Variables Williams (president) occu- pied the chair at the annual meeting of the 001- wyn Bay Golf Club, at the Metro- pole Hotel, Oolwyn Bay, on Thursday evening. There was a good attendance of members, including the following Miss Morris, Miss Shewell, Mrs W. M. Venablee Wljliarn4 Mrs Brock, Mrs Drummond, Mr and Mrs P. N. G. Holmes, Mr and Mrs C. H. Harding, Mr and Mrs J. Crompton,Messra J. M. Porter, J. Thomp- son, Wm. Jones, J. Faulkner, and C. E. Eicock, with the secretary (Mr Douglas M. Peacock). Letters regretting inability to be present were received from the Rev. Henry Elderkin and Mr T. E. Purdy. SECRETARY'S REPORT. The Secretary (Mr Peacock), in the course of his report, said that the year past had been one of the most successful in the club's history, both as regarded new members and visitors, and from a financial point of view. The membership was about 150, and of those 36 were new members, and there had been only ten resignations. The spring and summer meetings had been most suc- cessful, and once again the "Porter" cup and "Whitehead" bowl were in the hands of members of the club. The most interesting social feature of the season was the "at home" kindly given by the president and Mrs Veniablos Williams, at which there had been a record attendance of members. He regretted to have to record the death of one of the oldest members, and also prac- tically one of the founders of the club. Mr Grcig, a vice-president, who, in years gone by, had been a mainstay of the club. The other vice- presidents had as usual given the club their hearty support. The monthly mixed foursomes had proved very attractive, and the entrances aJl round had been very good throughout the year. In May, Mr H. F. Aehby had tendered his re- signation as captain of the club, which had been accepted with regret, Mr P. N. G. Holmee kind- ly taking up the position for the third time. In August the green-keeper, Mr J. Evatm, left the services of the club, and the committee had ap- pointed Mr L. Green, of Burbage Common, in his place — "one of the best moves the club ever made" CAPTAIN'S REPORT. The Captain (Mr P. N. G. Holmes) presented the following report: This year the club has played five matches, four of which have been won and one lost. This is a slight improvement on last year, when two matches were lost. This year the committee decided not to alter any of the present greens, but to entirely make double new tees. These, I am pleaeed to report, have now been completed. The greens under the new green-keeper, Mr L. Groen, in the latter part of the year, have gone through a new treatment, and I am sure that next year the club will re;1.p great benefit. and the greens become some of the best in the district (applause). On the proposition of Mr C. H. Harding, seconded by Mr William Jones, the. two reports were adopted. CREDIT BALANCE DOUBLED. Mr William Jones, the treasurer, in presenting his balance sheet, said the committee had wisely decided that he should, at the end of the year, make up a proper report, which would be duly audited, and copies aenfc to each member. In the meantime he might report that from all sources they had received nearly £ 400. Of course the improvements to the greens had en- tailed a considerable amount of expense, but they could rest assured that their balanoe of £43 in the previous year would be doubled this year (ap- plause). He suggested that the auditors be chosen that evening. The oornmittee's action with reference to the balance sheet was approved, and Messrs P. N. G. Holmes and J. Crompton were appointed auditors. OFFICERS FOR THE YEAR. The retiring president said he had much pleasure in proposing that Mr Chas. Reynolds be president for the coming year. Mr Rey- nolds was a good golfer, and a good fellow, and he (the speaker) was sure he would be a very good president (applause). Mr C. H. Harding seconded, and the proposi- tion was carried unanimously. On the proposition of Mr C. H. Harding, seconded by Mrs Brock, the following vice- presidents were re-etected: Messrs John Brock, W. Mould, R. Tomlinson, W. Whitehead, J. J. Wooller, T. G. Osborn, J. Crompton, F. Stani- cliffe, J. M. Porter, D. Gamble, H. Bourne, and Dr. W. M. Venablos Williams. Mr P. N. G. Holmes, the retiring captain, proposed that Mr Harding succeeded himself in that office. Mr Harding had made great strides in the game, and was one of their coming players. He took an earnest interest in the club, and would undoubtedly prove an excellent captain. Mr D. M. Peacock seconded, and the selection met with the hearty approval of all. Mr C H. Harding, in accepting office, said he hoped to be as successful as their retiring captain; the state of the greens was sufficient testimony to the thought and time he had de- voted to it. Mr Crompton proposed the re-election of Mr W. Jones as treasurer. In seconding, Mr J. M. Porter said they should keep in mind the desirability of having money in hand, and in Mr Jones they had a man who would prevent some of the young blood from spending too much (hear, hear, and laughter). The motion was carried unanimously. Mr Jones, in replying, said he quite sym- pathised with Mr Porter's remarks. There had been a time when they were considerably in debt, but now that they had fallen on pros- perous times, he hoped they would husband their resources aa muoh as possible. If they should, as might easily happen, lose their present course, they would then have plenty of money in hand to lay out a new course elsewhere. Mr Douglas M. Peacock, whose services were acknowledged with gratitude, was re-elected secretary, on the proposition of Mr William Jones, seconded by Mr P. N. G. Holmes. The following gentlemen were elected on the committee: Messrs J. Faulkner, P. N. G. Holmes, Ferguson, H. D'Aroy, T. E. Purdy, and H. F. Ashby. IMPROVEMENTS. Mr Crompton asked if the course could be drained, especially in the vicinity of the first, third and fourth holes. Mr Holmes replied that the work was to be carried out at those holes, and the fifth. THANKS TO THE PRESIDENT. Mr William Jones said there was one debt owing to their chairman. He had acted as pre- sident for the last two years in a most efficient manner (hear, hear). They much appreciated the work done by him, and the support given by him in many ways. He had much pleasure in proposing that their best thanks be tendered to the chairman for his valuable services to the club (hear, hear). Mr J. Crompton seconded, and included in the motion the name of Mrs W. M. Venables Williams. Dr. and Mrs Williams had, he said, done perhaps more than anyone else in creating that happy feeling that so fully dominated the life of the club. He hoped the monthly meet- ings would continue, to be a feature of their work (applause). Dr. Williams, in replying, said it had always been a great pleasure to Mrs Williams and him- self to do anything they could for the dub. A golf club was not only a pleasure, but it was essential to the welfare of the town (applause). Their links were most beautifully situated, and he hoped the club would be a suocess, and enjoy a long life. He c-oncluded with wishing every- one present a merry Christmas and a happy New Tear,

THE LIVERPOOL C.M. MINISTRY. A CARNARVON MINISTER INVITED TO THE PASTORATE OF PRINCE'S ROAD CHURCH. The Rev. Howell Harris Hughes, B.A., B.D., ha.3 been invited to undertake the pastorate of Prince's-road C.M. Church, Liverpool. At Sun- day evening's service the announcement was made that Mr Hughes had accepted the unani- mous call extended to him. The Rev. H. Harris Hughes comes of a family which has for several generations been closely associated with the Methodist cause in Wales. His great grandfather, who hailed from North Wales, was a member of that famous community established in Treveoca, by Howell Harris, the great Welsh reformer, and one of the pioneers of Welsh Methodism. It is to this romantic connection of the family with the Trevecca "teulu" that; Mr Hughes owes the first part of his name. Mr Hughes' grandfather was born in Trevecca, arid spent the first years of his life there. Of his two sons, the elder was the father of the new pastor of Prince's-road. The younger, now the Rev. David Charles Hughes, D.D., of New York, went to America as a young man, and was destined to become prominently connected with the re- ligious life in the Trans-Atlantic City. His son is the present Governor of New York State, the Hon. Chas. Hughes, who is, therefore, first oousin to the Rev. Howell Harris Hughes. Mr Hughes' father, the late Rev. John Richard Hughes, of Anglesey, was also strongly imbued with the deep religious instinct which char- aoteriaed the family. At an early age he evinced a desire to enter the ministry, and after a course of study at Bala Theological Col- lege, where his sc., vas afterwards a student, he was duly ore1- d. Up to the time of his death, whi- ook place some 15 years ago, he was one he most popular preachers in Wales, and well-known throughout tne whole breadth of the Principality in oonnection with revivalist work. The Rev. Howell Harris Hughes was born on the 7th September, 1873, in Brynteg, Llanfair- mathafarneithaf, an Anglesey parish, renowned as the birthplace of Goronwy Owen. It may be stated that Mr Hughes' mother, whose maiden name was Lloyd, is descended from the stock of which Morgan Llwyd o Wynodd was such a notable member. After a sound elementary education, Mr Hughes, at the age of 14, gained the highest of several scholarships offered by the North Wales Scholarship Association. With this scholarship, which was of the value of JE20, tenable for two years, and an additional scholar- ship of £10, tenable for three years, awarded him by the trustees of the school, he entered Beaumaris Grammar School. His school career was marked by considerable suocess, and, after a stay of three years, he became a student at the Bangor University College, where, a year later, he passed the matriculation ex- amination of the London University. In 1895 he obtained his B.A. (Lon- don) degree. During his studentship at Bangor, he commenced preaching, under the auspices of the Anglesey Presbytery, and was admitted a member of the Monthly Meeting of the county in 1893, when twenty years of age. His un- doubted abilities were soon recognised, and he became one of the most promising young preachers of the connexion. After leaving Ban- gor he entered Bala Theological College, where he again distinguished himself, gaining the Pierce Scholarship of S50 per annum, and after four years' study, taking the B.D. degree of the Welsh University. It is a noteworthy fact that he shares with the Rev. R. Morris, M.A., B.D., DolgeHey, the distinction of being the first to gain this degree. Having thus equipped himself for a ministerial career, Mr Hughes accepted the charge of the Penmachno (C.M.) Church. Whilst there be married Margaret, the youngest daughter of Mr G. Roberts (Gwrtheyrn), Bala. As his fame as a preacher spread, he was the recipient of numerous pressing invitations to accept the charge of larger churches, but he remained in Penmachno for three years, at the end of which period he undertook the pastorate of the newly-formed church at Maenofferen, Blaenau Festiniog. Whilst at Festiniog, where his labours among the quarrymen were attended with the utmost success, he became still more popular, and his services were in continual request at special preaching meetings, held in South Wales as well as in North Wales. He remained in Blaonau Festiniog for three and a half years, again declining numerous calls elsewhere. But when the Rev. Evan Jones resigned the pastoral charge of the Moriah Church, Carnarvon, one of the most influential churches of the connexion in North Wales, and when Mr Hughes was in- vited to succeed him, the call was not one to be disregarded. He accepted the invitation and commenced his duties as pastor in February, 1907. The choice of the ohurch proved an ex- cellent one. In addition to being a first-rate preacher, Mr Hughes proved himself an organiser of no mean order, and by his tact, energy, and devotion he endeared himself to the members of his congregation. It is not often that preach- ing ability and true pastoral qualifications are shown in such happy combination as in the case of Mr Hughes during) his brief stay in Carnar- von. His efforts have been particularly success- ful among the younger members of the congrega- tion, and his approaching severance with the churoh and the town is regretted by all.

ASHFORD GIRLS' (WELSH) SCHOOL. The customary Christmas prize-giving took place at this school to-day week, December 17th.

NORTH WALES FREE CHURCH FEDERATION. BAPTIST DIFFICULTY OVERCOME. A meeting of the Executive Committee of the North Wales Federation of Free Church Coun- cil was held at Llandudno Junction to-day week, the President (Mr William George) presiding. Tho dates of the annual meetings, which are to be held at Conway, were fixed for April 28th and 29th next. The Secretary (the Rev. Dr. Oliver) reported that Dr. Witton Davies (Ban- gor), the Rev. Hugh Hughes, and the Rev. Eynon Davies (London) had promised to attend the meetings. The President, the Secretary, the Rev. Dr. Abel J. Parry, and Mrs Herbert Lewis were appointed representatives to the annual meetings of the National Council, which arc to be held at Swiuisea on March 8th, 9th, 10th, and 11th, 1909, when the Rev. Evan Jones, of Car- narvon, will preside. The following resolution were adopted unani- mously :— WELSH BAPTISTS. That this meeting of the executive of the North Wales Federation expresses its approval of the Welsh Councils' undertaking that in no circumstances will a united Communion service .be held in connection with their meetings, thu3 respecting the conscientious oonvictions of the Welsh Baptists on this question and the spirit of the Free Church Council's constitution, which is baaed on oommon action and belief." DISESTABLISHMENT. "This executive welcomes the pledge of the Prime Minister to pass a Disestablishment and Disendowmeat Bill for Wal and expresses its oontinued confidence in his repeated assurances on behalf of the Government to do their utmost to give effect to the will of the people in this as well as other causes of paramount importance." EDUCATION. "That this committee greatly regrets the failure of the many attempts made to arrive at a satisfactory settlement of the religious difficulty, such failures being entirely due to the unreason- able demands of the clerical party, and that an appeal be made to the education authorities to administer the existing law in a way calcu- lated to promote a truly national system of educa- tion." LICENSING. dp "This committee urges the Councils to con- tinue their efforts to secure a complete solution of the drink problem and to co-operate with temperance organisations in seeing that the exist- ing laws are put in force. It protests against the action of the House of Lords in rejecting the Licensing Bill. which was brought forward in response to the demand of the nation for the bettering of the moral arid social condition of the people."

THE BISHOP OF BANGOR 1 AND THE EDUCATION BILL LETTER TO THE CLERGY. The Bishop of Bangor has addressed tOO fol- lowing- letter to the clergy of his diooese f.n the subject of the dropped Education Bill: GJyng-arkh Palaoe Dec. 16. 1903. Dear Brethren,—I thank you most knom-ely for the thoughtful and reasoned replies whija you have made to my questions about the lato Education BiU. They have shown me that -b4; withdrawal of the Bill is not & fact; in pny way to boo regretted, as it was impossible to expect that any such alterations in its details as would remove or lessen on gravest objections would receive the assent of our opponents. Neverthe- less, I am thankful that the attempt has ueen made, and I believe that good will resulrat, because it has revealed how many there are one with us in their love of oar Lord and Master Christ, differing from us in their idea how He is to be served, who desire earnestly that a solu- tion may be found, which, without wounding anyone's oonvictions, will ensure the children of our land being brought up in the faith and fear of God; secondly, because, though the attempt has failed, it may help towards the discovery of the true solution. And it seems to me that we must turn our attention away from the Ministers and Parliament to the committee over which Lord Cromer presides. It may be that the in-1 formation you have given may assist them to an extent quite out of proportion to the size and importance of our diooese. For it is often through finding out what won't do that we get on the track of what will do. As for ua, our course aeems to be plain— quietly, firmly, without clamour, to put forth our own views of wiiat is just and right, and to expose and resist wihaiever is unjust, and d, after having done our best in a Christian, law- abiding way, we are overborne, not to despair, but to reomucat how often, since St. Paul's im- prisonment at Rome, has the apparent triumph of its opponents resulted in the furtherance of the Gospel; and then to pray in faith, nothing doubtmg, not that our policy or plans may suc- ceed, but that God's Holy Spirit will guide the hearts of us and of all on whom the responsi- bility lies to the beet method of bringing His little ones to know and,jove our Lord. I commend this thought to you for the last Sunday of this year. It is St. John's Day. We know how dearly he loved little children. Wnat more fitting than that we should make tbe spiritual welfare and happiness of our ohil- dren a oentral point in our devotions on that day ?- Your fait'hful servant in Christ, WATKIN BANGOR.

THAT WINTER COUGH! Cold Weather Scourge Banished by Pepe. Thousands of peopla dread the arrival of the cold weather because they know it means for them a return of that awful winter oough. Firet they begin with a dry barking oough -which makes the chest sane and shakes the whole frame. Night and day the victim is torn 1iy this winter cough which lacerates the tender tissues of the throat in the oonstcuit endeavour to expel the phlegm. To suob the news of Science's latest discovery will be very welcome, for the unique Peps treatment provides an ideal remedy for meh trovble. Tlhe medicinal fumes are inhaled, as Peps d»- ^solve an tihe tongue, aad have a powerful stimu- iafang and tome erffcot on fihe glands, which keep Che bhro&fc and bronchial tubes moist and elastic. The hard barking oough at once sof tons, and the phfegto is loosened and expelled in Nattire's own way, wfhile breathing is maoo easy and deep. The most obstinate oough is conquered by Peps, and an end is quackly put to the soreness and wbeeziness csweied by constant coughing. Free from the dangerous drugs and narcotics fouad in liquid oouglh-mixtusree, and common Icoenges, Peps are Ba.fØ alile for old and young. To old folk, especially, they are indispensable beaause th^y proeerve the priceless strength so often wasted by cofntxnually coughing. Pops, which are sold by all chemists cut la lid and 2s 9d a box, are recommended by doewn for oougIM, ooid, bronchitis, soro or relaxed throat., old-age oough, that hacking night cough, and ohfwt troubles. The timely use of a few Peps will nip in the bud a bout of very serious oougb. ing.

The fifth annual meeting of the Colwyn Bay and District Horticultural Society was held in the Old Magistrates' Court, Station-road, on Friday evening, Mr T. E. Purdy (chairman of committee) presiding. There was an exception- ally large attendance, bearing testimony to the greatly increasing interest taken in the society each successive year. ANNUAL REPORT. The Secretary (Mr W. Groom) presented the annual report, in the course of which it was stated that a special feature of the past year was the garden party in the grounds of the president (Mr W. Whitehead), who had had a splendid in- fluence in bringing the society and its objects before the residents of Colwyn Bay and district. The committee desired to placa on record their grateful appreciation of the president's generosity upon that occasion, and. of his keen interest in the society generally during the two ysars of his presidency. The fifth annual show on the 23rd of July had proved in every way a splendid success, the entries, numbering over 700, being remarkably fine in quality. The chrysanthemum show and concert on November 19th again had proved very successful. Great praise was due to their esteemed lady pre- sident (Madame Riviere) for the grand pro- gramme arranged, and the committee wished tc express their gratitude to her for her valued ser- vices which had done so much towards placing the society in so sound a financial position (ap- plause). The report was adopted on the proposal of Mr Hartley, seconded by Mr W. Jackson. TREASURER'S REPORT: SUBSTANTLKL RESERVE FUND. Mr H. Bourne, hon. treasurer, presented the balance sheet, which showed that the receipts for the year totalled £280 15s 4d.

The balance in hand was L40 16s lOd, while there was a reserve fund in the bank of L60 (applause). The Chairman remarked that the result was one upon which they could all congratulate them- selves. He would emphasise what was said in the secretary's report with reference to the assistance given them to record such a success. The balanoe sheet was adopted on the motion of Mr T. Edge, seconded by Mr Hartley. ELECTION OF OFFICERS. The Chairman said that unfortunately Mr Whitehead, the president, had decided to give up the position which he had filled with such credit to himself during the past two years. He had taken a great interest in, and supported the society in every way, and although retiring from the presidency, would continue to do so (hear, hear). On the proposition of the Chairman, seconded by Mr H. Bourne, Mr J. J. Wooller was elected to the presidency, the meeting being unanimous in its decision. LADY PRESIDENT. The Chairman read a letter from Madame Riviere, the lady president, suggesting for the consideration of the committee the desirability of appointing a new lady president each year. This she considered would be an advantage, and would make for the popularity of the society. In order that her suggestion might be acted upon shq tendered her resignation, but added that if she could be of any use, it would be a source of pleasure to her to take any part in the work which made for the society's success. She cordially thanked the committee for the assist- ance given her during her term of office. The meeting were unanimously of opinion that Madame Riviere should be invited to retain office for yet another year. Mr T. E. Purdy was re-elected chairman of committee, with Mr W. Jackson as vioe-cbair- man, with the following acting as the com- mittee :—Messrs R. Jackson, T. Kilbourn. C. Hartley, J. Faulkner, W. Greenfield, E. Driver, r2v A. Blakeman. T. Edge, Coulson, W.

Groom as secretary, the meeting recognising the sterling work or these gentlemen by according them a hearty round of applause. The following names were added to the list of hearty round of applause. The following names were added to the list of vice-presidentsMr W. Whitehead (ex-presi- dent), Mrs Harris Jones, Mr J. M. Porter, Mr J. E. Chariton, the HOT. Laurence Brodrick, Canon Roberts, the Rev. John Griffiths, Mr T. J. Williams, Mrs Wilding, Mr Yates, Mr Fred Turner, and Mrs Little. CHRYSANTHEMUM GROWING AT COL- WYN BAY. Mr B. Cromwell, of Allerton, who acted as judge at the recent chrysanthemum show, wrote commenting on the exhibits. He said: "Cer- tainlty there was a marked improvement in the cultivation of the plants and out blooms all round this season, as compared with your show last year, and I think, with a good committee of management, that Cohvyn Bay will become an important centre in North Wales for both chrysanthemums and fruits, as to my mind the genial climate in and around Colwyn Bay should be an inducement to the residents to give their attention to their cultivation and thus add to attention to their cultivation and thus add to the beauty of the district" (hear, hear). A POPULAR LADY PRESIDENT. The Chairman said that at the previous meet- ing of the committee it had been decided to ask Madame Riviere, the lady president, whether she would accept a small token of their respect and esteem, in the shape o £ some specimen trees to be planted in her garden. He had been de- puted to see Madame Riviere, whev he was glad to say, had expressed her delight to accept the offer (hear, hear). It had been decided that Messrs C. Hartley and T. Jones should inspect the ground and chose the most suitable spots for the trees. The meeting readily confirmed the action of the committee, and it was decided to invite the following to plant the trees on behalf oi the society: Mr Walter Whitehead. J.P., Madame Riviere, Mr Charles Reynolds, J.P., Mr T. E. Purdy, Mr Charles Hartley, and Mr W. H- Bourne. THANKS TO THE PRESIDENT. On the motion of the Chairman the cordial thanks of the society were voted the retiring president for his services and support during the year. BEAUTIFYING THE SEA FRONT. At the close the Chairman referred to a new scheme whereby the society could practically benefit Colwyn Bay. A great improvement could be effected in the way of beautifying the sea front by artistically laying out the railway embankment facing the and he suggested that in conjunction with the Urban District Coun- oil the society should approach the Railway Com- pany with the object of obtaining their permission to o&rry out such work (hear, hear). The de- tails of the scheme would be considered at a future meeting of the committee (hear, hear). The scheme was most ferourably received. 4
