Statesmen attired in the glittering uniform of His Ms- jesty's privy councillors, officials whose hsblliments recall “good King Cieorge's glorious days." diplomats in their gold hi-sid. soldiers in scarlet and sailors in blue,.i.he Kings just- ices in red robes and enninehoods. will surround His nccellency the Governor-General 'when he ,gets himself on the throne in the Senate Chamber to read the address ‘which will formally open the session. Seat- ed down the sides of the chamber will be foreign consuls. representa- tives of the church. and notables in all walks of Canadian life. At the bar of the chamber will stand the Speaker of the House of Commons and about him will-be grouped the members of the lower House. The dignified ceremonial loses nothing of its color in spite of this material age; on the contrary there is a disposition to preserve all of its spectactular character. and if possible to emphasise it more and more. While for the most part these polite observances have lost their meaning they have nevertheless arisen out of conditions that prevailed inthe re- mote past when' punctllious__ regard for them carried the greatest signifi- cance. There was once a meaning, for example, in the exact distance that should separate the Prime Min- ister from the leader of the Oppo- sition. It cs.n..be expressed in terms of feet and yards, but also in terms of swordlengths. Those two ami- able gentlemen must sit two sword- lengths sparc, for in the rousing days of old, Parliamentary questions were not infrequently the occasion for the drawing of rapiersl While, » of course, there is no danger whatever of either Mr. Mackenzie King or Mr. Bennett olinching any debate with a resort to lethal weapons. the two -swordlengths rule nevertheless pre- vails. ' Members of the House of Com- mons must not pass to the rear of - the Clerk of the House-between the Clerk and the Speaker's Chair. The Clerk must have uninterrupted mv cess to Mr. Speaker at all times with- out intimidation from any member. When members bow to the Speak- er on taking their seats, on crossing the floor or leaving the Chamber. they are actually carrying out a prac- tice which originally had no "associ- ation with the idea of performing an act of courtesy to Mr. Speaker. In the ancient days the Speaker of the English Parliament sat directly in front of St. Stephens Chapel, and members bowed to the Chapel-a re- ligious observance. The practice has been continued with the Speakers re- ceiving and acknowledging what at one time was awgesture of piety. Before Parliament opens, th emem- bers of the two houses are assembled in their respective chambers. When His Excellency arrives and is seated on the Throne of the Senate the Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod is despatched to the House of Com- mons with a request demanding the presence of the Commoners _in the Senate Chamber. Headed by the Sergeant-at-Arms. who, bearing the Mace. precedes the Speaker, the Commoners form up in procession and march along the hall to the Sen- ate where, after Mr. Speaker has humbly bssought His Excellency to ascribe anyfaults and failings of the Commons to him and not to the members, the Governor-General reads the Speech. Following this the members of the ‘House of Commons return to their own quarters. Before any other business is done, however. s. private bill is introduced .md given ru-it reading. Thus do the Commondrs assert their sturdy independence by ensuring that the affairs of the poo- ple receive immediate precedence over the affairs of the King. The next thing taken up as a matter of routine is the proposal to present an address to His Maissty in reply to the Speech from the Throne. The Kings message can not be subjected toanydebatmlrutsinoeitisususliy all incorporated in the reply proposed by the Commons themselves it can in that way be criticised or approved according to party complexion. ,_X_i__.__1-_-»--@--_-n on Jan.

Besides writing the Comer, I have traveled. spoken lu schools, and attended to other things. Readers who have written for leaflets. have had their letters l1!`0ml‘l1y handled by my helps; and I trust that everyone who has asked for a leaflet, has received it. ' In addition to the requests for leaf- lets. there have been hundreds of special letters. asking for answers to questions or for back numbers of the Corner. I have handled as many 01 l-5959 requests as I have been able to handle; but you ought to see the portfolio I carry~l It is simply bulging with letters which I must answer. Sooner or later. I try to take care of every request; but gg. We I find myself mr behind. _ If you ever want bank numbers of the Corner, the quickest way to obtain them is to send postage stamps to the Circulation Manager of the newspaper. telling the dates of the editions you have missed. The postage stamps should cover the selling price of the newspapers. At Chridtmhl UMC, I Wa5 made slid by cards and presents from . ' l membqs of the Corner family. One little girl. whom I have never seen, sent a silk handkerchief which she had brought back from a trill to Ger- many. A Corner reader in Georgia mailed a bag of pecans for Christ- mas. and I received mother bagfrem a resident of Alabama. I am happy that readers who know me onLv through the newspaper, should think of me as such a close friend. I want every reader to feel like a personal friend of mine. I want you to be with me while we explore the world's wonders together. " Letters are welcome,- no matter how high they may pile up. I like to know what you are thinking, and I appreciate the words you write. In regard to the answers, remember the hundreds of letters I have ahead. Maybe you will write a letter which will not need an ans `r, a_ letter which I shui enjoy ahysniu know that you will not be disappointed about not receiving a reply, Ad., dress me always in care of the news. paper.
