The return path extends to the lower Piazza ana

a bicycle pathway also.
The dusty ride across the tracks on the lower
pIaza IL TO be obviated by the further extension OF
the cycle path twenty-five TO thirty feet wide around
the plaza This will do away with the danger OF
being run down by carriages.
The part OF the path that Is on the west size OF
the Plaza was In yesterday. This path instead
OF connecting with the main entrance to the PARK,
has an entrance Of Its own just west or the west
stone shelter. 1t connects with the west drive OF
the Park Benches have already been established
at this bicycle entrance and bicycle racks are TO be

esta biished for the OF the wheeling fraternity
The entrance Is, however. much too narrow, and
ten or twelve feet more Of the wooden ras-up In
fact TO the first treeshould be torn down In order
to widen the approach. 80 .
The sidewalk in Ocean-ave. and the sidewalk that
skirts the Park around to the Flatbush entrance by
way OF the Wlink entrance, is to be turned into
bicycle path, with crushed limestone, such as is
used In the Coney Island paths. This will give
continuous path from the main entrance to the
Park to Coney Island.

A TEST OF RELIGIOUS LIFE.
THE REV. DR.. CARSON SAYS IT IS ONES FEEL
ING TOWARD EVIL.


The Rev. J. +. Carson spoke yesterday morning
In the Central Presbyterian Church from the text
Let love be without Discrimination. A5hor that
which is evil; cleave to that which is good He
said in substance:
"A word aptly chosen is an argument. In the
text three picturesque words, love. abhor
cieave. These words appeal to the imagination
Around each there cluster associations The apostle
is logical In following the first exhortation Of the
text with the second. Every attitude Of man
has in It a tendency. The man who honestly de-
tests insincerty in love will be sincere in the ex-
pressions of his affection. and will be led to an
adherence OF all evil. The word abhor Is
strong. picturesque word. Here is a test for our
religious life-It Is our feeling toward evil. Some
one has represented Paul truly in describing him as
a guide blazing path through the tangled morals
and the wilderness of this worlds sins. AS a
guide he lett marks behind him that those who
followed him might be able to determine if they
were on the right road and what were the steps
how do we regard eva? Does the presence OF
ruption In the community vex and worry us? Is
the practice OF dishonesty and fraud in daily life
cause of anxiety and distress to us? Are sensi-
tive toward sin In our own hearts?
THE test Is not your public attitude toward pub
lie evils but your feeling toward sin In yourself
All this Is well, but it does 90 far enough
Negative morality Is not sufficient. Hence the
apostle urges you to cleave to that which is good
to the bone and the bone cleaves to the socket
Between you and that which Is good let there be
living relation so that you cannot be separated

those who stand in the position of
Capitalists out of debt, or salaried Off

his salary is fixed, the gold standard
