Coronation Has Two-Fold Purpose The great service and ceremony of the Coronation would be mere vanity unless it had a purpose. The rpose is in fact two-fold. The i Queen is to he solemnly hallowed Mend set apart for her unique task 3 nd is to dedicate herself to it. Then she is to be endowed with grace and power to perform it. Let us take the dedication first. It has several logical stages which service makes apparent. The very is the Recognition, which rm that this is the rson who is to be dedicated to office of a Queen. Then this chosen person makes her promises and takes her oath to do her duty in this high office, and is presented with the Holy Bible. Then she is anointed and thus set apart, indeed cognition is anticipated by greeting of the forty Queen's Schol- ars of Westminster from their tra- ditional place in the triforium. "Vivat " is their ery, as the Queen passes on her way. Arrived at 'the Theatre', af- ter brief preliminaries the Arch- bishop presents the Queen to the congregation in the choir and tran- septs as their lawful Sovereign. Their loud acclamations express their recognition of her as such. This form of recognition is said to come down to us from our Anglo- Saxon ancestors. William the Con- queror's Norman men-at-arms out- side the Abbey at his Coronation mistook the sounds for the tumult of an insurrection, and rushed in and laid about them with tragic re- sults. Certainly the acclamations are intended to asser that the Sov- ereign has popular approval, and there will be no mistaking them at Queen Elizabeth's Coronation. This is the Recognition. Next comes the Queen's dedication of herself to her high duties by the making of those promises of which she spoke in her broadcast on Christmas Day. These promises, in questions put to a Bishop at his Consecration. They comprise the chief of those duties which she is to receive grace to perform through the rites and ceremonies that are to follow. They are ratified by the Coronation Oath which confirms and supplements that which the Queen took at the time of her Ac- cession to the Trone, and now takes again, She promises to ern according to the laws, and to protect the Church. Then comes the third and de- 'ling forms all the the form of questions put to her by | | the Archbishop, correspond to the sacramental of all the eeremon- ies, except of course that great mystery of the Lord's Body and Blood which she will receive in its proper place. The consecration of persons and things by anointing with oil is a practice found in vary- world over. Though it has largely fallen into disuse in our modern world, most of us are more or less aware of it, for we are aware of a certain un- defined sanctity attaching to the Stone of Scone in the Coronation Chair, connected with the legend that it is the very stone on which Jacob laid his head at Bethel when he slept and dreamed of angels ascending and descending on a lad- der set up between heaven and |earth, At least the Stone of Scone - | is a reminder of the anointing there recorded: '"And Jacob awaked out 'of his sleep, and he said, Surely {the Lord is in this place, and I cisive stage of the Dedication. The knew it not. And Jacob rose up Queen will be anointed with oil, |early in She morning and took the and this is the most mystical and stone that e had put for his pil- ROOM AND BOARD lows, and set it up for a pillar, and poured oil upon the top of it." (Genesis 28). The idea of anointing the Sovef- eign may have been in actual fact derived from the Old Testament. One of the most ancient parts of the rite looks back to King Solo- mon's Anointing. The oil is com- pounded from a special recipe and consecrated. Shakespeare speaks memorably of the balm or balsam with which the king is anointed: 'The balm, the sceptre, and the ball, The sword, the mace, the crown imperial, The intertissued robe of gold and pearl.' (Henry V. 4.1.) an 'Not all the water in the rough, rude sea Can wash the balm from an anoint ed king.' (Richard II. 3.2.) The Anointing is the symbol of the hallowing of the Sovereign. It is, as it has always been, the heart of the whole ceremony. Indeed the rest of the ceremonies lose much of their meaning unless this dedication and consecration of the Queen are borne in mind. She has the right to be crowned because she is a person solemnly set part and vowed to certain duties. British Royal Coaches Not Noted For WASHINGTON -- Vehicular transportation for: Britain's mon- archs has come a long way since {the first Queen Elizabeth jolted iover London's ruts in a springless | coach some 400 years ago, but it |is going to slip backward nearly 200 years at Elizabeth II. the coronation of | In the coronation parade the | queen will ride in the royal coach of state, an ornate, gilded, four- ton vehicle pulled by eight Srey horses, complete with outri i The coach was built for George II in 1761 and first used by him in 1762, says the National Geogra- phic Society. At that time it was the latest thing in luxurious personal trans- portation; although its "springs" were (and sill are) long leather straps that did little to level chuck holes and bumps, even at the max- amum speed of three miles an hour. "DISAGREEABLE LATION" Queen Victoria disliked the coach because of a "disagreeable oscilla- Comfort tion" induced by the leather sus- pension system, an oscillation said to give passengers the impression they are crossing the English Channel on a stormy day. The first Queen Elizabeth, a cap- able horsewoman, disliked her coach too, but she accepted the discomfort and set the fashion for her successors on the theory that it was more becoming for femi- nine royalty to 'relax' in an elaborate vehicle than to jog about on horseback. Horse-drawn provided personal transpo: for British monarchs until well into the auto- motive age. Some members of the royal family prided themselves, as did other gentlemen of their time, in their ability to drive four horses at once. Today, except when pageantry demands use of the royal coach, British royalty rides in automo- biles -- usually large and fortable Daimler ousines, "THE SCALDED CAT" Elisabeth and her husband, the Duke of Edinburgh maintain the com- | THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE, Tuesday, May 26, 1008 13 limousine tradition but they have e ded on i. The Queen owns a light Daimler, given her on her 21st when she was still heir presumptive. She learned to drive during the war and once ace guards by arriving at the of an army car. She is reported to do little or no driving now. The Duke, however, not only drives his own car, but has earned his wings as an airplane pilot. In the automotive field his pride is a special Rolls sport car called "The Scalded Cat", with a rated speed of 130 miles an hour. He bought '"The Scalded Cat" for $17,- 900 in 1950. LAST STRAW DEPARTMENT DALLAS (AP)--After burglars had entered his "Busy Bee Cafe" 25 times in the last four years, G. H. Ford decided there was a good chance they'd come again. He rigged up his prize 12-gauge shot- gun with a string from the trigger to a window. Monday police said Ford reported burglary No. 28 had ocourred.
