Id the year book of St.Lnke's parisb, Ypsilanti.jast issaed, the reotor of that ohnrcb, Rev. Wm, Gardarn, bas the following pertinent words regarding the attitude of the Epscopal chnroh towatds Sunday bioyole ridiug: "The churoh must catch the wheelman and wheelwoman. She pense :with the myriads all over this broad land wbo, wben the Lord's day dawns, get astride of a wheel and spend the day oing at the rate of 20 miles an hoor. It is a new problem, tbis Snnday wheeling, but the obnroh is bound to solve it. Walking, that for six thonsand years, at least, has been the natural roeans of locomotion for the human family has never presented the subtle temptation to the soit of dissipation the magie wheel does. The wheel is a new tning in more senses thau one. There can be no harm in riding a wheel on Snnday, no more harm certainly than walking. But if onr Sunday consists of riding a wheel from 'early mom to dewy eve, ' minus all cburch goiug, the harm is very great. And this is gotting to be the Snnday history of myriads of onr men. Not wheeling plus ohuroh going, bnt wheeling minus al] churoh, is becoming the Snnday devotion of too maoy men all over the land."
