HIS INFLUENCE.
Anniversary OF Rev. G. A. l.. Richards
Pastorate at st. Johns Church.

IuStOfatc ut 81 JOHNS Cnurcn.
DIR. G. A. l.. Richards, rector OF st. Johns
Episcopal Church, North Main street, has
completed the twenty fifth year OF service
in charge of the parish, and this fact was
celebrated last evening by reception
given in his honor i'm the church. The
reception rooms were overcrowded with
the members OF the church and outside
friends who had come to con-
gratulate the rector on the ami
versary. William Gammell, chairman
of the committee of arrangements, pre-
sided during the few addresses. After
brief Introductory remarks he introduced
Mr.. John w. Vernon, senior warden
OF the church, who spoke a
few words on DIR. Richards
long and faithful service. He described
the condition of the Church at the time
the present rector took charge and noted
the contrast with the present circum
stances. At that time the church was
content to be fortress for the preserva-
tion and guarding OF the truth. Now 1t
Is q basis for offensive work in all direc-
tions. While still proud of its history
and lineage, 1t has given up depending on
these alone and looks toward constantly
increasing it's force of active workers.
As one result Mr.. Vernon showed the
church edifice a monument to the cause
OF Christ in the place and indirectly to its
exponents. Mr.. Vernon named as the
prime factor in this evolution DIR. RichGrds,
whose efficient leadership had been in
large measure supplemented by the faith
full work OF his helpers.
Rev. Mr.. II. IL. Porter, OF the Emanuel
Church of Newport, was introduced by
the chairman and spoke OF the good in-
fiuence of DR.. Richards among the clergy
OF the diocese and outside. This influence
had, he said, been felt in many
ways, notably in his power over
the English language and his Judgment
OF literature, and his insistence on strict
attention to the rubrics of the prayer book.
The diocese at large Is greatly indebted
to him for tho constitution and canons
under which it lives today. He has been
leader in religious thought, but has OIL
ways stood up for perfect freedom pf be-
lief.
Congratulatory letters were read from
Bishop Clark of this State and from Bisnop
Henry G. Potter OF New York.
Rev. Mr.. Il. e. Moore, of the Central
Congregational Church OF this city, re-
marked on DIR. Richards reputation out
side the denomination, and expressed tho
sentiments of hosts Of his outside friends
in his words OF congratuiation and
esteem.
DIR. Richards, in few words. thanked
the speakers for their kind expressions,
though he deprecated them as far too
strong. He remarked that he should be
glad to believe they were true.
Refreshments were served after the ad-
dress. Music was furnished by five pieces
OF Langstnffs orchestra.
DR.. Z. A. Richards is a graduate OF Yale.
Previous to bis settling In Providence he
had had canonicsl residences in
Massachusetts,, New York, Philadelphia,
and Columbus, Ohio. From the latter place
he accepted n call to this city 25 years ago,
and he has been here as rector OF st.
Johns ever since.

slender and shapely. Many colors ap-
pear in the same gown, as white, rose.

Fur plays, too, an important part in
the decoration and is even seen on
gowns of white. Capes like
those worn by Anne of Austria, turn
ing downward from the neck over the
shoulder and bust, made of rich lace,
are borrowed from the period when
the most graceful styles had stately
sway. In special models a pretty idea
