On his right hand, stands the -Bishop \u25a0: of; Durham, and beyond him, on t% same side, the lords that carry the", swordn; on his left hand . the Bishop "of Bath and Wel/s andthe Lord Great Chamberlain. The two bishops that support tho Queen stand on either side of her. And the lady that bears up the train and her assist- ants constantly attend her Majesty, during the whole solemnity.

Then -the King kisseth the Book and signeth the oath. ... The King having thus taken his oath, returns again to his chair, and both he and the Queen kneeling at- their fald- stools, the Archbishop beginneth -the hymn, Veni Creator Splritus,- and the choir singeth it. This being ended, tho Archbishop saith a prayer. . . This prayer being ended, the choir singeth an anthem. \u25a0 :_•' .

The coronation.: That is th© thing being talked In London to-day to the practi- cal exclusion of everything else. A-Uax budget has been pending in Parliament for some ..weeks, under the provisions: of which it is proposed to Increase the taxes on nearly every th.ng lhat enters into dally, life, including "even theilour that goes Into the poor man's broad. For a time. the. taxes and Sir Michael HicJts- Ueach, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, were talked more than the budget; but it Is not so to-day and the coronation now has full swing—the centre of the stage. The crowning of Edward the Seventh is to be ihs most gorgeous spectacle of the kind Europe, much less ISngland, which is not noted for the spectacular, has ever eoen. Tho .Victorian Jubilee afforded op- portunity for more display than London had seen Inmany a year, but its magnifi- cence in some respects will: be far. sur-, passed by the ceremonies attending the formal accession of Edward. It must be remembered that the coro- nation Is to possess the charm of novelty to everj'body'-of the present generation. There are, few. persons living who saw. Victoria assume nic crown, she having lived considerably over a half-century afterwards. lvis exceedingly doubtful if tfeero bo at the J coronation .of -.Edward a single man or woman who saw hit' mother, assume tho emblems of sovereignty. 1 : .. Edward is not generally regarded- ns a man to whom a show is- the. greatest- thing to be desired, but he is understood to wish that the most he made of the opportunity which the coronation will offer. He has for months been studying tho part he is to play in the great cere- monial, and it is said that he found upon careful study that the rites and forms provided wore of such number that they were likely to prove- too great a task upon his strength and patience, so. by his order, the ceremony has been much con- cien.sed. But jiotwitiislandina: the revision \u25a0which has been made by the King's direc- tion, the coronation will undoubtedly be the most tilaborate ceremonial which has taken place anywhere in the world with- in tho meaiorj' of the present generation and grlorify :your Father which 'Is in Heaven."

which is to bo short and suitable to; the:great occasion, which the Kingarid Queenhear sitting in their, respective chairs onthe south side of the altar over against

THE OATH.

The sermon being ended, and his Maj-

esty having on Thursday, the 14th day of

February, 1901, in tho presence of tho two

houses of Parliament made and signed

the declaration, ,the archbishop \u25a0 goeth to

ministers the coronation bath, .first asking

tho'King: /. . ''.. ':.'..•.'/.'

and tendered to him as ho kneels upon thesteps, saying ;these words: .

The things which I-have' herebef orepromised Iwill perform and keep. : Sohelp-me God.

Then -the King kisseth the Book andsigneth the oath. ...

The King having thus taken his oath,returns again to his chair, and both heand the Queen kneeling at- their fald-stools, the Archbishop beginneth -thehymn, Veni Creator Splritus,- and thechoir singeth it.

This being ended, tho Archbishop saitha prayer. . .

This prayer being ended, the choirsingeth an anthem. \u25a0 :_•'. Zadok, ths priest, and .Nathan, theprophet,: anointed' Solomon ..King; and alltho people rejoiced: and said: God savethe King.' Long live tho King. May theKing,live forever. Amen. Plallelujah.:_

In tho meantime, the King rising fromhis devotions, having;been disrobed of

his crimson robes by: tho Lord LGreatChamberlain, and: having -taken off hisCap of State, goes before: the altar, sup-ported and' attended asbefore. . -

The coronation.: That is th© thing being

talked In London to-day to the practi-

cal exclusion of everything else. A-Uaxbudget has been pending in Parliamentfor some ..weeks, under the provisions: of

which it is proposed to Increase the taxeson nearly every th.ng lhat enters intodally, life, including"even theilour thatgoes Into the poor man's broad. For atime. the. taxes and Sir Michael HicJts-Ueach, the Chancellor of the Exchequer,

were talked more than the budget; but itIs not so to-day and the coronation nowhas full swing—the centre of the stage.

The crowning of Edward the Seventh isto be ihs most gorgeous spectacle of thekind Europe, much less ISngland, whichis not noted for the spectacular, has evereoen. Tho .Victorian Jubilee afforded op-portunity for more display than Londonhad seen Inmany a year, but its magnifi-

cence in some respects will:be far. sur-,

passed by the ceremonies attending theformal accession of Edward.Itmust be remembered that the coro-

nation Is to possess the charm of novelty

to everj'body'-of the present generation.There are, few. persons living who saw.Victoria assume nic crown, she having

lived considerably over a half-century

afterwards. lvis exceedingly doubtful if

tfeero bo at the J coronation .of -.Edwarda single man or woman who saw hit'mother, assume tho emblems ofsovereignty. 1:..

Edward is not generally regarded- ns aman to whom a show is- the. greatest-thing to be desired, but he is understoodto wish that the most he made of theopportunity which the coronation willoffer. He has for months been studying

tho part he is to play in the great cere-monial, and it is said that he found uponcareful study that the rites and formsprovided wore of such number that they

were likely to prove- too great a taskupon his strength and patience, so. by hisorder, the ceremony has been much con-cien.sed. But jiotwitiislandina: the revision\u25a0which has been made by the King's direc-tion, the coronation will undoubtedly bethe most tilaborate ceremonial which hastaken place anywhere in the world with-in tho meaiorj' of the present generation

and grlorify :your Father which 'Is inHeaven."
