I CHURCH NOTES. 1 {From a Correspondent). The allocation of different Sundays for special purposes may in some instances be open to critic- ism, but the observance of "National Church Sunday" has everything to recommend it. By well-established custom the sixteenth Sunday after Trinity is set apart for that purpose, owing in part to the singular appropriateness of the Col- lect for the day. I It contains the well-known pass- age, "Let 1hy continual pity cleanse and de- fend Thy Church," a passage which the late Arch- bishop Benson continually quoted as representing what should be the aim and work of all true Churchmen—reform and defence. "National Church Sunday" this year falls on September 19th, and it is hoped that it will be more widely observed than ever. The Central Church Com- mittee for Defence and Instruction have memo- rialised the beneficed clergy on the subject, and it is generally felt that in view of the passing of the Welsh Church Act and of the practical certainty that before it can become operative it will have to be reconsidered, the time is singu- larly opportune for putting before congregations the soundness of the principles which govern the Church defence movement. Moreover, it is the one Sunday in the year when the alms of he people may appropriately be asked on behalf of the cause. If every parish gave the collections for the day to this object, the result would be so to strengthen the work of the Central Church Committee that it could very considerably ex- tend its influence. It is now generally recognised that Church- people adopted a most patriotic course in sub- mitting to tho plans of the Government for the withdrawal of the Welsh Church (Postponement) Bill. They had the situation completely in their hands and could have insisted upon the Bill being proceeded with, but when it was pointed out to them that the angry controversy which was threatened by a small handful of Welsh Radicals would be most detrimental to national interests they readily gave way, as they felt that any sacrifice necessary must be made in order to preserve national unity in face of the foreign foe. This point was well explained by the Bishop of Bangor in an address last week at Bangor, in which he said that they must suffer any in- justice, any hardship, "rather than be with those who struck jarring notes." But, of course, such submission is only for the period of the war. When peace comes it will be the duty of Church- men to insist that the main question shall be reconsidered, and, above all, that it shall be sub- mitted to the people. It would be a monstrous thing if an Act of the importance of that directed against the Welsh Church were to be brought into operation before the country had had an opportunity of pronouncing a verdict upon it. It is worthy of note that, notwithstanding the very serious anxieties which must be pressing heavily upon the Welsh Bishops and clergy at this time in connection with Disestablishment a.nd Disendowment, they are taking their full share in the work of furthering national interests. In his speech at Bangor the Bishop spoke strongly on the importance of promoting temperance among the troops. He urged that "treating" ought to be cuppressed with a strong hand by the Government, whom they asked to administer their own laws rigidly. The Bishop of Bangor also referred to the necessity for economy, and de- clared that no church had a right to ask for money to spend on an organ or on decorations at this time. His Lordship, in a final word, spoke strongly upon the importance of the ministrations of the clergy, w should be carried on not only with undiminished but with increasing acti- vity in all the parishes. It will generally be agreed that in thus emphasising the value of parochial work the Bishop is rendering a national service, for it is becoming increasingly felt that it is to the clergy that the people desire to look for consolation in their anxieties and sorrows and guidance in their perplexities. The two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the consecration of a church is a notable event and deserves commemoration. On Sunday last special services were held at the Parish Church of Fal- mouth to mark its consecration 250 years ago, and these were attended by the Mayor, aldermen, councillors, and other officials. The Rector (Canon n. H. King) has tendered his resignation of the benefice on account of ill-health, but on Sunday last the Mayor, speaking of the greatl regret expressed by the Nonconformists, a-3. well as the Churchmen, of Falmouth at the impending resignation of the rector, said that as Mayor he was taking it upon himself, on behalf of the town, to approach the Bishop of the diocese in the hope of getting him not to accept the resignation but to keep the post open for him even if the 1 rector did not get in a good state of health for one or five years. No one who heard the Mayor's words could mistake their significance; they formed an eloquent tribute to tihe strong hold the work of the Church has obtained upon the people of the town. < t The Southwark Diooesan branch of the Church of England Temperance Society has been doing excellent social and religious work among troops.. During the summer a tent has been used, but if the effort is to be continued during the autumn and winter a hut will be necessary, and the Bishop of Woolwich (Woolwich House, Sydenham, S.E.) has issued an appeal for £ 250 to provide one. The General has expressed his "best thanks" to the Bishop and the C.E.T.S. for what has been accomplished, and it is hoped the Bishop's appeal will be sufficiently successful to enable the work to be continued during the winter.

RHEUMATISM AND KIDNEY TROUBLE. FREE TREATMENT. t Rheumatism is due to uric acid crystals in the joints and muscles, the result of excessive uric acid in the system that the kidneys failed to re- move as nature intended, and this acid is to a great extent the cause of backaohe, lumbago, sciatica, gout, urinary trouble, stone, gravel, dropsy. The success of Estora Tablets for the treatment of rheumatism and other forma of kidney trouble is due to the fact that they restore the kidmeya to healthy action and thereby remove the cause of the trouble, which necessarily removes the ill- effects that spring from it, and have cured, num- berless cases after the failure of all other at- tempted remedies, which accounts for them fast speraeding out-of-date medicines that are sold at a price beyond all but the wealthy, and often fall so short of the wonderful claims made that confi- dence has been lost in them. To prove Estora Tablets fully warrant their dc,soriptioti-an honest remedy at an honest price --one full box of 40 tablets will be sent to read- ers of the North rVales Chronicle as a free sample on receipt of this notice and 3d in stamps to cover postage, packing, etc. Sold by chemists, la ld per box of 40 tablets or 6 boxes for 6s.

NORTH WALES "PALS" SPORTS.

The officers had taken a keen interest in the event, and as the weather waa propitious the whole affair parsed off in a man- ner which left nothing to be desired. Lieut. Oswald Jones, a well-known Welsh Inter- national Rugby player, in his capacity as secre- tary, worked, indfatifably in procuring a large number of entrants, and it was mainly due to his untiring efforts that the first sports held by the Datt,aliori were euch An unqualified success.

LORD MOSTYN'S TRIBUTE TO I THE LATE COL. PHILIPS.

I THE HIGH PRICE OF TEA. I I No Reduction Expected. I Tea is not expected to become cheaper (says the Times) in spite of heavy shipments of nearly 20,000,OOOlbs. Jrom Ceylon and of 6,000,OOOlbs. from India. There has been a slight fall in the less expensive teas, but this, according to several of the largest retail houses in London, is nothing; there was plenty of room for a drop, as market prices had advanced considerably, in addition to the rise caused by the increase hi the tea duty in November last. It is stated that owing to various special cir- cumstances such as the very greatly increased con- sumption in our own country Yalso in France and Russia, and the unprecedented requirements of the War Office for the supply of troops at home and abroad, enormous contracts for which are given out almost weekly, there has been an abnormal rise in market values. Common tea realises about Is per lb. in bond and Is 8d per lb. duty paid. It is curious to note that while France is using more tea owing to its ease of preparation, in the United Kingdom the consumption of coffee has risen. For the past seven months the in- creased consumption of the United kingdom was 83750wt., and imports were up by 378.952cwt. This advance is stated to be due partly to the large number of Belgian refugees, who cannot be induced to drink tea, and also to the sale of coffee at many of the camps and in some of the public-houses after 10 o'clock. A large number of penny coffee bars have also sprung up over the West-end of London, and these places, though frequented to a great extent by our new foreign population, have also obtained a fairly large clientele from the English working-classes.

THE WORLD'S HARVESTS. t Great General Increase. I The Board of Agriculture and Fisheries have received from the International Agricultural In- stitute the following estimate of the total pro- duction of crops this year in the countries men- tioned:—Wheat in the United Kingdom, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Russia in Europe, India, Japan, Tunis, United States and Canada (winter wheat only), 1,383,899,000 cwt., or 17.9 per cent. above last year's production; barley in the same countries except India and Canada, 414,411,000 cwt., or 19 per cent. above last year's production; oats in thd same countries as for barley, except Japan, 755,136,000 cwt., or 24.1 per cent. above last year's production; rye in the same countries as for oats, except England, Scotland, and Tunis, 514,365,000 cwt., or 18.7 per cent. above last year's production. The estimated production of maize in the United States is 1,458,993,000 cwt. and of potatoes 230,899,000 cwt., or 9.2 and 6.2 per cent. respectively above last year's production.

George Henry Bryan, 4, Cwlach-street, was summoned under the bye-laws for carrying more passengers in a roing-boát than it was licensed 4 F,. — Mr A. Cornolly prosecuted on behalf of the Llandudno Urban District Council. P.C. Ross, the inspector appointed by the Coun- cil, said that on July 27th he saw the defendant coming ashore with a. boat which had nine people in it, though it was only licensed to carry six. When questioned clefendant said that Hila-h Wil- liams, the owner of the boat, told him to take thQ people out. The Chairman: Why is the owner of the. boat not here? Mr ConoUy: The owner was not in charge of the boat, sir. The Chairman: Then, he ought to pay the fine. We impose a fine of 5s. WANTED A BETTER JOB. David Reed, cab driver, of Virginia Villa, was summoned for refusing a fare. P.C. Ross stated that a Mr D'Oly Wrftkins asked defendant to drive him to the Great Orme Cemetery, and he declined to go. Asked for his reason, he said he declined to go to the cemetery because he thought he could get a better job. Defendant, who pleaded guilty, waa finc-d 5s, the Chairman remarking that the Bench hoped it would be a warning to cab-drivers that they must not refuse fares. CHIMNEYS ON FIRE. 1 Thomas Poole, North Parade, and Ann Jones, Ashton House, Tudno-gtreet, were each fined 2s 6d I for permitting their chimneys to be on fire. TRADESMEN SUMMONED FOR I OBSTRUCTION. II. and J. Owen, provision merchants, Glodciaecfh-strcet, were summoned for cau-sing an obstruction in Garden-street. P.C. Edwards said the defendants obstructed the footway in Garden-street by leaving a num- ber of empty cases there for three-quarters of an hour. Cross-examined by Mr E. W. Johnson (for the defendants), the constable said the street was not a very narrow one. He had not received any complaints of the obstruction from anyone, and he had not been obstructed himself. Mr Johnson said the defendants were a large firm of provision merchants who had food brought to the town in cases which had to be returned when empty to the wholesale merchants, and at the request of the railway company who called for the empty cases they left them in the street, which was a street that was very little used. If an offence had been committed it was only a technical one. He suggested that the case should be dismissed upon payment of costs, and with a warning. Deputy Chief Const-ahle Guest said he quire agreed with the suggestion, and the case was then dismissed upon payment of co;sts. E. i B. Jones and Co., provision merchants, Gloddaeth Avenue, for whom Mr Johnson ap- peared, were also summoned for a similar offence, and the case was also dismissed, with a warning, on payment of costs.
