ST. PAUL'S CHURCH COLWYN BAY.
ST. PAUL'S CHURCH COLWYN BAY. FOUNDATION-STONE OF NEW TOWER LAID BY MR J. BROCK. VICAR RELATES OF CHURCH PROGRESS. In St. Paul's, Colwyn Bay has one of the finest modern church braidings in North Wales, but the absence of the tower provided in the ori- ginal design has detracted considerably from its external appearance despite its delightful situa- tion and grounds. Like its local governors, the Church workers of Colwyn Bay have been so severely taxed in keeping level with the ordi- nary demands of its rapidly-increasing resident and floating population that they have been com- pelled to forego many schemes in order w pro- vide others more absolutely cssentiaL Thus while most people realised the desirability of completing the splendid Parish Church the cry for new churches, mission and other necessary buildings was more insistent. Hence the delay in connection with St. Paul's Church tower. Happily this work has at length been taken in hand, and in due course the town will be in pos- sesion of what promises to be the loftiest church tower in North Wales, with a peal of bells and a four-faoed clock- The contract is for £3400, but that figure does not include the cost of the clock, the beils, nor the architect's fees. To- wards meeting the bill there is already in hsnd over £1000, and other subscriptions have been promised amounting to about E400. The fiHzndatiaa-cfcaBe of the new tower was laid on Thursday afternoon by Mr John Brook, of G wcrn Tyno, the senior member of the church. Unfortunately the weather proved un- favourable, and the attendance at the church was somewhat small, though fully representative of all creeds and sects throughout the town and district. As the harvest festival was celebrated in the evening the church was chastely decorated with flowers, plants, corn, and fruit, some hun- dreds of cactus dahlias being used with charm- ilig effect in the Sower decoration scheme. ST. PAUL'S CHUECH, COLWYN BAY, SHOWING THE NEW TOWER. | i i Canon Hugh Roberts (tho vicar) conducted the special service in the church, and he was assisted by the Rev. E. James Evans, vicar of Llandriiio; and the Rev. Rees Mo/ris. "0 God our help in ages past" and "Wo love the place, 0 God" were the hymns sung, Dr. Venables Williams presiding at the organ. THE VICAR ON CHURCH PROGRESS. Canci Roberts, who delivered his address from the paipit, said he stood in the pulpit not to preach a sermon, but because it was the most suitable place from which he could make a state- ment to the congregation. It was very unfor- tunate that the rain was coming down so very heavily just before the time of the service; it was not only disappointing, but it resulted in a considerable 1(1:S financially. Nevertheless, the building committee were very much encouraged by seeing so large a number present under the circumstances, and particularly by the sympathy and co-opsration of the people. He saw before him not only Churchpoople, but many neighbours and friends from the surrounding districts, and their attendance on such an occasion and in such weather was particularly gratifying. He was also pleased to see w many Nonconformist friends present. While standing near the tower site on the previous day a Nonconformist came across the road to him and said, "1 shall be glad to give you S5 towards ftiis work." He had roceived several letters also from Nonconformists and one of them, which Was typical of all the others, read: "I have great pleasure in enclos- ing my cheques for a donation towards the grand work you have had the pluck to undertake. It will be a riedit to Colwyn Bay for generations to come." Such messages and subscriptions were most enccuraging. Of course, the tower when complete would be an ornament to Colwyn Bay as well as to ihe church. But when he told them that that was the twelfth building which he had had something to do with in erecting they would not be surprised to hear that he did not much relish starting on so big an undertaking as that. However, he embarked upon it simply from a sense of duty, for that fine church had been designed with a tower, and it looked un- finished and deformed standing upon its fine elevation in the centre of their beautiful town without itfa tower. It woald have been a reflec- tion upon them, especially as Churchpcople, if they had failed to complete the undertaking, and many had been already crying shame upon them because nothing in that direction had been pre- viously done. However, they had not been idle meanwhile. There were other pressing needs in their new town; the Churchpeople of Colwyn Bay bad had their energies and resources taxed very severely to try and provide ae4commodatioi to meet the requirements of Church visitors and residents. There were some living to-day who remembered the time when THERE WAS NO COLWYN BAY at all practically. He well recollected a friend saying when he (the Vicar) was offered the liv- ing "I was present at the very first Church ser- vice ever held in Colwyn Bay, and that was in a carpenter's shop in hycqt." And that was not so long ago. The Cbwch started there in a very small way. St. Paul's was started. in 1887, some 22 or 23 years ago, and he found that the ten foundation-stones laid on June 8th, 1887 were placed one under each of the pillars by the late Bishop Hughes of St. Aasaph, Mrs Venables Williams (mother of Dr. Venables Wil- liams), Miss Barlow, the late Mrs Porter, Mrs Earp, Mrs Bostock, Mrs Crump, Mr Frost, Mrs J. M. Porter, and Miss Johns respectively. Then came tho Missloia Room, whose foundation- stones were laid by the late Mrs RaddifTe and Ll her niece, Miss Keene. During the following year the Vicarage and Church Room were built, the foundation-stones being laid by the then Mrs Haworth and the late Mrs Cos well. The Welsh Church, St. David's, was built in 1902, the late Rev. J. G. Haworth laying the foundation-etone. In 1908 St. Andrew's Church was built, Mrs Gamble laying the foundation-stone. To-day the foundation-stone of the church tower was to be laid by Mr John Brock, the senior member ot the church, who naturally took his place in that connection not only on account of his seniority, but in every other way. So that to-day they had three churches with a Vicarage and a Church Room in the town. On an occasion such as that they should perhaps recall the names of some of those who had helped them, but who had now gone to their reward. He was not in the town when the great work was started, and therefore did not know the names of all. but he found on record the names of the late Mr James Wood, who helped very much in building the first church. The nave was built under the incum- bency of his (the Vicar's) predecessor (Rev. W. Venables Williams) who was assisted by the churchwardens, the late Mr Allen, and Mr John Porter and other3. They should also bear tribute to the memory of the late Mrs Frost, who then lived in the parish, but subsequently built the very fine church at Brynymaen, endowed it, and also built a Vicarage and Church Room, Bryny- maen being subsequently converted into a parish of its own. With reference to the work now on hand he need not go into details, but the con- tract was for "00, though the cost would be more when tho work was completed, because in that sum they did not include the cost of the bells, clock or the aromteet's leea. The Rev. Thomas Parry had pointed out to him that the committee's statement did not include the clock. Neither did the statement include the architect's fees, and so sore as they must provide for the architect's fees so MUST THEY PROVIDE FOR THE CLOCK. The children would almost provide the clock, for they were hoping to have that day a large sum of money collected by the children. They would have a clock with a face on each of the four sides of the tower, and which would be illumi- nated at night. The sum in hand towards the whole bill was about EIOOO, being also about E400 promised. There was no time to speak of the many individuals who had been particularly kind with their contributions, but he must refer to the help of one from outside the parish, namely, Mr Raynes, of Llysfaen, who was giv- ing all the lime necessary for the new building. They were very fortunate in their officers on the building committee, including the Chairman (Mr Edward Allen), the Vice-Chairman (Mr J. M. Porter), the Hon. Treasurer (Mr Cairns), the Hon. Secretary (Mr W. Jones, N.P. Bank), and the Churchwarden (Mr Groom). They were also exceedingly lucky in having Mr Brock to lay the foundation-stone, for those who knew him and others by simply looking at him would come to the ooacfamon that bow that a start had been made they would not Be short of substantial help to puslnng tilings forward to a successful issue. The Vicar concluded with a warm appeal for financial support, and remarked that he had hoped to obtain EIOO at the collection that after- noon. Finally, he urged that whatever was done they should do it for God's glory as an expres- sion of their sense of honour towards God Almighty. A small army of children then filed up decor- ously before the choir rails to deposit in a huge wicker hamper the boxes containing their col- lections towards the building fund. A special collection was also made while a hymn was sung. Led by the clergy and the surpliced choir the congregation then repaired to the new tower site for the formal ceremony. Mr Walter Groom (one of the Churchwardens), in the course of a neat little speech, introduced Mr John Brock, who was presented with a sil- ver trowel on behalf of the architect (Mr John Douglas, Chester), and a mallet on behalf of the contractors (Messrs H. A. Clegg and Sorw, Chester). Mr Brock formally plied the handsome took, saying: "In the faith of Jesus Christ we place this loundation-stone, in the name of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost. Amell. Mil BROCK'S HUMOROUS ADDRESS. Addressing the assembly, Mr Brock expressed his sense of the honour, which he felt had been conferred upon him in asking him to perform that ceremony, lie was well aware that it had been the cherished desire of very many of those present, and of many others not present, to see the day when that tower was built, and so see the fabric of their line church complete. He was glad so many of them had lived to see the laying of the foundation-stone, and he hoped the response to the committee's appeal would be sucii that the building would be carried through to its completion without a break. Some of them might feel that they had a little money to spare, and that it was becoming a burden to them (laughter). If that feeling did arise his exper- ience of the clergy was that they were very ready with their sympathy and help to relief them of their trouble—(laughter),—and he had sufficient respect for Canon Roberts to feel sure he would be glad to relieve anyone thus burdened "c4' 1 on application to him (renewed laughter). A few weeks ago an old clerical friend wrote ask- ing him to send a donation towards some ob- I ject whose success his friend had very much at heart. I sent him a small donation, said Mr Brock, and I happened to remark in my letter, "What beggars you clergy arc?" (laughter). I got his reply on a postcard a day or so later: 'The beggar died, and was carried by the angels unto Abraham's bosom.' I am qualify- ing" (laughter). I hope you are all qualifying to-day (laughter). I thank you all very sincerely for asking me to lay this foundation-stone. The ceremony terminated with the Benedic- tion pronounced by the Vicar. Rev. Canon Fletcher, Wrexham, was the special preacher at the harvest festival service in the evening, when there was a very large congregation. HIGHEST TOWER ON THE COAST. A short description of the tower may be of interest. Rasing to a height of about 86 feet above the church floor level it will be a com- manding object from almost all parts of Colwyn Bay. It is 24ft square at the base, with massive buttresses at each corner, projecting 6 feet and 4 feet wide. The lower part forms a spacious and dignified porch to the north-west entrance. Above this is a class room with ringing room, clock space and belfry of a size sufficient for a peal of 12 bells, in successive stages. The clock will have an illuminated dial on each face, whioh in itself will be a great boon to the residents. Like the church, it is being built of Llysfaen limestone with red Runcorn stone dressings, and the "early decorated" style of architecture is in complete harmony with the rest of the church. When completed, about July, 1911, it will not only bo a monument to the Yeal of the Church- people of Cohvyn Bay, but the highest and most dignified tower on the North Wales coast. The silver trowel, presented by Mr Frank Wailey (who supervises the work for the archi- tect) on behalf of Mr John Douglas, Chester, the architect, bore the following inscription: "Presented to John Brock, Esq., J.P., on the occasion of his laying the foundation-stone of the tower to the Church of St. Paul, Colwyn Bay, September 29th, 1910." The mallet, given by Messrs H. A. Clegg and Sons, bore a simi- lar inscription.

A FINE FOOD FOR THE EARLY RISER. The long foodless hours in some trades need to be speci.ally considered, and their bad effects guarded against. This is particularly true of those who rise early and perhaps have a journey to make to their work. Thu hurried breakfast of the early worker is often the source of serious ill-health. The human body must have sufficient fool—lack of nourishment lowers the vitality and lays one open to tho attack of disease. The bulk of the food taken ia not of great consequence; what matters is the amount 01 real nourishment contained therein. Those who drink the great food-beverage, Vi-Cocoa, have the full benefit of the most wonderful restorative in the world. Because of the ingredient which it con- tains, the stimulating and nourishing effects of Vi-Cocoa are felt for hours, and leave no re- action behind. Try a sixpenny packet-test for yourself the great strength-giving powers of Vi-Cocoa. Do not ask your grocer for "cocoa"—ask for ltfIéocoa -it makes all the different. Every grocer sells Vi-Cocoa in 6d packets and leI and la 6d iiu"

LONG HOUR8.At the District Council meeting, on Tuesday, Mr WTm. Rovvlauds, 1, A^na-terrace, appned for a fortnight's bolklay in- stead ot a week, addi-ng he 'beiieved he was en- titled to them as he worked from 4 a.m. until dark at the Victoria Gardecs. Ho did not do thu for pleasure, because is was neoeisary to cut the grata before the players made their ap- pearance. The application was immediately graiited. POLlCE COURT.-At Bangor Petty Sessions, on Tuesday, Thonias Davies, Pantyrhedyn, was araed 5s and costs for being drunk in Station- f° It was sajd that he had not been up be- foie the Bench for 14 days. THE NATIONAL SCHOOLS. At last week's meeting of the Carnarvonshire Education Committee, H.M. Inspector, piesented the foiiovvipg report on the Llanf airiechan Cburcii Schools: Boys. I has is an exceedingly well- conducted scnool. The- sc^iolAre ara pu in their attendanoe, and in regularity of asttt&d&noe. The school has an exoeilent record, having been the highest in this respect in the i4angor dis- trict for six years in auecoKion. Tlie inetructioai generally is marked by thoroughness and intelli- gence. In the reading lewoi-m the children. are eneou-raged to read by theiMe-.v^ with gra.tify- ing reeults. The composition exercascj are largely baaed on the oral ksasena in geoga^a^ihy, histOTy and Nature study. In aniiimetiic proobloeme are worked in every class. The sing- ing is of rare excellence: voice-training exercises are given eyatentafeicaiJy throughout the school, wiitih the ti»a.t the boys sing with *tsaa"ked purity uf tone, and are able to reach very high noteo (A and B) with ease. Difliouife purtlg)MW ane very pleasBngiy rendered. The onieiantfing feature of the scnooi is tiie thoroughness of the teaching of the phyacal cxcrciaes; ttle trailing given cannot fail to improve the physical fitness of the boys. Organised games axe piayed ooca- sionaily on the eea^ore under the swpwriaiend- enee of the teachers. I am glad to know that doe attention is paid to nature study; but more f rambleG by the sohoWa in a. disti-ict which h so full of oliaml in its mcxmtaira, and is so fuJI of geographical and historical interests would not fail to stmaofeute their intefttgenoe. Since the last report was sent the protases have been improved by the erection of an additional glazed partition, there being now four rooms for the five groups of rahotars. New desks arre needed, especially for the Standard I. ahcoL ars who have to desks which are quite un- suitable for them. Th esehool walls need bright- ening by gocd pictures, and a better supply of ooKtinuous readers (in English and in Welsh) is needed. _1_- Girls.-It is seldom that one sees girls so clean and bright and so well-behaved as those in this school. The head nnstreas haa an exeeecfetgly gcod influence over her scholars, who are well prepaamd for their work in life. The scheme of work, whioh now inckidets lessons in domestic eooncmy and in practical cookery, has bcocn pre- pared with due regard to the needs of the scholars, and the instruction is careful and suc- cessful. A special feature (which is one cause of the exemplary conduct of the scholars) is the distribution of large certificates to the pupils who are leaving school, with a detailed report on their good conduct and industry. Same pie- turei, a school library and some dual desks are wanted. Infants. This ia a very sueoeasful infants' school. The lessons are skkiliuUy arranged, due care being taken to psuvzefee work of a light and reoreatrve charaotor in thei alftetrnoon. The acholara are making1 exoeilent progress. The equipment of the soibool has been greatly ini- proved during the past year by the addition of a rooking-hospo, a swing, and some excellent pictures. Many the desks in use are most un- suitable far miante. Abbeation hae been cafled to them in pievaooy reports, and they ought to bo reqlaoedirp Kindergarten desks or tables. It woiid^ be a ^oon sf a piano were provided in- ) stead of the harmonium. The light is not good in joim parts of the school, ajid it should be im- "0 proved by placing clear gbss in somo of th4 panes which now have obscure glass. "The lighting of the infants' schtol should be improved as yxwin-niertl-d by H.M. Inspector, and the equipment, e?peeaally as regards desks for Stan- dard I. and infante, should receive prompt at- tention." COUNCIL SCHOOL.

When, tho ochooi was V16. i2A&I. yeax, the -aruainDoMa of the majority of the asboiara were kiucsi beioW the average. Tiie disabkyiieofc cl the headmaafcer by a oornmks ¿.c.iJ..eDt, and. Uie inaxpe;cl of ilia male aasisianU, in practical teaching, have helped to delay the establishment of a satisfac- tory ^wsdard of efliesetiey JIl tiie work. In geDe- rai good pfogivos has been made by the .head- own claes (Standaxds VI. and VII.), and by dd 1., 111., eepeeaaiiy in tkear oral work; but the attainments of meat of Uhe schol- ars in Standards IV. and V. suggest the adviBa- bihty of a judscioua reoiaesiifoataoa. at the cotn- mejauement of ne«t educa £ ion»ai yc*r. Mr Da- vies, who is at present in charge ef this olaffl, making a vigorous ea!o<rt to im^Movae the general quality of too work. It ? reooaunonded that an easier -,oograiiiimi reader should bo used by the pupila in this osaas, and that exenciaes in groatost cerampn mea- sures and fractious should be djaconimtied until more elementary rules in aoAeketie have been tsioroughly revised.

A school Mferary wovbl heup to encourage home readinjr in tDe u standards, and a supply of wall plctme would greatly add to the attrairtzvetices of thd pre. Organised games are occasionally played by the boys under the supervision of the teachers. It is to be hoped that Krraag e will soon be made for pupilg to receive regular lessons in swimming during the summer mootte- InfamW Div-i-.ion.Ciay-niodeling and kindsr- gaaien exercises aire well e, and the in the first dims show marked proficiency in num- her lessons. Owing to various reasons progress in We-ish reading Ijss been slow, and the pupils will be unequal to the usual work oi Standiard 1. in this subject. Fairy tales and acting games afford a pleasarkt change from leeecms of & inoxe formal character. The teachers take gneat paiaa over aJl their work, and will, doubtless, suo- ceed in making the irimrucuon nwee uniformly aatitjfactory in the course of another year. MUOU of the work is wisely done out of doors during the -,varri weather.
