THE second day of June, 1953, a Queen is to be crowned. Elizabeth II ascends the throne of the far-flung British Common- weahh. Already she has taken her place as one of the most beloved sovereigns England has ever known. She holds a special place in our hearts also, for it was just over a year ago that she and the Duke of Edinburgh made their historic visit to Canada. In 1926, Elizabeth Alexandra Mary was born to Elizabeth, wife of the Duke of York, second son of George V. Little thought was given to the fact that this child might one day be England ' s Queen. Not until 1937, on the dramatic abdication of her uncle, was this possibility realized. Her training and education have been such as to befit her for the endless duties of a sovereign. She and her father, our beloved late King George, shared a deep and affectionate understanding. From her mother, Elizabeth has inherited a gracious and sympathetic nature, endearing her to people within and without the Commonwealth. In November 1947, Elizabeth married Philip Mountbatten, and the glorious Royal Wedding took place in Westminster Abbey. The following year, she gave birth to a son, Charles, and two years later, Anne was born. Famous have been the reigns of our Queens were the words of Prime Minister Churchill — and with Elizabeth II ' s accession to the throne there is a feeling of hope for an era of prosperity such as was known in the First Elizabethan Era. In her Christmas message, the Queen asked for the support of our prayers on the momentous occasion of her coronation. We unite to pjay, God save our Queen . [13]
