Itcoversafifthofthehabitable globe.Apartfromtheempireof theCatholicChurch,noempire in ancientormoderntimescanbetomDaredwithit.TheRomanEmpire comesnext,buttheRomanEmpire wassmellinterritoryandsubjects, andmeanincivilisation,compared withtheBritish.

ANEVENTOFSUPREMEIMPORANCE.

Whether,then,weconsidertheextentoftheEmpire,theperfectionof theConstitution,orthePersonalinfluenceoftheKing,theCoronation isaneventofsuPremeimportance. Buttherearehigherconsiderations thananyofthese,,vhichwemust notoverlook.God'sinterestsare veryintimatelyconcernedinthe reign,andthereforeinthecoronation,ofaKing.Nomatterwhat theformofgovernment,nomatter whatthepersonalcharacterofthe ruler,thepowerwhichheexercises comestohimfromabove."ByMe," Hesaidofold,"Kingsreign,'end thelaw-giversdecreejustthings." Andagain,"Giveear,yethatrule thePeople forpowerisgiven youbytheLord,andstrengthfrom theMostHigh."(Prow.viii.,1;. Wisdomri.,3-4)

DuringHisPassiontherewasone whosaidtotheSaviour"Knowest thounotthatIhavepowerto crucifythee,andIhavepowertoreleasethee?"ThePowerwasnot denied,hutthesourceofitwas pointedouttoPilate: "Thou shouldstnothaveanypoweragainst meunlessitweregiventotheefrom above."(Johnxis.,IT.) Hence St.PeterandSt.Paulinsistso stronglyontheobligationofobediencetocivilrulers."Letevery soul,"saidSt.Paul,writingtothe Romans,duringthereignoftheEmperorNero-"leteverysoulhesubjecttothehigherPowers,forthere isnoPowerbutfromGod,and thosethatare,areordainedof God."(Rom.xiii.,1.).GodusuallyleavestothePeoplethechoice oftheformofgovernmentandthe methodofselectingthechiefruler, hutundereveryformofgovernment thepoweroftherulercomesfrom theMostHigh.Itmatterslittle whetheritcomesdirectly-.tothePeopleandisbythemgiventotheruler,or,aswebelieve,comesdirectly fromGodtotherulerwhenbeis electedbythePeople. Thelightthusshedonthesource ofcivilauthorityexplainstheaction oftheAlmightyevenaftertheJews hadrejectedHisruleandclamoured foranearthly'King.Hewould stillmakethemsensibleofHisinalienableauthorityincivilsociety. Accordingly,HeHimselfselectedthe erstKings,Saul,David,andSolomon,andHecommissionedHisPro- phetstoanointtheminHisname, andtoinvestthemwithHisauthor-ity.OfSaulitiswritten"And Samueltookalittlevialofniland Poureditonhishead,andkissed himandsaidBehold,theLordbath anointedtheetobeaPrinceover Hisinheritance."(I.Kingsx., OfDavid,thesecondKing,itis written "AndtheLordsaidto

Then Samueltookthekornofoiland anointedhiminthemidstofhis brethren."AndofSolomon,the thirdKing,itiswritten,asinmy text"AndSadocthePriesttooka hornofoiloutofthetabernacleand anointedSolomon;andtheysounded thetrumpet,andallthePeoplesaid: GodsaveKingSolomon."(III. Kingsi.,39.)

Thisdivineordinanceofanointing theelectedKingis,withoutdoubt, theoriginoftheuseofoilinthe ceremonyofcoronationinChristian times.Itwas,probably,useday St.ColumbaintheCoronationof Aidan,KingofDalriada,in574. GREATESTOFIRISHMISSIONARYSAINTS.

TherearemanyotherhistoricassociationsconnectedwiththeCoron- ationofKingGeorge,suchasWestminsterAbbeyandSt.Edward's

inwhichittookplace,thecorona- tionchair,andthe"stoneofDestiny,"preservedunderthechair, whichareallmostinteresting,butonwhichwemaynotdwellto-night. ForCatholicswhowerePresentat thesolemnceremonythereweremany thingstheywitnessedwhichmust havebroughtbacktheirmindstothe religiouslifeofCatholicEngland.

Inrenderingtohimcivilobedience, weareobeyingGod,"bywhom kingsreignandlaw-giversdecreejust things."

FURTHERREASONFORCATHOLICLOYALTY.

ButbesidesthisParamountreligiousmotivethereareextrinsicreasonswhyweasCatholics,andchieflyIrishbybirthordescent,should evensurpassourfellow-citizens.n manifestingourloyaltytothepersonandthroneoftheKing.Ifin theoldland,andinpasttimesIrishmenbarelysatisfiedtheirreligious dutyofobedience,thereweregraveandlong-continuedreasonsforthis reserve.Forcenturiestheircreed, theirpoliticalrights,andtheirnationalaspirationswereheldinsubjection.Buthereinthisfreeland, theCatholicortheIrishmanhasno reasonablecauseofcomplaint.Apart fromtheSchoolquestion,weenjoy allthereligious,political,andcivil libertywecouldreasonablydesire. Ourmanifestationsofloyaltyshould thereforebemoremarkedinpropor- tiontothelargerfreedomwe enjoy.

Gratitude,too,suppliesuswitha strongpersonalmotivetodohonour toourpresentKing. Webelieve thatwearelargelyindebtedtohim fortheremovalfromtheStatute Bookofthatbrutalandblasphemous formofoathwhichtheKingsand QueensofEnglandwereforcedto takeontheiraccessionsincethecleat; ofQueenAnne.

Thereremainsanotherconsidera- tion,whichregardsthefuture.It mayheillustratedfromthehistory oftheJews.WhentheProphet.Teremiassawthatthelibertiesofhis countrywereabouttobeassailed, andthetempletobedespoiled,we aretoldthatheremovedtheArk andtheTabernacleandhidthemin amountaincave,andhetookthesa- credfirefromthealtarandhiditin adeepwell,sothatinaftertimes, whenthefortunesofhisconn`r, shouldberepaired,andthetemple reconsecrated,somefuturepriest mightbecommissionedtorestorethe
