OLD FALSE TEETH BOUGHT.- Many ladies and gentlemen have by them old or disused false teeth, which might as well be turned into money. Messrs. R. D. and J. B. FRASER of Princes Street, Ipswich (established since 1833) buy old false teeth. If you send your teeth to them they will remit you by return of post the tmost value, or, if preferred, they will make you he best offer, and hold the teeth over for your epiy.

CHRISTMAS TREE AND SALE OF WORK. Many towns and villages throughout our land seem indissolubly linked with some particular custom or festivity by which they become fixed in the minds of many people. Thus we have Dunmore, celebrated as the locale of the Dunmore flitch, and Coventry, the scene of the Lady Godira procession then also there is the tofvn where, on Shrove Tuesday, a wildly-excited crowd play football in the principal thoroughfares, and the smaller town in Kent where cakes are annually thrown from the church tower. Here, in Rhyl, if asked what was our special day of diversion, we should probably answer May-day, when tho whole town is en fete. But there are also other days of rejoicing and merry-making, and days without which the yearly calendar would seem incomplete and surely, in the minds of Churchpeople, one of these is the annual sale of work, which takes place every year in December, when every member of the female sex is requisitioned for work and help, and every mere man is required to contribute directly or indirectly to the funds. This year the notice of the impending sale appeared in the November magazine, when the Vicar urged all to help in every possible way and right well did his readers obey his behest. The sale was ultimately fixed for Thursday. Dec. 13th, and prior to that date innumerable workers were busy preparing their quota for the sale, and a noble collection was the result, the amount resulting being upwards of £150, an increase of about £50 on the last sale. The room was charmingly decorated in real patriotic style. The Christmas tree was placed upon the platform, exactly opposite the entrance, and was a mass of glistening, glitter- ing ornamentation, upon which the lights scintillated dazzingly. Opposite this was the refreshment stall—of which more anon—and on either side of the room were the various stalls. These were divided by long Venetian masts, draped with red, white, and blue. Festoons of evergreens," interspersed with coloured flowers, were carried from pole to pole around the room, and on each mast were pictures of our famous Generals, surrounded by miniature flags. The fronts of the stalls were artistically draped with the same colours, and strings of bunting were arranged across the room. Over the platform and Christmas tree was a large motto God bless ye all both great and small completing the decorations, which were most tastefully carried out by Mr and Mrs Evans, Gwalia. The various stalls were crowded with every variety of ware, both useful and ornamen- tal. Nothing was too small or inexpensive to be accepted, and some beautiful work was also en evidence. On the Christmas tree stall was a collection of small wares to delight the hearts of the small visitors, interspersed with objects to tempt the parents and friends of the childish purchasers. Some photos pourtraying "Sunsets at Rhyl were especially noticeable, and became to many interesting and valued souvenirs- photos, too, of the Vicar obtained a ready sale. The next in order was the Parish Church stall, with innumerable variety of goods, perhaps the most noticeable being a dark satin cushion beautifully painted with narcissi (this, we learned, was sent from St Winifred's Studio) here also were pretty knicknacks painted on opals, satins and silks, tambourines, trays, and other articles, dainty needlework, and a host of useful garments for children. On St Thomas' stall we noticed brass and copper work, tasteful table centres, beautiful fancy work and dainty ornaments arrayed in a most fascinating man- ner. St John's was replete with work of various kinds, photos of the clergy, reading candles, pretty covers for cushions, and an array of other delightful objects. Next came the doll stall, a most delightful spot, where one could get a huge baby doll or a tiny inexpensive one one fine lady dressed for the promenade waited serenely, on a drawing-room chair, another beautiful wax model slept peacefully in a fully equipped brass cot; another prettily dressed child was in a large perambulator, in fact "la poupee" was to be seen under many aspects, although without doubt the finest in the collection was the delightful baby doll in the centre of the col- lection. Finally we reach St. Ann's stall, most tastefully and daintily arranged. Here some splendid sofa cushions were to be found, prettily designed poker work, Benares brass work, photo frames, and the usual array of fascinating needlework. Then we near the refreshments, a truly bewildering display of dainties, ducks, fowl, chicken, tongues, pies, cakes, sweets of cunning devices, home-made bread, pickles indeed an endless variety of good things, which, needless to add, found ready purchasers. Rarely, if ever, has the Church House presented a prettier appearance, and much credit is due to those who carried out the scheme of decoration and arranged the several stalls. The various stalls were taken as follows :— Parish Church Stall: Mrs David Griffiths and Mrs Lewis Jones, assisted by Misses Griffiths, Sullivan, and Willis, and Messrs D Griffiths, J Foulkes, and B Griffiths. St. Thomas' Stall: Mrs Lloyd (The Vicarage), Mrs Eyton Lloyd, Mrs Storey, Mrs Talbott, Miss Muspratt, Miss Perks, assisted by Miss Alldridge. St. John's Stall Mrs Geary, Mrs Grosvenor, and Miss Webb, assisted by Miss Geary, Mrs Grosvenor, Miss Webb, Miss Arkell, Miss Dillon, the Misses Hatwood, and Miss and Master Greenhalgh. St. Ann's Stall Misses Griffith Jones and Miss Webster, assisted by Mrs Copley and Young Ladies from Elwy Hall. Doll and Toy Stall: Mrs Trehearn, assisted by Mrs Steer, Mrs William Thomas, Miss Mulligan, Miss Dixon, Master Trevor Trehearn and Masters Steer. Christmas Tree Mrs Gamlin and Mrs Wallis, assisted by Miss Manley and Master Gamlin. Refreshment Stall Mrs Edwards and Miss Williams, assisted by Miss Edwards, Mrs Deane, Miss Popplewell, Miss Coffin, and Miss Brownlow. During the sale Mr Asher's orchestra played selections of music, and Mr F Geary gave contributions on the Gramophone. The Vicar said the proceeds of the Christmas Tree and Sale of Work would be distributed, first amongst the great missionary societies, and then what remained would be given to local church objects. From the look of the stalls and the room generally he had every con- fience that the sale would be as successful as its predecessors (applause). He had good reason for thinking so this year, as they were fortunate in having amongst them Lady Florentia Hughes of Kinmel, who had kindly promised to open the sale that afternoon (applause). It was not necessary that ho should introduce her ladyship to them, as she was well-known in Rhyl and, in fact, throughout the country. Her ladyship was always ready to help in any good work, and that was not the first time that she had acceded to his request to officiate on such an occasion (applause). It was not the first time that her ladyship had opened a bazaar at Rhyl, and when he told the stall- holders that Lady Florentia Hughes had promised to open the present one, they realised that it would be a great success (applause). They had also with them the Lord Bishop of the Diocese. He (the Vicar) could not too strongly express his own personal appreciation of the kindness of his lordship in coming there that day. He had some vague idea of the number of claims on his lordship's time, and the pressure of his work. It was marvellous that his lordship should be able to help at such gatherings as that throughout the diocese. His lordship's presence there that day brought home the truth of the old saying that where there was a will there was a way (applause). He had pleasure in asking Lady Florentia Hughes to declare the Sale of Work open (applause). Lady Florentia Hughes said it gave her very groat pleasure to be present that day, and to accede to the Vicar's request to come and declare the bazaar open. She wished it every success, as well as success to the objects for which the funds were required (applause). Dr Eyton Lloyd, in proposing a vote of thanks to Lady Florentia Hughes, said it was a great pleasure and privilege to find that in that parish they had their efforts thus recog- nised by the lady of the Lord Lieutenant of the county (applause). Her ladyship had often before been associated with good work in Rhyl, and her presence there that afternoon would stimulate their efforts to a better appreciation of the objects for which that Sale of Work had been undertaken, and more fully discharge their duties as purchasers (applause). Because after all, the principal object of such gatherings was to acquire money. In the name of the parish he begged to thank Lady Florentia Hughes for her kindness that day (applause). Dr W T Girdlestone seconded and said it gave him much pleasure to see Lady Florentia Hughes amongst them on such a bright day. He hoped that the brightness of the day and of the stalls would in-turn brighten up the purchasing, and that the objects for which that bazaar had been held would accordingly benefit. (Applause). He was also pleased to see the Bishop present, and was surprised that his lordship was able to come down and help at such little social gatherings, as the calls on his time were very numerous (applause). The Bishop said he was not sure that the vote of thanks was not intended for himself (langhter). Last week the Vicar had spoken to him about the opening of the bazaar, and he had told him what to do that day. They saw the result in the presence of Lady Florentia Hughes (applause). He had felt sure that the bazaar would be a success if the Vicar could get Lady Florentia Hughes to be present. He had pleasure in supporting the vote of thanks to her ladyship. As he knew that she had a large number of claims on her time, it was very kind on on her part to open the bazaar, During the twelve years he had had ex- perience in this part of the country her ladyship had always given hearty and generous support to every good cause in the district (applause). With regard to bazaars it was said that the one who could successfully open them was a very clever person, but he felt that if there was held an examination in opening bazaars he would take a very good class, as he had opened a large number. In most places all possible strength was put forward for a bazaar, and when it was over people were thankful that it was finished with for some time. But in Rhyl there was a different feeling to that. Not only was that bazaar an annual event, but quite recently a magnificent bazaar was held in connection with the Alexandra Hospital. He hoped that the bazaar that day, which although not as large was as bright, would be equally successful (applause). People in Rhyl appeared to like bazaars, and he was delighted to find that a large proportion of the receipts would be devoted to missionary work, which had the first claim on the Church of Christ- He also understood that some measure of sup. port would be given to the schools in that parish. It was always a pleasure to come to Rhyl, as there appeared to be a love of work. It was also a pleasure to find support given to the church schools, as Rhyl possessed some of the best school in the diocese (applause). The vote of thanks was carried with applause, and the Vicar then thanked the Bishop for being present. The proceeds of the stalls were as follows:— Holy Trinity, £38 Is S. Thomas', £44 16s S. John's, iC17 38 81-d S. Ann's, £ 15 7s 6d; Doll Stall, A:8 12s 6d Christmas Tree, R8 lis Refreshments, R12 7s Id paid for admission, gZi 8s bd total, A:150 17s 2d. It is intended to hold a jumble sale early in January.

Mutual Life Insurance Co., of New York.- Interosting Presentation. On Friday evening at the Gladstone Temperance Hotel, a meeting of the representatives and some of the policy-holders in the above Company was held. We noticed, amongst others, the Rev A J Parry, D.D., Mr T Pennant Williams, Messrs D E Davies (North Wales Manager), John Williams (Flint), R E Williams (Rhyl), J E Jones (Conway), Daniel Evans (Rhyl), &c, &c. A sumptuous sup- per having been partaken of, and which was ex- cellently served by the Misses Griffit.hs, Mr D E Davies, on behalf of the Company, presented Mr J E Jones, Conway, with a typewriter, being one of the prizes given by the Company to its most successful representative during the first half of this year. In handing the prize to Mr Jones, Mr Davies said that Mr Haldeman (British General Manager), had decided at the commencement of the year to offer prizes to the most successful men in the northern part of the Principality, and he was pleased to learn that Mr J E Jones had won the second prize. He also remarked that Mr Hal- deman regretted his inability to make the presen- tation personally, and that Mr Fletcher Campbell would be too busy to come down and represent him (Mr Haldeman), therefore the duty devolved upon himself (the speaker). He trusted that Mr Jones would continue to introduce a large volume of good business.—Mr Jones acknowledged the presentation in suitable terms, and said he hoped to still deserve the good opinion of Mr Haldeman and the other officers, that he only did his duty, and hoped to continue to do well for the Company. —Suitable remarks were made by Dr Parry and others, whereupon Mr Davies explained fully the advantages offered under the various policies of the Company, and he had large diagrams exhibit- ing the different options under its policies, particu- larly the 3 per cent Gold Bond Policy, also 20 pay]; ment policy respectively, and proved very distinct ly that they combined investment, insurance, and income.—Dr Parry, Messrs Pennant Williams and Daniel Evans asked several questions, which were quite satisfactorily answered by Mr Davies. After further remarks by Messrs J Williams, J E Jones, and R E Williams, Dr Parry, on behalf of those present, said all were delighted with the lucid manner in which the District Manager explained the prominent features of this wealthy Company's policies, and that the speech exemplified the mag' nitude and strength of The Mutual," and was ighly appreciated by all assembled.

REFORM OF THE CHURCH. j THE PARSON'S FREEHOLD. -SHOULD IT BE LIMITED ? I wrote before of the injustice of allowing the bishop so little power to protect the laity- and by that, I repeat, I mean the loyal members of the Church of England '—of a parish against the arbitrary appointment of an obviously UD- suitable incumbent, but the importance of giving the bishop discretion to refuse institution sinks into insignificance when compared with that of enabling the bishop to compel the retirement of an existing incumbent for proved unfitness. I am aware that this means a limitation of the parson's freehold, but let us consider for a moment what the lack of limitation involves. Let a clergyman speak-I quote from Dr. Jessopp'a article in the" Nineteenth Century for March, 1897:— The only ground on which a clergyman can be dismissed from his cure is that he has been found guilty of some grave moral offence I am by no means sure that a man could be deprived of his preferment for habitual evil-speaking, lying, or slandering, or for very gro's neglect of his parishioners, or for many another breach of decorum, to give such matters as I refer to the mildest possible name. For conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman an officer in the Army is called upon to leave his regiment, and without appeal. For exhibiting incompetence in his profession, a want of presence of mind, or even for an indiscretion or error of juigment, an officer in the Navy is broaght to a court-martial and is dismissed the service. For breaches of professional etiquette a solicitor is struck off the rolls, and a barrister is in some cases disbarred. In all theq instances there need have been no violation of what we now cdl the moral law. But in the case of a clergyman, he may enjoy his benefice to his dying day so only that he does not commit theft, murder, or adultery, and this though he may be notoriously and flagrantly unsuited to the place and the people nnder his charge, and much more nearly a curse than a blessing to the parish in which he lives. And who is the better for all this? Only the bad man who sulks behind the law, and who stands upon his rights, forsooth! As if the parson was the only man in the community who had any right to boast of, and the only man who had no duties which honour and conscience de- manded at his hands.' It would be most unbecoming for a layman like myself to affirm such things of his spiritual pastors and masters but it would be absolutely immoral for him to deny that with the exception of some small modifications made by the Benefices Act of 1898 they are substantially true. But what is proved unfitness '? A naw clergy- man comes to a parish he finds a full church, an empty chapel, a flourishing National School. He empties the first, he fills the second, he closes the third: is not this 'proved unfitness'? Yet no power on earth short of an Act. of Parliament can turn him out unless immorality can be proved against him, if only he performs his two services on Sunday (possibly in the most perfunctory manner). He may for fifty years be the curse of the parish, ruining- the cause there which he nominally represents and making Church Defence impossible in the whole countryside where his shortcomings are nolorioiiq. It may be objected, Who is to decide proved unfitness ?' This is one of the questions which only a really representative Church body for the whole of England and Wales could suitably settle, but I may say that it is as obvious that the parson should be no more dependent on the pre- judices of his people than they should bo on the arbitrariness of their paison. Surely common- sense could devise some method which should avoid the semi-papal autocracy of the parson or bishop, and at the same time prevent the parson btcoming tie dependent minister of an indepen- dent congregation.' I may merely hint at the bishop being given power to declare the living vacint if a Commission similar to that under the Benefices A t, 1898, unanimously reported in that sense. In the Established Church of Scotland the parson's freehold exists, yet the General Assembly can remove a minister for proved insufficiency,' but in practice it is rarely done, owing to the sympathy of his brother ministers,' a correspon- dent tells me, so I presume similar powers would not work harshly with us, Then as regirds the equity of such a course. We mu^t remember that in accepting a living a clergyman must be Liken to admit that he considers himself com- petent to discbarge its duties no one compels or even asks him to take it, and if he proves to be a disastrous failure owing to his own misconduct, laziness, or unfitness, why should the parish, which had no voice in his appointment, suffer for a generation because he formed a wrong estimate of bis own powers ? I must add one word as to ompulsory retire- ment when it is owing to old age or infirmity. Two things are necessary here to prevent injustice being done. First, a sufficient, if modest, re- tiring pension must be provided; and, stcondly, the same rule must be mado to apply tj deans and canons as to rectors and vicars. My own experience is tl,is the better the work the cathedral dignitary has done in the past the more needful it is for someone to tell him when he can do it no longer I need hardly add that I have bpent most of my life in or near cathidral cities. But we are told that if we attempt to tamper with the parson's freehold, that only article of an Englishman's creed which even the most latitudinarian indifferentism of the eighteenth century never dared to question,' we shall rob the clergyman of his independence, and the Church will no longer attract to her ministry her noblest and most accomplished sons. I ask two plain simple questions. We know that the Endowed Schools Act, 1838, has robbed the headmaster- ships of our great public schools of their free- hold character, and that all new appointments are held subject to the pleasure of the governing bodies, yet (1) are our present headmasters wanting in independence: and (2) do not our public schools continue to attract the ablest and best of English scholars to be their heads ?
