POETS AND REFORMERS
“ Poets who were sceptics have not been uncommon, but on tlio other hand there is a noble, army of poets of faith, men who loved the Church and the ideals it stood for. even though they belonged to different branches of it —to choose a few names at random, poets like Milton. Drvden, C’owper. X.ewmaii, Kingsley. Drowning.” writes Professor Andrew Rail'd, D.D.. in the “Scots Observer.” “Think of the men who lived for social reform in the last century, and who have been proved to he the prophets of their day, men like Lord Shaftesbury. Charles Dickons. Ruskin. AY. E Gladstone. Frederick Denison Maurice, or in the previous century men like Dean Swift and Bishop Butler. or in our own day. Dean Inge. Were not almost all flic men of vision on the side of organised Christianity, rather than against it?”
