The Twenty-ninth day of April is no.
table day in the history of the May Memoir
ial Church in Syracuse, as ii is the ami
versary Of the installation of the Rev.
Samuel X. Calthrop, ID. d., the eminent
divine who so long has ministered to them
spiritually rs pastor of the Church.
DR.. Calthrop was born in England and
received his preparatory scholastic training
al st. Panl's Sehool. 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 Macanay and his associ-
atas at the university. In the middle of the
century he visited Syracuse and received
his first impressions Of the young city that
nearlyn score of years later he was to choose
rs his home and i'm which his labors have
been 50 long and effective. The masterly
pulpit addresscs of Dr. Cathrop have had
their Fundamentals drawn from the deepest
research. Ills people have been instructed
by him, not only in things spiritual, but in
the elements of the broadest culture, in lit
erature. in art and in science His young
men have been taught muscular system of
morality. In these and in many other why's
has he endeared himself to his congregation,
which is one of the most highly cultured
AMI wealthy in the city.
DR.. Calthrop has striking personality.
To the eye he is most picturesque figure.
His head and fice, 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
loyement is active and graceful. His whole
.ife long he hns been an ardent admirer and
promoter of athletic sports, and even at his
advanced aye. plays tennis with all the yigor
and skill of young man. To Syracusans,
perhaps, this remarkably versatile man is
most widely known, apart from his profes-
sion, as a scientist.
On bright April morning reporter fol-
lowed the winding driveway that enrving
around the hill leads 10 Calthrop Lodge, an
old-f;lslliamcd. rel brick manson, surrounded
by grove of onks and chestnuts. Wearing
black skull cup ami n black coat of semi.
clerical cut, the master of Calthrop Lodge
graciausly received the reporter who called
10 inquire about his health, for, though
manfnlly rcpressing all possible evidences
of his suffering, DIR. Calthrop for many
years has been the victim of a distressing
aiflicton. until by fortunate chance he was
led TO take the remedy which has eifectually
cured him.
During more than half of his pastorate in
Syracuse, Dr. Calthrop has been troubled
with rheumatism and ut intervals he suffered
excruciating agony from it. At times the
pain was 50 great as 10 prevent MN from
walking. Many remedies were tried with
ont success. and he and his friends had given
up hope of a permanent cure or of more
than temporary relief when he took the
preparation that drove the disease completely
from his system.
In letter written TO the editor of 7ht
Ecening Ne,rs of Syracuse, last year, DR.
Calthrop told of his affiiction and its cure
This is DIR. Calthrop's letter:
