to care little for his life. but has the
most profound respect for funeral

While the funeral procession moves

may be in a low voice. but it is

is laid before the chancel gates. ta-

ladder is erected by the side of the cOf-

Heaven, after which the grave is filed.
Then the family and friends return
to the house to partake of the funeral
feast. This is frequently interrupted
with prayers and the arrival of beg
gars. The latter are treated as guests.
and are given aims besides, SO that u
funeral is an oasis for them.
Those of ample means who bury
members of their families make the
event one for atoning for their sins,
and have daily mass said at their
house for more than q month. They
give to all beggars. and spread a mid,
