DISESTABLISHMENT BILL. The chief item in the agenda was to con- sider the situation created by the Premier's announcement concerning the Disestablish- ment Bill; and this occasioned, of course, a long and most animated discussion. Expres- sion was given, to the deep feeling wfiich exists throughout the country upon this matter, and there were strong statements made and suggestions put forward which voiced that feeling to the full. Drastic action was suggested and keen criticism was uttered, special' reference being made to the action of the Welsh M.P.'s on the subject. It was pointed out, however, that the con- stitution of the committee restrained it as such from merely political action; and that its work lay solely with the matter of secur- ing religious equality and the freeing of reli- gion from State patronage and control. Mr Roch, M.P., the Rev Hywel Parry, the Rev Cetbio Davies, Mr Beriah Evans, Rev O. Campbell, Mr Beddoe Rees, Rev T. Jones, and others having spoken, the following reso- lution was ca/rrited nem con. "This meeting expresses its keen disap- pointment and resentment that the Welsh Disestablishment Bill has been abandoned this Session, wheal other measures, purely sectional, HAIVE been given precedence; and while acknowledging the Prime Minister's definite promise that the Bill shall be the first. measure of next Session and earned through all its stages, is strongly of opinion that (if the members of "iales do not take united, determined, and, if necessary, inde- pendent action to ensure that the measure shall maintailll its promised premier position) Wales will not any longer endure the ten- son, but will insist upon the formation of an independent national party. Suibsequetly a resolution was passed to organise throughout the constituencies of Wales, and also in England and Scotland, a series of meetings, wherein reply irouM be made of the abounding misrepresentations now current concerning the question.

Welsh Disestablishment Bill. PREMIER'S STATEMENT. In the House of Commons, on the 15th inst, Sir Alfred Thomas asked the Prime Minister whether he was prepared to state what course the Govern- ment proposed to take with regard to the Welsh Church Diaettabliahment Bill. (Opposition ironical cheers and laughter.) Mr Asquith: Yes, sir, I am. In view of the pressure of business this Session, the Government have come to the conclusion that it will be im- possible to carry through all its stages so highly contentious a measure as the Welsh Disestablish- ment Bill. They have, therefore, decided to make the Bill the first Government measure and pass it through all its staegs in this House next year (Ministerial cheers.)

FREEDOM OF ACTION. A letter from the secretary of the Welsh National Council notified the appointment of a sub-committee to confer with the Free Chinches Committee as to future procedure, -e, and upon this the following resolution was unanimously carried "That whilst we welcome the proffered co- operation of the Weitsh National Liberal Council, in the prosecution of the Disestab- lishment campaign, this committee reserves the fuller freedom of action in conducting its own campaign." The intention of the reservation was to guaird against the effect of any decision by any other body as to suspending work during the summer; and also, of course, to retain complete freedom in all other respects.

WELSH M.P.'S AND NATIONAL EXECUTIVE. Mr Herbert Roberts, M.P., presided on Thursday 11th inst. at A meeting held in one of the House of Commons Committee-rooms, those present being the members of a sub- committee of the Welsh National Council Executive who had been appointed to con- sult with three M.P.'s appointed by the Par- liamentary Party. Mr Clement Edwards. who stated that lie had only casualy heard of this meeting, pointed out that the M.P.'s present had no representative capacity, the party not having yet made its selection of wpresentatives, and it was agreed that the present consultation was to be regarded as quite informal. Mr W. Jones, M.P.. and Mr ffils Griffiths, M.P.. were in attendance, also Mr Hugh Edwards, Mr Roberts (LIan- dudno), Mr All-good (Cardiff), and others, with the Council's secretary (Mr W. Hughes, Polity pool). The situation was fully considered, and ultimately it was decided that generail co- operation of the political organisations, the Free Church Federation, as well as the Liberation Society and other agencies in England was most desirable in order that 1 1 the existing active campaign of the defenders of the Establishment should be fully met, and the case for religious equality in Wales bo clearly stated over the widest area. par- ticularly in England and Scotland. A fonnal resolution being impracticable, certain sug- gestions that different speakers made are to be MADE known to the other organisations, -Of, ""P" ')" the Welsh '-Nl.P.'s acting through their party and the National Council in the Principality. The Fnee Church Federation will bé. informed of the suggestions. and an endeavour will be made to ensure active co-operation.. It 'WAS agreed that the autumn and winter cam- paign immediately prior to next Session, when the Welsh Bill comes up as the first of the Government measures, should be organised in the most effective form.

Aberystwyth Methodist College. THE YEAR'S WORK. The annual meetings in connection with the Cavlimistic Methodist Theological College, Aberystwth, were held at Aberyqtwith on Friday. In the evening the Rev T. Evans, of Llamwrtyd Weils, presided at a public meeting, held at Salem Chapel, when books, the gift of Mrs Lloyd Jones, of Llandinam, were presented to the out-goiaig students. The Rev T. E. Davies. of Blaeuydach, con- ducted the devotional part of the proceed- ings. Principal Prys, in his report on the work of the session, said the number of students in the college was 33. They also ad- mitted in the second term Mr Noeliren, B.A., of New York, who is a candidate for the ministry in the Presbyterian Church in America. Eifeven of the students were gra- duates, which was about the same proportion as in the previous year. Two graduates sat for the recent first B.D. examination and one for the second B.D. Three others were pre- paring for next year's final. All these students did exceedingly good work, and the work of the other students was on the whole very satisfactory. Of the 16 men who entered this session only four graduated. Seveml of the others could easily have taken their degree if they had resolved upon that course in time, and he would again urge the Educa- tion Board and the several committees to bring every legitimate pressure to 'bear upon candidates for the ministry to induce them to matriculate and take the arts course in the University Colleges. One of their students, Mr W. F. Roberts, B.A., was atwarded a scholarship at Jesus College, Ox- ford. and he intended proceeding to Oxford in October. They still had to regret the lack of provision for teaching homiletics and pastoral theology, and he would urge the committee seriously to consider whether some arrangement might not be made in this matter. During the session the Senate awarded a Dr Williams scholarship of JE30 to Mr M. H. Evans, B.A.. B.D., in order to enable him to prepare his M.A. thesis, and a prirate arrangement was made in order that he might be remunerated for assistance he had rendered in taking some of the B.D. classes. The College had again to acknow- ledge the kindness of friends who had con- tributed towards the scholarship fund, also a gift of £100 from Mrs Davies. of Plasdinam, towards the general fund of the College. Principal Prys announced that arrangements had been made for the Rev R. J. Rees, of Aberystwith. to lecture on homiletics and pastoral theology. The annual address to the students was delivered by the Rev J. Cynddylan Jones. Cardiff, who in a lucid manner dealt with the subject of "The Theology Befitting a Calvinistic Methodist ministry." When Hawel Harries, Daniel Rcwilands, Williams Pantyeelyn, and Charles o'r Bala left the Church of England they car- ried their CALVINISM with them, for it was in the Chuirch of England they learnt their Cal- vinism. That was the reason WHY Charles o'r Bala, Thomas Jones, Denbigh, and Richard Jones, .of ern, were opposed to the composition of the Calvinistic Methodist "Confession of Faith." believing as they did that the Articles of the Chinch of England were sufficiently evangelical and Calvinistic to meet alill their requirements. The denom- ination had had three great nieii-Cliaxles o'r Bala, Jones of Denbigh, and Dr Lewis Edwards—and the greatest of these was Dr Lewis Edwards. Could- they not have a statute of him in a central place in Aberyst- wyth. He was absolutely the greatest man Aberystw ith or ANY other town had given to the Welsh nation (haer, hear). c<
