MODERN DEATH CUSTOMS
VICAR’S OUTBURST BONBON, April 7. “Modern death customs are an abomination,” says the Rev. A. J> Wheeler, vicar of Thurslcy, writing in his parish magazine. "When my time comes bury me in a lidless wooden box that, anyone can make in half an hour.- In that let my people tuck me, wearing a cassock and surplice, with Bible and prayerbook and a few bedside books. And don’t lorget my hot water bottle, which lias soothed lot mo many pains. 1 have £SO saved. This in all simplicity should be distributed to those of my parishoners who are finding life’s journey hard.
