BISHOP OF BIRMINGHAM'S
Coronation Ceremony “Should Be Independent Of Communion"
Dr. Barnes. Bishop of Birming- ham, preaching at the Chapel Royal, St. James's, London, recent- ly suggested that the form of the Coronation service should be changed. and that the Coronation Ceremony should be made i- Communion dependent of the Ofice
Referring to changes since the ..last Coronation, be said that broadcasting had come in, women had received the franchise, and knowledge of the earth's history and place in the universe and of man's pre-history had become widesprend.
Changes of such magnitude múst be allowed to influence even · oc- casions with the most venerable history,
."That
the essentials of the Coronation rite should remain unchanged all will probably agree," he said, "but they are placed within the setting of the English Communion Office, and I submit that that setting could with advantage be reshaped. Our forefathers
the in eighteenth century thought it Datural to demand occasional formal reception of the consecrat- ed elements as a symbol or re- ligious conformity... To us such a į use of the Bacrament is not, mere- ly, undesirable; it is indefensible.
"Just as a man will go quietly to Communion at some early time of the day before taking up new re- sponsibilities, just as in Shake- speare's immortal, history Henry the Fifth prays alone early in the morning upon St. Crispin's Day zo we should like to think that the Sovereign could quietly and un- observed make such personal and religious preparation for his Coro- nation as he deemed right."

She had a double claim to fame; on her own account, as the author of a long and popular series of novels for more than 30 years, and as the mother of Meggle Albanesi, who, before hex undimely death in 1923, promised to become another Ellen Terry..
Meggle Albanesi was judged by critics to be by far
the most talented young actress seen for n great number of years.
LONELINESS
Madame Albanesi was born Effie Henderson; many of her novels she wrote hundreds-were publish, ed under the pseudonym of Effle Adelaide Rowland, She married the Chevaller.
