Perhaps it may be suggested, that it were better to set up charity schools for the Welsh people in the English language, which, to be sure, will be altogether as edifying as preaching English sermons to Welsh congregations, that understand no tongue but their own. Shall we be more concerned for the propagation of the English language, than for the salvation of our people ? Alas, Sir, must thet not be taught in things which concern their salvation, till they be instructed in a language they do not as yet understand.
