rence preached a sermon m winch he strongly urged the need for reform of the cxisimg funeral customs.


He pointed out the evil, especially m the case of poor persons who, perhaps, had but one room, of keeping a dead body too long, and of going to an e.xpenditure a t tho funeral which was often■^out of all proportion to their means. There was a good deal of unneces­ sary show, and often in the worst taste, a t funerals. The coffin should be provided, not with a view to its endurance, but its perishability, so te a t the body might be soon resolved into its'original elements, and i t should bo deposited in earth suitable for its recep­ tion. and not, as now, in comraon graves, with which cemeteries in London and oJier great cities were becoming overcrowded. A gicat saniteriau has said th a t if this custom was contimod there would bo an outbreak of disease such as had Jevastated this country in past centuries. The rev. g|nclomau commended, tiio work of tho Church of England Burial, Funeral, and Mourning Reform Assocmtion,- in whoso behalf ^^ho offertory was taken.
