that there is simple way to prevent
potatoes from burning and sticking to
the bottom of the pot. An inverted
pie pan placed in the bottom of tho
pot avoids scorching potatoes. The

pan save the potatoes. This also

The viewpoint OF the nonconformist
is very succinctly stated by Lord Rem
del IN recent address,: I'm setting
the church free, Wales will prove its
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 potent
argument of the friends of disestab-
lishment. David Lloyd-George. chan
cellor Of the exchequer, makes this his
only argument for disestablishment.
He wrote recently:
Surely nation is entitled to de-
termining voice in a settlement Of its
own national religion. To insist on
treating faith which the Welsh peo-
pie do not accept as II it were their
national creed; to continue forcing it
upon tEem as such, in spite of their
repeated reputation Of its claim; to
divert compulsorily the whole Of their
ancient national endownsents to it's
maintenance is the most >ntolerable Of
all expressions.
Against this wrong we are now
seeking redress from the most potent
tribunal in this land-the high court
Of parliament-and we feel confident
that the justice of our case will at last
obtain statutory recognition"

ment first in 1885. IT. was refused
