Excerpt from Brother Azarias: The Life Story of an American Monk

Simple and obscure lives, like that which Brother Azarias lived for nearly half a century, are unlikely to give much reason for a book. They are without dramatic strength and variety, are lacking in inci dent, and have no climaxes. In his case certain strong contrasts make up for these deficiencies, and impart to the story of his career an interest not found in the average biography. He was an Irishman who became in fact and sympathy an American; an Amer ican who became a monk in spite of his environment.
