day in the history of the May Memorial
Church in Syracuse, as it il the anniversary
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 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 and received his first i'm.
pressions 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 SO
long and effective; The mastery pulpit adj
dresses of Or. Calthrop have had their funda-
mentals drawn from the deepest research
His people have been instructed by him, not
only In things spiritual, but in the elements of
the broadcast culture, in literature in art and
in science. His young men have been taught
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.

His 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

movement is active and graceful. His whole
life long he has been an ardent admirer and
promoter of athletic sports, and even ut his
advanced age, plays tennis with oil the vigor

On o bright April morning a reporter fol-
lowed the winding driveway that curving
around the hill leads to Calthrop Lodge, an

O black skull cap and black coat of semi
clerical cut, the master of Calthrop Lodge
graciously received the reporter who called to
inquire about his health, for though manfully
depressing all possible evidences of his suffer-
ing. DR.. Calthrop for many years has been the
victim Of q distressing affection, until by for
tunate chance he was led to take the remedy
which has elfectually cured him.
During more than half Of his passionate in
Syracuse, DR.. Calthrop has been troubled
with rheumatism, and at intervals he suffered
excruciating agony from it. Attimes the pain
vas sc great as to prevent HIM from walking.
Many remedies were tried without success and
he and his friends had given up hope of o
permanent cure or of more than temporary
relief when he took the preparation that drove
the disease completely from his system.

Erening Ne,rs, of Syracuse, last year, DIR.
