« John Conley was a princely merchant of Pittsburgh. He carried the spirit of business enterprise into the Lord’s work. He was indeed a modern Barnabas. Mr. Conley founded our Palestine mission, and supported Miss Dunn’s work there till the close of his life. At the same time his heart was in home missions. To him the coming of the Lord was a blessed and living hope. He was a membre of the Board of Managers. He went to his reward July 25, 1897. » — Livre : Twenty-five wonderful years, 1889-1914, A popular sketch of the Christian and missionary alliance, edition of 1914, pages 208-209 § 1.
