Gen. S. C. Lawrence's estate. The streams thus utilized were Winter, Meeting-House, Whitmore brooks, in addition to Gravelly creek, before mentioned. When the increased demands of modern living made it evident that a better supply of pure water was needed in Medford than that furnished by wells and cisterns, it was natural that the attention of our citizens should turn to that fine body of water partly within the limits of the town. The Spot Pond Water Company had been incorporated in 1867 by a committee from the towns of Medford, Malden and Melrose, with a view to the future needs of these places, and two years later the franchise was purchased by them. In 1870, by way of Salem street, and the year following by way of Forest street, Medford was piped and supplied by water from this pond, and this service continued until the needs of Greater Boston for a supply of water became a great and burning question. The Metropolitan Water Board was established in 1895. Medford beca

Secretary and also president of the Methodist Ladies' Union of Greater Boston, she served as each one year with signal success. When the Methodist Episcopal Church, by its action in General Conference, admitted women to its councils and officiary, the Medf

He was not sufficiently reverent of others' reverences, inclined to make differences of view, personal differences, and it was not long before the favor which his ministry created in the beginning changed, and after a serious division of the parish, threatening its welfare, his ministry came to an end in 1867. In March, 1869, mine began, covering now nearly half of the history of the parish since its organization in 1824. I have been telling the history of this parish for more than seventy-five years as it is recorded in the life of its ministers, because this way of tracing the history is more convenient. But the minister is little without the people who are behind him, who work together with him for the purpose for which a church exists, the establishment of righteousness in the earth. I
