Text of the King's Speech.
"My Lords and Gentlemen: My heart is too fulhfor me to address you
to -day hi more than a fevr words. It is my sorrowful duty to announce
to you the death of my dearly loved father, the Xing. In this irrepar-
able loss, whieh has so suddenly fallen upon me and upon the whole Enn
Ore, I am eotnforted by the feeling that I have the sympathy of my future
subjects, who will mourn with me for their beloved Sovereign, whose own
happiness wete found in sharing and promoting theirs. I have lost not only
a fathezei love, but the affectionate and intimate relations of a dear friend
and adviier. No less confident am in the unilveraal loving synipathy
which imtutenred to my dearest mother in her everlasting grief.
"Standing- here a, little more than nine .years ago our beloved Mng
de,clo,red ehat as long es there was breath in his body he would work for
the good and amelioration of his people. I am sure that the opinion of
the whole nation is that this decision has been hilly carried out. To en -
dewier to Mot; his footsteps and at the same time to uphold the consti-
tutional gevernment of these realms will be the earnest object of my
life.
"I am 'deeply sensible of the very heavy responsibilities vrhieh have
fallen upon me. know that can rely upon Parliament and upon the
people of these islancle and of my dominions beyond the seas for their help
in the disehariKof these arduous duties, and- for their prayers that God
will grant Me eteeitgth and guidance. I am encouraged by the knowledge
that I have inmse dear wife one who will be a constitut helpmate in
every endeavoriferhmr people's good."

THE NEW KING,
King George's personality is sa fore-
most topic of discussion wherever men
meet in London. The various sketches
that have been published of him add lit-
tle or nothing to the small stock et pub-
lic knowledge regarding him. His speech
to the Privy Cooed' on Saturclay is re-
garded as a model of all that such a
speech should be, and it is to be noted
that the text as published in the official
Gazette cloeely agrees with the sum-
mary of the speech given by one who
heard, it. It ie elitimed by one bio-
grapher, who writes 'with some show of
authority, that King George is a firet-
class speaker. Accoeding to this writer,
the King is a born grater. It might be
imagilled that he would be content to
let others prepare his oretions, but this
is not the ease,

The role Queen Mary will play at the
new court has been the subject of con
siderable speculation,. The Prince and
Princess of Wales (the new Ring and
Queen) led such conaparatively retired
lives that it is difficult to form an opin-
ion, but it is almost safe to a.ssert that
the court will be far less brilliant than
it wee under King Edward. The latter
attached the fullest weight and dignity
.to the ceretnonial of the Kingly office,
ana all state functions under his reign
were investee with the pomp and m,ag-
nificence be considered befitting the
court of a great Empire. It is quite cer-
tain that great changes will be seen in
the -extension of the court circle as well
as among the actual officials and digni-
taries of the court. Queen Mary is cred-
ited with treat strength of character,
and is likely to exert far mare influence
on the court surroundings than did
Queen Alexandra. She is deeply tole
(does and has a love for charitable work
connected With the church; while King
George, so far as Is knowe, is more fond
of country life and. pursuits than of
courtly pomp. Hence there is a general
belief that the new court will be of a
simpler end more austere type and many
of those who heretofore exercised a par-
amount influence in the court life will
be obliged to seek comparative retire-
ment.
Saturday's court circular states that
during the last moments of the King
the Archbishop of Canterbury read site -

vice in the Ring's climber, at which the
Queen, the Prince and Princess of Wales,

The Ministers kiesed his hand on their
reappointment. The other, members of
the Council also took the allegiance and
Missed. the King's hand. This closed the
business of the Council.
The King, after taking the oath,
made his first speech as Sovereign as
given above. It was somewhat in the
nature of a declatation of the policy
which it will be his aim to pursue as oc-
cupant of the throne.
The King, while the brief ceeemonies
were proceeding in the throne room,
showed signs of deep grief. His large
eyes were red, obviously from crying.
Throughout the solemn reading of the
proclamation the new Sovereign listened
absorbedly, with his eyes downeapt and
chin upthrust. His Majesty's voiee and
bearing throughout the speech and the
subscribing of the proclamation geve evi-
dence of a keen feeling of responsibility
and of deep emotion.
The crowds outside the palace,
Temple Bar, and the Mansion Heine
waited patiently, having the Londoner's
love of a Royal spectacle for the public
proelamation by the heralds of the as -
melon of King Edward's successor. They
were disappointed, as the Privy Council
decided to postpose the prochunation un-
til Monday morning.
MEMBERS SWORN IN.
A meeting of Perliameht was held at
3 o'clock yesterday afternoon, aecord-
ing to the custom obtaining on the
‚death of a Sovereign. It was of brief
duration. Crowds gathered at the en-
trance of the House of Lords to
watch about half a hundred nobles
enter the chamber to take the oath
of allegiance to the new King, No
oaths were taken in the House of
Commons. The members of the
How of Commons wi:1 begin to
subscribe their allegiance to the now
King on and filter Monday, when it
is expected that the necessary officials
who are now hastening to London will
have arrived in town. Yesterda.y after-
noon's sudden and scanty Meeting of
both Houses of Pettier/tent during recess
showed that Parliament is no longer an
instrument of the throne.
Most of the peeds present curiously
occupied the Unieniste bench. Poli-
tical botindaries in the chamber wore
ignored. momentarily, and all sat on
the scarlet leather benehee on the
Unionist side of the chamber. The

morning was publicly proclaimed

Sharply at the stroke of nine, four
heralds arrayed in medieval uniforms
of scarlet heavily braided with gold,
mounted tlie balcony of Friaes Court
at St. jamese' Palace, where Queen
Victoria presented herself to tne
people upon the opening of her mem-
orable reigne and blew a fanfare
through their long silver trumpets.
The preeincts of the palace were
crowded -with a great mass of people,
many of whom could secure but the
briefest glimpse of the proceedings.
The balconies and rooms of the an-
cien.t palace, which had been draped
in red cloth, were reserved for not-
ables, all of whom were in the deep-
est mourning. 'Members of the Royel
household, the ministers and their
wives and high officers of state, all in
brilliant uniforms, were gathered
around the court. Gen. Sir John. D.
P. French, with the headquarters scaif
in full dress uniform, stood surronnd-
ed by a troop of Horse Guards in
their red tunics and breast plates of
polished steel.
From the windOws of Marlborough

Duke of Cornwall, the young heir te
the throne, the younger princes and
Princess Mary watched the cererrionye

The hetalds, having concluded their

ditary Earl Marshal and Chief Butler
of England, took their places on the het-
cong, forming the great heraldic cone.
pany. None wore mourning, this hav-
ing been removed for the occasion. Sir
Alfred Seett Scotetiatty, garter prin-
cipal king of arms, with the Duke of
Norfolk, and two officers bearing the
staffs of office, steppekto the front of the
balcony, aed in 'a voice which could be
heard Across the court and in the streets
adjoining, read the proclamation, while
great throngs stood uncovered in a
drizzling ram. The Duke and Sir Alfred
then called for three cheers for the Ring
and the people responded with deafening
hurrahs, which were silenced only by
the re-appeitrance of the heralds, who
sounded aeother fanfare.
The last note hardly had died away
when the Band of the Coldstream
Guards, which had taken tip a position
in the equere, struele ttp "God Savo the

ea the that gun of the battery in St.
James' Park belched forth a royal salute
and the people in the square end streete
at the same meant took up the re-
frain "God. &Are the Ring." This was
probably the most impressive part of
the ceremony, the fervent singing of the
crowds, which first melted theta in
the balcony as a hum, growing in vol-
ume 10 more and more eingers joined
in, while at minute intervals the gun
half drowned the chotes. Itifeetwhile

and unreasoneble statement of the
Pharisees shows to what an extremity

teract 'the influence and popularity of
Jesus.

Probable Queen -Mother Will Spend
Part of Each Year in Denmark.
Loudon, May 8. -It is stated that in
the inture Queen Alexandra will choose
to be known as the Queen -Mother, a
title that has not been used in England
since the days of Henrietta Maxim con-
sort of Charles L
The new Queen will be known , es
Qeeen Mary. This title is taken by the
expressed wish of Ring Edward, who
chose it some One ago. It was at first
agreea that she would. be known by her
full name of Vietoria Mary, but this
was thought to be too cumbersome and
the shorter title was chosen. The dower
house of the Queen -Mother will be Marl-
borough House. It was her first home
in London, for she was brought there as
a bride in 1803. It is suggested that
Sandringham House may be used by the
Queen -Mother, although the extensive
estate and the shooting may be devised
to the Prince of Wales. In all probabili-
ty the Queen -Mother will spend a por-
tion of each year in her native Denmark
In 1907 she built a summer residence on
KleMpenborg Bay, seven miles from Co
penhrtgen, whicle during the last two
summers, she shared with her sister
•the Dowager Empress of Russia. These
sisters have always been deeply attach
ed to each other and they will probably
spend. a great deal more time tegether
in the future.

the lover of the world, and the violent

abroad. They not only dissepate their

others against the Christian life. Those

31.t Whoever determinedly and per.
manently rejects the Holy Spirit, attri-
buting his works to Satan, shuts him-
self away from the only. home of salva-
tion. In Southey's poem, "The It:wheelie
Rock," is a striking illustration of one's
accomplishing his own destruction. A
bell bad been placed over tlds dangerous
rock in such a way that the motiou of
the waves would ring out a warning pf
tho danger. A sailor, in spert, cut the
bell loose from its fastenings and sailed
'away. Returning after lie heel been a
long time on the sea, he was wracked on
the very rock from which he had cut
tovey the warning bell. His folly is ap-
parent to all, but what of the person
who rejects the only agency of salve-
tioSnelcing a align (v. 38.) It is a com-
mon occurrence for those who have a
dimposition to reject divine truth to ask
for some sign that it is truth. lt is.not
bemuse they eo not know it as tiuth,
but because they are unwilling to live
according to the truth. One says, "If I
only knew that there is a hell, I would
repent and believe the gospel." All the
reasoning that men employ to evade the
truth is Wee. God's word, the Holy
Spirit and conscience combine to eon.
vince us of the great truths of the gos-
pel: Men who make great caellings over
non essentials are not willing to practise
the plain and essential preeeptsteof the
word. Seeking a sign does not relieve
one of responsibility; it rather increasee
the responsibility, for he who seeks to
evade responsibility is in a position
where he knows what duty.is and at-
tempts to excuse himself from its de-
mands. Instead of seeking to excuse
one's self front obeying the plain com-
mands of God, and. from doing the dut-
ies that clearly vest upon him, one
should desire to reap the benefits that
come from closely following God.

a singularly intelligent animal, and hie
conduct since the death of his master
