Lord Bishop of St. Asaph, the first Archbishop of Wales, is a! great Welshman and a great personality, writes a correspondent to the "Morning Post." The son of a Welsh clergyman and reared in a remote country parsonage, to this day he speaks English with that delicate intonation which betoreus! the educated Welshman, using a vehicle of expression that is not his own, for all his life has been spent in Wales save for the years of his residence at Oxford," and even then he was at Jesus, the academical Mecca of every Welsh schoolboy.
From Oxford he went back at; once to Wales, and for a considerable period, first as assistant master and then' as Warden, was at the famous Welsh Public School of Llandovery. Then he became for a short period vicar of Carmarthen, one of the most important; benefices in the Diocese of St. David's. But his great powers and strength of character marke him out for promotion, and so, in 1889, he was called to preside over! the Northern Diocese of St. Asaph, which contains within its borders Hawarden Castle, the home of the Gladstones.
