o'clock Wednesday morning to hold, in

George V.D
Rev. D. J. Lane, of Knox church,

short passages of Scripture which
were favorites of King George. They
were the 23rd Psalm and John 14:
1-C. The reading was followed by the
Lord's Prayer, repeated in unison.
Rev. F. W. ('rack, of Victoria street
United church, told the chilbren of the
great sovereign who passed away "as
.silently se the snow falls or as the
dew appears open the rose." In the
twenty-sixth year of his reign. The
speaker told of the King's habit of
reading • portion of the Scriptures
daily, as be had promised his mother,
Queen Alexandra.
Our beloved sovereign was gener-
ous. kind, thoughtful, devoted, unaf-
fected and dutiful. He had • keen
sense of his duty towards his God,
his country and his people. Within
four months of the start of the Great
War he was en the battlefields with
his soldiers, and yet he was humble
