pared to be sent to Germany insist
ing on an adherence to the rules OF

been virtually finished. but the doc
ument was not given to the legal
officers of the State department to-
day as had been expected.
The reason for the delay in the dis

idcnt Wilson played golf during the

Won't Say when.
Officials declined to say when the note
would be cabled or what It's status was.

APPLAUSE GREETS
BISHOP BRISTOL
Sermon Interrupted Several Times
by Applause-His Health is
Now Restored.
TALKS AT FIRST METHODIST

Bishop Frank NJ. Bristol preached
a strong home mission sermon at the
First Methodist church Sunday
morning to a congregation much
larger than usual. His presence in
the pulpit, after long and very seri-
Gus illness, from which he seems to
have entirely recovered, called forth
numerous beautiful floral gifts, and
vigorous outburst of welcoming
applause greeted the bishop when he
was introduced by the pastor, Rev.
Titus Lowe.
During the sermon the normal dignity
and quiet of the church was broken sew
eral times by applause or laughter, the
demonstrative response testifying TO the
bishops restored vigor of presence and
delivery, and to his well known ability
as an orator and humorist as we'll as a
preacher.
A large thank offering toward the
woman's Home Missionary society was
collected at the close of the service. The
beautiful flowers placed around the pull
pit in honor of the bishop were sent to
sick people.
Tells of Poor Widow.
Preliminary to his sermon the dis
tinguished divine told the scriptural
story Of the widows mites, and the story
about the woman who Amounted Jesus
with the costly contents of an alabaster
box. His theme was based on Chrlst's re-
mark. 'She hath done what she could"
Lauding Christian womanhood and the
influence and efforts of all women for
good. the bishop continued:
THE religion of Jesus is the only re-
ligion that believes in womanhood and
the Christian religion is the only one in
which woman really believes. She may
adhere to some other. because of love
for her husband or because OF fear but
Christianity is the only religion in which
she honestly believes.
First Miracle for "A Woman.

a woman and to a woman he first re-
vealed his Messiahship. Women stand
