Marriage Affinity Bill Debate Warns of Incestuous Tie
Mr Stewart of Liberton attacked a bill legalising marriage between a man and his deceased wife's sister. He cited the Confession of Faith and warned of conflict with Scottish civil and ecclesiastical law, urging the House to refuse passage. The motion to adopt a petition against the bill was agreed to, and the meeting moved to Bannath schools. The Sabbath school report for the year showed 66 schools, 518 on roll, 6500 in attendance, 750 teachers, 30 libraries, 1034 adult classes, and funds raised for libraries and missions. The Presbytery adjourned to June 5.
