What a pleasant surprise this sordid old world got when it was presented with all these things in reality. -All them were there last Thursday morning, and much more too. Once again, probably the first time for some of the younger generation, many people were impressed with -the sacredness of the marriage ceremony, Marriage, and he marriage relationship were ordain- ed by God and it is still the Holy onds of Matrimony. Whom God has joined together let no man put asunder.

He must have hought some mischievous . lad had slipped through the restraining wall of policemen into. that reserved area. He nunediately called to the boy and es- corted him into the crowd of sight- seers. The youngster went willingly nough, 'but we wonder what that pol- • iceman thought when he learned that the boy was the king of Iraq? Another youth, quite a bit older than the king of Iraq, was jammed in the milling crowd in front of Buckingham palace. He couldn't see what was go- ing on, so he edged over to the fence in front of the palace and climbed .a pillar beside a gate. Two policemen unavailingly tried to coax or order him down, and then climbed up after him. There was a parapet around a smaller pillar atop the bottom one, and the thousands of amused spectators got a laugh as the Bobbies played tag after the lad around the smaller pillar. Then the youth scrambled across the ledge and grill-work at the top of .the gate, A. Bobby was climbing the pillar at hat side of the gate to intercept him, so he slid to the ground ahead of the following policemen. The youth easily eluded the Bobbies iu that Ain-packed crowd. which seemed pleased to have he policemen cheated of their prey. We know a Wingham veteran of World War One, who can ..youch for the fact that it is easy to evade poliee- men in a London mob in front 'of Buckingham palace. He happened to be . leave in London the day that General Maude, the hero of the Meso- ,etatnian campaign, was being honored the king. There was a tremendous erowd of people in front of the palace that day and he was in that mob. ny Canadians were notoriously lax out saluting and coming to _attention cry time the K. R. & .0.
