Funeral Services Of
a Church Mortgage

The people Of Freehold. y. J., witnessed
a novel ceremony on the eve OF Washing
IONS Birthday. It was a funeral to which
all the residents Of the town were cor
daily invited, and in which the corpse was
not a human being. as one would suppose,
but the Cancelled mortgage Of the old
church debt
The mortgage was borne up the aisle Of
the church by fourteen honorary pail
bearers. who passed it over to the pastor,
DR.. Fox. and he tenderly placed ii upon
the pedestal within the altar railing
where it remained during the ceremony
At the conclusion the pastor became the
undertaken for the time being, and con-
Quoted the cremation services.
He lighted the mortgage, and in full
view Of the entire congregation it was in
cinerated.
The mourners were summoned by the
toIling Of the church bell, which struck
thirty-one times. signifying the age Of the
deceased. The services opened with the
singing OF the doxology and the carrying
of the remains to the altar by the four
teen persons who represented the suffer-
ers Of the tyranny and extOrtion Of the
deceased.
A special committee, Of which DR.. /. S.
Long was chairman, presented a historical
sketch OF the mortgage. showing that it
had existed from 1871. when the mortgage
was $4,000. and had in 1880 been reduced
to $4,000. The congregation. through the
past twenty years, had gradually cut this
down TO s., 900, and this had just been paid
on. As a result OF this invitations had
been received from the church by the
townspeople reading like this

When he was called upon to succeed

he would look upon his royal functions as
a kind OF magnificent but dreary retire

enormous expenditure OF activity which
he had put forth when carrying out tho
