DIR. WAN DYKES VITALITY.


 This vitality is a rare quality. Most men livein one set of faculties; Dr. van Dyke lives in all his faculties. He thinks clearly, closely, searchingly; he feels quickly and profoundly; his will is virile and masterful. Hence his ability to speak directly and authoritatively in verse, in fiction, in the essay, in criti- .cism and in the sermon. Most men live in one sphere of action; pr. van Dyke lives in two spheres. Hence his first hand knowledge of nature, of books and of men. He has a native and individu- al lyric note; he has written fiction which is full of flavor and touched with passion; he is one of the most effective preachers of his time, and he can cast a fly with the best. His energy backs ev- cry gift with vigorous impulses, and his steadiness of will keeps his impulses in the happiest working relations. He has the ability to start at full speed, and he is always in easy command not only of his resources, but of himself Hamilton ". Mabie in the Century.
