SUNDAY, APRIL 4, 1926 Dr. Hillis Restored to Health After South American Visit; Plans a Trip to Holy Land By EDWARD V. RIIS.

For half an hour the Rev. Dr. Newell Dwight Hillis, just off the steamer from South America, sat on a lounge in the Hotel St. George one day last week and gave a remarkable exhibition of a man restored to complete health after his physical collapse at Plymouth Church a year ago last October. His brain worked with the old snap.

Ilis speech ran on with the fluency of years ago when he was the despair of reporters who tried to take down his sermons in longhand and of stenographers who tried to keep pace with him as his words shot forth at the rate of 250 to the minute. His speech was a unifie slower. that was all. It was fast enough to keep the reporter's pencil flying and at that the notes orly covered the higir spots. Man Is a Revelation.

The man is a revelation. This reporter has known him well for years, was familiar with his delivery when he was one of the fastest platform speakers in America and watched his progress toward health after his breakdown. He saw before him again the Hillis with of oki, mental processes working velocity of a weaver's shuttle, bronze of face, with a firm handclasp and not a trace of nervousness. His walk is slower and he seems to favor one side a bit, but when he sits and talks he is the sane silver preacher who stood forth Sunday after Sunday in Plymouth Church and charmed HIS audiences. After he had heard him rattle off s'atistics about South America--its cattle business, the size of its haciendas, the amount of cocoa, coffee and sugar raised in each nation, its Wealth in maize and cotton, without a single slip--the reporter could not refrain from expressing his amazement.

The Old Hillis. "Doctor." he said, "you are a marvel. "Tre greatest triumph you have ever scored was to master your physical infirmities and come back. You are the old "My dear boy," he answered with a laugh, "there never was anything the matter with me but an aggravated nervous breakdown. You will pardon me because I am just off the steamer and have not had a chance to assemble my thoughts." There are few men in any community today in the most robust health who can reveal at a moment's notice such a mass of as to South American wealth.

cattle, land areas and other details as the pastor emeritus of Plymouth Church displayed in the course of a single half hour. This was the mind concerning which it used to be said that it absorbed everything like 2 sponge. Wants tor Study Brazil. He had been away three months, he said, and had been in Brazil, Argentina, Buenos Aires, Sao Paulo, Santos, Rio de Janiero. He wants to go back to Brazil and study the country more closely.

After he had sung the glories of South America he was asked was a good place for Americans to. "It is not a country for the poor boy," he replied.
