OLD LIGHT ST. BRIDGE AFIRE
Abandoned Span Was Being Torn Down
By Wreckers.

Fire broke out last night on the old
Light street bridge. which Is now be-
ing torn down after giving way to the
new Hanover street structure, con-
Meeting Anne Arundel county with
Baltimore city. Flames were seen
coming from pile of drying wood
about 1890 o'clock by Capt. John A.
Johnson. Waterman on the bridge.
He turned in an alarm, but the en-
CINE companies which responded were
unable to extinguish the flames, as
the bad condition of the bridge forbade
their approach to the scene. The
firebost Deluge was summoned and
succeeded in getting the flames under
control
No move was made 20 put ON any
water for quarter of an hour, as only
the generation-old wood was burning
and the saving would not have justi-
fed the use of the steam necessary to
run the pumps. The old engineronm
house on the centre bulkhead of the
bridge and the house of Keeper john
son, on the south bulkheai, were not
harmed by the flying bits of wood and
sparks which passed over them.
Keeper Johnson was worried, how
ever, as only yesterday ne finished
paying for the house and had made ar.
rangements to move it to shore. 1t is
a two-story six room dwelling.
1t is thought that the fire was
caused by sparks from acetylene
torches which workmen of the Ameri-
can Wrecking Company were using
yesterday to pierce the iron girders
under the structure All of the wood
burned was condemned, SO the loss
sustained was negligible

the committee
Secretary Francis c. Brading
visited the United States in 1867
and helped establish the American
Branch.
Many striking stories cluster
around the distribution of the Tesla
ments and Gospels in the trenches OF
Europes battle fields Mr.. BradiAg
told of a young man on the firing line
who carried a small Bible in his
breast pocket bullet penetrated
the book as far as the Psalms, the
point of the bullet stopping at the
seventh verse of the Ninety-frst
Psalm: "A thousand shall fall at thy
side. and ten thousand at thy right
hand: but it shall not come nigh
thee"
Another soldier in the Devons
writes: Il got Testament at Havre.
A bullet went into it as far as He
brews 1925: See that We refuse not
him that speaketh. For if they es-
capped not who refused him that
spake on earth, much more shall not
we escape. if we turn away from him
| that speaketh from heaven. Goa
spoke TO me through it, and / got saw
ed i'm the trench an hour afterwards.
Not a few soldiers lives have
been thus saved, so much so that
many of the boys beg for copy for
no other reason than that il may
possibly preserve" their lives. This
desire has served as a punch to aid
distribution. Once in the boy
pocket the Testament is read. One
soldier has written: ITO be exposed
| to shell fire for five minutes makes
| the most careless think on eternal
| things
Secretary Brading writes:
| "One bright ray of light amid the
| gloom and horror of the war, is the
| great desire on the part of so many
to possess a copy of the Word OF
Cod
| The vastly increased reading of the
| Scriptures is making inroads upon
| the avowed atheism of France.
From a worker in Serbia this mes
| sage was received: THE Serbian
Books have been most touchingly vel
coined by the people here. who seem
i to really value the Word of Life.
/ Never have / seen such a sight, some
kissed the book over and over again
/ and many voices came at the same
time saying, Good, good, thank YOU
/ In Roumania, unique and far-reach-
| ing opportunities are presented by
/ the the fact that a Princess of the
| Royal House is not only subscriber
to the Scripture Gift Mission, but Her
j ROYAL Highness takes a most active
} personal interest in the work of dis
! tributing the Gospels among the
in her own country. Over 100000
/ Gospels have been distributed and
another 100000 are in the press.
i A Russian worker writes: Il
4 never knew so many and such long
/ ing appeals for Gospels In no week
i of my life have | had so many peo-
I pie thank me for the Scriptures given
/ and in no week have ! had so many
i come and ask me for Scriptures
i Russian soldiers in our camps have
] been awakened to the value of the
| Bible by the marked change in the
| lives of their comrades who possessed

lives being revolutionized by simply
reading the books, apart from any
