psalms appointed for the burial
service, the anthem, "Christ our Pass
over is sacrificed for u.s." was sung, and
canon Conway read the lesson from /
Thess. iv: Is, II. The choir then sang
II heard voice from Heaven" and the
dean read the concluding parts of the
service commencing "Lord have mercy
upon us.n Service was concluded, after
the hymn '"rhe saints on earth and those
above" had been sung, by the benedic-
ton, Many of those present fingered to
