Rev. ". A. Gardner Strongly
Endorses Cremation.
WAS ONCE OPPOSED TO 1T
The Rule of Sentiment Conduct of Flu
Experience Twenty
Years.

u At the Christian church last evening
Rev. w. A. Gardner, the pastor, pre-
faced his sermon with a brief address
on cremation, substantially as follows:
THE majority of the race is con-
trolled by habit, fashion or sentiment.
We boast of our God given reason
yet few are led by it. Like the Chi
nese, who for generations have worn
the queue we go on doing many things
that our fathers did, with no more rea-
SON for them than the Chinaman has
for wearing the appendage to his head:
lyet like the Mongolian, we cling as
tenaciously to them as though they
were necessary to our life.
Il am thoroughly convinced the prop
er way to dispose of our dead is by
incarceration but a large number of in
Itelligent people are opposed to it. The
opposition is not because of any sub
'stantial reason they have against it
but because they are Influenced by
habit, fashion or sentiment, at least
those are the things which for years
caused me to oppose cremation.
when it was first proposed to es-
'tablish ciematories in the United States
Il condemned IL BECAUSE | believed in

christian. To nc. 70 many others
who nave no5 carefasly considered TIE
subject, the thing seemed hideous and
terrible.
Some years ago I superintendent the
removal of the bodies of some of my
friends from family to a city cemete-
Try. I had previously thought, in an in
different way, of the slow decay of the
body and it's consumption by worms
but when | saw the condition of those
remains, which had been in the ground
from six to thirty years, the horrors of
cremation seemed very Insignificant
compared to that of a casket filled with
thousands of loathsome worms feeding |
upon the decaying flesh.
IF the disposition of our dead is a !
Of the facts will certainly |
make that sentiment favorable to in
''If we consider the responsiveness Of |
the two ways of disposing of the dead, |
there is much the same difference as
between the different ways of disposing |
of criminals condemned to death. In |
past ages capital punishment was adj |
by crucifXion, burning at
the stake, etc. The modern idea Is to |
extinguish the life as quickly as pos
sible and in a way 10 cause as little
pain as may be- Why should not the
same principle be applied to the body?
Let it be placed in the carefully and
prepared chamber of the |
crematory where the dissolution occurs
and "ashes TO ashes" takes place with
out the assistance of microbes and |
worms through years of poisonous put
refaction.
During an experience of more than |
twenty-five years in conducting fun
erals, I have noticed that the most |
heartrending scene in connection with |
those sad occasions is when the body |
is lowered into the grave and the work

1ncanny appearance, cast in the earth |

ourials IS often augmented by the swell

a raise of % cents a ton. Another adj

THE VERMONT coNFEREN CE.

Opening OF the Annual Session at New
port neutrality-suspicious. Foreshad-
owed.
The 55th annual session of the Vermont
Methodist Episcopal conference convened
at Newport Wednesday, Bishop Willard +.
Mallalieu of Boston presiding Several
important changes will necessarily be made
by the expiration of the time limit of the
pastors. Presiding Elder L. o. Sherburne
OF the st. Adams district has held that Of
nee for the full six years and will probably
be stationed at Enosburgh Falls for the
coming year. His successor as presiding
elder will be Rev. DR.. c. S. Nutter of st.
Adams or Rev. W. S. Smthers of Hard
wick. Because of the i'll health of his wife
Rev. w. X. Davenport, presiding elder of
the Montpelier district, will ask to be ex-
cused from that office and will take an APP
pointment. The Montpelier Record says
that during the past year Rev. MI. Daven-
ports superior executive ability and his
consecrated labors in the pulpit have been
felt throughout the Montpelier district. and
the pastors will part with his services as
sub bishop with sincere regret. A deega-
ton from the st. Adams church is urging
his appointment as pastor there, and Bish-
OPP Mallalieu will undoubtedly heed their
request. 1t is expected that Rev. Mr.
Smithers of Hardwick or Rev. DIR. Nutter
of st. Adams will succeed Mr.. Davenport
as presiding elder of the Montpelier dis
trict.' Rev. J. 0. Sherburne will undoubt-
eddy continue as presiding elder of the st.
Johnsbury district.
Rev. DR.. A. L, Cooper of Painfeld will
take superannuated relation after 81 con-
secutive years of service in the Verm ont
conference. DR.. Cooper has bought a
house in Randolph and will go there to
live after conference. His successor at
Plainfeld will probably be Rev. S. G. Lew
is of Marshfeld.
When, several weeks ago, Rev. Andrew
Gillies expressed a desire to leave Mont
pelier and be transferred to the Troy con-
ference, he gave the official board of Trim
ity church to understand that under no
circumstances did he desire to return to
Montpelier. If he failed of the appoint
ment of the State street church at Troy,
n. Y, as he desired, he would spend the
coming year in study. Acting on this in
formation the stewards at Trinity church
extended call to Rev. c. o. Judkins of
Windsor, which has been accepted.
Mr. Gillies goes to the Troy church, and
Rev. Fred G. Rainey is transferred from
the Troy to the Vermont conference. He
was at Dalton, n. Y, one year at a salary
of $1,000 and a parsonage; at Williams
town, Mass, where is located Williams
college, at a salary of Sl100 and parson-
age, and at Whitehall, n. Y, where his
salary was $1,000, with parsonage. He is
highly recommended by the members of
the Troy conference as a strong preacher,
good pastor, and a wise administrator. 1t
is not settled as yet, where in Vermont he
will be stationed.
