Laing spoke on seme of the! loutstanding features of the king's greatness. As men regarded great men, the late king was a great man. flis greatness was found in his Home waining. It was in the home, where he had obtained the noble idea of what waa right and wrong, and ! that would be of benefit to the world. . He arose to the occasion, and proved himself to be worthy of his mother's reign. i The king was a mighty statesman, and in this respect had few equals.

Dr. Mackie, pastor of St. Andrew's, splendidly chanted the 23rd Psalm. Rev. ~ Pr. Macgillivray, of Chalmers, led in prayer. The congregation joined the choir in the singing of several hymns The lesson was read by Dr. Mackie, and was followed with prayer by Rev. Dr. MacTavish, of Cooke's church. The choir sang Dudley Buck's magni- ficent compo tion, "Blessed Are The Dead." Special mention must be made of the unique character and ex- cellence of the musical part of the ser- vice. The 14th band, under the diree- tion of Band Sergeant O'Neil, played with a style and finish which charac- terized the director as a music mas- ter and his band as a musical organi- zation of much promise. The address delivered by the Very Rev.! Principal Gordon, of Queen's University, was intensely sympathetic and equally eloquent. He spoke as follows : Were 1 choosing a verse of scripture as the text of my remarks, this morn- ing, T might select the words uttered by King David over Abner, (11 Samuel iii-38) : "Know ye mot that there is 'a prince and a great man fallen this day is Israel ¥" We meet here, to-day, ms citizens of a great empire, in sympathetic touch with our fellow-citizens, not only in London and in every other cily of the motherland, but also in all parts of Greater Brit- ain, the overseas dominions that girdle the earth. Seldom, if ever, have the thoughts of ko many been centred on one service ms are focused to-day upow the burial of King Ed- ward: seldom, if ever, have the pray- ers of so many been united for the divine blessing to rest upon the head of any mortal 'as ave rising in unison to-day on behalf of King George. Our flags have been floating at half- mast for a fortnight. The pulse of the nation has been stirred with un- usual emotion. The sympathy of other nations has been expressed more deeply than ever before. The press of the world has been more occupied with this than with any previous topic. It surely is well for us on such an oe- easion to put ourselves in the fellow- ship of meditation, and prayer with all throughout the world who mourn the death of our late illustrious sovereign, and who own allegiance to the Hrit- ish throne. 4 What can be said by us regarding our dead king that has not already bein read by us all in the press ? We hive been daily reminded of the main incidents of his life and the outstand- ing features of his character, especial- ly of those that so greatly endeared him to the nation and those that en- abled him to wield so great an influ- ence in promoting the peace of the world, ; 4 The motto which he bore as Prince of Wales was tha brief "Ich Dien," "I gerve." and, amid the temptations and difficulties of his lofty and lonely position, and beneath the fierce light that beats upon a throne, he was faithful and true to that motto. In the long run it is the lie of service, the life of Helpfulness, the life that seeks E. Burke, Rev. E. Tennant, Rev. F. H Our jae loving esteem. The citizens of King- After ou Br Sle ston, more than many others, have : had touching proof that he possesses | the sympathy and the tact so charac- 8 teristic 'of his father. When, as Duke of Cornwall, nearly nine years ago he visited our city, to lay the founda. tion stone of the main arts building which the city had given to Queen's, the distinguished principal of the uni- versity lay seriously ill in the hos pital. The duke passed on his way to the campus, where a vast multitude was awaiting him, turned aside into the hospital, visited the sick man in his room, and there gave him the hadge of the Order of St. Michael and St. George, which the king had com- missioned him to confer. HK, in his public career, he can bear himself as fittingly as in that private act, .we shall have great cause for gratitude Diffienlties lie before him, but we trust that as a wise and constitution- al ruler he may overcome them. The statesmanship of Britain is not dead nor is it declining, and : ranted in the hope that king and people will be led together in the path of wisdom and safety and progress. ; As we think, to-day, of the mourn- ing of a mighty nation, extending from tie sqlemn funeral pageant at 132 Ladies" Umbrellas : : "+ 13° settlement.

With the memory of the stately memorial service for the Great Queen still fresh in their hearts the congre- gation of the cathedral church of St. Gecrge were, on Friday, summoned to prayers in dutiful memory of Edward V1lI., king and ocmperor, her son. Loopings of violet, banded with Black, stretched from pillar to pillar up the nave, violet veiled the front of the golleries, where the batteries and cadets were massed, violet crossed the en- sigr. on the pulpit, and the flags, the ensign and our Canadian flag, at either side of the revedos, were band- ered with violet, and even above the high altar itself was the badge of royal mourning, throwing into strong belief the flowers which struck the note of dtmmortality amid the trap- pings of death. All the city clergy, were in the procession with the ca- thedral staff and the lord bishop of the diocese and came into their places, singing, with choir and congregation, "0 God Our Help in Ages Past." The opening sentences of the burial office, beginning, "I am the reswrreetion and the life," were intoned and Psalm XC, song to its wailing minor chant. Rev. W. F.
