Going to school, working on the farm, teaching school, going to war, travelling the world around, practicing law, and best of all con- verted to God. Called to preach the Gospel means education of the
best kind; such Doctor Conwell received, and in these last days digging stones and building dams, making halls and doing something to make Inbor, giving happiness, cheering words and such like, -all this he can claim as his aim. Such toils, although the hardest kind, yet they re- fresh the soul and give courage to go on in life's journey.
Doctor Conwell married for his first wife Jennie P. Hayder. March 8, 1865, who was born in 1844 and died January 11, 1872. leaving a son and a daughter to a father's care. By his second wife. Sarah F. Sanborn, whom he married April 23, 1873, he has had one daughter who married Alfred Barker of Philadelphia. She was sud- denly called from earthly scenes, leaving father and mother lonely. As a lecturer Doctor Conwell's services are in great demand. Ile is the author of nineteen books. As a lawyer he has given free advice to the poor, and as a reporter, has been sent around the workl. As a soldier he was captain of his company, and lieutenant-colonel as a staff officer. In 1877 he began to preach the Gospel, and was ordained in 1879. He labored in Lexington, Mass,, where he found a dilapidated ofd Baptist church. Just imagine Russell 11. Conwell thinking of the salvation of men, feeling the power of God on earth, believing in Heaven, and you have a man that would laugh at hard times. No wonder that he took a pickax to dig down the old building Ere night came he had eight hunched dollars in sight for a new church. The people soon caught the spirit and the old church revived, resurrected from the ashes by faith. He served this church until 1882. In the fall of that year he went to Philadelphia. Of his labors there my readers have heard much and can learn more by read- ing " The Modern Temple and Templars," by R. J. Burdette, or " Life of Russell 11. Conwell," by Albert 11. Smith.

DR. CONWELL'S WORK IN PHILADELPHIA
There are many evidences of Doctor Cunwell's efforts to do good. The Old Hospital and the New show the growth of that work under his care. Believing that healing the sick is one of the elements of Christian work, he secured a house and having fitted it up it was opened to the public February 1, 1893. The hospital is incorporated and managed by trustees. The new hospital cost $205,000 and has one hundred and three beds. During the first six months of the pres- ent year (1904) the average of sixty six patients were treated daily. The Temple College was founded in 188; Doctor Conwell began to teach in 1884, and the first night had seven students, the second forty, the work steadily growing. The first catalogue was issued in 1887. In ISSS there was an enrollment of five hundred and ninety students. The cornerstone of the college was laid August 19, 1803. and that year there were two thousand students. The building was dedicated in May, 1894. The courses of this institution are so varied that it would take one student ninety.six years to complete them. The building cost $207,000. In 1904 there were 125 teachers and 4,213 students. The reader is referred to the life of R. Il. Conwell hy A. H. Smith for a fuller story of the college.
Doctor Conwell began his labors at the Temple on Thanksgiving Day in 1882, and in February, 1884, the membership was 571. In December, 1885, a fair was held for raising money for a new church. In 1886 the income was $12,706.76. In September of this year, the land on which the Temple stands was secured, costing $25,000, and $4.948.13 raised for the building. Doctor Conwell's forty years of toil had well fitted him for the place, and God placed him here where he had a great work to be done. Ground was broken March 27, 1889. the cornerstone laid July 13, 1890, and March 1. 1891, the biukling was occupied. This grand edifice, costing $355,000, is built of hewed stone, and its clear dimensions are 107 by 150 feet, with a dome ninety feet high. The iron balcony at the height of sixty fect. on special occasions is used for band concerts. The main room by the use of chairs provides a seating capacity of 4,200, and the Sunday- school room will accommodate 2,000.
In the short space we have devoted to the life and labors of this noble man we realize that we have but feebly set forth his many virtues and successes. Born among us we love to have him come here to rest. We love to honor hin who "preaches the Gospel, heals the sick, and teaches the ignorant," so gifted by nature and education that he can take the acts of every life and so paint them that mankind gladly hears and thousinds go away and live better lives. He delights to speak so that those lying on heds of pain can hear, and has had tele- phones so arranged that each might hear the message and music of God's love. Thus this man uses his power, his money, his time, and above all else himself in this work. Hundreds of noble workers gladly assist him, and deem it a great privilege even to be counted worthy to help in redeeming mankind. Reader, ere we close, let us urge you to seck God, and be counted among those who are seeking to lift mankind.
Chapter VI .- William Harmon Niles, Ph.D., LL.D.
E VERYTHING in this world has its place and effect upon the minds of the boys and girls. However humble our home may be its influence may be tar reaching in itself. It is the duty of every man and woman to make home what it should be by the true spirit of godliness. The changes of times are fast coming upon us. The age of intellect is beginning to tell. We must put aside our prejudice and take things as they are. In the workl of theology there are great ---- minds investigating. The foundation rocks are there forever. In these days they are beyond dispute. The science of the formation of the world is being worked out. The time uns when men thought it at variance with religion. but as the years go by harmony is prevailing. The laws of religion given by divine command- ment will of course harmonize with the true laws of nature. Our conception changes with knowledge of both. In the religous workdl our section is represented in a wonderful way by the Rev. Dr Conwell, known world wide. In the scientific world we have a man whose beginning was wrought out and worked upon by the scenes of this section. He has occu- pied a position unknown to many of us, but he has had his sphere, and his intellect has moved its thousands, quickening many others, thus doing man and God a great service. Both of these men must he known to be understood. We have already told you about the first and now speak of the second.
In the early days, the name of Niles was common. On the hill- side level with the church spire was the homestead of Ebenezer Niles, and here Asa was born in t810. He received the education of his time and was converted by the efforts of the travelling local preacher. Mr. Niles was blessed with a remarkable memory. He married Mary A. Marcy, a lady gifted in the use of the Eng- lish language, and a lover of the great natural world. Mr. Niles took up the labors of a Methodist circuit preacher, and Westhampton, Cummington, Ashfield, Square Pond, Stafford in Connecticut and also Wellington, Feeding llills, Mass,, and Northampton are the places which have felt his power. Broken in health he came back to Worthington, his native place. There his toil is yet to be seen in the noble grove and the marvelous maples which adorn several of our homes. Better still is the in- fluence of the words he spoke to the young as well as the old. Ile persuaded the tathers to permit their boys and girls to go to school. He spoke to Martin Conwell, to the boy him- self; in his own home he had a boy, William Harmon, born in' Northampton May 18. 1838; five years older than Doctor Conwell, beginning life very near the same time in Worthington. however having one year the start of his friend Conwell.

his pockets well filled with rocks, much to the amusement of his play- mates They knew better than to molest, however, for these were good weapons for detence. At the age of seventeen he began to teach school, teaching four consecutive winters in Worthington. The next two were spent at North Blandford, followed by one in Becket. There was always plenty to do on the farm and he performed his share. Ile was a student four terms at Wilhraham Academy, receiving his first instruc- tion in science trom his uncle, Oliver Marcy, by whose advice he went to the Lawrence Scientific School at Harvard. Here he became a pupil of Prof. Louis Agassiz, and had such teachers as Professor Jeffries Wyman, Asa Gray, Lovering, and two courses in Mineralogy under Prof. Josiah P_ Cook. He studied modern corals and fossil lamelli- branch mollusks of the Mesozoic. He prepared his thesis upon Crinoids. Later he studied for six months in Hhmois and lowa. As agent for Professor Agassiz he purchased there a collection tor the museum at Cambridge. Mr. Niles received his S.B. from Harvard in 1866, then entered Vale, receiving Ph. B. in 1867 Here he had such teachers as Verrill, Bush, Whitney, Gilman, Dumna and Marsh, and his associates were William North Rice and Sidney | Smith He received his A.M. from Wesleyan University in t870.
For ten years Mr Niles was the lecturer on Natural Science at the Massachusetts State Institute, so that he was well known when he was invited to teach at the Technology. In 1871 he was Professor of Physical Geology and Geography For eight years he gave in- struction the second half of the year, thereby affording him the time for public lectures. He spent three summers among the Alps, and twice visited Holland. He gave courses of lectures on geology. history (Ancient and Modern), the " Atmosphere and its Phenomena," and "Physical Geography of the Land." Lectures were given in Boston, Baltimore, Waketiekl, Janaca Plain, Charlestown and Fram- ingham with great success ffe wrote several papers on Mineralogy, and in 1878 became Professor of Geology and Geography. Mr. Niles first suggested the name of Francis J. Walker and paved the way by
which he became the head of the Institute of Technology. ffe was for five years president of the Boston Natural History Society. He has occupied the chair of Professor of Geology in Boston University, and for the past fourteen years that chair at Wellesley College. Three tintes president of the Appalachian Mountain Club, twelve years president of the New England Meteorological Society, he is now presi- dent of the Lawrence School Alumni Association. Ile is a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, of the Geological Society of America, and of the American Association for the Advancement of Sciences, and a corresponding member of the New York Academy of Sciences. In 1903 he was honored with an I.L. D. degree from Temple College, Philadelphia, his childhood friend being president of that institution. In 1902 at his own request he was relieved of the labor of teaching, which he had practiced for forty years, and the cor- poration made him Professor Emeritus of Geology.
Professor Niles has been a most interesting instructor, and always a personal friend of his students. He has a way of teaching which gives a peculiar fascination to his lectures. To be associated with him is a satisfaction and enjoyment to anyone. During these long years of service he has given instruction to thousands who have been inspired to go out into the world and do better work for mankind. Such men of such intellect to conduct our investigation of scientific life, and feeling deeply the religion of their fathers, can not lead men far astray. They will give us what they find. The world can sately trust them. Men of smaller intellect may criticise and ridicule, but be assured their ignorance only gives luster to the greater lights.
Mr. Niles was married in Cambridge, Mass., in 1869, to Helen M. Plympton.
It has been a pleasure to give our readers, although somewhat briefly, some conception of the influences that are at work in the world, going out from the lives of those who in. their childhood days enjoyed the same scenes and opportunities that we do today.

Chapter VII .- Some Local Genealogy
GRANGER
T 11F word grange is French, meaning a place where grain is stored. A granger is the keeper of a grange. In Eng- land grange meant homestead or manor or some abbey. and the keeper was called granger, or the man in charge was granger. For hundreds of years the peasants were known only by their christian names, as John the smith, Rob the carpenter, etc. As late as 1381 the common people were thus named. However, about this time the upper classes were known by a surname also. Note the evolution of names, as Wat Tyler was called Wat (water) the tyler (slater), from his trade. Thus we have Richard de Granger, John de Granger, with no blood relation, which would mean that John worked at the barn and those who tended the grain would be called grangers.
Launclot Granger was born in the West of England; marrying a daughter of Robert Adams in 1664. they began housekeeping on Kent Island, Newbury, Mass. In 1648 he was taxed as. in Ipswich, where he was a freeman and well to do. Joanna, his wite, was born in 1634. receiving from her father one cow and a pewter tankard or bowl. Launclot, in 1674, went to Suffield, Conn., and after King Philip's war in 1678 went to live on lligh street. His sons, George and Thomas, had cach a lot, their father in the center over a rough trail. Joanna Granger and ten children with Abraham, a hahe, came here. She joined her husband to help build a new home on the banks of the Connecticut River. During King Philip's war Launclot went to Westfield, and during the. Indian battle at Westtiekl, Oct. 27, 1675, was wounded in the les. He died at Suffield, Conn., 1689 His son
