The coronation was preceded by
ceremonies medieval in pomp. When

and showers fell, but as the king and
queen left Buckingham palace the
heavens smiled and a flood Of sun.

Through streets lined with mil
lions Of people from every nook and
corner of the earth, guarded by So.
600 troops. thhe king. in his state
coach, attended by couriers in car
riages and generals on horseback,
proceeded to Westminster Abbey.
AT the west door of the famous
edifice the royal coach halted. The
kings and queens the princes and
princesses, the MOBILES and special
delegates of all nations, who filed
the abbey to overflowing, arose as
King George entered. At that mo-
ment a ringing ''Vivat," rang out,

Canterbury, turning to the four points
OF the compass, addressed the assem-
blage
Sirs, here present to you King

realm. Wherefore, all you who arel

service, are you willing to do the
same?"

in unison from the loyal subjects.
Then the trumpets sounded, and
the ancient ceremonials of the crown
ing Of Britain's kings went on and
on. while outside the patriotic mil
lions Of modern London howled them
selves hoarse. forgetful for the mo-
ment Of the spirit Of democracy
which is abroad in the land and which
has reduced the king and his mobiles
to the status of puppets.
Following the litany, the introit
and the sermon. the king took the
oath, which was as follows:
VIII you solemnly promise and
swear to govern the people of this
united kingdom of Greet Britain
and Ireland, and the dominions
thereto belonging according to the
statutes in parliament agreed on and
the respective laws and customs of
the same? VIII you to your power
cause law and justice. in mercy, to be
executed in all your judgments? Will
you to the utmost Of your power
to maintain the laws of God, the true
profession of the gospel and the Pro

government thereof, as by law estab

Sovereign Takes the Oath.
Then the king, the sword of state
carried tefore him, proceeded to the
altar and, uncovered, his right hand
upon the great Bible, took the oath.
Next came the amounting with oil.
The king was divested of his Grim
son robes and four Knights of the
Garter held over him a pail of cloth
Of gold, while the choir chanted;

prophet, anointed Solomon king, and
