Banns to be published in case of marriage of Presbyterians otherwise than by licence.

5. ... in every case in which a marriage shall be proposed to be solemnized by

minister in the Presbyterian meeting house, certified as herein-after is

Presbyterian minister shall be solemnized in such meeting house, and not
elsewhere; and whenever it shall happen that the parties to be married by a
Presbyterian minister shall be members of different congregations the banns
shall in like manner be published in the certified Presbyterian meeting house
frequented by the congregation of which each of the parties to be married
