THE NATIONAL CONVENTION. Proceedings at Newport. The annual convention of the National Sunday School Union was opened at Taber- nacle Cbapel, Newport, on Saturday evening. Dr. A. Garrod Thomas, J.P., D.L.. presided, and referred to the influence of Sunday schools on the life of the people. Seven cities claimed Homer when he was dead, and there were at least two countries which claimed to have Mr J. liscombe, J.P., Mayor of Newport. President of the Sunday School Union. (Photo by A. & G. Taylor, Newport.) ————————————————————)———————. given birth to the Sunday school. He believed that Robert Raikes founded the Sunday school in England simultaneously with Charles of Bala in Wales. On this occasion, however. the question of who started the Sunday school was immaterial, for the convention met at I Newport, and England and Wales claimed Monmouthshire, (Applause.) Dr. Thomas v Mrs Liscombe, Mayoress of Newport. (Poto by Atkins ancLLockyear, Newoort.) paid a tribute to the assistance (?rven to work of this kind by the Mayor of Newport (Coun- cillor J. Liscombe. J.P.), and compared the conditions of religious life to-day with those prior to the advent of Sunday schools. The Rev. Frank Johnson, London. editor of the Sunday School Chronicle," in the course of an address on The Conditions of Success in Sunday School Work," said that in the last analysis of all human affairs they came upon character. It was the stuff upon which and with which teachers worked. No work could be more influential, for they laid hands upon the will, which was the helm of life. Knowledge of the child was essential. Every child responded with bis whole nature to some trutb-ons vibrated at the thought of leadership, others thrilled to the appeal of imagination, of courage, ambition, &c. What bad to be done was to turn the truths of the Gospel round until it was discovered which caused a lad's mind to leap up in answering music, and that moment the key of his heart and life was placed in the teacher's hands. (Hear, hear.) Mr W. J. Pnrver, London, and the Rev. R. Mon Evans. Newport, also spoke, and the choir (conducted by Mr Fred Jones) gave a capital rendering of Worthy is the Lamb and Sun of my Soul." On Sunday a number of the visiting ministers and laymen, including the Revs. Carey Bonner, Frank Johnson, Messrs F. F. Belsey, A. Barham, T. Cox, and W. J- Purver, preached at Newport chapels. United Sunday school services were held during the afternoon at, various centres in the town. Civic Welcome at Newport. i The proceedings of the National Convention In connection with the Sunday School Union were resumed at Newport on Monday evening, when the Mayor of Newport (Councillor Lis. combe) gave the delegates a, civic welcome at the Forward Movement Central Hall. Quite ] 200 delegates from all parts of the country were present, and the attendance of the general pub- ] lie numbered nearly 2,000. Rarely in the his- tory of the Union have the opening proceed. ings been attended with so much eclat. His 1 Worship the Mayor was supported by ] several members of the Corporation and the majority of the Free Church ministers of the town. These included Alderman Bear, Alderman Mordey, Alderman j Howell, Councillor Brown, Councillor Sim. monds. Councillor Collier, Councillor Abraham- ] son. Councillor White, Councillor W. Evans, Rev. H. Vivian, Revs. H. Abraham, G. H. Cook, Thos. Richardi, D. D. Joseph. D. H. Williams, Mon Evans, J. Glyn Davies, Walrond Skinner, A. J. Jenkins, J. D. Jones, C. L. Perry, D. B. Jones, Caerfeon — Watts, Pontnewydd Messrs Chris. Thomas, W. L. Goldsworthv, A. Bryant. J. Gwynne Ellis, W. E. Morgan. W. H. Wilson, E. J. Powell, Fred Jones, Wm. Harding, F. T. Groves. His Worship, in welcoming the delegates, gave an interesting resume of the many attrac- tions af Newport, and speaking as the presi- dent of the Newport Sunday School Union, said the Union contained 42 Sunday schools with a membership of 11,400. He hoped that the de liberations of the week would result in a revival of Sunday school work. At present one of the great needs of Sunday school workers was encouragement. (Hear, hear.) The Rev W. Vivian, F.R.G.S., on behalf of the Newport Free Church Council, also spoke words of weicome.and expresged.sympathy with the Mayor on the illness of his wife. He claimed Newport to be the centre of a vigorous and enterprising type of Nonconformity. Within ten mioutes walk of that magnificent hall-in itself a striking tribute to the Free Church en- terprise of the town-there was accommoda- tion for nearly 11,000 people. (Applause.) Rev. D. D. Joseph welcomed the delegates on behalf of the temperance societies, and ex. pressed a. desire to see greater prominence piven to temperance in the Sunday schools. (Applause.) It was no use to improve the con- ditions of the Sunday school unless something was done to improve the homes of many hap- less children. (Applause.) The Rev. A. A. Matthews followed on behalf of the Church of England. The convention, be said, had come to the land of the Sunday school- (Applause.) At Rhymney, in his arty days, they had an old Sunday school scholar over 80 years of age—a collier, and he used to tall them with fire and enthusiasm that had not finished learning yet." That was a characteristic of the Welsh people they were atill learning, and would never get tired of learning the golden contents of the Bible. (Appianse.} The rev. gentleman concluded with an appeal to the Mayor and Corporation b aPt their laces against the proposal to run fimtdav tr«ns- (Applause.) The Maym- at a later stage expressed a belief that the present order ot things would con- tinue, (Applause.) The last wurds of welcome came from Mrs TT,—who in singularly felicitous terms spok* on behalf of the Local Christian Endca- vour Union. Mr S. F- Beiaey. J.P.. of London, extended a hearty welcome on behalf of England, and in doing so remarked upon the sympathy shown by the municipalities of the country. Mr R. J. Matthews, of Swansea, also responded. The featute of the proceedings was the excellent musical programme provided by the Havelock Male Voice Choir, conducted by Mr G. F. Davies, amd an orchestral band. led by Mr W. A. Bartholomew, Miss Elsey, Miss Jones, Miss Gladys M. Jones. Miss Gwen Hall Jones, and T*Tr GTrvTsno FUia. Heresies of the Higher Criticism." The first session of the Newport National Convention in connection with the Sunday School Union was opened on Tuesday, at the Tabernacie Church. Alderman T. H. Howell, J.P., presided. The central topic for discussion was the relation of the Church and senior school, and both in the papers read and in the discussion that followed several helpful sug- gestions were made. The Chairman, in his opening remarks, deplored the prevalence in the pulpit and Amongst teachers of the heresies of the higher criticism. To his mind the prac- tice of airing their doubt on the authenticity of the Scriptur-es had a bad influence on the plastic minds of the young, and was prejadicial to the cause of Christ, Work the Safeguard of Converts. Mr H. J. Cox, of Penarth. gave a valuable paper, entitled •' The History of the Men's Class." One of the speaker's most interest- ing experiences in connection with the class was that the attendance remained stationary until the members began to do some Caristian work. Give the converts something to do Christian service kindles the convert's first enthusiasm with permanent zeal. while lack of service has been the most fruitful cause of backsliding." In the discussion Mr Walker Blott. of Bath, remarked that the most diipcult character to deal with in men's ciasses was the wobbler. (Laughter.) Mr Jeffreys, Ebbw Vale, said it behoved them in these classes I- to hinder the emotional exhibitions which were common in Wales." Socialists and Religion. Alderman Mark Mordey, J.P., who presided over the next session,said he hoped that during that convention some method would be devised whereby the children of this country could be assured of a Christian training. They were to-day threatened with danger from Socialism, and it would be their duty to stem its tide. (Applause.) These people openly declared that they did not want churches and religion —(Shame)—but it would never do to build up the fabric of our national life upon such a foundation as that. (Applause.) Alderman White, M.P., and the Institutional School. The President (Alderman White, M.P.) in his address directed attention chiefly to the shrinkage in the attendance of the senior members of the Sunday school. He mentioned that only 22 per cent. of young people over 15 years of age remained in the school, and asked how could this state of thincs be met. They had in the past committed the mistake of con- tinuing their Sunday school work on the old lines, whilst important, changes had taken place in the social conditions around them. He urged that special classes should be set apart for these youths, that efforts be made to direct their reading to counteract the trashy stuff of the day. to interest them in music and singing and to win their love and sympathy. The work of the Sunday school to be effective must be carried throughout the nights of the must be carried throughout the nights of the week, and the gap between Sunday and Sun- day with its temptations from all quarters must be bridged. Many of their scholars were drawn from surroundings wholly prejudicial to the growth of Christian virtues and they should provide better substitutes for their new condition '.of life. Their chapels were closed during the week, but the palaces of doubtful amusements kept an ever open door. In a word the only effective way to prevent the present shrinkage was through the completely equipped Sunday school institute touching the life of impressionable youths at all its points. (Applause.)

PUBLIC MEETING. Speeches by Dr. Horton and Aid. White. In the evening the Mayor presided over a public meeting atthe Forward Movement Hall. The spacious edifice was filled with an audience of over 2,000 people. Dr. R. F. Horton, who was given a cordial reception, said Sunday School work had during the past century entered upon a new phase and probably a new development consequent upon the recognition of the principles of psychology in the training of young children. If, however, during the first century of Sunday school work they laid all the emphasis upon the lessons, forgetting the mind, let them, now that the. had begun to lay the emphasis on the mind, take care that they did not neglect the lesson. (Ap- plause.) The rev. gentleman urged a closer and more devout study of the Bible, for the gleanings of the sacred volume were better than the vintage of all the other books that he knew. (Applause.) The great arm of every teacher should be the conversion of his pupils. The rev. gentleman concluded with several eloquent passages on the conversion of young children, and illustrated his points from the career of Dr. Griffith John, the greatest, living missionary," whu was admitted into church membership at the age of eight. Had I not taken the momentous step when I did," said the greatest of living Welshmen, it is possible that I might never have taken it." Alderman White, M. P., said if this nation was to remain happy and Drosnerous there were two great pillars upon which it must rest namely, religion and education, (Applause.) The child life of the- country was its most valuable asset, and they must do everything possible to conserve it for Christ. (Applause.) Sunday school teachers would never have a proper estimate of their work unless they were satisfied that it must be for conversion. It was easier to form than re-form, and for this reason the conversion of the little ones should be of the greatest concern to all teachers. A feature of ths evening was the rendering by the Newport Male Voice Choir (conducted by Mr Spencer Jones) of several well-known pieces, including a beautiful arrangement of 11 Hen Wlad fy Nhadau." The Lack of Reverence. The central topic for discussion at the second conference of the Sunday School Convention at Newport on Wednesday was" The Missionary Function of the Sunday School." Councillor W. A. Baker, Newport, presided The Chair- man gave an interesting account of missionary effort at Tangiers, which he visited some time ago. The missionary in charge was a Welsh- man, and he and his wife h £ (i trained a very fine band of boys whom they had saved from the streets of the city. The missionary informed him that he h ad gone out to Morocco to do missionary work among the adults, but finding the older generation were hopeless he turned his attention to the boys, and built a mission-station in a secluded spot, remote from the old temptations aud associations of the lads. Mrs Dickie., of Bristol, outlined the work undertaken by the Sunday School Union on the Continent in 1854. To-day there were 100,000 teachers engaged, and- the scholars num- bered 2,000,000. The work, however, was not receiving the support it deserved in England, and she appealed for greater liberality. An interesting paper was read by Mr A. C. Monroe, of Peckham, on 11 What a Sunday School can do for missions." The speaker de- scribed the organisation of a Metropolitan Sun- day school (Rye Lane), which contributed last year JE355 towards foreign mission work, and £105 towards iome work. The money was raised by systematic weekly offerings, and the speaker claimed that the interest aroused and the efforts put forth in this way bad exercised a marked influence for good on all departments of church work. Lack of Reverence. Councillor Gwilym Morgan, J P. (Mayor of Swansea), presided over the second part of the conference. His Worship, who has been for 40 years a Sunday school teacher, lamented the present lack of reverence that characterised their Sunday schools. In a delightful lull, which the audience hugely relished, he said. Some Sunday school children nowadays are never silent except when singing." Rev. H. Walker Blott, of Bath, followed with a comprehensive address on Sunday school work. Touching upon irreverence, he said it shut out the soul from the greatest pos- sible happiness, for it meant self-idolatry. Reverence was the very heart of worship. The weakening of parental authority meant the weakening of all authority, and this was one of the greatest problems they had to face. Rev. Carey Bonner afterwards conducted a question box." Amongst the questions sent up were How do you aceount for teachers after marriage ceasing as such 1" (Laughter) You can't account for that/'said Mr Bonner. "They miss the highest and the best in life by being so wrapped up in each other." "Should unconverted teachers be engaged?" The rev. gentleman replied that the principal function of a teacher was not to impart know- ledge, but to be a conduit for spiritual influence. If a teacher was unconverted, then he could not fulfil his mission. Do you believe in scholars taking part in the opening worship J" Yes, emphatically," was the answer. On the question of higher criticism, Mr Bonner said it was folly to ignore textual and other kinds of criticism, but these questions should be discussed not in the Sunday school. where the positive truths of religion should be taught, but in special week-night classes. Do you approve of catechisms?' No it is generally a kind of food which children can- not digest." The rev. gentleman mentioned that the Union was preparing a special course of study for primary teachers, and he was hopeful that before long a summer school would be estab- lished. In the afternoon Principal Henderson, of Bristol, read an erudite paper on the" Symbol. ism of the Fourth Gospel." The chair was taken by Alderman Bear. Later, Miss Ethel J. Archibald gave a second primary class de- monstration, in which liberal use was made of pictures, etc., to awaken the interest of the children. Alderman Meggitt, of Barry, himself an expert in Sunday school methods, said he was convinced that Miss Archibald's method would eventually have to be generally adopted. Another matter calling for reform waa the structure of the schools. Notable Sermon by Dr. Horton. In the evening Dr. R. F. Horton preached to a crowded congregation at the Victoria-road Church Basing his remarks on Isaiah i., 18. the rev. gentleman said the trend of the thought of the times was in the direction of discrediting religion altogether. In France to- day three-quarters of the population were in. fidel, and in this country there was a lessen- ing attachment of the population to church organisations. The Rationalist Society's pub- lications were eagerly purchased, and Hackel's Riddle of the Unrverse," the object of which was to show that there was no God, was being read by hundreds of thousands, not- withstanding the fact that it had been answered by Sir Oliver Lodge and refuted in its minutest details. It was the duty of every preacher and teacher to thoroughly under- stand the positions of such writers so that they might show to any intelligent working man that they were misleading. Having exposed some of the fallacies of Agnosticism the rev. gentleman touched upon the difficulties arising from a study of com- parative religions, and said that the religion of Jesus Christ stood high above all the others. The Roman Catholic Church was bringing to bear upon this island all her re- sources of intellect and wealth, and the coun- try was singularly unprepared for the attack. The principles of the Reformation had been forgotten, and the rising generation were founding their opposition to Rome upon pre- judice and even misrepresentation. They had not seen the majesty and glory of the great Catholic Church, and when it be- gan to reveal its glory many of them had not the knowledge or strength to resist it, and consequentiy they went over to the com- munion of the Church from which our country was delivered three centuries ago. They must uni ;rstand where the issue lay. There was also a danger, which would increase in the future, from Unitarianism, to refute which they must make their lives hidden with Christ in God. Then there was the difficulty resulting from the two extreme views held of the BIble, the old one of literal and verbal inspiration and the modern one which robbed the Bible of all distinctive authority and divine character. The revelations of science, disbelief in prayer, the growth of," classical paganism," the gap between profession and practice, the inex- plicable suffering of the human race were also touched upon as obstacles to the spread of the Christian religion. It was the duty of Christians to boldly face these problems. It was only when the intellect of our times began to pray that the great revival would come. It was by the preaching of the Cross that the intelligence of the people was gripped.

SOCIALIST IDEALS. Mr S. T. Evans, K.C., M.P., Recommends Discrimination. Por the convenience of workmen employed on the night shift who were unablo to attend his meeting the previous evening, Mr S. T. Evans, K.C., M.P,, addressed a meeting at 8.30 on Wednesday morning. There was a large attendance. On the motion of Mr David Thomas, seconded by Mr William Hfiwells, a vote of confidence in Mr Evans was carried unanimously. Mr Evans, who was received with loud cheers, said that if the working men would j take his advice they would not allow the ranks of Labour to be divided or weakened, which might have been the case to some extent had there been a contest. He was therefore very glad for the sake of the unity of the Federa- tion that things had happened as they had. (Applause.) There were guides of the workmen who were not, in his opinion, wise guides, for they preached ideals to workmen which could not be realised for generations to come. Some of these ideals were good and some were not good. He was sure the men of Mid-Glamorgan would not be led away by these will-o-the-wisps. He had seen it stated that he had not attended certain Parliamen- tary divisions, but he could not be everywhere, as he was on the Procedure Committee, which was doing a lot of important work in the direction of improving the rules of the House. Of course those-who Vanted to cavil could find a particular division that he had not attended, but he knewthat such unfair tactics would not catch the men of Mid-Glamorgan- (Applause.) If the House of Lords, he proceeded, went very far in mangling Bills sent up by the House of Commons, it would be necessary to bring pro- minently before the country the question of docking the powers of the Second Chamber. The Compensation Act would no doubt hit the small employer hard, and he thought the ulti- mate issue must be compulsory State insur- ance. (Applause.) As to Socialism, he was not afraid of a name. and there were some parts of the programme of the so-called Socialists with which he agreed, but there were other parts with which he did not. Every. thing should be done to weld the Liberal party together and not to preach doctrines which were actually dividing the working classes. The Socialism that crippled individual effort could not be good. Mr Evans was asked at the close of his speech whether he was in favour of universal suffrage as in vogue in Australia. Mr Evans replied that he should like to nee manhood suffrage in this country, but as to female suffrage he had his own opinion, which had not been shaken by recent events. (Laughter and applause.) He did not think women as a sex were fitted for the work of government or desired to have votes. The immediate sphere of women was the home, where they could influence their husbands and children. Woman Suffrage. With reference to a paragraph we published yesterday, Miss Watson, organiser for the Central Society for Woman Suffrage, desires to make it clear that her society, whilecomplete!y dissociating itself from such scenes as occurred at Mr S. T. Evans's meetings at Maesteg on Monday, does not repudiate the Women's Social and Political Union, as the two societies, though their methods may not be the same, have an identical object in view, namely, the enfranchisement of women, and thu3 there can be no antagoniml between them. Miss Watson also wishes it to be known that she informed Mr Evans at the interview he granted her on Wednesday morning, that her society would have given support to the Labour candidate had one been brought out. Also, that after placing before Mr Evans the views cf her society on woman suffrage, any- thing further that was said in the course of the conversation was entirely personal, and not on bebalf of the Central Society for Woman Suffrage.

MUNICIPAL" ENTERPRISE." Lawyer's Slashing Attack. At Wednesday's sitting of the Incorporated Law Society's conference at Manchester a striking paper was read by Mr Dixon H. Davies, London, ^on certain unconstitutional tendencies of local government, which con- sisted of a powerful attack on municipal trading. No one, be said, was satisfied with the present state of things, except the Socialists, who frankly hailed modern munici palisation as a step towards nationalism in the near future. Of all the industries of the country the local authorities had faJJen sadly behind the standard of sober administration, and brought about results nothing less than disastrous to the community. Nothing could be more lamentable than the state of electrical development. The industry had been kept in the leading strings of officialdom. It was a question whether in the department of finance local authorities had not managed to accom- plish even more mischief. There was hardly a town of any size whose Finance Committee was not taking advantage of any rift in the financial clouds to place a cool million ortwo of Corporation stock. Gilt-edged securities were lowered, and the price of money raised by municipal operations. The chief sufferers by the contractions of enterprise were the working classes. Money was made dearer, employment scarcer, and labour cheaper. He advocated the control of finances by the House of Com- mons.

— UNABLE TO EAT. DUNDEE IADY TELLS OF LOSS OF APPETITE. FOLLOWED BY PAIN. WIND, HEADACHE, AND DIZZINESS BUT MOTHER, SEIGEL'S SYRUP CURED HER AND KEEPS HER WELL.. Loss of Appetite is one of Nature's surest signs w-hat there is something wrong with the digestive system, and if the warning were heeded, and a short course of Mother Seigel's Syrup taken, much suffering would be avoided. *n *^7 following testimonial Mrs Annie Smith. 143, Nsrthergate, Dundee, tells what loss of appetite led to in her case. Writing on April 25th, 190&, she says «• My illness came on with loss of appetite. Then I began to have pain at the chest, and when I forced myself to eat I suffered terribly. I bad dreadful headaches, and was a perfect martyr to wind, with frequent dizzy attacks and sometimes I went off in a dead faint. This went on month after month, and I became so thm and weak that I could hardly support my own weight. I had been suffering for quite a. year when, on my doctor's advice, I went to Glasgow for a change. Living with some friends there I was persuaded to try Mother Seigel s Syrup, and this so relieved me that on my return I left off the doctor's medicine and continued with the Syrup. Alter taking one bottle I got a second but I never finished that for I was cured. I have never suffered in the same way since, though some years have passed." Every possible form of indigestion yields to Mother SeigM s Syrup. It acts directly on the organs affected, and by restoring them to natural activity ensures perfect vigorous health.

Second Day's Work. ARE THERE TO BE ANY SITTINGS IN WALES? Witnesses Summoned to London. On Saturday morning the members. of the Welsh Church Commission met again at West. minster, there being a full attendance. The work done was similar to that of the preceding day, namely, the investigation and collation of statistics regarding the different churshes and at the close of the sitting, which lasted about two hours, the following official report was given to the journalists :— The Commissioners were all present; and were engaged in further consideration of the statistical information and in arranging the order of their future proceedings. It was determined to hold their next meeting on the 19th of October, at 10 a.m., when evidence will be taken dealing with the county of Carmar- then. The Outlook: An Important and Interesting Question. The foregoing is ail the report officially vouchsafed. To the next meeting, however, reporters will be admitted and witnesses will be brought up from Carmarthenshire to (rive evidence. Their names are not yet ascertain. able, because a selection has not yet been made. The chairman will decide this matter after examining the list of names and getting some idea of the probable character of the testimony that is tendered, after communication has been made with the witnesses. It is understood that Carmarthenshire has been selected as the first place from which evidence should be called owing to the secretary's in- timate knowledge of the district, and the per- sons in it, greatly facilitating the making of the necessary arrangements, and thus simpli- fying the task of selection. The decision to summon witnesses to Lon- don is of far-reaching importance, and has provoked much criticism, one chief topic of comment being the restriction of the inquiry which seem* to be thus indicated. Obviously it would be unfair to base a judgment of the future upon the doings of two days; days which were necessarily introductory to the I business, and devoted to a mass of preliminary detail. Nevertheless, there are considerations which have been irresistibly suggested and upon a question of dominant concern, as Dis- establishment is to Wales, it is inevitable that the closest scrutinv of procedure will be made, and a very keen interest be aroused when the slightest appearance of supposed shortcoming is perceived. We described on Saturday the objections to any restriction of the inquiry to statistical evidence alone and there are. objections equally strong: to the centring of the work in London. It being now apparent that for some time to come the sittings will take place at West- minster, inquiries were made on Saturday as to the reasons for this determmition. Among those reasons is the fact that the Treasury is always averse to a travelling Commission on account of the heavy expense involved. As witnesses who give evidence are p*id only their out-of-pocket expenses, a score of them can be brought to London and their evidence taken at less than the Commission would cost for a single day in the country. A Commission can take the evidence of only a lew witnesses— probably less than six. eometimes not more than one—in a day. With a travelling Com- mission there is not only some expense incurred by witnesses, but there is the expense of the Commission itself. Then there is the strong inducement held out to tho Commis- sioners themselves to sit in London. It is customary for the Courts of Appeal to arrange their sittings so that on one or two. days in the week cases can be taken by two j judges instead of three. The Courts of Appeal used to sit on Saturday, but now only one Court of Appeal sits on Saturday—and that I one not always. It would seem as if the chair- man, Lord Justice Vaughan Williams, in ar- ranging for the sittings o £ the Commission to ba on Fridays and Saturdays, has kept in view his Court ot Appeal business that is to say, he has fixed Fridays and Saturdays because that arrangement will allow of his attending to the Church Commission and also being at the Law Courts for ordinary business. The business in the Appeal Court is In arrear, and his Lordship could hardly be spared. Besides the position of the chairman, the other members of the I Commission are so placed that London sittings suit them best. Those who are lawyers naturally prefer to be in town while the Courts are sitting and so it is, also, with those who are members of Parliament. Principal Fair- bairn can more easily and quickly get to Lon- j don than he could to Wale* and it is almost a3 easy for the non-legal and non-Parliamen- tary members to go to London as to go any- where in tho Prncipality. The Public Point of View. So much from the Commissioners' standpoint. The public and especially the keener politicians í will probably take a different view for whilst no one wishes to occasion delay by multiplying witnesses, or inducing repetition of evidence— whilst on the contrary there is clear recogni- tion of the danger of delay—it will be generally regarded as desirable that local sittings should be held, some very strong feeling upon this matter being displayed. If there is to be an undue dependence on mere statistics, if there are to be no local sittings, or only one or two in the chief centres, if the whole inquiry is to be formal and not really complete, the work of the Commission will not satisfy public opinion. Certainly in the minds of the Commissioners figures are holding too high a place. It was suggested for instances that a. general cencus of chapel attendances should be made,but the suggestion was not approved nor was a further proposal as to a return of the number of available sittings in the different places of worship. One* argument was conclusive against the latter's idea—namely, that it was not vacant places, but the places occupied by attendants at public worship which showed how far any particular church had the support of the people. The words spiritual provision made use of in the terms of reference were held to involve the consideration of how far the people availed themselves of the provisions made. Another matter that gives rise to wide differ- ence of opinion is the return as to provisionv made for the spiritual welfare in so far as this is to be measured by money. Hera, in particular, statistics are inadequate often- times altogether misleading For example, a generous donor gives to the Establishment a new church, or rebuilds an old church or, it may be, a few wealthy persona make this pro- vision- On the other hand, a small company of colliers or quarrymen buiid a chapel—" on faith and a mortgage." The rich people's church will be costly— £ 10,000 or £ 15,000 has been thus spent over £20.000 in one case. This total sets out the provision made for spiritual welfare by the Church of England and, as a matter of mere figures, the few hundreds of pounds spent upon tho poor people's chapel looks very lIttle in comparison. Yet tbe smaller sum really represents the work of many; it manifests a far greater measure of self-denial; and in consideration of ) the Establishment versus Free Churches it out- weighs enormously the larger expenditure of the Episcopalians. So long, however, as statistics are alone taken, and totals are made up without due qualifying explanation of every item that requires it, so long must the statistics be mis'eadiog. But will the necessary quali- fication promptly and fully be got if the evidence be all taken in London ? Many other matters arising out of the two days' work of the Commission have come under debate but the foregoing must for the present suffice to exhibit their nature The inquiry has not gone far enough to justify condemnation, though, of a surety, serious doubt has been engendered.

~7"ONMOUTHSHIRE CENSUS. A census was taken of the attendants at all the churches and chapels in Monmouthshire on Sunday morning and evening. It has already been reported that enumerators from the Anglican Churches made a census of the attendants at tbe Nonconformist Chapels some weeks ago, and in addition to this some of the clergy at Newport. as well as a number of lay- men, have during the Past few days made a house-to-house canvass at Newport. The questions put as a rule were What place of worship do you attend Are you a Dis- seater or Churchman • One rev. gentleman, when told We are Nonconformists," res- ponded with Oh. what a pity." Every effort was made to make Sunday's census a3 j reliable as possible and great interest was aroused in the matter. The enumerators were provided with cards with consecutive figures, which were ticked off as persons entered the church or chapel. The weather was, unfortu- nately, wet. and the attendance at divine worship was in consequence adversely affected. The Parson and the Enumerator. It is reported that at one of the country churches only the parson and the enumerator put in an appeara-oce. although the occasion was the harvest festival service. At another church the parson, the organist, and the enumerator composed the congregation.

MONMOUTHSHIRE EVIDENCE. Speech by Mr W. Jones, M.P. Colonel Ivor Herbert, M.P., presided at a meeting of the Monmouthshire Evidence Com- mittee (Welsh Church Commission) at the Liberal Institute, Newport, on Tuesday. Mr Wm- Jones, M. P., representative of the Exe- cutive of the National Evidence Committee, emphasised the desirability of presenting the fullest, the strongest, and at the same time the fairest case to the Commission from a Non- conformist point of view. as well as from the Welsh national standpoint. This was Wales's opportunity, and if we allowed it to pass a similar one m:Kht not recur in our lifetime. The Welsh nation had declared in favour of Disestablishment. and there was in power a Government which was in full sym- pathy with them. If w most desirable that thev should present their case not so much from » denominational or statisti- cal standpoint as from a national standpoint. What they should seek to show to the Commis- sion was that all the great national forces which had tended to elevate the people of Wales had been initiated by Nonconformists. They should seek to show the work of Noncon- r formists in education, in literature, in temper- ance, and in the general administration of the public affairs of the country. Welsh litera- ture, religious and otherwise, was in the main the literature of Nonconformists. The scholars of Wales were in the main drawn from the ranks of Nonconformists. The hon. member answered questions as to how the evidence should be collected and tabu- lated. In moving a vote of thanks to Mr Jones, Mr Lewis Efaslam, M.P., said it would be desirable to understate, rather than overstate, the Non- conformist case. If their case was fairly put before the Commissioners, without any taint of exaggeration, it would be far more effective. A committee was elected to tabulate the statistics of the census of places of worship, taken on Sunday last.

MONMOUTHSHIRE POLICE COMMITTEE. ROWDYISM IN BLACKWOOD DISTRICT. Alderman William Edwards presided at a meeting of the Monmouthshire Standing Joint Committee at Newport on Wednesday. A letter was read from Blackwood and District Trades and Labour Council asking for addi- tional police supervision at that centre, where, said the letter, there was a serious increase in the rowdyism and drunkenness. Mr V. Bosan- quet, chief constable, said another constable should be sent to tbe district. Alderman S. N. Jones said the rowdyism was not altogether due to the increased population, but the influx of labourers to the sewerage works. It was hardly safe for ladies to go out alone at night. He thought they should have two more officers there. The chief constable promised to attend to the matter. Pest of Vagrancy. The special committee which had gone into the question of vagrancy, said they had con- sidered the report of the Royal Commission on Vagrancy, and desired to draw the attention of Boards of Guardians to the matter with a view to promoting legislation for labour colonies. Alderman George Jones gave figures showing that the number of vagrants had practically doubled since 1900. There were tramps who travelled the country who would not work. and they ought to be dealt with. One man was brought before them the other day who had received fourteen days' imprisonment six times in six months. The police had known him for fourteen years, but had never known him to do a day's work. He moved that the report be adopted. Carried. Abolition of the Stocks Deplored. Alderman S. N. Jones drew the attention of the committee to the practice of chaining pri- soners together indiscriminately when t.hey were being taken from the police stations toUsK. He did not think this was the best thing to do; there certainly should be some difference shown to a first offender as compared with an old offender. Sir H. Mather Jackson said there was once an excellent institution known as the stocks, and he sometimes felt it was a pity that they had been done away with. He really thought they were almost getting too tender- hearted a-3 to how they should treat prisoners. Alderman S. N. Jones said they did not want to degrade men, but to lift, them up if they could. He moved that a committee should consider this question. Mr Alfred Onions thought that taking prisoners through the streets had a brutalising effect. Eventually j the motion was referred to a committee. The Chief Constable asked the committee | to sanction 12 mounted outfits, to cost £13 each. Alderman Harris said what he was anxious about was getting 12 policemen to keep on horses. (Laughter.) A Voice Oh We can manage that.") The recommendation was j agreed to. Crime Statistics. In his quarterly report the Chief Constable said the total number of apprehensions was 449, as against 500 in the corresponding quarter of 1905. There were 281 cases of drunkenness. as against 296. The number of prisoners for j trial at the Michaelmas Sessions on the 17th inst. was two as against 12 at tbe corresponding session. There were four persons for trial at the Assizes in November, as against eight last year.

SWANSEA WOMEN LIBERALS. Addressed by Lady Bamford Slack. The winter session of the Swansea Women's Liberal Association was opened at a meeting held at the Albert Minor Hall on Wednesday evening- Mrs Morgan B. Williams presided, and she was supported by Lady Bamford Slack, Miss Dill wyn, Mr It. L. Sails, and Mr Aeron Thomas, ex.M.P. A vote of condolence was passed with the Prime Minister on the dealh of Lady CampbeU-Bannetfman. In the course of an address, Lady Bamford Slack said the fault of women was that in the past they had not been sufficiently in earnest j and had not made their will definitely known. The women's position, therefore, instead of making any headway. had really gone back, and the Tory Government had indeed taken some of their privileges away. She moved a resolution urging on the Government to bring in a new Local Parliamentary Qualification Women's Bill as a Government measure with a view to it being passed in the autumn Session. This, she said. would give the women power to regain their position in the administration of the education of the country. This measure should be passed at once so as to be in time for the triennial elections of County Councils in the spring. There was a fear that Boards of Guar- dians would be municipalised, and before that took place they wanted to make sure women would not also lose the oppor- tunity of safe-guard ing the poor and watching the interests of the public. She urged women to utilise in local elections the votes they had, so that men who had the power to give them a particular vote might not be able to taunt them about not using the vote they already possessed. Miss Dillwyn, in seconding, said the privi- leged classes had, she hoped, had their day, and now the privileged sex had to share the fate of the privileged classes. The law now said the only way a woman could participate in the education of the children was by stooping to co-option, which placed the woman in the humiliating position 01 feeling that she was thrust down the ratepayer's throat. She herself had declined to be co-opted because ahe could not stomach the insult, and she wished other women in a similar position had followed her example, for then the late Government would have been forced to have altered their attitude and to have made women practically eligible. Mr Aeron Thomas, Mr R. L. Sails, and Mr C. H Perkins warmly supported the motion, which was carried unanimously.

TlRPHtL CHILD BURNED TO DEAT'H "You can only say accidental burning in this case. The poor little girl bad not got a mother, and that made a difference, I think." This was the sympathetic observation of Mr R. J. Rhys, coroner, at an inquest op Wednesday on the body of Janette Hayward; seven years old, the daughter of William HaywarJ, a tim- berman, residing at 18, Station-terrace, Tirphil. The evidence showed that on Friday, the 6th inst., deceased was left in the house by her elder sister. Elizabeth Hayward, whilst she went shopping, and was told not to meddle with anything. On the sister's return, how- ever, the deceased had been burned. A neigh- bour named John Evans heard the child's scream, and seeing her clothes ablaze extin- guished the flames with a coat. No one saw the accident, but it was thought her clothing became ignited by holding a potatoe to roast with an ordinary fork. The father said he had no fireguard. Accidental death was the jury's verdict. L-

CURIOUS PONTYPRIDD THEFT CHARGE. A singular charge of theft was preferred against J. Hughes Roberts, collier, Cilfynydd, at the Pontypridd Police Court on Wednesday. The evidence for the prosecution was that the defendant entered the shop of William Thomas, grocer, Cilfynydd, and tendered half-a-sovereign m payment of a bill amouniing to 3s 9d. The change was handed to him, and he left the shop. Subsequently the assistant searched for the half-sovereign and could not find ;t, and sent for defendant, who denied all knowledge of the coin. When arrested. delendant's wile said that the coin might have been amongst his mcnev, but her husband was the worst for drink. and possibly had lost it. Roberts, who was represented by Mr Charles Matthews* elected to be tried at the Quarter Sessions;, and bail was allowed.

CHURCH POSITION. South Wales Figures and Facts. LLANDAFF AND ST. DAVID'S DIOCESES. Some Remarkable Points. The article in the forthcoming" Geninen from which we quoted on Tuesday deals iu greater detail with what the Church is said to have accomplished in the dioceses of St. David's and Llandaff. The writer evidently attaches importance to the number of baptisms, for he tells us that the total number of these performed by the Church clergy in the diocese of St. David's in 1896 was 4,810, and in 1900, 5,396. Nonconformists bav o not, we believe, collected their statistics under this head, and no official record of them is kept —except in family Bibles and ministers' diaries. They form no part of the connexional record of Nonconformity—except, of course. among the Baptists, where the number of baptisms necessarily implies new communi- cants. The Diocese of St. David's. The percentage of Anglican communicants to the population for the whole of England and Wales is given as 7*4 per cent., while it is claimed that in the diocese of St. David's they number 10 per cent, of the population, the figure for 1900 being returned at 48.451. Nonconformist connexions do not give their statistics by dioceses, so that the comparative figures we give must be taken as approximate. But, as nearly as we can make them. the number of communicants in Congregational Churches in the diocese of St. David's is in round numbers 71,000, that is to say one of the four denominations alone claims 45 per cent. more communicants than does the Church. In 15 years ending 1889 the number of con- firmations show an increase of 105 per cent. of communicants' 75 per cent. of Sunday scholars, 78 per cent. Here we come across the old percentage fallacy, which was so clearly and fully exposed during Mr Chamberlain's mis- sion of mischief. It is obviously easier for a church of 10 to become a church of 20 (and thus to show 100 per cent. increase) than it would ba for a church of 100 to become a church of 200. Yet if this latter had an increase of only 20 per cent. it would have double as many new mem- bers as the church which showed "100 per cent. gained. The percentage scheme of calculation is false and misleading. Church Buildings. ¡ In the 34 years, 1840—1874, £374.453wasspenb in the diocese on228 Church buildings, new and old. This gives an annual average of. say, £1] .000 for the whole diocese For the next 20 years £192.900 was spent on new buildings and £22.2.490 on restorations, or a lotal for 20 years of £415.390, being an average of £20,JQO per annum. In the year 1904 the CongTegation- alists put up new buildings costing over .£18,000. That is to say, for every B20 contributed by the rich Churchman, landlord, capitalist, what not, the poor Nonconformist tenant farmer, labourer, workman, in one denomination aione contributed £18 for a similar purpose. Noncon- formity has no cause to be ashamed of the com- parisen Clerical Stipends. The St. David's Diocesan Fund was estab- lished in 1885. In twenty years it has collected £ 121,489—an annual average of say £6.100. In 1903 the contributions were £ 17„525, in 1904 they fell to £10.500; in 1905 they reached the high water mark of £21,710. Nonconformist contributions for the same purpose do not show these great fluctuations, but maintain a comparative level with a ten- dency to regular increase. The Calvinistic Methodists do not claim to be the strongest connexion in the diocese of St. David's, but their annual contribution to the stipends of their clergy exceed £ 18,000—and this. as com- pared with the Church average of t6,000. or even with its high water mark of £21.710, is more than creditable. Remarkable Parochial Extension. One of the -most striking instances in the whole article is that of the parish of Llanba- darnFawr, Aberystwyth, Lest we should do tbe argument an injustice by summarfsing, we give a free translation of the paragraph as it stands :— Llanbadarn Fawr is one of the most exten- sive parishes in the diocese of St. David's. Its endowments immediately after the Re- vival (? 1859-60) was £ 20—although the tithes which are paid to a Miss Chichester amount to £2.000. The present endowment of Llan- badarn amounts to £ 250; all except £ 20 having been contributed since the Revival. The following parishes were cut out of the original parish St. Michael, Aberystwytb. and its Chape! of Ease; Trinity Church, Aberystwyth Llangorwen, Capel Bangor. Elerch, Ysbytty Cynfyn, Llanychaiarn, and Penrhyncoch. The one parish has become nine, which have between them an endow- ment of £1.720. In these nine parishes there are fourteen ordained clergy and six flourish- ing Chnrch day schools. Llanbadarn is only one example of many tens of such which have been similarly cut up and endowed. The Diocese of Llandaff. Instructive figures are given showing the enormous increase of pqpulation in the indus- trial districts of Glamorgan and Monmouth- shire. As showing the indifference of the Church in a past generation, we arc told that in Aber- dare 50 or 60 years ago, with a population of 6,471, the Church had accommodation for only 170 worshippers and in the parish of Ystrady- fodwg, with a population of 3.000, accommoda- tion for 136. The aggregate of £60,000 expended by Canon Lewis in 18 years on Church buildings in the parish of Ystradfodwg j is rightly claimed as a most remarkable achievement. But when analysed, what does it amount to ? To some- thing like 10s per head of the population in 18 years, or 7d per head per annum. Then we have an instructive sidelight thrown on the manner in which much of this property in Church buildings has been obtained. The first Church extension movements were due not to an awakening in the Church, not to the small contributions of the people, but to the gifts of rich corporations and private indi- viduals. Thus the Rhymney Iron Company built a church in 1838 the Dowlais Company in 1827 and the Tredegar Company in 1836. A return showing the number and value of churches which have thus been presented by corporations or individuals, both drawing their enormous incomes from the fruit of the labour of the masses, would be far more instructive than a return showing the number and value of the new churches actually built, and credit for which is claimed for tbe Church as the Church of the people. The la'e Bishop Lewis, the most successful mendicant friar the Church in Wales in the 19th century could claim, collected from all sources jE319,144 in 20 years towards the erec- tion of new churches. This gives us an aver- age of £16,000 per annum, for, let us say, the counties of Monmouth and Glamorgan. Yet the Congregationaiistg alone spent in the year 1904 nearly three times that amount (over £46.0(0) on new chapel buildings. This fact calls for no comment, Cardiff. Interesting facts are given of the growth of the Church in Cardiff. The population in 1801 was 1,870 it is now estimated at 180,000, or nearly 100 times as many. There was only one parish church, that of St. John's, in the beginning of last century,, with a small church in Roath, outside tbe town. In 1831 the town was served by a single curate, the vicar being non-resident. In 1867 the parish of All Saints' was severed from St. John's. Now the city con- tains 13 parishes, in addition to the Seamen s Church and the Welsh Church of St. David's. There are 38 Church places of worship, and 47 clergy. That again is a highly creditable achievement. But still the Church in Cardiff to-day, on this Church defence champion's own showing, does not do so much to meet the needs of the population as it did in 1801- It has one clergyman for every 3,830 of the popu- lation, as against one for 1,870 a hundred years ago! Swansea to Uanelly. In 1831 Swansea had two churches and two resident clergy. It now contains nine parishes, 34 Church places of worship, served by a staff of 29 clergy. From 1885 to 1901 a sum of £67,240 was expended in erecting churches, £4.908 on other Church buildings, and £9,400 on Church day schools. In the adjoining parish of Oystermouth f 14.784 was collected from 1899 to 1905 for various Church purposes. In Pontardawe there has been collected £ 13,000 since 1893. In Llangvfelach 20 years ago there were only two clergymen there are now seven. £11.500 has been spent on Church buildings smce 1893. Llanelly is now divided into iour parishes, possesses 16 Church places of worship, served by a staff of 11 clergymen. Conclusions. We have no desire to minimise the import- ance of these figures. They undoubtedly show that the Church is, to say the least, more fully alive now to her responsibilities than she was in a past generation. But, and hprein lies the significance oE the whole matter, these practical results of re- cent activities havo been attained, not on the strength of the connection of the Church with the State, nor on the strength of her endow- ments, but rather in spite of these. It is by copvingand emulating Nonconformist methods I that the Church has made -t foafr* gress. Does not this point to the „oUld the interests of the Church itself, abso* to its advantage to be taught to j0yalty« lutely upon its own resources, upou the fidelity, and generosity of its er th^O and upon the devotion of its clergy r upon the State? jg vrei* Altogether, the Geninen artic worth reading, studying, and
