Our King is the chief citizen, and the fact that he is chist by heredity, and not. by election, does not qualify his views of the realitica of the position. As Mr. A. G.

In other words, he understands his place in the Constitution, and never abuses his prerogatives. The Crown has kept pace with the march of democracy, and the present wearer, of it has won the respect and affection of his subjects by. the splendid example of public service and by the ready sympathy with all classes which he has shown throughout his reign. In the words of Mr. ASQUITE, the King and his gracious Consort have always felt and shown that they were not to be ministered qute but to minis- ter." During the past four years they have devoted themselves "whole-heartedly and unselfishly" to the tremendous task
