THE BANGOR CLERICAL .EDUCATION SOCIETY.—The Dean of Bangor, the Very Rev Henry T. Edwards, ex- plains the reason why th.3 council of the above society has been dissolved. He says :—-For seven years the society was under the (management of a somewhat numerous council, conflicting of laymen and clergymen in equiil numbers. A year ago it was decided extend its operations. A special appeal was made o the Churchmen of the diocese, and found a very liberal response. Within twelve months the income of the society has risen frem J6346 to £800 per annum. It was found by experience that the council, the members of which lived in various parts of the diocese, could not meet sufficiently often >to conduct the managements the society with efficiency. It was therefore decided, by a vote of the council itself, that the practical control of the society's operations should for the future be entrusted to the bishop of the diocese and assessors selec ed by him at own discretion. The dissolution of the council, therefore, is due not to a decrease, but rather to a very large increase, in the resources of:the society, and the ceneequent necessity for a less cum- brous and more effective management. I may add that at the present time 14 of the society's senior alumni., all of whom are being educated at Oxford or Cambridge, are residing in Bangor for several weeks of their iong vacation, with a view to receivingunder my own charge special preparation for ministerial work in this Welsh diocese. The resltsof the society's operations aremost encouraging. We have every reason to believe that its influence will prose at no distant period to be efthe highest value to the Welsh Church."
