WELSH DISESTABLISHMENT.
WELSH DISESTABLISHMENT. In its issue of last Wednesday the Standard published a leading article on Welsh Disestab- lishment in general and on the Pontypridd con- ference of yesterday in particular. After declaring that the defence of the Church in Wales was, indeed, an easy task," the article goes on to prove how easy it is for a writer who knows nothing of the Welsh Church to write a column of matter, as a so-called "defence" of the establishment in the Principality. It complains that in the manifesto issued by the conference there is a total absence of any at- tempt to deal either with the history of the Church in Wales, or with the change which has taken place in her condition during the last generation." To our mind there is nothing strange in the fact. The Disastablishment of the Welsh Church is not a question of senti- ment or of history it is a matter of principle. However English Liberals may look at the matter, it is to Welshmen no question of count- ing of noses. The question of numbers does, it is true, enter into our calculations, but only, according to the resolution which was moved by Major Jones, bocause "the inequality is more marked and the injustice the more keenly felt, because the denomination so established is the church of a comparatively small minority of the people of Wales." The injustice of the existence of a Stabe Established Church is em- phasised, not created, by the fact that the Church happens to be in a minority. The writer in speaking of the change that has taken place in the condition of the Church during the last generation says that Welsh Dissenters themselves have admitted that Welsh Dissent is on the wane," and that the peasantry are learning to appre- ciate the clergy and to value the services of the Church more and more every day." The audacity of such statements ir, only equalled by the ignorance they display of Welsh opinion. We do not remember a single instance where a Welsh Dissenter has admitted that Welsh Dissent is on the wane, and the published reports and statistics of every denomination are evidences to the contrary. We would have thought that even a London leader-writer in the dull season would have hesitated to say, in face of the Tithe War which is still waged in the most agricultural parts of the Principality, that the peasantry are learning to appreciate the clergy." It is not strange that a writer who shows such dense ignorance of the present condition of Wales should make even greater blunders in dealing wsth the history of Welsh Dissent. Welsh Dissent," he says, is of comparatively recent growth," and was neither doctrinal nor ecclesiastical, but purely mechanical and that with the reform of the mechanism of the Church the old attachment of the Welsh people to their ancient faith is naturally reviv- ing." We would like to point out that Welsh Dissent is contemporaneous with the revival of religious feeling in Wales. It is true that the English Church can trace its history in Wales to Henry VIII., but there are plenty of evidences to show that it had no real hold on the people. Even late in Elizabeth's reign we find it affirmed in State papers that Wales was still Papist, and Popish observances have lin- gered on even unto our own time. In the reigns of Elizabeth and James, however, the Bible was translated into Welsh, Arch- deacon Prys published his Welsh metrical version of the Psalms, and Vicar Pritchard composed his "Welshman's Candle." Then commenced a now religious life in Wales, and it is remarkable how early it took the form of Nonconformity. In Elizabeth's time the proto- martyr of Welsh Dissent, John Penry, lived and died. In the next generation, Stephen Hughes, the disciple and friend of Vicar Pritchard, to whose loving cire we owe the preservation of the invaluable Canwyll y Cymry," became one of the pioneers of Welsh Dissent. After the Restoration until the Methodist revival, there intervened a period of religious stagnation, and during that time Dis- sent declined, and the doctrines and practices of the English Church wore accepted, if not with affection, at all events with. indiiference- It is significant that when religious feeling was revived Nonconformity again sprang up into new life. Thus we may say that if Welsh Dis- sent is of comparatively late origin, it is, at all events, synchronous with the revival of religion in Wales. Though Welsh Dissent was not altogether doctrinal in its origin, it had, at all events, a deeper root than in the defective mechanism of the Church. Why else did not the seceders form, a free Episcopal Church ? It is equally unhistorical to say that "the old attachment of the Welsh people to their ancient faith is reviving," for it has never yet been proved that the Welsh people ever felt any attachment to the Church of England. Their attitude towards it, at first* was one of utter indifference, clinging as they did to old Popish traditions and observances and afterwards it became one of opposition* The Welsh people have never been attached. except in name, to the English Church. ItS beautiful Liturgy, with its calm religion dignity and soberness, has never appealed to the impulsive Welshman as the mystic and stately ceremonies of Rome, or the crude and passionate service of Dissent. The writer deprecatcs the Disestablishment of the Church in Wales, as it will only b8 a stepping stone to the destruction or complete transformation of the English Constitution;" and he goes on tQ say that Irish Disestablishment was immediately followed by an attack, on the land. We have reason to thank the writer for reminding us of the fact. Dean Owen, in his very cle,"er articlØ on Disestablishment, which appeared sometiu^ ago in the Genlap.n, and on which we cono" inented at the time, said that Welshmen by putting Disestablishment first in their pro" gramme placed the cart before the horse. Tha land question, he said, ought first to b3 settled, and then the question of Disestablishment might be discussed. We are glad to 00 reminded that we are only f oilON" ing an excellent precedent in placing Disestablishment first. No doubt' the question is one of momentous importance the Disestablishment of the Church will be stepping stone to that reform, as well as to others which will, if not destroy, at least corl, siderably modify the English Constitution. We would have thought that even a writer iJJ a London Tory journal, speaking of a counts J L 's he knows nothing about, would have been sa^s' fied with the amount of ignorance which has shewn in the extracts we have quoted, But it was left to him to make one more state,, ment, which abundantly testifies to his vittet lack of knowledge- of Wales and Welsh life. He says that Dissent being on the decline, and the political influence of dis3enti,J^ ministers being undermined by the growing iø'" fluence of the clergy, Welsh dissenters made the very natural discover}' that poli^Ci influence ought never to be exercised by isters of religion." A more reckless stlitowOI3 we have never seen. So far are the Welsh senters from thinking that ministers of reIigl0 should take no part in politic*, that it has beco constantly held up as a reproach to us by Tory press and party that our ministers politics. But, as a matter of fact, Welsh n1*1* isters do not take part in politics because are ministers, but because they are citizeO; VvTelshmen have always held that a man Cloco not cease to be a citizen when he becomes minister, but that rather he ought to prove b^ self a better citizen. It has never ^ee. the intention or the effect of "W^6 Dissent to build up a sacerdotal caS^ with privileges and interests distinct from rest of the people. There may exist element of danger in the political infltfeD<L wielded by such a caste. In Wales such a c'aS has rnever existed. Indeed so little sacerd0*^ in character is the Welsh ministry, that Baptists and Congregation-lisis do not belieV^ « the ordination of ministers. Whomsoever and a body of worshippers call to the v> 0l^tice the ministry, he is fit to administer the ° without any other sanction. He is not a ber of a distinct class, he is only a ^>r° who has been elected of God and man to P form certain sacred oJbes, nO"! We confess that we were surprised tha^^0 writer, to whatever party or sect he may ISO belonged, should have dared to posc oir, authority on Welsh topics, while still so ant of the commonest facts of the 001 history, and political and religious condit1 Co..JJ Wales. If such are the only arguments be laid before the English elector, the vvol the Disestablishment campaigners have 66" reives to do will Le very easy.
