The Aberdare Leader

"Y DELYN A DORWYD YN GYNAE." I Er cof am y diweddar Lewis Edward Lloyd igvnt o Ddolgellau), yr hwn a fu farw yn nhy ei ehwaer, 76, Tanycoed- street, Penrhiwceiber, yn 19 mlwydd oeu. Fy nghan sycki yn brudd, A llüith yw fy ngrudd, Niwl siomiant gymylKid y wawr; 'Rwy'n trigo mewn bedd, Dail surion yw'm gwledd, A hiraeth yw'm cyfaill yn awr. Ar 01 Lewis bach.

Nodion. Nos Lun cafodd trigolion Trecynon a'r oylch y fraint o glywed y Prifathraw T. Bees, M.A., yr hwn sydd yn awr yn eis- tedd yn mhrif gadair Athrofa Bala- Bangor. Gall eglwys Ebenezer ac ardal Trecynon fforddio bod yn falch o'r Prif- athraw Rees. Er nad yn enedigol 0 Heolyfelin, daeth yma yn ieuanc. Bu In gweithio yn nglofa Ysguborwen. (echreiiodd bregethu yn Ebenezer dan weinidogaeth Grawys. O'r pwll glo i brif gadair athrofa sydd gam mawr, ac vmunwn gyda'i hen gyfoedion i longyf- arch y Prifathraw. Bychain a disylw ydyw yr hysbysleni aydd ar ein muriau yn cvhoeddi Eistedd- fod Genedlaethol Llundain.

y, lawn, ASERCHIAD GAN Y PRIFATHRAW rr. HEBS, a Yr lawn n ydoedd pwnc anerchiad grjmus a draddodwyd yu Nghapel Anni- bynol Ebenezer, Trecynon, nos I.un di weddaf, gan y Parch. 1'. Bees, M.A., Prif- athraw Coleg Bala-Bangcr. Yr oedd yn brtsenoi y Parchn. J. Grawvs Jones, y llywydd; R. J. Jones, M.A., J. Tudor, E.A., J. M. Jones, M.A., J. Morgan Bryn Seion, 4ir- Gwenffrwd Hughes, Gadlys; D. Hopkins, Noddfa, a chynulliad da o leygwyr. Cyfeiriodd y siaradwr at y gwahanoi ysgolion o dduwinyddiaeth o'r oesoedd boreuol hyd yn awr, ac tLolygocki mewn ffordd ddeheuig ac eglur amryfal syniaci au ac athrawiaethau duwinyddol y can- rifoedd. "Yn ol at Grist" meddai yd- oedd cri yr oes. Nid yn unig yr oedd eis- le yn ol at Grrist, ond lief yd yn 01 Dduw, fel canolbwynt y gyfundrefn ad >1. Yn nghwrs ei araeth gcmiotia y Prifathraw, "A ydych ehwi, yn Ysgolion Sul Aberdar, wedi dechreu gwadu duwdod Crist drwy ddweyd mai fel dyn yr- oedd yn byw, ac yn dioddef ac yn gwnevd pobpeth. t" Gs derbyn Duw- dod Crist, rnaid derbyn y cwbl o hono, meddai. Y Parch. R, J Jones, wrth gvnyg dick-ii i'r Prifathraw, a ddywedai nad oedd Mr. Rees yn ddiau yn disgwyl iddynt oil gydweled ag ef mwy hag yr oedd efe yn cytuno a'r gwahanol dduwin- yddion a enwodd. "Phycid i bob un ei farn ac i bob barn ei llafar ydoedd rheol euraidd Protestaniaeth. Eoed iddynt ymdrechu i gadw undeb yr ysbryd yu nghwlwm tangnefedd. 'H 1 Parcn. J. Morgan a euioud y diolcn. Llongyfarchodd Ebenezer ac ardal Aber- dar ar y ffaith eu bod wedi codi dyn mor enwog ;'1' Prifatliraw Rees. Tra yr oedd un wedi tynu yr ardal i lawr trwy y cwterydd yr oedd un o leiaf wedi ei dvrehafu. Y Parch. J. M. Jones a gefnogodd y diolch. Dywedai fod y Prifathraw wedi clod i anerch y cwrdd ar gais y Dosbarth Duwinyddol o'r hwn yr oedd efe yn athraw. Y Cynghorwr T. Lewis hefyd a lon- gyfarchai y Prifathraw ar ei hvydd yn cyrhaedd xadair Bala-Bangor. Gwahcddwyd cwestiynau, a rhoddwyd rhai gan Mr. T. Lewis, Mr. T. 'Williams, ac ereili. Atebwyd hwy oil gan Mr Rees.

Ceirlog--Bardd a Christion. SYNIAD MB n. H. EYANS AM DANO. Nos Iau, yn Nghapel Bedyddiol y Gadlys dyddorwyd cynulleidfa o Gvmry brwdfrydig gan Mr. H. H. Evans. M.E., Bwllfa, yr hwn a draddododd iddynt ei ddarlith boblogaidd ar yi awenber Ceir- iog Llywyddwyd gan y Parch. R. Gwen- ffrwd Hughes, gweinidog y Gadlys. Del- I iodd Mr. Evans yn benaf gyda nodwedd- ion awen lednais a swynol Ceiriog. Dyfvnodd yn ehelaeth o dri gorchest- aith y bardd, "Myfanwy FychaD," u Owain Wvn," ac U Alun Mabon," a'r mwvaf o'r tri hyn, yn nhyb Mr. Evans, ydoedd Alun Mabon. Darllenodd y dar- lithydd rai rhanau o'r gerdd hon gyda'r fath rym a naturioldeb nes gvru y cyn- ulliad astnd i gryn hwyl. Adroddodd Mr Evans yr amgylehiadau dan ba rai y canodd y bardd Ti wyddost beth ddy- wed fy nghalon." Yn mhellaeli canwyd yn effeithiol iawn y gan anfarwol hon gan y pedwar canlynol, Mrs. Annie Evans, Miss E. Morris, Mri. Daniel Ed- wards a John Edwards. Furf arall o amrywiaeth. a gymerodd yn dda ddigynvg ydoedd cyfres o ddeu- awdau gan y darlithydd a'i fab ieuanc talentog, Master Johnny Evans, yr hwn, fel parablwr clir a chantor peraidd, sydd lawn cystal a'i dad. Canasant rai o delynegion. mwyaf difyr Ceiriog, y rhan fwvaf o honynt i alaw U Nos Galau," a chavrsant gymeradwyaeth Cai-illefol. Ar ddiwedd ei anerchiad cyfeiriodd Mr Evans at erthygl a ymddangosodd yn y Leader" yn ddiweddar, yu yr hon yr awgryrnid fod Ceiriog yn anffyddiwr. Wei nid oedd efe (Mr. Evans) yn adwaen Ceiriog yn y cnawd, and y. oedd yn lied gynefin ag ef yn yr ysbryd. Yr oedd efe yn drwyadl gyfarwydd a ffrwyth awen y bardd, ac nid oedd wedi canfod yr un syniad anffyddol yn yr oil o'i waith. Ond yr oedd wedi canfod ugeiniau a chanoedd o syniadau i beri iddo gredu fod Ceiriog yn Gristion. Nis gallai gredu ychwaith fod Ceiriog yn Pharisead. Yn y llijiellau hyillv Ni fedd yr holl gread un plentyn. a wad Fod byd anweledig os collodd ei dad," yr oedd Ceiriog wedi canu ei brofiad ef (y darlithydd), oblegyd collodd yntau ei dad yn ieuanc. Ai geiriau anffvddiwr ydoedd y rhai hyn jL "Ei faner ef fo uwchaf Ar goedwig fyw y mor, A'i liniau ef fo isaf Wrth oreeddfainc yr lor." Nid dymuniadau amheuwr a gynwysid ychwaith yn emyn melus, Jer-Lisalera, fy nghartref." Gwenffrwd, yr hwn a sicrhai fod Mr. Evans mor naturiol a gwrthddrych ei ddarlith, a gynygiodd ddiolch gwresog i'r darlithydd, ei fab, a'r cantorion ereill. Eiliwyd gan Mr. Thomas Bowen. Ar gynygiad Mr. Evans, ac eiliad Mr. Thomas Thomas, diolchwyd yn galonog i'r cadeirydd hefyd. I

Cwmdare. COAL RAISING. On Thursday last there was quite a record output of coal at Bwllfa No. 1 Collieries. At the Old Pit 1,001 trains were raised, while at the 6ft. Pit 503 trams came to the surface. POLICE REMOVALS.—After a stay of seven years in the village, P.C. Caleb Morris has been removed to Abernant, to succeed P.C. Panniers, who goes to Cwinaman. P.C. Morris is substituted by P.C. Bendall, of Aberdare. AMBULANCE.—The annual ambu- lance examination was held at Cwmdare Council Schools last Saturday, and was very well attended. Dr. Richards, Car- diff, examined the candidates. Mr. H. H. Evans, M.E., Bwllfa, performed the secretarial work very creditably. ST. LUKE'S.—Holy Communion was celebrated at St. Luke's Church last Sunday morning at the 8 o'clock service. The Rev. T. W. Long officiated. The 11 o'clock service was conducted by Mr. D. G.

PERFORMANCE.—A second perform- ance of the operetta, Hawthornglen," was given by the Highland Place Band ci Hope on Thursday evening at the chapel schoolroom. The dramatis per- son ae were the same as on the previous occasion, each performer taking his or her part well. Mr. Dan Davies, A.C., was the conductor, and Miss Constance Evans played the accompaniments. The following gave general assistance: Mr. and Mrs. Jones, Dynevor House; Mrs. Davies, Pembroke-street; Miss M. Wil- liams, Miss Gladys Evans, Miss M. M. Davies, and Mr. J. L. Thomas. I. AnhK.\ .\( LL.—The meaning of the religious faith of Jesus Christ as ex- pressed in John 12, 50, was the text of an address delivered from Tabernacle pulpit on Sunday evening by the Rev. J. M. Jones, M.A. Religion, said Mr. Jones, was made to serve every imaginable pur- pose. Some looked at it from a profit and loss standpoint. Others could only think of religion in terms of pleasure. Some viewed it as a burden which it was their duty to carry. Religion was regarded in terms of restraint by some people—a kind of moral police force. All these were aspects of religious power, but they were all inadequate if placed by the ,side of the sayings and character of Jesus Christ. The main characteristic of the religion of Jesus was that it embodied in his life the commandment of God, and the voice of his own conscience. HIGHLAND PLACE.-Rev. H. Fisher Short, Crewe, who was for some time pastor of Highland Place Unitarian Church, preached at this church on Sun- day morning, and evening to large con- gregations. In the morning he took for his subject, "Religion and my neigh- bour." Again and again we hear, said the preacher, that Christianity has been tried for 2,000 years and has proved a failure. To every such critic he would say, "Christianity has not failed for the simple reason that it has never been tried." Passing to to deal with f4 our neighbour," Mr. Short said that all consideration of class, creed, or country, should be forgotten. Love the poor and wretched as thyself." Jesus had a big heart; he was good and he was also great. —In the evening Mr. Short delivered an able discourse on Faith, Hope, and Love.

Pritchard and Powell's employees, of Aberdare, travelled in specially chartered char-a-banc to Creigiau, near Pontypridd. Several friends accompanied the party, and a very enjoyable dav was spent. SCHOLARSHIP SUCCESS.—Mr Moses Jones, of Forge View Cottage, Aberaman, h.as gained a three-guinea summer scholarship under the auspices of the Glamorgan County Council Mining Ex-. animations Board. This will entitle him to. a. course of three weeks tuition in engineering subjects free of charge. GWAWR.—On Sunday last the pulpit of the above Welsh Baptist Church was occupied by the Rev. W. T. Francis (formerly of Llangyndeirn, Breconshire), now the pastor of Aberduar Church, Llanybyther. His sermons proved to be very acceptable. Mr. Francis is exceed- ingly popular, at Aberaman, and many are in favour of inviting him to the pastorate of Gwawr. N,A.U.S.A.-On Wednesday the ordin- ary meeting of the Aberaman Branch was held. Mr. John Jones, Cwmbach, occupied the chair. Mr. Ivor Jones, London House, was unanimously appoint- ed press correspondent, in succession to Air: J. H. Jones, Godreaman. The dis- cussion centred chiefly upon the letter and copy of agreement received, con- demning sweating at the joinery works of the Salvation Army in Hanbury Street, London. SCRIPTURE SUCCESSES.—From the results on another page we note that the Scripture examination at Ynyslwyd Sun- day School has been extremely satis- factory. Three of the candidates from 12 to 16 years of age have gained the maximum number of marks, viz., 100. Great credit is due to Miss Charles and Miss Maude Richards, as the teachers of the section under 12, and Misses Maggie Jones and May Evans the teachers of those over 12. Mr. David Johnson, the superintendent of the Sunday School, and Mr. Thomas Davies, Glannant-street (the secretary for the Aberdare district) also rendered valuable assistance. APPOINTMENTS.—At a full commit- tee meeting of the Aberaman Institute, held on Thursday, the following appoint- ments were made:—Mr. John Jones, the present caretaker of the Institute, to be- come Library Curator and billiard marker; and Mr. Gomer Key, of Aber- aman, swimming bath and boiler attend- ant. There were 25 candidates for the latter post, the number being reduced to 2. Mr. Charles H. Pullin obtained 12 votes, and Mr. G. Key, the successful ap- plicant, 19. For the curatorship there were 10 candidates, the semi-finalists being: Mr. H. J. Venables, 11; Mi- Jas. Phillips, 20; and Mr. John Jones, 29. In the final count the latter received the larger number of votes. PRESENTATION.-Last week-end the Ti,eiiibers of the Aberaman Gymnasium and Physical Culture Club assembled to make a presentation to Mr. Will Evans, of George-street. Mr. Evans has been iitl1 active member of the club since its inception, and has always taken keen in- terest in matters relating to sport in every form. He has been the hon. treas- urer of the club. It was fitting, there- fore, that he should receive a gold-centre medal with his initials, "W.E., 1909," engraved thereon, as well as a purse of gold, in recognition of his valuable ser- vices. The presentation was made in a few well-chosen words by Mr. Richard Lewis, the club instructor. He enumer- ated the qualities of Mr. Evans and his great services in the cause of physical culture. Mr. Evans briefly and suitably responded. responded. TEMPERANCE'.—On Saturday even- ing last the annual meeting of the Tem- pera nee Lodges in connection with the Welsh Baptist Churches of Aberaman and district was held at Gwawr Vestry, In the absence of Mr. Daniel Owen, the chair was occupied by Mr. W.

The chairman of com- mittee appointed for next year is Mr. Wm. Owen Evans, Ynyslwyd, whilst the presidents of next year's Cymanfa will be Mr. Daniel Owen, Cwmbach, and Mr. Wm. Evans, Curre-street, Aberaman. The delegates selected to attend the above committee are: Messrs. Robert Davies and John Griffiths, of Cwmbach. and Godreaman Churches respectively. Mr. Ebenezer Williams, Aberdare, was ap- pointed the Cymanfa organist for next year, and Mr. J. E.

-n- On a'ree2nt Sunday, while the peaceful and Sabbath-loving residents of Cwm- dare were proceeding to their places of wcrsliip, two colliers might be seen busily at work putting a load of coal out of the way. This Job had been post- poned from the previous day owing to the parties being occupied in putting soniie fluid out of the way.
