EVERYONE IN SYRACUSE KNOWS
REV. S. R. CALTHROP.

loved Pastor, Who Believes I'm

The twenty ninth day Of April Is notable
day in the history Of the May Memorial
Church in Syracuse, as II Is the anniversary
of the installation Of the Rev. Samuel Il.
Calthrop, d. D., the eminent divine who so
long has ministered to them spiritually as
pastor Of the Church.
DIR. Calthrop was born In England and re.
ceived his preparatory scholastic training at
ST. Paul's School, London. Entering Trinity
College, Cambridge, he soon became bright
figure in that brilliant coterie Of scholars
literary men and wits that followed in the
traditions Of Macaulay and his associates at
the university. In the middle Of the century
he visited Syracuse aud received his first i'm
ptessions Of the young city that nearly a
score of years later he was to choose as his
home and in which his labors have been 80
long and effective. The mastery pulpit adj
dresses Of DIR. Calthrop have had their funda-
mentals drawn from the deepest research.
His people have been instructed by him, not
on,T in things spiritual, but in the elements Of
the broa6ccst culture, in literature in art and
in science. His young men have been taught
a muscular system OF morality. In these and
in many other ways has he endeared himself
to his congregation, which is one Of the most
highly cultured and wealthy in the city.
DIR. Calthrop has a striking personality.
To the eye he is most picturesque figure.
Hi head and face, framed in luxuriant mas
ses Of silky, snow white hair and beard, are of
the type Of Bryant and Longfellow. Al
though over seventy years old, his rather
spare figure Is firm and erect and every
movement is active and graceful. His whole
life long he has been an ardent admirer and
promoter of athletic sports, and even at his
advanced age, plays tennis with all the vigor
and skill Of young man. To Syracusans,
perhaps, tlris remarkably versatile man Is
most widely known, apart from his profession,
as a scientist.
On bright April morninga reporter fol-
lowed the winding driveway that curving
sfound the hill leads to Cslthrop Lodge, an
old-fashioned, red brick mansion, surrounded
by giove of oaks and chestnuts. Wearing
a black skull cap and black coat Of semi.
clerical cut, the master Of Calthrop lodge
greoiossly received the reporter VIII Ito
repressing all possible evidences OF his suffer-
ing Dr. Calthrop for many years has been the
victim Of distressing affliction, until by for
tunate chance he was led to take the remedy
which has effectuslly cured him.
During more than half OF his pastorate In
Syracuse, DIR. Calthrop has been troubled
with rheumatism, and at intervals he suffered
eXcruciating agony from ID. At times the pain
was &C great as to prevent him from walking.
Many remedies were tried without success, and
he and his friends had given up hope Of
permanent cure of moro than temporary
relief when he took the preparation that drove
the disease completely from his system.
In letter written to the editor Of The
EUenin0 NeiDs, Of Syracuse, last year, DR..
Calthrop told Of his affliction and its cure.
This is DR.. Calthrop's letter:
To the Editor of The EUenin1 NetUs-
Dear Sir: More than thirty-five years ago

from its socket. Great swelling followed,
