THE PRESENT AND THE FUTURE LIFE.

To the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir: A recent communication in The Tribune from
Principal d. II. Chase of Mddleown, Conn., con-
tans notable omission in his argument in favor of
the resurrection Of Christ He omits any reference
10 the parallel fact that many that were dead at
that time also arose and appeared unto many and
that denial OF such an occurrence was confined to
the few who found the event incompatible with their
wishes In future ages the rays may seem In
credible and impossible but the universal consent Of
the present generation the fact Of their existence
will persuade the most sceptical. Mr.. Chase must
agree that the possibility Of the dead coming TO life
again was no more difficult OF belief than that one
in dead faint or swoon could recover, In that age
and in that stage OF mental development. Oinittlng
this argument Of general consent from the discus
sion Of the resurrection Is like gunner declining to
use the best shot in the locker Spectators might
think he was not IN earnest in his contention.
