BIBLE THOUGHT
My heart trusted in Him, and I am helped.—Psa. 28, 7.
Long Live the Queen!
As these lines appear, millions of people in many parts of the
'■arth have just heard a charming and serious young woman in
■Westminster Abbey give her solemn promise to govern the peo-
ples of the United Kingdom and the nations and territories of the
Sritish Commonwealth with justice and mercy according to their
respective laws and customs.
Many perhaps had not realized until they heard the ceremonies
•ver the radio that the “Coronation” is essentially a religious serv-
ice. It is a ritual of dedication of the new ruler to the task of
jpinbolizing righteous government to more than 600 million per-
sons of many races, creeds, and languages—from London to South
Africa, to Malaya, New Zealand, the Bahamas, and back to the
British Isles.
While conducted in the framework of a communion service of
the Church of England—whose Protestant faith the monarch swears
to defend—the ceremony exalts qualities which speak a common
language not only to other Christian denominations but also to the
Mohammedan in Pakistan, the Hindu in India, and the pagan in
central Africa ftr the Pacific islands. These are such qualities as
devotion, faithfulness, wisdom, honor, equity, and discernment be-
tween good and evil..
___The fact that so great and diverse a onetime empire can effect-
ively be held together under The Statute-of Westminster "by a
common allegiance to the crown” is an expression of a common
allegiance to ideals in government which, though intangible, are as
pervasive as the ether which carried the radio w'aves around the
world. They exert an influence all to often underestimated.
As guest at a luncheon of members of more than 50 Common-
wealth parliaments before the Coronation Queen Elizabeth said,
“It is a stirring thought that all these legislatures are descended
from the assembly which first met under this roof (Westminster
Mall) nearly seven centuries ago.” It would have been accurate
to add that the Congress and the more than 50 state and territorial
legislatures of the United States arc also descendants of that parlia-
mentary tradition.v-
Those who today, have wished the young Queen a long and
happy reign have held a private coronation in their hearts. For
what they have been saying is that they wish nations to practice
the graeiousness and responsibility which she and her office exem-
plify. —Christian Science Monitor

Hes Done' Something for Himself!
Only a few short minutes ago, the man you see in
the picture above was handed the golden keys to his
1953 Cadillac—and now he’s off on that first delight-
ful journey behind the wheel.
And as he leans back against the deep, soft cushion,
and looks out over that proud hood into the roadway
beyond . . . well, he knows that he’s done something
for himself!
He knows it just from the way he feels there in the
driver’s seat—rested, relaxed, and at peace with the
world . . . completely contfdent that he has made the
wisest possible choice of a motor car.
He senses it in the marvelous way the car handles .
and drives and rides ... so effortless and smooth and
quiet that it’s a joy and an inspiration just to hold
the wheel in his hands.
And he knows it, too, from the feeling of pride and
satisfaction he enjoys as he looks forward to the
delight of his family and the approval of his acquain-
tances and friends.
And how the miles and the years will bear him out
in his conviction!
Let him arrive at a distinguished hotel ... or an
exclusive club . -. . and he will find (hat his Cadillac
constitutes the perfect “letter of introduction.”
In fact, let him travel wherever he will in this
broad .land of ours . . . and he will find his Cadillac a
trustworthy and. unfailing companion, an inspiration
to own and drive, a valued contributor to a mag-
nificent way of life.
Yes, you’re looking at a man who’s done something
wonderful for himself—wonderful beyond' even his
fondest dreams. »
And if vou think it’s time you did something for
yourself, then we suggest you come in and see us.
Let’s make it “Caclillac time” for you!
