THERE IS NO DEPARTMENT OF THE CHRISTIAN ADVOCATE THAT IS READ WITH GREATER INTEREST THAN THAT CONTAINING SKETCHES OF THE LIVES AND LAST MOMENTS OF THOSE HAVE WE KNOWN AND LOVED, NOR IS THERE ANY WORK BELONGING TO THE DUTIES OF AN EDITOR OF SO DELICATE A NATURE AS THE MANAGEMENT OF THIS DEPARTMENT SO AS TO MAKE IT PERFECTLY SATISFACTORY TO ALL WHO MAY BE CONCERNED.
LONG OBITUARIES ARE BUT SELDOM READ BEYOND THE CIRCLE OF RELATIVES AND FRIENDS, AND THE EFFECT WHICH WOULD OTHERWISE BE PRODUCED UPON THE GENERAL READER IS LOST, WHILE ANY ABRIDGMENT OF THEM OFTEN PRODUCES DISSATISFACTION.
