In recent years some very big expcnd-
itures have been undertaken by the
bridge house estates committee. They
include the widening of London bridge at
cost of about ElO0.OO0-over EIU0 to
the incll-and the widening of Blackfrtars
bridge at a cost of s13O,OO0.
Naturally. great deal OF money has
to be paid out each year for repairs. and
some idea OF this may be given by re-

bridge about couple of years ago.

Miles of scaffolding were erected to make
the work safe bur at the same time the

surance. Besides the illumination given
by carbide lamps of $500 candlepower,
about five hundredweight of candles were
used nightly by the workmen.

Some Facts About the Structures

From London Answers.

From London Answers
London Is proba bly, TO have a new bridge
before long. and the cost to the ratepay
ers will be nil. A gift representing an
expenditure of we'll over a million and a
half is something worth looking into.
The Bridge House estates committee Of
the corporation of London possesses valu-
able estates. which bring in an annual in

care is to see that sufficient bridge accom-
tween the north and south banks of the

ratepayers.
Wooden Old England.
Until about the middle of the eighteenth
century London bridge was the only one
crossing the Thames III London, and il
was for its administration that the Bridge
House trust was founded. Apparently.
the origin Of the trust dates back 10 the
old wooden bridges which preceded the
stone bridge known as .-Old London
bridge commenced in 1875.
Among the many sources from which
the funds originally came We're donations
from various public-spirited ladies and
gentlemen at various times. a tax inn
posed by William Rufus, tax on wool
imposed by Henry (which gave rise to
the tradition that London bridge rested
on woolpacks-and tolls sanctioned by
Edward /.
'.Old London bridge took about thirty
three years to build. In l31S the rents
from the houses on 1t amounted to G160
Is. which was considered goodly sum
in those days.
One old London bridge was pulled down
by Olaf Of Norway by the simple process
of attaching his vessels 10 the piles and
pulling the whole structure over a later
bridge was swept away by flood and
the next was almost completely destroyed
by fire.

Calvin's System Building.

In speaking of Calvin'S syst tenn -bNilding
IL must be observed that what dfferen-
tiateS his theology from philosophy is
the fact that the source from which he
drew his material not the munitions
ar eNcogitationS of his own consciousness,
but the teachings of what he devoutiy ac-
ceDted as the inspired Word of God. Ii
lie posted his authority by faith that
faith he held. was not without or against
reason: and in any case 1t gave him the
authority he must have. Professionalism,

with repudiating infalible pope and
substituting for il u less TO be preferred

charge is based upon misrepresentation.
Infallibility is strictly practicable of a

prcme yeneraton. John Calvin found
his data in the book, and the prodigious
powers of his synthetic genius arranged
into a logical and systematic order the
truths which Scripture furnished him. In
the technique of this system the legal
training of his mind Is evident both III
the positive structure and in the keen
dialectic with which he anticipates and
refutes opposing views.
Calvins view of everything else took
it's cue from his view of God, and that
view was based upon certain leSaiistic
conceptions. The integrity OF God gov

its vindication upon His righteous Juds-
