The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1897-05-06

The twenty day of April is notable
day in the history Of the May Memorial
Church in Syracuse, as it is the anniversary
Of the installation of the Rev. Samuel r.
Cathrop 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-
cclycd 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 inn
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 masterly pulpit ad-
dresses of DIR. Calthrop have had their funda-
mpntals drawn from the deepest research.
His people have been instructed by him, not
only in things spiritual, but in the elements of
the broadest culture, in literature in art and
in science. His youIg men have been taught
q 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.
10 the eye he is a 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 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 a young man. To Syracusans,
ynl, ,l, IL
most widely known, apart from his profession,
us n scientist.
On "a bright April morning 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
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
repressing all possible evidences of his suffer
| ing DIR. Calthrop for many years has been the
victim of a distressing aflliction, until by for.
| tunate chance he was led to take the remedy
which has effectually cured him.
During more than half of his pastorate in
Syracuse, DIR. Calthrop has been troubled
with rheumatism, and at intervals he suffered
eXcrucating agony from it. At times the pain
was 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.
In letter written to the editor of tn,
Errning Nems, of Syracuse, last year, DR.
CnlthrOp told of his affliction and its cure
