NEW Rev. Edward Jones, the new Wesleyan minister, who follows the Rev.

Tecwyn Evans, preached as the Elanrwst circuit superintendent for the first time on Sunday. The rev, gentleman is a vigorous opponent to the so-called modern views held on the Old Testament, and his scholarly protest against certain theologians in "mythologising" the Old Testament character Job was most convincing. He was warmly welcomed to his new home by the deacons, some of whom highly eulogised Mr. Jones's sterling qualities.

Her winsome and pleasant disposition had won for her many true friends to whom her loss will be keenly felt. She leaves a widower and daughter, "Jeanie," to whom the loss is irreparable. Mr. McFarlane was greatly touched by the action of the choir in attending the service. To the members he feels deeply indebted for their token of respect.
