he and the six diocesan bishops of his province
are obliged TO be in London while Parliament
IS sitting. to attend to their duties m the House
Of Lords, and are therefore rarely able to put in
an appearance at the northern convOcation, 1t
follows that save where purely local matters
are concerned the real business of the Church
Is transacted by the convocation in London, the
only one that need engage our attention.
This London cOnvOcation meets IN response to
a summons of the sovereign. issued through the
Archbishop Of Canterbury, and holds its ses-

Thames. It IS divided into an upper and lower
house, the former consisting Of the Prirnate of
All England and the twenty -four diocesan
bishops of his province while the other is COM

the enactments OF the convocation cannot be

RECOMMENDS SPECIAL SERVICE.

Justly regarded as expressing the views Of
the epIscopacy and clergy Of the Church of
England the convocatiCn at Lambeth has now
presented through the Prmate to the King
for his appreciation what is described az IAN
alternate burial service Of great beauty and
simplicity" for use at the burial OF the inten-
tionalIy seIf-sIatn Where the suicide has been
caused by insanity the Church of England, like
its parent Church Of Rome. has in more mod
ern times always permitted the ordinary burial
service 10 be used. But IN cases where the
sef-destruction has been established as DELHI
crate and Intentional, the existing uturgies
have been so obviously inappropriate and out
OF place that they have been omitted and
Christian burial has been refused by the clergy.
The new alternative commitment service
drawn UP BY the Archbishop and bishops and
clergy Of the convoCation OF Lambeth. and in
dOrsed matter OF form by the convocation
Of York is for use at the burial Of intentional
suicides, so that their relatives may have the
consolation Of feeling that they have received
Christian burial; and after receiving the sane

Gil, be added to the official liturgy OF the
Church OF England
OF course there are some who may argue
that the concession OF Christian burial TO sui
cides is calculated TO increase their number
by the removal Of a deterrent TO the crime. But
il may be questioned whether the refusal OF
religious rites TO the self-slain has accom-
plished anything beyond e1ubittering the sur
viving relatives and friends Of the suicide
against Church that carried it's unforgiving
ness beyoI death. Certainly It cannot be said
to have served as a deterrent. for the number
of suicides is greater than ever. Self-destruc-
ton seems indeed to march hand IN hand with
civilization, and the more people advance in
the realms OF progress and enlightenment the
greater is the tendency which they show to
take their own lives. II was only the other
day that the cable dispatches were describing
