8. Funeral services. We res
commend at all ordinary fuuer
ais, the ON ssion of what is
properly known "a the "fupera'

funeral
6. Opening the casket This
opens anew the fountain Of tears
and when in public exposes the
face Of the beloved dead to the
oftimes prurient curiosity of a
criticising crowd. Il would be
well, therefore, for the family
aud friends ordinarily tJ take
the last fond look at the face Of
the dead in private, before the
funeral services begins, after
which the casket should not be
opened.
Z. Selection of time for the
funeral. Ihe day and hour
should not be fixed, and GER
tainly should never be publish

ofiiciate has first been c INSULT
ed, that there be 20 conflict

mark ot respect that the whole

standing vhie the body is
borne mic and out Of the church
and until the family are seated
and also at he close until they
have passed out Of tie church
We believe the changes re-
spectfuljy suggested above will
commend themselves to every
thoughtful mind who appreci~
ates the sentiments Of the liv

claims Of the living. as prompt

sacred and tender associations
that cluster Ground the burial
Of our beloved dead. and as con.
ducive TO the highest interests
Of the bereaved and often de-
pendent living who are left to
mourn and suffer from the death
Of the departed. Convinced Of
this, we feel assured that our
motives in suggesting these
changes will also be recognized
as pure, and i'm tender sympa-
thy with all the sous and daugh.
