Customs That Seem TO he Opposed to tho
Teachings OF Christianity.
1t is n sad commentary on n Christian
community, which takes that distinctive
title from religion whose founder is
called the Consoler, because his word
plucks the sting from death, that it
surrounds death with every circum-
stance of woe and gloom, writes George
William Curtis, in Harper's Magazine.
The distinctive ministry of the faith
seems to fall ut the very point to which
it is especially addressed. The natural
Christian tone at the burial of the dead
would seem to be the cheer that springs
from the thought of immortality-a
sublime hope, q tender resignation.
The Christian thought in that hour
should instinctively dwell upon the soul,
and not upon the body, and the simplest
and most transformations rite of burial
would seem to be the most truly
Christian. But the ostcntation of
Christian funerals has become SO great
that burial reform associations are
formed, both in this country and in
England, to relieve the poor of the
painful and needless cost which, from
mistaken respect for the dead, thew
will not spare so long as ostentation is
the custom.
