The reverend gcntleman is now the oldest preacher in North Wales, having been in the ministry for 59 years, and from all appearances the G.O.M. will be still able to execute his duties for many years to come. On the some day, at both places of worship, Mr W. J. Roberts, of Scot- land-street Mission Chapel, Llanrwst, preached his initial sermon. This young man has the making of an eloquent preacher, his discourses being of high merit, and delivered in good taste. We wish him success in his new spkere.

Some of the Questions of the Day. Of Great Interest to the Community. NATURALLY the bardic fraternity are conjecturing who is to be the future Archdruid of Wales. Those interested in social and political questions are discussing the unemployed problem, others the education question, and every householder is groaning under the burden of taxation. Our rates and taxes are increasing by leaps and bounds, and in the end it all resolves into the one great question —dollars and f, s. d. Everybody naturally studies that question, and in the face of the various problems mentioned, it is advisable to study the question of economy. One way to obtain the desired result is to trade where your wants and pockets are best studied, as they ,ire sure to be at the" Hoyal sales ot Messrs W. S. Williams and Sons, drapers, Llandudno.

Chapel, and had been a teacher in the Sunday School for years.—The funeral took place on Monday afternoon at the Zion Chapel Ceme- tery, and was one of the largest seen in the town for years, being attended by representa- tives from all the farms in the neighbourhood where Mr Lloyd is so well known. The Rev W. Thomas, pastor of Zion, conducted the ser- vice at the house and at the graveside in an impressive manner. At the graveside the well- known hymn,"Yn y dyfroedd mawr a'r tonau," was pathetically sung. Several beautiful wreaths were sent. CHURCHMEN'S SOCIETY.—A meeting of this society was held on Monday evening at the Church House, the rector, the Rev John Morgan, presiding. Mr Tilby, of Rhyl, gave a very inter- esting address on Conscription." He stated that in 1805 the British army numbered 715,000 men, and since then the British possessions had grown considerably, but the decrease in the army was about 150,000. Looking at it from that point he thought something ought to be done to increase the defence of our possessions. He did not be- lieve in the word conscription, and he would sub- stitute for it the words universal service. Messrs T. Thomas, C. F Davey, T. Chambers, Rev. T. Roberts, H. J. W. Watling, Rev J. T. Williams, and C. T. Allard also took part. The usual votes of thanks and the singing of the National Anthem concluded the proceedings. THE T-TOREB LITERLRY SOCIETY.-At the last meeting of this society, held on Thurs- day evening, a paper was read by Mr Arthur Parry, chemist, upon Llanrwst 50 yeara ao," being descriptive of the town, its buildings, &c., at that period. The Rev Phillip Price, pastor, presided over a good attendance of members. Some slight disappointment was evinced that Mr Parry's otherwise excellent paper did not men- tion more about the old characters connected with the town. In addition to the cbairmall 's remarks, Messrs E. Davies-Jones, D. Owen, F. Parry, LiMveiyti Jones, T. Herbert Hughes, and John Jofrai spoke, each one giving an anecdote relative to the characters so well known in the past. It was decided to ask Mr Parry to prepare another paper embracing the old characters of the town alone. Miss Gwladys Roberts, Victoria House, gave an interesting recitation entitled Shion Wynne," and Miss Jones, The Bull, pleasingly rendered Sullivan's "Lost Chord," and a plettsant evening was brought to a cloe. SCOTLAND-STREET CHAPEL'S SILVER ANNIVERSARIES—On Thursday evening an interesting meeting was held in this chapel, which is doing such good work in and around Scotland-street, the event being the celebration of the 25 years' life of the church. The officers of Zion Chapel were present with the Rev W. Thomas, its pastor. Among others present, in addition to the present pastor of Scotland- street Chapel (the Rev R. Rowlands) were Mr Hughes, Glan Coelen, a former deacon of Zion. Mr Evan Hughes, George-street, spoke of the beginning of the school in connection with the church prior to the latter's establish- ment, whilst Mr Evan Owen, Bridge-street, described the period up to the advent of the first pastor, the Rev R. Roberts, now of Colwyn Bay. Mr W. J. Williams, J.P., Regent House, gave an interesting sketch of the church's life from that period to the present,whilst remarks upon the event were also passed by Messrs John Pugh, Colwyn Bay, and Hughes, Glan Coelen.
