8 SAMARA THEIR MAJESTIES KING GEORGE VI AND QUEEN ELIZABETH CORONATION The glorious crown, all flaming With myriad darts of light; The trumpets loudly shrilling; Great crowds to left and right Acclaim him joyously ; ' ' God save the King. ' ' Thus through all the centuries Of England ' s ancient pride, Where the realm o ' er foreign seas Extended far and wide, These words in triumph rang — ' ' God save the King. The Flag in all its glory. Raised on a distant shore, Now tells the same great story As it told an age before. The splendid tale of heroes. Who lived and fought and died, — So gallant, for their country ' s sake. Their graves her pride. — Fought for British liberty, Died to give the world Mercy, peace, and equity Where ' ere her flag is furled. So, mindful of a noble past. Whose glory cannot die. We answer to the trumpet blast Words echoing to the sky: God save the King. — A. Bethune.

SAMARA 9 THE KING ' ' To the ministry of Kingship, I have, with your sharing, de- dicated myself. ' ' In these words Ki g George VI expressed his conception of the charge laid upon him at his coronation. HEN Edward VIII abdicated, his brother, now the King, accepted the throne and all the responsibilities that lie behind it. With quiet courage he became King, knowing that the whole Empire was mourning the loss of a favorite monarch. He was ready to give his life to his country, for he will never again have a moment which he can call his own. The happiest time of day was always that spent with his wife and children, but he has forfeited this quiet and comfortable life for one which entails endless service to his people, which will just be a continuation of the wonderful public work he has been doing for years. As Duke of York, he became acquainted with all types of men, and he established boys ' camps in an effort to teach boys from all classes to live together as good comrades. He has travelled around the world and is familiar with all parts of the Empire. His charac- teristics are very similar to those of his father, and he has Queen Mary ' s ability to remember facts and names. So, although he has not had the customary intensive training of an heir-apparent, we are confident that he will perform his duties in true knightly manner — sans peur et sans reproche. P. Spendlove.
