"ALBERT THE BRAVE", Turning to the congregation. His Lordship sald:-Seldom if sympathy been expressed by all ever hns such

general peoples and nations alike at the demise of a Ruler. The whole world is mourning for King Albert of Belgium. Many, like our- selves, havo perhaps never met | NewsS. him, and never seen him, yet they deeply mourn his loss. The reason, I think, is not so much the tragic manner in which he met. his death nor the fact that he held such an exalted position in life, but because of the high standard of his moral qualities, his noble character, his simple goodness, because he was King Albert the Brave, King Albert the Good.

It is well to remark that fact. It shows that even the world at large still appreciates the moral values of life, it shows that the ideals of virtue and faith are not dead, are not forgotten avan in this materialistic age of ours.
