1S76. ] FUNERAL REFORM. 429 mission said, " I quite agree with you ; I like the Lot-and- Abraham principle. " He had, in fact, another scheme in view as a remedial measure in the last resort, and one which promised certain collateral advantages. He said — • If the Church is not allowed to possess her burial-grounds in peace, it may become necessary to provide for ourselves new grounds, to be held in trust. Funeral reform will then prepare the way for a complete system of Church sepulture. We ne...ed reform of everything which separates rich from poor in that ordinance which levels all distinctions. On a closely^ related subject, the revision of the Burial Service, he took a very liberal view ; speaking in Convoca- tion as follows : — The question before us is the alteration in the Burial Service, so as to abate the scandal of reading words, suitable for saints who have died a Christian death, over notorious sinners. The Bishop of Gloucester has proposed to insert in the rubric a refusal of such honourable burial, not merely to " the excom- municate, " but also to "those who have died in the commission of any grievous crime, or who have been open and notorious evil-livers, and of whose repentance no man is able to testify.
