David Lakie Ritchie

1865 - 1951 Author of "As comes the breath of spring" in The Hymnary of the United Church of Canada Ritchie, David Lakie. (Kingsmuir, Scotland, September 15, 1864--December 14, 1951, Montreal, Quebec). Congregationalist/United Church. Studied at the University of Edinburgh, whose D.D. he received in 1917. Pastorates at Dunfermline (1890-1896) and Newcastle (1896-1903) in Britain; principal of Nottingham Theological Institute, 1903-1919; of Congregational College (Montreal), 1919-1925; and of United Theological College (1925-1939), with which his previous school merged when Canada's Congregationalists entered the church union of 1925.
