CHURCHES AND PEACE. Mr. Lloyd George on After- I Wa). Problems. Mr. Lloyd George was present on Thurs- day night at a service in London in con- nection with the recognition of the Rev. James Nicholas, late of Tonypandy, who was recentlj appointed to the pastorate of Cattle-street, London, Welsh Baptist Chapel. Mr. John Hinds: M.P., who presided, expressed a warm welcome to the new minister on behalf of the mem- bers of the chapel. Mr. Lloyd George, who was warmly re- ceived, speaking in Welsh, said that as a member of the chapel he joined in the welcome accorded to the Rev. James Nicholas as pastor of the Castle-street Chapel. He referred to the fact that the new minister was brought up in Car- marthenshire, where there was a strong and healthy tone of Noncoformity pre- vailing. Mr. Nicholas' first church was at Tonypandy. where he was brought face to face with the great and pressing problems of the day. which he grappled with successfully. The Rhondda Valley was a fine training ground, and Mr. Nicholas's 15 years at Tonypandy had well qualified him for the more import- ant position at Castle-street. Carmar- thenshire, --aid Mr. Lloyd George, was looked upon as the citadel of Noncon- formity. and produced more leaders of religious thought than almost any other county in Wales. (Hear, hear). As a result of this war they would be face to face with great problems, and he empha- sised the necessity of preaching not the Gpel of Cain, but the Gospel of Christ. which, of course, was the Gospel of Christianjty. That was the problem the churches would have to face, and the churches should be prepared to exercise their influence when peace came. (Ap- plause). Among those who spoke welcoming the new minister were the Rev. Wyre Lewis (Rhos), the Rev. William Thomas (Whit- land). the Rev. E. T. Thomas (Llanelly), Alderman John Lewis (Meiros Hall, Llandyseul). and Mr. Wm. John, secre- tary Tonypandy Chapel, who also holds the position of miners' agent in the district.
