The fact that our Royal Seal consist), of a lion, in. diverse positions, and. a unicorn, must often arouse the curiosity of Anglo-Saxons, said Mr. A. J. Ferris, in a lecture given' at the British-Israel League's room on Monday night. The unicorn was symbolic of strength, arid was used by the prophets of Israel to describe the strength and greatness .of Israel relative to the other nations of the: world in the latter days. The lion is mentioned in tlie prophecies as depicting ;the then future greatness of Israeli On the left side of the seal above, our Government Buildings can be seen the' great lion, while on the. central shield. itiS.the top right-hand corner is to be found the young lion. On the same shield "there, are six lions couching down to the great lion. "Would it be presumptuous to'suggest"that these may symbolically represent the six nations of the. Commonwealth makitig obeisance to the Motherland, especiallyl in view of the Ottawa and Imperial Conferences? If we couplel,with these-items the very definite prophecy that at this same time Israel was to be a 'nation and a company of nations'-(Gen. 35-11), then these are either, remarkable coincidences or else, facts known to the prophets 3ioo years ago."
