A MEMORIAL To
THE LATE KING
Continued From Page One.)

which it shall please God to call me-"
Prince Albert the Good Victoria the
Great and Good, ana the appointed
tutors, all sought to bear upon the
mind of the young prince what it
would mean of responsibility to be
the supreme earthly authority over
hundreds of millions of souls.
81 think l have done my duty" Men
knew that what he thought was true.
They knew also that he did his duty
wisely, tactfully ana kindly, winning
men rather than repelling them, as
he did it.
1t is this sense of duty in people
and ruler which has contributed most
largely to England's greatness. It
has not been glory which has been
the animating spirit UT her great men,
+ it has been duty. Duty to fellow men
led her to emancipate the West Indian
slaves at a cost of one hundred mil
/ lion dollars. Duty to brother men led
/ her to give to conquered Beers the
privileges of free men. And duty has
! led her again to consider right rather
! than gain.
If the sense of duty is deep in the
heart of people there will be no
grating gain and patriotism will not
be a mere profession of the lips but
reality of the heart. We need as
men, we need as citizens of various
countries to learn the lesson of DUTY
as people, as officials, as men having
part in the great worlds life.
The second lesson is peace among
the nations. Jesus Christ planted the
seed of peace which shall one day bear
prevailing fruitage. The Fatherhood
of God and the Brotherhood of man
made real in Him is the leavening
truth which is permeating social or
der and which is making for peace.
king Edward used his relationship
with Kings, his knowledge of men, MS
grasp of affairs, his kindly DISPOSE
ton, all to bring the powers to a bet
ter understanding. BY personal visits
he strove to show friendship and TO
promote it, It was far more com
fort, to him, you may be sure, as he
lay dying to think Of what he hal
done in the interests of peace. than
to have looked back upon conquered
hosts and fields Of agony and blood.
God grant that the spirit which
he strove to arouse and maintain may
live and grow until the Council Cham
Der and not the battle field shall be
the theater of arbitration for all dis
putes among the nations.
In speaking of the late King shall
We forget the woman who is most
loved in England today. The gentle,
wise, and good woman who has been
King Edwards queen. l may be Tyr
doned for giving expression of me-
mory which comes to me of standing
with my father long years ago to see
the fair Princess from Denmark en-
ter London as a bride. She won that
day the hearts of a people who have
always loved her.
Happy and twice blessed nation 10
have had two women with so potent
an influence for good as King Ed
wards Mother and Ting Edwards
wife.
And now we go our way and may
the memory of this service do its part
in cementing the friendship of ma
lions and making living fact of the
brotherhood Of man.
The following prayer was said be-
fore the benediction:
Almighty and Everlasting God ana
Heavenly Father, who hast made of
one blood all nations of men to dwell
on the face OF the whole earth, look
down We beseech Thee with compass
sion upon our Brethren Of the British
Empire, whomThou hast bereaeved of
their earthly ruler. Comfort and
bless the members or the Royal Fam
, lily in this their time of trial and
loss, and guard with Thy special bless
ing him who is called to the high Of
fee and great responsibility of King
and Emperor of so many millions of
