English Congregationalists in North 3Wales. OPEXIXG OF A XEW CHURCH AT RHOS-OX.SEA. SIR HERBERT ROBERTS, BART., M.P., OX RELIGIONS UXITY. The weather was fine on Good Friday to favour the opening of the Xew Comgregiatiooa.1 Church, which has been budit at Rhos-onSea. large and innuen.tial gathering assembled at three ° o'clock, when Lady Roberts, who was accompanied by Sir Herbert Roberts, performed the'opening ceremony. After the singing of the hyrnn? 'I?re in Thy na?me (Mr. Morgan lon'es) I?dy Roberts, who was presented w?na ?old key in the shape o-f a. brooch (supplied by Messrs W. Jones and Sons, Col.wyn Bay), by the contractor, Mr. Richard Williams, opened the principal door, and entered the beautiful new building followed by the people assembLed. The cosy building, which is supplied with chair ceatings was quickly filled, many visitors being amO'Th¡,O'St the congregation. Mr. Gerrard M. Ford, of Buxton, who has presented the Churcn with an organ-harmonium, presided, and he was supported by Sir Herbert and Lady Roberts, the Rev. Thomas Lloyd (the prime mover in the erection of the church), the Rev. John Edwards, the Rev. Frederick J. Brings, the Rev. J. Irvoa Davies and the Rev. Jdhn Chnstlen, Ll. D. The Rev. H. R. Williams was amongst the ?Th?'congregation having been seatted. the pro- ceedings were opened by the a?ing of the ceedings were opened by the SHJ,gmg of the hy-mn, "Eternal 'God and Father," sp?ly composed for the occa?n by the Rev. Thorns Lloyd Miss Wollaston presudm'g at the harmon- ium The Rev. John Edwards (Presbyterian) read the 6th Chapter of the 2nd Book of Chronicles beginning at the i2.th verse, after which the Rev. Frederick J. Briggs (Superb tendenft of the Colwyn Bay Circuit) offered the prayer of Dedication. Lady Roberts, who- was called upon to say a few words, said she did not expect to be called upon to say anything on that occa-sion. How- ever, she was very glad to be there and to see that'beautiful building, ajid she hoped that the opening ceremony was a good augury for success in the future. She hoped the congregations during the summer would be as large as that one It was a very beautiful building, and she admired it for its simplicity a;nd t&stefulne?s. There was one good feature aboiut it, and that wa.s that they could change the shape of the bidding as required. That would be very help- fur. She hoped that what they were doing that day would be the means of eiffec-ting mujch) good. Every time she visilfed Rhoa there were new hou&es, and that proved the place was becoming popular; therefore that buildin'g was mu;ch needed, and she hoped it would be the meajis of very great blessin'gs. She thanked them for the privilege of doing what little she had done that d?Y- The Chairman said u gave him sincere satis- faction in bein<g at Rhos that day, and he humbly claimed to be the representative of the gemeral body of Congreg.aJ.iona.lists present. He was not there as Mr. Ford, of Buxton, but to re- joice with them in that new church. He com- plimented the Rev. Thomas Lloyd for under- taking the work, when he had a debt upon his ow-.i church. He ajgue-d that in the erection of that Church there wa? no- overlapping ?s was the case in some parts of the country. He also referred to Mr. Shake.spea.re's speech at Hull, in. which he yearned for the. fede-ration of all churches into one Free Church. It was wicked and foolish to note the waste of money and energy which was the case in some places, and .ma.n;y people doing work that could be done by one. In going through Wales he was struck by the number of buildings in small communities. That afternoon, however, they were free from re- proach, and he rejoiced; that Mr. Lloyd and h:s friends had cxyis-ulted members of other deno- m'in.ations before proceeding with the erection of that building. So<me people said it was waste of money and time to erect Churches, and that all ine-i. cared for the social gospel. Any cospel was wrong unless it had behind it the dynamic of religion. So long a.; there were sorrowing hea.rts there was need for Chri-at. and that building he hoped in days to come would be a solace for aching hearts. He was glad to see many faces that he knew from different parts Q!f the country. The contgiegation sajig To Thp-e, 0 Lord, we raise," also composed by the Rev. Thos. Lloyd. A WORTHY TRIBCTf:. Sir Herbert Roberts said it was a sincere pleasure for him to t.akc part in that memoj-abLe opening. He was glad to be there for m&ny reasons, and to. accentuate his long' continued rne'ndsh'ip with the Rev. Thomas Lloyd. He desired once again to..express his hig'h regard for the splenddd service rendered to God by him, a.nd the supporting Off every good cause in the acighbourh.ood. Mr. Lloyd had worked hard for the cause he represented. He had gre.a.1 energy :md zeal. and an untiring spirit from January ist to the 3is!t December, and he. had die faculty of solving the inevitable ddniculties of carrying on an English Church amongst Welsh people. He (the speaker) re-echoed what his wife had said, that she hoped that building would reall-v prove a blessing in the hands. o<f the. Divine Master for the rescue of so?ls and the advancement of Christ's Kingdom. He was reminded of their respo-nsibility as regards Eng- lish Xo'nconformity in Wales. He thought Wales had' an honourable record in the matter of making' adequate provision for the needs of their English friends. There was a danger of overlapping. In many places they were Ö over- zealous, a<nd in many places they were guilty of overlapping. There was, however, a decided determinaition in some quarters to prevent this fault occuring. THE SPIRIT OF XOXCOXFORMITY. They should always remember that Xoncon- f'ormity in its spirit and practice was of one foundaticn, and was closely interblended. English and Welsh Xonoo.nforrnity stood to- gether, and it had the highest interests of the nation. There were many dangers in their paths to-day. They had to combat against the forces off materialism, indifference, and the spirit of the world. These thmgs were too much with us. They were, as churches, not ma-kiaig that head- wav tliev should; at the same time, if they probed their lives to the bottom the churches were effecting a greater bene.-nt than ever be- fore. It was clearer than. ever, in his judgment, that voluntary s-e-rvice in the promotion and maintenance of their religion. was the magic power of the life of the community. They needed strengthening of their faith; a doopeDi- ing of their religion, and the springing out oif a new vision of the Divine power of the Godhead. They should have a greater activity and de- sire to unite. He had read with great pleasure the aspirations of Mr. Shakespeare at the Free Church Council for unity, and he (the speaker) hoped the dav would come when they would be all able to unite. He saw no reason why, in time, they should not become one united Free (Jhurch. There should be a greater spirit of ra Union amongst professing Christians. It was desirable and urgently neccessary, not only amongst the religious forces in our land, but with all the churches of the United States and Europe as well. The first result would be the closer union, say. of Germany. It would pave the way for that day o<f permanent peace which was essential in the life of the Church. He had a deepening convictioni that however much Parliament had done 'for the life of this country the .area. of the influence of legislation could but be limited in truth, and it depended upon its u:;e,fulness upon the degree to which public opinion was educated Parliament was the mirror of the mind of the country and the nation. The greait need of the hour was a wider conception of the meaning and the scope of their Christian faith. If they had the new vision of the Glory of Christ all small difficulties would di-,a,T,near, and we would know neither Jew nor Greek. Christ would be all in all. He trusted that sanctuary would become a .power for good, and that it would be in the true sense of the word a. House of God and the Key of Heaven. STRIKING THOUGHTS ON REVERENCE. After the singimg, of Eternal God Who dwellest in the heavens (Miss S. E. Davies), The Rev. J. Irvon Davies delivered a most eloquent address on "Reverence," in which he said that there was in these days. on the part oif devout and thoughtful souls a manifest sadness, because there w.as a manifest decay of the senti- ment of reverence. Rank, genius, and parent- age were not honoured 'as they once were—vari- ous causes no doubt conspiring to bring about th-e change. It was not only possible, but prob- able, that the doctrine of equality in its vari. ous modific.ationis and phases, was answerable for much of that decay &n their mids-t to-day. One of the things they were conjtinually hearing was One man is as good as another." Yes, there was a subordinate sense in which that was a truism. He rejoiced that he belonged to a. Constitution which regarded every man. peer and peasant, as equal in the eye of the law. There was a sense, however, in which one man was not as good as another, in which one was superior to the other, and that superiority could be measured by the gracious activities, done in right direction s. If equality were possible it would be criminal to denounce it; but it was not possible. Cruel, therefore, was the teacher of sv-tem that lured manJuTTd into a belief of its possibility, for in so 'doing bitter disappointment was added to already prevailing unrest. Seeing no greatness that transcended his own., man re- fused to take of his shoes in the vicinity of the Burning Push," or to tread softly on tiptoe, a& though expecting the infinite to be unveiled at anv moment. He goes about with irreveLant clatter through the most sacred avenues. He glances at things mysterious, with a kind of in- dolent carelessness, and handles them with a thoughtless familiarity. Seeing no greatness which transcended his own. he broke. down sym- boJisius, visible and invisible, which our fathers were wont to recognise and revere. No distinc- tio.n.. is. to be made in the days of the week, and all places are to be equal—the sanctuary, the office, and w.areho'use. The obliteration of s'uch distinction they need not quarrel about, pro- viding it was the lower that was placed on the same elevation as the higher, that the Monday was a. reflection of Sunday, and Tiot Sunday a renecticn! of Monday. It need not concern them the equality of places if that equality w.as ob- tained by transfusing th'e ctMTinie.rcialis-m. of tihe omce and warehouse with the fervour and spirituality of the sanctuary. Concluding his ad- dress, Mr- Davies said Cultivate reverence. I care not how you do it, whetthjeT through the. pencMveness and breathless rest-rami fostered by an.them, by wailing and Litany, and rainbow nood o.f colour falling down from translucent Christy apostles, martyrs, or through the severer simplicities of the Cove.nanters who with deal tables, coarse earthenware cofntjmun.Myn vessels, reverently bowed b&fore God on. the bleak hiJI- side. Put whatever is left unaccomplished, cul- tivate reverence. Like Oliver Wendell Holm<es. -neglect -not the me&ns of grace, but frequent the. House of God in ord&r that the beautiful plant may be watered. Let knowledge grow from more to more, Put more of Reverence in us dwell, That mind and so.ul according well May make one music as before. The Rev. Thomas Llovd said he was very glad to. have Sir 'Herbert and Lady Roberta there that day. for Sir Herbert and his wHe were Chrisuan people. No bishop could more worthily have performed the opening ceremony than Lady 'Roberts. He was also glad of the assistance of his Christian brothers upon that occasion. Mr. Lloyd <?.ve a history of the move- nienit awards of the' plajce, which appeared in our ,1"Vc: of the storLe-laying cejemoTty. Mr. John Crompton s.tated thai the sum of :i,oSq 11. 3d. had been paid t<othe ccxntractors, thsy had [600 in cash, that a loan of £100 free from interest was being received from the North Wales Congregationa.I Union, and that in twelve) months the sum o-f £250 wo.uld be lent, free 0)f 'interest, by the CoQgiregationaI Chapel Puilding Society. A collection was made, and Dr. Cjinstien pro. nounced the' Bened:ictio:1.

Canadian News. THE LABOUR FAMINE. Wonderful indeed has been the progress of this fertile and f.avo'mr€d legaon o<f \eat€3"n CaiLada.. The productLOTi Off grain duj'ing 'the Last ten years has been as follows — i8oQ g,ooo,ooo busheLs 100?. ?7,000,000 i?cx) 208,000,000 The wheat crop alone of ioog was just under 90,000,000 bushels, or ten times the total cereal crop in 1800. The municipal statistic tan of Sas- katchewan has calculated the value of the grain crops of the province in 1000, based on local values, at OT nearly 60 per cent. of the total value o<f the grain crops of the three prairie provinces. The money yield from other neld crops, exclusive Oif live stock, would bring the gross value of Last year's harvest in Sas- katchewan up to £26,5°0,000, or ;6326 to each at the 81,303 farmers in 'the province. There seems little doubt but that Saskatchewan will in the present year surpass any other State of the America.n Union or province of the Dominion in the production of wheat. Measures were recently submitted to the legis- lature of British Columbia in connection with the guarantiees for the construction of the Can- adian Northern Railway from Yollowhead Pass to Barkly Sound. It is suggested that the road should be .completed wtithin four ye-ars, that white labour be employed, and a minimum mile- age be constructed e-ach }le,ar, to ensure the com- pletion of the road, and its operation within four years. The control of 'frciight and pasaenEer rates will be vested in the legislature. The C.P.R. has under contsideration- a scheme where'by tlie Bow Valley irrigation system will be extended. This will involve an additionaJ outlay of ?2,500,000, and also a further area of 800,000 acres will be brought under irrigation, enabling the Company, in the central and east- ern sections, to duplicaite the great improvements which have taken place in the wes-tern section during the Last two years. The Company has now practically completed the irrigation works in the western section of the block, comprising some 1,600 miles of canals .and ditches. Since the opening o: the branch of the Royal Mint in Ottawa in January, 1008, the operaitions have resulted in a profit to. the Dominion of Canada of over 63,857 dollars a.fter allowing 131,100 dollars as interest on the cost of build- ing, etc. The profit or seigniorage upon the coinage of silver was 172,244 dollars, on bronze 21,565 dollars, and miscellaineous 1,148 dollars, giving a total gross profit of 194,958. No Can- adian gold coinage has yet been struck, and the question- of the issue of gold coins otf 5 dollars and ten dollars is under consideration. No profit accrues from the mnntmg Of a gold coin- age. At present thousands of dollars are loot in Canada annually through unscientific and in- adequate methods of treating zinc ores, especi- ally in British Columbia. The Minister of Mines at Ottawa has recently given notice of a resolution which provider for an appropriation: not exceeding 50.000 dollars for the purpose o'f investigating a process used in the production of zinc, for making experi.mtents, and ifor an other purpose that may be de-emed advisa-ble for the proimotion of the manufacture of zinc, and zinc products !from Canadian ores. Iniformation also on the processes used in other counties will be collected and tested nn the interests of the Can- adian zinc industry. Following on the omcial communication to the Press last week by the Canadtian Emigration Authorities, in regard to the labour outlook in Canada, the corres.po.ndent of the Times in< estern Canada telegraphs. that a labour famine has appeared in that part of the Dominion, to satisfy which, it is stated, not Less than ten thousand experienced agriculturists will be re- quired. At the Dominion Omces at Winnipeig there are requests on, the registers tor 8,500 men which it is impossible to supply. Moreover, hundreds of Canadians are arriving on the trains from the older provinces for labour in the West. The number also of American, and European im- migrants, even at this early period of the year, has never ,been so heavy. FIRST BATCH OF EMIGRANTS. The Canadian Pacific Royal mail steamer Empress off Britain sailed from Liverpool on Good Friday for Canada with a full list of first, second, and third clasps passengers. A most ani- mated scene was witn<essed on the Landing-stage when the liner was alongside. The fine weather brought thousands of people down to the stage for an airing, and the nne vessel was the object o'f much attention. Among those sailing were the first party of settlers, who are proceeding to Alberta., in West- ern Canada, to take up Land under the scheme just formulated by Sir Thomas Shaujghnessy, the President of the Canadian Pacific. This scheme has for its object the placing- o.f British settlers on what has been termed ready made" farms that is, 50 out of So acres have been ploughed and put under cultivation, thus doing away with the rough pioneer work attaching to emigra- tion. The scheme has met with warm support, and 19 families sailed on Friday by the Empress of Britain. These were a portion of 200 settlers who are going out with the. object of buying land in, Western Canada. Many of them were people of considerable means, having capital of fiom 1500 to £700. Those who were gDirug -to. Canada under Sir Thomas Sbaughnes&y's scheme embraced people of quite a variety of occupations. One was a horse trainer, another an engineer, a third a builder, and so on, and they came ifrom as far North as the Isle of Lewis to as far South as Essex. One of the party had married to qualUy for a farm, it being stipulated under the scheme that occupants of the farms should be married men. The youngest of the party is 23 and the oldest 50. A member of the party in the course of an interview expressed the opinion that the. scheme was. one of the rimest concessions that had ever been made, and .that it would undoubt- edly take a lot of farmers out of England. There was nothing, he added, in Esigland for farmers. He reckoned, and he was led to be- lieve that he was right, .that the 50 acres now under cultivation would bring in anything from ;i2o to _f25o for the &rst year's working then there, would, of co.urse, be the profit on the re- maining 30 acres, which would be put under c.ultiva.ti.on before the end of the year. A special point attaching to these ready made farms is that they are all within easy'distance of the railway. The ship was so fully booked up that one of the party, whose initention was to sail third-class, actually booked saloon, where there was a berth available. He was taking out prize poultry, on which he was paying [IS freight. A Mr. W. C. Gibson humorously remarked that he had be- come <o- tired of waiting for the Budget that he had decided to go to a country where there were no income-taxes' The total capital represented by the 200 settlers sailing by the Empress of Britain on Friday was CS5.000.

Echo of the Holyhead Murder. At the fortnightly meeting of the Bangor and Beaumaris Board of Guardians, the Chairman; said a Bolton lady bad offered to adopt the adopted daughter of Gwen Ellen Jones., the victim, of the Holyhead Christmas night tragedy, who was now in the care of the Guardians, but that some dimculty prevented the board acceding to the lady's request. He suggested that the Guardians should grant the request and take the consquences. The Clerk explained the dimculty, which arose from the fact that the child was not legally chargeable to that Union, but to another union. He had written to that union, and if that union repudiated chargeability then the course would be clear for that board to deal with the case.
