not at hand at this time, but figures

requires a larger force of employees to

formerly; IL requires more room it
requires larger stock; 1t requires more
constant application and time from

1t would appear that certainly SO
early as about A. d. $50 spaces Of
ground adjoining churches were inclos-
ed and c|onsecrated for burial, and by q
canon Of the ninth century every grave
was to be esteemed sacred, to be adorn-
ed with the sign Of the cross ana to be
preserved from trespass and violation
by dogs and cattle. Many c%hurchyards
have n history far older than tie
churches which stand in them, being
originally places appropriated to reli-
glous assemblies. divine service being
performed there, until at length the
church was added for greater honor
and convenience.
1t has been noted rs n curious fact
that IN a large majority Of cases the
~chuTchyards are on the north side of
the church and on the north side of
the read leading to them. There Is a
superstition among many old fash
toned folk that the north side Of the
churchyard is less sacred than the
rest OF the consecrated ground. "ro
be buried there" wrote Dm,andus, the
great fourteenth century e~cclesi0stic,

countries, TO be buried out of sanctu.
