At last Sunday evenings meeting of
the First Welsh Baptist church Rev.
w. S. Jones, the pastor who resigned
several months ago, announced that he
would sever his connection with the
pastorate of the church on March 30.
Mr.. Jones will take charge of the Pri-
DRY street church of Carmarthen, Wales.
1t is not generally known that Mr..
Jones new church is one of the most
prominent Welsh Baptist churches in
Wales. 1t has membership of over
700 and the pastorate is considered by
all the Welsh Baptist clergy to be a
very desirable one. The Priory street
church was built over 80 years ago. 1t
is quaint in structure, yet large and to
the eye of the relic hunter, beautiful.
Mr.. Jones preached at the church dur
ing his tour to Wales last summer.
His sermons won him the favor of the
Carmarthen people and an immediate
call to the pastorate was the result.
Right here it may not be amiss to af
firm that there are many people who
have heard Mr.. Jones preach who be-
leve him to be one of the greatest
representative ministers of the Welsh
nation. In the Welsh language he is
considered "a fluent speaker, correct in
dcton and truly eloquent.
A business meeting of the directors
ton was held in the association build
ing on Monday evening. Secretary
Mahy's report giving the present mem
bership as 1,346 showed a great differ
ence from four years ago when the
members numbered but little over
400. Professor w. II. Buell. chairman
of the educational committee, made
very gratifying report of the education
al department. The matter of altering
and improving the gymnasium was dis
cussed but no definite action taken
The directors are pushing forward a
plan which they have not made public
