VIII Cremation Become Popular

Will Cremation Become Popular
In other words, is it likely that the
Christian world will adopt the old orien.
tai and pagan practice OF burning instead
81 burYipg dead bodies? We have not
thought 80 up 10 this time, but the sub.
lect seems to be gaining on the general
attention and the idea 10 be growing in
favor with men of science both in this
country and in Europe. The argument
in advocacy OF 1t Is the great argument Of
necessity. As one Of our exchanges re.
marks, the question Of disposing "of the
growing army Of corpses will constitute
one Of the great problems OF civilization"
1.-THE number Of the dead" says the
quaint Sir Thomas Browne, "iar exceed.
eth all that shall live" Obviously there
must DO q limit somewhere to the modern
practice oi burYing the dead beneath the
sol, and II Is not strange TO find scientific
and practical attention devoted especial.
ly In the populous island oil Great Brit.
ain) TO other means Of disposing Of the
bodies of the deceased. Sir Henry
Thompson, one OF the first scientific men
OF England, contributed TO q late mum.
Der Of the Contemporary RerietO a sug-
gesttve article on the Treatment OF the
Body after Death" In this article Sir
Henry declares that burial In the soil Is
certainly injurious, either now or in the
future. Il is social sin Of no small
magnitude to SOW the seeds Of disease
and death broadcast, caring only to be
certain that they cannot do much harm TO
our own generation. "Since every dead
body enters sooner or later into the veg.
etable kingdom, why should we permit
1t 10 cause an in6nity Of mischief during
the long process|
The Cincinnati Commercial suggests an
argument against cremation becoming
popular that will strike many persons as
somewhat novel in It's character, and yet
no doubt 1t is an argument founded on a
well understood and wide spread feeling.
1t is in regard to the resurrection OF the
body. Upon this point 1t says:
ut Is an undeniable fact that the main
objection against burning the remains OF
the dead which lies In the popular mind
aside from sentimenO springs from the
generally diffuSed notion Of the literal
resurrection Of the body. However for
eisu TO scientific principles the doctrine
may be, It has in all Christian countries
deep and almost ineradicable lodg.
ment IN the popular mind. Few persons
are able TO think oil the body after death
as destined to be scattered to the four
winds as 9 part Of the dust OF the earth,
or mingled In the sap OF trees, the blades
OF grass, tho structure Of leaves and flow
ers, and the bodies Of other men or ami
mails. What may DO deuominated the
economy oi miracle enters not into The
implicit belief which clings TO the dogma
Of the resurrection Of the body. The
greater the miracle, the greater the merit
Of the faith which unhesitatingly accepts
II; and It will be long we apprehend, be-
lore the domain oil science will have be
come 80 widely extended as to give TO thC
views Of such writers as Sir Henry Thomp
son general acceptance among the people
