On Monday at twelve o'clock Mr. Bonar Law was buried

in Westminster Abbey. The ceremony was simple and impressive. The mourners were representa- tive of the distinguished men and women of the world, and the presence of the Dominion Prime Ministers was particularly welcome and appropriate. Mr. Bonar Law's death has shown, what his life showed, that in an age when unassuming modesty is not perhaps the commonest of virtues among rulers, it is precisely that quality which most commands affection and respect.
