the attaches Of the park they have made them
selves a nuisance, Park Commissioner Kennedy has
issued an order that packages can be taken into
the park Sundays. Coming from so far, the
East Siders invariably bring luncheon for the whole
family. The Commissioners idea is that IL they
are not allowed to bring the food into the park
they VIII not visit IL at all
OF course. any package might contain luncheon,
so any one with any sort OF a package is barred.

has been that many persons who have been In the

Number of East Side Residents.

About two hundred persons attended the nrsC
open air service held on the spacious grounds or
the Cathedral Of ST. John the Divine, on Morn
ingside Heights, yesterday afternoon
Several years ago the question came up as to
what good the cathedral would be to the people
of the lower East Side who were not able to
pay carfare to attend services. Bishop Potter
took up the matter and has provided funds for
their transportation, and meetings VIII De heio
every Sunday throughout the summer.
large part OF the audience yesterday was
composed Of members of the Epiphany Chapel
Sunday school. Stanton-st. They were taken
up on trolley cars under the guidance OF the
members OF the Brotherhood of st. Andrew and
the rector of their church. DIR. W. Gilliss.
Owing to the rain in the early part of the after
noon, many were kept from attending.
Archdeacon Nelson conducted the services and
delivered a short sermon. The exercises were
held directly in front of the Synod Hall. and the
audience was seated on the steps OF this build
ing. Archdeacon Nelson took for his text
Psalms Xxi 2: Lead me to the rock that Is
higher than t. and spoke in part as follows:
1t is important that the body have fresh air
well as the soul 1t mas been Bishop Potters pet
pass for the peoples enjoyment as well as
the advantage Of the work of the different peoples
together We hope to make the cathedral
spiritual home for all classes. and make any one
who wishes welcome.
For several years large part of the grounds
has been covered with rock brought from the
excavation for the new cathedral, and in the last
three months Bishop Potter has been having this
removed and built into fence surrounding the
grounds. After this rock is entirely removed
the place will make an ideal recreation ground.
