An imprudently heavy m'eal, eaten on a day of extreme heat, caused his illness, Ha obstinate internal stoppage. Althongh arcustomed publicly to denounce physician3, the Prophet summoned a. Gentile doctor but- it was too late. His precarious f: ate was kepr very secret, but got known sufficiently for swarms of Mormon leaders to arrive, and he died surrounded hy a crowd of wives and daughters, as well tn all the chief Mormon councillors. New York papers unanimously believe Mormoni^in will dwindle away.

GOOD TEMPLARY IN WALES. j ANNUAL SESSION AT WREXHAM. The members of the "order" who are at the head of the English Grand Lodge of Wales. this year selected Wrexham as their rendezvous, and consequently this week has been occupied by numerous meetings of vanous descriptions—receptions, a gnmd lodge meeting, a sub ordinate lodge meeting, a procession round the principal streets of the town, and lastly a ten. and public gathering. The Temperance Hall in the Beast Market and the Hill-street Smnday Schoolroom hare been the scenes of the important affair, and all parts of the Principality, where there were lodges to represent the order, sent their representatives—one or two accordiug to the numerical strength of the roll book. Among the list of names of those who took part at Hill-street were Joseph Malins. G.W.C.T. of England, who started the institution on these shores, having obtained the necessary charter from our American cousins. Bro. J. W. Kirton, Grand Worthy Secretary of the Order in England, also attended, but this gentleman is better known as the author of u Buy ypur own cherries," which came out, and attracted so much attention in the columns of the British Workman. The Temperance Hall had bKn gaily decorated in honour of the occasion. Rows of evergreens hung from each corner of the building, the eight charters of the lodges of Wrexham were decorated with imitation roses, and in fact everything possible was done to give a cordial and seemly welcome to the "knobs" of the cause. The representatives arrived here by various traies, and brothers" were in waiting at the station to convey them at once to apartments, which were somewhat difficult to obtain, as to lJUt up at an hotel, we suppose, would be supporting the publican. The Assistance of several good singers of this locality was obtained, as was also the service of the baud of the Rifle Volunteers. The first meeting was held in the Pi-jsbvterian Chapel Schoolroom, Hill-street, on Monday, and was advertised far and wide as THE RECEPTION SOIREE. Many lodge officers and others came together, and delivered addresses. Music interspersed the addresses, and thus added much to make the affair pass off with considerable Brother Price Jones, Wrexham, also had erected a lime-light, appartus, from which he showed interesting views on a sheet hung at the head of the rmm. ft., fihnto nf 'he G and Onief Templ.ir of WaJ?, ,i .•• mother Sir W ltV'd Lawson, were received with An anthem, or rrher a parodv on "God bless the P'-iupe of Wales," nneot Sir Wilfrid, was sung. Several instrument! t.io-, part songs, and solos were rendered at intervals between numerous speeches. The Reception Committee had provided tea for the dele- gates. and about a hundred partook of the same during the evening. The audience being seated, the Right Worthy Chair- man called upon Miss Thornas, Miss M. E. Thomas, and Mr F. Allmand for a trio on the piano and harmonium, and they very brilliantly executed Sidney Smith's Fair Queen." The Chairman then remarked that it was intended that that meeting should be as informal as possible. They desired to give a hearty welcome to all the friends who had come from long distances to Wrexham. Sister Lewis, from Cardiff, and a glee party, then sang very sweetlv a chorus, "Little Sister's gone to Sleep,* bv C. A. White. Brother Edwards. G.W.S., of Cardiff, then addressed the meeting. Most of them were aware that he came from the celebrated Cardiff distriat, and he could assure them that he had a very pleasant report to present to them. There was a good spirit exhibited in their lodges, they should, he felt sure. pee such a revival in Good Templarv in Cardiff as. he believed, they had never seen before. In their old lodges, what they had had were dirty, inconvenient places, and high rents, and much to contend with. When they got a brother who was a member of a chapel into their lodge it was very seldom considered a serious offence among his chapel brethren to violate his obligation, although they, as Good Templars, did think it If he did so they disciplined him, he returned from the order, and became their inveterate enemy. Consequently, their lodge-rooms were lost, or their rents raised, and they were shunted about from to fee. But their friends h^d not an idea of what the lodges could do for the benefit of their members. They had new a lodge-room (apolause), which was not to be surpased in the United Kingdom (hear. hear), and their members felt it to he their own, and none could molest them. They were engaged in a great temperance reform, and that reform demanded enormous exertions, and great personal sacrifice on the part of individual members. Their district lodge was out of debt (applause). They bad bad all their dues out of the grand lodge Oh oh !"). Some of them might smile, but they had raised their subscriptions to pay their way out of them (hear. hear). Most of them were aware that they were to raise some means to pay off their grand lodge debt, so that they might start fair and rqunre. It was from the subordinate lodges that the district lodges and grand lodges, and temples must gather their strength. If the subordinate lodges weak, the grard lodges were weak. Let them seek to make their sub-ordinate lodges better let them support every individual institution, and remem- ber the object for which they were interested—to save the fallen, and to prevent others from falling into the snares of the tempter, and they might depend upon it, it was onlv earnest work by which they gained success. He prayed that the time might come when they should live in perfect purity. Let them labour with this deter- mination that. they will, if possible, leave this world better than they found it (applause). Vocal duet—Sister Lewis and Bro. Davies. Bro. Raper, a grand lodge officer, from Cardiff, in the course of a humorous speech, said they were o liged to scheme a little now-a-days. or they could not make all esds meet. Everybody complained that trade was bad, and that it was bad times and if we asked them for a subscription, that was the excuse that ought to shut them up in a minute. They could, however, get plenty of tobacco. They could not do without that. He was glad to have the opportunity of coming to Wrexham at the Grand Lodge meeting. He had always given a fair share ot his time to the cause of temperance, however numerous his engagements might be, for the last thirty years, and, he said, it was a grand labour for a man to lay himself out to the mission. Such a man would be known, and wise (applause). He closed his address amid much applause by saying that he hoped this year they should do better. Bro. Samuels having sung Laugh and grow fat," assisted by a glee party, The Chairman introduced Bro. the Rev John Pugh, the Past District Chief Templar for Merionethshire, as one who bad come from a very turbulent district. Mr Pugh, in addressing the audience, said the Grand Worthy Chief Templar had referred to his having come from a tnrbulent district—Monmouthshire. That was so- and they had two difficulties-depression of trade and the negro question, and they ought to thank God they were there that day. They, as templars, in their district, had done well in holding their ground against the attacks led by a colonel, and only a poor minister of the gospel to lead the other side. But he was thankful to say they had held to the fundamental principles of their order (loud applause). Mr Price Janes then showed a few pictures with his lime light instrument. Among others were the Wrexham Church, exterior and interior, Bro. Daniels, Mr Plimsoll, and the Wrexham coffee car. The Home over there," from Sankev's collect of hymns was sung, and God bless Sir Wilfred Lawson." A piece of poetry was then read by a brother, Mr O'Bryn. of his own composition, on the order, and special interest was attached to this as the brother was one of the men, of whom the poet Laureate asks When shall their honor fade, Men of the Light Brigade ? Noble six hundred. having fought under Sir Colin Campbell in the ever memorable charge of Balaclava. Bro. Evans, District Deputy of Carmarthen, speaking of the references made to the cause in Cardiff, said they had done no better than those of Carmarthenshire. Thev had to fight hard in the negro quession, and they had been reduced in numbers in consequence of that and the advance of the lodge tax. They had weeded oat those who never attempted, and never intended to be Good Templars, except for curiosity's sake, and now the few that stood in Carmarthenshire, he believed to be faithful. He believed that although they numbered only 135 in the district, they were better than when thev numbered 335. Bro. Samuel then sang Cl The Mission." The Rev. Thomas Evans was the next to speak. Speaking of Merionethshire, he felt it to be the cream of all other counties. He closed a very earnest address by recommending them to read Dr. Talmage's sermons showing that the more they do, they should be the stronger. Bro. James Davies sang, He wipes a tear from every eye." after which a recess was granted. After the recess, order was called, and the glee party sang He made all Nature free." Bro. J. M. Jones then called attention to the im- portance of all attending the procession the next day, and the Chairman supplemented his remarks. A few announcements were made, and as there were several others to speak, it was arranged to adjourn that meeting till Wednesday evening. The proceedings c'osed by three juvenile templars reciting a dialogue I'm a temperance lad," and the National Anthem was sung. Several propositions were brought before the notice of the lodge, but little or nothing in this direction was dose. OUT-DOOR DEMONSTRATION. The procession, which was announced in the bills to take place on Tuesday, at three o'clock, started shortly after that time. It had a very imposing effect. Old and young were well represented. The Band of Hope came first ifter the Wrexham Rifle Volunteer band, and the fore- most boys carried a large banner bearing the name and rlev'ce of the order. After this followed a small army of little ones belonging to that particular society, bearing 3ags with colours of the rainbow, with such devices as "Drink and Slavery," Wine is a Mocker," Sc. After :hese followed the Juvenile Templars, the miniature ifScere, and then the members, all in their respective regalia. Then followed a host of other children, and the I rear W&B brought up by the seniors," of all degrees and nod order and other (euipor«iiCc: ions were preseHton 'the occasion. ThrJ pror.¡.!<"j"n passed through Charles- street, .High-street, Toftvn-hill, Chapel-street, Madeira. h i¡], willow-road, Salop-road,Mount-streot, Yorke-street, Chester-street, Grosvecor-road, Hope-street, and Hen- i i eet, to the Public Hall. In was HIP rsballed by Shortly after arriving back with the jKGces.ion, the members and representatives, or many of partook t'1I in the Public Hail. The room was comfortably fill. At half-past seven, THE PUBLIC MEETING Was held in the same room. Before the time for com- mencing' the proceedings every available inch of the roull-floor and gallery—was occupied by an attentive and enthusiastic audience. The platform had been carpeted and chairs placed on it, and it was also filled. Mr Osborne Morgan, Q.C., MP., occupied the chair, and his appearance, with that of many others on the plat- form, was the signal for considerable applause. Amongst those who supported him were Messrs. W. L. Daniel, G.W.C.T. (Merthvr), Joseph Malins, the Rev. Thomas Evans, the Rev. W. Ross, the Rev. Mr Pugh, Mr — Pugh (of Tredegar), Mr John Piper (Belfast), Captain Thomas (Carnarvon), and Mr Raper (Cardiff. Mr Morgan, M.P., in opening the meeting, said it was with a feeeling not only of pleasure hut of pride that he fcTiiul himself called npou to preside over so large and rf-p" M tativo and enthusiastic an assembly as the present. He b«lieved he saw around him delegates rnd representa- tives not only from every part of the principality, bnt from every part of England, and he could say without doubt thattheie was-never so excellent an organisat'on sec on foot for so excellent au end (cheers). They were rot met, however, merely for (hs purpose of mutual con- gratulation and mutual compliment. They would look to him, at any rate they had a right to look to him, occupying he did the position of being their representa- tive in parliament—(he^.r, hear)—and to ask him to. throw light if he could on what he might call the Par- liamentary plsition of the question and the object which they all had in view to promote. In other words, thev had the right to ask him w hàt they had to hope or expel t from the present House of Commons, and in stating hIs views as to that he would be perfectly open and frank with them. He was afraid he must tell them that from the present Hoe of Commons—they had very little to rr>)i>e (luvir. tv-ar). The proent House of Commons was elected under very exceptional circumstances (laughter). I1- was elec'ed a' a time when the licensed victuallers were smarting under the stmg which thev received from Mr Gladstone's Government and they threw their whole weigh" into the ranks of the opposition, and he was afraid iiey managed to return what he might be allowed to call without much disrespect" The Publicans'Par- liament" (cheers and laughter). If they wanted proof of that let them look to the first measure—or one of (he first measures—which was passed by the present Parliamant—he meant the licensing amendment act of 1874. That was one of the first acts passed, and he veu- to say it was one of the worst (hear, hear). He was afraid he must tell them that Mr Cross managed to ex- tend the time, long enough already, be was sure for keeping open public-houses at either end. and then they found to their disgust, he might say, that they had lost the little ground they had gained under Mr Bruce, and that, their last, stage was worse than the first. He had no hesitation in denouncing, as he denounced in the House of Commons, that measure as a most iniquitous one (hear hear). He lifted up his voice as far as he could against it, but he might have well as stood on the sea shore and lifted up his voice against the ad- vancing tide. Bnt he did not despair (cheers). If the present Parliament was against them, let them rem mber that the • present Parliament has not to last for ever (hear, hear). He aoured them that he spoke almost painfully. because he had done his best to advocate the cause which those present had at heart. But just observe the difHculties under which ihey laboured. His excellent friend Mr Wilson had never been able to obtain a second reading in favour of Sunday clo-ing. to whose bill he was happy to say he had the honour of placing his name (loud cheers). The only gleam of light which had come to the friends of temper- ance in the present Parliament came from Ireland, and even that gleam had been but a fitful one, and for a time, ho hoped not for ever, it had beon extinguished, lie wanted to point out to them that the present temperance movement was a movement for the people rather than for Parliament—(cheers)—it was a move- ment the direction of which rested with the people rather than with their representatives. What then ought to be their conducl-he was speaking now not as a member cf Parliament but as a citizen of this great empire—in view of what be might term the approaching and impending crisis ? They could do much; precept would do a great deal, example would do still more (cheers). Ministers of religion, as Mr Bright said the other day, could do an immense deal, and ho (Mr Morgan) was thankful to say they had done a great deal. Organisations like that ot the Good Templars could do and, had done an immense deal. He was an advocate for what he might cali" the principle of ci-unter attraction." He never walked home, as he was obliged to do three or four nights iu the week, from the Heu-e of Commons through the streets—lined, he might say without exaggeration, with gin palaces and paved with drunkards—he never walked home from the House of Commons and saw those miserable beings, men, and, he was sorry to say, women, too, aye, even children. fluttering round the gin palaces like moths round a Candle, only to be drawn into their destruction, bur, what he felt that perhaps there might be something in the iight and the warmth and the apparent comlort of those places which decoyed people quite as much as there was in the drInk which they supped. He said let them set up a counter attraction. He could not help thinking that if they made the homes yf the workmg classes more comfortable and more habitable, and if they gave them better homes, they might do much fo counteract the attraction of the public-house. They had, no doubt, their British Workman public-house. They had been started with great success in large towns iike Liverpool and London. They themselves were perhaps not inhabitants of a very large town, but tkey did not see why the experiment which succeeded o a large scale should not exceed also upon a smaller scale. and therefore he was happy to tell them that in Wrex- ham {they had started a Wrexham British Workman Public-house Company, where working-men and work- ing-women would be served with wholesome beverages which would cheer but not intoxicate, and he was sure the w £ ole of them wished the movement God-spe^d. He had given his mite to the movement, and had been told by some croaking friends that he might as well have thrown his into the sea. If that were so, he was sorry for it, but at any rate he would have the satisfac- tion of knowing that, if lost, it had been lost in a good cause (hear, hear). He hoped, however, it would not be lost. He liked a divideud as much as most people- (Iaughter)-but it was not on that account he hoped it would not be lost, but because he knew that in this country there was nothing which failed like failure and nothing which succeeded like success, and that if thev succeeded in putting the company on a sound aad suh- stantial footing, then he was sure they would have done a great deal to serve the cause of temperance in Wrex- ham (cheers). He now passed to what was, if possible, a more important question with regard to this movement' and that was what attitude ought they (the friends of temperance) to assume with regard to the election, whicn could not be verv far distant (hear, hear). He was sure nobody could suspect him of the slightest lukewarmness in this matter (hear, hear). He thought he might say, without hesitation or self-praise, that be had nailed his colours to the mast (loud cheers). Ever since he had thought at all upon the subject, he had always thought that our present licensing system was radically and fmndamentally wrong. He had always thought that the right principle in regard to this matter was to devote the right of controlling, and if necessary, to voting the existence of public-houses upon those very persons upon whom the weight of crime and misery and pauperism rests, and when he looked to the men whose names are to be found enrolled in that move- ment—when he thought of Cardinal Manning, when he thought of Thomas Carlyle and Professors Roulston and Huxley, and his old friend Goldwin Smith, and last, but not least, of hia dear and revered friend and tutor, Bishop Temple, he felt that they had authority as well as argument on their side (cheers). That was the reason why, in one of the very first speeches which he ever made in the House of Commons, he advocated the per- missive bill, and why he had Bever since receded fiom that. They would allow him, therefore, to say that he nailed his colours to the mast (hear, hear). Bu £ the question remained, What were they to do in view of the next election ? He knew there were many among them whose sentiments he respected who said, "Don't vote for any candidate who won't have the permissive bill." For his part, he did not much like those political shibboleths. He was afraid that very often they did more harm than good. Looking to the enormous forces that were arrayed against them. he did not wish to throw aside any help he might have from whatever quarter it might come, and he was bound to say that upon the whole he would rather have a man who would go half way with him on the journey he proposed to take than a man who started eff in an entirely different direction (hear, hear). There was good old saying that half a loaf was better than none at all. and he did not think it was wise to reject and repudiate the assistance of men who had exactly the same end in view as they .had, only that they endeavoured to pursne it by a different road (hear. hear). That was his opinion, and he was very mltch obliged to them—because he knew that many of them differed from him—for the patience with which they had listened to this frank and open and explicit enunciation of his sentiments (cheers). Whatever •might, be their sentiments they of course would not make the slightest difference to him. He was prepared to go heart and soul with themj find it wai because he had the objects which were dear to them all as much at heart as they had. that he would not throw away a single chance in the tremendous battle in which they were engaged (cheers). Whilst thanking them heartily for the kindness with which they had listened to him, he would only say one word about a man with whom he was proud to have been associated, not only publiclv but by the ties of private friendship. He mesnt Sir Wilfnd Lawson (loud cheers. He could say this, that having been nine years in the House of Com- mons he had never met, with a more single-minded man *Cr a man whom to him it was a greater pleöHlre-he might ssy a greater privilege—to follow (loud cheers). Mr Danie!, of Mcrthyr, was the next to address the meeting. He went, on to remark on the fnct that the name of Morgan had been on the back of the Sunday Closing for some yeors (applawse). and he could not forget that the chairman hJd ever supported Sir Wilfrid Lav.-fon when he had brought, up his Permissive Bit!. tie urged them to support, at the next election, those who had invaluably supported their cause, and sfood boldlv and frankly by their principles. He Jelt that the object, which had brought them together that night was worthv the attention of the most distinguished slates- men of this country, and it. mattered not to him what politics they were if they were prepared to grapple with the problem, but he would say, Tories, Radicals, and L-bcrsh", give your support to that man." There was no evil which .so demanded their attention. No sin had so few apologies as intemperance, and he believed every man, woman, and child in this world would vote it a sin, for there was no other sin so troublesome. Drunkenness was on the increase. In 18GO. the popula- tion of this country was 28,778.411, and the cost of drink .£84,222,172, or 8s 6.1 for each man, wolnan, and child but during the year 1870, the population was 33.890,237: drink, ^147,283 859, or £49s Gd per head (cries of "Shame"). The increase in population was only 1") per cent., while that in drink was 75 per cent. They were told they were not dohig much as temper- ance reformers, but he asked the people of Wrexham and the electors of Denbigh what would have become of this country but for the temperance reform of the last 45 years? One good sign was, at one time temperance was not fashionable, but now it was the order of the day (applause). He kne", of none who did not advocate temperance reform in some form. Even Mr Bass (hisses) did, but his theory was eat less and drink more (laughter). They found the Queen at the bead of the Church Temperance Society, and such men as the Arch- bishops of Canterbury and. York, and mmy bishops realising the necessity of reform (applause). The speaker spoke of the circular of Mr Bruce in the stopping of the importation of Italian street singers, but he wished he would, too. look after the children of England who were daily killed by thousands in this country. Mr Malins followed. Nine years ago, he said, Ifst Sa'nvdav, their first lodge was started in Birmingham, and for a couple of years they had to fight for an exis4(-nce, but shortly after, when they became known, the difficulty was bow to initiate speedily enough. That could not la-t, and they h id a relapse. He then spoke of the negro question, which hid done theiu so much damage, but notwithstanding there was no liklihood, as was insinuated by the opposers, of their dying out. He mentioned that, in addition to 100,000 adult members they had 500.000 juveniles going there with their parents censent, who had all taken the fourfold pledge abstain- ing from alchohol, bad language, tobacco, and giving others drink. He, speaking of the success of the order, stated that the Grand Lodge of England, two years ago. started an extensive fund, and it raised £4,000, that they had contributed £680 towards a temperance life boat which had done good service, and that the juvenile templars had their sympathies awakened on behalf of a temperauce hospital. Bro. Malins reraarktd that the templars standard had been planted in 5f) countries, and he explained that a good templar planted a G. T." device nearer the North Pole than any other man had ever reached. He closed a happy speech by urging hf1 cause of temperance. Bro. Rev. — Evans, of Merthvr, was next called upon to speak. Referring to the Walker Gallery gift in Liverpool, he said he did not believe in gifts which really were derived from wealth obtained from drink. There had been a connection between the men in a Wales mine and their God, but between a drunkard and his God man lost all intercourse and communication be- tween his God and his fellows. The Rev. Mr Ross. the Chief Templar of the world. compared the slavery of drink to the coils of a serpent, and it needed our most earnest, labours. The institution of which he was the unworthy head was endeavouring by every means in its power to save the drunkard, and free from slavery all who were bound, lie rejoiced that Order was international, and that it had such numbers enrolled in all parts of the world. He remarked that the Scotch were proverbially careful in what they supported, and. comparifively, they were the most numerous Good Templars. Then there must be something good in the Ciuse. The meeting was addressed by the Rev J. Pypsr, Mr Raper, and Capt. Thomas, and a, vote of thanks to the chairman closed the proceedings. THE GRAND LODGE SESSION opened on Tuesday morning. Bro. Daniels, G.W.C.T. of Wales, opened the proceedings in the usual form. The G.W.M. and his deputy introduced Bro. Rev. W. Rosa, R.W.G.T. and G.W.CT. of Scotland; also Bro. liaper, of Cardiff, who holds the office of R.W.G. Treasurer. Mr Turnbull was also introduced as a distinguished visitor with the usual formalties. After this a very large number of members, from 90 to 100, who were qualified, took the grand lodge degree, and this necessarily occupied some considerable time. The G.W.C.T. of England, Bro. Malins, was then introduced to the meeting and. occupied the presidency for a few minutes. The Grand Lodge resumed its session on Wednesday morning at ten o'clock. The G.W.C.T. was the president. A large number of delegates filled the room. It was ag-reed that the business be transacted in the sub-ordinate degree so as to allow of reporters of the press to be present—which were numerous. The first business of importance was the report. It was to the effect that the grand lodge approve of the act taken by their chief in regard to the negro question, and that they could see no other course which could be honourably taken, that they con- sidered the reply of the G.W.C.T. to Colonel Hickman's summons worthy of him and his'cause, The report was accepted -as read. The G.W.S:s report regretted to see such a decrease in the membership of the order, and trusted that immediate measures should be taken to regain lost ground. The Grand Lodge Executive reported that success had attended Mr Pryce Jones's enter- tainments, and believed that the executive could arrange for a continuance of the system of lecturing and that that would be a means of extending the cause of temperance. This, too, was adopted. Expressions of condolence were adopted, and ordered to be forwarded to the' widow and family of Brq. Annear, deceased, and also to the widow of Bro. Jones, deceased, of Neath. The next question caused very lengthy discussion. It was that "the committee consider that the raising of the per capita tax has been the chief cause of reducing the membership of the order, and desired the grand lodge to give the matter immediate and careful attention." A member, representing a great part of the Rhondda Valley, stated that many in that valley could not pay the Is per luarter, trade was 30 bad. Other represen- tatives deprecated the use of tobacco, as being injurious to the interest and benefit of the order. Cries of "question" greeted this, but the brother was ruled to be in order. Brother Harries said that the question was serious. The enemy was crafty and powerful, and they must put their in their pockets. The report, as amended, was carried, and the present tax retained. Brother Daniels read telegrams from lodges, sending their fraternal greetings. The grand lodge degree was then con- ferred on a number of members, and then the report of the Juvenile Temple work was read by Brother Johns. It stated that the number of temples, 2,633, and that the juvenile order was in a critical condition, so that they recommended a competent superintendent be elected, recom- mending Brother Jones Parry, of Aberdare, The report was then considered seriatim. Brother Ross was obliged to leave an account of his necessity in Birmingham, and after a few congratulatory remarks to the lodge, and a few remarks eulogistic of the G.W.C.T., was formally conducted from the room by the chaplain. The consideration of the Juvenile Temple report was then recommended and adopted with a few altera- tions. The constitution report was then tendered by Brother Raper. He said it was so complete that it couid be taken at the whole, but it was decided to take seriatim. This was done, and the report was adopted with a few unimportant alterations. The report being lengthy we cannot enter into it fully. The financial report followed. It was recom- mended, among other things in this report, the capita tax be 3d for "brothers and 2d for sisters per quarter. This caused a considerable amount of discussion. It was ultimately decided decided that the sister tax be 2d, and the tax for brothers 3d. Brother Darke, Grand Chaplain, having to leave for Birmingham Conference, addressed the audience, in which he said he hoped this time next year their numbers would be doubled. The Journal of Pro- ceedings was still to continue, but it was recom mended to curtail it as much as possible. It was carried that the G.W.C.T. be an honorary one, with J680 a year allowance for the clerk's salary, and the remuneration of the G.W.S. should be .£150 per annum, inclusive of office rent. Later on in the day the great question of finance arose, and the accounts for the year showed a debt of .£150, or thereabouts. This, by the liberality of the representatives, was contributed, and the Lodge starts clear for the ensuing year. The-next business before ehe meeting was the reception of a committee from the Independent Order of Rechabites, and another from the United Kingdom Alliance, who presented addresses. The Rechabites (Cambria's Glory Tent, No. 848) congratulated the lodge on its meeeting in Wrex- ham for the the first time. They admitted their own ranks had been greatly increased by the agency of the Good Tenuplary, but they regretted that in the Principality of Wales the Order of Rechabites had not been more extensively established. They asked that their claims might be presented to the various Good Templar Lodges, feeling assured that numbers, especially the young, will be induced to join the organisation. The address of the United Kingdom Alliance also expressed congratulations on the birand Lodge being held in Wrexham, and its sympathy with the object in view. It concluded: We would express the hope that in your several lodges every member may be imbued with the principles of legislative prohibition, so that when necessity arises they will be prepared to support such Parliamentary candi- dates as are willing to trust the people themselves with the power to deal with the hydra-headed mon- ster—the liquor traffic-or, in other words, to pro- mote the Permissive Prohibitory Bill of Sir Wilfrid Lawson. The election of officers was then proceeded with and Bro. Edwards was elected to the office of G. W. C. Templar for \he ensuing year. This brought Wednesday's proceedings to a close. On Thursday, the next important resolutions considered were that of reducing the fee on entering the lodge, common [y known as the initiation fee, and the making district secretaries eligible fer the grand lodge degree. In the former resolution, a .great majority were in favour of retaining the present subscription on joining. It was argued that men drank more than is 6<1 in a short space of time, and having abstained for a fortnight or so they would save the required amount. It was, then, agreed not to accept the resolution. In the next case, it was argued that the office of district secretary was one of the most laborious description, and ought to be recognised by the grand lodge. It was then, by a large majority, agreed that district secretaries be eligible for the conference of the grand lodge degree. During the morning the officers elect were initiated, and Bro. Edwards, of Cardiff, was the G. W. C. T. He took the office, and in doing so, made a fey remarks, thanking them for the honour. The proceedings closed on Thursday, by an enter- tainment, in the Temperance Hall, when the teetotal musical talent of the Principality took part The pieces on the pr gramme were inter- mixed with short speeches from Messrs Harries &nd Edwards, and the Rev. J. Pugh, of Tredegar, and others. The audience was numerous and attei.nvr. Muoh interest was evoked bv the fact that a real hero of the Charge of Balaclava was to quote Tennyson's poem, and Mr O1 i!yrn was loudly applauded. On Friday morning, most of the Representatives left the town by the 8.8 train on a flying visit to Chester, and not a few Wrexhaniites spent the day in an enjoyable manner.

FOOTBALL. WREXHAM.—The first eleven of the Wrexham team had a scratch match on Saturd- y last, with 16 of the other members of the club, the eleven scoring three goals to love. The play was very good all round, and the passing on the part of the eleven wis excellent. PROPOSED CLUB FOR LLANGOLLEN.—At a meeting held in the Armoury, Llangollen, on Monday (Mr J. \V. Tanqueray, presiding), it was resolved that a football club be formed in L!an- gollen. The officers appointed were—Mr R. G. Smith, captain Mr II. Cope, secretary; and J. j W. Tanqucrav, Esq., treasurer. The opening match will be played at the Recreation Ground on Saturday next, at 3.30 p.m. THE DRUIDS.—We are informed that a match has been arranged between this club and the renowned Queen's Park," of Glasgow, who, it may be remembered, won "The Scottish Challenge Cup" two years in succession. ,k The Druids are also drawn against "The Shropshire Wanderers" i-n I- The English Challenge Cup" competition this year. Their opening match takes place to-day, though we strongly suspect that it is by no means the first this season. THE WELSH CHALLENGE CUP. If there are any secretaries of clubs who have not yet sent in tbeir subscriptions for this competition, we would urge them to do so to-day, 'after which it will be too late. Unless the association is well supported by the different clubs it cannot be expected that the general public will do so, and although some'clubs mny think that their chances of success are somewhat remote, still we think it is their duty to assist an association which has done' so much for the promotion of football in the Principality. It is expected that the entries wili far exceed the original expectations of the com- mittee, and we are glad to say that at least one South Wales club has entered. The hon. sec. of the association is Mr T. W. A. Cooper, Wrexham Fechau, Wrexham, We shall be able to publish a complete list of the entries and cup ties 11 next week.

CRICKET, CIVIL SERVICE v POXTBLYDDYN.—The return match of the above clubs will be played on the to-(ily (Saturday). Play to commence at 2.30 prompt, the ground being kindly lent for the occasion. WYNNSTAY v MOSS YALLEF^h^^i^ip^ThTs mutch was played at Euabon, on Saturday last, and after some extraordinary' play, resulted in a victory for the home team. Moss Valley won the toss, antI snt their opponents to the wicket, but their railings closed for 23, owing to the excellent bowling of Messrs Morrison Itntl Crawfnrd. It was now a foregone conclusion thai Moss Valley would win easilv but, with the fine bowling of Messrs C. H. Lloyd and W. Jones against, them, they could only accomplish the small total of 8 The bowling of Mr C. H.

MR .OSBORNE MORGAN ON CHURCH AND STAlE. On Thursday afternoon, 1H1' Osborne Morgan, M.P., was at Frood, where he la'd the foundation- stone of a Primitive Methodist chafd. After the ceremony, the we ithec being squally wet, the assembly adjourned to a large room at tSo Frood Inn, "where the Primitives have up to the present j time met for public worship. After an irrro- dilatory speech by on" of the ministers of the denomination, in which i.e pwe statistics showing the progress of Primitive Methodism during the past seventy years, Mr Osborne Morgan was invited to address the meeting. After a few introductory remarks, he said: I have been Hiuch struck with the encouraging account your minister gave of the progress your different connections are making towards union. You may depend upon it that that union will become nearer and nearer in proportion as you devote yourselves, not to the letter which divides us, but to the spirit which makes us one. In spirit. I think we are one. I will tell you why I think so. I read with great attention a short trbct stating what are the primary doctrines of the Primitive M-thodists; and I was very aston- ished to find, on looking through it, that there was not one L couid not conscientiously believe and support. When I hear that your doctrines are the doctrines of John Wesley, 1 think the day on which John Wesley separated from the Church of Eogiand was the worst day the Church of England has had since the Reformation (applause). I only wish the Church of England was ending back in > hat direction. I believe a great portion of the Church is ,doing so, and that is one reason on which I buiid my hope that sooner or later the Church of England will cease to be a State Church; because I feel that so long as she is a State Church so long will she have no spiritual freedom at all. It is perfect nonsense to talk of the inner voice of the Church of England The inner voice is nothing more than The voice of 1 Parliament, and what the voice of Parliament is it is not for me tJ &ay; but it is not a spiritual voice-it cannot be from its very nature. I hope we may think there are many spiritual men m the House of Commons; but we have men of all kin Is there. It is right we should have men of ail opinions, it is right and n jcessary we should have Catholics and Jews in the House of Commons bu whac I want to know is how can an these men, holding different opiniom on religious matters, combine and say what is the inner voice of the Church of England (hear, hear)? I alluded the other day to a speech of Mr Fosier, a man I greatly admire for his courage, though I don't agree with him in everything^ Mr Foster said at iiiadford he should declaro himself in favour of disestablishing the Church of England if he could only make up his mind that a State chinch was not necessary for the purposes of religion. The next time I see Mr Foster I will tell you what I will do. I will invite him to come down to Wales (heai, hear). I will invite hijn to walk through any little valley and OIl any mountain side in the Piincipality, and point out to him chapels and Sunday schools springing up on each side of the valley, ay, and on the top of the mountain, and I wii. say to him, Here is my answer here I think you have the proof that with us at least in Wales religion can walk without leaning on State crutches" (cheers). My friends, there is a tree which has lately attracted a great deal of attention. It is caued the euca]YP.3 tree. I hope we don't want it here but I have oeen in countries where I have seen the wonderful effects of that tiee. I have travelled in Africa and Italy, and seen p.acds so deadly with miasma that it was im- possible for any human being to sleep there; for to s.eep there was certain death. This tree, by the i rovideuce of God. was discovered in Australia, aud has ben rapidly transplanted to Europe and Africa and other places for it was discovered that such is the influ juce of this tree that rfie moment you plant it, the moment the tree strikes its roots into the ground, by some wonderful purifying process it actually destroys all the impurities in the air, it kills the plague, and makes the country that I was so unhealthy that no one could live there, as healthy as a garden. I have seen a plain absolu- tely. uuinhabited ten years ago covered with smiling inhabited by rosy "instead of sick people. ii at is ad owing to the eucalyptus tree. That is what exactly happens here. Your chapel, if YOll will*d )wme to say so, is the eucalyptus tree of this neign bout hood. It will draw up by its doctrines the miasma, the plague of vice; irrehgioy, and unbelief; and I that. like the tree of which I ha. spoken, it will make the atmosphere around you pure, healthfuJ, and holy that as its Sabbath sci 00 spreads its influence around, one and all of you will become happier; be the happier men women, and children, too, because you will feei you are doiw; in your different and your minister in your name is doing, a work for God. serving the giory or God, and seeking the benefit of men. My friends, 1 most cordially echo the wishes and prayer of your minister that this chapel, the foundation of which, in common with vour respected and kind friend and neighbour, "airs Coulishaw, I had the happiness of la/insr, may tei d tor the edification of men and the glory ot God (applaiise).

A short rime ago £ 1 members and pewholders resolved to transfer the chapel and school premises from the Methodist Free Church Fta whom thev were then attached) to the Wesleyan? A resolution to that effect was onlv carried bv a majority of two, and since then a great deal of soreness has been felt, culminating in a disgraceful row on Sunday The Rev. John Hirst (supermrendent of the Manchester third circuit) was appointed to conduct the service* afternoon and evening, and the other party invited a Wesleyan lav- preacher to take the pnlpit. Mr Hirst and two or three friends took posession of the pulpit before half-past'two (the time for commencing service being a qnarter „hen he essayed „ comffieL tie XiS Mr 1.. Sharpies, a trustee, jumped ripon a form iMfcont ofthe preacher ard demanded his authority to be^ke This led to an indescnble disturbance. The char.plb/ came crowded with all sorb, of people from an immenS crowd outside. People stood upon the pew backs and seats, and aaded much to the disturbance which was now troing en in front of the pulpit. An attempt was madZ to null Mr Sharpies down and this, of course, being resisted, it led to a free fight, several persons bein| struck in the scrimmage. Hooting, shouting, whmlinjf and stamping of feet were all indulged in, aHd thoniTh the Eev. J. Hirst remained in the pulpit untii half-t spven he was rot allowed to conduct the service and the row continued with only an intermission of an hour (during which a truce was agreed upon) until half-oast seven. The minister partook of Jfen the nnlnit At dark an attempt to light the gaWas made, but" as it had been cutoff a small candle was lighted near the puJpit This caused a number of matches to be lighted in different parts of the building, and the wonder was that the place was not ret on fire. The only thing in the way of service that Mr Hirst was allowed to do was to pronounce the benediction at half-past seven. Several poli emen were stationed outside, but. though appealed to by both sides, thev declined to interfere. The con- gregation broke up in disorder.
