wound the feelings of afflicted friends
This we do not believe that Christian
honesty or faithfulness demands of him.
A fair statement in brief of the case is,
| think, this Cd If we have what may
be called a neutral form, such as that
furnished for use where ono minister is
present to officiate," it is not all that the
Scriptures suggest, and the Christian
heart calls for, at the burial of the Chris
tan. (2) If We have burial service
such as is scriptural and appropriate for
use at the burial of a Christian, but which,
tor this very reason, can not be used at
the burial OF one openly irreligious with
out associating the hopes of the gospel
with the close of an obviously irreligious
life, we compel the minister, by his US
ing or refusing to use it, to pass judg-
ment, publicly, upon the character Of
every one he is called upon to bury and
this neither Christian honesty or faith
fulness demands of him, or (3) If we
have two forms, as some have suggested,
one to be used at the burial of the Chris
tian, and the other at that of the irreli-
gious man, we still more obviously COM
pei the minister to pass judgment upon
VIC CudrdCteT oI lne deceased.
The question may be asked, Can this
difficulty be avoided by leaving the whole
service to the discretion of the minister
conducting it? To this, l answer, Yes
if he be discreet educated man, as the
ministers of the Presbyterian Church are
presumed to be, In ministry extend
ing over more than forty years, during
which | have been called upon to con-
duct the funeral services of persons of all
classes and characters, have never found
any serious difficulty in SO ordering the
service, as not to compromise Gods truth
on the one hand, and not to seem to sit in
Judgment upon the character of the de-
ceased or wound the feelings of mourning

done this, had our Directory for Worship

Rev. John M. Harris.

AT his home on Jersey Mountain, near
Rom1ney, West Va, Rev. John M. Har-
ris departed this life, on the 18th of Feb
ruary, in the '73rd year of his age.
Many, doubtless to whom these tidines
come, are ready to say "the beauty Of
Israel is slain upon thy high places; how
are the mighty fallen'' For those who
best knew him of whom they tell feel in
their saddened, yet comforted hearts that
there is prince and great man fallen
this day in Israel"
Born in Baltimore, February 25th,
1903, he grew up without special reli-
glous impressions until in his goth year
when under the ministry of DR.. VIM.
Nevlns, pastor of the 1st Presbyterian
church Of that city, he was brought to
see himself, and his Saviour. Uniting
with that church, his attention turned
at once to the Sacred Ministry. for which
he possessed some natural gifts to an
extraordinary degree-for in the iudp-
ment OF well qualified critics, he was
said to be "a born orator" He pursued
his theological studies at Princeton Sem
mary, and was licensed to preach the
Gospel just before, or soon after, leaving
its halls. With his splendid endowments
OF person, mind and heart, he took place.
almost at bound, among the foremost
preachers of that day. His sermons rich
In divine truth, ornate in style, lucid in
order, and delivered with commanding
eloquence, charmed and instructed those
who heard him. Feeble health-some
organic arrangement which often made it
agony for him to preach-caused him to
decline ordination, and the settled charge
OF any church. Still, up to 1910, be la
bored earnestly as he was able, preaching

Syrian Sunerstitions.

There are many superstitious obser-
vances among the natives of Syria
which are worthy of mention. Perhaps
none are more curious than the
formalities with which silkworm culture
is conducted. When the eggs are hatch
ed the peasants wife rises early in the
morning, creeps stealthily to her masters
door and filings a piece of clay against
it. If the clay adheres it portends a
good harvest, If not no silk must be
expected. During the whole time in
which the worms are being reared no
one but the peasants themselves dare
enter the khook or hut where the
insects are, and when the worms are
about to mount and form cocoons further
precautions are taken; the door is
locked, and the key handed with cere-
mony to ike proprietor of the silkworms.
When the necessary time has gone by,
and it is supposed that the cocoons are
well and strongly formed, the proprietor,
followed by the peasants, marches in a
sort of procession to the huts, and first
giving the latter few presents in the
shape of moneyor goods, express a hope
of good fortune. The peas ants all re-
ply simultaneously: Inshalla In
shalla please God, please God p the
key is turned with much ceremony, the
door opened, the expectant party enter
the hut, and at once the cocoons are
taken in possession, and the process of
preparing them for Keeling begins.

Well, sir, the other night he went to a

didn't put on his arctic overshoes and
lead the girl right out before the old

"Mr. Scollops," she says, 'ffor pity S

toward the old man, glowering in the
