The King's six maxima ■ for life and conduct, which hang in his workrooms at Buckingham Palace and Sandringham, recently formed the basis of a series of sermons in a London church. The maxima are:—Teach me to be obedient .to the' rules of the game. Teach me to distinguish between (sentiment and sentimentality, ■ admiring the one and despising the,-other. Teach me neither to proffer nor to receive cheap praise. If I am called 7 /upon to suffer, let me be like a well-bred beast that goes away to suffer in’silence. Teach me to r win, if I may; if I may not, teach me- to- be a good loser. Teach me neither to cry for the moon nor to cry over spilt milk.
