But a few months at it showed me that I was not meant for an attorney. Just then it happened that I had a chance to go on The Christian Union^ now The Outlook. I have been there ever since." " And how — " I began. A smile stole around the corners of Mr. Mabie's mouth. It is as useless to attempt to describe that whole- souled smile that irradiates continually with uni- versal kindness as it is to try to picture the charm of an hour with him. His words — should they be set down literally in cold... type — would not make a tithe of the impression that they do when spoken. This charm he has is elusive and intangible. It is like a view of meadow upland on a day that is touched with [8i] American Authors & '^heir Homes an impalpable mist. The eye takes in all its sensuous charm, but a photograph, while it gives the form and outlines, fails to catch the spirit and color. It is the great forces of the day that appeal to Mr. Mabie, the onward movements that are pushing this country rapidly to the fore, and, though he writes from a secluded, plainly fur- nished study up near his dwelling's eaves, he is no recluse, but a man keenly alive to events and the currents of the nation's life.
