Richmond, a resident of St Louis in 1920-21, was widely known for his stormy career in the ministry of the Protestant Episcopal and other churches. In every pulpit which he occupied, he was in conflict with a bishop or with others in positions of authority and influence. In Philadelphia, where he was rector of old St John's Church, two successive Episcopal bishops censured his acts, and in 1915 he was tried by an ecclesiastical council, found guilty on three charges of insubordination, and suspended from the ministry for two years. One of his most discussed utterances was a sermon in 1911 on "Sins of Society," in which Dr. Richmond, denounced the impending marriage of the diVorced and middle-aged John Jacob Astor to the young woman who, in the following year, became bis widow in the Titanic disaster.

One of the acts to which his superiors objected was inviting a Jewish rabbi to occupy his pulpit He left the Episcopal Church, but continued to wear the clerical collar. In 1920, after the death of the Rev. Dr. William J. Williamson, Dr.

Richmond came to St Louis as Dr. Williamson's successor in the pulpit of Central Church, independent congregation meeting in Wednesday Club auditorium. The church had been organized by friends of Dr. Williamson, after his withdrawal from the pastorate of Third Baptist Church. Dr.

Richmond proved unequal to the task of holding the congregation together, and in 1921 he resigned after an open controversy with leading members. He said at the time that he gave offense chiefly by asking Mrs. Kate Richards O'Hare, Socialist speaker then lately released from prison after a sentence for wartime utterances, to speak from his pulpit Returning to the Episcopal body, he was placed In charge of a church in Evanston, Wyo, and was soon engaged in a series of controversies over local gambling and liquor selling. He was removed by the Bishop of Wyoming. Because of his Interest in the Labor party movement in England, he went to England, and was engaged to supply the pulpit of a Church of England congregation In Hull.

The church authorities found him "too emotional and excitable" for pastoral work, and he went to Scotland, after having been charged with "preaching politics" from, the pulpit in Hull. A Glasgow court fined him for violation of provisions relating to aliens. He returned later to the United States.
