She is now in great want of the guidance Ijj^he Holy Spirit, seeing she has lost her Selwyn. In We found a meek, humble, yet earnest follower in the 0 Pa of our blessed Lord and Master. In him was found tj? 'Who joyfully left his home and its many attractions to in a far off distant land, and expound to the igno- jjjjt the glorious Gospel of Christ. Is it possible for the j^tablished Church ever to have another Selwyn ? During tT kst illness a friend of mine wrote to the Bishop, asking V, grounds upon which he hoped for eternal salvation, Li. to which inquiry he wrote the following reply I that Jesus died for me So simple, so confiding a M was he, such a lowly, meek, and humble follower lljA^rist. Oh, that we might all be made Selwyns to- » He was a thorough Christian; there was nothing -and-half about him. W*-t the meeting of the St. Asaph Board of Guardians on "{L May 23, Mr. Pierce Wynne Yorke returned to of the workhouse test, and made a vigorous re- Vi ome criticisms by Mr. BrownlowWynn, upon his at the previous meeting of the Board. He con- *e<3 that all drunkards ought to be offered the house :• There were 244 out-door paupers in Denbigh, and workhouse they now had 104 inmates, costing the j Payers in round figures four shillings each per week. five> father, mother, and three children, who ^6 k uPon 14s. 6d. a week, would, if they came into 'ith °Use' cos'; the ratepayers a pound a week. Now Wer there was great waste in that house, or the fact W clear, that the pauper was treated better than the by labourer who earned his own and his children's bread ij^the sweat of his brow. It had been said that that would never adopt the hard and fast rules out by the Ruthin Guardians, but he con- that although there would be excep- Vjy^ eases which they might considerately deal they must have some rules, some principles to guide W? and at present they had none. It had been said that it wrono by enforcing the house test to bring the of ^rea of decent married people into the "atmosphere qj^stardy."

In school, in church, in ^e» both met on an equality, and yet to f Vrere not to meet in a union workhouse.
