DIOCESAN SOCIETIES.
DIOCESAN SOCIETIES. Reports to Conference. On the second day of the St. David's Diocesan Conference at Brecon the reports of a number of diocesan societies were submitted. The Church Defence Board, in their report, commented gratefully on the great success of demonstrations against the Welsh Disestablish- ment and Disendowment Bill, and emphasised the right to demand that the Bill should be submitted to the judgment of the people Satisfactory financial support has been given to the Board during the year. The Diocesan Fund Report for 1912 showed receipts of £3,357 17s 2d, against X2,706 3s 3d 2 in 1911, when the amount was much below the average, the increase of E650 being due largely to a legacy of f277 by the late Rev. M. E. Welby, at one time vicar of Eglwys-Oen- Duw, and to a gift of Y,100 "in Memoriam." There was a substantial increaseic. subscriptions and church collections. The income, however, was not sufficient to meet all the deserving applications. Y.1,127 was spent in capital grants. From the commencement of the fund in 1885 to the end of 1912, in connection with the fund over 1229,350 had been added to the capital value of 161 benefices in the diocese, producing a permanent addition to their income of over £ 6,800 per annum. The sum of 12,264 10s was distributed during 1912 in income grants among 54 incumbents of poorly endowed benefices, and with the help of these grants the Diocesan Fund Board was able to raise the income of all parochial incumbents in the diocese to £ 160 a year and a house, as well as to pay a moiety of premium assurances to the Clergy Pension Institution. v The report of the Building Board showed that during t e year ended August, 1913, the graots from the Incorporated Church Building Society, made on the Board's recommendation, included £ 100 to the Llangaminarch Parish Church Re-building Fund, and tbO to the fund for repair of LUnvillo Church. The church collections showed an increase, but there should be further and wider support in view of what the parent society had done for the diocese. CRITICISM OF THE BOARD OF EDUCATION. The excellence of the religious instruction in the Church day schools, testified to by the Diocesan Inspectors, was the theme of the first part of the report of the Diocesan Board of Education. Referring to the drastic recom- mendations by a Departmental Committee with regard to playground accommodation, the report pointed out that the continued recognition of a Church school by the Board of Education would now seem to depend, not on the excel- lence of the buildi,,i,q., but on the provision of a playground. By an administrative Act the law of 1902 (which did nct require the enlarge- ment of an existing playground or the proviaioc of a new one) was to bsec aside. The decrease in the number of properly qualified teachers the report attributed in the main to inadequate remuneration, and as long as the remuneration was at the discretion of the Local Education Authorities, and these authorities could only offer adequate salaries by greatly increasing the rates, it was to be feared that the dearth of fully qualified teachers would not only continue but would increase. It was diffi cult to understand the attitude of the Board of Education. It enforced great, even extravagaut expenditure on buildings, play- grounds, baths, and apparatus, but allowed the teachers to be underpaid, although buildings and apparatus were of little worth without good teachers. An administrative Act of the Board of Education, compelling Church training colleges to open their doors to Nonconformists, had reduced the number of Church teachers available for Church schools, and all the colleges were now faced with grave financial difficulties. With regard to the Government's intended legislation, if Nonconformists had a grievance where there was only a Church school available, Churchpeople had equal reason to be grieved where there was only a Council school. If it was not intended to provide for alternative types of religious instruction in all single school areas, the Church would object, and any attempt to establish undenominational religion would fail. To help forward the work of the Diocesan Sunday School Association it was recommended that a Diocesan Council for Sunday Schools should be established. Tho Social Service Committee intimated that they had made their first task the investigation of housing conditions in the diocese. So much material hid been amassed that a report on it bad had to be deferred. TEMPERANCE WORK DIFFICULT AND UNPOPULAR. Whatever the cause, the report of the Tem- perance Society stated it was undoubtedly true that temperance work had become more difficult and perhaps more unpopular. The work amongst the juveniles was encouraging, but efforts to induce the adults in our parishes to show any interest have so far been very disappointing." In the diocese there were 19 adult branches and 71 juvenile branches affili. ated to the C.E.T.S,, with 962 adult and 9,120 juvenile members at the beginning of the present year. Possibly some parishes neglected to send in their returns, and a large num- ber of parishes, though doing some temper- ance work, were not affiliated to the parent society. The services of Mrs Crosbie, lion. treasurer for the Archdeaconry of Brecon, bad been lost by resignation. The report on the rescue work carried on at St. David's Diocesan House of Mercy set out that most valuable work was being done, which cold statistics could not show. On January 1st, 1912, there were 14 girls in the home, and of eight who left during the year six were doing well and one of the remaining two was a weak-minded girl of the type that could be properly dealt with when the institutions for the feeble-minded were established. Nine girls were received into the home in 1912, bringing the number up to 15 at the end of the year. Satisfactory letters were constantly being received from former inmates. An accession of strength to the managing Sisterhood was urgently needed. The Mothers' Union, it was reported, bad 114. branches and 5,264 members and associates in the diocese. The Girls' Friendly Society is now worked in 208 parishes in the diocese, and there are 960 associates and 4,618 members. The branch reports show much good work done bv the members for Girls' Friendly Society objects, parochial good works, and for mission! The Committee of the White Cross League recorded a continued revival in the work of the society in the diocese. In Advent and Lent the Rev. C. F. Cartwright held numerous successful meetings in Breconshire on behalf of the League, including one at Brecon Barracks. The Church Lads' Brigade, it was reported, continued to bold its own in the diocese, and was spreading its influence. The companies at Cefn and Brynmawr bad been successfully working almost from the time the movement first began. There were now 15 companies on the active list in the diocese, a-id a number of new ones were about to be formed. During 1912 13 the diocese contributed 13.800 15s 401 to various foreign and colonial missions, an increase of il47 17s Id. The report expressed regret that 42 benefices out of 373 in the diocese made no contribution to foreign mission work.

The Clerk res,3 a i'.tfec from the Local Government Board inquiring whether any further acsioa had beeu taken to provide a proper system rf drainage for the village ot L'aogorse. Mr Daniel Watkins Add nothing bad been done in the matter in the parinii. Mr A A Mitchell understood that it rested with the Parish Conuoil to submit tm alter- native schema to the one pat before that Council. Mr Dickinson proposed that they leave the matter for six months. R;v A E Evans: It is rather a pity to hurry the people of Llangorse like this. (Laughter.) It W&R eventually decided to write the Looai Government Board informing them that tbe District Council bad written to the Parish Council ou tbe matter and were waiting the reply of that body. HOUSES TO BE CLOSED AT TAIRBULL. The Sanitary Committee reported that the owner of the boases at Tairbul!, on which they had previously reported, was not prepared to spend money on repairs, and, as the Medical Officer bad slated that they were unfit for habitation, the cammittee recommended that eloping orders be made in respect of the whole of the four houses. Mr Tom Morgan disagreed with the state- ment of the Medical Officer and contended that the houses would compare favourably with many that had been passed by the Sani- tary Committee. The cottages were in a good state of repair as far as the fabric was con- cerned, but the drainage was, of coarse, not ap to date nevertheless the houses were tenant- able. It was very inconsistent for them to say that the country was being depopulated, and at the same time to close houses which were better than they would find in many places. (Hear, bear.) It was all very well for them to go by the letter of the law; there was the spirit of the law to be observed as well. Mr Pritchsrd, the sauitary inspector, said the Sanitary Committee had no desire to close the bonacs, bat for the last 18 months they had endeavoured to get the owner to do what was absolutely necessary. They wanted proper drains there and they wanted the houses ventilated and made dry. At the present time one privy did duty for five houses, and it was kept in a beastly state. He had every hope that if the order was passed there would be work in progress there in two months. Mr T. Morgan spoke strongly against closing the houses, but in view of what tbe Inspector bad said he wonlcs not farther object. Eventually it was unanimously deoided, on the motion of Mr A. A. Mitchell, seconded by Mr F. G. Dickinson, to make a closing order. Closing orders were also made in respect of a cottage near Abar, Talybont, and a house at Llanfrynacb, the order ic th^ case of the latter hoase being suspended for a month. WAGES OF THE ROADMEN. The two road surveyors presented their reports on the question of grading the work- men employed by the Council in regard to tbe question of an increase of wage?. Mr J. F. Ricketts was in favour of refasing to increase the wages of the roadmen there were plenty of men who would be willing to accept the work at 18s a week. The Chairman said the Council decided at the last meeting to increase the wages of the deserving men to £1 a week, and that decision could not be rescinded for six months. Rev. T. C. Richards proposed and Rev. A. E. Evans seconded thai the report presented by the surveyors be accepted. Mr John Jones proposer] that the matter be referred to the General Purposes Committee, and Mr Dickinson seconded. Mr Tom Morgan asked what basis bad been adopted by the surveyor in grading the men. It appeared to him that they knew more about the men than the surveyors did. On a vote being taken it was decided by 17 votes to seven that the question of grading the men be referred to the General Purposes Com- mittee. In Mr Joseph's district 16 men were recom- mended far in, 8 for 19s, and 5 for 18s. In Mr Williams' district 13 men were recommended for £1, 12 for 19s, sad 10 for 18s ami uader.

The New Vicar of Builth. The Rev. Sydney H. Wenham, who has been appointed vicar of Buiisn and Llandewi'r-Cwaa, is in Lh,,i prime of life, being 39 years of age, and has done remarkably good work einoe he W!><1 ordains i in 1904. He received his edu- cafr-n at Dolwich and the London Collega of Divinity (University of Lotidon), and his first curacy was that of S. Michael and All Angels, Stonebridge P-trk, London. He also became ene of the Scripture examiners for the Willes- den Education Committee. After a very successful career in this important centre, be was appointed oarate-in-chargo of S. Gabriel, Hanley Castle, Woroester, where be labonred for three years with great success, and for the past four and a half years he baa held the appointment of curato-in charge of All Saints, The Wyche, Great Malvern, and has also acted as chaplain to the Walls Home Boys' School, 1st Malvern Troop of Boy Scouts, and to the Royal Lodge of Freemasons. He has made himself popalar among all classes of the community, and his advent to the Wye Valley will be hailed by all Churchpeople with great satisfaction. Brecon Board of Guardians. Mr Owen Price presided over the fortnightly meeting of the Brecon Board of Guardians, held on Friday morning last. Others present were:-Mism Adelaide Williams, Miss Philip Morgan, the Revs. Thos. Griffiths, T C Richards, and H J Church Jones, Messrs E T Hyde, Jenkiv Williams, John Joues (Llanfihan- gel-nantbran), David Watkins, Wm. Morgan, Wm. Parry, John Price, G P Jones, T R Williams, Rees Williams, A A Mitchell, F G Dickinson, Tom Morgan, J F Ricketts, Edgar Morgan, John Jones (Llandefalle), James Edwards, Thomas Powell, John Phillips, D Thomas, Dd. Davies, Daniel Phillips, Thomas Daniels, C W Best, with the clerk Mr Molyneux F Thomas, and other officials. VAGRANTS AND INMATES. The total number of vagrants relieved dur- ing the last fortnight at the workhouse and lodging houses was 130, being an increase of 20 aa compared with the corresponding period of laet year. Aooording to the master's report, at the end of the fortnight there were 64 persons in the bonso, being a decrease of 2 as compared with the same period last year. SAVING ON COAL. The Clerk reported that the cost of the weighbridge fixed at the Workhouse was je60 lis. lOd. Miss Morgan said that during the year ended at Michaelmas, they had saved 36 tons of coal at the Workhouse as compared with the previous year, and this represented X45 odd. The weighbridge bad only been in use for six months, and she thought that was a very satis- factory saving. The average consumption of coal at the House tor the last three years was —1911, 141 tons, 1912, 142 tons, 1913, 106 tons. She bad urged the Board for the last IS years to erect a weighbridge. She complimented Mr Long, the matter, on the econominical manner he ba-I managed the workhouse, and said the Board had not treated his predecessor fairly in not giving him a weighbridge. Mr Beat asked the master whether be found ar;y discrepancy between tha weigh check and the weight. Mr Long No, never ou the short side. In reply to Mr Tom Morgan, the master said the fires at the house bad not been reduced in any way. AN EXPLANATION. We are asked on behalf of Miss Morgan to state that an examination of figures since the meeting proves that 26 tonfc of the saving in coal took place in the half-year before the weighbridge cume into use, and this fact, combined with other indications, appears to show that the great saving in coal oonaumption is principally, if not entirely, due to improved methods of managing the fuel at the work- house as devised and carried out by the present master. Mr Long, to whow great credit ia due. We understand that Mr C W Best, who has always shewn a deep interest in this question of coal conpnmjpiion, and is a member of the Coal Committee, concurs in this view, and it ts a point of legitimate satisfaction to note that thtroby all allegations or insinuations against coal contractors or their carters of wilfully supplying or delivering short weight are shown to be without fenndation. It is a point of further interest to note that considerably mere than half the saving waa in respect of the fuel used tor cookiag, etc. Part of the remainder is doubtless due to th favourable weather conditions of the past winter and summer. We are also informed that t'be comforts of the inmates have not been curtailed iu any way.

--Fraud and Hypocrisy.
Fraud and Hypocrisy. The fraud which the Government are seeking to impose upon the country as the result of their bargain with the Irish Nationalists and the hypocrisy of that "unholy alliance" were never more clearly shown than in the speeches which Mr Robinson, M.P., and Mr John, M.P., made to a modest gathering of Liberals at Brecon last week. It fell to Mr Robinson, by the exercise of the useful art of suppression of facts, to expose the fraud; and to Mr John, by making ad- missions to bolster up a case for a Welsh Parliament, to expose the hypocrisy. Mr Robinson claimed that Home Rule was sanctioned by the electorate at the last general election, and proved this to his own satisfaction by quotations from speeches by Unionist leaders warning the country that Home Rule would follow the Parliament Act. But the result of that election must be judged not by what was said by the Opposition, who were not succesful, but by what was said by the Government, who were succesful, or at any rate partially successful. On this important.aspect of the case, Mr Robin- son was silent, except in so far as his own past speeches were concerned. And there was good reason for his silence. It was not until the course of the election made it clear that the Liberal Party would not be able to hold office without the aid of the Nationalists that Mr Asquith gave any prominence to Home Rule, and finally threw over his old declaration that the Liberals ought not to touch the question unless they had an independent majority. And did not Mr Birrell tell the Bristol electors, in effect, if not in so many words, that the Irish question was one to be specially decided by the people ? Again, in his treatment of Lord Lore- burn's conference proposal, Mr Robinson passed over important facts. He sug- gested that it was the duty of the "other side" to make proposals, and he was pathetically reticent about Lord Lore- burn and his arguments. It becomes necessary to point out, therefore, that if the Government have the authority for their Irish policy which their faithful Breconshire follower claims, there would be no justification for the ex-Lord Chancellor's proposal, and that it wuld be a farce to liat,e a conference if it did not lead to a modification of that policy. Lord Loreburn is an avowed Home Ruler and an able statesman. He was in the closest counsels of the Government at the time of the last election, and we prefer his authority on the mandate business to that of the member for Breconshire. If his lordship believes as firmly in the mandate as Mr Robinson, how could he make a suggestion which, if it bore fruit, would stultify the decision of the electorate ? The mandate gone by the board, and the attitude of Ulster being what it has always been, it also follows that it is not for the "other side" to make proposals, but for the Govern- ment to make an offer, and Mr Winston Churchill's olive branch, which was ex- tended at a rather awkward moment for Mr Robinson, shows that they would be only too glad to relieve themselves of the terrible responsibility of Ireland on the verge of civil war if they could screw up their courage to the point of refusing to obey Mr Redmond's order to go full steam ahead into the harbour. How Mr John made bare the hypo- crisy of his party's alliance with the Nationalists can be told in a few words. Assuming Home Rule given effect, he put it, there would be left in the House of Commons a strong group of National- ists who would not be so "docile"—that is, willing to scratch the Welsh back in return for similar. service rendered-as the Home Rulers now at Westminster, who would be against the "Progressives" on education, and who would be suspect on Free Trade. We had thought until now that all these gentlemen regarded themselves as "Progressives," a happy band of brothers with practically the same advanced ideas. Mr John has un- deceived us, and has established for us the ugly fact that the Welsh Radical members are fully alive to the iniquity of the bargain to which they are a party. With the Welsh M.P.'s support of Home Rule is a means to an end. The Church in Wales is to be robbed of its endow- ments with the help of the Nationalists, who would not move a finger to forward the robbery without their price, and who are opposed to other aims of Messrs John, Robinson, & Co., on the latter's own showing. In return the weight of Welsh political Nonconformity is thrown into the unjust scale against the Protes- tants of Ulster

Reprinted ftorn the" Motor News" June 7th, 1913 :— FROM time to time I have heard doubt expressed as to whether the air-cooled engine fitted to the Humberette will overheat on long mountain passes. It may interest our readers to know that last Satur- day I climbed to the top of the Featherbed Mountain via Glendhu without any sign of heating what- ever. I called a halt at Glendhu Bridge and lifted the bonnet, and found that water dropped on the cylinder head only fizzled and did not flash into steam, as would happen if the engine were over- heated. This particular section of the climb is very trying. On very many occasions I have overheated here when driving cars with water- cooled engines, and I know many motorists who have had a similar experience. It is due to the length and severity of the climb and the sheltered nature of the valley. On the descent from the top of the Featherbed to Glencree I was greatly surprised at the smoothness with which the Humberette ran over the atrocious surface. I travelled faster than I ever did before over this sec- tion and with more comfort. The little car seemed to take the bumps and hollows softly and smoothly, the springing certainly being excellent."

The Chief Corrective This is a title which may be applied with- out exaggeration to the celebrated specific-Beecham's Pills. So very try- ing to the average constitution is the strenuous character of modern life, that one becomes increasingly liable to get "run down." Such a condition of lowered vitality is fraught with considerable danger to health, for the bodily system is less able to withstand the attacks of disease. Beecham's Pills are an excellent medicine for modern times. They suit our requirements. They meet our needs. Their gentle, yet thorough influence as an aperient speedily stimulates the liver to healthy activity, and their excellent tonic properties strengthen the stomach ia a marked degree. Such distressing ail- ments as biliousness, constipation flatu lence, indigestion and headache- dications that the health is below the normal-are quickly dispelled and the return to a more vigorous state is estab- lished. Beecham's Pills are prepared with the most scrupulous care from in- gredients of vegetable origin having great curative value, and they cannot fail to prove beneficial to all who use them, if the directions are fol lowed. Be- yond all doubt, the medicine for modern times, and for giving tone and vim to the svstem is BEECHAM'S PII1S. Sold everywhere in boxes price i/i j (56 pills) & 2/9 (168 pills)
