The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-05-12

as those in the audience shouted again and again:
 God Save The King!"
 Princess Margaret Rose was quiet at last, Queen Mary had given her pair of opera glasses to peer through at the people.
 Trumpets Sounded
 The peers put on their coronets. The trumpets sounded and, at the Tower of London far away in the old City of London, the guns of a royal salute boomed out.
 God crown you with crown of glory and righteousness :" said the Archbishop.
 The choir chanted:
 ".Be strong and play the man: keep the commandments of the Lord thy God, and walk in his ways"
 The Archbishop presented the king then with Gold Bible from the altar
 "Our gracious king, we present you with this book, the most valu- able thing that this world affords. Here is wisdom; this is the royal law; these are the oracleS of God"
 The king gave the bible back.
 Now the benediction was pro- nounced and the king was en- throned.
 He went to the throne of state and was lifted on to it by the Arch bishops and Bishops and the great nobles stood round him.
 Stand firm and hold fast from henceforth the seat and the state of royal and imperial dignity" ex- horted the Archbishop .. And the Lord God Almighty, whose min- isters we are, and the stewards of his mysteries, establish your throne in righteousness, that it may stand fast for ever more, like as the sun before him."
 All Paid Homage
 The Archbishop and the Bishops knelt and paid their formal homage to the king. The Archbishop kissed the kings left cheek. The Duke of Gloucester, the kings brother, took off his coronet, knelt before the king. The. other royal princess knelt with him and repeated:
 "I,--, do become your liege man of life and limb. and of earth ly worship; and faith and truth I will bear unto you, to live and die, against all manner of folks. So help me God"
 SalvOes of Guns
 Outside, where the saluting sal- voes of guns reached the crowd as more than the faint echo here, the people stood bareheaded in almost complete silence, paying their own homage to the king.
 The peers of non royal degree, from the dukes to the barons, knelt and paid their own homage.
 Leaders of each degree approach ed the king and kissed his cheek.
 The homage ended. The drums rolled and the trumpets sounded sonorouSly.
 God Save King George!" shouted the crowd. Long Live King GeOrge!
 May the King Live For Ever!" Kings Trying Role Ends
 The kings long, trying role was ended.
 It had been whispered that his speech impeachment would be embar- rassing; that he could not stand the strain physically. But on the con- trary he became more confident as the ceremony proceeded. The color had returned to his pale face. His apparent nervousness was no longer seen. He grasped his sword firmly. His nervousness returned for a moment when he divested himself of his erInine cape and crimson robe for the amounting, and his fingers shook. A clergyman approached and helped him.
 Queen Elizabeth's eyes were fixed anxiously on him, and she relaxed as he proceeded.
 Queen Mary looked calmly through her lorgnette.
 Margaret Rose fidgeted, and ten tatively felt downward for the floor with her toes. She began swinging her feet back and forth.
