A Timely Warning.

Editor OF The Times Dispatch:
Slr,-The distressing accident to Miss
James yesterday afternoon prompts me
TO sound a note OF warning to the pa
rents who allow their little daughters 50
much liberty In horseback riding, which
Is 10 be noted every afternoon In tho
country around this city. 1t Is not nm
uncommon thing to see three or four
young girls careering over our fields
often without escort. and often at q gait
absolutely reckless. / have taken partic-
uar pains to note the saddle in which
these young girls ride, and l find that
they IRE, with rare exceptions. not equip
ped with safety stirrups, stirrup that
will release tho riders foot should she
get fall. Then, too, the horse Is rarely
properly bitted. thus making 1t difficult
to control the horse should his bad man
ners come Into play.
Most young riders think the chief pleas
urn to be gotten out OF an afternoons
ride Is to race with each other. where
a good piece OF road tempts them for
gallup. This practice Is most reprehen-
sible. After long experience In riding and
handling horses. have come to the con-
cl,sion that It Is never safe to trust
them, Certainly when horse Is going
at q high rate OF speed tho elements OF
danger to the rider are greatly In
creased. It Is not an expensive thing to
iusted chain and curb. In horses
mouth with strong plable relns. FREQ
from cracks Safety stirrups should be
on all saddles and the saddle glrts should
be kent In the very best condition The
webbing from which the saddle girts
IRE made. rot quickly and no warning Is
given to the rider until they break un-
der tho horse. vi
10 not mean for minute to deny
Tho Young folks the pleasure OF horse
back riding. as do not believe there
is anv exercise so wholesome for the
mind and body. but It is serious re-
snonsibility for the parents to see that
their children are properly mounted and
equipped for the sport and accompanied
by competent escort.

The Resurrection.

Editor Of The Times Dispatch:
sIr:-My attention was first called to
this subject by a paragraph IN Inc
Times Dispatch shortly after Easter IN
regard to the views of Rev. pr. Evans
md DR.. Cecil, and also the article later
on of Mr.. B. M Parham critic!sing the
views of DR. Evans. This Is subject
that demands more than ordinary
thought and study and no one ought to
write on it who has not given 1t all the
time and study 1t requires We all be-
lIeyo In a resurrection Of some kind, but
not of that putrld and loathsome body
that goes to the grave. DR., Evans vie"
Is the right one, and J VIII endeavor ~
prove II in this article In way IN which
ms far as / know, no writer has ever
peresnted It. Nothing IN nature thar
dies absolutely can live again, and mans
body Is no exception to the rule, Thou
sowest not that body that shall be. +"
And again, THAT which thou sowest IS
not qulckened except IT do" but not
absolutely, only In the sense that u
ceases to exist In its present and origl-
higher and spiritual life without ceasing
to exist In It's present form.
MANS body dies and You see 1t no moro
forever. The grain Of corn dies. or
ceases to exist as such. and you see 1t

But the difference between the grain
of corn and all the lower forms or life
and mans Is, that they transmit their
life principle to the higher form before
they cease to exist But mans body
transmits Its life through the medium Of
tho soul to the spiritual being after It
ceases to exist as natural BODY. me
reason for this difference which Is that
