They saw him wearing his cap Of GRIM

lain, preceded by the sword Of state, so
to the altar and there lay his right hand
on the Bible and say: "The things which
I have here before promised will per-

When they heard the 'rVivatr' OF the
J. 1000-voiced choir and saw these over
sea members Of the empire, the princes
of the blood royal and all the peers put
on the coronets and pronounce their
words Of homage, the first of every or
der of the peers ascending the throne
and touching the crown upon Georges
head and kissing his cheek, thus mutely
promising to support his dynasty, there
could have been none from the farthest
isle where our flag flies whose heart did
not throb with admiring, loyal SYM
pathy.
Proud of Young Prince.
AS they saw the young Prince Of
Wales, so like his father as remember
him twenty-five years ago, on his knees.
dof1ng his coronet, and as the Kings
'1iege man of life and limb swear to
live and die for him against all manner
Of folks" so young, SO simple, 30 gentle,
with radiant sincerity and high feeling
shining in his face, the eyes of the thou
sands who had never seen him before
were made hopeful and glad. Father and
mother and son, King, Queen, and prince,
these three expressed to-day by their
sober, gracious natural nien the charac-
ter of the British race virtues.
1t is no wonder that from Buckingham
Palace to the broad sanctuary and inside
the sacred edifice, where through SO many
generations princes and people have
sought for inspiration to do "the things
that be right" and all the way back up
Whitehall, through Pail Mall, up st.
James street, along Piccadilly and down
Constitution Hill to their home again,
there should have been one long plaudit,
one endless cry, God save the King"
1t was endless; it was sincere.
George represents an ideal daily be-
coming vivid and convincing more prac-
teal and attainable. He stands for the
empire, for its unity, its stability, its
organization as cooperative power. That
was apparent to-day in the abbey and
outside.
Young Royalty Charming.
Nothing got to the hearts Of the peo-
pie in the streets more than the charms
of the children of the King as they drove
to the Abbey. And inside the Abbey a
thrill of warm religion ran through all
hearts as the young princes and their
sister Mary, her long robe carried be-
hind her, yet with her dress scarcely
to her ankles, passed up the long aisle
to their places, and as they were waiting
for the King to pass out to the west
door again they stood together by the
Prince of Wales and whispered to him
in childlike confidence.
The applause that greeted the chill
dren was deafening and was only sur
passed by that which greeted King
George and Queen Mary. 1t is singular
that next to the children OF the King
the children of the German Emperor,
the crown prince and his young, pretty
consort, were the most popular, with the
public.
In view of the many years of
doubtful regard, this outburst OF to-day
was most significant and satisfying.
