COMMISSION REPORT
WILL Be EXONERAT|ON
OF REV. J. NJ 'ELM0YLE
Will Hold That, Technically, Pas-
tor Was UnjustIy Dismissed
by Presbytery.
CASE OF WIDE INTEREST

Uinona Lake, Indiana, May 25.-he-
no,ts current here late last night indi-
Gated that the report of the Juoiciah
commission, the supreme court OF 'ne
presbyterian Church, would be such as
TO exonerate Rev. John McElmoyie,
ma sfor of the Elkton Maryland Presos-
terian Church, from dismissal charges
placed against him sometime ago.
The judicial commission, which de-
livsrs its opinion today, is expected 10
declare that, technically, Pastor NC
F,luovle was dismissed from his ehurch
uniustly. because not sufficient notice
of the dismissal was given to him De-
fore it was made effective.
Rev. McElmoyle was widely known
as the marrying parson. However
he is still actively ministering TO his
congregation at Elkton, Md.
After being ordered out of his church
by New Castle Presbytery, appeal was
taken by him to the Synod of Baltimore,
which reversed the decision OF the
Presbytery.
Those opposing Pastor McElmoyle,
however. continued their stand against
him and again took the matter TO the
Presbytery. Profiting from previous
experience. the Presbytery did not this
time order him to vacate his pulpit, but
represented strongly TO him that such
action would be highly desirable.
Pastor McElmcyle refused to heed the
request, and remained with his congre-
cation, the majority of whom favored
his staying because of the reversal of
action by the Synod.
Pastor McElmoyie has carried his
case to the judicial commission, the su-
preme court of the Presbyterian
Church, in order that his name might
be cleared and the charges originally
fled against him dismissed.
The judicial commission reported
during the session today that three
elders who were most strongly oppos-
ed. resigned sometime ago. and ac-
cording to late reports the church is
running smoothly and is growing.
The original charges against Pastor
McElmoyie reported him as operating
a "Gretna Green" at Elkton, Maryland
and marrying as high as 1000 couples
in one year. Many of these couples
were runaways from and across the
border lines from the strict State laws
of Pennsylvania and Delaware. 1t was
| because of the widespread notoriety
caused by these wholesale marriages
according TO the evidence, that the
/ custer proceedings were taken.
| The case is significant, however, be-
cause the majority of the congregation
