After lefeiTing to great specimens of archi- tecture, to tl,e cathedrals, and to the historic Church of St. John's, the canon said they were the richer and betier for all art, and the treat inspiration of 81 ¡ true art was faith ill the Unseen.

DEAN VAUGHAN ON THEO- LOGICAL TRAINING. l A PROTEST FROM THE HECTOR OF I LLANDOUGH. TO TMK FDITOR OF 1UK 11 WFSTKHN MAIL," SIR,—May I ask your insertion of the following remarks whkh could not 110 made at the time, on the dean's p..ch At tile Diocesan C mference. I venture to think that, did the dean feel he could not co"H"Jly support the motion in the spirit in which it was proposed, it would hav»' been kinder to tho prnp »sor and truer to himself to have declined the office rather than to have II damned the causo with faint praise." Some years ago I | asked the dean to support the undertaking of rearing a memorial to'Dr. Puney, at Oxford. He wrote — I coukl not Quite sympathise. This being so, It .eemt B8 houuh ti?.t lly (though n»»i o8leuilJlv) re^rrntlal thing I on do is to stand aside and let olllels du "jlll Offir whole hfnrt what-, perhaps of neofs^ity, 1 could only do with iho half o mine.' This r.,ply wa. open to him now, when naked to second tlte motion, as then. The dean'. firat point was tI". (I write from memory, and am open to correction) that Ihe great men of th clergy had had in the past no theological college t,a¡n¡I12, but had by their own wllI, hearts, and efforts made themselves Hut we are not all yr&t men; they illlho 1'II.t and present are the recep- tion, unU it is b,caIlAII we are awafe that we are not great Inen, and need training in will, mind, heart, and deed that we put ours< lven under great men, that they may impurt to us by example and precepti in some measure at least, what we have not. Hut would their greatness hive been lesnened by "specilll tr-dno at a theolo- gictil college ? Have nut many lamented ihat they had no such opportunity, and would not many a tear have been spared had I hy not had to lament, that through err >r ami ignorance they had to buy their own •xperienre, po.ib y at the cnt of souls? Moreover, hils not the want been reco^uis'-d both "t the universities and by the bishops? This brings me to a fur. her point in the dean's speech. Be Raid, to be under a great man such as Westcott at Cambridge wa. woith all tiie training of a little the.I"gicRI semi- nary. I ask. is the on« prohibitive of ihe other? Have not m..n., men (I peak of Oxford because! am an Oxford man) attended the lecture* of Dr. Putey nn ]»aiah, of Dr Huntley on the Creed*, "f Dr. Jacob^on (afterwards lJiahol1 of Chester), of Dean Stanley on the Jewish Church, of Dr. Scott, master of IJfc*lliol, Oil the txestsia, before and after passing their final achools, and put themselves under the spiritual direction of Dr. Pusev, D" Liddon, or others whitot at the univer- sity, and fet afterwards thought it not unde- sirable to go to Cuddesdon, Well., Salisbury, Leeds, or Ely, for further training betote entering the ministry ? Has not the deau himself thought some training preparatory to orders, nfier the academical course under himself aI, LNndafF, desirable and worthy of his labour and attentioin ? Is it only under liina that it in deairahle, And only where many and various trainers are t-mployed in the education of the students that tlie man is in danger of losing his personality and becoming a poor imitation of an iniiividual ? Mer. who have boen at, a theological college knoir how laughable is the idea when they call to mind the strokes and bows of university and college eight., the captains of university and public echo"! fout- ball teams and elevsus who have retained all their manlin.ss ..nd all their iudifiduallty, and who are now bishops and incumbents. missionaries and curates, who have no reason to be ashamed of their 1I'Slry. Why, may I ask, are men trained al a theological cull,.¡¡e the most in demand of any clergy in the lund botii by incumbents and people if they have been spoiled, forsooth, and made "littieprieets such as we .10 not desire "? Is it true that great men, now that it can be had, do not itesira such a training for th8m81. ? Ask Dr. Talbot, late warden of Keble, now vicar of lAaA ask the Master oi- £ sIwyn, Cambridge; ask the Bishop nf Newcastle, ask the Vicar of Hawarden whether they have not used In the put, nod woulll not fain have used more, the training of a theological college, and whether it haa been, or i% a hindrance to the free working of tlveir will or their ministry ? I spent a yar at Cuddes- don after having attended the 1. ?:or.. of those university professors that I have mentioned above. Was it no advantage to be lictured anil guided by the Bishop of Lincoln, the vice-iirincipal of Lauipeier, by Bishop Webb, Bishops Woodford and Milman, Bishop of Calcutta, by Dr. Bright, Regius Professor of Ecclesiastical History; by the present Dean of St. Paul's, by Bishop Wilberforoe, Bielmp Wordsworth, Canons Cliurton and Carter, Kage (of Calcutta), and others ? Must we suppose lliat men Having such advantaces lose their individuality ? and would they Have b'6n better left to theroaelves in the ureal (and litt e) men "t the past were ? or would it necessarily have been betier to have placed oneself simply in the hands of the Dean of Llandaff, or any parish priest? Perhaps the mo„t remarkable part of the deau'a spfwch was his conclusion. In seconding the motion, in which the mover had not said one word in diaparag*- ment of the dean's mode of training (and I commend his good taste to the dean's at, ontion) tile dean had not ceased from throwing cold wale, t ridicule, and contempt upon Ihe resullsof ihe train- ing to be obtained at a theological college; yet, thn members of the conference were exhoried not to ti?pise or disp%mgo t lm methodl of otimn.

THE VKNKKABLB ARCH- I DEACON HOWELL, FROM A WELSH METHODIST POINT I OF VIEW. The short biographical notice of the Venerable Archdeacon Uowe,1 is interesting because it appears ii the rr?M' fa V ?<")( for NoTembwr, a W,:S bII::i¡,ur.tU'O'1 o:e_i: edited by the Rev. T. Levi, id Aberystwith s—"The H?v. D"v'd Howell (' LI""dd," '), now vicar of Gresford, Archdeacon of Wrexhr.ni, and Canon of Si.

V Plant feels proud to have on its pages a portrait and a short notice of his lif-. Be is the Ideal son nf the late Mr. John Howed, Bryncwtyn, l'encoed, one of thl) chief deacons of the Calvinietic M.thodista in Glamorganshire, who acted as secretary to the Monthly Meeting for a whole general ion, The archdeacon's only brother is also nn active deacon, following In the footstep* of his father, and a member of the Glamorganshire County Council. Their only sister, the wife (wiuow by this lime] of the popular Dr. Saunders, IS us worthy a chip of the old block as either ot the brothers, inheriting the same genius. Thus Llawdden' couies of Calvinistic Methodist stock, and since we have had such a host of eminent men from the Church, the Methodists ought to rejoice to see the Church receiving back from them a few men worth having. Archdeacon Howell was born at Pencoed, Morgan wg, in 1813, so he is now on the but side (the nearest to Heaven) of sixty. When young, he and his sister were told off by their father to manage a fat-in belonging to the family near the old Church of Llangan, a good distance from the chapel of fit. family-Salem. When visiting the place, the keen Archdeacon Griffiths, of Neath, ?w that young Howell poMe?ed qualities higher ,h.in the average, and lie put him at once on the riiiht pal l? t efimb to the pulpit of the Church. L!<wddcn' (he had atrmdy composed some poetry) soon found hiin-elf in the Church institu- tion at Abergavenny, and in 1855 in the pulpit as curate to the Rector of Neath. He was there for eighteen months, when he was chosen secretary for Wales to the Pasloral Aid Society. In three years he had a vicarage in Carnarvonshire— Pwllheli, if wo remember rightly. In 186i he was offered he vicarage of St. John's, Cardiff. He was in C'iriiiff for eleven years, and left a lasting influence on the town. During his stay at Cardiff he achieved gieat einineticeas a powerful preacher, successful Christian worker, and as a bard and man ot letters. He was instrumental in doubling and trebling the influence of the Church in Cardiff. 1111875 its removed to Wroxiiani. and sfter sillleulI years, was ninde a Cauou of Si. Asaph aim Arch- deacou of Wrexham. It was lure that he has spent the best and longest pari of his public life, and it was here, no doubt, that hie labours have proved most succtg-ful. We douht whether any denomination in Wales possesses a minister who has beell S,) successful in increasing ihe number of com- municants and hearers and in building so many churches and schools within the same space of lime as the Rev. David Howell has done at Wrex- ham. Everybody who has heard him will readily confess that he is a preacher, thoroughly evangelical, and the best that the Church in Willes possesses to-day. tie is also an eloquent epeaker, a hard and critic, a thorough Christian, full of the spirit of the Lord, generous and liberal of heart, all ardent Welshman, and Is loved by everybody, Nonconformists and Churchmen, It men of his stamp and of the stamp of Archdeacon (iriffiihs had adorned the episcopal positions during the ,t twenty Yl.'s there would be a vast d,ff. rence in the ?ti?'' ?f ??
