Liverpool gets not only welsh water but Welsh veni.-on..Durnig the past week Sir Watkin Williams Vvyun, Bart., has sent a large quantity of venison to the Lord Mayor's iieliei Committee at Liverpool, and as a result 2,000 soup tickets will be distri buted in the city. A new terror threatens the National Eis- teddfod. This year it will be held in Lon- don, and the day presidents include Mr Afiquith, Mr Balfour, Mr Lloyd George, and Sir S. T. Evans. It Ls now feared that this will mean- that the Eisteddfod proceed- ings will be disturbed by the suffragettes. This would be the last straw. According to the "Christian World," the Rev A. T. Guttery has publicly announced his intention to raise a ororeit at the •National Free Church Conn."I at Swaiisea against Nonconformist leaders, however honoured, negotiating and compromising their principles for political purposes ;0 r'ue name of Nonconformist. Who are the cut pritef A certain number of the Cymry of Paris, with the co-operation of the Breton colony, celebrated the memory of Dewi Sant by a banquet on St. David's Eve. The colony includes the following patriotic le.a.ders:- The first Derwydd Mawr, M. Ian ar Fustek (Hamonig). v. ho was at Cardiff some time ago; M. Bet-then (Kiledfwichi, the present Derwvdd :Jf:¡. r of Brittanv; and Dr Pol Di verres tTuigwall). I Bangor University College has been for- tunate enough to secure Professor John L. tMyres, of the Liverpool University, for- merly of Oxford, to deliver a lecture at the College Hall on Monday, the 8th of March. Sir Harry Reichel is to take the chair, and the subject of the lecture is "A study of the Phoenicians in the light of recent Archaeological Diecoveries." Professor tMyret) is one of the greatest Archaeologists living, and many will be very glad of this opportunity of hearing him. Free tickets are to be obtained at the College Office. The Rev T. Rhondda Williams, Bradford, who has accepted the invitation to become the pastor of the Rev R. J. Campbell's old church at Brighton, is a native of Tony- pan dy, being a &on of the late, Rev Thomas Williams, who wa. a, Cilvinristic Methodist minister. He was educated at the Car- marthen Presbyterian College, where he had among Irs fellow-students the Revs Elvet Lewis and Towyn Jones. iHe was ordained to the Coir regational ministry as p36tor of Bethania Church, Dowlais, and was after- wards minister of Gnoll road English Church, Neath, before his removal to Brad- ford. He is one of the leaders of the New Theology movement. The Rev Evan Jones, of Carnarvon, the president of the National Free Church Council, contributes to the "Home Messen- ger" for March a special message to the Free Churches. (He says:—' There is one privilege which is unsparingly granted to the Free Churches—the privilege of being freely criticised and pitilessly abused. If anything goes wrong the churches are to blame. The churches are negligent, if any- thing is wanted. This is no mean compli- ment. It reveals the source from which the helpless ey.pect help. And they should not I be disappointed. 'They that are whole have no need of a physician, but they fhat are 'lick.' His readiness to heal gave our Lord fHifl opportunities to preach. So it should be with His followers. Times. of distress are the Church's opportunities." .1f.- Sir Edward Evans—a North Waliin who for,many yea.rs has been one of the leading citizens of Liverpool—has thoroughly- earned the compliment which the General Committee of the National Liberal Federa- tion paid him at Leamington the other day. He has already been thirteen times elected to the position of chairman of that influen- itial body. and as his nomi-nation is again 'unopposed his re-election for the fourteenth year in succession is certain to take place. Throughout his long and valuable services to Liberalism ha lias been highly popular with the party, and when he was knighted in 1906 it was generally fAt that few honours were better deserved. iMr Gladstone, in- deed, held his abilities as an organiser and his enthusiasm for the people's cause in the highest esteem. 2 Few Welsh members (says the "South » Wales Daily News'") have so early in their 1 Parliamentary career made such reputation as speakers in the House of Commons is j Mr Ellis Davies, the member for South Carnarvonshire, is fast earning for himself. | Mr Davies is not an orator in "the sense that (Mr Lloyd George is, but he has vlready im- pressed the House with his saneness. his earnestness, and hi.) mastery of any sub- 1 jeefc upon which he speaks, and is always j listened to with attention lw both the Gov- ernment and the Opposition, for nobody r knows at the outset which of the two he is going to criticise. iRe has been personally complimented more than once both By Cabinet Ministers and by leaders of the Opposition. His speech last week on the Address waa excellently conceived, and served to elicit an official declaration from the Labour party in favour of Disestablish- ment. A rough analysis of the list of speakers at the meeting of the National Council of Fiee Churches to be held at Swansea next week shows that the Congregationalists are represented "by twenty-eight oi its leaders, the Sadist 9 by twenty-four, and the iMethodijta. (including the Welsh Calvin is tie Methodists) by twenty-six. Next follow the (Presbyterians, together with representa- tives from the Society of Friends and the Plymouth Brethren. When the Council meets at Swansea the senior ex-president will be the Rev Dr J. Monro Gibson, who was succeeded by the Rev Dr John Clifford. The other ex-presidents in the order in which they held the office of president are the Revs C. H. Kellv, J. G. Greenhough, Dr W. J. Townsend, Jamet; Travis, F., B. iMeyer, Dr R. F. Horton. J. Scott Lidgett, Dr Ren-del Harris, and Dr David Brook. One item on the programme of the St. "David's celebration at the Theological Col lege, Aberystwyth, was a cornoet itiou for the best englyn on the "General Meeting," .an important evertt in college life. The fol. lowing was adjudged the best by Professor J. Young Evans, the author being Mr Myfyr Evans, one of the students :— "Mwg a thwrf, dlrmyg a thân-geiriau Ergur fFlam a thrydan.
