, It is a great thmg to give a portion
of each day to thoughts of the life to
come, and to realms which lie all about
us, near, while Invisible.
It Is fertilization
of the spiritual na
ture to think of
t those who have
passed on, and to
picture regions of
.beauty and glory
immortal. But to
do this to the neg
lect of this life,
and the living peo
ple of earth is
einful.
How can a rea
sonable human ber
ing expect to dwell
in heaven, in con
tinual felicity with
angels, who is
dwelling on earth
In constant discord with friends and rel
atives? We must practice the heavenly role
right here on earth, and we must make
our homes and our garden beautiful be
fore we can expect to be given gleaming
mansions and golden streets above.
We must be tender and tolerant and
patient toward the living, or we will not
find peace and joy with the dead. .
And we must broaden our minds on
every topic which tends toward making
the. earth raore agreeable for the living.
It is a crying sin. against the hosts of
Buffering human beings to give so much
valuable fertile soil to the use of dead
bodies. -
If all the cemeteries of New England
were ploughed up and the soil given to
the poor too cultivate, there would be
no need of almhouses. Cremation does
cleanly, quickly and kindly what burial
requires years to accomplish, in a dis
gusting, slow and dreadful manner.
Burial of bodies pollutes the earth and
monopolizes It
Fortunately the progressive and sen
sible minds of the world are all in favor
of cremation.
Recently in England the body of the
Right Reverend Charles William Stubbs
was cremated, and the urn containing
the ashes was placed in the niche of
Truve cathedral.
It was an epoch of progress of Eng
land, as it was the first time a bishop
had been cremated.
One of the promlent Tnglish dallies said
of this event:-
"The growth of public opinion, espe
cially the Intellectual side of It, In favor
of cremation as the wisest and most
sanitary means of disposing of the dead
has been most striking in recent years,
and nowhere more so than among the
clergy of the Church of England and
ministers of other denominations them
selves. Even at Westminster abbey It is
now the rule due too lack of space that
only the ashes of the distinguished dead
shall be placed there.
Since the Cremation Society of Eng
land was first formed in 1885, the remains
of many distinguished people have been
cremated. To take the names of a few
clergymen and ministers we find the
following:
"Since Venerable Archdeacon W. II.
Tribe, the Venerable Archdeacon A. S.
Aglen, D. D-: Canon Henry Shuttle
worth, Canon Robinson Duckworth, Canon
John Henry Coward, Canon W. H,
Cooper, Canon S. Pattenden. the Rev.
Brooke Lambert, M. A.; the Rev. H. R.
Haweis, M. A.; the Rev. Norman Mac
leod Ferrers, D. D.: the Rev. Brook Her
ford. D. D.: the Rev. J. P. Hopps, the
Rev. H. C. Marriott.
"The records also contain the names
of many titled persons and officers of
the army, and navy."
The ceremony of 'cremation robs the
last rites given to the dead of more than
half their horrors...
The imaginative, mind, however re
ligious, is tortured by thoughts of the
body of a dear one slowly rotting beneath
the mouBd of earth, and such thoughts
must, and do, distract the mind from
ideals of the spiritual home of the de
parted soul.
When there is nothing remaining of
the corporeal frame but a little heap of
ashes, the thoughts must soar to planes
beyond the earth to find a resting place
with the beloved one.
Cremation leaves the earth for the uses
of the living, and does away with the
expensive and useless monuments which
cumber valuable ground and do no good
to living or dead.
Those who desire to erect some monu
ment to the memory of their dear dead
can find useful aad humane and orna
mental ways of doing so.
An arch which will beautify a city
street; a drinking fountain for thirsty
and toling animals; a scholarship in some
college; a free bed in some hospital; a
playground for poor childre:!, are a few
of the many ideas which can create a
noble memorial to the dead and still
leave our mother earth clean and sweet
to nourish, ber living chiJcren.
If a little child of wealth passes on,
what better monument to her memory
could her parents make than a peinun
ent contribution to the fresh air fund,
which would send the child of some poor
mother out of sweltering cities to enjoy
country life?
We can not expect every cemetery to
be done away with in this generation
But it is to be hoped that public senti
ment will be educated after a few gener
ations so that no more cemeteries will
be needed, and that the territory, money
and time now dedicated to the decaying
bodies of the dead, will be used for
making happy the living.
Technically Accnrate.
'Tee," said the visitor from Pumpkin
ville, "you have some pretty tall struc
tures here, but our town erected a build
ing with more than a thousand stories
laet summer, and "
"A building of more than a thousand
stories!" echoed his friend. "What brand
do you smoker"
"It's a fact," rejoined the Pumpkinville
native. "I was referring to our new
library."-Tit-Blts.

The First Quakers
By REV

The first Quakers to st foot upon the
shores of this country arrived at New
port R. Li In tho ""IP Woodhouie, the
"Mayflower of the Friends," 2S6 years
ago today August 3, 1667.
The coming of the
Quakers was a
mighty good thing
for' this country; al
though, for a time
at loHst, it was a
mighty . bad . thing
for the Quakers.
They met with a
most ungracious re
ception. The orig
inal "savages" could
not possibly have
received them with
a more ferocious
front thin was presented to them by
the Massachusetts "Chrlftlsns" who had
come over to the new world to escape
religious persecution In the old world.
