Memorial Service for our Late King ' A memorial service in honour of his late Majesty King George, was held on Tuesday morning in the -Un­ ited Church. The pastor, Rev. A. V". Robb, in sketching the life of the King, gave a most interesting ad­ dress. He showed what the throne signifies in the life of the Empire— how it is above class or party, its only bias being toward the whole people. This ideal King George had so well carried out by his active in­ terest, displayed even to his dying hours, in the welfare of all his sub­ jects. He was a most human king and endeared himself to all by his unfail­ ing kindness. His home was a happy family circle. His guide was the Book of Books. In times of change and stress, Britons everywhere have look­ ed to him for guidance and courage. In this time of mourning the ties binding the far-flung realms of the British Empire are very evident. The Queen Mother and the Royal Family have the sympathetic thoughts of many peoples. To His Majesty, King Edward, carefully prepared for the high place he now assumes, go out feelings of devotion and loyalty. Appropriate Scripture selections were read and thd King’s favorite hymns were sung. The service was brought to a close by the singing of “Abide With Me” and “God Save the King.” . Mr. and Mrs. Joseph .Breckenridge celebrated their 46th wedding anni­ versary with their daughter, Mrs. W. Nicholson, it being the 24th anniver­ sary of Mr. and Mrs. Nicholson’s Wedding on January 23rd.
