RECOGNITION OF REV. E. NICHOLSON JONES- A meeting to publicly recognise the Rev. E. Nicholson Jones as the Pastor of the Tabernacle Church was held in the Chapel on Monday evening, when the large congregation which gathered there assured Mr Jones of a hearty welcome to his new ministry. The Rev. J. Lloyd Williams, Tenby, pre- sided, and the other ministers of the denomination supporting him were the Revs. Lewis James, Bryn- bank W. Powell, Neyland; James Phillips, Little. Haven O. Jacobs, Albany J. Michael, Keyston Lewis Williams, Tiers Cross; Mr Griffiths, Pem- broke Dock; and W. Joseph, Milford Haven. Revs. O. D. Campbell, Bethesda, and W. Mendus, Ebenezor, were also present. After the singing of the opening hymn, and prayer by the Rev. James Phillips, Mr B. H. Munt (the secretary) was called upon to make a statement dealing with the steps which led up to the invitation accorded Mr Jones and his acceptance of it. Mr Munt concluded with the expression of an earnest hope that Mr J ones' ministry would be blessed with abundant success. The Chairman extended to the Church his hearty w'shes for God's blessing upon the union which had been brought about between them and Mr Jones. He exhorted the Pastor to put the whole of his energy and soul into the work of his ministry. He should never offer to God that which cost him nothing. And to the people he said Don't expect perfection." There was al ways a danger of that. They should ex- pect toil and sympathy, but not perfection. The minister was come to work, not for them but with them to supplement their labours. And he trusted that Mr Jones' efforts would receive God's reward. After the singing of a hymn, the Chairman said he was very gratified to see by his side one who had been well described as the Bishop of Pembrokeshire—(ap- p'au#e)—the Rev. Lewis James. He was glad that Mr James had recovered from his indisposition sufficiently to be present (applause). The Rev. Lewis James said he was always pleased to see a pastorate filled, and was glad to see a minister at Tabernacle after so short a period. He boped that this was not only a recognition but a settleyy ei-it; that Mr Jones would fill the ministry for a long time. He hoped their pastor would be endued with power from on High to carry 00 the work there, and preach the Gospel of Christ Crucified. He wished great prosperity to Pastor and Church—(applause). Rev. W. Powell, Neyland, hoped they would find in Mr Jones the material for the most loving of Pastors. He had known their minister for 24 years, and they could vouch fnr it that a man with the name of Nicholson was a great preacher. They must re- member that their Pastor was in a position which he could leave at any time if he felt obliged to do so. But he (the speaker) hoped they would extend their love and sympathy to him and so give him no cause to leave them. Rev. W. Joseph having spoken, the Rev. W. Powell, Pembroke, addressed words of congratulation to minister and people. They had now the first Welshmin for over a hundred years as their Pastor, and he hoped that he might bring even more fire and enthusiasm to the work than his predecessors. The Rev. Mr Griffiths was the nrxt speaker, and was fol- lowed after the singing of a hymn, by The Rev. John Michael, who said Mr Jones was welcomed to a taree-fold sphere of labour. First he was welcomed to the Pastorate of the Tabernacle, and was thus called to follow in the footsteps of many il- lustrious mea who had occupied that pulpit before him. Then he was welcomed to the Association of Noucouformist Ministers of ,he town and district and through them he was welcomed to the fellowship of the churches represented by them. And in the third • place he was welcomed also to the rural churches of the district, where he would always be a very accept- able visitor. The speaker prayed that Mr Jones' pastorate might be long, happy, and prosperous. The Rev, W. Mendus trusted that Mr Jones was a man of God with a message to the Church and the whole town. He promised him his co operation in every sood effort. The Rev. O. Jacobs extended Mr Jones a hearty welcome from the sister church in the town, which was the oldest nonconformist church in the county— (applause). Rev. 0. D. Campbell said the first year of married life was the most trying. That was the case with a ministry, aud be urged them to trust their pastor. They should not criticise him before their children; they should never believe that story true which ought, to be false, but should always think well of him and have faith in him—(applause). The Rev. P. Nicholson Jones was warmly received on rising to address the meeting. He thanked the congregation as well as ministers and friends from other churches for the hearty welcome they had ac- corded him. He hoped he would come up to the trust reposed in him and never betray their con- fidence. He had been married to that church for nearly three months, and had no oaupe to regret the union. He felt that he had around him a band of sympathisers. They must not expect him to be ex- actly like his predecessor, whose thoughtful kindness in telegraphing his best wishes for that meeting he greatly appreciated. He could scarcely hope to do all that Mr Coiborne did in the service of the town, but he would do his best—(applause). Passing on to speak of his hopes with regard to the ministry, Mr Jones said he was brought up in the school of evangelicalism, and there was no fear of his leaving out of his preaching the great central fact of the atonement. They must remember that all the minis- ters said he must first preach to himself, In con- clusion, he thanked the speakers for their kind ex- pressions concerning him. If all the good things said about him were realised he would be abundantly blessed—(applause). Mr John Rees proposed, and Mr Jones seconded, a vote of thanks to the Chairman, which was heartily carried. The Doxology, and the Benediction, pronounced by the Rev. L3ltÏS Williams, concluded the meeting.

Newspaper Advertisements. Sir Martin Conway, speaking as a traveller, said he thought London was now worse than New York in respect to great hoardings and indiscriminate outdoor advertising. New York had set us an example, but he thought the Americans had found outdoor advertising did not pay, and that newspaper advertising did, for they were now advertising in their papers until they were black n the face.

The meeting was occupied for a long time in discussing finan- ces, but how much the managers knew about the Hibjoct was shown by the fact that they were 10 iking upon an item of iLgO odd as a debit balance, whereas it was afterwards discovered to 1 p en the credit side. No business of much out- side interest was transacted. The Lvlyday Half Yearly Rent Audit of Lord K Mfdngton's Pembrokeshire Estates took place t the Manners' Hotel on Saturday, when Mr J oh-) Fergus?-o;), the Agent, attended to collect I he en! in the afternoon, Lord Kensington, v ho is at [Mfcsent at home on leave from India, esided ab the tenants' dinner.
