OUR CHRISTMAS POEM.

The three-hundredth anniversary
OF the birth of John Milton. the great
est poet,-except Shakespeare that
the English-speaking races have vet
produced. and one OF the worlds
very greatest, was celebrated in two
continents on December Q. This adds
a special interest 10 the selection we
are publishing from his splendid
Ode on the Morning of Christ's Ma
uvity." This poem was written be-
fore the poet was twenty-one. and
not only gave promise OF the great
genius that was later shown In Com
us and LycIdas. aud Paradise Lost
but also foretold the unchanging
love for truth and freedom that
made Millions name the most glori-
Gus In centuries OF English history"
Great as was Millions genius. his
character was equally superb. and
has done as much TO win for him the
admiration and reverence OF all the
generations who have lived since
hts time. II f. especially fitting that
~e who enjoy freedom OF speech and
OF conscience should do homage on
this Chrtstmas-tlde 10 the memory OF
one who fought for them so brayeiy
and With such unselash devotion.
