ELKTON PASTOR
HAS NOT RESIGNED

New Castle Presbytery VIII meet IN
Lewes on Monday. Ministerial and lay
delegates will go down on the early
train from Wilmington.
At the last meeting Of the Presby-
terry, Il was voted 10 ask the resigna-
ton OF the Rev Dr. John McElmoyle
from the pastOrate OF the Presbyterian
Church at Elkton TWO factions In the
church. one in favor OF Or. McElmoyle
and one opposed TO him, had brought
about an undesirable lack OF harmony,
which the Presbytery thought would
be ended by the transfer Of Dr. McEl-
m0yle elsewhere and the bringing OF a
new pastor 10 the ElktOn church. IL
was said also that the large number
OF marriages performed by the minister
In Maryland's Gretna Green caused
much dissatisfaction among some OF
his members and members OF the Pres
bytery and was a large factor In the
request OF the Presbytery for his resig-
nation. At the last session the Pres
bytery lntlmated that further steps
would be taken at the April meeting II
Or. McElmoyle refused 20 resign.
Or. McElmoyle has presented no res
ignation. and his friends have come to
his fense yigo -Ously 10 Is under
stood that Dr. McElmoyle has said he
would carry his case 10 the Synod. 10
protect his ministerial rights. While
he thinks the Elkton marriage laws
should be amended. he considers II a
matter for State or federal regulation,
and that the responsibility for the laws
does not rest upon the clergy.
At the meeting OF the Presbytery on
Monday, further developments IN the
case are to be expected.
