nation When she entered upon her reign loyalty
had been trhed with and strained by the petu-
liant caprices and autocratic manners Of the
Georges. 1t her privilege and good fortune
to win back popularity FOR the royal house by
demonstrating that the business OF reigning could
be rendered both reputable and useful under a
constitutional system She has done this by de-
voting her life TO the service Of the State by
submitting cheerfuy to her daily drudgery Of
examining official papers and studying public af-
fairs. and by developing sound judgment and real
capacity for government. AT the same time she
has kept herself. even in her period Of seClusOn.
constantly before the eyes Of the English people
and magniiied the importance Of everything con-
nected with royalty. The details Of her daily life
are 20 be read every day in the court circulars.
no eminent parsonage sckens or dies without
royal inquiries and messages: no public service
of exceptional value or danger escapes her recOg
milton; no unusual calamity. whether in col
liery or sea. ever occurs without drawing from
her a sympathetic expression Of sorrow. The
Queen even in retirement has not been FAR re-
moved from the daily life Of the English people.
She has seemed TO be deeply interested 81 every
thing that going on, and thereby has en-
deared herself TO her subjects.
The Queen undoubtedly loves power and clngs
with intensity OF purpose 10 every privilege ~
her exalted station. This was perhaps one Of the
secret motives for summOning the Prime Minister
to the castle a day when he was preoccupied
with anXietieS and responsibilities, and could i'll
afford the time required for the Journey TO Wind
sor Whether uncOnscOusly or with premedita
ton. she gave the nation significant Illustration
Of the fact that even under constitutlonaI condl-
tons the Queen not only reigns but also governs
her realm. and personally directs foreign policies.
This commemorative year finds her in lnhrm
health after the longest reign in English history.
but there is not a hint Of abdcati0n or surrender
Of power. Authority is as the breath Of life TO
her even at the close Of an unexampled reign,
and il acts upon her a tonic and helps 10 keep
her mind clear and to sustain her failing strength.
While she loves power she does not abuse its
privileges. but has high sense Of royal obliga-
