The Norwegian has renamed the
craft the Seal. His enterprise Is pure

her In the sealing trade. He hopes to

religious interference in state anarS'
that may come.
The viewpoint of the nonconformist
is very succinctly stated by Lord Rem
del IN a recent address: I'm setting
the church free, Wales will prove it's
best friend" he said. for Wales will
thereby make the church more Chris
tian and more Welsh"
A recent census shows that but one
fourth OF the Welsh people hold to the
established church. This Is q potent
argument OF the friends Of disestab-
lishment. David Loyd-George. chan
cellor of the exchequer, makes this his
only argument for disestablishment.
He wrote recently:
Surely a nation is entitled to q de-
termininE voice In settlement OF 1ts
own national religion. To insist on
treating q faith which tho Welsh peo-
pie do not accept a. IL it were their
national creed; to continue forcing 1t
upon them as such, In spite OF their
repeated reputation OF its claim; to
divert compulsorily the whole of their
ancient national endowments to its
maintenance il the most intolerab:e Of
all expressions.
Against this wrong we are now
seeking redress from the most potent
tribunal In this iand-the high court
of parliament-and We feel confident
that the justice OF our case will 1T last
obtain statutory recognition"
Wales asked for the disestablish.
Since then eight successive parlia-
ments aeve been petitioned to sepa-
rate tho Welsh state from the church.

carry. the church will lose An annual
