* BREAKFAST CONFAB.

LLOYD GEORGE, HAS PECULIAR HABIT."

Mr. Lloyd George is never hap pier than when speaking at a breakfast table' conference, says a writer in 'The Observer." His liking for the exchange of views] at the morning meal was one of the features of his Premiership.

It was in this way that the ex-Premier began his Dro gramme on resuming his Whit suntide tour. Overnight he had addressed 3,000 people at Clif College, Calver. Dame Margraet Lloyd George having earlier per formed the ceremony of opening the college's new wing. Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd "George stayed the night at the college as guests of the

next Principal. and morning breakfasted with the sindents of the famous Wesleyan training college for evangelists.

Mr Lloyd George was in one cf his brightest moods. He.chatted and laughed freely with the young men, and after a Welsh hymn had! been sung in English, he addressed then upon the work which lay before them as missionaries and evangelists,

..

They were, said Mr. Lloyd George, training for a great career. at a great and fateful period in the history of the nation. The world was like a man who had been and had been knocked down Buffering from concussion, a wounded man who had not re-i 'covered his full strength or his full faculties, and who was wandering rbout in a dazed sort of way.

"It lies with you young men to point out to the world the road they are to travel," he continued. Your task of leading the bruised. world on the right road comes after the idealism of the war has passed-for there was an idealism in the war. When a man sacrifices life or limb for any purpose witch is not selfish, he instantly becomes only a little lower than the angels. "That happened in the war. There since. has been a reaction Humanity, tired of having been on the wing for so long, has come to earth. There has been a materialistic hardening, but that will pass away. When it does you will find there will be a great resurgence of the spiritualliy which lies deep in the nature of mon, and it will burst forth pro bably in a current such as has never been seen."

Accompanied by Sir Robert Kaye, M.P, and the Principal of the College, the Rev. Samuel Hadwick, Mr. and Mrs. Cloyd George motored from Tetworth Park to Manchester, and there they entrained for Criccieth. On their arrival they were greeted by a crowd of villagers who had gathered at the station.
