Rhyl Welsh Wesleyati j Quarterly Meeting. The above meeting was held at Bethel, Pres- tatyn, on Thursday afternoon, Juno 30th. The Rev T Owen Jones (Tryfan) presided, and the devotional part was conducted by Mr Richard Edwards, Rhyl. Messrs Peter Holland Hughes and Thomas Hushes, Meliden, were thanked for their services as treasurer and secretary of the fund for assisting candidates for the ministry, and were re-elected. Messrs J F Griffiths, Rhyl, treasurer of the foreign mission fund, and J R Hughes, Rhyl, secretary, were thanked and re-elected. It was stated that there is a grooving conviction in some of tho churches that it is not to the best advantage that the Sunday school should be held in the morning, and that a strong feeling in favour of a change to the afternoon exists. But the difficulty of supplying the pulpit with preachers, especially the ordained ministers, arises, as it means that they will only preach twice each Sunday, instead of three times as hitherto. A committee comprising two from each church was appointed to consider the whole question and to report to the next meeting. The sum of E72 13.s 6d was received towards circuit expenses, leaving an adverse balance in the bank of zEl 18s 2d. The number of mem- bers is )54, an increase of 5 on last quarter. Names were submitted to the meeting, by a select committee, of ministers to be invited to succeed Rev A W Davies in IIJ14. Three were selected. It was mutually agreed that no minister ij to be invited to this circuit in future until the list of names is considered by a com- mittee, and submitted to the quarterly meeting for confirmation. A notice of motion was given by Mr W M Williams That means be provided by the circuit to convey preachers to their respective homes on Sunday evenings." As the Rev E Mostyn Jones will bo leaving in September for Talsarnau, this was, there- foro, his last meeting in this circuit. After an expression of kindly feeling had been given by a representative of each church in the circuit-, the following resolution was unanimously passed:—"That this meeting desires to ex- press its gratification at the faithful manner in which tha Rev E Mostyn Jones has discharged his ministerial duties and its appreciation of his edifying and acceptable preaching during his term of office and that we wish him and his beloved wife the richest blessings of the Most High, temporally and spiritually. We further wish to record our appreciation of the valuable service of Mrs E Mostyn Jones, as an ideal minister's wife and that this resolution be duly recorded in the minutes." The Rev E Mostyn Jones expressed his thanks for their kind words, and spoke of the invariable kind- ness he and his wife had received in the circuit. He was leaving many loving friends behind him, and to part with the circuit where he spent the happiest time of his ministerial career caused a very painful wrench to both. The Rev Joseph Owen led in prayer to close a very interesting meeting. Those attending adjourned to the schoolroom, where tea was provided at the expense of four ladies and a gentleman (whose names were not given). Mrs Thomas Williams, MrsT P Wil- liams, Mrs Hughes, and Mrs E Mostyn Jones presided at the tables. A vote of thanks was proposed by Mr R Griffiths, Rhuddlan, seconded by Mr J Jones, Rhyl, supported by Mr R Edwards, Rhyl, and Mr C Jones, Prestatyn, and carried with ac- clamation. The Rev E M Jones responded in suitable terms.
