_+- LIVERPOOL. (FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.) LIVERPOOL, Thursday. Dr. Berry, of Wolverhampton.—The friends and admirers of this well-known preacher will be pleased to learn that he is announced to preach, both morning and evening, at Great George Street Congregational chapel to-morrow (Sunday). Mr. TV. H. Lewis.—This young gentleman is a member of the C.M. church in David Street, whose minister is the Rev. William Jones. Last September, he went to the Preparatory School, at Bala, and got on so admirably well at recent examinations of the school that he will be ad. mitted a student of the Bala Theological College this coming session. All hail to this promising young member of David Street chapel! The Carboniferous Limestone of the Vale of Clwyd.-At the third meeting of the present session of the Liverpool Geological Society— held at the Royal Institution, Colquitt Street, on Tuesday evening—Mr. G.H. Morton, F.G.S., read one of a series of papers on the carboni- ferous limestone of the Vale of Clwyd, given to the society at intervals during the past 25 years! This paper of Mr. Morton showed the same accurate and careful observation, and re- liable record of facts, that have been the dis- tinguishing features of all his geological work. The late Madame Edith Wynne. The once famous oratorio singer—Madame Edith Wynne —has a brother at Birkenhead, whose name is Mr. Llew Wynne, of 43, The Woodlands. He is well-known among the Welsh of Liverpool as a Good Templar, elocutionist, and an excellent organiser of local concerts and eisteddvodau. Madame Wynne received part of her early training as a vocalist in Liverpool, under the care of the late Miss Whitenall, who subse. quently became Mrs. Scarisbriek, and who, with Mr. Scarisbriek, was long identified with the choir of St. Peter's Church, Seel Street, at which she sang in her youthful days. Madame Edith Wynne leaves one daughter, who is 15 years of age, and is, I am assured, an accom- plished young artiste, haying a great future be fore her. During her long professional career, the late Madame Edith Wynne was a great favourite among concert-goers in this city, and was for years a special vocal pet of the Welsh people of Liverpool. New Pastor-Elect of the Tabernacle.—The Rev. O. L. Roberts, of Penlan, Pwllheli, who will begin his ministry at the Tabernacle on the first Sunday in March, is invited to undertake the editorship of the Dysgedydd, in succession to his father-in-law, the late Rev. Herber Evans, D.D. Everton Liberal Associcttion.-Under the aus- pieces of this association, Mr. James Venmore, of Parkside, Anfield Road (brother to Mr. William Venmore, chairman ot the Liverpool Monthly Meeting for 1896), delivered an excel- lent lecture on The Payment of Members,' at the Everton Liberal Club, on Wednesday even- ing, before an appreciative audience. Welsh Congregational Church, Prescot.-This church, consisting chiefly of the families of Welsh colliers from the outlying districts of Flintshire, &c., have invited Mr. Morgan Daniel, B.D., formerly of Bala-Bangor and Yale (America) Colleges, to become their pas- tor. Mr. Daniel, I am pleased to note, has ac- cepted the invitation, and will shortly com- mence his ministry there. The C.M. Chapel of Fitzclarence Street.—In connection with the Sunday School of this place of worship, the annual tea-party and literary meeting was held on Tuesday, the 28th instant. To my great surprise, there were over a hun- dred competitors who competed for the various prizes. Mr. Edward Lloyd, J.P., of 31, Fa'.kner Square (the leading deacon of the Welsh Con- gregational church, Grove Street), presided over a large and enthusiastic attendance. The Po' t preacher 1 Dyfed' in Liverpool.—The well-known preacher, poet, and lecturer, Rev. Evan liees (D!Ifed), delivered his popular lecture on 'The Pyramids of Egypt,' on Wednesday evening, the 27th instant, at the C.M. chapel, Webster Road. The lecture was highly interes- ting, edifying, and instructive: and was listened to throughout by an appreciative audience. The proceeds of the lecture were devoted to the Library Fund in connection with this church, whose minister is the Rev. William Owen. A Young Girl Novelist.—Hark ye readers of the North Wales Times! In the Children's Column of the Clarion of 'Nunguam,' I have read a most interesting storyette, written by 'Gladys Wynne!' It may be asked, Who, then, is Gladys Wynne? She is a young girl of ten years of age, a niece, I believe, of the celebrated soprano artist, the late Madame Edith Wynne, late of Holywell; and also a niece of the well-known drawing-room enter- tainer, Mr. L'ew Wynne, 43, The Woodlands, Birkenhead. The title of the story is 'The White Lion.' The Rev. 11. Deiniol Joiies.-Thi-, reverend gentleman is the minister of the Welsh Con- gregational church, Trinity Road, Bootle; but I am now assured that Mr. Deiniol Jones has accepted the invitation of the Congregational church at Llanrhaiadr-yn-Mochnant to become their pastor, and will commence his ministry there on the first Sunday in April. In the Rev. Deiniol Jones, the Welsh Congregationalists of Bootle will lose a sweet preacher, and a gentle- man of sterling qualities. Alas! Bootle will lose much by his departure, but Llanrhaiadr will gain thereby. Visit of the llev. George Lamb, of America, to Li,verpool.-The Rev. George Lamb, of Ramsen, America, has a sister living the other side of the Mersey, her name and address being Mrs. Ellis, 8, Rice Hey Road, Egremont; and this lady in- forms me that Mr. Lamb and his family intend to pay a visit to Liverpool and North Wales during the coming summer. C.M., and other churches, may address their correspondence, concerning Mr. Lamb, &c., to the care of his sister, at the above address. Mr. Lamb and his family are expected to arrive in the Mersey in April, about Easter-time. 'Plenydd' at Birkenhead.—During the present week, this popular lecturer has been conducting nightly (excepting Tuesday) a temperance cam- paign at Parkfield chapel. He addressed all the meetings in his own inimitable style, and was assisted by the local ministers of the town, and others, namely, Rev. Joseph Davies (B.), Rev. Thomas Gray, Rev. H. Parry Thomas (C.), Dr. R. O. Morris, Rev. Hugh Jones (Ilarddfryn), Rev. W. Morgan Williams (English Presby- terian), and Mr. Thomas Williams, Vittoria The following gentlemen presided at the meet- ings:—Monday, Mr. S. P. Chambers (Sea- combe); Wednesday, Dr. James Edwards (An- tieid); Thursday, Mr. William Jones, clothier and draper, Price Street (Birkenhead); Friday Mr. D. E. Williams (The Woodlands); this evening (Saturday), Mr. John Williams (Claughton Road). The meetings throughout, I am pleased to note, were well attended by appreciative audiences, who listened attentive- ly to the stirring addresses of Plenydd,' and others. Induction Service at Crosshall Street Chapel.—• Preceding the induction, tea for the ministers, deacons, and friends, had been provided by Mr. and Mrs. John Roberts, St. Paul Square; and a hearty vote of thanks to the host and hostess were proposed and seconded by the Rev. E. J. Evans, Walton, and Mr. William Venmore, which was carried with acclamation. After- wards, they adjourned to the chapel, where the Rev. W. Morris-Jones, late of Dyserth, was duly installed to the pastorate of the above church, Mr. William Jones, of Earle Street (one of the deacons of the church), presiding over a good attendance. The predecessor of the new minister was the Rev. David Williams, of Pen- morva, who held the pastorate for 18 years; but in 1893, he resigned, when the church be- came vacant. And last year, it invited, the Rev. W. M. Jones to become the successor of their late minister. Mr. Jones is a native of Carnarvon, his father (Mr. Jeremiah. Jones) having died when he was only five years of age. He has a brother in the C.M. ministry, whose name is the Rev. T. M. Jones, of Penmaclmo (late of Bagillt), author of Llenyddiaeth Iff Ngwlad. When he finished his course at Baia, the church at Dyserth invited him to their pas- torate, which he accepted. Of its size, the lat- ter is one of the leading churches in the Vale of Clwyd. Here he was ordained, and subsequent- ly married Miss M. Louisa Jones, one of the daughters of the late deacon of the C.M. church at Rhuddlan, namely, Mr. Samuel Jones, grocer, Castle Street (of lihat aneient town). Mr. David Thomas, one of the deacons from Dyserth, gave an excellent address. He compared the Calvi- nistic Methodists of Crosshall Street church to one of the kings of Israel, who, though in pos- session of great riches, deprived a poor man of his lamb I Mr. Jones, he was pleased to note, had stood his ground well at Dyserth. There he was ordained, and was also married there. Hence he was a complete man on leaving Dy- serth for Liverpool. The Monthly Meeting of the Vale of Clwyd, of which Mr. Jones was a member, was the best in the whole country, and the C.M. church at Dyserth was one of its best churches. The union of Mr. Jones with them was an exceedingly happy one. They sympa- thised and co-operated with him in his work; and he hoped Mr. Jones would be sustained equally as heartily at Crosshall Street church, Liverpool. Mr. Hugh Edwards, of Netherfield Road, Everton, on behalf of the Monthly Meeting of Liverpool, welcomed the new minister to the city and to their Monthly Meeting. The Rev. Evan Jones', of Denbigh (a repre- sentative of the Monthly Meeting of the Vale of Clwyd), said it was unnecessary for him to praise Mr. Jones as that meeting, because he had already commended himself to the churches generally by his work. He was not only a goed preacher, but was also a young minister who bore an excelled character both as man, stu- dent, and friend. The more he was known, the better he was appreciated and esteemed as a character. His removal was1# great loss to the Vale of Clwvd, but a gain to fhe Welsh church at Crosshall Street, Liverpool. The meeting was also addressed by the follow- ing locit i-iiiiiiisters: --Itevs. E. J. Evans (Wal- on), W. Morris Jones (the newly-inducted pas- tor), Griffith Ellis 'Bootle), D. M. Jenkins (C-), Owen Owens (Ann > William O. Jones, B.A. (Chatham Street: i s Gray (Birkenhead), and the Rev. Jol "1. ,M.A. (Fitzularenep Street). This excellent„ >; was br iprj:. a close with prayer by the Wiliia A-1^0 Webster Road. Owen,
