Havana to Cienf'Iegos, Cuba, to rein-

DETROIT, Mich, Sept. 30.-Bishop
Charles D. Williams of the Episcopal
diocese of Michigan in an address to
Y. M. c. A. members here today on
1.-THE Bible and the Word Of Cod de-
clared that the Bible was not the word
of God and that the teachings to the
contrary are the most prolific source
of unbelief the church has to contend
with.
The bishop said:
Nowhere does the Bible declare it.
self the word of God. Yet we are told
we must take it in it's entirety. It is a
venerable book and visitors are re-
quested not to touch 1t. AS it is the
direct word of God there is no other.
Take the young mon just out of
college He reads Genesis and finds
impossible geology, astronomy and
ethnology. His teacher, when ques-
toned says: M
Manipulate it until 1t fits your
conscience If too honest to handle the
word Of God craftily the young mar
| gives up the Bible. He refuses to stul.
| tify his reason.
THE Bible needs no defense; all Il
needs is a square DEAL There are those
who read it devoutly, intelligentIy.
But l never say the Bible is the
word of God. To those who accept the
entire book as the literal word of God
would point out that it is nowhere SO
stated. Christ tore asunder the Old
Testament precepts, the law of Moses,
and furnished new ones. Where the
Old Testament directed men to hate
their enemies, the teachings Of Christ
were to love your enemies.
I'VE must learn from the SCRIPTURES
itself how to read the Scriptures. Some
Of us use it as a heather does his
book"

PENSION ROLL IS
DECREASING FAST
MANY OLD SOLDIERS DIE DUR
ING THE YEAR
Annual Report of Commissioner War
ner Brings Out Interesting Facts
Concerning Three
Wars
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 3O.-The net
decrease in the pension roll of the
United States for the fiscal year end
ing June last amounted to $12,470, the
largest decrease ever known in the his
tory of the country.
These facts are brought out in the
annual report of Commissioner of PEN
sions Warner, which has just been
completed. The report of the commits
Sioner, expresses the opinion that there
will be still more marked decrease
during the. prest year. s sss
During the last year there were add
ed to the rolls 33. $50 new pensioners
and 1145 restorattons and renewals.
making total addition of 34,94T. The
total number of pensioners on the roll
during the year was 1,033,415.
The number of pensons dropped from
the roll during the year was 47,444,
leaving the number Of pensioners on
June 80, 1906, 95S,971.
Death was the principal cause Of the
decrease In the last year. the number
of names dropped on that account be-
ing 43,3O0. OF these 29,208 were those
of survivors of the civil war, leaving
666, ,445 survivors of that war still on
the roll. There are still four PEN
sioners on account of the revolution
ary war, one a widow and the other
three daughters; $50. all widows, on ac-
count of the war with Spain, and 11,472
on account of the Mexican war OF
the Mexican war pensions 3943 are to
survivors.
The commissioner calls attention to
the fact that while there has been a
material decrease in the number of
pensioners, the annual value of the roll
is nearly as large as it was last year.
This arises from the fact that the rat
ings of many invalid pensions are con-
stantly increasing, the average increase
last year being $1.22.
The report shows that in the entire
history of the country the total ex-
penditure on account of pensions has
been $S,45S,S60, ,311, of which only $780,
445,444 had been paid prior to the be-
ginning Of the civil war. OF the total
SO, 259, 1876, 306 was on account of the
civil war; The total payment of pen
sions on account of the Spanish war
reaches SIS, 43S, ,555 up to date.
