John Milton
By REV. THOMAS B. GREGORY.

But Milton did more than write
Paradise Lost" He wrote, among
other things, the "Areopagitica"-
the gTandest plea that was ever
made by man for the freedom of
writing, speaking and printing. The
liberty Of speech and press, which
is the browning glory of the age in
which we live, and the one great
guarantee for the future peace and
progress of the race, owes more to
John Milton with the possible ex-
ception of Voltaire) than to any
other person or combination of per-
sons of whom we have any knowl-
edge
The "Areopagitica" made Eng
land think as it had never been
made to think before, with the re-
suit that she threw off the shackles
that had bound her. and swore that
henceforth Englishmen should be

tending that man was made for
freedom, and that to be contented
with less than his birthright was
the lowest sort of cowardice. Mil
ton dealt the deathblow to intel
lectual oppression in England.
Nowhere else, perhaps, does the
old question of the comparative
value Of Men of Thought" and
Men of Action" find clearer an
swer than in the case of Milton.
Milton spent his whole life in re-
tirement. pent up midst the "Aca-
demic Shades" and yet the thought
that he gave birth to in his seclu-
sion started the propaganda that
is conquering the world and build

in a little house on Bun
hill row, London, Milton put the
finishing touches to his great epic,
Paradise Lost"
For two years after its compile
tion the great poem lay in its au-
thor's desk, and when, finally, a
publisher was found, it was agreed
that Milton should receive for his
immortal work five pounds down,
another five pounds after the sale
of an edition Of thirteen hundred
copies. and two additional sums of
five pounds each after the sale Of
two more editions of the same size,
the author, in the meantime, relin-
gushing all his copyright and
commercial interest in the poem
forever"
In English literatuTe-let US say
in all literature-there is no peer
of this marvellous poem. Than that
wonderful epic nothing that was

lus, or Dante, is fuller OF what we
call the sublime" Critics Para
disc Lost" has had without number,
but no critic of respectable attain
ments has ever dared to question
its unparalleled grandeur of con-
ception and faultlessness of execu-
ton.
OF no special value in the practi-
cal sense, Millions poem has been
of incalculable value to mankind
in quickening its sense Of the large
ness and majesty of life. 1t pushes
back the horizon Of things, lifts
the armament and provides for us
the views of the Infinite Beyond.
Niagara is in It, and the power
and vastness of old Ocean. 1t i'm
presses US like look at the starry
dome Of the heavens, like a dream
OF GOD and immortality.
If Milton had done nothing but
write Paradise Lost" he would
have achieved everlasting fame, as
well as the largest gratitude Of all
the elect OF the earth.
