Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Samuel Fallows was an American clergyman, bishop of the Reformed Episcopal Church, and nationally known as a religious and civic leader.
Background
Samuel Fallows was born in Pendleton, Lancashire, England, the tenth child of Thomas and Anne (Ashworth) Fallows. His father was a cotton-mill operator, and Samuel’s early years were spent in Pendleton, Warrington, and Manchester. Financial disaster in 1848 drove the family to America, and the lure of cheap land and golden opportunities took them to the wilds of Wisconsin, where they settled near Bird’s Ruins, later the town of Marshall. Here Thomas, a weaver but no farmer, forced to borrow money at usury, was beaten from the start; but the family struggled along. Samuel adapted himself happily to pioneer conditions, and tree-felling, root-digging, and rail-splitting fostered a naturally strong constitution which sustained a strenuous life of nearly eighty-seven years.
Education
In England he had had good schooling, but good schooling was not to be had at Bird’s Ruins, nor money to send him elsewhere.
Determined and persistent, he secured an education, nevertheless, studying by himself, attending school here and there, paying his way by storekeeping, farm labor, and teaching, and finally graduating from the University of Wisconsin in 1859.
From 1859 to 1861, however, he was vice-president and principal of the so-called Galesville University.
Career
He had already decided to enter the Methodist ministry, and in 1858 had been received into the West Wisconsin Conference on trial.
On September 25, 1862, he was appointed chaplain of the 32nd Wisconsin Infantry, which office he resigned in June 1863.
The following year he helped recruit the 40th Wisconsin Infantry, and became its lieutenantcolonel.
On January 28, 1865, be was appointed colonel of the 49th Wisconsin Infantry, and on October
24, was brevetted brigadier-general for meritorious service.
He had proved himself a natural leader, and his enthusiastic devotion to public welfare and human interests was generally recognized.
The next ten years he was engaged in pastoral and educational work chiefly in Wisconsin.
In this last capacity his great aim was “a college education, tuition free, for every Wisconsin boy or girl who wanted it, ” and he succeeded in bringing the university “into practical and vital relations with the public schools” (Fallows, post), as a step toward an organized educational system.
For the remainder of his long career, except for a brief residence in Brooklyn in 1878, he was identified with the rapidly expanding life of Chicago.
His varied activities, however, took him all over the country.
Presidents and convicts were his friends.
His interests ranged from prison-reform to simplified spelling.
Almost every major humanitarian movement drew from his seemingly inexhaustible vitality.
From 1877 to 1879 he carried on a crusade in the interests of his church, traveling twenty-seven thousand miles, and visiting England and Bermuda.
Except for this period he retained the rectorship of St. Paul’s until his death.
His views on this subject had been expressed in Science and Health from the Viewpoint of the Newest Christian Thought (1903).
Some sixteen other books were issued by him, including dictionaries and compilations.
The World War found him as eager to serve as had the Civil War.
The following June he spoke on “The Value of Science, ” at the University of Wisconsin Commencement.
His career ended in Chicago a few months later, and he was buried in the Forest Home Cemetery.
He served two Methodist churches in Milwaukee (1865 - 70); was a regent of the University of Wisconsin (1866 - 74); and from 1870 to 1874, state superintendent of public instruction.
For a brief period (1874 - 75) he was president of Illinois Wesleyan University, Bloomington, leaving it to enter the Reformed Episcopal Church, partly because he was naturally inclined to authority and ritual, and also because he believed this new church was peculiarly adapted to meet the needs of the growing West.
Politics
He founded the People’s Institute on the West Side, Chicago; was for twenty- one years president of the board of managers of the Illinois State Reformatory; had a hand, as the friend of labor, in settling serious industrial disputes; was active in the Grand Army of the Republic and all patriotic enterprises, founding in 1890 the American Society of Patriotic Knowledge.
