"It is gratifying to note among
P~rotestants in general, and Meth
odists in particular, a reform in
the method of conducting funerals
is being effected. The time has
been, and not very long ago,
when on such occasions, a great
parade was deemed necessary. A
large number of carriages was pro-
vided and an expense incurred
which, in many cases, the afflicted
family could i'll afford. At pres
ent, the inclination is towards SIM
plicity. Short services are per-
formed at the home OR in the
church, and the interment at the
cemetery is "private," that is, at
tended only by the family. This
is at it should be, and the reform
now in progress is in the right
