THE KING'S BROADCAST MYSTERY

LONDON, Dec. 26 (Reu- ter).-Much Interest and curiosity has been aroused regarding the origin of the authorship of the quotation with which the King con- cluded his Christmas broud- cast.

A number of literary authorities, including the Poet Laureate, Mr. John Masefield, were approached and declared that they had no knowledge of the author.

The mystery is partly solved by Mrs. J. C. M. Allen, of Bristol, who states: "The quotation was found on a post-card among a dead man's effects. I don't know who wrote the original. I sent the quotation in a letter to the "Times' in the dark days of September as a message of encouragement, and I presume the King must have seen it."

The quotation follows:

wns 19

" and to the man who stood at the gate of the year:-Give me light so that I may 'tread safely into the unknown, And br replied:-Go out into the darkness and put your hand into the hand of God. That shall be to you better than light."

FESTIVITIES
