“On one occasion he said to his ﬂﬂretafyi ‘How is the Empire?’

"The Secretary replied: ‘All is well. sir. with the Empire.‘

"The King gave him a smile and Filled again into unconscious- ness.”

Mr. Baldwin added: “King George, it is true, inherited his position on the Throne, but he won his own way to the hearts of his people. . . . Not only in vir- tue of his office but in virtue of his person was he the first gentle- man in the iandff

Of King George, the ruler, Mr. Bydivin declared:

"There was no respite for him during those 25 years. The whole world has been in a state of com- motion, and there never seemed to come to him any period when he could look ahead for two or three years and feel that all would be peace and quiet and nothing in the world to cause him or his people trouble.

“The world has been what a great many of the 16th century called "a raving world," and he played his part in it gaiiaritiy to the end." .
