Especial Dispatch to The Call

SANTA CLARA, Nov. e.--While read
ing the Psalms in his first service as
rector of the Santa Clara Episcopal
church at II o'clock this morning. Rev.
Fl. H. Clapham. well known in the Epis-
copal ministry in the west, dropped
dead today in the pulpit. The prayer
book with the beautiful passages but
partly read, lay open on the reading
desk behind which the rector fell.
He had not yet delivered his sermon,
which was to be the first he would
have addressed to the Santa Clara con-
gregation.
Rev. H. H. CIapham was es years
of age. He arrived in Santa Clara on
Tuesday with his wife from Tacoma,
where he had served for II years Fail
ing health had led him to seek a
smaller parish and he had been called
to Santa Clara. During the week he
was here he made many friends among
the congregation. Special plans were
made for his first services. A special
musical program had been arranged
and A large congregation gathered to
greet the new pastor. Before the
services he met many of the parishion-
ers and appeared in excellent spirits.
But an attack of heart failure came
while he was reading the sublime
passages of the Psalms. He tottered
at the reading desk and then fell.
Several ran to his assistance and medi-
cal aid was summoned, but the rector
died almost instantly.
The Episcopalians of Santa Clara
had counted themselves fortunate in
securing Rev. Mr.. Clapham as rector.
A meeting of the vestry was to have
been held on Wednesday to plan the
church work for the year, and on Fri
day evening the congregation was to
give reception to the new rector. The
deceased was a native of England A
number of years ago he was rector
of the Los Gatos Episcopal church.
