THE SWEATER.
A Curious Funeral Rite Which Obtained
In Wales.

A Curious Funeral Rite Which Obtained
In Wales.
The principally of Wales has within
living memory possessed an official
known as the .sin-eater." 1t was the
practice for a relative-usually a WON
an-to put on the breast of a deceased
person a quantity of bread and cheese
and beer, and the sin-eater was sent for
to consume them and to pronounce the
everlasting rest of the departed. TWAS
believed that in doing this he absolutely
ate and appropriated to himself the sins
symbolized by the viands, and thereby
prevented their disturbing the repose of
the sinner who had committed them.
Such an arrangement would obviously
leave nothing to be desired on the one
side, but how it worked on the other we
are not told. What was supposed to be
the condition of this spiritual under
taker after the ceremony was con-
Guided? Did his appropriation" of the
lead mans sins imply sort of moral as
similation of them, answering to his
physical assimilation of the bread and
cheese? The question would obviously
be one of some importance to sin-eater
in large practice. II the responsible
ties of his profession were as great as
ties of his profession were as great as
hypothesis, he would need to retire
from it early, and to devote a consider
liable portion of his closing years to re-
pentance and good works.
| Again, it is natural to ask what hap.
pened at the decease of popular OF
fashionable" sin-eater. Would any.
one among his professional brethren
undertake to eat his sins, even in the
first flush of satisfaction produced b,
stepping into his shoes? If SO, then
indeed, has the epithet of gallant
,een rightly bestowed upon little Wales
1t is as though one doctor succeeding te
another's practice should consent to as
