Indeed, 1 urge It and work for It. After the service st the temple on Sunday morning two thousand persons will stay for an hour and visit. Our prayer meetings are of the ancient kind, but from seven hundred and fifty to fifteen hundred members of the church are In attendance each evening, two thirds of whom remain to chat and get better acquainted.The temple, collecting *60,000 a year, la the real church home of the people, and la made up of men who work for a living—the powerful middle class that Is the blood and bone of every American community. They hold together because they are Christians and because they are social. But the church universal must teach and heal U It Is to be prosperous and success

done. The public schools are an rightd freedom. The Rev. Asia Niles, my
