7. Senator Claude Pepper, Florida
Democrat, has extended TO his COL
league, Senator Charles o. Andrews,
the privilege of being "the senior
Senator from Florida"-on the basis
of age.
In a formal statement Pepper said
their situation was unprecedented in
that both were elected and sworn at
the same time and that therefore
neither was senior" by service, which
is the usual basis for seniority.
But, to put the matter at rest,
without saying anything at all to
Senator Andrews about it, / think
that Senator Andrews, being an older
man than I and certainly very fine
and gracious gentleman, should have
the honor of being called the senior
Senator" Pepper said.

day. The guests 60 to their appointed
seats: The streets are thronged with
the millions come for a glimpse Of
the great ceremony.
Upon their arrival at the west en-
trance of Westminster Abbey, the
King and Queen are received by the
bishops and lords carrying the regalia.
The procession passes up the nave OF
the church into the choir while the
choristers sing:
II was glad when they said unto
me, We will go into the House Of the
Lord"
This is an intimation Of the religious
significance OF the ceremonials that
are to follow.
The Queen follows the bearers OF
her regalia and proceeds to her chair
of state near the altar. There she re-
mains standing, surrounded by her
mistresses Of robes, ladies in waiting
and regalia bearers.
The King then is escorted to his
chair Of state. Both take their seats
for the recognition, the first official
act Of the coronation ceremony. The
Archbishop Of Canterbury-whob both
by law and by unviolated ancient Gus
tom is the foremost figure in such
oceeding-advances from the altar.
He is accompanied by the lord high
chamberlain, the lord high constable,
the lord high chancellor and the earl
marshal.
"Sirs, here present unto you King
George the Sixth, the undoubted King
Of this realm; wherefore all you who
are come this day to do your homage
and service, are you willing to do the
same"
Four times he repeats this, turning
to the east, the west, the north and the
south. From each direction comes the
response:
God save the King.
THE trumpets sound. The ARCH
bishop proceeds to the altar. The
bearers Of the regalia hand them to

True Gospel, and the Protestant Re-
formed Religion established by law;
and will you maintain and preserve

Church and England and the doctrine.
worship discipline and government
thereof, as by law established in Eng
land; and will you preserve unto the
bishops and clergy OF England and to
the churches committed to their
charge all such rights and privileges
as by law do or shall appertain to
them or any of them?"
"All this I promise to do"
The King rises and proceeds to the
altar, the sword of state carried before
him. He kneels and places his right
hand on the Bible, which the Arch
bishop holds for him. The monarch
repeats:
THE things which have here prom
ised I will perform and keep. So
help me God"
He kisses the Bible, and signs =

taken. He returns to his chair He
and the Queen kneel while the choir
sings, Come, Holy Ghost"
THEN comes the most solemn cere-
mony Of the entire coronation,
the JUNCTION. It IS the central act of
the religious ceremonial The King
receives a sacrament which, from the
religious point Of view, sets him
forever aside from other men. Hence
forth until he dies, perhaps regardless
Of what he may do as an individual,
this special sanction remains with
him.
Once the scriptural authority for
the custom was basis Of the doctrine
Of the divine right Of kings, which
caused no end Of trouble In the world.
The king might be silly ass or he
might be q rnalevolent scoundrel-but
be was the king, forever set apart
from other men.
Today It Is far more than . for
maltty. It formed the basis Of the

archbishop, who is privileged to say
about anything he pleases. In the old
days there were some scorching
TRADES delivered when the preachers
were not we'll satisfied with the moral
state Of the realm. BY far the worst
one was when Charles the II was
crowned in Scotland, England still
being in the hands of the Common
wealth armies. The Bishop of Car
Isle took the opportunity of damning
the new kings father and mother
and the circumstances were such that
there was nothing to be done about
1t. Recent coronation sermons, of
course, have been invariably cir
cumspect and eloquent.
The conclusion Of the sermon marks
the beginning Of the rsslsolemnities
THEN the Archbishop Of Canterbury
administers the oath, the King
sitting in the chair Of state.
"sir, Is Your Majesty willing to
take the oath?"
L am wiling.
"Will you solemnly promise and
swear to govern the people Of this
United Kingdom of Great 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?"
Il solemnly promise so to do"

and justice in mercy to be executed
In all your judgments?"

to the Dean OF Westminster. All are
placed on the altar-the golden spurs,
the ring Of st. Edward, the crown,
the bracelets. All except the swords.
The Bishop OF Bath and Wells and
the Bishop of Oxford chant the litany:
"Oh God, the Father Of Heaven,
have mercy on us miserable sinners"
From the people:
Spare us, good Lord"
The bishops:
"Oh God, the Son, redeemer OF the
world, have mercy on US miserable
sinners.
Spare us, good Lord"
The King remains uncovered during
the litany. Then comes the commun-
Ion service by the Archbishop Of
Canterbury, ending with the recital Of
the creed: II believe in one God, the
Father Almighty, Maker of Heaven
and earth, and Of all things visible
and invisible"
The coronation sermon then is
preached by the Archbishop of York,
according to his ancient prerogative,
dating from the days when the actual
coronation was made prerogative Of
the Archbishop Of Canterbury. Dur
ing the sermon, the King sits facing
the pulpit, with the Archbishop Of
Durham and the lords bearing the
three swords which alone Of the regalia
have not been placed on the altar
Curtana. the pointless sword of mercy,
the blunt sword Of justice to the
spirituality. and the sharp-pointed
sword OF justice to the temporarily.
The length and tenor of the sermon
depend upon the Judgment Of the
Evening star., 1937-05-08

famous diocesan sermon Of the Bishop
OF Bradford. last fall, which pre-
cipitated the abdication of Edward
VIII. Could an ordained clergyman
Of the Church Of England, presum-
ably acting with divine authority
bestow such sacrament upon man
Of whose acts he diapproved? More
especially, as the bishop hastened to
explain, could clergymen Of other
faiths be allowed to take part in such
a ceremony? His contention was that
its religious significance would be made
light Of.
THE amounting ceremony Is per-
formed by the primate Of the
English Church, the Archbishop of
Canterbury, and is preceded by the
prayer: 20 Lord, Holy Father, who
by amounting with oil didst OF old
make and consecrate kings, priests
and prophets to teach and govern thy
people Israel: Bless and sanctify thy
chosen servant George, who by our
Office and ministry is now to be
anointed with this oil and consecrated
King Of this realm; strengthen him,
o Lord, with the Holy Ghost, the Com
forter; confirm and stablish (cx) him
with Thy free and princely spirit, the
spirit Of wisdom and government, the
spirit Of counsel and ghostly strength,
the spirit Of knowledge and true
godliness; and f1ll him, o Lord, with
the spirit Of Thy holy fear, now and
forever. Amen"
The choir sings The King is d.
vested Of his crimson regal robe and
takes OF his ermine-lined cap Of
state. He rises. Four earls hold
over his head canopy Of cloth Of
gold. He walks slowly to the altar and
sits in the chair Of st. Edward, over
the Stone of Scone, or Of Destiny, In
which all his royal ancestors, with q
single exception, have received the
sacrament since the first Edward. The
King kneels.
The Dean Of Westminster takes
from the altar the ampulla, the golden
Evening star., 1937-05-08

something different from what he was
before and different from other men
He is, to paraphrase the biblical
phrase, born again" He is the re-
cipient Of sacrament which can
never be abrogated. The coronation
is a solemn compact between the King
and his people and the King and his
God, which remains in force as long
as he lives.
Such is the religious point Of view
From another point of view, the coro-
nation is a great and colorful drama
the drama Of the history Of England
The ancient Celts and their forest
gods, the earliest Christians in their
lonely monasteries, the Saxon con-
querors, the Morse sea rovers, the
mailed Normans, the plumed Plan
tagenets, the tartaned Stuarts, Arthur
and Merlin, the saints and the war
riors, he Black Prince and Shake
speare-all enter into the sublime
ceremony. 1t is all that England is
or has been-and all epitomized In
one individual. the King. Threads
drawn from the dimmest depths OF
the races past are drawn together in
the person of an individual. He Is
for better Or worse, England.
At such a drama even the scoffer
at the religious significance OF the
ceremony may well stand abashed
He must sense, as perhaps never be-
fore, contact with and perhaps identi-
flcation with the fathomless past OF
the speakers of his tongue. There
is the music of trumpet and drum and
the singing Of choristers. There is
an unheard music-wild highland love
and battle songs, the shouting of the
yoemen at Agincourt, the roar of the
guns at Waterloo, the sound of the
bagpipes at Lucknow.
THE coronation ceremony is always
held at Westminster Abbey, burial
place of the greatest of the British
race. There the bearers OF the regalia,
the flags of the empire, and the others
who are to take part in the ceremony
gather on the morning Of coronation
