given any signs of life
Have you ever heard Of any cases in other
places:"
at is said that one was saved in Erfurt, but
1t is only a report; may be true or may mol be
true
This is the testimony that comes uniformly
from all the books and all the countries whers
the subject receives careful attention. Whilc
It goes to show that instances of premature
burial are exceedingly rare, 1t does not show
that such cases are impossible. In times OF
prevailing epidemic, when bodies are carried
off by authority as rapidly as possible, to re-
tard the progress of pestilence, 1t would not
be strange if mistakes were made. Asialic
cholera sometimes brings the victim to a state
of apparent death, from which he may rccov'
er, under careful and pcrscvcrlng treatment.
But in the common course of human expert
ence, the approach and advent of death are so
clearly defined, and certainty so easily had,
that premature burial can be possible only
from great carelesspess or indecent haste
The ordinary tests of the breathing may fail,
but the action of the heart can be detected by
the ear, even when the most delicate hand
fails to discover ii by the sense OF feeling. In
newborn infants it is difficult to detect the
motion for some minutes together but in the
ease OF others, the interval between pulsatioDs
of the heart does not exceed six or eight Sec
onds. And if this examination is made TWEEN
ty-tour hours after death 10 supposed to have
taken place, the fact is made certain one way
or the other. There are other tests which
may be readily applied, but they are not need.
ed In the case Of persons dying under ordln'
ary circumstances. The customs of civiliza-
ton, the dictates Of natural affection, and the
most rational judgment, require such an in
terval of time between death and burial, as to
make the case palpable to the senses, so that
no posslUr doubt can exist 1t is not likely
that one case .f dOuH occurs in each million
of persons buried and the one case of doubt
would prove 10 h" a certain death in nine
cases out of ten. From all which infer that
the nervous apprehension some people have
that they will be buried alive, Is just as I'M
reasonable as it would be for man to expect
10 be taken up to heaven IN Il chariot OF fire.
Such an event has occurred, and it is not i'm
possible that it may again. But it is not
probable.

In an article under the above heading, in
Scrijney for June Dr. Holland says;
With the passing away of the theological
essay, will pass away much OF the necessity
of written discourses; and it viii be noticed
that very nearly in the proportion in which
the character Of preaching has changed, has
the oral supplanted the written discourse.
We think it is seen now, with great distinct
ness, that, in addressing motives, direct
speech from heart to heart is almost infinite
~ superior to the reading of pages conceived
and framed IN the study. If instruction We're
needed upon this point, the history Of Meth.

pulpit 20 the hear; and life, the success of this
denomination has been enormous. With
high culture on the part of its teachers, its
progress would possibly have been wider,
but they have at least proved that the direct,
spoken discourse is Il power which every
pulpit should assume and use as soon as 1t
can. The question whether q young man
who cannot acquire the ability to speak well
without reading has call 10 preach is, to
say the least, an open one. Al any rate this

Too late the tardy need we bring,
