CHURCH OF ENGLAND j AND TEMPERANCE. ] THE FORWARD MOVEMENT. THE RECTOR ON "TREATING." A series of meetings in connection with the forward movement' of the Church of England Temperance Society have been held in the parish of Llandudno during the current week, the principal speakers .being the Rev. Griffith Roberts. Dean of Bangor; Canon Williams, and the well- known temperance worker, Alderman Harry Phillips. of West Ham. Thtr Rector, the Rev. Ll. R. Hughes, M.A., delivered a, sermon at Holy Trinity Church on Sunday night, in connection with the movement, and on Monday nigh-c a children's meeting was held ait the Town Hall. MEETING FOR WORKERS. The Hector presided over a meeting of Temperance workers held in the Church House, Trinity Street, on Tuesday after- noon, when a large number of ladies and gentlemen were-, present. Addresses were delivered, by the Dean of Bangor, and the Rev. Robert Wil- liams; Ljianbedr-v-Cenin, the latter of whom dealt: with the. geat, need of more workers in the cause. Out of every ten thousand people there were possibly one, thousand who were teetotallers and another thousand who drank to excess. The remainder were moderate drinkers, and the Church wanted their assistance in the cause of temperance. PUBLIC MEETING IN THE TOWN HALL. A public meeting was held in the Town zn Hall the same evening. The Rector pre- sided, and was supported on the platform by the, Dean of Bangor, Canon Williams, Rev. J. Raymond, Rev. W. E. Jones, Rev. E. Lumlev, Mr Harry Phillips, Mr O. W. Roberts and Mr D. Pierce Jones (lay reader). There was a. large atten- dance. THE RECTOR ON TREATING." The Rector said he was glad to see so many present to hear about the forward movement of the Church of Engjland Mis- sionary Society, which was going on throughout, the land. He did nott intend to say anything about the movement that night with such an array of speakers on the platform. They would hear what. the basis of the Church of England Tem- perance Soci,ety was and what its prin- ciples were from those speakers. Atten- tion would be called to the fact that the work was a wide one, and they would be invited to join in the battle against tihe scourge of intemperance.-(Ap- plause.) It was not his part that night to press home the truths, but he could assure them that part would not be neglected. There were, however, two or three things which he did not remember having heard mentioned before upon which he would like to say a few words. The present was an age, more perhaps than any other age, in which great atlen- txon was given to the body and its work. It was an age when athletic sports had been developed to an ext,ent, and assumed an importance never before experienced in the history of the woiicl. He had not a, word to, say against any healthy athletic sport, for he had taken part in nearly every form of British sport. He had gone to see cricket and football matches, captained a cricket team, rowed in his college boat, hunted and sailed yachts. He knew from what. he saw with regard to sport that there was a great change in the conditions under which it was follow- ed. On the one hand it demanded an ah;.(-iiience from. alicohoiSc liquors—(ap- plause)—and abstinence was practised by those who took part. in the games. But there was also a, great danger in sport arising, out, of the feeling of good fellow- ship or good comradeship which it created. That eviil wa,s the custom to treating. For instance, say four young men after their game feel they are in need of a drink and enter the refreshment room. They only need one drink, and there is no reason whatever why they should not have that one drink. But what happens. One of the four treats the other three, and because they do not like to appear mean, they in turn stand treats, and before they come out they ha,ve had four drinks. He could multiply instances of when it was thought neces- sary to stand treat, but would content, himself with saying that it would be a. blessed thing for the youth of the coun- try and greatly to the interest of athletic sports generally if the system could be done away with altogether.—(Applause.) Treating was entirely unnecessary and led step by stap to excess. The other thing was the custom of drinking long toasts at banquets. It.was a custom which had been disastrous to thousands of young people. He would like to remind them that His Majesty the King had caused an order to be issued to the Army and Navy thalt, it was not necessary in order to show loyalty that, his health should be drunk in wine or any other alcoholic liquor. Those who preferred to drink it in water showed quite as much respect as the others. The health drinking at banquets and ordering the glasses to be filled to the brim was quite unnecessary and inconsistent with the cause of temperance and the well- being of the people.—'(Hear, hear.) They ha,d no riight to compel people, to become total abstainers5 but it was their duty as Churchmen to do what they could to check and destroy the insiduous vice of intemperance, which was a great national evil and hindered the cause of their Lord Jesus Christ. THE FORWARD MOVEMENT DEFINED. The Dean of Bangor, 'in the course of his speech, said that the "Forward Movement" which the Church of England had set on foot was intended to emphasise the unspeakable importance of the re- ligious aspect of temperance work. There was always some danger of forgetting that the Gospel of Christ was the only power I that could bring about true and lasting] temperance reform. He did not deny that legislation had its share to con- tribute. Just laws served to diminish temptations and to create a healthy pub- lic opinion. Much depended again upon just and thoughtful administration of the law. But fines and imprisonment were powerless to deliver the drunkard from the grip of his evil habits. Comfortable and healthy homes for the working classes also. exercised an immense influence, over the lives of those who lived in them, but they knew that drunkenness was found in the mansion as well as in the slum dwelling. The Church of England Temperance Society, like the, Church of which she was the hand-maiden, had ever been on the side of these helps to tem- perance.—(Applause.) She stood for the passing of betiter laws when satisfied that they would be really better. She encouraged the magistrates and the police to do their duty.—(Applause.) She wish- ed that every family in the, land, should be provided with a fit and proper dwell- ing-place. At the same time they knew that in order to drive intemperance out of the land there must be not onjJy im- proved surroundings, but improved eba,r,a.ct,er.-(Applause.) What was drunkenness It was but. the symptom of a hidden malady—(the lust of the flesh for which the grace, of God was the only infallible remedy. Par- liament could do something; the magis- trates and the police could do something landlords could do something, but until the healing power of the Gospel was brought to bear upon i&, the open sore of intemperance would disfigure the national character and undermine the national life..—(Applause.) He wished that the principles of the Church of Eng- land Temperance Society were more wide- ly known and better understood. Some- how or other people had got into the habit of confusing temperance with total abstinence. The basis of the society was union and co-operation on perfectly equal terms between those who used and those who abstained from intoxicating drinks. The general section of the society enrolled men and women who were not total abstainers but who were pledged to exert themselves for the suppression of intemperance, while the second section enrolled members who pledged them- selves to be total abstainers, as long, as they retained the card of membership. He was himself a. total abstainer, practi- cally a life-long total absainer, but he regarded the man who, without .abstaining as he did, did his best to promote tem- perance as good a member of the society as he was himself.—(Applause.) The moderate man must, not speak dis- paragingly of the services rendered by the abstainer, and vice versa. This basis, which lie regarded as reasonable and Scriptural, was fixed upon, not for the sake of compromise but for the sake of comprehension. In three respects total abstinence was helpful and expedient; it was a. means of protection for the young, 'II of safety for the tempted, and of strength to the temperance worker,(Appla-o,se.) THE GROWTH OF TEMPERANCE. Alderman Harry Phillips then gave an eloquent address on the methods, work and results achieved by the Society in the slums of the large towns, during which, he said, the Society's estimate of the drunkard was that he was a, dead weight and no, good to the community. The Temperance Society, however, had adopted the policy of endeavouring to reclaim such people and place them them among those who. were valuable. The growth of temperance in England during the last twenty years was astonish- ing. Mr John Burns had remarked to him at the last cup final at the Crystal Palace on the entire absence of drunken- ness among the 80,000 spectators. The managers of the great exhibition in Lon- don last year had told him that, of the million people who vilsited it they did noL, have to deal with a singleca,se, of drunk- enness. What was the reason for this improved state of things? It was- be- cause of the educational work of tihe Bands of Hope and similar organisations which had been established throughout the length and breadth of the land.—(Ap- plause.) Those Societies had educated the children to the evils of intemperance and a better race of people was being evolved.—(Applause.) The evil', how- ever, still existed, and he appealed for workers to fall into the fighting linei of those who were waging war on the drink- ing customs of the nation. Drink was a disease, not a thing to he laughed at, and he would ask temperance workers who saw a drunken man being; imitated on any plaJtform to hiss the imitator off the. stage. —(Applause.) A FIRM BELIEVER, IN TOTAL ABSTINENCE.. Canon Williams said that although they had a good audience present, that even- ing he would like to see more people in- terest themselves in the good work of the Forward Movement. He felt quite cer- tain that if the subject was "Down wsh the Lords" or "Down with the Commons" the hall would have been crammed fulll. But they were there that night on the subject of "Down with the drink," which if accomplished would create a greater re- volution than either of the other two sub- jects mentioned. He differed somewhat j on the question from the other speakers, and would say quite frankly that he was not only a totail abstainer himself, but he wanted everyone else to be a total ah- ( staaner, as he was thoroughly convinced that total abstinence was the one great remedy for the prevailing drunkenness of the country.—(Applause.) He had never heard of anyone being able to define what "moderate drinking" was. He therefore, did not believe in any half measures or compromises, ,but, appealed to aJl to be- come total abstainers and make their country a soberer and better c,ountry.- (Applause.) Upon the proposition of the Re,v. J. Raymond, seconded by Mr O. W. Roberts, a hearty vofte of thanks was accorded the speakers. j

SEA ANGLERS' SUPPER. A PLEASANT GATHERING. The hot-pot supper of the Sea Angler ? Association, followed by a smoking con ? certt and distribution of prizes, nook place at the Royal Hotel, and was a most en- joyable function, from the entrance of tl'e hot-pots and steak pies to the singing of "God Save the King." The company present included Mr T. B. Earriington (chairman), Rev. LIl. R,. Hughes, M.A. vice-chairman), Dr. Kenrick Davies, Messrs. A. Conolly, J. R. Roberts, A. J. Peacock, G. H. Harding, G. Berkeley, Howel Jones (hon. secretary), J. Adey Wells, C. A. Moses, J. W. Gardiner, H, M. Brigg, W. D. Henderson, J. Rees, Grosvenor Jones, G. F. Farrington, H. Morton, G. B. Roberts, T'ylecott, A. Hewitt, W Williams, R, T Thimas, Edgar Bone, E. Boot, R. Hammond, G. Petrie, T. W. Jones, E. P. Morris, Williams,, C. H. R. Jones, Walter Wood, J. J. Marks, J. Ei. Hallmark, W. Wood, T. Byrne, Si.

Parker, Ri. Jones, G. Roberts, Prof. Beaumont, Edwin Turner, J. Roberts, junr., C. H. Brown, Axtell, etc THE. TOAST LIST. THE, ANGLING CLUB. The Rector proposed the toast of the Sea Angling Association, coupled with the name of Mr A. Conolly, and said that as theohj ect, of the Association was to make Llandudno nure popular it, had his heartiest support, Fishing was the oldest and most consecrated sport, and he wished the Association still greater suc- cess in the future than it, had enjoyed in the past.—(Hear, hear) THE; PROGRESS OF THE CLUB. Replying, Mr Conolly said the Asso- ciation was now in its sixth vear. It existed to foster the sport of sea angling and the spoilt generally; to advertise that Llandudno possessed waters which could be fished with great success and so benefit the ratepayers and the town generally. That it djid do good was proved by the fact that the secretary received from thirty to forty letters every year inquir- ing as to the fishing in addition hi cal'ls from some 300 people asking for similar particulars.—(Hear, hear.) The Asso- ciation did not exist from any selfish motive, for this year the Committee had spent, nearly £ 20 on prizes.—(Applause.) The first year the amount, was £ 3 15s. in- creased to, £ 5 5s. the following two years, and to £ 17 10s. this year for special com- petitions and L5 for the ordinary ones.— (Applause.) At the last annual meeting the question of a fishing festival was mooted, and had been discussed by the Committee. He thought that before long they would be able to arrange a, festival —(Applause.) Ftinds, however, were needed if it was to he a success, but he was sure not one of the members would grudge an increased subscription for that object.—(Applause.) THE CHAIRMAN AND VICE- CHAIRMAN. Mr J. El. Hallmark proposed "The Chairman and Vice-Chairman." The Association he said was to be congratu- lated on having such a chairman as Mr Farrington, who in spite of the many calls on his time and indifferent health, still managed to findian odd hour or so to preside over the deliberations of the Club. To. have such a busy man at the head of the table was a, great compliment to the Club.—(Hear, hear.) As to their vice- chairman, i't struck him as very appro- priaite that a, minister of the Gospel should be associated with the angling club. The Club was to be congratulated on having a minister who wa,s not only prepared to lead them on the way they should go, but who was broad-minded enough to further the interest of healthy outdoor sport, and to join them on fes- tive occasions like the present.—(Ap- plause.) I Replying, Mr Farrington said he had henefi)b,t,ed ,so much from coming to Llan- dudno that he always did what he' ooujld to induce others to become residents in the town.—(Hear, hear.) The Rector also responded. THE VISITORS, Proposing the "Visitors," coupled with the name of Mr J. Adey Wells, J.P., Mr J. J. Marks said that he hoped aill the visitors present, would become members and remain so for many years. With regard to Mr Adey Wells he could be pointed out, as a sample of what Llan- dudno could do for one who had led a very busy and strenuous life.—(Ap- plause.) Mr Weills had endeared himsef to the inhabitants by his good deeds, and he did not think there was a single sub- scri ptilon lifeit,—religious, charitable or for sport—which did not include his name. Mr Wells subscribed to all, and he (Mr Marks) proposed his health with very great pleasure indeed.— (API4 lause followed by musical honours). Mr Wells, in responding, gave a humorous account, of how he went fishing in the Conway estuary, and thought it time to give up the i,oib, after, catching a codling hiliind in one eye, a story which evoked loud laughteir, which was renewed when he gave the anglers present a good "tip" on how to attract fish. First of all, he said, they should get a clean glass jar, fill it with little fishes, frogs, etc., and drop it over the side of the boat by a string. This would be sure to attract all the biig fish in the immediate neighbour- hood. Then the line, with properly baited hooks should be dropped and the fish made desperate at not being able to get at the contents of the glass jar would rush at, the baited hooks and good sport would follow. He wished the members a successful year. PRESENTATION OF PRIZES. The following members were presented with the prizes they had won during the year:— Challenge Cup and Memento, pre- sented by Messrs.

"THE SHADES OF AUTUMN."— When the winter evenings begin to lengthen, the comforts of home are more appreciated, and to make home cheerful and happy is the Englishwoman's chief desire. The use of "PUREI TEA" sheds a charm in the homes of all—in those of the poor no less than the rich—refresh- ing the weary, stimulating the inactive, soothing the invalid, and cheering the social. Beyond doubt, Horniman's Pure Tea is of wonderful value, refined flavour, delicious to the palate, and invigorating to the system. Sold in Llandudno by— T. and R. D.
