The Pentre Temperance Britsa Band played two pieces, with capital intonation and execution. Miss Mattie Davies's excellent voice and fine appearance made her a great favourite.

Mr. Angle, accompanied by Mrs. Angle, chaimed the Pentreites with his violin.

Spirit of the Welsh Press. [By ti GWYLIEDYDD."] THE LIVERPOOL RELIGIOUS CENSUS. The census taken by the Liverpool Post of the attendance at places of worship in Liver- pool has driven the Welsh Nonconformist press into a state of consternation. Liverpool has been considered the headquarters of Welsh Nonconformity, and the leading ministers of the different denominations have always resided in that city. We are accus- tomed to read of their great meetings and the marvellous influence which they possess. The Liverpool Post has presented the actual state of things. The great array of distinguished ministers engaged at Liverpool led the public to believe that Welsh Nonconformity was a great faetcr in the life of that city, but the recent census has dispelled the delusion. Instead of large congregations the census has disclosed an array of empty peivs. The Calvi- nistic Methodists have accommodation for 7,540 worshippers, but the attendance on the census Sunday was only 2,633.The Independents have provision for 2,960, but the total number in attendance was only 714. The Baptists have 2,030 sittings, of which 450 were occu- Sied. The Welsh Wesleyans have accommo- ation for 2,600, but only 478 were presen!- at all their chapels. It appears that the Post took a similar census ten years ago, when the returns were nearly the same as the recent one, with the exception that the Calvinistic Methodists show a falling off of 803. It is in the recollection of the reader that a preten- tious and high-sounding manifesto was issued by the Calvinistic Methodists a few weeks ago, showing the great increase that has taken place in the denomination, and wherein the Bishop and Dean of St. Asaph were accused of misrepresentation by stating that it is declining in number. The disclo- sures of the Liverpool Post have confirmed the statement and put the official organs in a flutter. 'I he honesty and fairness of the census is admitted, and various explanations are made of the present state of things. The Goleuad says:- The c Illsils discloses facts of a serious character, especially as ivgarJs the Caivinistic Methodists. The population has increased, md ti e Methodists are more numerous, if recent statistics are to be relied upm. Arc. wo to suppose that, practical religion is falling off ? The standard of the ministry lias never been higher, titil yet the attendance is less. Some contend that the in- fluence of t; e pulptt is losing ground a',d tlxifc the present is a imurial age. If the figures are correct, they are a seti-ux message to the Churches. Is there an way to get rid of the care- lessuess th;;t rrevails ?" The Baner gives elaborate details of the census, and says :— It cannot but cause a strong feeling of seriousness and anxiety, and it conveys a cp"cial lesson. Wo fear that t':cre is only ona explana- tion, and ttl-Lt it is best to look tho facts in. the face. Is it to be attubuted to the painful fact that the triit-.i.-d ry of i he Gospel is lo ing itshoid outhe peOjiic? And we feur that the, suim: state of tilings prevails in the urban d!st)i. ts of Wales." The census is also referred to by the Herald, aii(i Cymro. Jdriswyn" fears that the Gospel in the hands of the present leaders is losing its hold upon the nation, and that they will be swept away in the midst of the dust, and smoke which they make over dises- tablishment. MR. LLWIS MORRIS AND MB. ABEL THOMAS AND THE CABMAllTHENSimtrc RADICALS. These two gentlemen have shown an inde- pendence of spirit not often met with among Radical candidates for Parliamentary honours, with the result that they have risen several degrees in public estimation. The usual practice has been to promise any and every thing that would secure votes. The obse- quiousness of certain candidates has been humiliating, but the action of Mr. Lewis Morris and Air. Abel Thomas is quite refresh- ing. Sportsman say that certain dogs becoma very ohedient and useful after being well whipped. Thee gentlemen have spoken plainly to the electors of Carmarthenshire. Mr. Lewis Morris was treated at Llanelly as if he were an ordinary man, and the poet told them that they were wanting in intelligence, and he was forthwith asked to allow his name to he placed in nomination. Certain electors of East Carmarthenshire found fault with Mr. Abel Thomas for defending a publican at the sessions, which is considered inconsistent with voting for Local Option in the 110nge of Commons. The honourable member waseejual to the occasion, and sa-id that there was a Mr. Abel Thomas, barrister,and a Mr. Abel Thomas, I M.P., and that the electors had no right to dictate to the former, whereupon a vote of confidence in him was earned. The Goleuad cannot separate the two Abels," and is of opinion that a barrister who does not sacrifice his profession on the altar of "dub" is not fit for the House of Com- mons. The Tllst has also its doubt about the dnalitv of character, and the Baner is also groping in the dai-Ic. The Welsh paper* back Mr. Lewis Morris. "The unfortunate letter," says the C't/??iro, "was an error of manner rather than of matter." The Goleuad says that the bitter letter was atoned for by the privilege of Welshmen to explain themselves. "It is difficult," say?, the Methodist organ, "for a great man to stand to be judged by persons whoso only credentials are their votes. ldriswyp. admits that Mr, Lewis Morris has done good service for Wales, but com- plains that he does not write in Welsh, instead of English. Sin CHARLES DILKK AGAIN". The "Welsh press is divided over bir Charles Dilke. The more religious of the papers follow the lead of the ministers who signed Mr. Stead's monster protest. The London correspondent of the Bcnie)--iilao is great on politics and morlity-defends Sir Charles against his accusers, although he proscribed Mr. Parnell, and says :— "It is difficult to see wh it good ihere is to be gained by ti:e cruel boycotting promoted bvi Mi-. Stead. Tho editors of the chief m»g>izin»s and nowf-pap ir« pay the highest respect to Sir Cliai-les, writing", and thousands believe in his integrity. It is singular bow little removed we are from the days of r-gr • • t > and persecutions." I The Celt has a strong article reflecting on the" Methodist Minister" who wrote to the Herald against Sir Charles. It also condemns the action of the Herald in sending circulars to certain ministers asking their opinion about the Chelsea baronet. The writer boasts that the workmen were too many for the preachers. THE REV. HUGH PRICE JAMES. There has been a great deal more fuss over the last convert from Dissent to the Church than was shown when his predecessors came over. The Methodist organs are at great pains to prove that Mr. James was not a first or second class preacher of the Corph. A scurrilous local print has attempted to damage his reputation by stating that he is 11 nearly as good a player of draughts as the rector/ This silly statement has been copied into the Non- conformist organs. The Tyst prints it without acknowledgment, and makes the scurrility its own. The Cymro takes the Western Mail to task for stating that Mr. James is a popular preacher. The South Wales correspondent of the Baner writes thus "I knew Mr. Jauoes well, and have nothing but yrhat is favourable to say of him." Gwalia, replying to the personal attacks made upon Mr. James, says:— Did not Mr. James preach at the Cymanfa at Abwystwith at the beginning of tho present year? And did be not praicli alsp m the Taber- nacle, the Iirge chapel of Mr. Levi?" THE LABOUR QUESTION. The Chilian-oil papers are discussing the question of labour, a question that is rarely discussed in the Welsh vernacular press. The working classes are opening their eyes to the worthlessness of the Radical promises, and are realising the fact that the Tories are their best friends. The Genedl devotes a whole column to persuade the quarrymen that the Tories are their natural enemies, and that Mr. Lloyd George can do thera more good than Sir John Paleston. It has been observed that Conservatism has been gaining ground of late, and that working men are beginning to take independent views of politics. The Herald refers to the state of labour in Australia and to the congress lately held at Erfurt, on the Continent. Among the reforms proposed by the latter, the Herald mentions that every man and woman of twenty should have a vote, that young men should be drilled, that children at school and young men and women at the col- leges should have their dinners at the public expense, that doctors and lawyers should give their services for nothing, and other absurd and impracticable things. They are dangled before the eye of the readers, but the conductor of the paper carefully avoids giving an opinion for or against them. It is indicative of the signs of the times when the vernacular papers take up labour ques- tions. Welshmen are realising that such questions as tithe, disestablishment, one man one vote, and the other planks of the Radical platform will not help to put a single penny in their pockets.
