The Crown Prince’s Welcome in Australia

It was no mean, parsimonious, or cold-hearted welcome that the Australian Empire gave the crown prince, who was sent thither by the late Queen Victoria and King Edward VII. to congratulate the Australian people on their federal union. The illustrations in the Melbourne Argus of May 7 clearly show that the welcome, the display, the gorgeous magnificence of all was truly and grandly royal. The occasion emphasized the unity of the great British Empire, which has done so much for religious freedom in the world. May that nation still stand for freedom till the Lord’s work is accomplished in the earth.
