ANECDOTE ABOUT ROOSEVELT.
Syracuse Clergyman Tells Why the President
Left the Episcopal Church.

SYRACUSE. May s.-The Rev. George G..
Richmond in a sermon to-day, told an
hitherto unpublished anecdote about Presi-
dent Roosevelt. which is vouched for by
an intimate friend of the President. II
relates to reasons for his leaving the Epis-
copal Church and going back to the Dutch
Reformed.
Mr. Richmond said that when the Presi
dent was graduated from Harvard he went
home to New York determined to devote
a part of his energy to the Church. He
had been born and brought up in the Dutch
Reformed Church. but had come to the
conclusion that the Episcopal Church had
the best creed and he cast his lot with a
New York parish. He, aoon became
teacher in the Sunday school. The forms
Of tho Church, however. bothered him.
and he concluded that they were ,lnneces-
cary and smacked Of media valism. To
cap the climax. the church authorities criti-
cised him because he did not bow when
the rubric required such posture. This
was the last straw and he never appeared
at the church again. but went back to the
Dutch Reformed.
THE young man." said Mr.. Richmond,
left the Church, threw up his work, a
striker in the cause of Christian reality.
and went back to that old body Of Chris
tians where manliness In worth more than
manners and strength OF character is OF
more concern than ritual"
Mr.. Richmond is an Episcopal clergyman
and assistant to Bishop Huntington.
