Quarterly Meeting of Welsh Unitarian Ministers . The Quarterly Meeting of Welsh Unitarian Ministers was held at Llang-endeyrn , near Carmarthen , on the 14 th and 15 th of April last , and was well attended both
days . In the evening- of the 14 th Mr . J . Griffiths , minister at Llandyfaen , introduced ; and Mr . J . Davies , minister at ( Japel y-Oroes and Ystrad , preached from John Tiii . 40 , and Mr . D . Jones , minister at Capel-Sion , and one of the tutors of the Carmarthen College , from Mark tv . 20 .
The introductory part of the service on the 15 th , was conducted by Mr . J . Thomas of Pant-y-defaid \ and Messrs . E . Lloyd of Wick , and J . James of Gelli-Onnen , preached ; the former from Acts xxvi . 29 , and the latter from 1 Tim . vi . 3—5 .
Immediately after the service a conference was held , at which the doctrine of supernatural agency on the human mind , ( the subject discussed at the last meeting held at Swansea , ) was resumed at the desire of some of those who had attended the former
meeting-. Several persons spoke at some length , and many texts of Scripture , which were thought applicable to the subject , were explained ; -hut the doctrine had no supporters at the conference , though it is highly probable there mig'ht be many piesent who believed it to be an important , if not an essential part of Christianity .
It was resolved , that the annual meeting * of the Unitarian Society rendered it inconvenient to hold the quarterly meeting in the summer , and , therefore , that only three quarterly meetings should in future be held every year .
The annual meeting * of the Welsb Unitarian . Society is to he at Llandyfaen on the 17 th of June , and Mr . J . Thomas of Panty-defaid , to preach the sermon . ? The question proposed for discussion at the next , and at every succeeding meeting ' of minister , till it shall go through the Whale c-irele , is , What are the best laws , ralea , or regulations for th « government of a . Chvisfciiu * church ? J . JAMES . M * y \ % y 1819 .

deserve every encouragement : were they enabled by the Unitarian public to pay off the remainder of the debt incurred by the erection of the chapel in Falmouth , it would be likely to accelerate the progress of the cause among- them . "
