ABLE TO STAND FIRE
THE RELIGION OF GOD FROM RE- LIABLE BASE.
It Has Withstood From Time Imme- morfal, the Bitterest Attacks
 and the Crudest Inter-
 pretatiOns From Man.

-
 A forceful address on the testimony that demonstrates the truth of the Bi- ble. was made by Bishop Nelson yes- terday during the monday services at the Majestic Theatre.
 "It Is mistake to put too much stress on temperament. heredity and environment. in the part that they play in making Christians" he said. Mon should look for a more reliable basis for their religion. God would never have revealed His religion, unless 1t could stand fire.
 While religion does not necessarily stand on reason, 1t must necessarily be reasonable. The religion of Jesus Christ has withstood from time imme- morial. the bitterest attacks and tho crudest interpretation. You do not dnd counterfeit money except where there Is good money.
 '.Misinterpretations result from diff ferences In the personalities of those who are doing the interpreting and there will continue to be just as many misinterpretations as there are diner- ent personalities.
 Are the witnesses of God better than the witnesses of men? We have to look back for but moment to see that
 'In the first place we have a good record going to prove the truth of our religion. The Scriptures as Scriptures the revelations of God. stand just as strong as they ever did. Modern criti- cism does not avail in that 1t does. not have any effect, on the more important parts. The fable of Jonah may be fact or it may be fiction. It has nothing to do whatever 1t is with the truth that Jesus came to earth to save my soul and yours. The gospel of St. John, which is most attacked, is stronger than ewar.
 Besides the record. we have history to give further proof. The great his torians of the period, Pliny the young CT. and Josephus, speak of a wonder full person known as both God and man.
 "We have also the monuments. Cit izens in ages past have erected certain monuments in honor Of certain causes, as symbols of fact. Can there be bet ter monuments of fact than the Bible. baptism and the services that we have?
 9Th en. too, we have the moral effect of Christianity to demonstrate irrefut- ability. This Is one point that we make that can never be broken down. Men may doubt all other testimony but they admit this, that everywhere Is the moral effect of Christianity felt You have only to look into human expert ence. into your own lives, to see the truth of 1t. If any man Is willing to do Gods will. he will soon see wheth- CT there is Gods will But as much as Christ as you can into your life for five or ten years, and If at the end of that time you are not wholly convert ed. throw all of it overheard. This Is the best possible test of truth"
 Rev. H. J. Mikel, a distinguished minister of Nashville. will address the noon day services today.

ORDER CAME AS SURPRISE

Pensacola, Fla. March 4.-(Special. The news that President Roosevelt mad ordered the Pensacola Navy Yard closed fell like a thunderbolt this morning on the workmen employed at the place. as well as hundreds who were not even aware that such a move ment had been bitterly fought by the commercial bodies of Pensacola and representatives from Florida, for the past three or four months. and had been successfully carried on until the President took a hand and ordered the abandonment of property which cost the Government for equipment alone several million dollars.
 By the closing of the yard nearly 800 woikmen lose their position. Dis patches sent out from Washington state that about forty men are em- ployed at the Pensacola yard and a less number at New Orleans, whereas nearly that number are employed as stenographers. clerks and bookkeep- CTS. To Secretary Newberry is attrib- uted the closing of the yard. The first fight was when he was made Secre- tary of the Navy. Then he attempted to have the yard abandoned. but with out success. Following this. 1t is charged that he attempted to cut off appropriations. but the Representatives from Florida carried them through and enlisted the support ot other Congress- men and Senators In their fight.
 Finally just before leaving office he interests the President. who without waiting for report from his new commission. orders the Pensacola and New Orleans yards closed.
 The fight will begin anew so far as Pensacola is concerned. for the Cham Der of Commerce will take up the mat ter with the new Secretary of the Navy In an endeavor to have tine yard again placed in commission. When the 300 men now at work at the yard are to receive then discharges was not an- nounced at the yard today for the or ders had not been received.
