someone had called the 11th chapter
of Hebrews an ancient Westminster
Abbey, because of its containing
monuments and tablets erected to
commemorate the deeds of eminent
men in different walks of life. So
in tliis 11th chapter of Hebrews- we
have the epitaphs of great men and
good men—of men and women who
figured in God’s ancient church of
whom it might be said: He being
dead yet speaketh. So may it be
said of our departed Sovereign King
George V, he being dead, yet speak
eth.
We are gathered here this morn
ing as a body of. loyal citizens to pay
our last tribute to our late King
and Friend and join with his mil
lions of sorrowing loyal subjects.
The British Empire, in fact the'
whole world , stands under the
shadow of a great gloom. The King,
whom we loved and honored, is
dead. Canada is sharing in fullest
measure, the great sorrow of the
United Kingdom and other parts of
the British Empire. To-day an
empire mourns the death* of a well
beloved King and all ’ th.e„>fvorld is
saddened by the loss W;dh eminent'
personage richly endowed with the'
best attributes of humanity.
