declares that no human being is damned
because of Gods desire or because of en-
tailed sin, but only because of his personal
and deliberate rejection of the means OF
salvation. That implies free will. practical
~ to the full Arminian extent. In the
words of the declaratory statement adopted
by the assembly, God has provided a sal
walton sufficient for all and freely offered
to all; men are fully responsible for their
treatment of Gods gracious offer; His de-
cree hinders no man from accepting that
offer and no man is condemned except on
the ground of SIM" Subtle metaphysicians
may draw hair-splitting distinctions be-
tween that and the doctrine of free will
but to the lay mind such will appear to be
distinctions without differences. Concern
ing those who die in infancy, the declara-
ton specifically repudiates the theory that
they are lost, and declares a confident be-
lief that they are saved
These were the two great points of con-
troversy. They are now both settled in ac-
cordance with the contentious of those
who have so long and earnestly favored
revision of the creed, or at least revision
of it's Interpretation. The result will be.
of course. to end the controversy That 1t
will have any notable effect upon Presby-
terrain preaching and teaching is scarcely
to be expected, for the reason that the vast
majority of clergymen of that church long
ago discounted these changes. They have
not been preaching infant damnation. They
have not been preaching that God desires
the death Of a sinner, or that He has In
exorably predeStined specific individuals to
damnation. The teaching of the church has
long been practically Identical with the en-
lightened enactments of the general assem-
bly, last week Accordingly, the action OF
the assembly was not revolutionary 1t
was at most evolutionary: or, still less,
merely the formal recognition of an eyoI,,-
ton already effected.

prepared to become his successors. The
report of the past years work. read by DIR.

''To shift the line Of the proposed road
further to the northwest, between Ontario
avenue and Clydesdale place, would be an
exceeding pity, because it would involve
the filing on and destruction of the spur
of land now within the Geological Park and
very attractive and desirable II however.
there should prove to be no possibility of
bringing about such a change as we pro-
pose, If Clydesdale place must be construct
ed as now planned, we should recommend
that, at whatever immediate sacrifice of
this margin of park scenery. some through
line of road should be provided for.
"As Mr.. Olmsted mentioned to YOU when
he was last In washington. the subdivision
of Adams Mill road into two roadways each
twenty feet in Width while a very ineenf-
Gus way to meet the difficulty presented by
the present layout of Clydesdale place
Adams Mill road and the Zoological Park.
does not seem a good permanent arrange
ment to adopt. because twenty-foot road
way is too narrow to provide both for
carriages and wagons stopping against the
curb and for such an amount of through
driving as is likely to come by Adams Mil
road into the park. A coal wagon backed
up against the curb would SO far obstr,lct
the roadway as to make 1t impossible for
more than one carriage or wagon to get
by at time. Should you find it impossi-
BILE to bring about any Improvement in the
present layout of the streets. we should
say that such an arrangement of sidewalk
and roadway as Is shown on the study
numbered 1872 might answer the purpose.
This could be extended to connect with a
future street on the line shown on plan
No. 1914 but 1t should be considered only
a temporary expedient-one which is likely
to answer perhaps for fifteen or twenty
years.

BOUNDARY 'srnnrr SUGGESTED
FOR East EDGE OF PARK.
It's Value as Site for Residences Point
ed out-Acquisition Of Land
Necessary.
BY OLMsTED BROTHERS


sioner. today received an interesting letter
from Olmsted Brothers of Brookline, Mass.
the landscape architects, regarding the i'm
provement of the street entrances to the
National Geological Park and the laying
out of boundary street along the eastern
edge of the park. 1t is. proposed that this
roadway should form a new entrance to
the zoo. first by driving along the eastern
bluffs and obtaining view of the entire
Enclosure, and then by gradual descent
reaching the Kenesaw avenue entrance,
which is now being graded, and which
leads over the concrete bridge at the sea
lion ponds. The value of this boundary
road as site for residences is pointed out.
The plan involves the dedication of guam
uty or land to the park and the District
and for this reason may be difficult of
adoption. If the landowners coincide with
the Messrs- Olmsted, however. as to the
value of the Improvement the matter Of
dedication may be arranged. Mr.. Frederick
Law Oimsted, jr., was a member of the
senate parking commission, and made a
study OF all the roadways about Washing
ton In their letter the architects say:
The matter of the proposed changes IN

trance to the National Geological Park

for our advice. we take the liberty of writ
ing 10 you unOfficially before making any

Park, but of the District whole, thai

some suitable plan

The Matter of Grade.

1.-The grade of the proposed street could
be made to join that of Summit road with
out excessive grading. OF course, heavy
ill would be needed in crossing the valley
Of Quarry road. The land owners on both
sides, as you doubtless know. are very anx-
ious to have Quarry DAD a sed so that the
land on either side. of it can be made avail
able for building lots Between Ontario
avenue and the Adams Mill road entrance
to the park the proposed street would run
through the land which borders the uncon-
structed Clydesdale place. By giving up
portion of Clydesdale place to the owner
in lieu of the land taken for the proposed
street and that added to the park. the
amount taken from this owner would ex-
coed the amount taken under the present
plan by 5000 square feet. {Amount taken
for street and alley under the present plan
% 700 square feet. Amount taken for the
street and park under the proposed plan.
81 500 square feet) 1t is true that the
number of lots under the arrangement
which we propose would be fewer than
could be obtained by lotting on both SIDES
of Clydesdale place, but the value of the
land on Fan important through street 'front.'
ing directly on the park would be very
much higher than on small, back street
having no through communication at all.
and we should hope that the landowner
might be induced to look favorably upon
this proposition.
"a corner is also taken out of the Zoo
logical Park, involving the destruction of
two fine oak trees. In view. however, of
the Importance of the road and the exist
ence of other fine oaks behind them we
are prepared to recommend most strongly
to Secretary Langley that he consent to
laying out the corner of the park in a
street provided the scheme as a whole can
be carried through.

Boundary Street.

We would call your attention first to our
plan of a much-to-be-desred boundal y
street extending from the Adams Mill road
entrance of the Geological Park to Kenesaw
avenue. This street was studied out b.;
the Senate park commission as basis for
its recommendation as to the precise
amount of land which ought to be added
to this southeast border of the park 10
obViate present and future difficulties. The
reasons in favor of such a road, in add
ton to the general reasons set forth in the
report of the park commission are three
fold: 1t will make more attractive and
valuable frontage for residences than this
stub ends of roads which will otherwise
project toward the park boundary; 1t will
provide desirable line of communication
along the easterly side of the park, and it
Will command a most attractive view over
the park itself ~
The difficulties in the way of such a
street are mainly those concerned with the
cost of construction. The owner of the land
between keneSaw avenue and Quarry road
stated to the park commission that he
would give athe land for such a road, and
would provide filling material for such a
road if the District would lay it out Be
tween Quarry road and the Inc of Ontario
avenue the land occupied by the proposed
street is practically unavailable for build
ing purposessfon account its steep shelly
ing condition and, it's narrowness.
