Rites Observed When Death Entered n
Monastery and Claimed a Victim.
In the Durham Rites" we read how
before the high altar were three mar
yelous faire silver basons hung in
cLaines of silver" these contained great
wax candles, (which did burne contin-
ually both day and night, in token that
the house was always watchinge to
6od." Many and various are the es-
Inmates which men make as to the eff
acacy of prayer in changing or modi-
fying Gods purposes toward men; few
/ will, however, be found to deny the
moral beauty of this conception, which
was the common heritage of all the
monastic orders. The ideal of every
monastery was the ideal typified by
the Durham ever-burning lights. "The
house was always watchinge to God"
The well-known collects and prayers en-
shrined in the solemn liturgy of the
Church of England are in large meas
ure the prayers and collects prayed and
sung for so many centuries, by day and
by night, in the 1000 abbeys and chap
els of the monks; they were thus for
ever interceding "for all sorts and con-
ditions of men,"
But, besides the perpetual prayers
for others, peculiar spiritual fellow
ship existed between the religious"
of the same order, and indeed was often
extended to those of other orders. Mr..
HUNT can Account of the Priory of
ST. Peter and st. Paul at Bath'O gives
us a remarkable illustration of this
fellowship in the bond of prayer made
between the priory of Bath and six
other Benedictine converts, as far back
as A. d. 1877, in which the parties
agreed to pray for one another and their
brethren, and to be loyal to the king
and queen with one heart and one soul.
sit will be observed" adds Mr.. Hunt,
shat two of the abbots were of the con-
their English brethren is pleasant to
contemplate"
When a monk died a messenger was
dispatched to all the religious commu-
mites from which prayers were due.
and indeed to many others, with the
mortuary roll, having at the head an
announcement of the death and short
| account of the deceased. Each commu-
nifty acknowledged the receipt of the
roll by writing upon it a promise of
prayer for the soul of the departed,
and, as rule, request for similar
prayers for their deceased brethren and
benefactors was added. The benefits
of these prayers seem to have been
| granted to large number of benefac-
tors and others. Nor was this priv
ilege by any means confined to the
great and wealthy; very small, even
normal payment, such as a pound of
wax, seems to have qualified a man or
woman to receive it, if otherwise fl
ting, into the number of 'fratres" or
'sorores" of the convent. Those so adj
nnitted knew that the Divine sacrifice
was daily offered for them in the
church of the monastery, and that
prayer was continually made for them
while they lived, and that after death
the welfare of their souls would be the
subject of special intercession.-Quar-
terly Review.

ENGLISH VITAL STATISTICS.
The Marriages, Births and Deaths Dur
ing the Year 1894.

The Marriages, Births and Deaths Dur
ing the Year 1894.
The 57th annual report of the regis
trar general of marriages, births and
deaths in England and Wales in 1894
has just been published. His statistics
are based on a population estimated
to number in the middle of the year
1894 3O,060,763 persons (14,565,e 600 males
and 15,495, 103 females). The number
of marriages registered was $40,
corresponding to rate of ISL persons
married per 1000 living. The rate in
1898 was 14.7, and the average rate from
1884 to 1898 was 14.9. This recovery
conceded with a slight fall in the value
of British exports, and with a fall in
the price of wheat of 1873 per cent.
below that of 1898, which had been the
lowest on record. OF the marriages
contracted in 1894 1855, 1852, or Csc per
1000, were celebrated according to the
rites of the Established church, and
1907, or 314 per 1000 otherwise. Of
the 221,215 couples whose ages were
stated in the register the mean ages
were 2S.41 for men and SIS for women.
The figures for 1894 show the first nota-
BILE break in the increase of the mean
pge at marriage, which has been going
on for several years. This is not accom-
panied by any increase in the proper
tons of under-age marriages.
Births during the year numbered
S90,2S9, and were in the proportion of
P9.6 per 1000 persons living, being the
lowest on record, and showing a fall
of per 1000 below the mean rate in
the preceding decennium. The deaths
amounted to 9S,S27, proportion of
1876 per 1000. The average rate in the
preceding ten years was 1872. The
death rate in 1894 was considerably
lower than in any previous year on
record. In 1894 the death rates at the
several age groups were not only con-
siderably lower than the mean rates
in the previous four years, but were
also lower even than the exceptionally
low rates of 1888 and 1889. The death
rate in the urban districts was III, or
more than Is per cent, and in the rural
districts 1876, or nearly IL per cent.
below the decennial average. The
deaths from smallpox numbered $50,
or 81 per 100000, as compared with 40
per 100000 in 1898. The scarlet-fever
rate was the lowest, and the enteric-
fever rate almost the lowest on record
On the other hand, the diphtheria NOR
tality was So per cent. above the decen-,
NAL averaUa The deaths attributed
to suicide were 2,729, or 81 per 100000;
the highest rate on record.-Chicago
