We Can Not Give You the Earth.


We can give you an idea. which, when
carried out, will cause you to pat your
self on the back for your good judgment
and cause your stay on earth to be pleas
ant in enjoying the consciousness of duty
done. Did it ever occur to you that the
income of your labor, your salary or pro-
fit in business is the most valuable thing
in dollars that your family has? No man
regrets the loss of this income after
death, but his dependent family will need
the salary just the same. The idea Is this
Think earnestly for awhile over the pres
ent situation and the probable future con-
dition of the dear ones dependent upon
you for support in event of your old age
when you are untitled for profitable work,
or after your early death; then figure on
about as much sound and reliable life in
surance, such as is written by the Massa-
your dependent ones in event of your
death or old age, then send your age and
address to Harry & Apple, managers for
Georgia, for a specimen of a policy of
guaranteed values and up-to-date fea-
lures. Over $S,0OO,O00 of insurance in this
company on the lives of prudent men and
women of Savannah alone.
Don't be foolish, don't be selfish. You
ray say that you will take chances and
not insure. but you forget that all the
chances are being taken by your family.
1t is no trouble to show goods, and we
welcome the intelligent critical eye. Be
wise In time.-ad

REFORM IN FUNERALS.
Change in Customs Discussed by
NIinIsters' Association.


Ministers' Association.
The Savannah Ministerial Association,
at its last meeting, appointed a commit
tee to prepare a set of suggestions to
the general public relative to funeral
services. The ministers feel that in
some lines the funeral customs commonly
practiced evidently need reform. What
is herein submitted by the pastors is Of
fered merely as a suggestion, and Is
prompted by consideration of the feel
ings of the bereaved and out of regard for
the health of all who may attend fu-
neral services. The recommendations
are as follows:
That funerals be not appointed for
Sunday when 1t can be avoided.
That the minister whose presence is de-
sired be consulted before time and place
OF service are fixed. These suggestions are
made to prevent a conflict of hours in
the funeral service and other pastoral
demands, and 10 avoid delay and incon-
venience to the parties arranging for the
funeral service.
That relatives and friends take their
last look at the remains in private before
the service, and that the casket then be
finally closed. This suggestion is made
out of considera ton for the feelings of
the bereaved and to avoid painful sus-
pense.
That ordinarily the service consist OF
Scripture reading, songs and prayers, with
out eulogy or address, and that the songs
or hymns be selected after consultation
with che officiating minister.
That in inclement weather during the
interment persons are requested not to
remove their hats, respect for the depart,
ed should never lessen regard for the
health of the living.
That in general, simplicity and absence
of display be observed.
That the interment be private and that
relatives and friends not wait for the
grave to be flied, was another PROPOSE
ton that was discussed and which met
with some favor. though it was not en-
bodied in the list of those suggested be-
cause it was thought by some to be too
radical.
The ministers feel that the general &C
ceptance of these suggestions will be a
distinct advantage to everybody concerned
in funeral arrangements, and viii obviate
in measure many of the painful scenes
usually enacted at the grave, and lessen
the chances of those that are present be-
coming sick through needless exposure.
