WaIlaceburg. Simplicity itself is the
keynote of the compact little place
of worship, which measures only 26.
by 40 feet, with a, seating capacity of
about 120. The church, of a neat,
white -boarded ' exterior, is painted
white. Inside, the church is finished
simply: with white plaster walls and
ceiling and contains three rows of
natural grained chestnut pews. The.
low -raided pulpit platform is of the
same wood, and the church is with-
out organ, as is the custom of that
denomination. The building was 10
weeks in the course of construction
and was made possible through a

KING EDWARD'S R E -i RADIO MESSAGE TO EM-
NUNCIATION OF THE PIRE AFTER ABDI
THRONE. _ CATION
LONDON, Dec. 10.—The text of LONDON, Dec. 11 --(AP) — The
King Edward's message to Parlia-
ment renouncing the Throne is as
follows:
"After long and anxious considera-
tion I have determined to renounce
theThroeto which e hrch I succeeded on
the death of
a my father and I am now
communicating this, my final and ir-
revocable decision.
"Realizing as I do the gravity of
this step, I can only hope that_I shall
have the understanding of my peo-
ples in the decision I have taken and
the reasons which have led me e to take
it. .
"I will not enter now into my pri-
vate feeling, but I would beg that it
should be remembered that the bur-
den which constantly rests upon the
shoulders of a 'Sovereign is so heavy
that it can only be borne in circum-
stances, different from those in which
I now find myself.
"I conceive that I anti not overlook-
ing the duty that rests on me to place
in the forefront public interest when
I declare that I am conscious that I
can no longer discharge this heavy
task with efficiency or with satisfac-
tion to myself.
"I' have accordingly this morning
executed an instrument of abdication
in the terms following:..
"I, Edward.,VIII, of Great Britain,
Ireland and the British Dominions
beyond the Seas, King, and Emperor
of India, do hereby declare my irre-
vocable determination to renounce the
Throne for myself and for my des-
cendants and my desire that effect
should be given to this instrument of
abdication immediately.
"In token whereof I have hereunto
set my hand this 10th clay of Decem-
ber,' 1936, in the presence of the wit-
nesses whose signatures are subscrib-
ed.
"Signed, Edward R.I.,
"My execution of this instrument
has been witnessed by my three bro-
thers, their Royal Highnesses the Duke
of York, the Duke of Gloucester and
the Duke of Kent.
"I deeply appreciate the spirit
which has actuated the appeals which
have been made to meto take a dif- i
ferent decision and I have, before
reaching my final ' determination,
most fully pondered over them,
"But my mind is made up. More-
over, further delay cannot but .be
most injurious to the peoples whom 1
I have tried to serve as Prince of
Wales and as Ring and whose future,
happiness and prosperity are the con-
stant wish of my heart.
"I take my leave of them in the
confident hope that the course which'
I have thought it right to follow is
that which is best for the stability oil
the Throne and Empire and happi-
ness of my people,
"I am deeply sensible of the, con -1-
sideration which they have always
extended to me both before and after
niy accession to the Throne and which
I know they will extend in full mea
sure to my successor.
"I am most anxious that there
should be no delay of any kind in
giving effect to the instrument which
I have executed and that all neces-
sary steps should be taken immedia-
tely to secure that my lawful succes-
sor, 'my brother, his Royal Highness
the Duke of York, should ascend to
the Throne."
The document Was signed "Ed-
ward R.I."
text of former King Edward's broad-
cast tonight follows:
"At long last I am able to say a
few words of my own. I have never
wanted to withhold anything; but un-
til now it has not been constitutional-
ly possible
for me to speak.
Y P
"A few hours ago I discharged my
last duty as King and Emperor. And
now that I have been succeeded by
my .brother, the Duke of York, my
first words must be' to declare my al-
legiance to.him. This I do with all
my heart.
"You know the reasons which have
impelled ere torenounce the throne,
but I want you to understand that in
making up my mind, 1 did not forget
the country or the Empire which,, as
Prince of Wales 'and lately as King, I
have for 25 years tried to serve.
"But you must believe me when 2
tell you that 2 have found it.impos-!
Bible to carry on the heavy burden
of my responsibility and to discharge
my duties as Ring as I would wish
to do, without the help and support
of the woman I love.
"And I want you to Iurow that the
decision I have made has been mine
and mine alone.
"This was a thing I had to judge
entirely for myself. The other per-
son most nearly concerned has tried
up to the last to persuade me to take
a different course.
the people wherever I have lived or
journeyed throughout the Empire,
"For that I am very grateful. I
now quit, altogether public affairs
and I lay down my burden,
"It may be some bine before I re -
tram, to illy native land, but I shall
always follow the fortunes of the
British race and Empire with pro-
found interest, and if, at any time in
the future, I eau be found of service
to His Majesty in a private station, I
shall not fail,
"And now we all have a new King.
I Wish hiin and you, his people, happi-
ness and prosperity with all my heart.
"God bless you all! God save the
King!" -

there is every indication that special
trains will be required to handle the I
Christmas passengers who will tra-
vel to Western Canada and the Pa-
cific Coast. Extra equipment will be
required to move the holiday visitors
to the Maritimes. While it is yet too
early to receive reports on the
Christmas rush just before the holi-
day, experience has shown that the
advanced sales of the long-haul and
overseas traffic is an excellent bar-
ometer for the actual Christmas Day
travel itself. The fact that Christ-
mas this year falls upon a Friday
and that numerous places of business
will be closed on Saturday gives an
extra incentive for travel and should
be an important factor in stimulating
heavy traffic.
