Concerning Funerals.

rev George T.. Tufts, pastor of the Belfast Bap-
ti~t church, drove to Northport ON sunday last, Il
distance of seven miles and preached ii funeral
sermon 1T 10 A. NJ. From thence he drove TO Bel
mont, nine miles, where he preached another fun
conducting his regular church service at F. NJ. In
the evening he also held regular church services.
In conversation Mr.. Tufts gave i Journal repre-
sentative muci, valuable information in regard to
funerals and the manner of conducting them both
in the country and in the city. Nh. Tufts said the
method Of conducting funeral services has chang
cd with everything else, ard he thinks for the bet
ter. The long and aborious sermons of the past
hay' given way to reading OF the Scriptures and
playel ut buriaI> Sometimes brief mention is
made of the deceased Professors Of theological
institutions now instruct students to conduct
funeral, with scripture reading and prayer. An
other thing which elergymen are united upon, ana
that j, IN the avoidance, when possible Of having
funerals ON sunday. Nj. Tufts contends that sun
day is the regular day for the preacher to conduct
ms church duties, anil that all his energies ought
to be bent in that direction. In places where un-
takers cmbalm bodies readily as they do
now no necessity arises for holding funerals on
sunday.
Recently funeral wa, conducted in a Waldo
county town, agreeable to the ancient CUSTOM The
entire neighborhood repaired to the church. After
several hymns and PRAYER the minister preached
q sermon one hour in length. At the close of the
services the manager thanked those present, and
invited all to follow the remains to the grave after
which to repair to the house where refreshments
would lie served. A dinner was served to u large

A Soldiers Monument.

The town of MachiaS has just completed a
work which seems incumbent upon every
town and city in the broad land, but which,
we regret to say, is by many of them deferred
to "a more convenient season." Thus says the
Bridgeton News. Its remarks are pertinent
here. Let us add to the improvements already
ensured for the coming year the erection of a
monument to those who gave their lives for
the Union in the late civil war. 1t may as well
be done now as later There is nothing to be
gained by delay. There is now about 81 200 in
the bank to the credit of the monument fund
Let us devote the coming winter to raising the
additional money needed. We have two local
organizations, the G. A. r. Post and Relief
Corps. to whom the work properly belongs
and we are sure they will receive the hearty
cooperation of the citizens generally. The
Journal will cheerfully do its part. We might
have a repetition of the fair with which the
fund was started, and our amateurs would no
doubt give their services for dramatic or
musical entertainment, or both. What say the
Post and Relief Corps? Let them take the
matter into consideration at an early meeting
and decide upon some course of action.
In other columns we give the latest returns
received from Tuesdays election. The num-
Der of tickets in the field in some States makes
the counting of the votes slow process. In
New England the Mugwump vote went to the
Democrats and this with the Prohibition vote
cast in the same interest caused some Republic
can losses, but these are more than offset by
the splendid Republican gains in the West and
in Virginia. At this writing there are no fig
ures showing the general result as to Congress
men, but indications point to decided reduc-
ton in the present Democratic majority.
