is considered a rather unusual pro-

many people will hesitate to follow to
the letter, when a funeral occurs in
their family, was unanimously adopt
ed by the High Point Pastors Asso-
citation in session yesterday. 1t is as
follows:
Believing that there should be a
uniformity in the manner of conduct
ing funerals and further believing that
some of the customs now followed arc
unnecessarily taxing to the family and
friends of the deceased by exposure
To the weather, etc, we are agreed to
the following suggestions which we
hope all Will conform to as early as
possible.
"First-That we recommend that
as far as practicable all should AVOID
arranging for funerals to be conducted
on Sundays.
second we discourage the
use of black as an emblem Of mourn
ing.
"Third-That the funeral director
be encouraged to take charge of ar
rangements and relieve the ministers
of this duty, either at the church or
elsewhere.
"Fourth-That excessive expense
be carefully avoided.
"Fifth-That the casket be not
opened after leaving the residence.
only in very exceptional cases, but
that all who desire to view the re-
mains go to the residence and that as
far as possible the family should BE-
alone when taking fna! view of the
remains.
"Sixth-That the funeral services
be not prolonged by unnecessary eulo-
gies of the dead or by long discourse
on Immortality.
"Scventh.-That if the weather is
inclement men should not be expected
to remove their hats during the read
ing of the burial service.
"Eighth-At the grave when the
casket is lowered and the burial SER
vices has been read, the congregation
shall be dismissed by the bcDediction
or prayer, leaving the filling of the
grave to the sexton, who by taking his
own time can do it much bctter-thGs
saving the exposure to the weather

severe strain of hearing the rumbling
of the c!ods which are to be the COW

fit of Democratic Clubs.
LINCOLN, Neb., April 3. 1T is
a getting together of the aggressive
elements of the party in active pre-
liminary work for the great battle of
190S,' said w. j.. Bryan in explanation
of his recent activity in connection
with plans for the Democratic cam
paign of 1908. Mr.. Bryan has returned
home from Des Moines. and it was
with particular reference to the meet
ing held there, at which he made the
principal address, that he spoke. Mr..
Bryan explained that the Des Moines
meeting, like the n held at Topeka,
Kan, was to further Il movement for
the organization of Democratic clubs.
In Iowa, he said, the same plan had
been adopted as in Kansas, with both
of which he was in hearty sympathy.
Reorganization" continued Mr.. Bry-
an, sis hardly the proper way to ex-
press it, because the party does not
need reorganization. There is no fac
tional division calling for separate eff
forts, but the movement is to get back
TO the people, to put the radical and
progressive element in complete
control, that there may be united, har-
monious effort for the campaign of
1908. The purpose is to begin at the
bottom, letting the rank and file have
Q voice in the national convention by
writing the platform at home for the
national convention to ratify."
Mr.. Bryan said he was not trying to
head a faction or to change the organi-
zations further than that he wanted the
progressive men of the party to take
the lead. The conservatives, he said,
had dominated the last national con-
yention, and the party had met defeat.
He believed the rank and file of the
voters was for progression and radical
ism if need be.
