Kipling Joins His Peers

RUDYARD KIPLING today goes to join his

several oaths of allegiance, supremacy and ab- juration. The oath of abjuration introduced in the time of WILLIAM III, recognizes the king's rights, engages the juror to support liim and disclose all traitorous conspiracies against him, promises to maintain the Hanovarian Protest- ant succession, and expressly renounces any claim of the descendants of the late Pretender. ~ This oath was not only taken by personsin of- ’ fice, but might be tendered by two jlIStICOS t0 any person suspected of disaffection. In modern times a single parliamentary oath was substitut- ed for the three, and this was altered t0 enable Roman Catholics to take it, and Jews were en- abled to sit in Parliament by being allowed i0 omit the words “on the true faith of a Chris- tian." In its present form the parliamentary oath consists of an oath of allegiance and a prnnllsfi to maintain the succession to the crown as lim- .' itcd and settled in the reign of \VILLIAl\I Ill-
