dangers. Yet at the end of year the
figures show that s75,000000 has been
expended in the work of reconstruction,
$50, 900. 900 having been paid for labor
alone. Fifty thousand men are at
work where before the fire twenty
thousand only were employed. Tenn
porary construction has ceased, and
permits for first-class fireproof struc-
lures to cost over s50,000,000 have
been granted. Two hundred miles of
street railways rendered useless by
the earthquake are now in running

A great monument is to be erected in
Geneva to John Calvin, the 400th ami
versary of whose birth will occur in
1908 and movement is on foot to raise
$4,000 in this country toward the fund
for the monument. No doubt this
movement will have a cordial response
in New England whose religious life
and thought owes as much to Calvin
as to any one man of modern times.
Probably there are few living persons
who hold the views of Calvin. yet
nevertheless his powerful mind put its
stamp on New England character and
his influence is to be felt today
wherever throughout the land the spirit
of New England has spread. Calvinism
produced great fighters and it will be a
master sculptor who can put the spirit
of it into that proposed statute at
Geneva.
