CHURCH DEFENCE MEETING AT DENBIGH. CiSHDP OF ST. ASAPH'S GTiRniNC SPEECH. THE STRENGTH OF THE CHURCH IN WALES. Speaking at a crowded Church Dodfanos faceting at Denbigh, on Tuesday e'veaieiBg, tote- Biahop to' L St. Asaph, in the c-ourse of a. rousing speech, referred to the fact that not ten peir ocnt. of the whiAili aanouaited to about £121,000, was paid by. Nor.cen- foruik>ts in Wales, and it was certain that if the endowments were taken away for sccular purpocee much of tho good work that had bean carried on in all their different parishes would be ee-riousCy ccipp!ed. It vproved by the Royal Commission that the Church vr-os the strongest singlo dcacoair. atioei in Wales, and he appaakd to Nonconformists a.s Christiains, did tohey think that the weaken- ing of til. strongest religious body in W aJ \¿"lLd tend to help the work of Cii'iiist in this country? Was it right to weaken a body [which was going to lic.p in the battle agaenst evil, against dl u>uken;!Xtr,:d, dashoresty, and imnionaiity, and ail the other iL6 of mcdom tlliK8? Would the weakening of that body strengthen the hands of those who were dccscg good work in the town of Den- bigh? (hear, hear). He asked them to put it before thcor conscience, and ask did they think that they were going to help the cause of Christ by such a policy of spoliation (loud cries of "No," amd a solitary cry of "Yes, certainly"). There wes ocastdera-ble interruption for a time, and the interrupter: stated that the Nc-aieonfciranists could not holp the policy they puiGued. The B-isliop said the gent'i&man who had interrupted evidently belfieved each a policy, but had -an-sweoed the question courteously, and the audience were able to judge whether ha was right or wrong (loud cheers). The Golitariacts of the objectcica eeeaned in his mird to strengthen the argu- ment (loud cheers). However, he wanted this point to go home too the minds of ell Christian men and women in Denbigh. Were they going to support the cause of Chritit by supporting this policy ? Let them put it to their Nonconformist; friends in a kindly azid friendly spirit, and he was not afraid of the answer (loud telie errs*. Such a revolution would not only aficet the Church in W-alcfi. but aU otlbe religious bodies as 'well. Let them take the liistc.ry er religion in Wales fee the last hundred years. He would ask, merely as an historian, where were his Nonconformist brethren during that time Where did they look to for a standard of doctrine? He would not say that they looked to the Bishops, but he would say that they looked to the Church of England. Where. might ho ask, did they find a higher stan- dard of toleration in Wales at present than in the Church of England? He did not want to hurt the feelings of his Nonconformist brethren, but he met a strong politician in the train the other day, who was also a Nonconformist min- ister. That gentleman told him: "Well, you know that I have grcrit respect for the Church, but I have been speaking in favour of■ Disestab- lishment, but I tell you privately I would much rather jo n the Church"—and he mentioned another denomination that he (the Bishop) would iMt mention. The point was th's. He was not at all sure that his Nonconformist friends wero in absolute toleration and amity among them- selves. For true toleration in Wales, he thought that they would have to look for it to the Estab- lished Church. STRENGTH OF THE CHURCH IN WALES. In regard to the report of the Royal Coirfm.s- sion, it pointed to this main fact that the Church was fur and away the strongest denomination in Wales. One would probably say that the Welsh Calvinistie Methodists wore the strongest body in Wales amongst the Nonconformists, but what percentage of the population did they think ti z, Cdlviiiii-tic Methodists were in the counties of Glamorgan and Monmouthshire, which oontained half the population of Wales? Why, they were not one in 2.), and the same could be said about the Bapt stg. The fact was that the Church was everywhere, whilst the Nonconformists were only strong in certain patches. The Church was all ever Wales, and this was an important fact to remember. Assuming for a moment that th-o Church was disendowed and disestablished; he would ask what would be the condition of things in Wales? Did they ever think of the intense bitterness which had its root in injustice, and which would be in the heart of every Welsh Churchman throughout the Principality? He wanted them to remember that a measure of dis- W, endowment was an act of injustice, and they could not pass it into law without causing suffer- ing to the whole community. He wanted to make it clear that the Nonconformists looked for their standard of doctrine to the Church of England. In his hand he held the trust deed of the Welsh Calvinistic lucthodists cause, and it b"£wn with those words, "There shall be for ever after a Connexion called the Calvinistic Connex- ion. The object of the Connexion has been end shall be the promulgation of the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ as set forth in the Articles gu the Church of England." A WORD TO NONCONFORMISTS. In conclusion the Bishop said he oould not tell them exactly how long the Church had been in Denbigh. He supposed that it had been in St. Asaph for 14CO years, and he had also heard that it had been in Denbigh for about 1200 years, and it taught pract cally the same doctrine to-day as it ,hI then. He had just mentioned the Welsh Calvinistie body. Next year they would be cele- brating their centenary-only one hundred years (laughter). "Don't laugh," his Lordship con- tinued, "I w sh them God-speed in all their good work. I have told you the spirit in whicji the Calvinistie Methodists started, that they started their denomination by promulgating the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to the articles of the Church of England. Can we, as members of the Church of England, wish anything but God speed to people that are doing that work?" (hear, hear). But lie wished to say a word to the Nonconformists before their centenary came round. Let them remember the rock from wheh they were hewn. It would be a pitiful thing to see them turn round on the occasion of their centenary and hack in pieces their aged parent (loud applause). He could not believe that they ,would lend their hands to that without realising- what it meant. They are there in Denbigh to defend the Church, the greatest heritage they ever received, and they must not forget what they owed to those who came before them and the duty they owed to those who would come after them (loud and prolonged cheering).

CARNARVON BOROUGHS. (Continuation from 9th page.) MR HERBERT LEWIS AT D £ GMWY. "WRECKED" LIBERAL MEASURES. Alderman A. Nether wood presided over a well- attenxiod Liberal moe-tinig hoid at the' Pcniel C.M. Chapel, De-gar, wy, yesterday (Wednesday) cveiling, when Mr J. Herbert Lewis, M.P. de- li \eiod 3Jl dL.I'2: Mr Lewie dealt at. groat longth with tho House of Lods question. Ho said that the majority, \\L<h iie confidently predicted the Liberal Party were going to s'un—(hear,, h-)- w';13£oin:; to have a remarkable cf1.çct on tho coiiiiitry (cheers). The ci tdie Govern- ment would be decided upon according to tnat majority (hear, hear). The Liberal Government irad during tne. tonm of office done the best they possibly under the eirouinsita«noee for tho people—(hear, hear),—and no otlietr Govern- ment had ever aitompfced so much scoial work. I "i --vy wouJd Lave aoi.einvplisifcd a great deal more if tLeir hands had boem free—(hoar, near), and they intended in the future, with the co-opera- tion of tho worker and the e.-nployer, to do RHiKtiling at any rate to solve erne of thess ter- rible pioblema which a blsgfating cihadew upon human life (cheers). Who was the 'man that was going to do it? Tne man who that dfcy asked tor, a:nd was going to receive in over-* v, mumburs their suffrage at the polls in. the Carnarvon Boroughs (loud cheers). Refer- r.ng to the Budget, Sir Lewis said that with all due respect to preceding Chancellors of the Exchequer—and their liimcs stood out brilliant- ly in the role of Engheih Statesmen—the great- est and ffiCtet beneficent Bxidget of all was toai oi Mr Lloyd George (hear, hear). The presant election was more or fc«8 a fight for fairplay between one citizen and anotiior. The verdict oi the election of 1906 was as emphatic a verdict as any people ever recorded at the polls. The greater part of the first session had been devoted to the Education Bill. It had been carried in the Housa oi and then sent up to tihe Lords who represented nobody but tho.neelvej. lie well remembered hovV 46-very member in. tihe House h-ad hung, as it were, upon the lips of Mr Balfour, and' then they (had heard him pronounce the doom of that Education Bill. From the lips of no-irly every member in the House had buret the one word!, "Wrecked." The House of Lords had ricked the work of the eettion, and defied the House of Cammeais. They v, e--o then told that if they did not like it they c-o-uld go to the country and have another General Election. Then the same -tiling 'had happened with the Licensing Bill. Mr Balfour, however, was able to take his own Bills through as easily as if they were run on oil castors, not- withstanding the fact that his Bills related to similar matters as those of the Liberals, namely, Licensing and Education. What they wanted was to do away with the Veto, and not form the House of Lords. Lord Hæbery was a "Daniel brought to judgment," for he had been speaking, v.hen he was Liberal Prime Minis- let-, against jefcrming the Second Chamber, and was then in favour of abolishing the Veto alto- gethor. Mr Balfoun had given them a peldgo with regard to Tariff Reform being submitted to a Referendum. The pledge was made on tho eve of a general election. He wcii remembered bong in the House cf Commons in May, 1905, when Mr Balfour wa.s asked the question: "Is not the hon. member bound by the terms of his Edinburgh speech?" That was in connection with the Colonial Conference, and Mr Balfour's reply had been "No, sir!" Had thQY over- heard anything more rcmaikuble (cries of No! no! and laughter). They knew what value to attach to the pledge. The "Morning Post" had advised candidates to make the utmost use of the pledge before the election, and afterwaids the matter oould be con- s,ideredin all its bearings (laughter). They had had the remarkable spectacle of seeing news- papers actually quarrelling with one another openly, and under the very eyes of the voters, whom they wore supposed to instruct as to whether it was right to give a pledge of that kind cr not, and as to the probability c; its being carried out. Many Tariff Reform candidates told theum that it was not going to be carried out at all. He iippcaied not only to Liberals, but to all fair minded people, to vote for fairplay at the forthcoming election (hear, hear). They wanted no advantage, no privilege, no concession. He wanted them to reward the distinguished services of the great statesman who honoured the Car- narvon Boroughs by representing them in Parlia- ment (hear, hear). On the one hand, justee and fan-play, on the other gratitude and admiration. He appealed to them at that election, which was going to be an historic election, to do more for Mr Lloyd George than they had done before (hear, hear). After all, when he and everyone in that room, wodd long have become dust, there would still remain in the history of the nation the glory otf Mr Lloyd George's constituency, tho glory of a constituency which was faithful to Lloyd George from beginning to end (loud cheers). A resolution of confidence in Mr Lloyd George and the Government was carried.
