A case Of considerable interest and i'm
] porianee has just been decided by the
Presbyterian General Assembly sitting al
Philadelphia. The facts on which the
decision is grounded are these: Archibald
Mcqueen was pastor Of the Lemon Hill
Church, attached to the Presbytery Of
Fayetteville, North Carolina, and on the
23d Of October, 1910, he took as his wife
Mary McLoud, the sister Of his deceased
vile. The Presbytey Of Fayetteville,
eonceiying this 10 be contrary to the law
! Of God, cited Mr.. Mcqueen before them,
and after an argument, the facts being ad.
miiicd, they decided that the act was in-
eest, and proceeded TO depose the accus.
ed from the Gospel ministry. From this
judgment Mr.. Mcqueen appealed 10 The
! General Assembly. The decision of The
Presbytery was most ably and eloquently
opposed before the General Assembly BY
the Rev. DR.. Krebs, who stroye to show
that there was nothing whatever in The
Bible to prohibit such marriage. and
that the clause in the Confession Of Faith
which says that "a man may not marry
any OF his wife's kindred nearer in blood
than he may Of his own, nor woman Of
her husbands kindred nearer in blood
than she may Of her own" is too vague
and indefinite to he tue guide in the
decision Of this question. His argument
was replied 10 by Rev. DIR. McIver, and
on Friday the Assembly confirmed the
decision Of The Presby,ery deposing MIR.
! Mcqueen by vote of 60 TO IL, 8 moi
voting. Thus" says the Commercial
Advertiser, ''the question is settled by the
Presbyterian Church: in manner, how.
ever, unwarranted by the law Of God,
and in manner that will not be acqui-
esced in by any man-church member OF
not-who, in taking a'second wife, pre-
fers a sister Of bis FIRST before any other
woman"
