NOW. 10 show that these are the last
days; and that the ministers as a class
are denying the Lord that bought them,
no longer than last March, in the city
OF New York. 4eS. ministers. in a meet
ing. declared in favor Of the evolution
theory. This Is not only so Of these
ministers. but the evolution doctrine
Is taught in all the colleges throughout
the country.
Believing in the evolution theory is
DENYING the Lord. as evolution teaches
that man did not fall II teaches that
man was not created n perfect human
being. 1t teaches that man was not
originally n human being, but that he
sprung up from protoplasm, and eyo-
iutcd until he became man, as we see
him today 1t also teaches that man
rails upward, and is becoming more
perfect. This is direct contradiction To
the scriptures. We learn from them

TO the Editor OF The Times Dispatch
Sir,-Referring to your editorial In
your issue of December 81, regarding
certain films that have properly been
suppressed in New York, allow me to
heartily commend your general re-
marks, as also your stand touching
on the teaching of sex hygiene in the
public schools.
a very trite saying is what the
heart does not know 1t does not suf-
fer" This question OF understanding
the difference in sexes should not be
forced upon a too youthful mind, and
certainly not discussed I'm public places,
where. naturally. n number of other
scholars would be present.
] am convinced that the parents are
the proper people to teach these mat
ters TO the adolescent and more stress
should be brought to bear upon tho
parents to do their duty To their chill
dren in this respect.
1t is true that youthful mind ia
highly imaginative and should be led
gently on tho subject OF sex hygiene
Please continue your good work for
the benefit and protection OF the young
people.

10 the Editor of The Times Dispatch
Sir,-We, the patients OF the Virginia
Home for 1ncurables. ask for a little
space In your valuable paper in which
to express our sincere and heartfelt
thanks to the ladies composing the
BOARD OF managers and all friends of
the home who contributed SO generous
~ to our welfare and enjoyment dur
ing the Christmas holidays.
AS has been her custom for several
years past, Mrs. Colonel John Murphy,
president OF the board of managers,
furnished our Christmas dinner, con-
sisting of turkey, with oyster dressing,
and other delicacies, which was en-
joyed by all. Some OF those who will
have to pay Il tax on their incomes did
not enjoy their Christmas dinner more
than the writer did.
On Friday evening, from to 6
o'clock. we enjoyed Christmas tree
entertainment In the sun parlor of the
home, during which several selections
of music were sung. These were inter-
spersed with pleasing recitations.
The tree itself was very pretty, hay
ing been beautifully decorated and
strung with many colored electric
lights. and fanked on either side with
an imitation fireplace and mantel, on
which were hung many fancy stockings.
These gave 1t pretty home-lke set
ting. Most OF us are approaching or
are glad to have scenes brought before
us which recall pleasing memories OF
our childhood days
Yes we had n real Santa Claus to
distribute the various gifts. He seemed
little bit embarrassed when he nrst
made his appearance. which I think
was probably due to the many beau
tiful ladies present.
Mr.. Editor, we want all the friends
of tho home. MS well as our individual
friends, to know that we deeply appre-
ciate. their thoughtfulncss and watch
care over us, and their untiring eff orts
to make the few remaining years OF
our existence as bright and pleasan. as
possible. We fully realize that 1t Is

SIT see from articles in your vaIu-
soie paper that You seem TO favor the
Iorrens system of registration Of lands
me writer is persuaded that very
low people in the State understand this
system. and the attendant costs to nut
the system in operation. The writer
Is also fully OF opinion that where IL
is understood in the country the people
are opposed to It.
Now, will you do the readers OF your
paper the favor OF informing them OF
The things generally required by this
system, and the costs attending tho
same? The writer Is persuaded. and
verify believes, that IL would cost the
landowners of Virginia over $4,000 600

the necessary worry. etc, attending the
Investigations. And this will be out

Now, j will ask you a concrete oues-
tion Say. j have a tract OF land of
fifty acres. which is worth Sc per acre.
What would be tho cost of registering
such q tract. taking rs a basis the usual
fees allowed by the statute in such

passcd?'

cess held for every tract, process

Would 1t not cost at least 20 per cent
OF the value OF such tract?
AS you advocate the measure. will
you furnish the people with the aggre-
cate expenses attaching to the regis
try OF fifty acre tract. as taken from
the record Of charges prevailing where
the system has been adopted? In tho
mean time. Will you express your opin-
Tor as to tho estimated costs OF the

writer believes is conservative at the
