attributed to the climate, relocating to Denver. The move was too late for his wife, who died there on New Year's Day 1900. A pastorate at North Avenue Baptist Church in Baltimore, Maryland followed, where Morgan edited a collection of essays on theology, issued under the title Theology at the Dawn of the Twentieth Century. However, the death of his talented and enthusiastic wife, Sarah, seriously affected Vyrnwy Morgan. Once an outspoken teetotaller, he began to drink. The nadir came when he was arrested for shoplifting. In 1903, he returned to Wales, hoping to carve out a new career. Later life On his return to Wales, Morgan settled in Cardiff. He joined Star Street Congregational Church, preaching at a number of chapels in Cardiff and its surrounding settlements. On the few occasions he preached after this date, it was under Bishop's Licence. He edited two collections of biographical articles, Welsh Religious Leaders in the Victorian Era (1905), and Welsh Political and Educational Leaders in the Victorian Era (1908). In 1908, Morgan left Cardiff, spending some time at the family home in Cwmafan, following the death of his father, before moving to West Wales, initially settling at Aberystwyth. In 1909, Morgan published The Welsh Religious Revival 1904-5: A Retrospect and a Criticism, a book which was severely critical of the part played in the Revival by Evan Roberts. It was in 1909 that Vyrnwy Morgan finally broke with Nonconformity, being received into the Church of England, Although he occasionally spoke under special bishop's licence, he was not re-ordained, although he continued to style himself 'Reverend'. The same year, Morgan married Margaret Greig of Edinburgh, by whom he had one child, a daughter, Jean (born November 1910). At the 1910 General Elections, Vyrnwy Morgan was a visible and vocal Conservative supporter, addressing audiences in England and Wales. While his chief target was the Liberal Government's plans to disestablish the Church of England in Wales, he also attacked the Government's fiscal policy. He was extremely critical of David Lloyd George, a former acquaintance from his days as a Nonconformist minister. He would publish seven more books, A Study in Nationality (1911); The Philopsophy of Welsh History (1914); The War and Wales (1916); The Church in Wales in the Light of HIstory (1918); The Life of Viscount Rhondda (1919); The Bible in the Light of Modern Thought' (1922); and the Welsh Mind in Evolution
