By special arrangement the
Duke of Argyll contributes to the
May 18th issue of the Youths
Companion an article on the ap-
preaching Coronation. He des-
cribes fully the ancient privileges
enjoyed by certain families in con-
nection with the coronation; also
the ceremonial itself-the anoint-
ing, the presenting of the scepter
and orb, and the final browning
1t is significant Of the feeling OF
warm friendship existing between
the two great English-speaking
peoples that the brother-in-law Of
England's King should be regu-
lar contributor to the most repre-
sentative family paper in America.
Perhaps IL was THIS thOughC Oh
how much the two nations have in
common-the same ancestry, the
same speech, the same ideals under
different forms Of government
which suggested the closing lines
of the Dukes article:
''For both kings and presidents
the real crown is the love of the
people; the real amounting is the
love of God; the real scepter IS the
respect OF those Of their day; the
real orb Of empire is the verdict of
history on their life and times"

Who will whisper words of cheer?
