Since his return to this country he has on several occasions visited Abergele, aind always found a warm wel. come here.

This Association meet3 this (Thuirsday) evening at the Church House, wlien the Vioajr will preside. PARLIAMENTARY DEBATE. The members of the Cafe Club met in largo numbers at the "House" on Friday evening, and the proceedings desetrvo notice, more especially beoause of the excellent aposcih of the Welsh NationaJist member, Mr W. J. Evans, M.A., master at the County School, whose remark,3 weina listened to with the attention they well deserved. Tho speaker was the Rev. G. H. Da- vies, Pensaa-n. Four candidates were in the field, viz. laboral, M,r Tom Owen; We Hi Nationalist, Mr W. J. Evans, M.A.; Labour, Mr Petor Jones; Conservative, Mr J. Owain Jones. The Liberal meinbor recapitulated the ortho- dox party programme, which, as a,ll the world knows, includes the Liop-nsing Bill and Disestab- lishment he also advocated a certain amount of iabouir reform. The Labour and Conservative members did not exhibit that seriousness of purpose or of speech which the "House" had 1,. .t 1 1 1 n'h' hoped tor and the occasion demanded. Useir efforts wore, more or less, a skit on local aflaira. lllie Welsh Nationalist, however, delivered a model spooh. Ile insisted upon the rights of Wales to be considered a sepacraite nation, show- ing from past history ffiat Wales existed as suoh, and had its own distinctive needs. Ho drew attention to Owain Gljndwr's ideals, which were: An Independent Wales, ruled ty,- a Prince and Parliament, an Independent Welsh Churoh with an Archbishop at St. David's; two Uni- versities, one in North and one in South Wales. Wo in Wales, said tihe speaker, wanted an Lnde- j>eindent Party, in the lines of the Irish Party, the chief programme of slbah party !o be: (1) Disestablishment, (2) a National Council of mäu- oation, (3) a Welsh Local Government Council, (4) a Welsh Legislative Council or Home Rule Parliament- On the voting, the .result was: Liberal, 34; Welsh Nationalist, 29; Labour, 15; Conservative, 5. A WIFE OBTAINS A SEPARATION ORDER. At the Poiioe Court on Saturday, Mrs Mary Owen, described aa of Brooklyn, Pensarn, had summoned her husband, John Owen, butcher, Crown Bach, for persistent cruelty, and she asked for a separation order. De- fendant did not appear. Mr Joseph Lloyd, who appeared for the com- plainant, said that it was a sad case. Defendant was a. butcher living in Abergele, and was in a fair way of business. He had, it was alleged, assaulted his wife from time to time, and the last occasion being on November 14th, shortly after her confinement. Her friends advised her to leave him, and she did so. She asked for an order of 10s per week for herself, and 2s 6d per week for each of the six children. The other boy was lb years of age. Mrs Owen said she was married to the de- fendant 17 years ago in the Wesleyan Chapc-i at Rhyl, and the ages of the seven children ranged from 16 years to five months. During her mar- ried life hor husband, she alleged, had been very cruel to her. Previous to her confinement he had assaulted her, giving her two black eyes. On November 14th he came into the house and asked her for money, following this by abusing and kicking her. She was afraid of him, and felt that it would not be safe to live with him. There was only one child who could earn anything, he being the eldest son. Dr. Richardson Jones said he had attended the defendant since 1904 for chronic alcoholism. He had attended Mrs Owen at various times, and was awara that she was suffering from a com- plaint which might have been caused by a kick. She was very weak, but he could not say that he had seen the defendant injure her. A. P. Leigh said he resided opposite the defen- darit's shop, which was rented at from C25 to B50 per annum. The defendant used to do a very good business, and he believed he did a little cattle dealing.

The mem- bers of the newly-formed habitation of the Y.H.L. of Dr. Barnardo's Homes were invited to tea. on Monday last, at Tanycoed, by Mrs Richards. A lecture, illustrated by lantern views, was after- wards given by the Rev. Ll. H. Richards on "Dr. Barnardo's life and work," and was listened to most attentively. It was decided at the close of the lecture to give tho new branch the name of the "Coed Coch Habitation," and Mrs Richards was elected president. When the collecting boxee were opened it was found that E4 had already been collected. A vote of thanks was proposed by Miss Davies, Ferndale, to Mrs Richards for the tea, and to the Rev. LI. A. Richards for the lectuTe. This was seconded by Miss Jones, Al- bert-road. There were about 50 present in all, and several of the children, before going home, expressed their desire to join the League for next year.

BRYNMAENAN. THE VIOAK'S FAREWELL. On Sunday last the Vicar, Rev. Meredith J. Hughes, M.A., proacbed farewell sermons at the olcee of his ministry in ""j parish. The key-note of the closing day of his ten years' labour, dating from the consecration of the Ghuiroh, was "God hath given unto us the min- istry of reeonoiliatdon," and the preacher dwolt on too power of memory to soften hard feeling?, wipe out faults, and reduce cne list of short. oomings we were so apt to discover long ago. Mr lIugbrJe has attracted to (.-lie sweet little "Church on tho Hills" worshippers of various creeds. His prominent character feature is breadth of view; he sees people and their pas- sions and peculiaritis from the mountain tops, which are the dob-ght of his soul, and the dis- tance minimises differences and discrepances. The Scottish Presbyterian and the Weslevan Methodist have alike listened to his sermons, and admired his eloquence oom¡4!1()d with breadth of view. It. is not in the pulpit onfy that Mr Hughes shines. On the platform of a Royal Society for tihe Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, on the L committee of tho National Eisteddfod, as writer on the history of his country, as the dis- tributor at a school Christmas Tree, as a quiet pea-comaker in his parish, or as a friend in an hour's conversation, he is equally good. A fearless front to the foe, wrong-doing, in all its shapes, the man's and woman's friend, the children's oompanion, with his face to the light in everything be does. Such is the personality that Brynymoon loses and Prestatyn gains. A presentation will be made to Mr and Mrs Hughes by the congregation aind other friends on the occasion of the Christmas Tree ceJebra- tion, December 29th.—A Parishioner.

This was ably seconded by Mr Jones, Bodoryn, and responded to by Mr Sheffield. The day's business commenced with the sale of the cattle.

Several entries are al- ready to hand, and a large number of buyers have promised to attend.

The third of the series of lectures, arranged at the Pier Pavilion, under the auspices of the Gil- christ Trust, was given on Monday evening, when over a thousand people attended under the presidency of Mr Walter Whitehead, J.P. Dr. Andrew Wilson, perhaps the most popular I British lecturer on medical subjects, dealt with the life, history, and work of germs. While dealing with the great world of germs, he re- lated the interesting story of the experiment at Florence, about 350 years ago, when the Floren- tine Royal Society were at length compelled to acknowledge the truth of the maxim that life must come from pre-existing life. He then pro- c'ecded to explain what germs or microbes are; he gave examples of their family history, dwelt on their various sizes, described the good and bad germs, pointed out how some microbes are useful to man acting as nature's scavengers. Then he went on to deal with the injurious germs and in a very interesting manner he described the probable evolution of the disease—producing microbes and their effects in the way of disease production. Finallv, he narrated in a pithy man- I ner the struggle of the scientist in his successful endeavour to conquer disease by making germs fight against themselves. In every-day lan- language, Dr. Andrew Wilson enlightened his audience on a matter of great and growing im- portance. At the close he was cordially thanked on the motion of Mr Walter Whitehead, second- ed by Dr. Mariette. T.A.A. CONCERT.

A question arose as to the production of the marriage certificate. Mr Liioyd explained that the complainant had not the certificate with her, as it was in the de- fendant's house, and she was afraid to go in and fret it. The Bench said they would grant the separa- tion order, subject to the complainant produc- ing the roarriage certificate. They ordered the defendant to pay his wife 10s per week, and 2s 6d per week to each of six children, the wife to have the custody of the children. Defendant would also have to pay J61 9s 6d costs,
