AN ECHO OF THE XONCONFORMIST PROT-EST.The Rev. J. D. Jones, M.A., at the beginning of his sermon on Sunday even- ing at St. James' Church, referred to the death of Aldwman Edward Jones. He said that Mr Jones was a Nonconformist who occa- sionally attended the Welsh services at the Cathedral. lie had won the confidence and respect of the citizens of Bangor, having been on the Council from the very beginning al- most without a break. He was a quiet man who made no pretensions to oratorical power, but he was a man of sound business capacity. I He wag one of many Nonconformists who felt a great deal of sympathy with the Church in Wales owing to the attacks made so per- sistently on her by those who should have been engnged alongside of her in good works. He was moreover one of the few who had the moral courage to come forward and make his sympathy known to the world by organising the Nonconformist protest in Bangor diocese. The Vicar said that a courageous attitude of that kind ought not to pass unnoticed. DAMAGE TO THE PIER.-Thc Wy eeas running in the Memai Straits on Saturday morn, ing, swept away the temporary gangway across the gap caused by the Christiana," crashing into the structure some months ago. This tern. porary g-amgwaw bias taken many weeks to oon- struct, and was almost completed, but the heavy seas and high tide &wept it away in a few hours. Most of vhe timber was recovered, and was safe- ly fastened to the wall between the pier and the "Ja Ja" jetty, but some portions got adrift. With the object of reoweori n-g these Captain O???'n, tJb) pifnna?tcr, aet out in the Mona," which waa lying a.!<M?gSK? the old stone jetty. Directly ah? was free of the j?tty the steamer was bloirn at a. terrihe speed under the pier not far from the dam-aged portion. She seemed to be at the mercy of the tempestuous wind, and nvght easily have capsized, but Captain Owen, with the aatM-tance of the men aboard, managed to get her free without the slightest dame# and she was able to go in search of the missing baulks, some of which had drifted in the direction of Meaifti Bridge.

The Vicar of Pemir (Rev. Herbert Jones) presided. The Scripture report by the Dio-ctisan Inspector (Rev. D. J. Joiie<) M&s read, and the Vi-cr con- gratulated bhe staff and scholars upon it. The report is as foiiows: "The work done in too sciiooi deserves the highest couaiiendation. Too subjects ipecihcd in tho Diocesan Sytlabus liad been adopr.ed L>y each of the tnreo gioups into which the school 19 divided. The chixiren :n each of the groups had acquired a dietail^d and accurate knowledge of the prescri bed periods of Old a.nd New Te6tamci»t history, but ttiey never gave one the impression of having undergone a oourse of meelrarnoal eranizniiix,, for the examina- tion. Moral lessons had been drawn from t.he vafioua histoi'ica-l incidents (whenever possible), ajid the children in tho higher classes acquitted t.hemselvea very wel-l in this part of the-ix work. The Church Catechifiin had been carefully com- mitted to memory by the pupil*, and the enunci- ation of even the very young children (Infants and Standards I. and IlJ was particularly dis- tinct. Great care had aiso been takén. by the teachers to pronounce and explain all difficult or unfamiliar terms. Singing and repetition had ro- ceived adequate attention, and the children per- formed the required cxerels(Ns very weil. Verj satisfactory work was aiso presc-ned by sevoraj pupils in Group III. in Church History." Fifty-one certificates were presented, and special certificates were awarded to Violet Jones, Blodwen.Roberts, Owen John Buckley, Kate Thomas, Jennie Roberts, Idwal -Roberts, and Clarice Pierce.

I I A good naimber of the general public as well as some 200 members of the University College Officers' Training Corps and Normal Go liege students, and a number of officers frorp the vari- ous battalions of troops stationed in the North Wales district, attended a Jeùuro, given at the University Cciifjeg^e, last Friday evening, by Mr H. Spencer Wilkinson, profetsor OIf military his- tory in the University of Oxford, on "Tlie Strategy cf the Great War." Principal S'r Harry Reichei presided, and was accompanied by Generail Sir Henry Mackinmicn, Western Com- mand. Professor Spencer Wilkinson said thait in spite of the cliaogo in the conditions under which war was wcged, there were some elements in ts con- duct wh.ch did not change. The chief causes of suoceos were—first, tho superior fighting quality cf the units of an army as compared with its opponents. He would like to bring it home to their minda that they of the O.T.C. were really out to make their units better fighting units than the German un.:ts of the same siae. If they did not do that how did they expeat to beat the Ger- mans. The second element of success in war was superior numbers. Thia waa very important pro. vid-ed the numbers were good enough. Superior numbers of untrained men wouki be scattered like chaff by a smaller number of trained men. In the present war, for which Germ-iny had been preparing for many years, and which was sprung as a surprise upon aJI other nationalities except Austria, the Germans were able to begin with a great superiority in numbers. It would now be the business of the Allies to outmatch them in numbers, and in this respect all who had joined were doing their share. The third element of superiority in war was the element of superior planning and superior dispositions which was called generalship. Reverting to the question of superior value of units, Professor Wilkinson said he was going to tell them something to encourage them. Ho thought the element of generalship would be all right in this country, but if that generalship was to have the right instruments all must do thc::r work. There wore many elements of strength in the country besides rifles, officers, and drill- in.g, and OD3 cf the greatest elements of our national strength woo due to the new universi- ties grown up in their lifetime, tie himself wue a pupil of one of t'h&?e new u-nivcraties. The ef?x't on the inteUigen{)J. the will, and the spirit of our people of those universities had been en- ormous, was increasing, and at the present mo- ment it was a very remarkable thing that the universities were doing perhaips more than any otfher element in the population to help the nation in the fight for the eig-ht by the men they were turning out and training (applause). Mr T. S. Carr (president of the Students* Re- presentative Council) moved a vote of thanks to the lecturer, which was heartily- adopted. ORGAN RECITAL AT ST. MARY'S CHURCH. I Un a very generous scale was the programme submitted by Mr Francon Thomas, the orgamiet at St. Mary's Church on Tuesday mght, but it was as enjccjabie as it was loug. For so youthful a recitaiist tho programme presented not a lew technical difficulties, but he overcame them, and one outstanding feature of lirs playing waa his accuracy. A false note was very rarely struck. He also played! tue ac-ounipaii inunto to the soloa very siciluliy, and showed no little executi ve ability. His phrasing and express on, however, leave a little to be desired. Ono of the recitalist's best efforts was Lama re's Andiantino in D flat," wibaau was given with ail its grace and charm. Tho vocal side of bhe programme was welj sustained. Master Noel Price-Smith sang very sweetly MenidaLseoihn's mua&ve melody, 0, for the wings of a Dove" and How beautiful arc the feet," the former instead of her brother, who was indiispoeed. Master Erio Window rendered Handel's "I know that my Redeemer liveth," a raither ambitious eolo for a boy, but it was very effectively given. Mr Will Roberts' con- tribution was "It is enough," which was com. posed by Mendelssohn and not by Handel as the programme had it. This heae,scemliing solo I%rr Roberts &%w with just the right tender ex. pression. Mr Felix Davi es gave the recit. "Thus saith the Lord" 0.00 the a» r But who may abide" from the "Messiah" in truo Handehaa- manner the vivacious movement in the solo booing very e IId v le. The Etajglidh and We.dh cilioirs gave the "Halleiujah Chorus" with splendid effect. The recital showed that the high musioail traditions of St. Mary's Church are being fully maintained under the regime of the present Vioar. The following waa the programme:—Melody in F (Rubinstein); eolo, "0, for tho wing's of a Doye" (Mendelssohn), Master D. Ppifcc Smith; War March of the P-riests (Mendelssohn's Athalio"); R/ussian march and hymn; solo, "How beautiful are the feet, etc." (Handel). Mas-tor Noel Prce-Smith; Andante in G (Batiste); oolo, "It is enough" (Mendelssohn's "Eiijaih"), Mr Will Roberta; military march; solo, "I kronv that my Redeemer liveth" (Han- del), Master Eric Window; kyrie from."

THE BIBLE SOCIETY. I MEETING OF BANGOR AUXILIARY. I The annual meeting cf the Bangor branch of tlie above Society was held in the Penrhyn Ha.11, the Mayor (Mr R. J. Williams), supported by a number of clergymen and Nancoatornust minis- ters, presiding. In opening the proceedings, the Mayor quoted Cwlyl-o a, having said that the most wonderfuJ invention of man rva.? the art of writing. ,\11 biiat science had "ir, done, add-ixi tn-e Mayor, had been done largely by the aid of writing aiisi printing. 'liis.t was particularly true in eonm-c- uou with 'tho work of tlie Bibie -Society. By means of tho twin arts of writing a.r.d printing the word of God had been made available toroutfa ali the world. A hundred years ¡¡,go it inignt with Uuth have been said of thij country m ro spect to spiritual matters tiiat darknejs covered WI-e earth. Es:peciaiiy was that t.rue of Wales. Tiia-t was before -t-lic tunc cf tho Sunday Schools, which hrst awakened a for education throughout Whiles. When the people began to know tlie word of God they became anxious to have copies of it, uud came long distjux>es to get copies from Charles o'r Ba,a. He tthe Mayor) oiaimed for Ohadcs o'r Bala the glory of having suggested the formation of a Society to supply a. cnc-ap edition of tho Bible for Wales. Tik&t- was m ia04. The idea was considered a good ona, and some added "if for Wales why not tor England, and if lor England why not for tho world?" And 00 tho British and Foreign Bible Society was fcundoU, aivd tho word of God traraa- lated mto 400 ditieient lanig-uagcs and dialects, and sold at as many emlimgs as it formerly coat po-uncia. Ho was tare if tho i»c-ople of Bangor i-eaiised liow much t'hey wer4c indebted to the Bible Society I.aoat hali would have beeu crowded. 'the eidli educational system waa ciue to tlhe Bible Society. It waa due to the Society that Sunday SiiLools and day schools, higher grade school and the. Wrel*sh University Colleges wore established, and he appealed for public support in a larger measure than over for such an excellent Society (applause). The Rev. R. W. iltignes, Park liill, presented the financial statement, according to which there was a balance in hand la:t year of JLI13 118 5d. This year's collection totalled £ 35 8s 4d; £ 18 was forwarded to the parent Society, and the allowances on the sale of books amounted to £2 14s 9d, leaving a credit balance of Jb23 4::1 6d. The Rev. A. W cl:1e.sley Jones, B.A., Chester, who attended as a deputation from the Parent Society, dwelt upon the growing influence of mis- sionaries in the East. He believed in the intel- lectual awakening of the East. He believed nickst seriously that the present calamity whioh had befallen the human race wai a warning to us that if we allowed tho East to develop materi- !.Œ'J'-a.nd the possibilities of these people and their iaiida were immense,—without "at the same tane leavening them with higher and nobler truths, we would have nothing but an awful repe- tition of th.3 present conflict. Was it likely that the thousands of young men from the East who wero being educated in this country would 1;0 back home and worship idols? What couid be better than to bring the Bible wit,hin their reach? He did not maintain that by placing the Word of God into their hands it would make Chirkti-ans of them, but when it did get into their hands it wou.d t-roato.a. totally new atmosphere favour- able to the development of tho noblest virtues. \Vhen the Ghurkag came over to Franco the Bibie Society w-a" able fo-r the first time to pre- sent them with copies of the Bibio entirely in their own language. Canon Davios (Dyfr.g) moved a resolution of thanks to tho ofifcors and collectors for paat ser- vices and hoping they would continue in office for another y-ear. He feared that the Bible did not secure that respect to wliich it was entitled. The Rev. Weilesiey Jonei had informed them that the Bible was taught in some schools in Ohina, and yet it; was excluded from son-io of our Welsh schools. That was not giving the Bible its proper place. The Rev. J. Arthur Jonoo, Penuel, briefly se- conded. In proposing a vote of thanks to the Mayor for pies>;dmg, tho Vicar (Rev. J. D. Jon-etsj said that t.-hero were many demands made on the Mayor's time, and that tho friends of tho Bible Society much appreciated his kindnesj in coming to help them. He appealed to the collectors to do their part, and thereby lessen the anxiety of the secre- tary (Rev. R. W. Hughes). He Baiù that he oould not promise increased activity amongst Cnurcninen on behalf of the Bible Society, as they looked to the immediate future with a feel- ing of considerable anxiety. lIe feared that all institutions entirely deputidf-nt upon annual con- tributions wouki feel the effects of the war very much in the course of tim-e. The Bibb Society- however had in its new orgartising secretary -a eloquent speaker who deserved to succeed.

BANGOR BOARD OF GUARDIANS I THE RATE UNALTERED. I INCREASING OBJECTIONS TO I VACCINATION. At to-day's meeting of the Guardians of tho Bangor and Beaumaris Union, the Rev. W. Mor- gan, who presided, reported upoa a mooting of the Central Conference of Poor Law Unions which he mid attended in London. He sc-id it was clear that the poor law situation would be changed under the war. There would be a number of pensioners, widows and children who would bo looking forward to maintenance from. the State on a mu-oh more liberal baiis than anything expended upon persons in the same cLroumsfcanots from the poor law. There seemed to be a general concensus of opinion at the Con- ference that the constitution and power of Guard- ians would be modified .after the war. A poor rate of 9id in tlie £ for the half-year was adopted, t,ho amount being the same a* for the corresponding period last year. The Clei-k reported that the number of abjec- tions to in Bangor, where 39 objections had been made from January t,o Jur.e Jiast It waa daoided to forward to th-e Local Govenu ment Beard a resolution vkiwiiug with alarm 000 increase in the number of cubjeolors.

BANGOR AMUSEMENTS I THE COUNTY THEATRE. I Bangor almost invariably extends a hearty wel- come to the pantomime loi-m of entertainment, ospeoiaiiy if it. Is bright and fresh. It is. there- fore, not surprising tnait Air J as. Kiddies' Panto- mime Company, who are presenting Cinderella and the Glass Si'pper," at the County Theatre, this week, should attract iaige auaiences. Humour is ghcn the riglub place in the pan- tomime^-that 1-9, at the foiefmiit-am-.d "t ena-blns one to forgot, ii only for a shorlj timo, the tra- g^ciy of th,c wa,r. The songs given are by now established • favourites; as the small boys in the audience clearly indiicate when joining in the choruses. The gtndy of "Cinderella and the Glass gjjp- per" retails a atioug hold on the youthful im- agination, and tho version given at the theatro this week ketpj to the official "story." The pretty dr-ri-ases, tho gorgeous eoenory, and the iun.ny sayings, all cotiteribute to the general effect. A feature which came in for spocial recognition was the .splendidly-rendered duots of Mr Fred Buxton an-d Mas M If(iiod Buxton. Mr Buxton had charge of the first group of entertainers on the Bat:igor Pier, and the welcome acoo-rded both artistes was of a flattering character.
