As I write, a brilliant sun, set pa cloudless sky, is drenciing in ~rays the grent outdoors. Days sudh as this were a joy, nany long years ago, ta a coterie pf lads who, in October could be »und ,percled in the boughs cf 'Squire" Sylvester's apple trees, fatlering the abundant fruit at 'two-bits" per day, witi meals- ind cider. I do not recail tie Columbus umong us wio first discovered the keg cf tasty beverage in the 'Squire's" celler, but thereafter bach ttip with a basket of fruit iras punctuated by a generous kelping, mad ail went merry as a marringe bell, until we ,on yen- lure bent, decided ta sample an- ?ther keg, which proved ta be o! koarynage, endawed with patent kck, as we found ta our chagrin, when, like nutumn leaves, we be- j> fan ta faîl from the trees with IP ,ulnful regularity. The austere old "Squire" soon sensed the situ- ation and bundled us off home before any bones were broken, and when next morning, we re- ported fer duty, tic temptation hadbeen removcd. Doubtless there are still those oif my own vintage who can recal die "Squire" witi lis ralling gait, tiend sligitly cockcd ta one side.

Symbollsm of M» Royal Weddling By Lewis Milligan Whatever fear there was tînt tic people cf Great Britain were turning away from their national traditions was dispclled by thc en- thusiastic loyalty ta tic Crown expressed on the occasion o! the wedding o! Princess Elizabeth. Tic pageantry o! regal splendor whicl passed between Bucking- ham Palace and Westminster Ab-~ bey lad neyer been more brilliant and impressive in thc pempous days o! tic Great Elizabeth or Queen Victoria. Coming as it did in ticeniidst e! a period e! drab and depressing austerity, the cal- orful and romantic spectacle lifted the people above their environ- ment and releascd their suppress- cd spirits in an outburst of jubila- tion. Even we in Canada, wio lave experienced littie or nothing o! the stress and strain through which the people o! Britain have passed, felt an emotional uplift and exhilaration as we listened ta tic broadcast descriptions o! tic royal procession and tic rapturous chorus o! hli a million jcyful voices along thc route. "And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and ns tic voice of many waters, and as tic sound a! miglty tiunderings, saying, Alleluin; for tic Lord God omnipotent reigneti. "Let us be glad and rejoice, and give lonor to him; for tic mar- niage a! tic Lamb is came, and lis wifc hath made lerself rcady." "And ta 1er was granted tînt she slould be arrayed in fine lin- en, clcan and white: for tic linen is tic igiteousncss of tic saints." It is fia sacilege ta apply tic abave Scrîpture ta tic occasion of thc Royal Wedding. The people o! Britain did nat regard this mar- niage merely as tic linking -o! a young man and woman in tic bonds o! matrimony. The occa- sion represented ail o! that in its mast sacrcd form, and tic broad- cast of tic ceremony in tic Abbcy, with its dignificd yct simple ritual, must have brought home ta mil- lions o! listeners tiraughout tic world thc sanctity and benuty o! Christian marriage. That was surely needed in these times when marriages are too often entered inta ligitly and broken witl tic same indifference toward tic plighted troti. But tiere was far more in and lencati thc voice o! tiat great multitude than tic acclamation a! a bride and bridegroom. The oc- casion wns highly symbolic. To tic British people tic Royal House, with its central Throne, is a symbol o! authority and stability in government, and it stands for aIl tiat is noble and cnduring in the life o! the nation. After six terrible years o! war, this was tic fîrst cpportunity the people lad ta proclaim their loyalty ta tic great traditions o! tic past and their faiti in their future destiny under divine Providence; In the midst o! privations and national crisis tic people lifted up their hearts in a "vaice o! migity tiunderings, saying, Allelula 1 for the Lard God omnipotent reig- neti!" That voice eciocd round tic world, and it was rc-echoed in the icants o! aIl people wio- le- lieve in tic ultimate triumph o! Love and Rigiteousness under tic, omnipotent rule o! tic King o! Kings. Let us pray tint tic Royal Wedding may le a symbolic pre- lude ta tic conference o! tic fore- ign ministers in London, thnt tic Scripture may be !ul!illcd:, "Mcrcy and Truth are met togetier; Rigi- teousness and Pence have kisscd enci otier."
