Not here can we feel ourselves immortal, where the very altars in these chapels of horrible consecration are heaps of human bones. Yet let us give the cemetery the praise that it deserves. There is no disagreeable scent, such as might have been expected from the decay of so many holy persons, in whatever odor of sanctity they may have taken their departure.
S.N. Watson, George Munroe, Charles Carroll, J. Ridgeley Carter, H. Herman Harges but I never received from any the same sense of consecration, of absolute selflessness as I did from Mr. Holman-Black.
Some six months before she died she wrote thus about this hymn, "I had a great time early this morning, renewing the never-regretted consecration.

Our priestly service must be rendered in 'holiness and righteousness, in consecration to God and discharge of all obligations; and it is to be no interrupted or occasional service, like Zacharias's, which occupied but two short weeks in the year, and might never again lead him within the sanctuary, but is to fill with reverent activity and thankful sacrifice all our days.
