The Twenty.ninth day of April is a no.
table day in the history of the May Memoir
ial Church in Syracuse, rs it is the ami
versary of the installation Of the Rev.
Samuel r. Calthrop, D. D., the eminent
divine who so long has ministered to them
spiritually as pastor of the Church.
DR.. Calthrop was born in England and
at St. .Pauls School, London. Entering
Trinity College, Cambridge. he soon became
a bright figure in that brilliant coterie Of
scholars, literary men and wits that followed
in the traditions of Macaulay and l1isassoci-
ates at the university. In the mid lie of the
century he visited Syracuse and received
his first impressions Of the young city that
as his home and in which his labors have
been so long and effective. The mastery
pulpit addresses of DR.. Calthrop have had
their fundamentals drawn from the deepest
research. His people have ben instructed
by him, not only in things spiritual, but in
the elements CT the broadest culture, in lit
erature. 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 endcared himself to his congregation.
which is one Of the most highly cultured
and wealthy in the city.
DR.. Calthrop has a striking personality.
To the eye he is u most picturesque figure.
His head and face, framed in luxuriant mas
ses OF silky, snow white hair and beard, are
Of the type Of Bryant and Longtellow. Al.
though over seventy years DID, his rather
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 al! the vigor
and skill Of young nun. TO Syracusans,
perhaps, this remarkably versatile man is
most widely known, apavt from lis profess
sion, as scientist.
On bright April morning q reporter fol-
lowed the winding driveway that curving
around the hill leads to Calthrop Lodge, an
old-fashioned. red brick mansion, surrounded
by grove Of oaks and chestnuts. Wearing
a black skull cap ana e black coat of semi
clerical cut the master Of Calthrcp Lodge
graciously received the reporter who called
to inquire about his health, for, though
of his suffering, DR.. Caithrop for many
years has been the victim Of distressing
affliction, until by Fortunate chance he was
led to take the remedy which has e6ectually
cured him. ".
During more than half of his pastorate in
Syracuse, DR.. Calti,rop has been troubled
with rheumatism, and at intervals he suffered
pain was so great as to prevent him from
walking. Many remedies were tried with
out success, and he and his friends had given
up hope Of permanent cure or Of more
than temporary relief when he took the
preparation thatdrove the disease completely
from his system.
In letter written to the editor of The
Evening Neaus, Of Syracuse. last year, DR..
Caltlrtp told cf his affection and it's cure.
This il Dr.. Calthrop's letter:
