THE FUNERAL FLOWER CONTEN- 

 TION. 



The Rev. Dr. Mark A. Matthews, 

 moderator of the Presbyterian gen- 

 eral assembly, has joined hands with 

 the Roman Catholic priest who lately 

 went on record as opposed to flowers 

 at funerals. In an address Mr. Mat- 

 thews, said: — 



"My desire is to banish all flowers from 

 funer;ils. What is tlie use of blossoms on 

 a coffin? Christianity ouglit to educate 

 this custom out of the ideas and ideals of 

 Americans. Taije the ruses and put them, 

 not on a coffin, but in the lapel of the 

 laboring man on his way to worli. Send 

 tlie lilies into the wortishop, into the sweat 

 shnp, there to briffliten lives." 



This idea of paying tribute to the 

 living instead of the dead is gaining 

 converts every day. The ostentation 

 attending funeral services is gradually

growing less even among the class of 

 people financially able to make a dis- 

 play. Instead of putting up preten- 

 tious monuments to commemorate the 

 dead many people give money to un- 

 dertakings in memory of the dead 

 which shall benefit the living. 



But in this matter of fiower giving 

 the clergyman takes it for granted that 

 the blossoms are wasted because the 

 dead cannot appreciate their beauty. 

 This is not true. As a matter of fact 

 it is the living grief-stricken people 

 who are considered as much as the 

 memory of the departed. The fra- 

 grance and beauty of the flowers are a 

 source of comfort and pleasure to the 

 sorrowing ones and tend to lighten the 

 burdens of those left to mourn. The 

 flower custom may be abused as when 

 the sender cannot afford the tribute, 

 but when reason is used flowers may 

 be a potent help in time of trouble.—
