This lecture has been delivered under these circumstances: I visit a town or city, and try to arrive there early enough to see the postmaster, the barber, the keeper of the hotel, the principal of the schools, and the ministers of some of the churches, and then go into some of the factories and stores, and talk with the people, and get into sympathy with the local conditions of that town or city and see what has been their history, what opportunities they had, and what they had failed to do--and
...every town fails to do something--and then go to the lecture and talk to those people about the subjects which applied to their locality.- from the author, Russell Herman Conwell, an American Baptist minister, orator, philanthropist, lawyer, and writer.
