1920. The Angel's Lily is a lecture delivered by Russell H. Conwell. Also found within is the History of Temple University. The marriage of these two works are a contrast. Angel's Lily contains an Oriental parable with the interpretation thereof on the one hand, and History of Temple University is a statement of a successful experiment in wider dissemination of higher learning among persons whose conditions might easily be construed as forbidding.

About the author (2003)

Russell H. Conwell, the founder of Temple University in Philadelphia, was described by the great John Wanamaker as ?a student, schoolmaster, lawyer, preacher, organizer, thinker and writer, lecturer, educator, diplomat, and leader of men.? Conwell was also the founder and pastor of Baptist Temple, one of the largest Protestant churches in America during his day and time. He also founded two hospitals in the City of Brotherly Love. His famous "Acres of Diamonds" speech helped countless individuals to come into the knowledge of the meaning of true wealth and how to attain it without getting sidetracked by selfishness and greed.
