BISHOP MAKES A
RULE ON DIVORCE
Head of Milwaukee Episcopalian Do
cese Says He Will Not Permit Re.
marriage in His Jurisdiction.

Milwaukee, Wis, oct. 3I.-That
Bishop Nicholson. head of the Mil
waukce Episcopalian diocese, will not
permit marriage of divorced persons

raj. The bishop said:
THE convention did not accomplish
all that We wished in the way of legis-
lation against the remarriage of di-
vOrCed persons. BY vote of the con
ventiOn, however. it was decided to
leave the settlement of the question
TO bishops, and if any pastor in this
diocese wants to know whether he may
marry any divorced person. he has his
answer right here"
As Bishop Nicholson was one IF
the advocates of an absolute ban on
remarriage in such cases, his state
ment is taken as a decision in his dio-
ceSe.
