George C. Lorimer

George Claude Lorimer (June 4, 1838 – September 8, 1904) was a noted reverend, and was pastor of several churches around the United States, most notably the Tremont Temple in Boston, Massachusetts.

[1] Coming eventually to Louisville, Kentucky, he came under the influence of Reverend W.W. Everts, who turned Lorimer to Christianity.

[1] After another brief term in Albany, New York, he next took up an office at the Tremont Temple in Boston, where he would serve as pastor for 21 years, with some interruptions.

[3] Lorimer's pastorate was "successful in the highest degree", and by January 1881, the church raised sufficient means to pay a substantial portion of its debt.

[4] In addition to his preaching duties, Lorimer was the author of "many widely-read books on religious and social topics".
