ONE of the chaplains of her late Majesty, Queen Victoria, had been preaching on the Second Coming of the Lord, and afterward, in conversation with the preacher, the Queen exclaimed: " Oh! how I wish that the Lord would come in my lifetime! "
" Why," asked the chaplain, " does your Majesty feel this very earnest desire?
The Queen replied with quivering lips, and her whole countenance lighted up by deep emotion-
" I should so love to lay my crown at His feet."
