of Blood Wine. He says:

about marked change for the better in
my condition. I took two more, bottles

the Protestant clergyman, whose pro-
tests against the marriage of divorced
persons have attracted considerable at
tcntion. has written another letter to
The newspapers on the subject of the
Vanderbilt Ruthcrfurd wedding. am
rouncinG that as Secretary Henry
White, of the United States embassy
has not replied to his previous letter, he
has now cabled to New York papers
asking IF the Americans who respect
religion think the secretary of their
embassy ought to join with Il diSobcdi
cnt clergyman in Il back Door plot to
outwit the Archbishop of Canterbury
and the bishop of London?'
At the night session of the Londcn
diocesan conference, yesterday, the
bishop of London, the Right Rev. Ar
thur +. Ingram, made statement to
the effect that he had thrice sent for
an explanation from the Rev. NJ. Had
den regarding the Vanderbilt -Ruther-
furd wedding and that more had ben
received
Arising amid intense silence, the pre-
late said he had hoped to present to
the conference an explanation from the
officiating clergyman in the matter of
the grave scandal which recently had
occurred in this diocese" He could
only surmisc that a family bercavc-
mcnt. the death of child. was respon-
siblc for Mr.. Hadden's having entirely
ignored the bishops letters and mes
sage. The bishop characterized the use
of st. Marks chapel for the perform
ancc of the ceremony rs constituting
a grave moral scandal" and expressed
his determination not to enter the
church until due PREPARATION had been
made.
"'rhc present scandal is involved he
said but | hope it will not be with
out good effect if it draws attention
of the entire world to the attitude Of
the church on this subject and empha-
sizes the fact that the proceedings of
the chancellor are entirely beyond the
control of the bishop.
Il hereby express my earnest wish
that thc clergy do not celebrate such
marriages and certainly shall not en-
ter st. Marks church until rcparatiGn
has been made for the insult thus Of
