PATRIOT AND PEACEMAKER.

INCIDENTS IN LIFE OF EDWARD VI

During his address at the Manaia combined jubilee thanksgiving service in the Town Hall on Sunday afternoon, the Rev. B. Dudley, F.R.A.S., related the following incidents in the life of King. Edward VIL, as illustrative of the fact that patriotism does not imply “jingoism.” During his reign, the speaker said, the King invited the French President to visit England.' In the course of his sight-seeing the President of the Republic was escorted to Windsor Castle, where usually there hung many tattered and smoke-begrimed flags that had been siezed by the British on the battlefields of France. They were always pointed to as trophies of British victories. But prior to the visit of the head of the French nation King Edward ordered the removal of these flags, explaining that it was not his wish that the triumphs of the British armies over those of France should be flaunted before his distinguished visitor. On another occasion when himself visiting the Continent King Edward landed ir due course at Lisbon and was conducted from the boat to the carriage in which he was to be conveyed info the city. At the end of the wharf he noticed that a flag bearing, the national emblems of the Portuguese had been placed on the ground for him and his retinue to walk on before entering the conveyance, the reason for this being that the cocoanut matting which had been stretched along the wharf was not quite long enough. Seeing this flag, the King deliberately turned aside and walked round it, deeming it an act of discourtesy to put bis foot on the flag of another nation. The Patriot was also the Peacemaker.
