The highest official of his church, the Arch'biship of Can­ terbury, gives us- this ennobling and comforting testimony: “King George’s religion,” he said “was most simple and most reverent, bas­ ed not upon emotion, but upon a reverent sense of duty to God. It showed itself in fixed habits of his life, daily prayers, daily reading of the Bible, attendance every Sunday, wherever he might be, at the public worship of God.” Is not our heart drawn nearer to him in knowing that though he rul­ ed over the largest and mightiest Empire in the world, though in hon­ or and station he outranked any other mortal, though his intellect­ uality drew forth admiration, and socially he moved in aristocracy, yet in his spiritual life he himself a snner among weak and needed the a suppliant Source of found his deficiencies removed 'by the power of prayer. We revere in sacred memory his conviction that, though he ruled over an Empire on which the sun never sets, what is a man profited if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul. We joyfully honor him in death because w^rhave the testimony that he lived gSs a Christian. May our Gracious Lord, in Whose hand lies the issues of oui* nation and the British Empire, grant our new monarch, Edward VIII, a double portion of his father’s virtuous qual­ ities, so that under his reig-n we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.
