Cyrus Townsend Brady, who has
turned out several unusually readable
books of various kinds during the
past two or three years, and is still
turning them out. was for some time
rector of an Episcopal church at Over
brook, Pa, a position he has just re-
signed, from the fact that he found it
was impossible to do two things at
once and do them well. and of the two
he preferred writing to preaching. We
think on the whole he made a wise
choice. Shut up in his pulpit he
probably reached not more than three
