very ancient one and the Moslems are
simply initiating the practice of the Jews,
who, from the time of the prophets, en-
plOyed professionals to make demonstra-
tiOns of grief and lamentatiOn. In all jew
ish cities and communities professional
mourners are called upon TO make public
lamentations for the dead. OF more or
less extravagant manner. Their manifesto
tions of grief are often boisterous. They
tear their hair, beat their breasts, rend
their garments, cast dust upon their heads
and shed profuse tears, introducing the
names of the dead and their relatives into
their cries and means. In ancient times II
was customary to preserve the tears shed
on these occasions each professional and
actual mourner being provided with bot
tie called a "lachrymatory." made of thin
glass or pottery with long, slender necks
and funnel-shaped mouths In order 10 catch
the tears. 1t was customary~to cork and
seal these tear bottles carefully and place
them in the collins of the dead a COM
plimentary testimonial, the amount of tears
shed being a measure of the grief. You will
find several illusions TO this custom in the
Bible and If you have the opportunity Of
attending a funeral in Damascus any
