TWO BURIAL SERVICES
*• ONE FOR THE GOOD. ONE FOR THE BAD.” LONDON. June 11. It was said in the Lower House of Convocation at Westminster, last month, that there were occasions when the service lor the burial of the dead was unsuitable. The Archdeacon of Leicester moved a resolution recommending the provision ot an additional order. Canon Durst moved an amendment referring the subject to the revision committee.. If an alternative order were adopted, he said, one service would soon be looked on ,as foi; the good and ihe other for the bad. The-Dean of Westminster said that such expressions as that thanking God “for His groat merry in taking to-Himself the soul of the depiut,-:i” sometimes “grated.” The resolution was referred back to the committee. The first rubric in the Order for the Burial 5 .0 f ilia Dead was altered to read : - “Here is to be noted that the office ensuing is not to be used for any that die unbaptised, or or in the commission of any grievous crime, or that have died'by their own act, not being of unsound mind.”
