S.r Herbert Roberts, Bart., M.P., proposed, esid Mr J(21f Petit seconded that Sir Watkin Widiams Wynn, Bart., take the chair, and this unanimously carried. Ar Watkin, on faking the ciharlr, said he was irare they would nil agree with him in expressing xe.gvet that Co). Cornwallis AVest, the Lord hi eatena-nt of the County, was unable to be them that day. Col. West could not be pro.;>:nt bceauæ he had been called to Berlin owing' to the s.cr.ou illness of his daughter. They deeply xegTotted Col. Weet's abteince and the cause of it, as they were aware of the deep interest which tho Lord Leu ten ant, took in tho suojeet of the pieventien of spread of consumption, and it W,1,(, fitting that the movement for the Welsh Nat.onal Memorial in Denbighshire should have 001. West at its head (hear, hear). A SPLENDID START. A large number of jitters of apology for in- ability to be present were them read, including from Mr Fit/.hugh, who expressed the hope that Denbighshire would send up a eontr.buti on worthy of fhe county, and expres- sing his willingness to subscribe BlOO (applause). Mr Edgar Davies also wrote promising J310 Jcheei s) TO STAMP OUT CONSUMPTION. The Chairman then moved the following reso- lution "That this representative meeting oi the County of Denbigh heartily approves of the pro- posal to raise a memorial to the late King Edward VII., and that such memorial should take the form of a movement to stamp out and prevent as far as possible the ravages caused by tubeieulosis and consumption in Wales and Mon- mouthshire, and undertakes to give such move- ment its strongest support. Sir Watk.n said he had the privilege on Satur- day last to listen to a.n address at Welshpool fiOiii Dr. Latham, of London, on the subject of consumption, and he was thoroughly convinced of the necessity of their realising tho pressing1 jniport^oce of doing all they could at the earliest possible moment to stamp out that disease. It was suggested by eome people that matters of that, sort should bo taken in hand by the State, but they should remember that aaiy movement oi that bnd had first to be promoted either privately or by the munificence of the general publio in some other form or other. The State did not primarily initiate movements of that order. They had met that day to honour the memory 01 a sovereign the whole country res- pected (hear, ear). They all deeply regretted that the late King was taken away so suddenly, and at sueh an early age, and it was their desire to do something in h.smemory. lie was sure there was notiimg that could he doouo which was more m keeping with the wishes oi their late Kllg than that they should take steps to carry on a campaign which would lessen tne ravages of the d seaso from which eo many of the commun- lity were suffering. Wales was a black spot in that lesiK-ct—why, ho did not know. Through tcnsumptiOM Wales lost year by year many of its population, and fch-sir manlocd suffered from it. It was tihecr duty to do what they could, and he hoped those present would do their ut- most to make the memorial worthy 01 tbe.r late King (app;ause). Sir Herbert Roberts, Bart., seconded, and said lie was sure that no one doubled ior a moment the necessity of crg'anis.ng some memorial to commemorate the g'reat and beneficent reign of the late King, and Acre was no part of the Un.tod Kingdom, where the people were more anxious to perpetuate that memory than the sub-. jects of his late majesty in Wales (applause). He ielt sure that everyone in that hall that day ivere of the opi«>o>n that the memorial to the late King should find expression not in marble but in SOME LIVING MOVEMENT fraught W'th blessing to the people over whom King Edward VII. had ruled (hear, hear). He tiid not. tbnk that ff they searched their natio- nal life they would find a more lifting memoriaJ to the late King's eare for his people than the movement in which they were engaged that day, namely, the movement to arrest and ultimately stamp out tho disease of consumption. As the CJlairman had reminded them, unfortunately Wales was in a very deplorable position with re- gard to consumption. It wasditiicult to explain why it uas ;0, and they were not cabled upon to explain how in a country which had such fresh, bracing air and so few densely populated centres there was so much of the disease, but the fact xemalned that it was so. It was a fact that of the 15 counties in England and Wales having the iiigiheet mortal;ty for consumption seven of theso counties were in Wales. The county of Denbigh had for many years taken a speo.al interest in the subject of consumption. Five years ago tho County CouiHel conducted an exhaustive in- quiry into the subject under the able leadership of the Lord Lieutenant. lie w sned to express wot only his personal regret at the abac-nee of CoJ. Coniwall..s West from a meeting in further- ance of the movement in which he had taken such great interest, but also for tho cause of that 4>be»nee (hear, hear*. He did not propose to deal ■with the report of the County Counol, but he would say in justice to the members of the com- mittee prepared it that the lines taken by the National Movement followed closely on the lines and recommendations of that committee (hear, hear). He was pleased to see Mr David Davies present that duy—(cheers)—as they all wi:at lie had done, and the great interest lie was taking in the movement. THE THREE MAIN DIVISIONS OF THE MOVEMENT -were First, educational work; secondly, the pro- vision of oontral dispensaries, and thirdly, the jnovis.on of sanatoria. should remember wat the goal they had in front of thorn w.th regard to the last provision was not the cstab- lishment of o¡C huge, building for the whole of the country. That manifestly would not meet the urgent needs of the situation. As regard the educational propaganda in stamping out con- eumption the benefits would be given to the whole of the population alike. again the dispensaries would be placnd within tLc easy neaoh of every section of the population. They realise that in order to attain the objects they had in v:bw the movement must be within roach of the population as a whole. In order to achieve the goat money must be forthcoming. They knew what Mr David Davies had dene, but to was doing something more than giving a Jjrincely donat on; he was giving the movement iU8 whole-hearted devotion (applause). He oom- £1<:lIlloo the movement first to t.he rich, and thy I to those who were not rich. In order that tie movement might achieve success, it must have behind it not the few rich, but the help all according to their capac-ty. All should be in- terested in removing from our midst dread -disease of consumption (hear, hear). They should realise their duties as citizejis of a g-OJt State. IyPt them realise their obligations as affecting the welfare, the strength, ano the Ibn; of their national life. ie 'i ovemcnt not only affeeted the welfare of t" e |>'Cseiit n:'r. ticn, but the welfare of their eh.ldren's ci.id.on |aj>plause). Dr. Nathan Raw (Liverpool) supported the (resolution, and said lIe was pleased to see that the laity were taking feiteh a keen ill- terest in the moveipent, as the medical pro- fession had felt in the past that they had not JLad it. It was necessary that there should be the co-operation of the laity if they were to carry out the work which the profession advocated. The time had come when every- one who took an interest in health mattr. determined to stamp out the

UNNECESSARY DISEASE OF CONSUMP- TION. He thought that morning as he motored from Liverpool how impossible it was for consump- tion to flourish in such a beautiful climate, and in such beautiful surroundings. But it did exist, and he wished at once to say that consumption was not a. hereditary disease. They looked upon it as an infectious disease, and one which would infect healthy persons. C ace the laity thoroughly realised that fact consumption wooild, he believed, be quickly stamped out of the land. The meddcal pro- fession could not act alone in the matter. Tlicy must have the co-operation of all, as the work they had be lore them was one of great magnitude, for they were attacking a gigantic problem which affected rich and poor. Until the people realised what was to bo done they could not expect much assist- ance from them. One of the greatest difficulties at the present time was the want of hospital accommodation for oases of con- sumption, and the reason why the death rate was so high was that the poor people died in their own homes instead of being n hospitals. The result was that the people who lived an the same houses as consumptives ran the serious risk of developing the dis- ease. In all advanced cases the person suffering should be either removed to a hospi- tal o,r isolated so that they should not he a danger to the healthy members of the family. Consumption was a house disease, and it was spread by unheal thy and insani- tary houses. Until the homes of the poor were made more sanitary, better ventilated, and more fresh air allowed to enter them they would be the breeding places of con- sumption, and e LSS the disease from ON member of the to the other. They must improve the houses of the people, aaid they must remove advanced cases from the healthy members of families. At present they had no legislation which gave them power to detain people in institutions, end lie feiLt that in advanced cases of consumption peo.ple should be prohibited from living in a. bouse where there were healthy children un- less the person affected could have separate Accommodation for him or herself. At the present time there was urgent necessity to provide sanatoria in Wales, especially for-the poor. It was necessary to provide institu- tions where cases in the early stages could be dealt with, and they also required hospital accommodation for the advanced cases. I.t would be far better to provide sanatoria in various parts of Wales than to erect large institutions, aad he assured those present that there was NO DISEASE SO CURABLE AS CON- SUMPTION if it was properly treated in its early stages. Even advanced cases could he cured if put in proper surroundings. The provision of surtable sanatoria would restore many years of useful life to the working-class community. One of the most urgent needs of the pr -seut time was the safeguarding of the milk sup- ply (hear, hear). A very large percentage of dairy cattle were affected with tuberculosis, and they should make a serious attempt to stamp that out, Ifut it would eoGt millions of money. He was pleased to see that there "5 to be such a splendid memorial to the lyte King it would be one of the finest men that Wales ever set its hands to. Future generations would look upon it as a. 'amui'gu which the whole human race (ap- pl.ans,e). LORD KENYON'S SUPPORT. Lord Ken yon also supported the resolution, and said that when Mr David Davies first ior- mulated his scheme, he was asked to i. e a member of the committee, and lie consented, after "considerable He was con- vinced that Wales could not have a finer mem- orial to the Late King, because if there was one quality .in tJiek* late Sovereign which stood t out beyond all others it was his love of humanity (applause). Everything which ap- pertained to humanity found interest in King Edward, whethe;r it was sport, business, or the public health. They remembered how their late Sovereign placed a large sum which was handed to him to do what he liked with for the establishment of a sanatorium for con- sumptives. He thought Wales could not have a more fitting memorial to the late King thaii the establishing of sanatoria. What Dr. Raw had said as to consumption being curable inspired them with great hops (applause). He agreed that the means for curing and stamp- ing out the disease should be within the reach of all, and there was no danger of one large central establishment being erected. THE FIRST THING WAS TO EDUCATE THE PEOPLE as to the nature of the disease, and the sim- ple methods necessary for tackling it. The value of fresh air, cleanliness of houses, and freedom from dust and contact w.ith those suffering from the disease were a. few of the simple remedies they would have to teach the people. Lecturers would go through Wales, and they would explain to the people in sim- ple language what was required of them. If sufficient money was forthcoming, sanatoria would be erected in every county. He did not believe that the buildings should be large ones. They should be small and of cheap material, so that when they became infected they should be burnt. He was pleased to say that Colonel Cornwallis West, who took such a deep interest in the movement, had been elected a. member of the Finance Committee of the Welsh National Memorial (applause). In conclusion, he hoped that everyone would in- terest themselves in the movement, as there were few who had not come in contact with sufferers from the disease, and who realised the great benefits which sueh a movement would bring (applause\ MR DAVID DAVIE.? ON THE OB- JECTS I IEW. Mr David Davies, in supporting the resolution, said he was pleased to have been present that d.ay, and to have listened to the epeech of Sir Herbert Roberts, who took such a deep interest in movements which benefited the people. They knew that Sir Herbert Ro- berts was greatly interested in temperance, and he (the speaker) considered that the crusade against consumption was also closely allied with temperance, as it was a. matter which a fleeted the nation's health. In the movement in which they were that day in- terested they were doing something to pro- mote the nation's health. As to the objects of the movement, ho considered it a national dis- grace that they allowed the present state of things with regard to consumption to exist. They had done little in the past as a nation to promote national health. In Wales hey had spent vast Bums of money on their uni- versity colleges, their intermediate education, their literature, and their Cymr odor ion So- j cieties, but in the past very little attention had been paid to the question of national health. The Welsh had paid attention to the soul and mind, but they had done very little for the health of the people, and unless they had sound bodies no nation could be success- ful in the stress of life. Tliey must all feel a secret shame that they were hopelessly backward in dealing with consumption, and that in any movement towards promoting na.t:onaJ health it was their first dutv to con- centrate their attention upon stamping eut consumption (hear, hear). Their duty was very simple, and the memorial movement gave them the opportunity of taking the question up as national one, and of wiping out the terrible scourge (applause). 'ihey //anted 11:300,000 as the minimum sum to becalm .1 at in order to start the campaign, as Ln de- sired thlt it should he enet-owed from" tlie start, and that theae should be no necessity for going round with the hat year after year (hear, hear). They wanted to keep in torch with every case 01 consumption, and thov 1 e- lieved that they wouJd be able to support their t.anatoriu with contributions irom County Councils, Friendly Societies, Trades Unions, as at the present- time largo sums of»money were annually paid out to sick members of Friendly Societies, who suffered from consumption. lie hoped that they would have house-to-house coiieetions, ae tlie larger number oi pÇop,, they could get i.nteieswd in tlie movement the greater .vou.d j be its benento. It the cause of huma-i'ty they were advocating that day, and it v. as also the cause oi ioyadty (applause). The resolution was then put to tiie meeting, and carried unanimously. Trm FORMED. Mr J.

B. Evans, Wrexham; Dr. J. Medwyn Hughej, Ruthin, and Dr. J. Lloyd, Chirk, with power to add to their number. The speaker added that he dm red to say he was in thorough symnatny with the g-T0a. movement, and believed that when it was put into o|>era- tio-n t would be a great boon and blessing to Wales (applause). Dr. Llew. Williams, Wrexham, seconded, and said t.he medical profe.-ision thoroughly approved of tho form the mcmoriaJ had taken, and <t3 Welshmen they should Ix proud of the efforts Mr David Davies had made (applause). The com.ro had taken a broad-minded view of tho question, and they were agreed as to the principle of placing small sanatoria in various parta of Wales. There was an excellent site for such a. sanatorium for Denbighshire and iiiniskiir bJ) ween East and West Denbigh- shire. He was glad that the work of educa- tion was to go on, and that lecturers wc/uld be ajTpainted to 'teach .iie people what was neces- sary in cleajilines; and hygiene in the homes and the value ( fresh air. He also hoped that tlhe peoplo would adopt A MORE RATIONAL DIET, a.nd that they would have more of porridge, bu: 6ermilk and potatoes and less of tea (laugh- ter and applause). They had heard that day of the report of the County Council inquiry into consumption, a.nd he was pleased to say th-To whereas when '.he committee sat the ryu deaths were 1.25 the death-rate in Denbigh- shire from consumption had now fallen to .66. That was a splendid decrease, 00 that the work of .he County Council had not been in vain. Liverpool's rate wa-s 1.13, so that Denbighshire compared very favourably with that city (hear, hear). Ho hoped that the campaign again&t coiisumpi ion would be so waged that in a few years the Medical Officer for Denbighshire wou'd be able to report that not a singile deaith from that disease had taken place in the ooun) v, and thai he would receive a pair of white gloves in the same way as the Judge received th-cm when there were no oa -cs to try at the as izes.

They mui.. have something ehe besides a sanatoria. They must have facili- ties for short ao well as for lengthy stays. Some people imagined that patients could be cured if they merely looked a!„ a sanatoria. I BEN EV AN. Ben Evans, the captain of the Pwllheli football team, is a native of Conway, and son of the lato Captain E. Evans. Twenty-four years of age, he started paying for Conway town team at the age of 16, and played in the hnai for the Junior Cup for them against Bangor, when Conway won the cup. He has also played for Newtown North End and Newtown Royal Welsh Warehouse (Montgomeryshire League), Blaenau Festiniog, and Fortmadoe, figuring in every'position of the forward and half-back line. He is managing clerk for Mr O. Robyns-Owen, solicitor, Pwllheli, and is a sergeant with the leeal Territorials. When he was sixte< n years of age he was presented with the Royal Humane Society certificate for savin"- a comrade from drowning under the Conway Bridge He is a school comrade of Harold Pear- son, of tne Llandudno Amateurs, both being at the County School, Llandudno, at the same time. If they wished to arrest the disease so that pot.p.e eouid return to tneir work they must also provide means for them to Jive. In the a,ii;o way tliey could nee expect cures un- less patients could have treatment, for a long tune. As to the clas of buddings required lie urged they biiOULD NOT PROVIDE ELABORATE STRUCTURES. The more simple the building the c,asier it was to dhenieet it, and they should always remem- ber that it was more aavanced ca;es which were tHe source of danger '.o the community. Another point he whitied to press home was the fact that with ca.re tiiere wa5 no danger to these who came in ooj.aet with consumptives. It was only where there was carelessness that there v. as danger, and sanatoria were 110ft the hotbeds of consumption some people made out. An-a her point he a'-Ya wished to press horne was this: Of quack medicines they had millions, and they were absolutely uoeless ior tho,cure of consumption. They were, in fact, absolute frau'ii, yet people would spend poundi and consume rubbish in the bx.d that '.hey could be cured by them. One ni.ueh-advert.sed so- called remedy vvaj nothing more than water and cinnamon (laughter). if the people gave the money they spent on quack medicines for the "cure of consumption t.o. furthering objects such as they had in ha.nd tha.t dûy they wou.d have sufficient money .o successfully carry on the campaign to stamp out consumption. The resolution was then put to the meeting, and carried unanimous-h. SECRETARY PRO TEM. On -.Iio motion of the Chairman, seconded by Mr Joit Potit, and supported by Air D. S. Da\ ic.s, Mr R. C.

In reply, Sir Watkin remarked that if the country could Mtamp out small-j>ox it could also stamp out consumption. He was determined to throw his whole energy into the work, and hoped they would get in subscriptions, looking after the shillings as well as alitor the pounds (applause).

CLERGY SUSTENTATION AND PENSIONS. THE BEST FORM OF CHURCH DEFENCE. INTERESTING SPEECH AT RHYL BY THE HON. LAURENCE BRODRICK. On Monday afternoon a. large and repre- sentative meeting of Church people from the Deaneries of St. Asaph, Denbigh, and Rhos was held at the Rhyl Church House for the purpose of considering matters connected with the Clergy Sustentation Fund and Clergy Pensions. The meeting was organised by the Hon. Laurence Brodrick, who has for sever ail years taken a deep interest in the subject of clergy sustentation. A TRIBUTE TO THE LATE MR P. P. PENNANT. The chair was occupied by Archdeacon T. Lloyd, vicar of Rhyl, who in his opening re- marks expressed regret that the Rev. T. W. Vaughan (Rural Dean of St. Asaph) was un- able to be present. Mr Yaughan, as they were aware, was recovering from a serious illness, and he did not think it wise to ven- ture out in such inclement weather. He (the Archdeacon) had been asked to apologise for his absence. When that- meeting was first air- ranged, Mr P. P. Pennant undertook to pre- side. Mir Pennant had from the very com- mencement been chairman of 'the Queen Vie- toria Clergy Sustentation Fund for the Dea-u-eTy of S.t. Asaph, and he was sure that all present regretted the loss which they had sustained by the death of Mr Pennant, who had left he hind him a gap in almost all Chureli organisations in the diocese, since he had been ever ready to help in Church matters. In fact, the late Mr Pennant could be counted upon to attend every Church gathering no matter to what inconvenience to himself (hear, hear). THE OBJECT OF THE MEETING. Dealing with the objects of the meeting, the Archdeacon proceeded to say it had been called in order that information might be given to Churchpeople in regard to the work of certain Church Societies, and to show how they could help in the work connected with them. The whole of the Church at the pre- sent time was feeling the need of an adequate supply of ministers, and there was a society which was working quietly in the dioceses of Bangor and St. Asaph called the Clergy Education Society. That society was laving th.o foundation for a better supply of well- trained candidates for the ministry in the future. Then again the Queen Victoria Clergy Sustenlation Fund, under the pre- sidency of the Hon. Laurence. Brodrick, had done a great deal of work with persistent energy and zeal, and with a large measure of success (hea,r, hear). The object of that society was to bring the value of small livings to the minimum of £200 per annum. It lied also been for some time a serious blot on the organisation of the Chureli that anincum- beiit was not able to retire on an adequate pension when from old age, infirmity, or other causes he should do so. The society Was now providing pensions for those, and he com- mended to the audience the objects of that eocioty. SPEECH BY THE HON. LAURENCE BRODRICK. The Hon. Laurence Brodrick said he con- sidered in the first place that it was his dutv and pleasure to thank present who in tlie past helped the societv. Tht help was by no means small. The collectors and parochial secretaries had for some ten vears, during whicn he had been connectcd with the fund, worked hard for the good of the fund, for the good of the clergy. a.nd for the good of the Church as a, whole. To them he tendered his sincerest thanks. He wished to address them as fellow-worker in a good cause and to advise as to the methods to be adopted to push forward the great work they had in hand, and bring that work to an even more successful position than it was at the present day. The chairman had al- ready referred to some of the steps which had been taken to remedy defects in the Church's organisation. If they took that portion of the diocese of St. and loosed round that would observe two main means of promoting the spiritual dife in that part of the country. One was church buildings, and the other was the men. Thev would agiee with him that thev were reasonably supplied with buildings. They saw beautiful churches, many of them handed down as precious gifts received from their forefathers —churches well equipped, well ventilated and beautifully fitted for their work. They had no anxiety on that score. But let them look at the other part. Let them take THE LIVING AGENT: tho next great bra h. lie referred to tlhe men vviio were appointed .00 carry on the work of the Chuicn, to radiate the work from the Church, to the laity. He a.kc.cJ whether that need was equally adequately met wrh. At a cursory glance .hey might ocnciudo that it was so, as in every parish there was a minister but they looked deeper they would see in many oa63 that the provision was far from adequate, and that there was not a livimr wa^e for the living agent. 'That brough* him'^to the question of. clergy sustentation. People often asked what was meant by that term. The main object of the Cergy Susieo ation Fund was to see tlhat in every parish the minimum stipend of :f200 per annum should be assured incumbent. It was a modeit minimum if a man was to be insured against coniiinued care and anxiety, and to be left free to think of higher and better things, which" tlhe laity expected of their minister. Tiuat was .he first aim, but to that the society had lately added another. It felt that more adequate pro- vision should be made to enable a. clergyman who wished to retire when age and infirmity came upon him to do so, and to bo sure of re- ceiving a pension of £..00 per annum. That was not an excessive sum, and it was one plish might be improved upon later. The ag-e tixed was 65, and it nngiit be to some that no provision had been made for retirement until now. In almost every ccher profession there was a provision, but in the Church "there was none. It was necessary thai. funds should be forthcoming to enable the society ,o accom- p.h the aims and objects it had eet before it. As regards getting in sab.criptions lie knew t-he.it i. was often a difficult and a vory unplea- sant task, but the body of workers in that'dio- cese were second to none in their devotion to the work, in their perseverance, and in their success, as the repor. showed. The next point to be co-Hade red wa3 whether there was any necessity for collecting? He thought tiiere was. Although the Ecclesva < ucal Commission- eis ii-d grants to some 15 or 16 parishes there wcr still one quarter of the livings in the diocese which did not come up to per annum. He regretted to say that people were lamentably ignorant of what the clergy- men in thefir own districts received, and one gentleman had spoken of the clergy in Lis dis- being well paid, on referring to the Diocean Calendar it was found that while in a. partieu.ar deanery there were some, livings over £50 per annum there were more one third under £120. Pursuing- the subject fur- ther he found that one clergyman after 25 service in a parish was receiving per annum; ano.her wi h 40 service had £¿4, and another with 30 years' service £95. Such a state of things was A SCANDAL 10 THE CHURCH (hear, hoar). There was another thing which did not always occur to people who 'had not otiidied the subject. Although a clergyman's cfiicial income might be slated to be £::0>. dc- dUctiuki fc.r ratB, and taxes often reduced it by £40, and tho parson was the only man who wa.s taxed and rated on his official income. He feJ. that the need of fu-ndj had been amply proved (hear, boar). The funds they already had came to £1300 or per annum, and they had about 3CGJ subtcribors (applause). That was a larger number than in any vthcr dioocse, but while it was very good they ehoaid do hot- ter, as last Easter there were in the dlocs^o 28-000 conimunicah s. If they made a liberal allowance for those who contributed olfertcrisa there were slid many who did not subscribe to the funds cf the society. If cach communi- cant gave but Is they provide a fund which would enable them to accomplish .hat which ihey had set out to do. Looking through the reports he found abo that many parishes did not give an oliertory to the fund. That should be ree- ihed. As to the methods of dis- tribution, the committee* of which the majority were laymen, sat for many lWelr, considering how .o distribute the funds. He wanted to keep the fund up to a. high level, and they wanted all classes eiJusted for tho work. At present the class callsd "tho idle rich did give a great deal of time to the work, and lie wanted the wo;kingmen, the tradesmen, and the farmers to lend a helping hand. Every section of the com- munity was represented at that meeting, and he thought thdt was typ cal of the diocese gene- rallv, and of the interest taken in the work. Again, fie urged that the work of clergy susten- tation was THE BEST FORM OF CHURCH DEFENCE that could be undertaken (applause). There that could be undertaken (applause). There might be stormy times before the Church, and while lie did not want to go into political mat- fcrs, be said that the best form of Church de- fence was to place the Church in the highest possible state of efficiency for It3 work in every parish throughout the kingdom (applause). Not only was that good for every parish, but it was good for Wales as a whole. It was necessary that there should be spiritual work when so much consideration was given to material prosperity. They should labour for it in season and out oi season, as they had done for years, and, lie truslcd, would do for many years to come. Let them strive tOIUke themselves and their neigh- bours bcttr, more loyal, and more God-fearing citizens of the Empire (nppJause).

He feit that the fact that tho minutes of the Council were allow- ed become public. property7 i!l this manner, rdkGtd unfavourably on the members of tho Council. Although t aero was nothing to hide, he contended it was advisable, for the welfare of the commun.ty, to keep some things private. He would like to know when the contract with tho printers who pr.nt< d the minutes expired The Clerk: There is no time .sjiecined. The same firm have done the work s.nce 1903, but you are at liberty to change printers if you de- ile, and are not sat sued with the manner the work is carried on. Rev. J. LI.

The Council went to a great deal of trouble in regard to the matter, and acted in unity with the Dolvvyddelen Parish Council, the members of which knew every movement as the ripened. Mr W.

I had nothing to do with the opposition. As to what has taken place b3- tween this Council and the Parish Council, I heard that matters were not so clear, but now I am satisfied that everything was so. Mr D. G. Jones: We went out of our way to the Parish Council. I Mr W. Evans: If the opposition were allow- ed access to the minutes of this Council, ii was only fair that the Parish Council should have been accorded the same privilege. I do not see myself much harm in the mirutes being pub- lished. • I Mr D. G. Jones: There would be no objection provided the opposition h-ad applied to tho Coun- cil for the minutes. What I object to is that they got hold of them without any reference to they got hold of 1he-m without any reference to this authority. Had they applied for the min- utes, the probability is that they would have bæn adowed to fRe them. Mr LJ. G. Jones: Perhaps the local press pub- lished them. Mr D. G. Jones: No. In that case I would not have said anything, but wo have already refused to allow the pressmen to have a copy of our minutes. The Chairman: I very much doubt whether the ratepayers have a right to demand an in- spection ci our minutes. Mr D. G. Jo nets: They must first be granted permission. The Clerk: Do you wish to consider the ques- tion of printing the minutes ? Rev. J. Ll. Richards: The question is, is the contract for 12 months or for any specified time? The Clerk: You are at liberty to change at any time you wish. On t.he motion of Mr D. G. Jones, seconded by Rev. J. LJ. Richards, it was decided to advertise for tenders for printing the minutes, but to allow tho present contractors an oppor- tunity to tender. VITAL STATISTICS.

A full and accurate report of the proceedings had appared in the Pi which he felt no doubt had been read by all the members. There was a large •number of ratepayers present, amongst, whom were a few who raised objection to the sehc-mo th ">ugh their solicitor, ift R. O.. Davies. Per- sonally, he felt that the objo-ci of the opposi- tio 1 was to attempt to ridicule Ihe modeller ot the scheme. They found out that he had se- cured the services of the County Surveyor 10 assist Personally, he felt deeply indebted to the Engineer for having obtained tho assist- ance of such a distinguished public official, which proved that he fully appreciated tne importance of the work entrusted to him by this Council (hear, hear). The opposition was excep- tionally feeble. The worst thing they could think of was that too much mvmey would be spent on. the dam, and that the water could be supplied irom the Diweinydd Lakes w tho at an embankment. But when this matter was gone into, it transpired that an embankment, which would cose an enormous fi n, would be required at Diweinydd, so that that theory ied through. Mr Foster suggested a scheme to get the supoly from Bryntirion. But who would dream or having a reservoir in such a place ? The land surroiirding Bryntirion was cultivated, while cattle grazed in the vicinity, but on the o- chosen by the Counc.l there was no I- i i ty of pollution, so he earnestly hoped tins scheme would be sanctioned (hear, hear). A vote of thanks was accorded Mr Jones for his rerort.

YALE OF CONWAY NOTES. The action brought against the Urban Council by Mr C. Iszoed Jones is the chief subject at 1 present under discussion in the valley, the various phases of the case being followed with the keenest le interest. The report of the action which ap- peared in our columns last week enabled the p to grasp the situation, the "Pioneer" and the Wales Chronicle" being the only papers to have a full report published. Considerable satisfaction has been caused locally bv the Rev W Thomas' remarks on foot- ball at the C.M. Association meeting at Holy- head. < » Testimony from such a quarter of the excellent conduct ol the spectators at the matches held at Cwvdr Park should arouse more interest in the national game and better support fiom ministers and elders of the various denominations. Mr Thomas is to be commended for his courage over this matter. ft » • A large section of the road leading from Gwydr Castle to Beitwsycoed at present presents the ap- pearance ol a quarry, the metalling in places be mg abnormally large. It is said that, the autlu- rity responsible for the upkeep of the road docs not intend rolling it. This thoroughfare has be- rome a favourite route for motor-cars and other vehicles, but such traffic for a long time to come will be impossible. It is to be hoped the autho- rity will awake to its respons.bility. It should nut leave one of the most intcrestmg roads in the valley in such a condition. It is gratifying to find that the Trcfrivv Council have at last decided to repair the bridge near the Fairy Falls. Trefriw is essentially a holiday and health resort, but to enable the district to successfully compete with other similar resorts the community must cater for the comfort and safety of the visitors who aniiuahv patronise them. < < The Fairy Falls is one of the beauty spots of the valley, and it is naturally important that.it. cnvironnicnts should be in keeping with it A dilapidated and decaying wooden bridge seriously mars the beauty of the spot, so it is to be hoped the Council will constitute a suitable structure. 1t' # Betlwsycocd Council after years of delay at last appear to be seriously considering the urgent necessity for supplying the village with an ade quaie supply of pure water. The absence of a good supply has handicapped the development f the picturesque village. Most of the members of tlie present Council appear to be cognisant ->f this fact and are anxious to proceed with _:he necessary work without delay.

Caurch was to maintain the highest standard of efficiency they must have an efficient ministry. If they were to maintain the Church's suprcmacy 111 religious thought they must maintain the living agent. In order to do the work that was needed they must have the man. It was useless having fine churches and vicarages, and comfort- able mission rooms and schools if they lacked the men. Dealing with the question as to why the Church was not receiving of the best. the speaker said the clergyman was ridiculed in plays, in the home, and in books, and voung men when they saw that sort of thing going on did not like to respond to the call. He asked parents and all interested in Church work to lose no opportunity of giving to the minislrv that high place to which it was entitled, and which it had received in days past. While the question of clergy pensions affected the whole subject in every phrase, yet money had never been the goal wmch had brought the best men into the ministry. It was necessary that they should have efficient service in the Church, but what prospects were held out to the best to enter the iii-ii;-try, Was it right that after a man had been induced to join the Church, and had given the best vears of li s life that he should see no Drospccts fcr his old age. If a man knew that when he was infirm or old he could retire on a pension mat- ters might be different. Many men realised that they should retire, and that it was in the best interests of the Church that they should do so. but to many retirement meant practically starva- tion. There were talks of compulsory retirement, but it was useless to speak of that without pro- viding the means. Once pensions were estab- lished they could be used as a lever in the hands of Churchmen to bring about efficient service. It might be said that some men would not go even though they had a pension. That he was prepared to leave to public opinion. Tlie speaker then referred to tile work of the Clergy Pension Association and to the Ecclesiastical Insurance Office, anf said that pensions were provided out of the available funds at the disposal of the committee, and it was upon the basis pet up by the office that the Archbishops' Committee had worked. The Ecclesiastical Insurance Office had already distributed £ 97,COD in the work of the Church, and he claimed that whatever Church insurance there, was should go through that office, which was not in competition with env- oi her commercial concern. It had a prior claim upon Churchmen, as the larger measure of sup- port it received the larger share of help it could give the Church. Trey had to maintain and continue an efficient ministry, was every- thing. J In proposing a vote of thanks to the speakers, I Mr R. M. Hugh Jones said he hoped that addi- tional interest would be taken in the society after that meeting, and added that if every communi- cant in Rhyl gave Is per annum £ 70 per annum would be handed over to the socie'y. Col. Heaton seconded, and urged that matters of that sort should be done by individuals and not by corporate bodies. The larger number of small contributions received the greater would be interest. The vote of thanks having been carried, Mr Brodrick moved "a vote of thanks to Archdeacon Lloyd for presiding. At the close of tlie meeting Mr and Mrs Brodrick entertained the comprny to tea.
