Almighty God, Who rulest over all the kingdoms of the world, and doet order them according to Thy good pleasure: We ylald Thee unfeigned thanks, for that Thou wast pleased to set Thy Servant, our -Iste--Sovereign Lord, King Edward, spon the Throne of this Empire. We thank Thee that Thou didst let Thy wisdom be his guide, and Thine arm strengthen him. We thank Thee that Thou didst let trath and justice, holiness and righteousness, peace and charity, abound in his days; that Thou didst direct all his counsels and endeavours to Thy glory, and the welfare of his subject, and that Thou didat let him always possess the hearts of his people, so that they were never wanting in. honour to his Parson, and in dutiful submit sion to his Authority. We praise The that Thou didst give to him a prosperous Reign, with the promise of the crown of im. mortality in the life to come; through Jesus Christ our Lord-Amen...

Seldom has St. John's Cathedral accom- modated a larger, a more repremutative, or a more mournful congregation than that which assembled at the memorial service held yester- day in commemoration of our late-bolovod Sovereign, King Edward VII. Residente of the Colony attended en masse, people of divers fraces and creeds uniting in the sorrowful daty of paying a last public tribute to the memory of a grest and good King-Emperor. The con gregation was one of many religions, Christian, Jem, Zoroastrian, Mahommedan and Buddhiş t being present at the solemn service which was held to mourn the loss of the world's peacemaker.
