Those who had the privilege of seeing them can never forget the regal bearing of the King and the graciousness of Queen Elizabeth. They are still being talked about. Those of us who dM not have the great pleasure of seeing them, enjoyed' their' trip over the radio and also wereable to see them through the eyes of others. They endeared themselves to their sub- jects in Canada in a way in which they otherwise could never have done. They proved them selves to be very humble and no subject of their realm was be- neath the' recognition, in fact ,their r o ni t g on several occasions they left those who were guarding them and stepped to one side to speak to someone' who was in very humble circumstances. In Toronto their itinery called for a stop of some five minutes at one of the military hospitals but they made the veterans happy by staying a much longer period. Their Of; ject seemed to be to bring joy by their presence to as many as possible. It was with a feeling of sadness that we heard their last broadcast as they boarded their hip to go back to England. Many, many instances have been told of their kindness to people of Britain during the very trying times of the war. There were occasions when those who were saddened by their homes having been wrecked in the blitz were cheered, by the presence of the King and Queen who had come to them even in peril of their own lives. Those things can never be forgotten as noth- ing can • ever take the place of kind deeds.

OBITUARY WILLIAM SHEPHERD' William„ Shepherd died at ,his home, Huron St„ Clinton, in his 89th year, on Monday, June 7, 1948, following an illness of sev- eral months. He was a son of the late John Shepherd' and Margaret Ferguson, and wasborn at Whit- by, Ontario. Ile came with his parents when six years of age and from there moved to Cede - rich Township. . p A few in f years following his mar- riage be moved to the 13th con- cession of Hullett where he con- tinued to reside until his retire - of the children and youth of the British Isles but the King and Queen kept them with them, That was much appreciated by those who could not send their children out of the country. The major- ity of their subjects felt that it was for that reason that the two princesses were kept in Eng- land. So often we see pictures of the Royal family as they are at home. In spite of their luxurious sur-• roundines they are a typical. happy family. During the .trying years through which they have passed they have been a great help to one another, In the broad - cost of the Ring onthe occasion of the silver anniversary of the wedding of him and his Queen he spnke so feelingly of their home life and referred to them as husband and wife. Their sub- jects have always had the idea that they were a very loving couple and that their two dau- ghters meant a great deal to them. Above all our Sovereigns have always given first place in their lives to ,Tesus Christ as their Heavenl.r Father. It is seldom that either one of them ever broadcasts that they do not make some mention of the in- fluence of Jen,8 in their lives. They feelthat thei'- country must' have a Ruler higher than any earthly King. When King George VI made has visit to Canada with his Queen he came in all the grandeur• of his high office but their peoples throughout the- British' Common- wealth know that they acknow- ledge a King who is higher than he is. We always feel that God is with a country at whose head is a Christian Ruler. •There are some peonle in Can- ada who do not wish to obey the laws of the land. In past years the government has dealt with them, So it is in our Chris- tian life. If we do not wish to acknowledge Jesus Christ we do not need to do so, but the loss tvill surely be ours. Salvation is offered free to us. Why will we not accept Jesus as our Sav- iour and thus have our Eternal future secured for us. We are privileged to carry the 'Union Jade showing that we are subjects of British rule and we Han also carry the Christian flag telling to the world that we are marching side by side under the leadership of the Kine of Rings. Our prayers ascend many times on behalf of our beloved King and Queen and may our National Anthem always be sung as a prayer. "God save our gracious King, Long live our noble King, God save the King! Send him victorious, Happy and glorious, Long to reign over us: God save the King!" "PEG" DowaY/ONDAY, JULY14.
