with the following sentiments:
! TT can hardly be denied that the
greatness of England today is, in a
large measure, due to those traits in
Her Majesty which have endeared her
so to the hearts OF her people. Her
reign has been a wonderful one, not
only has it exceeded in length, that of
any predecessor but during its period,
the whole world would almost seem to
have sprung from darkness into light.
1t seems to have been the turning
point of education and discovery. The
arts, sciences, literature, invention and
learning along all its lines, have
awakened in a degree almost magical
or incOmprehensible.
ut has surely been a famous reign.
Truly we mourn today for sovereign,
but not without hope. You and l. and
all, as she may rise to life once more
and hold it through eternity, we too
may meet our loved ones; and the
crown of life belongs to those who win
it.
"Truly a good Queen, a devoted
mother, holy woman and a sincere
friend, whom, from henceforth, we
. shall know only on the pages of his
tory"

= She realized deeply that England ant
America, one in blood, one in langu

and one in the traditions of liberty
