consequently tabled. which Is taken
as meaning quashed.
As matters now stand, the church
Elders at Elkton are engaging the
Rev. DR.. John McElmoyle in oppo-
sition to the order OF the Presbytery
Of New Castle which dissolved his
pastoral relations with the church.
Some time ago. the Presbytery OF
New Castle protested to Presbytery
OF Baltimore against Dr.. McElmoyle,
who IS a member OF the Baltimore
Presbytery. supplying the pulpit at
Elkton. but the Elkton church en-
cages DR.. McElmoyle to preach each
Sunday.
1t was thought today that should
an order be issued against Dr. Nc
Elmoyle preaching IN Elkton church.
the church would withdraw from the
Presbyterian jurisdiction and be-
come Independent. This would raise
the question as TO the title OF the
church. If It lay with the Presbyter-
ian Church as a whole rather than
with the individual congregation. the
majority in Presbytery who are op-
posed to DR.. McElmoyle would gain
possession OF the building. although
a majority ot the congregation favor
DR.. McElmoyle.
The general impression Is that the
Synod think Il would be better by
far TO let matters stand as they are
until some satisfactory adjustment
can be made. II is understood prom
inent laymen are trying to map out
plan to bring peace at Elkton.
The reports OF several committees
were given during the course OF the
day and the Synod went on record
as favoring that the church lay
stress on the obligation OF parents
to teach children Of the Christian
religion in the home, that II seek
uniform divorce laws, that all can
didates for public office. at variance
with the Federal Constitution and
favoring any modification OF the
Volstead Act be opposed, that It de-
plore the menacing attitude OF many
labor leaders toward the laws Of the
country and urge Christian prin-
ciples be applied to the relations OF
capital and labor and that the Lords
Day Alliance be supported.
The report OF the committee of
Foreign Missions shows that of to-
tai budget for the current fiscal year
OF S4.634,000 only S536,652 has
been raised. The Synod OF Balti- |
more's quota is placed at S125.0OO.
