burning or burial.

The burning of Baron de Palms BODY
is the last Of the three heather services
held over his corpse. First there was,
last summer n "theosco ic" service in
Masonic Hall. which wns so unmeaning
that one wondered why any service was
held at all. Then the body was emhalm-
ed, in imitation of the Egyptian method
OF preparing for immortality. Finally,
as it the baron and his friends had chang.
ed their minds, the corpse was carried
one or two hundred miles TO DR.. lie
MOynes cremation furnace in Pennsvlya-
MIA, and there, in the presence of a group
OF curious guests, without prayer, \
hymn, ora brnedictiCn, it WAS slid into
fiery furnace and consumed. The re.
mains are now probably reposing in
literal urn at Washington, Pennsylvania.
The ancient Egyptians emhalmpd the
corpse not merely because they desired
afecIionately to treasure the remains
of the deceased. They could not con.
ceive OF Immortality without the BODY.
and they did the hest they could to pre-
serve ehe body for the fugitive soul. On
the other hand. rhe essential principle of
the X doo religion is that evil resides
in the body and good in the soul. The
quicker the soul can get rid of the body
the better, and the more complete the
rlddance the more perfect the emancipa-
ton. So while the Egyptians prepared
tor immortality by embalming, the Hin
docs prepared for it by burning. The
Baron de PALMS friends have essayed to
to prepare him for immortality first by
the one method and then by the other.
To the Christian faith the fate of the
body has nothing whatever to do with
the future ofthe soul 1t is tenantless
house; like the log cabin which the lum-
herman leaves when the forest is cleared
and his work ,lone--He cares rot what
becomes of it. So the Christian gives
the body back to Nature and leaves her
to dispose OF it as she will. And she
puts busy fingers at work dismantling
it, and disintegrates it, and merges il in
to the common earth, and, by process
as benefCent as it is beautiful, makes it
feed the springing grass and blooming
flowers and thus reappear in all forms of
fruitfulness and beauty in an immortality
OF its own. The simplest burial is the
most Christian-in the wicker coffin,
where the process of decay may be the
speediest, and the temperance of new
forms the earliest. Preserving the body
destroying the body--these are simple
remnants of on effete superstition.
Christian burial simply leaves the body,
and the more simple the better And as
for the mortality of the soul, God shall
give it body us it pleaseth Him.-S. +.

ENTHUsAsM or THE SERyIANs-of
the enthusiasm of all Seryia, and of all
Slays outside Of Servia, in favor OF this
war, there can be no doubt. The afro
cious rule of the Turks when they gov
erned this country, their bad admlnistra
tion in Bosnia, Herzegovina, and Buiga
ria at the present time, and the barba-
rous cruelty practiced in time of iusur-
rection on even the most peaceable Of
the Christian subjects of the Sultan by
Bashi Bazouks, Redits, Circassans, and
other irregular troops employed in the
work of endeavoring TO put down those
risings by fire and sword, have sunk so
deeply into the souls Of the Servians,
that never will there be peace in tile
country until the las. trace OF hussul-
man rule is a thing OF the past. The
monks have left their converts to march
with the columns going TO DO battle, ard
inspire them by the cross which they
hold aloft at the head of the battalions.
Every man and woman in Servia regards
the war az one in The cause Of Christ and
country, and have NOT met one OF them
in any class OF life who could be made
TO understand why Scrvia should not
have the symp.'hy Of every Christian
nation CVr. ivHeyr Tt0la
