ASHES TO ASHES.
A Cremation Boom the Latest
Of Pastor Raboteau's Series
of Sensations.

tsSha1l the dead be cremated?" was the
subject of an interesting prelude to the
regular sermon of the Rev. Claude Rab-
oteau in the Parmiy Memorial Church
last night. The pastor spoke about as
follows
This is a solemn theme to consider, and
one that can be touched upon in a Chris
tan pulpit with only the greatest eau
don and the ~profoundest reverence. A
mai who shocks the feelings of these
who are bearing the sorrow of having
lost dear ones is a brute. No theory
should be advocated that rides rough shod
over the affections of mourning hearts!
I know what this sorrow means, and
nothing is further from my intentions to-
night than to say a word that could be
construed into coa1cmning the feelings
one has when a dear one lies dead; fell
ings that seek to bestow the most loving
care and affection upon the remains of
that loved one for whom eyes now drop
bitter tears.
Personally, I believe that the dead
should not be buried, but cremated, and
while I am prepared to demonstrate my
reasons for this belief in sound. and what
/ think logical propositions, / would be
the last one to counsel such q course to
q mourner in a time OF sorrow and be-
reavement. While / think that we should
be just as reverept to our dead, just as
faithful to their memories, If we dispensed
with cemeteries altogether and burned
the remains to ashes, ! should never offer
any advice on the subject at all In any
case save as a general presentation Of my
Views before the public at large.
If ever q persons feelings should
be religiously respected and his
wishes Faithfully carried our, it is
when death enters the hcme. II
