Mr Parr, m the course of his address, said that he opposed the de- centralisation of the movement because he was of opinion that it would be dis- astrous, as the organisation had been bu.lt up through centralisation and the confidence of the members.—Mr R. J.

No lecture of any nature was allowed in Poland without, the permission of the Governor-Gener- al. They were forbidden to speak the Polish language, and people had beei» sent to prison for attending a tea- party. It wis a crime to associate with Socialism. It was her acquaintance with Phillip Pevish, a Socialist, and his friends, that led t(. her arrest. She was imprisoned for over 6 months, and she felt indebted to England, and among others to the people of Aber- aman, who had doue their best to get her released. Overtures 011 the piano were given, which included a. selection from H choPper." dealing with the bombardment of Warsaw by Russia.— At Saron Chapelji on Monday the series 01 lectures were concluded fay visit ot the popular dramatic reciter, Mr of the popular dramatic reciter, Mr Alexander Watson, who upheld his re- putation as a dramatic, reciter, and the large audience listened most attentively for over an hour.

Stomach Troubles.I
Stomach Troubles. Stomach troubles always tend to be- come worse if neglected. The occasion- 31 headache or pains after eating, which trouble you now, may scarcely seem worth attention, but twelve "months hence, if you neglect them, you may he numbered amongst the great army of dyspeptics, whose daily toil becomes al- most intolerable through chronic head- aches, pain.s after eating, flatulence, biliousness, constipation, languor, sleep- lessness, and depression. It is easier to prevent than cure, therefore act promptly, now, and take MothervSeigel's Syrup daily, after your meals. Jt is a herbal remedy, made from more than ten varieties of roots, barks, and leaves. You will find, as have tens of thousands before you, that it has a most beneficial elfect upon the stomach, liver, and bowels. Forty years of world-wide successes have proved it. You can prove it, too.
Cwmaman Notes.
Cwmaman Notes. BY MARCUS AURITLIUS." Iav I bp allowed to tender a. word of advice in connection with the recent performances of "Die Sion Dafydd at the Public Hall. Taking it through and through the society acquitted them- selves in a fairly creditable manner. Sonie of the parts, to my tli I nkiiig, needed strengthening, such as the part of the Schoolmaster, the two Tramps. and one or two others. On the other hand there were three parts which re- quire special mention. Miss Elizabeth A. James as Angharad Lloyd, despite a little shyness, acquitted herself ad- mirably. The acting of Mr William John Phillips as Jack Dafydd and Mi- Thomas Evans as Richard Jones Davies. Esq.. were superb. Now that the Society have commenced to make themselves felt," they should, to repeat the words of a. local reverend gentleman, go in for something more substantial. Suc- cess to the Saronites. Electric shocks are still the vogue in connection with the buses" at Cwmaman. The language of some of the affected passengers is causing shocks. Can nothing be done to aliav these unwelco ne "attentions." It would not be a bad idea ii this wasted electricity were used to accelerate the speed of the buses, so that the public could enjoy a better service.

menced with a pianoforte overture by Mr Clifford Morgan, followed by a solo by Mr Thomas (Lipton's). Then came a sketch, entitled The Black Barber," the performance of which caused roars of laughter.

The supper was all that could be desired. A few speeches and merry songs afterwards entertained the company, who royally toasted Mr and Mrs Jackson in hearty fashion with expressions of good will for their future happiness. ST. ELVAN'S. At this church on Sunday morning the Benedicite was sung to Best in C, and the Benedictus to Woodward in E flat. The Rev. D. J. Rowland, B.A., officiated, and preached from Isaiah 55. 6. In the course of his sermon, the rev. gentleman said that a man would not .succeed in any business or profession without real effort and great self-denial. Why should he ex- pect to succeed in the great business of saving his soul—in the life profession of Christ's service-oii easier terms. The proper observance of the sacred season of Lent ought to enable us to give move time and money and energy to God's service and that of our fellow- men than we ordinarily give, then we should feid when Easter came that we were stronger and more serviceable men anl wo.nen, capable of enduring more and doing more for Him and with Him whose name w; bear. At the evening service the Canticles were sung to Stainer. The Hev. K. O. Carter, t.A., officiated. At the end of the service a litany of Penitence was sung. TABERNACLE. — The Rev. D. E. Davies, B.A., Tavistock, preached at Tabernacle English Congregational Church 011 Sunday last. Mr Davies is a born and bred Aberdariati, he being the son of the Rev. W. S. Davies, pastor of Horeb, Llwydeoed. On Sunday morn- ing Mr Davies preached from Ezekiel i. 10, where fhe prophet records his vision of the faces respectively of an eagle, an ox, a lion. and a man. The preacher observed that emblematically the text impressed upon us the duty to (1; cultivate the keen sight of the eagle. All engaged in Christian work should be characterised with keenness of vision, so as to see the Lord in all things. (2) To cultivate the humility of the ox. Those who took upon themselves the Christian yoke must be prepared to render service in a spirit of humility and willingness. The ark of the Lord must be carried on willing shoulders. I (3) We should develop the characteristic of the lion, which was courage. We should not be dismayed by the power of I evil or the success of the unrighteous. There was too much laxity and license in the social life of to-day. (4) We should cultivate the heart of a man, and how down in reverence and adora- tion to our Creator. Was the cultivation of the spirit of reverence a lost art to- day ? Most, of our religious institutions and sacred observances were treated with scant respect. We needed all the afore-mentioned traits to complete and perfect the Christian character.
