Moorestown Vestrymen Loyal I to Former Rector Who Quit Biltmore Pulpit I Vestrymen of Trinity Fplvcopnl Church, Moorestown, K. .1., spoke wnrmly today in praNc of their former i rector, the Itev. Dr. Itobcrt McKay, Who, according to dispatches from Ashevllle. N. C. has resigned from the lasnionaoie All Houls' Church, of Bilt- more, nenr Asheville, following criticism by Herbert D.,Mllcs, a retired Chicago DR. M'KAY UPHELD BY JERSEY PARISH iinnser. Dispatches from Aslievlllc say thai Mr. Miles wrote a letter attacking Doc tor McKay ns Incnpnble of holding the position of rector nnd sent it tn Ashe ville newspapers. Doctor McKay, though he has been nt Illltmorc only a short time, hns on so high n place In , the regard of tin. people that the news papers refused to print tlie letter. Doctor McKay, however, felt Impelled to resign, nnd his resignation was ac cepted by the vestry. He plans to re- turn to Dnjtona. Fla,. where he wag rector until cnlied to Hlltmore. "Called Christian Gentleman" "Doctor McKay Is very much a gen tleman, and a Christinn gentleman, moreover," said Edmund Mnule. senior warden of the Moorestown church, when told about Doctor McKay's resigna tion. "I have known him well for mnny years, and I can say without hesitancy ! "-wa, with u, for WaltoaZS: turn t mini mm in tnc turnout resneef. i . ... i i i u mm whu ueioveu generally, l cannot imagine wlint could havo led to the break, but I am sure it was nothing to Doctor McKay's discredit.

"Doctor McKay was a man of ex emplary character," said Mr. Walton. "There must bo some mistukc. I enn not believe anything that would reflect on him. Doctor McKay was not a man of strong health. He never fully re covered from ii serious illness he had when nt Moorestowu. It may bo that the work nt All .Souls' Church was too much for his strength, ns he is a man auvanccu in years.
