CELLA.N. ANCIENT PARISH CHURCH.—A public met- ing was held in the parish room to consider the ways and means of restoring the ancient parish church. Colonel Davies-Evaus, Lord Lieutenant, Highinead, presided, being supported by the Bishop of Swansea, Professor Lorimer, Lampeter College, and others. It was unanimously resolved to open a subscrip- tion list to restore the ancient edifice. Mrs Davies-Evans, Highmead, headed the list by promising JE25 couditionally upon the super- vision of the work being carried out by the Society for the Preservation of Ancient Buildings. Donations will be thankfully received by the treasurer, Prof. Lorimer Thomas, Lampeter. It is worthy of note that Cellan Church is one of the most ancient in the principality, as it contains a holy water stoup which has been hollowed out of a rough single stone. The font also is ancient, an i a two decker is still used for the services. The roof of the chance] is dilapidated, and the windows are partly boarded where they should be glass, and it is feared that the woodwork of the roof has rotted owing to the rain. The church has no heating apparatus, and h' h' is sadly needed in the parish by the new Vi-jar in his struggle against many difficulties.

Several floral tributes were placed on the coffin. On Friday, May 3rd, the Rev. C. Evans, vicar of Ysbytty CYllfyn will deliver his popular lecture Chwilio am Wraig (Searching for a wife) at Goginan. Mr Evans is in great request as conductor at Eisteddfodau, and in his new role of lecturer he is fast making himself a name. Wherever he goes be is sure of a full house, and we hope that this will be the case at Goginan also. The Chair will be occupied by Capt. N. Bray, J.P. t We are very pleased to see the Rev. D Williams, B.A., curate of Tumble spending a few days in our midst. Mr Williams will soon relinquish his present curacy for that of St. Dogineiis, near Cardigan. He will commence duties at the latter place the last Sunday in May. Mr Williams is universally liked wherever he goes. He is a popular preacher, and a deligent parish priest. As colleague he will have Myfenydd, priest, poet, and writer. We wish Mr Williams great success in his new sphere. On Sunday a rehearsal was held at Capel Bangor in preparation of th Choral Festival. There was a good muster of singers, and the trainer (Mr Richard James) was well pleased with the progress made. The Festival this year will be held at Llangorwen on Wednesday, May 22nd.

DELIGHTFUL DISHES. Many delightful dishes can be made with currants, and since the King's physician hu spoken so enthusiastically of this fruit, one as a secure and comfortable feeling about it, knowing that the opinion of so eminent an authority must be correct. This great doctor's faith in that old-fashionod delicacy- Currant Bread-is so strong that ke would have people of all ages and classes account it a necessary article of daily food.

CHURCH NEWS. A confirmation service will be held at Llangorwen parish church on Thursday when the Lord Bishop of St David's is expected to be present. On the following day a confirma- tion service will be held at St Michael's church, Aberystwyth. At Holy Trinity Church on Sunday evening the choir sang the anthem God so loved the world" from Stainer's Crucifixion. For the voluntary Mr Edwards, the organist, played Mendelssohn's 4th Sonata. It is proposed to spend £65,000 in the erection of new churches in the Archdeaconry of Manchester. THE CHURCH COMMISSION. Speaking at a Cowbridge Church bazaar Archdeacon Edmonds referred to the Church Commission. He said that he had casually been present at two sittings of the Church Commission, and he was very pleased tu see the way in which the chairman took the greatest pains and care to see that everybody had fair play. He thought the result of the Commission was a great delight to the friends of the Church, but he could not say that it was so for others. THE PRIMATE IN WALES. On Wednesday His Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury visited Tenby, accompanied by Mrs Davidson and the Bishops of St. Davids. He was received by the Mayor and corporation, who presented an address of welcome. The party inspected the ancient parish church, and the Archbishop subsequently took tea at the rectory, leaving by motor car for Stackpole Court, where he visited Earl Cawdor. Though the visit has been of a private character, it has given much encouragement to Church- people, and emphasized the fact that the four Welsh dioceses are but a part of His Graceb province of Canterbury-a fact which cannot be too much insisted upon at the present time.

CARDIGANSHIRE QUARTER SESSIONS. The Easter Quarter Sessions were held at the Town Hall, Lampeter, on Thursday, Mr J. W. Willis-Band presiding. There were no prisoners for trial, and the only business that came before the court was a letter from the lord-lieutenant (Colonel Daviea-Evans, Highmead) calling attention to the now Dogs Act and the want of uniformity in the practice of different benches of ..acis.. trates in regard to exemptions, The Chairman observed that the lord- lieutenant was, unfortunately, unable to be present, and under the circumstances, he thought it would be better if they deferred consideration of the matter until the next sessions, so that they might arrive at some basis upun which the exemptions should bo granted. It was quite possible that the court might think it desirable to confer with the justices in other counties on the point, because it was very desirable, if possible, that some- thing like uniformity should be arrived at in the matter. The suggestion to defer the question was adopted,

ABERAYRON. MATRIMONIAL CASE IN DIVORCE COURT. In the Divorce Court on Friday Mr Justice Bucknill and Mr Justice Dean, sitting as a Divisional Court to hear appeals from justices under the Summary Jurisdiction (Married Women) Act, 1895, had before them the case of Thomas v. Thomas. This was an appeal of Mr Thomas Thotnas against an order of the justices of the peace of Aberayron, of the 27th of February last, granting the appellant's wife, Elizabeth Thomas, a separation order, with an allowance of 5s a week, on the ground of desertion. The appellant alleged that the magistrates' order was bad in form that he had never deserted his wife and that the evidence did not justify the separation order. Mr Le Bas appeared for the appellant, and Mr W. O. Willis for the respondent. After some discussion Mr Justice Barltrave Dean said that some magistrates thought it an easy matter to grant a separation, but in this case it was oath against oath, and this court never acted upon that without there was corroborationon one side or the other. In matters of this sort magistrates ought fairly to adjudicate between man and wife.. Mr Justice Bucknill said it was never intended that this Act should alter the mode of proof required by this court, either as to cruelty or desertion. In this case they had witnesses on one side and on the other. He wanted to emphasise that the court would not allow magistrates to give facilities for separation which were never intended by the Act. The same strict rule ought to he required in the matter before them as in cases that came before this court. The case would have to go before the justices to be dealt with properly.
