W. S. JONES' POSITION. Tho Rev. W. S. Jones, of tho First Welsh Baptist church, will preach his farewell sermon next Sunday evening. It will be in English. Ills last Welsh sermon will be delivered in the morn ing. Owing to the recent death of his eldest son, Mr. Jones Is undecided as yet when bo will return to Wales. In view of tho fact that tho church In anticipation of his departure has on gaged the services of several Welsh ministers who are to visit this country, he feels that It Miould be given every opportunity to honor its obligations, hence his decision to sever his connec tion with the church next Sunday. Even lefore sickness and death visited his family Mr. Jones was not at all anxious to return to Wales, and at the urgent request of the church he had decided to 1 email!, provided tho Car marthen church would release him, but ns Is well known, they refused to do so. But now, since ho has burled his son here, this country has become very sa cred to him, and the Idea of leaving It Is much harder to entertain. A largo number have taken advantage of this to try to convince him that he has sufficient reason now to remain here; but he docs not seem to view the ques tion from the same standpoint as they do, notwithstanding his inclinations. He views it entirely from tho stand point of honor and the sacredness of a promise. His position Is, Indeed, a. try ing one. FIRE IN A LUNCH WAGON.
