mentals 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 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
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 vigol
and skill of young man. To Syracusans

ing, DIR. Calthrop for many years has been the
victim of distressing aiiliction, until by for
tunate chance he was led to take the remedy

During more than half of his pastOrate ir

with rheumatism, and at intervals he suffered
excruciating agony from it. AT times the pair

Many remedies were tried without success, and
he and his friends had given up hope Of O

relief when he took the preparation that drove
the disease completely from his system.
