To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Nor does it ever encourage us to forget the present and the actual, or liberate the intense feeling of the moment into any hazy imagin- ation of the joys of heaven. It is not the time for us to be forgetting this world in unpractical speculations about the next: the Church will not so trifle with a great occasion of moral and spiritual influence, so endanger the moment of attention which the presence of the dead has won for her in the hearts of the living. The grave cannot praise God, death can...not celebrate Him : the practical eflfect of the Service must be for the living, for those who stand in silent, humble readiness to hear, in the controlling solemnity of that farewell: this is a time for the plain speaking of simple truth : and it is spoken, in the directness of the ninetieth Psalm and the relentless pressure of St. Paul's dilemma : — " The days of our age are threescore years and ten ; and though men be so strong that they come to fourscore years, yet is their strength then but labour and sorrow ; so soon passeth it away, and we are gone.
