Some melancholy grave digger is
allowed to waste space in the Examiner
with an attempt to prove that cremation
is prejudiclal to public health, unscrip
tural and tends to make people goddess.
In support Of the first proposition he
argues that if the crematory were loca
ted above the water works, the filth
would run into the Conestoga and pollute
the water the citizens of Lancaster
would have to drink" AS there Is no
more filth about crematOry than
there is about bakery, this
objection Is easily removed; and
as the Lancaster cemetery, with its
live or ten thousand mouldering dead,
and the stock yards, have been above the
water works all these years 1t would be
relief to plant nice clean crematory
In the same quarter Of the city.
The Scripture cited by the Examiners
correspondent to prove the impiety Of
cremation hasn't word against it. 1t is
true that most Of the patrlarchs are
related to have been burled-there
is no proof that they were not FIRST
burned-but, in those days, population
was sparse, few dwelt in cities and
ground was abundant. Moreover, some
of the very references cited, point to
ward cremation. For they buried
Samuel In his house at Ramah," Il
Sam. XIV, ~; and very likely that
means his ashes they would hardly
have buried the body in the house.
Again '1he bones of Saul and Jonathan,
his son buried they'-just as they do In
Japan, after cremation Of the flesh.

doctrine has arisen In the person Of the

and religious objections TO 1t, He says /:
