William?, of Ptmtyeelyn. Mr. Lletrelyn Williams, M.P., Mid that Williams^ poetry represented the struggle for emani- cipation. The epeaker Earned his audi- ence that the lo&a of the Welsh language Would uiton the loss of Pantycelyn'^ in. fluence, for thd characteristic quality of Welsh hymns was untranslatable.

Lieut.-col.

The Rev. W. E. Prytherch. who was one of the special preachers on Wednesday and Thursday evening, followed.
