WELSH PRESBYTERIANS. I QUARTERLY ASSOCIATION MEETINGS AT ABERGAVENNY. I On Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday the Calvinistic Methodist Connexion held theif j South Wales Quarterly Association meetings at Abergavenny, under the chairmanship oi the Moderator, the Rev. Wm. Lewis (Cwmpark). There were about 55 delegates in all from the various counties in South Wales, and-the mem- bers of the local Presbyterian Church and friends had done all they could for their convenience and comfort during their stay at Abergavenny. The business meetings were held at the Presby- terian Church and services were also held here and at the Frogmore-street Baptist and Bethany Baptist Churches. Among the preachers were such well-known leaders as the Rev. R. J. Rees, M.A., Aberystwyth, Rev. Peter Hughes Griffiths, London, and the Rev. J. Cynddylan Jones, D.D., Cardiff. On Wednesday the Mayor (Aid. Z. Wheatley) attended to extend a civic welcome to the delegates. A deputation from the Abergavenny Free Church Council, consisting -of the Rev. Gwilym Davies, M.A., Mr. Edwin Foster, and Mr. W. Jacobs, also attended to welcome them. A Purity Campaign. I Among the subjects discussed by the General Committee on Wednesday was the question of purity, and a resolution was passed calling upon the Government and the military authorities to follow the example of the American Government in putting all tolerated houses of debauchery out of bounds for British troops, and protesting against any attempt to re-introduce the Con- tagious Diseases-Act. The following resolution was also carried :— That this Association desires most earnestly to call the attention of all churches to the urgent need of doing all in their power to bring home to the people, and more especially to the young people, the priceless advantages of leading a chaste and clean life, and that our churches be tirged, in conjunction, if possible, with other churches in the neighbourhood, to invite, where practicable, a medical practitioner to speak at a meeting specially convened for the purpose." It was also suggested that the sexes should be addressed separately and that the female sex should be addressed by a competent lady doctor. At the close of the business meeting a hearty vote of thanks was accorded the local friends for the excellent arrangements made for the dele- gates, and special reference was made in this connection to the Rev. J. P. Millward, Mr. P. Telford (local secretary), and Mr. Harrison {local treasurer). ———— ♦ —
