in low" Then followed the casting Of

words, "Then shall the earth return
unto the dust as it was, and the spirit
unto God who gave it," and after an
invocation to heaven in the original
Hebrew, the body was consigned TO
the grave to become part of mother
earth. The service was continued and
closed at the house of mourning by
PRAYER for peace and consolation to
those who were in sorrow. The floral
offerings were elaborate, representing
the Gates ajar," aud other appropri-
