be: "American Ideals and the World
Outlook." Concerning this famous
preacher, prince of orators and social
crusader, an anti-saloon league cir
cular says: "Dr. Madison Swadener
scarcely needs an introduction. In
more than .half the states of the
Union he has conducted successful
evangelistic meetings and been a fa
miliar figure on the Chautauqua plat
form. His consuming devotion Is to
uplift and Inspire people to higher
levels. He is a man with a message
who knows how to deliver it, and
with a big heart and voice that will
fill to overflowing and refill any au
ditorium. Dr. Swadener has been
pastor of the largest churches of the
Middle West. He. Is not only a mas
ter of facts but a master of men. As
an evangelist and temperance re
former he'ls known nationally for
messages of inspiration, and his In
fluence In quickening the awakened
conscience of the public, along the
lines of social and civic tighteousness.
Seven of the busiest years of his life
were spent In a study of the great
cities of the republic. Here. In con
tact with the 'submerged teeth' ho
became thoroughly conversant with
their sociological problems and the
need of civic reform. He Is not a
muck-raker, but a social crusader of
the highest type. Dr. Madison Swad
ener Is a man of striking personal
appearance, with the keen, pentrat
Ing glance and finely-chiseled features
of Henry Clay or Senatw Chauncey
De-pew, the great New York after-
dinner orator. He is an optimist by
birth, education and training, and
has gathered a fund of experiences
from every stratum of society, wii'e'i
uses with tremendous power in
the uplift of men."
