Mr. Jolliffe took for les text the words "Tice Cedar, the Cedar of Leb- anan has Fallen," His address was a resume of King Edward's reign and was an eloquent tribute to the many splendid qualities which were mani- fested during that reign.

Rev. C. R. Gunne in a brief ad. dress spoke eloquently of the wide- spreaxl and genuine grief which was manifested at the death of leis' Meets- ty, King Edward VII., and in trying to fatharn the reetsan for thio univer- sal sorrow he dwelt particularly up- on His Majesty's efforts in behalf of world-wide peace. "It was tine qual- ity of the peacemaker which was a Measure of the Devine in hint," said the rector, "which made hint so• uni- versally beloved and ro sincerely mourned," and he gave it as his op- inion that the influence exerted by the late monarch would have a lest- ing effect upon the nations of the World ; that nations would hesitate before going to war, as a result of lcthe influence exerted against it dur- ing the nine yearsof Edward's reign. The hymn "Peace, Perfect Peace," was sung and then, the congregation till standing, the organist played he Dead March "Saul," accompan- ied by Mr, Phelan en the violin ;„ the reeler gave the benediction., and with heads still bowed one 'Verse of "'Clod Save the Xing" . was sung.
