BICYCLING on SUNDAY.
WHAT THE REV. DR. JAMES W. GILLAND THINKS
ON THE SUBJECT.

WHAT THE REV. DIR. JAMES W. GILIAND THINKS
ON THE SUBJECT
The Rev Dr. James w. Gilland, pastor Of the
Westminster Presbyterian Church. Clnton-st. and
First Place, is Of the first ministers to en-
courage bicycle riding as an institution on the
Church. The Westminster Church Bicycle Club
is an organization composed Of the young people
Of his congregation. and is one of the best-known
clubs in South Brooklyn The members of the
club are greatly interested In wheeling and would
have competed in the century runs had It not been
that many Of the contests are held on Sunday.
Dr. Gfand was formerly moderator of the Brook
lyn Presbytery. He Is interested in the welfare
Of the young people Of his church. and has al
ways sanctioned anything that would tend to
their Improvement and happiness At the same
time he maintains that Sunday should be observed
When asked yesterday if he approved of bicycle
riding on Sunday, he replied that It was a ques-
ton that brings up the whole subject Of Sunday
observance
For my part" ne said, II don't why the BIZ
cycle should be singled out any more than many
other subjects which have been permitted for years.
/ don't think the bicycle is bad some other
things that exist In modern city life. So far as
church worship is concerned 1t does not interfere
s 5nrs Of aS be-
among the kind OF business enterprise and form Of
recreation that has modified considerably the senti
ments on the entire question of Sabbath .obsery
ance. AS to Sunday bicycle riding, one Is brought
with the use Of Sunday as day of rest and recre-
alton: A great many look at Sunday as a day of
worship: That is. as far as your judgment on the
your judgment OF what Sunday s for. The main
idea Of Sunday from tho Biblical standpoint is
in order 10 worship and any of Sunday that
would interfere with its Biblical idea or would tend
TO destroy that idea in the respect Of The commun-
3ty would be wrong according 10 that view of the
question. II anything does not interfere with that
idea OF the day II Is allowable. Bicycle riding will
be wrong II II deprves individual OF privileges
for which the day Instituted Sunday is not
day OF prohibitions but day Of privileges and op-
portunties along higher lines than the individual
serves on other days of the week Physical rest
Is only one Of the things included in the Sabbath,
moral and religious ends are also in view
Or. Giland said that he approved riding BIZ
cycle to church. the same as any other means OF
going to church. He also said that he should be
glad to have the church provide accommodations

work done by the Lee Athletic Club and Langdon

times in the game. and at the opening OF the last
inning It looked II the Crescents were 20 lose the
game, but they warmed up to the work and won by
a score of i3 to L. Emile Keedwcl umpired the
game 10 the satisfaction of both clubs. F. W.
Rundle the manager Of the Crescent Club Is In the
employ OF the Century Company. as are also several
Others OF It's members.

A farmer came into n grocery store the other day

The following official notice was sent 10 all the

This IS virtually voice from the people. Dis
satisfaction Is manifest on all sides that thc
Anti Machine delegates from Kings County
should hesitate a minute in coming out sauarely
on the side Of the people and against the losses
Unless a stand Is taken during the next Few
days 1t is putting 1t mildly 70 say that rods VIII

whose hearts are for Mckinley, but whose
dreams are troubled by frantic professions OF

whenever they grapple with their consciences

shape OF a resolution pledging the support or

material in what form the matter comes up, so

Notices similar to that sent TO George II.

Ernest J. Kalienbach. the delegates from the

Mayor can hesitate much longer as to his choice
New-York tribune., 1896-05-05

at ST Louis Every Republican in the Mayors
district knows that the State machine repud-
ated it's promises TO Mayor Wurster with refer
ence 10 Brooklyn legislation. That the sl,ua-
tlon is thoroughly understood Is made plain
by the vote OF the Congress District Executive
Committee In adopting the resolution.
IL was learned yesterday. and X can be asserted
without fear Of successful contradiction that the
following are out and out for Major Mckinley on
the nrs, ballot at 81. Louis: Walter y. After

Id. and Ernest J Kaltenbach. OF the Nth These

When Chairman Roberts was asked laet night
by Il Tribune reporter how he was going 10 vote ut
