Long life be hers and happiness, and may no cares of State
E’er cast a shadow o’er her crown or love or joy abate.
Let Britons all with pride unite in welcome leal and true,
To Edward, King and Emperor, we’ll raise our shouts anew.
And may our mighty Empire still flourish and increase—
May War and Anarchy give place to Unity and Peace.

THE GRENVILLES: A RACE OF
FIGHTERS.
By the Rev. Prebendary Granville, M.A.
The family of Grenville claimed descent from Rollo the Sea-King, and they did not belie their fierce and adventurous ancestor. They were fighters to the core. Rightly they had for their bearing three horseman’s rests, in which the lance or tilting spear was fixed. Some, of course, through the long centuries, were senators, magistrates, ecclesiastics; but as a rule they were men of the sword, serving their country by land and sea.
