Welsh Baptist Cymanfa.I

Welsh Baptist Cymanfa. I THE FORTHCOMING CONFERENCE AT OLD COLWYN. Two hundred and sixty years have passed since an excellent Welshman became the pioneer in Wales of what we would to-day describe as Free Churches. This was John Myles, who was made to suffer so many indignities for his fidelity to con- science. Among the many forms of persecution this good man was obliged to undergo, there is room to mention one. His innocent daughter diea, and the remains were committed to their peace- ful and legitimate resting place in the Church- yard of her native parish. But because of her father's religious convictions, her body was exhumed by the authorities and indecently re- buried in a crossway, in order," as one historian says, to perpetuate the scandal on her beloved father, whose crime was no more than this, that he went forth in those dark days preaching the Gospel to his fellow countrymen." In 1649, a petition was presented to Parlia- ment wherein it was declared that no sermons were preached in the parish Churches, except one every three months. In the following February a law was enacted for the Propagation of the Gospel in Wales. It was by virtue of this Act that this pious man, John Myles, of whom no mention is ever made in Encyclopaedia Cambrensis, either in the early or succeeding editions or addenda, emerged from the moral darkness which then covered the land, and so exercised himself that he is ever since known in history as the Father of the Associations in Wales." It was he who originated the Welsh Baptist Strict Communionist Churches in the Princi- pality as now known, and became the founder of the Cymanfa," their highest organized tribunal and from his days until now, with the exception of 30 years under Charles II. and James II., a period of persecution, the Cyman- fa has been held in an unbroken succession. What spiritual, social, political and educa- tional movements it has since then advanced, it is not our object here to dwell upon. The Conference, which is a branch of this highly developed system, is about to be held at Old Colwyn on June 6th, 7th and 8th. A like conference and meetings were held here 34 years ago, when many movements already estab- lished were advanced, and others initiated, liie preachers-elect then were the Revs. G. R. Jones and W. Edwards, both of Cefn Mawr Henry Morgan, of Dolgelley; Hugh Jones, D.D., Prin- cipal ot Llangollen College; J. R. Morgan, the noted Lleurwg of Llanelly; L. Evans, Castleton; Evan Thomas, of Newport; John Thomas, of Carmarthen J. Robinson, of Llan- silin, who in youth was a contemporary of Christmas Evans-all who have long since passed to rest; the Revs. Charles Davies, of Cardiff; H. C. Williams (Cernyw), of Corwen; Isaac James, Ruthin; O. Davies, D.D., of Carnarvon, and A. J. Parry, D.D., of Rhyl, still surviving. The present Cymanfa includes the three Northern Counties, Denbigh, Flint and Merion- eth, and consists of 8137 members, with about twice that number of adherents, and represents some 24,000 worshippers. Its most prominent features are the Foreign and Home Missions, Building Loan Fund, Bible Translations Society and Sunday School Union. It is formed into eight divisions, each holding four sittings a year, besides the general half yearly and the annual Conferences; the whole again are in- cluded in the Baptist Union of Wales, which again, although having its home management, is incorporated in the Baptist Union of Great Britain and Ireland. The divisions here consists of 120 churches, having about 50 settled pastors, 28 assistant pastors, and 50 assistant preachers. The list of officers includes the following names: Chairman, Mr. Owen Owens, of Liverpool; Vice-Chairman, Rev. Moses Roberts, deceased, of Llangollen; Treasurer, Mr. J. N. Edwards, of Festiniog Secretary, Rev. Edwin Jones, of Barmouth. The pastors in the divis- ion are hard-working ministers, whose time and energy are greatly taxed by home calls inter- spersed with many engagements in South Wales churches. Among the most prominent are Rev. J. Hughes, Manchester, ex-chairman; Rev. Joseph Davies, of Birkenhaed, author of The Birkenhead Baptists A. J. Parry, D.D., of Rhyl, who has been in the ministry both in England and Wales for 52 years, and has issued many works in English and Welsh; the Rev. H. Cernyw Williams, a poet, a divine, ex- chairman of the Baptist Union of Wales Rev. David Powell, Everton, Liverpool, a far reach- ing critic in subjects divine, expository and otherwise; the Rev. E. K. Jones, of Brymbo, an able preacher, and an ardent educationist; the Rev. T. Frimstone (Tudur Clwyd), Colwyn (under the auspices of whose church the Cym- manfa is now here held), a veteran of rich and varied experience; Rev. W. G. Owen (Llifon), an able preacher and well known on Eistedd- fodic platforms the Rev. D. Davies, of Har- lech, who in himself forms the connecting link in the bringing together and uniting the Scotch Baptists in Wales and the Welsh Baptists Rev. Peter Williams (Pedr Hir), Liverpool, a preacher well known throughout the Principality; Rev. E. Cefni Jones, of Festiniog, author of an ex- cellent Commentary on the Thessalonians Rev. E. Mitchell, of Ponkey, an original preacher; Rev. R. E. Williams, Holywell, a competent exegete; Rev. Peter Jones, of Col- wyn Bay, an earnest and powerful preacher; and our neighbour Rev. W. Hughes at the head of the African Institute. A VERSATILE PASTOR. lne Kev. 1. Frimstone, the pastor, to whom I reference has already been made, has been a minister for 31 years, and has laboured with equal acceptance and success in North and South Wales, his services being much in de- mand at both Welsh and English anniversaries. He has preached and read several papers before the Welsh Baptist Union. As a lecturer he has gained great renown, his lectures including such subjects as Beibl a Gwyddoniaeth," Meib Athrylith," Rhyfeddodau Natur," Yr Hen Gymry," Ofergoelion yr Hen Gymry," and Hen Gymru." Mr. Frimstone wields the pen of a ready writer among his best books being Y Cyssonydd Ysgrythyrol," whilst at leading Eisteddfodau he has gained the essay prizes for very difficult subjects. Amongst his Eis- teddfodic successes may be mentioned the following:—"Antiquities of Flintshire," £20 (1892) Cymry Enwog America a'r Talaethau Prydeinig," /15 (1893); Crefydd ym Mhlwyf Rhiwabon," £ 5 and silver medal (1893). He is one of the contributors to the excellent "Gwydd- oniadur Cymreig," and the translator for the Royal National Lifeboat Institution. Further recognition of his literary abilities will be found in the fact that at last year's Association Mr. t rimstone was appointed one of the three English reporters of its proceedings. Tudur Clwyd is a member of the ancient Gorsedd of the Bards of the Isle of Britain, and has ren- dered invaluable service as a member of some of the Committees in connection with the Colwyn Bay National Eisteddfod of 1910; con- tributing some of the articles contained in the booklet issued on Proclamation Day. Mr. Frimstone, who is as popular as he is versatile, possesses a very genial and attractive person- ality, and is to-day as enthusiastic and energetic as when he began his long and distinguished career. We hope he may long be spared to serve the highest interests of his native land. These and other ministers within the Cymanfa division will officiate at the forthcoming meet- ings, the two coming from afar being the Rev. Charles Davies of Cardiff (who also preached at the Cymanfa here in 1876), and the Rev. E. T. Jones, of Llanelly, than whom no preachers have so efficiently and so appreci- ably served the Principality. A souvenir is published in connection with this Cymanfa, being a re-print of an article in Seren Gomer," the principal periodical of the denomination, on Early Vestiges of Baptists in North Wales," prior to their present organ- ization, by the Rev. T. Frimstone, in which is clearly traced the continuous existence and pro- gress of Immersionists obtaining in these parts from the Roman period down to the seventeenth century. That this denomination is representative of and advances religious principles of no mean repute is evidenced, especially in these days, by the report of the Daily News," of the con- version on the continent of men in the highest version on the Continent of men in the highest positions and whole Jewish families to their F, ankfort, Hamburg, Vienna, Prague, &c., people (Jews) are baptized openly. They are not ashamed to announce openly in the papers that they have changed their faith." And accord- ing to a Jewish article in To Day," this Missionary work among the Jews u threatens to annihilate our people—the move- ment towards baptism." Neander long ago said There is a future for the Baptists, and judging from recent events and the accession of so many converts in so many lands of so many nations to the adoption and profession of these principles to-day, this future seems already fast appjoaching. Christendom East and West reverts to the apos- tolic rule. An account of the meetings held in connection with the Cymanfa will duly appear in our columns. Meanwhile, we wish the un- tiring Secretary and the energetic pastor and all concernod God-speed.
Summer Thirst and its Quenching.

Summer Thirst and its Quenching. The sensation of thirst is not confined to any particular period of the year, but it is certainly more prominent during the summer than at any other time. Summer thirst, however, is not a disagreeable condition—due to some form of ill- health, but the natural result of the hot weather which, tending to over activity of the skin, causes much of that water which is necessary to the system to be lost by evaporation. Na- ture, however, will not remain unprotesting under a loss, and by thirst makes known its de- mands for that water which is required to keep the system in a proper state of health. What shall I drink ? is a question fre- quently heard in the summer season, when thirst is an everyday experience, and there is present a natural desire to quench it with the very best and purest beverage, the question is really ox more importance than might, at first, be imag- ined, for it is a grave mistake to make use of any drink the absolute purity of which can ever be questioned. Common kinds of ginger beer and ginger ale should be avoided, for an inferior beverage of this nature is not only useless as a thirst quencher, but through the action of fil- ling the digestive canal with flatulence, is often the means of bringing about real misery. A drink which may be confidently recommend- ed to all readers, is the well-known ginger ale manufactured by Messrs. Cantrell & Cochrane, at their works in Belfast and Dublin. This firm, which was established in 1852, has undoubtedly solved the conundrum of how to produce a drink which is at once thirst quenching, stimulating, refreshing, and wholesome. Ordinary aerated waters are unsatisfactory, on many acounts they are excessively gaseous, poppy," and as has been said, have not even the desired effect of allaying the thirst. None of these disadvantages, however, are to be found in connection with Messrs. Cantrell & Coch- rane's beverages. The ingredients used are of the very finest quality, and the water, procured from the famous St. Patrick's Well and the Cromac Springs, is the purest and freshest spring water which can be obtained. This delicious ginger ale is clear as amber, sparkles like the finest of champagne, and really justifies the claim of thirst-quencher. Indeed, readers wishing for the most satisfactory beverage could not be ad- vised to try a more contenting and pleasant drink. Ginger is a stimulating aromatic, ex- ceedingly valuable for the alleviation of chronic dyspepsia, flatulence and colic, and an import- ant point in connection with Messrs. Cantrell & Cochrane's non-alcoholic ale is the fine quality of genuine tropical ginger used. Purity should be the first consideration of anyone ordering a beverage these summer days —or, indeed, at any time,—and it is very evi- dent that purity is the first consideration in the manufacture of Messrs. Cantrell & Cochrane's ginger ale. It is curious that the Well of St. Patrick, which in olden times was visited by the Primates of Armagh and their attendants, who drank to the memory of the Patron Saint, should for many centuries have been unknown save to a few antiquaries. It was when Messrs. Cantrell & Cochrane rediscovered the wonderful quali- ties of the waters, that St. Patrick's Well sprang again into prominence, and there is little doubt that this fortunate discovery helped largely to the success of the firm as manufacturers of absolutely pure mineral waters. Then again, a firm of the size and import- ance of Messrs. Cantrell & Cochrane are natur- ally in a position to secure the very best ingredi- ents for the manufacture of their various bever- ages. Their celebrated ginger ale is manufac- tured by a special process, a process which in- sures the retaining of the healthful properties of the ingredients, and the natural freshness of the water itself. It has been found, too, that this particular ginger ale is free from the hot, throat-burning flavour to be found in many other beverages of a like name, but dissimilar in q uality, and has a singularly pleasant and delicate flavour —due, no doubt, to the refined nature of the water and the materials used in the composi- tion. That this ginger ale is thoroughly wholesome and pure is evidenced by the fact that it may be taken with as great safety and freedom by child- ren as by the grown ups." As evidence of the universal popularity of the famous mineral waters manufactured by Messrs. Cantrell & Cochrane, and the esteem in which they are held, it need only be mentioned that this firm are purveyors to the Royal household, and to the Imperial Houses of Parliament, and that they have been awarded 35 gold and prize medals for .the excellence and purity of their water. Certainly readers would do well to ask for this ginger ale, for it is always good policy to use the best and, in this case, the best is happily easily obtained.

Mr. Lloyd-George as Welsh Nationalist. At the annual meeting of the Court of Govern- ors of the National Library of Wales, 011 Satur- day, Mr. J. Herbert Lewis, M.P. (Vice-President), in the chair, a letter was read from the Treasury stating that it had been decided to ask Parlia- ment to vote in the Estimates for 1910-11 and subsequent years a sum of ^4,000 as the grant in aid of the expenditure of the National Library, and also for the ensuing two years a further sum of /500 for the special purpose of binding and cataloguing manuscripts. The original grant to the Library was £ 2,500 per annum. The reading of the letter caused great satisfac- tion, and Sir Marchant Williams moved a vote of thanks to the Chancellor of the Exchequer for his interests in the objects and claims of the Lib- rary. The mover said they had in Mr. Lloyd George a real Nationalist, and whenever they appealed to him on anything relating to Wales they always found him on the spot. Mr. Morgan Tutton, of Swansea, seconded the proposition, which was unanimously carried.

I Conway Board of Conservators THE CHARGES MADE BY MR. ISGOED JONES. ANOTHER ANIMATED DISCUSSION. At a recent meeting of the Conway Board of Conservators, Mr. O. Isgoed Jones, of Llanrwst, who was in the chair at the time, made certain statements as to the pollution of the river by sewage, mines, dyeworks, &c., and a committee was appointed to report upon the matter. A special meeting was held on Friday after- noon, at Llanrwst, with a view to the report of the committee being considered. Mr. J. Blackwall presided, and after a vote of condolence with the Queen-Mother and King and Queen upon the death of His Majesty Edward VII. had been passed, the question of the report was considered. COUNCILLORS SURPRISED. Mr. W. J. Williams (Llanrwst) said he objected to the report being received. He was very much surprised to read in the report of the last meeting of the Conservators the serious state- ments which Mr. Isgoed Jones had made. As members of the Llanrwst Council, Mr. Mills and he (the speaker) were astonished at Mr. Isgoed Jones's action, seeing that nothing had occurred in the last few years which had not existed for some time to the knowledge of Mr. Isgoed Jones. He moved that the report of the committee be not received until after the conclusion of the action at law which was now before the courts. CORPORATION FLABBERGASTED." Dr. R. Arthur-Prichard (Conway) seconded the motion. He said he was surprised at Mr. Isgoed Jones, who knew the River Conway so well, and that it was one of the finest of the rivers. The Dee was not in it, nor any of the big rivers, for fish, and the waters had been analysed and found to be perfectly pure. It had a rapid current there was no river with such a current to carry away any pollution, if there were any. The Conway Corporation were flabbergasted by the speech when they read it, but they decided to treat it with contempt, and were sorry some of the other Boards did not do the same thing. NO WITHDRAWAL. Mr. O. Isgoed Jones said he made no accusa- tion against the river. He had as much interest in the river as any Conservator, or owner of pro- perty, or anyone else. He was prompted to say what he did by statements, repeated statements, by their head water bailiff. The Board knew very well they had had complaints of pollution in a great many ways, and they had written and taken action, and nothing further had been done. He thought it was time the public should know the exact position. It was not done from any personal motive whatsoever. It was unfortu- nate that there was an action pending between himself and the Llanrwst Urban District Council, but that was of a personal nature but his action at that Board was taken as a member of the River Conservators and as nothing else. As a member of that Board he said that they ought to do their duty otherwise they were not doing justice to the authorities that had elected them. The statements he made at the last meeting were true, every word. He could not withdraw one of them, and the report of the Committee em- phasised every point. The Chairman objected to the report being referred to until it had been read. Mr. Isgoed Jones I am not going further than to defend myself. Mr. W. J. Williams May I ask Mr. Isgoed Jones one question ? Is this a true account of his speech at the last meeting I must admit that it is a wonder to me that the fishing is as good as it is in the Conway considering (and this is a serious charge to make) that the River Con- way is the most polluted river in the country ? Mr. Isgoed Jones There is a slight error in the statement of the paper. What I meant to say was in the whole of North Wales." Mr. W. J. Williams: Does Mr. Isgoed Jones stick to that ? Mr. Isgoed Jones I do. After some brisk exchanges, Mr. Isgoed Jones went on to speak of the pollution of the river, saying that sewage went into it untreated. At other places there were settling tanks, but they were full to the brim and were not cleaned out. That was one complaint the Board had against other authorities. The mines they had had repeatedly before them, and in fact they had threatened proceedings against many of them, and, as to the factories, the minutes showed that the proprietors had been called to account for allowing poisonous liquid to run into the river. That was diminished to a certain extent, but still they had to be carefully watched. He wished to see the fishery improved in every possible way. Experienced fishermen said that there were not the number of salmon in the river that there used to be. What was the cause of it ? As to trout, they could be found where the sew- age was, but salmon were not. All this effluent was running into the Conway, and the Board's duty was to look after the fishery in every pos- sible way, Was it right to shut their eyes at the things they saw going on from day to day ? He thought that the report should be submitted to the meeting. SPEECH DECLARED CONTRADICTORY. Dr R. A. Prichard said that Mr. Isgoed Jones's speech was contradictory. The pollution from the mines had been mentioned often enough at the meeting, and steps had always been taken to check it. Mr. Jones declared the river to be abominably polluted, and at the same time ad- mitted that the nuisance was abated. Mr. W. J. Williams asked if there was a single word in the bailiff's report at the last meeting dealing with the question of pollution. The Clerk (Mr. Allard) said he had not got the report before him, but he did not recollect that there was. The Chairman said he understood that if they received the report and allowed it to be pub- lished it would prejudice the action which was pending between Mr. Isgoed Jones and the Dis- trict Council. As the matter was sub-judice, he hoped the Board would consider what they were doing. Mr. Isgoed Jones moved an amendment that the report be received. This was seconded by Mr. T. W. Griffith, on the understanding that the report would be con- sidered in committee. It was, however, voted for only by the mover and seconder, and the motion of Mr. W. J. Wil- liams to defer the reception of the report until after the legal proceedings now pending was carried.

Royal Cambrian Academy of Art. THE EXHIBITION AT PLAS MAWR, CONWAY. (SECOND NOTICE.) My previous notice of the exhibition of the Royal Cambrian Academy of Art had to be hastily concluded as, in consequence of the lamented death of King Edward the VII., I was drafted on to other work, and space was conse- quently limited. In referring again to my catalogue notes I find among other pictures worthy of special men- tion a very carefully finished drawing by Annie Thring (No. 4), Resignation," which will repay very careful examination it has evidently been a labour of love. Ralph W. Bardell shows several good drawings, notably Ncs. 25, 279,285, and 315, The haunt of the Kingfisher his work reminds one, of the work of Peter Ghent years ago. William Egginton, I notice with pleasure, is becoming very strong his only two drawings, Nos. 12 and 14, are choice, good in drawing, and exceptionally good in colour. Joseph Finnemore is well represented with No. 20, Say Please," and 261, "A lesson in Eng- lish," a bright, happy looking child teaching her dolls. George Cockram has three careful draw- ings, Nos. 35, 133, and 144 they are represen- tative work, of good quality. Arthur Nether- wood is well represented with Nos. 48, 181, and 210. "Autumn in the Glen" and "Through the Woods show Mr. Netherwood at his best; the excellent perspective and colour give a sur- prising reality to the work; the sheep coming down the lane in No. 210 are cleverly introduced. Norman Netherwood sends only two small works, Nos. 2 and 250, both local subjects—No. 2 from Deganwy looking to the Isle of Anglesey, an evening etfect. Harold Harvey has two strong oils, both in the Victoria Room. W. S. Parkyn sends, as usual, some fine marine paintings, the roll of the waves being life-like, the battleships introduced helping the reality of the pictures, which are of his best another work, a drawing, by Mr. Parkyn (No. 236), Etaples," is quite a different style, but equally effective, the fore- ground of sand being excellent in quality. Ther- esa Barrett, with 224 and 228, is quite successful; nice subjects and well treated. Jungle court- ship (No. 240), by Tom Heywood, is a careful drawing of a couple of tigers, fine in colour. "Poppies" (No. 251), by Clara C. Perrin, is quite equal to anything she has done. L. Bur- leigh Bruhl sends four drawings of high merit, No. 253, Forenoon, Leigh, Essex," being a fine, delicate drawing. Henry Meacham has two in- teresting drawings. Nos. 265 and 273. Henrv Stannard, in No. 274, Waiting for Father," reminds one of Birket Foster's subjects. George Harrison is represented by onlv two small draw- ings, No. 275 and a good drawing of The Old Mill at Coiwyn Bay (No. 284). Herbert p. Weaver has a highly finished head of an Italian girl in No. 287, which will bear the closest exam- ination. Mr. Weaver has several other drawings of old houses, in his best style these subjects suit him admirably. Alfred W. Strutt contri- butes several small works. Albert Kinsley sends a number of choice drawings-beautiful work that ought to sell like hot rolls before breakfast. Lily F. W haite (Mrs. Harries) shows two smal 1 drawings, Nos. 308 and 313, very painstaking work. Miss Finnemore has put a large amount of work into her small drawing entitled Cin- derella (No. 319) it is very well worth close inspection, being a most effective little picture. Warren Williams has several of his interesting drawings. No. 296 being a breezy bit with the sea all alive. The exhibition will be one of the attractions of the season, and will close in Sep- tember.
