SPLIT ON THE ROCKS. Cardiff Steamer's Fate. PASSENGERS' PERIL. Mr Edmund Handcock, owner of the Cardiff steamer Cam Marth. on Monday received a telegram from Cherbourg stating that the steamer was on the rocks at Cape de la Hogue, situated between six and seven miles from Cherbourg, hut that all hands were sale. The Car nMarth left Cardiff on Saturday morning for Havre, and was signalled off the Lizards at 6.30 on Sunday morning. A thrilling story was related on Tuesday by the crew and passengers of the Cardiff steamer Carnmarth, which was wrecked off the French coast at midnight on Sunday. The Carnmarth was bound from Cardiff to Havre with coal, and she carried three passengers, two being ladies. At midnight on Sunday the vessel was I off a dangerous part of the coast, the weather being stormv, with a stiff breeze blowing, and a current running at 11 knots. Shortly after- wards the clouds, wich had been threatening for some time, broke, and there was a terrific rainstorm, which completely obliterated all the coast lights from the view of those on board, and the ship got in towards shore, eventually striking oil .a submerged rock. The water poured in and the decks were soon awash with the waves. Then the vessel began to settle forward, and there was no alternative but to take to the lifeboats, and the passengers and crew with considerable difficulty left the ship. It was a terrible night, and rain fell in tor- rents the castaways being drenched to the skin The wind freshened, and it was a miracle that the little craft was not swamped. Later the party were picked up by the life- boat Goury and taken to Cherbourg, from whence they were sent to Southampton on Tuesday morning by the London and South- western Co.'s steamer South-Western. The skipper, Captain John Worth, with the first officer and first engineer, remained behind, but the rest of the crew and the two ladies have arrived at Cardiff. Skipper's Record. Mrs Worth, wife of Captain Worth, who lives at Pendennis, Sully, seen by our Barry reporter yesterday, said that beyond a short telegram she knew nothing of the affair. Some time ago r^nt-iin Worth, who had foUowed the sea from boyhood, and had been 22 years master mariner, decided to retire, but after a short residence at Sully he resumed his former life This is the first time," she said, he has ever lost a ship." — MRS DAUNTON. LADY PASSENGERS INTERVIEWED. Mrs Daunton and Miss Welstead arrived at Cardiff on Tuesday from Southampton and were met by their friends, to whom they waved greetings which were responded to as the train steamed in. Both ladies, on descending upon the platform and being surrounded by their friends, burst into tears, but they were tears of joy at finding themselves safe in Cardiff again amongst their friends. A num- ber of pressmen immediately surrounded the ladies, who in response to an appeal kindly related their experiences. Miss Welstead, in reply to our reporter, said It happened about midnight. The previous evening had been hazy and a drizzling rain had fallen. The first thing I became aware of was hearing an awful bumping. Mrs Dalton, who was sleeping in the same berth, exclaimed, Whatever is that t' I said,' Something must have fallen down.' Then there was another awful thud. I then grew a little alarmed, not knowing exactly what was the matter. A few minutes later the captain rushed down to my room and called out, Open the door quick, Miss Welstead we are on the rocks.' What did you do, Miss Welstead t-. Oh, I slipped this long coat on (a cloth coat that would reach almost to the feet and which Miss Welstead now carried on her arm). I had been wearing it the night before because it was bitterly cold on the open sea. I rushed up on deck in my bare feet, going right up to the bridge and to the chart house. Of course I was a bit frightened. Then the steward came rushing along. I was afraid for him to leave us. During the time they were getting out the boats he secured our things from the berth he was very kind.-Was the ship sinking all this time ?—Yes there was a hole in the vessel's bottom I thought she was going down." How long did you have to remain on the vessel after getting the alarm ?— About ten minutes, I should sav they soon got the boats out. The worst experience was get- ting from the ship into the boats. The sea swept the boats against the vessel's side, and r p they would rebound. It was most difficult and dangerous to get from the ship into the boats. There were two boats. All our clothes and things were put into the boats of course they were saturated with water, and so were we." There was some panic on board, wasn't there-you were praying ?" No," answered Miss Welstead emphatic- ally, it is quite wrong what the papers say there was no panic whatever it is quite wrong in the paper about paying because this pour girl (meaning Mrs Dalton) was sick and pros- trate, and it was as much as the steward could do to support her. I was as cool as I am now. I never murmured. We were all quiet." After you left the ship you were in the open sea for some time ?—Yes, about five hours I think. I was glad when daylightt came and we could see where we were it was awful in the dark not. knowing where you were going and rocks about everywhere. That is the trouble it is nothing but rocks. "You were out in the open sea practically all night ?-" Yes it was shortly after midnight when the vessel ran on the rocks, and it was about six o'clock in the morning when we were landed in the village—I forget its name." Anderville ?-" Yes, that's its name. The only time I broke down was when the fishermen were coming out to meet us in a lifeboat. I felt like giving way then. Before that I had kept quite cool. If we've got to go we must" I told myself. But, of course, it was a dreadful time." STEAD- Miss WELSTEAD. I What happened when you gotashore ?— "We went to the little hotel. The men got some brandy there." Miss Welstead concluded by warmly praising the captain and crew, saying They were aU good fellows, and there was no panic whatever." Our representative commiserated with Miss Welstead in her spoilt holiday, but she laughed, her disappointment all the shortened holiday being swallowed up by the joy she felt at being safe among friends again. Mrs Daunton's Story. Mrs George Daunton, of Grange Gardens, like Miss Welstead, looked no worse for her ordeal, and in response to questions kindly gave the following account:— I was awakened at midnight by a bumping. I was knocked against the side of the bunk, and exclaimed to Miss Welstead, who is my aunt, Whatever is that V She said, Oh, nothing, its all right.' Presently I heard the captain shouting, Come up.' I rushed up in my bare feet and night attire. On deck I found the men getting ready to lower the ship's boats. The steward brought me some things, other- wise I should have had to go into the boat wearing only sleeping apparel. I had great difficulty in getting into the boat because the sea washed it about The men kept warning me and telling me what to do. We all got into the boats at last, we were not very long-about 10 minutes or so, perhaps. Then we went out on the open sea. We were drenched with water and it was very cold. We were about three hours in the boat before the lifeboat picked us up and landed us at some village on the coast. I should say it was over five hours from the time the ship ran on the rocks till we were landed on shore. Everybody was very kind to us." Was there any panic ?—" None at all. To say there was screaming and praying is all wrong But I was praying inwardly, if not outwardly, and of course I was very frightened, as any- one would be under the circumstances. Pre- vious to the ship getting on the rocks I bad been ill for two or three days, and it was a very terrible experience for me." Mrs Daunton spoke admiringly and gratefully of the kindness of everybody. The British Consul, she added, took them half way to Cher- bourg in his motor car, and they completed the journey by 'bus, sailing from Cherbourg yesterday for Southampton. Mr Haycraft, son of Professor Haycraft, of University College, who also underwent the same experiences as the two ladies, has gone to Havre, apparently to complete his interrupted holiday, from which it may be inferred that he is none the worse for his adventure.

CHIEF RABBi AT LLANELLY. NEW SYNAGOGUE CONSECRATED. Clergy and Nonconformists at the Ceremony. Tuesday was a red letter day in the history of the Llanellv Hebrew congregation, the occasion being a visit by the Chief Rabbi, Dr. Hermann Adler, who consecrated a new synagogue, which has been erected at Queen Victoria-road at a cost of £ 1,000. Prior to the opening ceremony a large congre- gation had assembled in the synagogue, among those present being Rev. Thomas Johns, D.D., ex-president of the Welsh Congregational Union,Rev. D.

Mr Barnett Goldberg then performed the opening ceremony. The Chief Rabbi headed a procession up the synagogue to the Ark, and during its progress the reader, Rev. Herbert J. Sanheim, Swansea, who was assisted by Rev. J. Solomon, Llanelly, and Rev. M, Lubner, Swansea, conducted the service, and sacred music was sung by a choir of twenty lads c from Swansea. The procession then passed round the interior of the synagogue seven times, and during the circuits Psalms were chanted by the reader and choir. The Scrolls of the Law having been placed in the Ark, above which was a tablet bearing the Ten Commandments, the chief Rabbi delivered a sermon and prayer of consecration, taking as his text Let your heart therefore be perfect with the Lord our God, to walk in His statutes, and to keep His commandments, as at this day." The synagogue, which was built by Mr John Evans, Erw, and designed by Mr T. Arnold, Llanelly, has seating accommodation for 200 persons.

Art Gallery Gift. SWANSEA'S GOOD FORTUNE. MR GLYNN VIVIAN^ MUNIFICENCE. I On Friday Mr Glynn Vivian, the blind philan- thropist, laid the foundation of the art gallery which he has presented to Swansea. It is about two years ago that Mr Vivian, who has devoted most of his life to the collection of art treasures in all parts of the world, announced that he was willing to present them to the inhabitants of his native town and to expend EIO,000 on the erection of a public building in which to house them, provided the inhabitants would find the site and undertake the upkeep I of the building. The offer in the interval "was several times in danger of being lost. First of all difficulty was experienced in discovering legal means of providing the necessary funds. Then it was ascertained that it was possible, subject to a poll of the town, if demanded, to raise this money by means of an additional farthing in the £ to the Free Library rate. Again a deadlock occurred because a section of the community demanded that the poll should be taken. This was regarded as looking a gift horse in the mouth," and the action of this section being resented the offer was withdrawn. Eventually Mr Vivian decided that this section of the inhabitants ought not to be regarded as voicing the opinion of the inhabi- tants as a whole, and the vote was taken. The result was overwhelmingly in favour, and the gift was confirmed. Mr Glynn Vivian arrived, accompanied by his sister, Miss Dulcie Vivian, and was re- ceived by the Mayor (Mr Tutton), the town clerk (Mr John Thomas), the architect (Mr Glendenning Moxham), and Mr David Lloyd (the contractor). Amongst others present at 014 the ceremony were the Hon. and Mrs Odo Vivian, Sir Griffith Thomas the ex-Mayor (Mr Alderman Lee), Colonel H. C. Sinclair, Alder- men J. A. Itawlings and George Payne, Coun- cillors MacdonaJd, Cadwaladr, Devonald, Ivor Gwyime, D. Davies R. Martin, T. Merrells, Hemmings, David Harris, the Rev. D. L. Richards, Captain CoLquhoun, Mr David Grif- fiths, Mr S. E. Thompson (chief librarian), Mr D. C. John (deputy town clerk), and a number of burgesses. In the course of his address Mr Vivian said one thing greatly wanted was means of enabling a class, not in this country paid much atten- tion to, to obtain a means of livelihood—the poor ladies of the town like that who had lost their chief support. With this view he was going to give an endowment of ZLOW, which, at 4 per cent., would realise £ 40 a year, which would be sufficient to secure the services of a man to instruct poor ladies in the copying of the miniatures that would be housed in that institution, to the number of nearly 300. These miniatures could be taken to their homes and copies made for sale as Christmas and New Mr GLYNN VIVIAN, the generous donor of the Gallery. (Photo, by Chapman, Swansea). Year's presents, and that sort of thine, which did not require to be very well done, and for the disposal of which a contract ought to be made with some of the great Tondon firms. As regarded the art gallery, Mr Vivian said it was impossible one collection could supply a whole gallery, but there would be things in it which would be unique. The repre- sentations of the works of Dore, he was per- fectly certain, would be unequalled by those in any other. He knew Dore personally, and bought from his studio pictures which would prove a feature of any gallery, andthese would be part of the equipment of that gallery. (Cheers.) The new building will be approached by a wide flight, of steps to the ground floor, which is elevated off the pavement about five feet, with a handsome entrance and entrance lobby, with accommodation provided for hats and cloaks for visitors. The large central hall, 63ft. long. with barrel root going up the full height of the building with wide galleries round same on first floor level is approached by handsome stone and marble staircase. The large picture gallery on ground floor, divided in the centre by a screen, is 63ft. long, the light for the same being obtained by glass lantern lights the full length of the gallery. On this floor are also three other large rooms to be devoted to the works of art with student room, curator rooms, &c. On the first floor are a series of rooms planned for the various sections of the donor's magnificent collections of miniatures, pictures, &c. Suitable accommodation is provided for a caretaker and all the necessary adjuncts for a building of this nature, which will in every way be fitted up with all the latest and most approved fittings and necessaries.

EMOTION AND THE EYES. Has it ever occurred to our readers that the colour and clarity of the eyes is strongly in- Ir fluenced by their emotions ? Contrast the deep colour', the soft glow and clearness of the eyes of the healthy, happy woman, with the faded, tired, and restless orbs of the victim of nerves. Nervous strain plays havoc with the most beautiful eyes, and we have it on the authority of the famous Society beauty, Mrs Una de Louth, that even the most distressing nervous disorders readilv yield to a course of Phosferine. Mrs Una de Louth says:—" Phosferine has done more good for me than all the doctors, for long standing and severe gouty pains in my head. A few drops of Phosferine gave me instantane- ous and lasting relief."—8, Lansdowne-square, Hove, Sussex.

WHEN JACK'S A MAN he will, according to bis own idea, live royally upon unlimited cakes, pies, and puddings, and will never touch meat. There is an element of real truth in Jack's philosophy, for meat is not really so essential an item of diet as most folks believe. Accurate analysis proves that the average light pudding or cake, plentifully sprinkled with currants, is almost twice as nourishing as an equal weight of lean beef or mutton. This is because of the grand nutritive value of the currants—a value as yet only partially appre- ciated by the housewife.

Obituary. REV. J.A. MORR.18, D.D., ABERYSTWYTH Former President of the Welsh Baptist Union, The death took place on Monday night, at the age of 67, of the Rev. John Alban Morris, D.D., ex-pastor of the Bethel Welsh Baptist Church, Aberystwyth. Born in Anglesey, be I was converted in the revival of 1859. rind after- wards became a pupil of Mr John Rbys. now Sir John Rhys. Later he entered Haverford- west College and was a contemporary of the Rev. Timothy Richard, of China. In 1868 Dr. Morris became pastor of the Tabernacle, Cefn Mawr, and was prominent at that time in securing the return to Parliament of the late Sir Geo. Osborne Morgan. Some four years later he removed to Aberystwyth. During his ministry there the Welsh Chapel was rebuilt at a cost of £4,000. He remained at his post as pastor of the Bethel Church until 1907, when he retired on account of ill-health. On the, removal of the Baptist College from Haver- fordwest to Aberystwyth in 1874 he and the REV. JOHN ALBAN MORRIS, D.D. (Photo, by Haines.) Rev. Thos. Williams, pastor of the English Church, were appointed tutor. In 1896 Dr. Morris received the degree of D.D. from the Jewell Institute of the United States. In 1901 he was elected president of the Welsh Bap- tist Union. He was also a member of the committee of the Baptist Foreign Missionary Society, and also of the Council of the Baptist Union of Great Britain and Ireland, and served on the governing bodies of the Aberystwyth and Cardiff University Colleges. His services as a preacher were in great demand. At the Wrexham National Eisteddfod he won the gold medal for an essay on the characters in Hamlet." His first wife was Miss Evans, daughter of Mr Allen Emerson Evans, Llan- rhaider, Oswestry, and his second wife Miss Hughes, daughter of Mr W. Hughes, Norpunder, Rhyl, and Liverpool. Two sons survive, namely, Mr A. E. Morris. London and Provincial Bank, Fishguard, and Mr J. A. Morris, Gresham Life Office, Swansea. Welsh American Minister.

His first charge was at Blaenavon, and then he crossed over to America, where a useful career was spent, inaugurated by a pastorate at the Baptist Church of Union City. Mr Evans has suffered from a lingering illness.

UNABLE TO FACE HER HUSBAND Aberkenfig Divorce Suit. In the Divorce Division on Wednesday Mr Justice Bargrave Deane and a common jury had before them the petition of Mr Daniel Fitzgerald, of Mount Pleasant, Aberkenfig, a stone mason, for the dissolution of marriage by reason of the adultery of his wife (Catherine) with the co-respondent, Mr Edmund Lewis, against whom damages were claimed. Mr Jellicoe, who appeared for the petitioner, said that the marriage took place in 1903 at St. Mary's Roman Catholic Church, Bridgend. After a short time the husband went to South Africa in order to make money, and the re- spondent went to live with her parents. He sent his wife a remittance of X5 a month. In June, 1900, he was enabled to send his wife a draft for JE250, with instructions to pay it into the savings bank, with the object of drawing against it for her maintenance. On the 12th July, 1905, there was a balance of £174. It seemed that after the petitioner had gone to South Africa an intimacy sprang up between the co-respondent and Mrs Fitzgerald. When her husband was expected home she was unable to face him. She withdrew from the bank the E174, and eloped with Mr Edmund Lewis, and they both lived on the money. They went to Glasgow, where the respondent gave birth to a child, of which the co-respondent was the father. They returned to South Wales, and lived in open adultery. The petitioner took advice with regard to the £174, and both the respondent and co-respondent were arrested, and committed for trial at the Swansea Assizes. When the matter came before the learned Judge it was found that the money was, partly that of the wife, therefore the indictment for larceny could not be sustained, and they were acquitted. Evidence having been given in support, the jury assessed the damages at £ 200. A decree nisi, with costs, was granted.

TREDEGAR COUNCIL. At the meeting of Tredegar District Council on Tuesday, Dr. G. A. Brown, medical officer, reported an epidemic of scarlatina had broken out, but it was of a mild character and was abating. A difficulty existed with regard to the water supply at Park Hill, a locality which was rapidly developing. Mr G. P. Mitchell Innes, Lord Tredegar's agent, had met a deputation of the Council on the spot, and explained to him the proposed scheme, consisting of a storage tank, but Mr Innes did not consider it adequate to meet the probable development, as over 100 houses were likely to be erected there within the next two or three years. An adequate scheme would cost about I £ 2,000. Mr Innes could not give any hope that Lord Tred egar would bear a portion of the cost, but every facility would be placed at the disposal of the Council. The matter was left in abeyance pending information from Mr Innes as to the probable number of houses which would be erected. A discussion took place upon the unsatisfactory accommo- dation at Sirhowy and Tredegar Railway Stations of the L. and N.W. Railway both plat- forms being, it was said, too short for the trains, and there was only one plat form at Trcdegar for a population of over 20,000. Complaints were also made of the discontinuat ion of the communication between Tredegar and Sirhowy with important trains, which was a great in- convenience to business men. It was stated convenience to business men. It was stated ) that the Commercial Travellers' Association 1 was taking the matter up.

Tlie idea, it was explained, was to erect a statue to the famous divine in front of Pen- llwyn Chapel. It was felt that the village where Dr^Edwards was born should have a worthy memorial. It was resolved to refer the matter to the General Assembly. Votes of Thanks. A hearty vote of thanks was accorded Earl Cawdor for presenting Cefnbyrach Chapel, Car- marthenshire, with a pietfe of land for use as a cemetery. Lord Tredegar was also thanked for reducing rents in Newport, which meant a con- siderable sum for the church affected. Provision for Aged Ministers. The conference considered the important question of establishing a fund to provide aged ministers with pensions. The matter arose on a recommendation from West Glamorgan monthly meeting, who urged the association to take the matter up. Mr Philip Thomas, Neath, said that the least expression of reverence the churches could show towards the aged and failing among their pastors was to secure for their last days peace, comfort, happiness and freedom from the haunting fiend of poverty and want. The church ought to lead the State, but as the State had taken the lead in so important a matter the churches should follow. The connexion had in South Wales 63 ministers over 65 years of age, and 31 of these were pastors. If a pen- son of 10s a week were given it would mean £1,668, but he did not think for a moment every one of the 63 would need a pension. The membership of the churches for last year was 85,289 and a halfpenny per month from each member would amount to £2,132 4s 6d. He did not suggest this should be the means of raising the money, but it showed the possibilities of a small contribu- tion. Despite all the Socialistic tendencies of the country, and, to an extent, the churches, there was a deep heartfelt reverence by the Welsh Methodist for his minister. (Applause). Mr Rees Llewelyn, Birchgrove,endorsing these remarks, said that the connexion had been careful to provide for young students, and he hoped to see soon a new branch growing out of the Corph which would bless the old as well. The principle was unanimously adopted, and a committee was appointed to give effect to the decision. Book Room Question. West Glamorgan Monthly Meeting brought forward the book-room question, and asked, in view of the Newport conference decision, that its location should be considered by every monthly meeting in South Wales, and their views submitted before finally deciding. Mr T. H. Jones argued that Cardiff was not a central place and altogether un- suitable from other points of view as well. Swansea, he added, was the only place in South Wales for it. (Laughter.) The book- room would depend on Welsh readers, and in Swansea there were Welsh readers. Mon- mouthshire, to her shame, would be entirely English in ten years. (Laughterr.) Mr William Thomas, Aberystwyth, sug- gested that the whole discussion be ad- journed, for it was quite ridiculous, lie said, to settle the locality of the book-room before they knew they were to have one. Rev. John Morgan Jones, Cardiff, said that discussion might prevent a book-room being granted. If it ever came to South Wales he would be very willing to see Swansea get it if this wrangling about location was to go on. The Newport resolution was cancelled, the conference reaffirmed its desire for a branch of the book-room, and adjourned the question of lccation indefinitely. Other Business. It was reported that the Rev. C. J. Norris, formerly of Llantrisant. had left the con- nexion. and the Rev. J. Morgan Jones said he had joined the Baptists. Much curiosity prevailed among the dele- gates regarding an application from a minister belonging to another denomination for accept- ance into the C.M. Connexion. Gentlemen were appointed to make the necessary arrangements for hearing the applica tion, which will be considered to-day. Applicant is a well known preacher resident in the Neath district. Breconshire Monthly Meeting invited the association to hold its next conference at Tre- castle on August 10th, 11th, and 12th. The consideration of the proposal of the Rev. W. Samlet Williams, that a committee be formed to suggest a scheme for the arrange ment of pulpit supplies, according to the Con- fession of Faith and constitutional deeds of the connexion, so that every minister might receive the same remuneration for preaching at the smaller as wfell as the larger churches, was deferred.

THE CHURCHES AND SOCIALISM. The quarterly meetings of the Welsh Cal- vinistic Methodist Association for South Wales and Monmouthshire were continued at Blaen- garw on Wednesday, under the presidency of the Moderator, the Rev. D. M. Davies, Pen- clawdd. At a deacons' meeting at 8.30 a.m., at Nebo, an address was delivered by Mr W. Thomas, Porth, on the necessity of teaching the special characteristics of the denomina- tion to the children, and a discussion followed.. It was arranged that at the next quarterly meetings Mr Thomas James, of Porthcawl, should read a paper on the value of teaching Welsh on the hearth. Ordination Service. At Tabernacle at 10 o'clock there was an ordination service, at which the following were ordained :—Messrs Matthew Henry Evans, B.A., B.D., Goginan; Gwilym Williams, B.A., Cernewydd; Herbert Davies, B.A., Abergwaun J.

At the Tabernacle in the afternoon the con- ference was concluded, the Moderator presiding. The Rev. David Evans. Penybont, sub- mitted the statistics. The number of churches was 90, an increase of one since 1907 chapels and preaching stations 100, an increase of two separate buildings for Sunday chools 98; seating accommodation at the chapels for 47,732 Sunday school accommodation. 16,9-40; ministers 64 (an increase of 2), preachers 19 (same as in 1907). deacons 559 (an increase of 12). communicants 14,596 (increase of 21), children 6,902 (increase of 265) total con- gregation 27.924, an increase of 178 total Sun- day school membership, 16,436, including 2,028 teachers, an increase of 34. Collections — ministry, £ 7,855 8s lOd missions, £ 1,321 8s 2d chapel debt. £ ?.522 other purposes*; £ 6,84C 14s Id total, £ 23,539 lis Id. The present debt of £42,59258 Id is less by £ 4,030 19s 5d than the amount in 1907. The connexional property is estimated at £189,844 and iEl23,890 is insured. Mr Evans pointed out that the statistics compared with the position of the West Gla- morgan churches before the Revival showed a net increase of 2,598 communicants, and 1,687 in the total congregation, and 1,365 in the membership of the Sunday schools. The total receipts for 1908 were £1,500 more than in 1903. The Rev. Thomas Powell, Port Talbot. spoke on the spiritual aspect of the churches in Gla- morgan and remarked that among the new influences appearing in the churches was Socialism. The Rev. John Morgan Jones, Cardiff, re- marked that the county of Glamorgan was attracting people from all over the countrv and from various parts of the world,and the duty of the denomination was to leaven this mixed population with the leaven of Methodism, pure as it was handed down by their forefathers. The Rev. T. J. Morgan, Garn, Aberystwyth, submitted a report on the Loan Committee, said that there was a sum of a few hundred pounds repayments overdue. The annual re- port was to be presented within a few weeks, and he hoped the repayments would be in then. The importance of the repayments was that the committee had arranged for loans, including this money overdue. A resolution had been passed by the committee that no attention would be paid to applications for loans from any monthly meetings from whom repayments were overdue. He also wished to point out that the contributions towards the loan funds were very meagre. Sabbath Observance. Dr. Aaron Davies moved a resolution urging a more strict observance of the Sabbath, calling upon the churches to do all they nan to bring this about. The Rev. W. Samlet Wil- liams seconded, and said that the public blamed ministers for travelling on Sundays to their appointments. The Rev. Richard Morgan suggested that the resolution was vague, and eventually it was resolved to refer the subject of Sabbath observ- ance to the monthly meetings. On the motion of the Rev. Morris Morgan. a hearty welcome was extended to the Rev. Ceredig Evans and his co-missionaries from the Khassia Hills, India, and the Rev. Ceredig Evans briefly addressed the meeting. Congregationalist Recruit. The Rev. John Morgan Jones reported that the sub-committee appointed to consider the application of the Rev. T. Gwernogle Evans, Congregational minister, Skewen, to be re- ceived into the Methodist connexion had decided unanimously, after full deliberation, to recommend that he be received. He moved that this recommendation be accepted. Mr Morris James, Porthcawl, moved as an amendment that the matter be deferred until the next quarterly meeting. He thought the association should have more time to think over the matter. The amendment was de- feated, 29 voting for and 42 against, and the motion that Mr Evans be received into the connexion was then carried unanimously. On the motion of the Rev. John Morgan Jones a resolution was adopted thanking the Government for introducing the Disestablish- ment and Disendowment Bill, and urging them to press it forward so that it might lie sent to the House of Lords this Session. The resolution also expressed the opinion that the Bill waS exceptionally generous to the Estab- lished Church, and hoped that no further con- cessions would be made. The resolution was carried unanimously. On the motion of the Rev. T. J. Morgan a resolution was adopted condemning the arma- ments competition among the nations, and urging that all international disputes should be settled by arbitration. The secretary (Rev. G. Parry Williams, M.A.) and the Rev. John Morgan Jones were appointed to represent the association at the Peace Conference in Cardiff in June. The next association meetings will be held at Trecastle. Breconshire, on the 10th, 11th, and 12th of August.
