RichardsGathered together under the shadow of their great sorrow, they told each other What Mrs. Richards had done for them. Each had a characteristic say ing of hers to repeat, or an anecdote illustrating her unfailing helpfulness to relate, but chie?y they spoke of how her call to them had always been in the direction of the large outgiving life.Strangely enough the outlook even at that time, so soon after her death, was not backward, but for ward. They asked even then what they could do to carry on the work that she had laid down. As the evening wore on, the suggestion was made that one way of doing this would be by giving permanent form to what had been said there so informally, and the hope was expressed that they and others who had known the inspiration of her personal in?uence might have an opportunity to show her to the world as they had seen her.
