THE STRONGEST FORT in the world is only equal to its weakest part: the strength of the strongest chain to its weakest link, and the capabilities of the healthiest man must only be adjudged by the weakest vital organ. The circulation may be good; the brain active the muscles wiry and supple, and the lungs sound but let disease attack the kidneys or liver and see how quickly the appetite becomes poor, the step less elastic and firm, the face pallid, aches and pains that were strangers appear frequently, and gradu- ally the man or woman, who gave promise for long years of health, becomes helpless. Do not be deceived by appearances, nor neglect the warnings of nature—the seemingly insignificant symptoms- but fortify yourself by resorting to the remedy that has achieved more cures from kidney and liver troubles than any other in the world. An Edinburgh lady, Miss Ann Dickson, of 61, Lothian-road,whose years measure beyond the three score and ten, says :—" I am a septuagenarian whose brain is active, and who inherits a temperament that— although not unwholesomely nervous-may perhaps be best tabulated as nervous-bilious." Past and present experience of the efficacy of the Warner's Safe Remedies ensure thoughtfulness with respect to the necessity of keeping Warner's Safe Cure and Warner's Safe Pills always near me, and I feel very grateful for the salutary and beneficial effects derived from their use." »

PROGRESS OF ELEMENTARY EDUCATION. ACCOMMODATION, ATTENDANCES, AND GRANTS IN LLANGOLLEN SCHOOLS. The annual report of the Committee of the Privy Council of Education just issued for 1895 shows that there was last year 5,198,741 children on the registers of the elementary schools of England and Wales as compared with 5,126,373 in 1893, and 5,006,979 in 1892. The proportionate growth of the number of children in the schools is greater than the estimated growth of the population of the country. There has also been a great improvement in the regularity of attendance. The number of free schools and free scholars shows a steady increase, and last year 16,289 schools were free as compared with 15,914 in the previous year. Of the 5,189,741 scholars only 821,000 pay fees, the large number of 4,277,741 receiving their education free. The denominational classification of the schools last year and the year before was as follows :— 1893 1894 National or Church of England. 11,928 11,897 Wesleyan 521 503 Roman Catholic. 970 985 British, Undenominational, &c. 1,290 1,220 Board Schools 4,972 5,151 Total.. 19,682 19,756 It will be seen that Board Schools and Roman Catholic Schools have increased, and that the others have decreased. The cost of education has increased, the average cost per head of the scholars in 1894 was £ 2 2s. 6|d., as compared with £ 2 Is. 9 £ d. in the previous year. In Wales there are now 1,457 schools, having 292,225 scholars on the register, the average cost per annum per scholar in average attendance being £ 2 Os. 8d. The following is the list of schools inspected last year in the Llangollen School District, giving (1) the name of school, (2) the number of scholars for whom accommodation is provided, (3) the average attendance, and (4) the amount of the annual grants :■— Name of Accommodation Average Amount School. provided. attendance. of grant. & s. d.

WREXHAM NONCONFORMIST ASSOCIATION. The quarterly meeting of this association was held on Monday, in King-street Chapel, Wrexham, Mr. Simon Jones presiding. After singing and prayer, the chairman read a portion of Scripture, which led up to the subject of the Bible reading, which the Rev. J. Hobson Thomas conducted.- The chairman said he should like to say a few words upon the new religion, called Undenomina- tionalism," referred to by the Bishops of St. Asaph and Chester, and to answer the question of Lord Kenyon why the religious people of Wales severed themselves from the Church. He then answered the question by stating that it was because Noncon- formists studied closely the New Testament, in which they failed to find any warrant for an hierarchical order established and endowed by the State, and because of the priestly assumption and ritualistic practices of many of the clergy. He commended the study of the Epistle to the Galatians to all such. As to the undenominationalism referred to at the conference last week, they might here learn what it was also from the platform of the British and Foreign Bible Society, which united all evan- gelical Christians in circulating the Word of God without note or comment." If this undeno- minational religion worked so well in the Bible Society and the Religious Tract Society, how was it that the reading of the Bible, with its sweet spirituality, and power "to make men wise unto salvation." did not satisfy the bishops and their friends ? It was because they wanted to teach the religion of the Church Catechism, and the books of the English Church Union and the teaching in these books warped the young minds, and made more bigots than Christians. Such teaching in their schools could not be proposed at the expense of the public, without calling for a protest from all true Protestants, and there was therefore as much use now as ever for Nonconformists to stand by their principles, especially as the Bishops of Wales and the Vicar Apostolic seemed determined to move heaven and earth to make proselytes of their fellow countrymen and countrywomen.—In the Bible lesson which followed several took part.- The Rev. J. Hobson Thomas gave an address.- A sub-committee was appointed to complete arrangements for future lectures.

Nor. man ), Lit. };¡w litis jusfc cabled tluit lie lifts covei ed a new lode on tlie property which is well defined, and will run to about 2ioz. of fcold to the ton. This, of course, is a splendid return. The Murc-liison Times," the leading local paper, writes in high praise of the mine, the dividends from which are sure to be more than satisfactory. Fhe shares were recommended when they were at 4s. 6d. They are now at 6s. 6d., but at anything under 10s. they are a cheap mining investment, They will ultimately go far beyond the latter figure. N ORTHERN WEALTH OF NATIONS. A trial crushing of ten tons of stone from this mine has yielded 50oz. of gold—an average of 5oz. to the ton. On the top of this most satisfactory announcement a cable just to hand states that developments at the mines are exceedingly good. In view of the high premium at which the adjoining celebrated Wealth of Nations mine shares stand a very considerable rise in those of the Northern Wealth of Nations is practically certain. The property is quite as rich in the precious metal as its neighbour, and its shares will go far beyond par—their present price.

THE WELSH BAPTIST UNION, OCTOBER 2ND, 1895, AT RHYL. DISTINCTIVE LABOURS OF WELSH BAPTIST MISSIONARIES. The following is an outline of a paper read by the Rev. T. Frimston, of Llangefni. Anglesey :—Having referred to the great and grand work accomplished by eminent missionaries of several of the other Welsh religious denominations, Mr. Frimston proceeded dividing Welsh Baptist missionaries as follows l- I. Pioneers. 1636, Roger Williams, author of "Key to the Indian Tongue." 1730, Abel Morgan, originator of the Association Circular. 1783, John Thomas, first missionary to Bengal. 1813, John Rowe, first European missionary to Jamaica. 1814, Lewis Richards and Horatio Jones, founders of the American Baptist Missionary Society. ISIS, Evan Jones, first missionary to the Cherokee Indians. 1820, Mrs. Coultart, a Brecknockshire lady, and first European lady who suffered persecution in Jamaica. 1S23, Noah Davies, founder of the American Baptist Publication Society. II. Overseers. 1831, Thomas Simons, first Welsh missionary to Burmali. 1832, Mrs. Knibb, a Welsh lady heroine of freedom for the Jamaican slaves. 1833, John Taylor Jones, first translator of Siamese. 1834, John Jenkins, first translator of New Testament into Breton. 1851, Randall, Welsh missionary among the Arabs. 1855, Thomas Ap Owen, compiler of the first Yomlan (Africa) grammar, dictionary, and New Testament. III. Recruits. Mr. speaker remarked that these missionaries almost without exception are still living, and having referred to Consul Hillier's report re Timothy Richard (1869—1895), chief distributor during the famine, and having enumerated seventeen other excellent missionaries, he brought his remarks to a close. »

LLEWELYN EIN LLYW OLAF. NATIONAL MEMORIAL. The following appeal has just been issued on behalf of the Executive Committee formed to carry out the arrangements for a National Memorial to Prince Llewelyn :— In the national movement which has stirred Europe during the past century, our country has borne an early and conspicuous part. Her nationality has sprung into renewed existence, almost, it may be said, from the grave. Our national system of education, as we see completed to-day, would alone testify, were there no witness, to the depth and earnestness of the restored public life of Wales. But in one common form of outward national manifestation, our country is still singularly wanting. For the public monuments of the heroes of our historic past, such as the poorest continental nations lavishly erect, we look almost in vain. Even now a stranger might travel from end to end of Wales without being visibly reminded that he is among the people of Aneurin and Caswallon. in the land of Hywel Dda. Gwalchmai, and Dafydd ab Gwilym. It is proposed to raise a National Memorial to our chivalrous and ill-fated Prince. Llewelyn ab Gruffydd, 'Ein Llyw Olaf.' Though not perhaps the greatest of our national heroes, Prince Llewelyn will always be one of the most interesting Soldier, statesman, scholar, lover, patriot, and martyr-his life is among the romantic, his death among the most pathetic of which our annals can tell. His Augevin conqueror's stately tomb stands high in the Abbey Church of Westminster: for three centuries the cattle have grazed the desecrated resting place of the last Welsh Prince of Wales. It is in the hope of honourably repairing this long neglect of our beloved national hero that we confidently appeal to Welshmen throughout the world. We wish to raise a worthy monument in Wales, to speak to all time of one whose life and death was significant of the strong national feeling we are conscious of to-day. What form the memorial is to take will be left to the general voice of the subscribers to determine. Some donors have already expressed a wish that our first effort should be to rear a fitting tomb over the Prince's burial place among the ruins of Abbey Cwm-Hir others as strongly desire a monument to be erected as near as possible to the place where he fell; whilst still a large number wish to see his memory honoured in his native Gwynedd. Donations to any of these specific objects will be applied as desired by each individual subscriber. All others will be placed in a general fund, to be dealt with as the subscribers shall ultimately determine. It haa been decided that no subscription is to exceed one guinea, so as to make the movement truly national." The treasurers of the fund are Mr. Robert Rowland, J.P., Plasisa, Portmadoc, and Mr. D. Thomas, L.P., Builth, and the secretary the Rev. Gwynoro Davies, Barmouth. The president is Lord Kenyon.

IT TOUCHES THE SPOT." Aye, that is what" HOMOCEA" does. And does it juick, too-whether it's a toothache or neuralgia. with all their shooting pains, or eczema with its painful and distressing irritation—or piles that make thousands of lives wretched. Rheumatism in the joints or muscles has been cured even of years standing-while for cuts, barns, and bruises it's far, very far ahead of any ointment that has ever been put before the public. LORD CARRICK says HOMOCEA cured him of bleeding piles, when all else failed; that he gave some to a labourer who was lamed by a stone falling upon him, whom it cured. A woman had a pain in the elbow and could not bend it for a year and it cured her. And another used it for scurvy on her leg, and it was doing her good-one letter from him closes with the words, It is the most wonderful stuff that I ever came across." LORD COMBERMERE says "HOMOCEA" did him more good than any embrocation he had ever used for rheumatism. H. M. STANLEY (the great African explorer) says HOMOCEA is a most soothing and efficacious unguent. It is as soft as oil and almost instantly mollifying in the case of severe inflam- mation. BISHOP WM. TAYLOR (American Methodist Episcopal Mission) says I have used '• HOMOCEA," and have found its healing virtue both for severe bruises and flesh wounds, and also to kill the virus of mosquitoes. A well-known Liverpool Physician (name at office of company) says I have found "HoMOCEA" an excellent remedy in different forms of neuralgia, and the pain of inflamed piles is more quickly relieved than by any other remedy. MR. J. W. C. FEGAN, The Boys' Home, South, wark, writes "HoMOCEA" does all it's guaranteed to do, and is not only a wonderful lubricant, but strongly antiseptic, and relieves inflammation and pain almost instantaneously. For stiffness, sprains, muscular rheumatism, sore throat, mosquito bites' &c., it is a real boon, and no praise can be too high for it. ° Remember that "HOMOCEA" subdues inflamma- tion and allays irritation almost as soon as applied. Sold by dealers in medicine at Is. I I d. and 2s. 9d- 2 per box, or can be had direct from the HOMOCEA Company, 21, Hamilton Square, Birkenhead. [3978] —«
