THE REPRESENTATIVE BODY OF THE CHURCH IN WALES. IMPORTANT PROPOSALS. THE Finance Committee of the Repre- sentative Body met in London last week under the chairmanship of Sir Owen Philipps. The four Welsh Bishops were present together with lay and clerical representatives from each of the four dioceses. A report of a sub- committee on provisional stipends to incumbents appointed since Sep- tember, 1914, on the question of dilapidations and on the question of the future upkeep of cathedrals, was care- fully considered. The four Diocesan .Boards of Finance were asked to draw up schedules of provisional stipends for in- cumbents appointed since the passing of the Act of 1914 for the consideration of the Representative Body at its meetings at Rhyl on January 6. The sub- committee was requested to consider further some points in respect of the dilapidations, but, subject to this further consideration by the sub-committee at Rhyl on January 5, their recommenda- tions were adopted for presentation to the Representative Body on January 6. The question of the upkeep of cathedrals, was referred back to the sub-committee for further consideration. These three important subjects, which will come be- fore the Representative Body and the Governing Body at their meetings at Rhyl on January 6, 7, 8, and 9, make it probable that the attendance at the meetings at Rhyl will be large, notwith- standing the difficulties of the time of the year. The Finance Committee considered arefulIy the question of an early appeal for the necessary funds to replace the loss of C48,000 a year by disendowment and to provide another LIOO,000 a year to enable the Church to meet the grow- ing spiritual needs of Wales at the present- critical time. A strong Ap- peal Committee was appointed to organise the appeal, under the chairmanship of Mr. H. N. Glad- stone. It will be the duty of every Churchman and Churchwoman in Wales to respond to this appeal to the very utmost of their ability without delay, and Churchmen in England will be asked for their sympathy and help.
