recently at his home aged 80 years.
Mr. Hall has a number of relatives

years. ....

With glad hearts we greet King Edward the Eighth. What
problems await him and the Empire over whose destinies he has
been called to preside! With wliat breath talking interest we ask,
“What next?” Yet with confidence we pray that in his high place
he may be endowed with the best qualities of his grandfather,
Edward the Peacemaker, and of his father, George the Good and
Gracious! That he has the spirit in him that will justify our high
est expectations those who know him best assure that theye is
every reason to hope. For years he has been the Empire’s best
ambassador. For years he has shown a first hand interest in the
affairs of church and state and of every citizen who was progres
sive, enterprising and constructive. Rich and poor alike, well and
strong as well as the weak and broken in their country’s service
have found in him a friend and helper. For these and scores of
other reasons Edward the Eighth comes to his throne amid not
only the acclaims of his subjects but amid the" unbounded good
will of his. people.
“May he defend our laws
And ever give us cause
To sing with heart and voice
God save the King.”
Mr. John Morley and son, J. w.

King George the Fifth has passed from us, most sincerely
mourned by everyone who owned him sovereign lord. Noble
and prelate alike owned his fineness of spirit, his sane statesman
ship and his devotion to duty as he knew it. Prince and peasant
alike acknowledged his interest in everything that became a man.
Wisdom was his to deal justly, to love mercy and to walk humbly
with his God. The thoughts of home, of duty to one’s neighbor and .
of one’s relation to the Dread Supreme without Whose guidance
the utmost human wisdom is but folly, filled his mind every day in
which he ruled over one-quarter of the world’s'territory and one
quarter of its population. With full hearts we say as his body is
laid away for the resurrection, “Well done good and faithful
servant.”
