g St. Catharines Wine formed before the High Altar there with all the solemnity, beauty and dignity of medieval days. It may safely be said that a man who could witness an Eng- lish Coronation ceremony and remain unmoved is not an Englishmanâ€"if, inâ€" deed, he be human at all. While the Coronation service may seem bewilder- ing at first, careful attention to the proceedings will reveal a number of eats all of which have a separate and special significance.

(It is a point worthy of note here that the exact words of the Oath are nowhere set out in the original manu- script of the "Liber Regalis.") The original Coronation Book, on which English kingstrom Henry the First to Henry the Eighth took the Oath, is now one of the most closely guarded relies in the manuscript de- partment of the British Museum. Sinc~ the time of Henry the Eighth, and the fundamental changes in religion for which he was responsible in England, a new book is provided for each corona- tion. It is claimed for the original Coronation Book that it was once the property of King Athelstan the Saxon. and it must be numbered among the world‘s priceless manuscripts. The King: “I am willing.” Archbishc-p: ”Will you solemnly pro- mise and swear to govern the People of this United Kingdom of Great Briâ€" tain and Ireland. and the Dominions thereto belonging. according to the statutes in Parliament agreed on. and the respective Laws and Customs of the same?" The King: “I will." Archbishop: “Will you to your power cause Law and Justice. in Mercy. to be executed in all your Judgments?" The King: "I will." Archbishop: “Will you to the utmost of your power maintain the Laws of Cicd, the true Profession of the Gospel, and the Protestant Reformed Religion established by Law? And will you main- tain and preserve inviolably the Settle- ment of the Church of England. "the Doctrine. Worship, Discipline and Gov- ernment thereof. as .by law established in England? And will you preserve unto the Bishops and Clergy of England. and to the Churches there committed to their charge. all such Rights and Privi- leges, as by Law do cr shall appertain to them or any of them?" The King: “All this I promise to do." Tit-en the King rises from his Chairw- assisted by the Lord Great Chamber- lain, and with the Sword of State car- ried before himâ€"and approaches the Altar. Here he uncovers and makes his sciemn Oath before all the people. He lays his right hand upon the Holy Gospel in the Great Bible (presented to him by the Archbishop). and says: “The things which I have here be- lore promised. I will perform and keep. So help me God." The King then kisses the book. and signs the Oath. After the sermon the Archbishoy rises. and stands before the King ‘to administer the Coronation Oath. First the Archbishop inquires:-â€"â€" “Sir. is your Majesty willing to Lake the Oath?” The King: “I am willing.” Archbishop: ”Will you solemnly pro- When the Bishops have returned to their pieces. the Archbishop begins the Communion Service. ”0 God. who providest for Thy people by Thy power. and rulest over them in love; grant this Thy servant . . .. our King, the spirit of wisdom and govern- ment. that being devoted to Thee with all his heart. he may so wisely govern this kingdom that in his time Thy church and people may continue in safety and prosperity; and that. per- severing in good works to the end, he may through Thy mercy come to Thine everlasting kingdom; through Jesus upon the An ended two 81 ’0 God. the Father of Heaven USES 1n ho; When this ceremony is ps. vested in copw. sing 1e the Choir sing the Official Coronation Commemoration Medals THE EORCUPINE ADVANCE.

He returns to sit down in St. Edward’s Chair. The Peer who carries the sword in the Coronation 'procession now approaches the Dean of Westminster and offers his redemption money for the weaponâ€"â€" r'hich is according to ancient custom one hundred shillings. Having thus re- deemed it, he receives the sword from oft the Altar. He now draws the sword from its Scabbard, and thereafter car- ries it naked before the Sovereign dur- ing the rest of the solemnity.
