CHOOSING THE ESSENTIALS.


Do we really want to lead the simple life? Like
all other good things, it must have its drawbacks.

of being abreast of the times which should lose
If refused TO 5estow attention upon the latest
successors Of ping pong and pit, TO read the latest
popular novel, TO gorge ourselves with all the
details Of the current murder trial On q some

to feel that in touch with all the great
events OF world history that we can do our share
in advancing all kinds of forward movements and
fiji every waking hour with a wide diversity of
Glterests. There is great attTactveness in the

The problem of the simple life, then resolves
itself into one OF choice We must choose tn

In order to choose wisely one must have a pretty
good knowledge of his own temperament and abili-
ties well as OF the things that are most worth
while. Good literature and good art are the results
OF a wise elimination OF details and emphasis on
essentials and the art of living is no less dependent
upon this power TO choose.
Fortunately. most people have only q limited time
in which to exercise this power, since the re-

To the Public.

The following interesting card is for
the consideration of the public, from the
official board Of st. James NJ. E. church:
1t has been suggested many times to
the board that some improvement in the
management or custom OF conducting
funerals should be decided upon before
accident should make the change i'm
perative,
The custom Of carrying the remains
up the steps to the basement entrance
of the church, then up the narrow wind.
ing stairs and through the aisle, "a cir
cuitous route, no point of which is com
fortably wide for full-sized casket and
attendant pail bearers), is at best very
awkward procedure. But, in addition to
the awkwardness and inconvenience this
custom is positively dangerous, as the
testimony of stalwart men-taxed to
their strength while in the capacity of
pall-bearers-fully testify.
The northwest entrance to the church
is easily accessible. Pail bearers can de-
corously. easily and safely manage the
largest casket if the funeral director will
provide the modern roller carrier.
In consideration Of the foregoing, the
following action has been taken and
adopted by a unanimous vote Of the
board:
Resolved, That after the first day OF
February, 1905, until further notice, fu.
neral directors arc instructed to so ar.
range the conduct of their funerals tha,
pall-bears with the casket containg the
remains shall enter the northwest OIL
High street entrance, instead of the
basement entrance of the church. This
arrangement will commend itself to tn,
public from the standpoint of convent
ence and safety and will cause no awk
wariness if the following suggestion.
are complied with.
First-The hearse and pail bearers
carriages only to be driven to the High
street entrance.
Second-Undertaker TO provide suit
able rolling CARRIER to convey caske
through said entrance to it's proper place
Third Carriages OF mourners ant
friends to remain on Eureka street a:
usual.
Fourth-Mourners and friends pre-
ceded by the minister to pass up mair
aisle, meeting the casket at the altar.
However, the resolution alone is i'm
perative and necessary, the details ma,
be left to the judgment OF the funera
director and friends.
