ward VII and grandson of Queen Vic
toria He is forty six years eld thi
month
London On Thursday the day of
the crowning of George V Kins of the
united kingdom of Great Britain and
Ireland and of the British dominions
beyond the seas nothing had been
wanting to make the solemn and im
pressive ceremony one long to be re
membered not only throughout the
country but in eery corner of the
great empire Xeer before in history
has the imperial note been struck in
such inagnilSent manner Its im
partial aspect undoubtedly has been
the mest lemakable feature of the
coronation
George V more than any sovereign
in the past represents the embodi
ment of the imperial idea He only of
all his predecessors on the throne
traeled through his vast domains and
thus acquainted himself at first hand
with the needs and aspirations of all
the various peoples of his empire
Then by happy coincident the im
perial conference sitting at the time
of the coronation enabled all the rep
resentatives of the kings over sea do
minions to participate in the sig
nificant ceremonv at the opening of
the new reign which if hopes of those
attending the conference bear fruit
will bring all parts of the empire into
closer and more intimate relations
The great state pageant was carried
through with dignity and impressive
ness and made a deep impression upon
all those privileged to witness it and
it was accompanied by an outburst of
loyalty throughout the kingdom that
might appear surprising at a period
in the worlds history when thiones
no longer appear to be established on
the surest foundations
The remotest suburbs of the great
cuy and every village in the land
gae eidence of devotion and loyalty
to the throne Not the humblest home

device portraits of the king and queen

The Worth of the Voice
How wonderful is the human voice T
It is indeed the organ of the soul
The intellect of man sits enthroned
visibly upon his forehead and in hia
eye and the heart of man is written
upon his countenance But the soul
reveals itself in the voice only as
God revealed himself to the prophet of
old In the still small voice and in
the voice from the burning bush Tho
soul of man is audible not visible A
sound alone betrays the flowing of tho
eternal fountain invisible to man

WANTED TO SLEEP
Curious That a Tired Preacher Should
Have Such Desire
A minister speaks of the curious ef
fect of Grape Nuts food on him and
how It has relieved him
You will doubtless understand how
the suffering from indigestion with
which I used to be troubled made my
work an almost unendurable burden
and why it was that after my Sabbath
duties had been performed sleep was
a stranger to my pillow till nearly
daylight
I had to be very careful as to what
I ate and even with all my care I ex
perienced poignant physical distress
after meals and my food never satis
fied me
Since I began the use of Grape
Nuts the benefits I have derived from
it are very definite I no longer suffer
from indigestion and I began to im
prove from the time Grape Nuts ap
peared on our table
I find that by eating a dish of this
food after my Sabbath work Is done
and I always do so now my nerves
are quieted and rest and refreshins
sleep are ensured me
I feel that I could not possibly do
without Grape Nuts food now that I
know Its value It is invariably on our
table we feel that we need It to make
the meal complete and our children
will eat Grape Nuts when they cannot
be persuaded to touch anything else
