WELSH CHURCH. I Disendowment Figures. LOSSES IN SOUTH WALES. ARCHDEACON OF CARMARTHEN'S PLEA. The Ven. Archdeacon of Carmarthen at Swansea on Thursday of last week expressed regret that for several years he had been unable to meet them at a visitation, and then made an eloquent reference to the late King. Proceeding, he urged them to work and pray for Christian unity. Dealing with the Disestablishment and Disendowment of the Church in Wales, he said property which had belonged to the Church of England for hundreds of years could not be forcibly taken away from her without grave injustice, so long as a title of 25 years only gave Nonconformist bodies the legal right to hold any property which might happen to be in their possession, unless it could be shown that there had been a breach of trust, that the money had been in some way misused. No one alleged a breach of trust. The Church in Wales and the Church in England had been one united church for very many centuries. Parliament had the power, but it had no just right forcibly, againsl the will of Church people both in England and Wales, to tear up this union and to dismember the Church. The money that the Church in Wales received from Eng- lish sources, over and above what it received from Welsh sources, amounted to something like L70,000 a year. All this large sum it was proposed to take away from the Welsh Church, while the Ecclesiastical Commissioners and Queen Anne's Bounty were forbidden by law to give any part of it to help the Church in Wales. He did not think that Church people as a rule at all realised as they should do how disastrous Mr. Asquith's Bill would have been to the Welsh Church if it had become law. Consider what would have happened in that archdeaconry. In 1905 there were in the Arch- deaconry of Carmarthen 104 incumbents, whose net incomes amounted to L22,064, of which only £2,305 would have been left to the Church by Mr. Asquith's Bill, while E19,759 would have been taken away, and 41 out f the 104 incumbencies would be without one penny of endowment. THE LOSS IN OTHER PARISHES. In Llandilo Rural Deanery there were 17 incumbents, whose net incomes amounted to Z3,761, of which only E361 would have been left to the Church by Mr. Asquith's Bill, the remaining L3,400 having been taken away, while four incumbencies would be without any endowment. In Kidwelly there were twelve incumbents, whose net incomes amounted to £ 2,687, of which only E232 would have been left to the Church by Mr. Asquith's Bill, the remaining £2,455 having been taken away, while two incumbencies would be without any endowment. In East Gower there were 20 incumbents, whose net incomes amounted to R,4,864, of which L503 only would have been left to the Church, while E4,631 would have been taken away by Mr. Asquith's Bill, and eight incumbencies out of the 20 would be without one penny of endowment. In West Gower there were ten incumbents, whose net incomes amounted to L2,030, of which E256 only would have been left to the Church, while £1,774 would have been taken away by Mr. Asquith's Bill, and six incumbencies would be without any endowment. In Carmarthen there were 16 incumbents, whose net incomes amounted to £ 3,209, of which P,526 only would have been left to the Church, while £2,683 would have been taken away by Mr. Asquith's Bill, and six incumbencies would be without one penny of endowment. In St. Clears there were 19 incumbents, whose net incomes amounted to iE3,614, of which iP.194 only would have been left to the Church, while £3,420 would have'been taken away by Mr. Asquith's Bill, and 11 incumbencies would be without any endowment at all. NONCONFORMISTS WOULD NOT BENEFIT. Two objects-in themselves laudable enough —towards which it was proposed to devote the Church's money were objects towards which money could be obtained from the rates and the Treasury when required, whereas not a penny could be obtained from these sources towards any distinctively religious object. Where was the necessity, then, for taking the money away from the Church? Nonconformists would not benefit in any way by so doing, unless it be thought that it would be to the benefit of Nonconformists merely to injure the Church. He was con- vinced that multitudes of earnest, pious Nonconformists would never consent to see the Church disendowed if they could be brought to think the matter over for themselves, to realise the facts, and to see the grave injury they would be doing to religion in Wales, for wide tracts in thinly-populated areas would be left without one single resident minister of any kind.

Gair am Geninen Gorffennaf. id oes egwyl heddyw i adolygu y rhifyn cylchredol o'r chwarterolyn hwn, namyn llon- gyfarch "y gwr nervous o Gaernarfon" ar ym- ddangosiad prydlon rhifyn yr haf. Diau mai brys oedd arno i'w gael allan cyn teithio ohono i Gaerfyrddin i ymfflamychu oddiar y Maen Llog yng Ngorsedd y Cyhoeddiad. Rhifyn am- rywiol a chyfoethog ydyw, yn cynnwys toraeth o ysgrifau tra dyddorol a chwaethus. Mae Sir Benfro, fel arfer, yn cael ei chynrychioli ym mysg yr awduron—dyna'r Prifathraw T. Rees, M.A., Bangor, awdwr yr ysgrif ar "Godiad a Chynnydd yr Enwad Annibynol yng Xghymru," —Penfrowr o'r iawn ryw ydyw ef; ac nis gellir cyfrif y Proff. J. Young Evans, M.A., B.D., awd- wr ysgrif arall ar "Padrig y Brython," lai na bod yn wyr, os nad yn fab, i Benfro fwyn; ac wrth gwrs, yr offeiriad barddol, Penfro, fel yr awgryma ei enw llenyddol, sydd frodor o'r sir hon. Y mae Mafonwy hefyd wedi byw'n ddigon hir yma belach i ennill ei blwyf, a chan efe yn ddiymdrech a thlws fel arfer ar "ANGLADD Y BRENIN." Ysbryd tlodi i'r cynhebrwng Ddaeth, heb esgyd ar ei droed, Gwyr y bwthyn am y cyfwng Fel y palas yn y coed. Prudd yw grudd y claf, o'r clafdy; Ac fe wyla wrtho 'i hun, Cofiodd lorwerth yn ei hafdy Y gall brenin fod yn "ddyn." Tawa'r byd i Dduw lefaru Ynghynhebrwng "brenin hedd," Ysbryd rhyfel fyn alaru, A syrth deigryn ar ei gledd; A brenhinoedd balch sy'n wylo Ar bleth-dorch o flodau Mai Uwch ei fedd, gan ysgwyd dwylo- Dyn a Duw anghofia fai. Angel Heddwch sy'n yr angladd, Ac olew-gainc yn ei law; Cofia na chai'r ddaear ymladd Pan oedd lorwerth fwyn gerllaw, I'r brenhinoedd sy'n cydwylo Rhodder darn o'r olew-gainc I fyn'd adref, yn eu dwylo A'i roi ar bob gorsedd-fainc. Pa bryd tybed y cyfansoddodd ein hen gyfaill y Parch. D. Emrys James, yr englyn hwn i'r "Awr Ferraf," pa un ai cyn ai wedi priodi? "Ym myd hedd y mae deuddyn—yn rhannu Cyfrinach wrth laslyn: Felus awr! o'u gafael syn Xeidia ar gefn munudyn." "Llythyr Serch" yw testyn Dewi Aeron, brodor o Ddyffryn Taf yn byw yn Aberdar, a thlws yr odla "Gonest a chywir gennad-ydyw hwn Gluda iaith fy mhroflad,- Sibrydion o fron ddi frad- Ing hiraeth am Angharad." Ym- Mhenfro hefyd y dysgodd Gwernogle farddoni i bwrpas, a beth mwy naturiol na'i HEULWEN HAF. "Arllwys aur o'i llys.eirian—wna'r Heulwen Ar heolydd Anian; A dyry ddillad arian, 0 deg liw, i'r goedwig lan. Ar y llenyrch a'r llwyni—y gesyd Frwd gusan goleuni; Nes yw'r ddol dan freiniol fri A'i holl wisgoedd yn llosgi." Ond nid yw'r beirdd i gyd wedi ymadael o Benfro, ac ym mysg y rhai a adawyd nid y lleiaf yw Harry Lewis, Eglwyswrw, gana i'r LLYTHYR-GLUDYDD. "Enwog was, breiniol negecydd,-parod, Pur,yw'r Llythyr-gludydd; Rhyw bennod garia beunydd, Cur a dawns, n ol pynciau r dydd. Efe yw rhanwr cyfrinion—hudol Pell gariadau ffyddlon, Athraw gwlad, di-frad ei fron— Byw nodded poo newyddion." Gorffei8nir difynnu y tro hwn gydag englyn o waith y Dr. Afanwy Harries, Treherbert, a chyn-weinidog y Bedyddwyr yn Nhy-Ddewi, i'r MEDDWYN. "Un hynod yw y ddioden-yn llwyr Y lloriodd wr llawen; Hawyr bach! aeth ar ei ben I gysgu wrth y gasgen."

Very Successful Competitions.
Very Successful Competitions. Under the auspices of the Baptist Church an eisteddfod marked by success both from the point of view of large attendance and keen competition was held at Bethlehem on Thurs- day last. The arrangements were admirable for which the major portion of the credit must be accorded to the esteemed pastor, Rev. J. A. Thomas, and Mr. Morris Williams, on whom the joint secretarial duties devolved. Rev. E. Nicholson Jones, who acted as con- ductor, gave the utmost satisfaction, his witty and appropriate remarks infusing additional in- terest and spirit into the proceedings. The adjudicators, whose decisions met with general approval, were:—Music, Mr. John Evans, L.T.S.C., Fishguard; literature, Rev. E. Nichol- son Jones, Haverfordwest; prize bags, Mrs. J. Llewellyn, Haverhill, and Mrs. Howells, The Factory. Mrs. A. E. Rees,L.L.C.M., Neyland, accompanied. Regret was expressed at the absence of the president, Mr. John Llewellyn, Haverhill, WHO was unfortunately unable to attend. The following is a complete list of the awards:— Prize bags.—Prize divided between Misses Maggie Rowlands, Clarbeston Road, and Eliza- beth Lewis, Spittal. Solo for boys under 16.—There were five en- tries, and the prize was awarded to Thomas Griffiths, Wiston. Solo for girls under 16, "My Mother's Prayer."—This was a very interesting and keen competition, and the prize was divided between Hilda Lewis, Haverfordwest, and Lilian Rees, Llysyfran. Solo for men over 50, "Inspirer and hearer of prayer."—Mr. Davies, tailor, Clarbeston Road. Tenor and bass duet, Where rolls the Caveri."—There were four entries, Tom and Will," "Wanderers," "T. and W. and "Ramb- lers from Haverfordwest." In delivering his adjudication, Mr. Evans said they had had a very good competition on what he described as a difficult duett. The singer of to-day should learn to sing with feeling, and thus convey the spirit of the piece to his listeners. The prize that evening was not going to be given to the one who sang with the loudest voice, but to the one who sang with the most feeling and the correct time. The first party lost the time in the slow passage. The second party gave a good rendering, but it lacked sym- pathy and effect. T. and W." gave a good rendering, the expression, time and pronun- ciation being excellent. The tenor voice was not quite strong enough. The bass solo was the best in the competition, the singer being the only one to sing in proper time. It was also a sympathetic rendering. The last party sang very well, but the top notes were forced by the tenor. The bass solo was good, and here again the time was faulty. The prize was awarded to "T. and W. T. H. Phillips, Far- things Hook, and W. Morris, Pencaer, Fish- guard. Recitation for children under 16, My little pretty native stream."—There were seven en- tries, and the prize was divided between Violet Evans, Trefoy Farm, and Wynford Roch, Crun- dale. Trio, "God be Mertiful."—Three parties com- peted, and in announcing his adjudication Mr. Evans said they had given creditable render- ings, but the piece should have been sung unaccompanied. In awarding the prize to the first party, the adjudicator said they gave a very sympathetic rendering. The bass solo was good. He had a good voice, and his pro- nunciation and phrasing were also good. The duett and trio parts were also excellently ren- dered. The winners were Miss Rees and Mr. Rees, Llysyfran, and Mr. J. Lewis, Clarbeston Road. Tenor solo, Just as I am."—There were only two competitors, and in awarding the prize to Mr. J. James, Haverfordwest, the adjudicator complimented the committee on such an ex- cellent selection, and advised all tenor singers to get the piece. Mixed quartette, The cottage on the hill. This proved one of the most pleasant competi- tions of the evening. There were two entries, "Sine Nomine" and "S.A.T. and B." In giv- ing the adjudication Mr. Evans said this class of piece would have more effect were it sung unaccompanied. The first party were a good combination of voice. The time, tune, expres- sion, and' phrasing were all good, and they were also a nicely balanced party. The soprano was very good, well in tune, and sung with much feeling. It was an excellent interpreta- tion of the piece, their blend adding much to this effect. The second party had good voices, but unfortunately went out of tune. Mr. Evans had no hesitation in awarding the prize to the first party, Misses Hilda Lewis and Louisa Phillips, and Messrs. W. J. and D. B. Edwards, of Haverfordwest. Mrs. W. J. Edwards ac- companied this party. Open solo for men (own selection).—This was the keenest competition of the evening. There were 14 entries, but only seven competed. The adjudicator said that most of the competitors had chosen pieces which they had frequently sung at concerts, and they consequently got into the concert style, taking much liberties with the music. He decided to award marks, and the prize was won by W. Morris, Pencaer, Fishguard, with 17 marks. He sang "Arm, arm ye brave." It was a very correct render- ing. Time, tune, and phrasing were good, and on the whole it was a correct interpretation. D. B. Edwards, of Haverfordwest, was a good second with 16 marks, the adjudicator remark- ing that had he not taken liberties with the music by singing it in concert style Mr. Edwards would have won the prize. The piece he sang was "Lead kindly light." Bass Solo.—There were seven competitors, and in awarding the prize to D. B. Edwards, of Haverfordwest, Mr. Evans said they had heard some good singing, and it was a very keen competition. Mr. Edwards had given an excellent interpretation of the piece. The time, accent, words, expression, phrasing, and tune were all good, and he well deserved the prize. Hymn tune competition, "Rhydiygroes. This was the chief competition of the evening, and there were three entries-Bethlehem, Salem, and Walton. The adjudicator said this piece should have been sung in a grand, majestic style, and in order to do it justice it required a large choir. The first choir started low in pitch. They had good voices, and sang rather fast, but this he attributed to the small- ness of the choir. Salem sang in a good con- gregational style, but they also started low in pitch. The time. tune, and words were good. Walton gave an excellent interpretation, and exceeded the adjudicator's expectation. They started at the right pitch, and sang in a good congregational style. They were a well balanced choir, and the blend and expression were excellent. It was a well finished and compact rendering, and he had no hesitation in awarding them the prize. Mr. John Rees, Llysyfran, the conductor, was invested. Male Voice competition, In the sweet bye and bye."—Six choirs entered, and Mr. Evans said they had had a very good competition, but the prize lay between Haverfordwest and Llysyfran. Haverfordwest were a good body of voices, and gave a pleasing rendering, but it might have been better at the end. Llysy- fran gave a sweet rendering, and were a well balanced choir. The finish was very compact, and to this choir he awarded the prize.
. Lord Kensington's Sister.
Lord Kensington's Sister. TO BE MARRIED IN LONDON NEXT SATURDAY. The wedding of Miss Sylvia Edwardes and Count Gleichen on July 2nd would have been one of the most brilliant functions of the season but for King Edward's demise (says the "New York World.") The bridegroom is a kinsman of the Royal family, being a grandson of Queen Victoria's half-brother, and- son of Admiral Prince Victor of Hohenlohe-Langenberg. The bride-to-be was the youngest and the fairest of Queen Vic- toria's maids of honour, and is maid of honour to Queen Alexandra, and one of her special favourites. So much interested in the match was King Edward that he passed much time discussing the event and making arrangements for the Ceremony. Miss Edwardes is a sister of Lord Kensing- ton, who owns large properties in the West End of London. She became maid of honour to Queen Victoria when she was only seven- teen. As a member of the Royal household her youth excited as much interest as her beauty commanded attention. For Queen Victoria did not care to appoint as maid of honour any young lady who had not seen something of the world. Miss Edwards is highly accomplished; she spent part of her early girlhood in France; speaks French re- markably well, and is a fine musician.

. TREFGARN OWEN EISTEDDFOD.
TREFGARN OWEN EISTEDDFOD. The annual eisteddfod, promoted by the Congregational Church, turned ,ut tnis year again a grand success, although, perhaps, the competitions were not so numerous as in previous years. The duties of president were ably carried out by Col. Roch, of Llethr, who delivered a breezy speech to open the pro- ceedings. The conductor was the popular headmaster of Trefgarn Schools, and it is needless to say that he did his work satisfac- torily, for whatever he takes in hand is done well, and on this occasion he merited the confidence reposed in him. The officials were:—Music, Mr. H. Solva Evans, L.T.S.C., Cardigan; poetry, Mafonwy; literature, Rev. W. M. Lewis,Iyllwyd; recitation^, Rev. R. Jones, Croesgoch, and Rev. J. Ll. Davies, Tre- vine; drawing, Mr. W. D. Evans, L.T.S.C., Solva; prize bags, Miss Muriel Phillips, Mathry, and Miss E. O. Phillips, Trevigan; accompanists, Mr. J. O. Phillips, Mathry; Miss Ada L. Davies, Solva; and Mrs. Lewis, Caer- foriog. Miss Letty C.. Thomas, The Villa, as secretary, worked very hard, and it is mainly to her untiring energy that the eisteddfod proved the success it did. Mr. P. R. Wade, Tancredston, had the cliarge of the purse. The Eisteddfod song, "Chwifiwn Faner," was well rendered by Mr. John Williams, of Troedyrhiw. COMPETITIONS.
