Show Convert Writers. The literary history of England and the United States during the past decade de-cade and a half tell us of conversion after conversion of men and women who were gifted with great parts, with subtle insight, with quiveringly delicate deli-cate artistic perception, and who found no continuing city for their questing souls until they reached the church. Ernest Dowson. Father Tahb, Francis Thompson, Lionel Johnson. Aubrey Reardsley, Henry Harland, Adeline Sargeant, Mrs. Craigie. Alice Meynell Joel Chandler Harris, F. Marion Crawford, Craw-ford, Isaac Henderson, "Lucas Malet" these and other names occur at once and it is difficult to resist the thought that literature was the pathway along which grace moved to guide them to the Mother who alone has used for her Master's purposes all the artistic and literary and imaginative powers of man.
