RHOS-ON-SEA. NEW CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH.—On Sunday morning and evening, the pulpit at this Church was occupied by the Rev. J. G. Green- bough, M.A., Leicester. EASTER FESTIVITIES.—Very chaximng were the performances OIf the quaint Dutch comedy, "Jan of Windmill Land," given on Monday and Tuesday to. good houses, who thoroughly appreciated the capital work of the children. Miss Iris Aslhby sanig new topical songs with great success. To-morrow (Friday) a whist drive and fancy dress ball is to be held in the Church Room. EASTER AT THE PARISH CHURCH.- Beautiful services were held at St. Trillo's Church oil Easter Day, many people being un- able to get further than the porch. The sacred edifice was most tastefully decorated. There were 145 communicants at the seven o'clock celebration, and tliis number, with those at the other services, amounted to 373 during the day. Special music was sung, including two anthems. A children's ice was held in the afternoon. The services were very bright and hearty. EASTER VESTRY.—The Vicar (the Rev. E. James Evans, presided over the Easter Vestry, which was held on Monday, when he gave a report for the year, which was considered very saitisifiactoa-y. The offertories were a record. Mr. "Robert Barlow wa's elected Vicar's warden; Mr. T. Griffith, LIaninerch-road, people's war- den.. The sidesmen were re-elected en bloc, with the addition, of Messrs. Stanley Horton, Spencer, Berts, and Meadows. The Vicar pro- posed a vote of thanks to the outgoing wardens for their loyal and faithful work.

LLANDDULAS. THE PARISH COUNCIL.—Great interest has been taken in Llanddulas regarding the fate of the old Parish Council. For some reason or other, there was an opinion abroad that the Council did not advance the cause of the Parish as it should. The Council was to blame for not taking the parishioners into their confidence, and the majority of the ratepayers feel that there are several problems requiring immediate attention, such as workmen's dwellings, drain- age, water supply, and the lighting of dangerous places in the village during the dark winter nights. No fault is to. be found with the present drainage system as far as it goes; but the fact that there is not a better system in existence retards the building of new houses in the dis- trict for which there is a great demand by work- men and others. To face these difficulties it requires a body of men with business taot and determination. Therefore, it is pleasing to think we have in the new Council men fit for the work, and will carry it through. The parish- ioners are proud that wise cousels prevailed at the Parish meeting, and an election avoided. The new members. elected are Mr. B. H. Jones, Schoolmaster, who headed the list; the Rev. J. A. Enoch (Congregational Minister), Mr. David Williams, Bodafon, and Mr. Hugh Hughes, Mill- street. The re-elected membelrs are Canon Roberts, Messrs. R. B. Roberts, Fair View Inn, and Edwin Jones, grocer. Canon, Roberts has been a faithful member, and did well for the village at the St. Asaph (Denbigh) Rural Dis- trict Council, and Mr. R. B. Roberts is also an excellent member. It is hoped that the new Council will shew itself capable of overcoming the difficulties which it will undoubtedly be met with. QUARRY ACCIDENT.—On Tuesday last an accident betfel an employee at Messrs. Kneeshaw, Lupton, and Co.'s quarries. Whilst Thomas Williams, of Llysfaen, was working at the quarry he had the misfortune to have his leg broken, and was conveyed to the Colwyn Cottage Hospital, where he is progressing as well as can be expected. Williams is a married man with a family, and is well known and very highly respected.

Since his arrival in Colwvn six months ago the choir has much improved. PERSONAL.—Much sympathy is (felt with Miss Evans, Her than Housie, in her somewhat serious illness. She has been a respected resi- dent at Colwyn for over siXity years. Many people in the district will learn with regret of the death of Mrs. Evans's brother-in-law, Mr. Shepherd, of Wariington, who was a frequent visitor to Colwyn.

EASTERTIDE.—The number of visitors— considering the early date of Easter this year— has been quite up to the average, and the town has fully awakened from its winter slumber to one of refreshing activity. The town on Thurs- day evening, which might be called the first day af the season, looked quite gay, all the places of business, together with the palatial hotels and boarding houses, being brilliantly illuminated. Particularly bright was the Pier and Pavilion and the magnificent Grand Hotel.

Mr. Osborne Roberts is shortly to be married to Miss Underwood, of this town. THE ST. TUDNO.—Better or more appro- I priate weather could not have been devised for the success of the Liverpool and North Wales stearmship season than has been the case this year.

CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOUR ANNIVER- SARY.—The third anniversary meeting of the Church, Broad-street, on Tuesday evening, when the President, the Rev J. Luther Thomas, occupied the chair. The meeting was addressed by the Rev. David Griffiths, the blind pastor of Colwyn Bay. Solos were given by Miss Higginbottom, of Llandudno. Mr. Glyn Llew- elyn Jones prepared a good paper on "Charac- ter," and owing to his inability to be present the essay was read by Mrs. Squirrel!. An ex- cellent recitation was also given by Miss Gertie Powell, entitled The Wreck." Votes of thanks were proposed by Mr. Powell and seconded by Mrs. Griffiths. The President said a few re- marks about Mr. Powell, who is leaving the district for Swansea. The Christian Endeavour will miss him and family very much, as they have taken such an active part in and attended the meetings of the Society regularly. Mr. Griffiths gave a very fine address on "The Building of the Church," and Miss Higginibot- tDm sang I gave my life for thee," and "Though your sins be as scarlet" in a beautirful manner. S\ MPATIIY.—Quite a gloom was cast over the Junction when the news was heard of the tragic death of the winsome little six-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. H. Rogers Jones, of The Phar- macy, who died from burns received on Sun- day. The little fellow was a bright and clever little boy, and beloved by all who knew him.

BRYNYMAEN VESTRY MEETING.—The Vestry was held at Christ Church, Brynymaen, on Monday, at 11 a.m., the Vicar, Rev. R. Owen, M.A., Oxon., presiding.

Mr. Barnes declined to be re-appointed, having served since the Church was consecrated by the Bishop of St. Asaph in 1897. The Vicar there- fore appointed as his wardens Messrs. Sarson and Jones. The parishioners elected unani- mously Miss Frost and Mr. Hugh Jones as their wardens. The Vicar then appointed his four Sidesmen, Messrs. Mellor, Hughes, Roberts, and Barnes; the parishioners appointed Messrs. Dukes, Riley, Lawrence, and Turner. The Vicar also appointed Mr. Jas. Burwell as organist, Mr. Llewelyn Davies as leader of the choir, and Mr. John Jones, Pant, as verger. A vote of thanks was passed to the retiring officers, which was acknowledged by Mr. Barnes, who then pro- posed a vote of thanks to the Vicar for presid- ing, which was duly acknowledged. SPECIAL CONCERT. The undoubted popularity of Mr. Harry Reynolds is due in no small measure to the eagerness he invariably displays to help any deserving cause. His latest action has been to arrange a special con- cert on Wednesday evening, the proceeds of which will be in aid of the funds of the local association of the Y.M.C.A. Several artistes have been engaged for this occasion, and it is hoped that Mr. Reynolds himself will be able to appear. Needless to say the ever popular animated pictures will provid-e a part of what promises to be a very .attractive programme.
