ation, Mr. (Golding emphasized that
this coronation is different from any
other as -Canada, since 19311; stands as
a enation in the Commonwealth Of
Nations, the British lEmpire. The at-
tention of oar young people should be
drawn, he said, to the fact that at a
time when dictators ase taking from,
the masses of people the right to gov-
ern themselves in some countries. we
as B'ritis'h 'citizens ought to be proud
that as a result of British .freedom our
nation occupies the sane position as
the :British people.
"Since I10)1U' this nation has grown
to constitutional manhood,” Mr, ,Gold-
ing said.
This seas alt reco'gaiized• in the nor
onation ceremony today when the
standing of Canada was borne for the
first time by Canada's appointed rep-
•resentatide.
"In view of these - important
changes, as Canadians we should be
proud of the p'ositiou we now occu-
py," Mr, Golding said. "We ' shoteld
inculcate in our young people loyalty
to His 'Majesty and. the Royal Family

ing was .just as great when lie - left
home as when it started several hours
earlier, and when we return home the
radio' will stilt be. bringing the same
message ,of rejoicing. The rites of the
coronation have exceedingly ancient
beginnings, he said, tracing the an-
ointing of monarchs ,from Old Testa-
ment times. All 'of the long line of
kingswho leave ,been crowned in
Westminster Abbey, have been an-
ointed with ail, and before Westmin-
ster Abbey the kings were crowned ;it

Stone. In 'Westminster Abbey was

kings were crowned. and later it was
broeght'to Westminster. The an.oint-
ing is a symbol of the kings consecra-
tion to the service of God and the
Empire. The •crowning, Placing the`
