BALTIMORE, December 9.—A pro- posal for a three-day interval between the issuance of marriage licenses and performance of the marriage bore the approval of the 415th stated meeting of the Balimore Presbytery today. The Presbytery voted to ask the Legislature to enact a lew requiring the three-day interval, and also asked other religious groups to back the proposed legislation. In line with this action, the group adopted a resolution requir- | ing ministers to have notice three days before they solemnized a wedding “ex- cept under clearly justifiable circum- stances.” The plea to the Legislature and the provision requiring the ministers to have notice were proposed by the Com- mittee on Christian Education. The committee also proposed that civil marriages be authorized by the Legis- lature. Recent attempts to get this bill through have been defeated.
