"SAMUEL McCHORD CROTHERS (1857-), American clergyman and author, was born at Oswego, Ill., June 7 1857. He was educated at Princeton (A.B. 1874), Union Theological Seminary (1874-7), and the Harvard Divinity School (1881-2).

Ordained as a Presbyterian minister in 1877 he was a pastor in Nebraska, Nevada, and California (1877-81). He became a Unitarian minister in 1882, called to Brattleboro, Vt. (1882-6), St. Paul, Minn. (1886-94), and Cambridge, Mass. (since 1894). An inspiring preacher and a very popular public speaker, he won a still wider audience by his essays,. which recall the quaint humour of Charles Lamb.

Among his best known volumes are: - The Gentle Reader (1903); The Understanding Heart (1903); The Pardoner's Wallet (1905); The Endless Life (1905); By the Christmas Fire (1908); Oliver Wendell Holmes and His Fellow Boarders (1909); Among Friends (1910); Humanly Speaking (1912); Three Lords of Destiny (1913); Meditations on Votes for Women (1914) and Pleasures of an Absentee Landlord (1916).
