The King, in a letter "to my. pt'opli'." say.*: — "Now the Coronation and its attendant ceremonies are over, I desire to assure the people of the British Empire of my grateful sense that their hearts have been with me through it all. I felt this in the beautiful and impressive service in Westminster Abbey, the most solemn experience of my life, and scarcely less in the stirring scenes of the succeeding days when my people signified their recognition and heartfelt welcome of me as their sovereign. "This was apparent not only in the loyal enthusiasm on Coronation Day, aaid in the progress through the different districts of London; but also in the thousands of messages of goodwill which have come across the soa.s from every part of the Empire. "Such affectionate demonstrations have profoundly touched and tilled me afresh with faith and confidence." His Majesty adds: — "I believe this generous and outspoken sympathy with the Queen and myself is under God our surest, source of strength. I am encouraged to go forward with renewed hope. Whatever perplexities or difficulties may be before me and my people we shall all unite in facing them resolutely and calmly, with a public spirit, confident that under Divine guidance the ultimate outcome will be the common good."
