PEN PHOTOGRAPHY OF FATHER

though he has, in a comparatively
hriet period, achieved q high distinc-

IN the first rank of American writer's,
= his reputation has not been acquired
through the sacrifice of any of the
serious considerations Of lifo, for lika
a rTue ptleot, he holds everything
subordinate to the performance Ofthe
solemn duties Of his sacred office.
Father Ryan IS a poet from neceSSi-
tT-We may say imperative neceSsi-

that he cannot help writing. 1t is
with him a natural impulse which he
must obty-an impulse similar to that
