St. David's Day. ] Celebrations at Aberystwyth Tb, memory of the Patron Saint of Wales waa rmoured with greater- eclat at Aber- ystw- ih this year than in any previous year with: a living memory. The national spirit rv: sentiment is experiencing a revival in t' J town, and this year's Febratioi.s were j a more spontaneous and enthusiastic i :aracter than those hitherto held. Greater prominence was also given to the wearing o1 the leek, and despite the efforts whi4i have been made to introduce the daffodil into public favour as the national emblem, the leek^ held undisputed sway this year, At the College the usual eisteddfod, pio- rroited^ bv the students, was he'd' on St. David's Eve. On Friday evening a drama, entitled, "Urddiad y Saint," by Professor J Young Eyaiis was read by the students or the Qilvinistio Methodist College. The members of "Y Gymdeithas Gymreig" sat down to a banquet at the Waterloo Hotel, and the 44th annual banquet at the Tal- bot Hotel was this year presided' over bv Mr. T. B. Grierson. At the University College a grand soiree was held Y GYMDEITHAS GYUKEIG HANQT'ET AT THE WATERLOO HOTEL.

The first toast at the post-prandial pro- ceedings, which were conducted entirely in Welsh, was that of "The King." submitted by the Chairman, who said that they drank His Majesty's health not only because they v ere patriotic, but because they remembered lii* visit to Aberystwyth about eleven yea, s ago and because they remembered his gen- ial and inspiring personality. The toast having been warmly received, the Chairman next gave the toast of The Quoon and the Royal family," which was likewise drunk with enthusiasm. A song, with words composed for the oe- •Hiion by "Cadv an was sung by Miss Pollie Jones, the chorus, which was as follows, be- i 'Hi heartily taken up by the whole com- jmriy:— Tra meddwl yu ymwisgo Yn ngheinion unrhyw aeg. A swyn mewn can a thelyn, Hir oes i'r faith Gymraeg The toast of the evening, that of The I-amortal Memory of St. David," was pro- posed by Prof. Edward Edwards in his oivu inimitable way. He said this honour had been conferred upon him because he was supposed to know something about history. Alvhough he did not know much about St. David, yet Lie wished to say a gieat deal tit him. (Laughter). St. David lived ill ancient times and those nines were so lar back that it would be very difficult for them to say whether he was telling the truth about h.m or not. But this much was true about iilli- iuat he lived and that he died. (Laughter). •uid although they did not know when J; wui born, they were perfectly siue that he died after he was born—(renewed laughter) —and that he died in the year 602. lie cot,id give the dav Liid the month, but he did not think it was necessary to go into details that night. (More laughter).' St. David and himself were very much alike. this. difference—that St." David lived in the time of the saints and he lived in the present time. (Loud laughter). St. David lived in the 6th century, a very important oontury in hdsitciry, a century in which a re- ligious revival took place, "and it was the century in which the old Cymry took posses- sion of the country and drove the Irish and her peoples out of it. He lived in the age oi the saints, in the age when the churches of Wales were consecrated to the saints or to fche old princes who gave land, or money <x> erect the churches. Dewi Saiit's great mission was to evangelise Wales, and to; fight for the independence of the old Welsh C hurch. Ihe old W elsh Church was very •old—older than any other church, and she had remained independent up to the present time, The spirit of the old church, the spirit that was awakened in the Lme of St. DavM, had continued throughout the ages, and he was glad to see the Welshmen of Aberystwyth at the beginning of the 20th century commemorating their patron saint ifi a manner they neecl not be ashamed of. St. David fought against the English Church for ihe independence of the Welsh Church. His chief opponent was Augustine bishop of Canterbury, but the Welsh refused to bow the knee to the requirements of the English rim ch. There was no ground for the asser- hon that St. David was archbishop of VV lias. During the religious revival of the ota century, seven bishoprics were estab- lished in Wales, and amongst them the »i-;hopric of Llanbadarn for Ceredigion. He v o.dd suggest the Church in Wales could be improved by establishing another bishopric at Llanbadarn. (Laughter). There was a brsaopric at Llanbadarn at the beginning of the- 10th century, but the people of Llan- badarn attacked the Bishop and killed him.. I be people of Llanbadarn always did things mghly—(laughter)—and for this act ti.ey were deprived of the bishop-ic. Al- though St. David was not a Welsh Arch- bishop, he had come down in tradition to bo their patron saint, and long might he con- t-,ii!ie to be so. (Applause). Song4 "Niagra." Mr. Owen, David Samuel, M.A., headmaster of County School, submitted the toast nf "L[f>T1 a. chan Oymru" (Wrelsli Lit^ratme Jhtic) No one, J.e said. felt /1), he did the importance of fosterina- literature. Had their langnase died o n the past they also as a nation would have gone with it. The chief object of a s sciety such as theirs was to preseiwe the language by fostering, developing, and en- l'if-jnng the literature of their country. He iva3 surprised at the number of Welsh news- papers, magaiznes, and periodicals which na, -i appeared during the last century in V, ah s. True, some of them were only short- lived, but the fact that there were so many of them proved that tho Welsh people had a taste for reading and for literature. He thought every nation should aim at some- thing higher than mere utilatarianism. No nation had, in Ms opinion, the right to be placed in the forefront which ignored the intellectual things of life. Every nation which aimed at taking a leading place amongst the nations of the world ought to aet its mind on something higher than mere material gain. What did they make of Welsh literature in these days? Was it original r Was the feeling, was the soul of Wades felt- in its literature? Or was it foreign.? While they received much from English literature and the literature of otner countries, he felt that Welsh litera- ture inevitably suffered owing to its proxi- mity to that of the English!. The more they received from foreign literature the greater became the need for them to develope their own literature. A nation was like an in- dividual. The nation which neglected its literature and its traditions lost its indivi- duality, and was on the road to ruin. Their literature ought to rise from themselves;, and if it ciime from any other source it was not their own. Mr. Samuel made a strong plea for the development of an sesthetic taste in the national literature. The great fault of Welsh literature was. want of purity and an inability to set out thoughts in effec- tive and striking language. He advised all who wrote to the Welsh newspapers and magazines to cultivate a good taste in order to keep the language pure and characteris- tic. It was their duty to keep the language and the national tradition alive. He hoped the new Welsh Society would do everything in its power to create a love for the old Welsh authors and writers, and that their fame would be spoken of as long as there remarried a. tongue in Wales. (Applause). The Rev. Cad van Davies, in responding, said the. oldest Welsh periodical, Yr Eur- grawn," first published in 1809 was still alive. '• Seren Gomer," was the precursor of the Welsh newspaper, followed by the • Gwyliedydd," published when Gwallter Mechain was at the zenith of his fame. The lev. gentleman said real Welsh literatuie had sometliing in it akin to the literature of Eastern countries, in that, great truths were often written in the form of parables, Cadfan spoke highly of Talhaiam, Ceiriog. and Mynyddog, who were the pion- eers ct Welsh lyrical poetry, and he was glad to find that the flame lit by them was being kept alive in the present day by Elfcd and others. In conclusion, he strongly urged that the people of Aberystwyth should make an effort to get the National Eisteddfod held in the town. (Applause). Song. Gvvlad y delyn," Miss Mollie Osven. Mr. r. Darlington, H.M.I.S., submitted the toast of "Sefydliadau addysgol a chenod'aethol y dref (The educational :.nd national institutions of the town.) He believed they could say that the town was hilly lcpresentatiye of the educational and national life of the nation. (Hear, hear). Her complete scholastic system was the pride and glory of Wales. Her schools enabled the child of the humblest parent ago to climb rung by rung up the educational ladder from the elementary schools to the I intermediate schools, and then to the ITni- vers'it and have the advantage of the best education attainable. At Aberystwyth they had their elementary and intermediate schools, and as far as lie could see both were doing good work and were playing their i pDrt Well in the great educational move- ment. They also had a college, which added a crown to the whole system, and was also :ut institution of which the town was proud. The College was in close touch with the scifoo-ia not merely because it received students from the schools, but because it also trained teachers for those schools. He was soTiy the Principal had been obliged to leave, because he (Mr. Darlington) had a few to say as to the history of the College. The Abe'ystwyth College had one distinction not shared by any other national irst'tution in Wales. Its chief work in the past had been to prepare and train scholars an.1 lenders for the nation. (Hear, hear), They could scarcely think of any man who had' risen to eminence during the past generation, from Tom Ellis down to that splendid scholar and patriot, fr. 0. M. Edwards—who had just been appointed chief inspector of Wales—who had not been a student at Aberystwyth College. (Applause). If there were any who had not been, he be- lieved he could' say with confidence that they would be much more emin- ente had they spent some of their time within the walls of Aber- ystwvth College. (Laughter). If the record of the College in the past had been success- ful. he ventured to say that its future would be more successful still, and lie thought he had good reasons for saying so It was his strosig conviction that they were now standing on the threshold of a new era in the history of Welsh education. They had heard some of the previous speakers refer to the Welsh literary revival, and ho felt convinced that they now stood on the threshold of an intellectual revival, and particularly in connection with the higher education of Wales. A time came :n"the history of every national University when it was not content with being a mere educational institution, but aimed at being a centre for original research It would not content itself with disseminating knowledge ociv, but would set its mind on extending the boundaries of knowledge. There were strong ind:eations that this period had the a; rived in Wales—that they were OJ: the tineshohl of a Celtic literary revival. The w holt* of the civilised world had turned lately to things Celtic, and the old idea that' the keys of knowledge were the sole possession 01 the Teuton ai d the German had vanished. The doojo of knowledge were being opened in eve.y direction, and the fields on all hands weto ripe for the harvest. He was not a prophet or the son of a pro- pnot, but he ventured to say with some amount oi confidence that Aberystwyth would play a large part, in this intellectual revival. Tho National Library would shortly be established in the town. (Rear, hear). 1 here the books and manuscripts would be kept, anil there tho students from every civilised c.untry would come as to an in- tellectual Mecca, to read the great books and to earn renown for themselves and for the town of Alery.,t .vyth as well. (Applause). He was glad to tlunK that Aberystwyth was not only a centre of University education, but also of theological education, and they welcomed to their m-dst the new -let hod est College and the professor s as a valuable acquisition to the intellectual resources of the town. (Applause). Mr. J. H. Davies, who responded to the toast in place of Principal Roberts, who had left to attend a function at the College, paid a. compliment to the work being dono by the elementary and secondary schools in the town in the great movement of Welsh education. Progress, of late, had been very slow in regard to the Welsh National Library, but he believed they would hear good nes1 s about it in a month or two. (Applause). So-ig, "Yn iach i ti Gym.ru," Miss Pollie Jones. Dr. Jenkvn Lewis. Llanon, proposed the tocst of Y Gymde'tbas Gym eig," and they who lived in the ^mntry appre- ciated the efforts of those living in the town of Aberystwyth wh > hid for.nded that Society. The Welsh s-irit had been lack- ing in the +ow u. and he hoped the Society -would o'icceod in imrreusing not only the inhabitants of the t.l' 1 + of Wales generally that the nnt!>>ca] srorit was not a realistic force, but a so-nfimeptnl force. These national instituting could do noth- ing more than creato a hope and confidence in the future of Wales. Tc rouclu^'on, Dr. Lewis uttered a note of v fn-rdrg. He ad- v the members to of the Enghh ó!'I I bacillus, and to keep the Society a thorough- ly Welsh one. (Applause). Prof. Anwyl. in acknowledging. said it was a great pleasure to all of them to see ] such a gathering that night. (Hear, hear). It was a. proof that the national spirit was really alive in the town. He must confess that lie had not the same impression of the town as Dr. Lewis had. He had been resid- ent in the town for nearly fifteen years, and one of the first impressions made on his mind when he came there was that there was so much love for Welsh things in the town, not perhaps on the surface, but under the surface. He remembered the respect felt for If on at the time, and how kindly ether notabilities of the district, among them "leuan Gwyllt" and Dr. Charles Edwards, were spoken of. There was no Welsh Society in the town, but he felt when he came there first that there was plenty of talent m the town to form such a Society, and now they had the pleasure of seeing thciSe talents brought together into one body. Their hope was that the Society, which had began so well, would increase in strength as it went on, and that the Welsh feeling incorporated in it would continue to show itself in a practical and useful way. (Hear, hear). Another thing which had made a deep impression on his mind in con- nection with, the town was that, it was a town which evinced a deep interest in its own history. Nothing gave him greater pleasure than tOI have a conversation with members of some of the old families of the town who knew the history of the town, and he noticed several times the great in- terest they felt in the subject. That was a good sign. True nationalism did not com- mence in the national sphere first of all, but it commenced at home, and that was one of the best signs in connection with that Society. A society such as this could bring that spirit to a practical issue, and it also afforded an opportunity for cultivating the mind, and as a consequence cultivating the minds of each other. The influence of this Society would be felt not only by those of the present generation who were members of it, but by the children of the town as well. ¡ It would be a help to them to remember that the literary and intellectual life was appro- pi iate to their town and country, and they would come to look to that life as some- thing to aspire to, and they would feel proud not. only of the Welsh language, but also of the Welsh spirit. They would also ome to lespect the great men of Wales and the names of those renowned in the history of Wales, and not merely the names of those renowned in English literature. The child- ren of Wales ought not to think that only an Englishman, or a Welshman far enough from Wales, could attain to fame. They ought to be taught that there was such a tl: ing as fame and honour to be won in Wales and in their own neighbourhoods. The Society would be doing a great work if it succeeded in making a Welsh impression on the minds of the children of the town and district. They were thankful to, all well-wishers of the Society, and they would try to show their appreciation by continu- ing to work in the true Welsh spirit. (Applause), The proceedings ended with the singing of Hen Wlad fy Nhadtil, the solo being taken by Councillor T. J. Samuel. BANQUET AT THE TALBOT. The 44th annual banquet in commemora- tion of the Patron Saint or Wales was held at the Talbot Hotel, Aberystwyth on Friday, St. Davids' Day. The piesident was Mr. f. B. Grierson, and the vice-president Mr. R. Jones, Graig Goch, and others present were: Rev C. Evans, vicar, Yspytty Cynfyn Alderman E. P. Wynne, Messrs. R. J. Jones, H. C. Richardes, Hy. Roberts, Maxwell Woods, It. K. Jenkins, J. Montgomery, T. G. Ciements, Hugh Hughes, R. Woithington, Maldvvyn Humphreys, J. Gaunt, J. Williams, F. M. Williams, R. Jones, Herbert Carr, E. Henry, D. C. Owen, Arthur Balderstone, Jas Llees, E. J. Davies, Jas. Lewis, J. P. Savin, G. Stephen Evans, T. Kilvington. etc. A capital repast was placed on the tables, and when it had been disposed of the Chair- man proposed the loyal toasts. Referring to the King, he said that he was beloved everywhere, especially in the town of Aber- ystwyth, where he had taken such an in- terest in coming to open the Pier Pavilion when Prince of Waies, and, no1 doubt, his heart was just the same now that lie was the King. He was the greatest statesman in the world, and essentially so because he was a peacemaker. (Applause). The toast was drunk with fitting honours and loud cheers, and Mr W. Carr sang the National Anthem as a solo Mr. Maldwyn Humphreys simi- larly sang "God Bless the Prince of Wales." Song, Love is Blind/' Mr. E. Henry. 'ihe Chairman gave the toast of the Bishops, Clergy, and Ministers of all de- nominations." In doing so he said the Bistiopt had a big heart, and although they did not agree with him in everything, he was a good fighter and a good Welshman. (Hear, hear). He was also an excellent mathematician, and was a good worker. He proceeded to say that Archdeacon Williams would have been present but for his recent sad affliction, and the Rev. W. Matthews, the Vicar of St. Michael's, was not allowed out at night by his doctor. The Rev. J. E. Lloyd, also, was not able to be present owing to services in connection with St. David's Day. The Rev. G. Eyre Evans particularly asked him to apologise for his absence, and were it not for a. very special engagement he would have been amongst them. He (the chairman) had pressed on his old friend, Mr Penrv, very hard to come to the dinner, and he (Mr. Penry) told him that nothing would have given him greater pleasure, but he would be the vice-president at the Welsh I;o Society's dinner on the same evening at the Waterloo Hotel. Mr. Penrv, he said, was

-=--=.=-- one of the best ministers of any denomina- tion. (Hear, hear). The name of the Rev. Liias. w coupled with the toast. Uuett, "My Heart's Delight," Messrs. ivialciwyn Humphreys and Carr, which was ell cored. The Hev. (has. Evans, in responding, said he was very sorry that he was the only one to respond to the toast. He fancied that he could chum to .>pe,ik for the Bishops, Olcigy, and Ministers, because he had a very large heart, but not a big body—(laughter)— which leally spoke ior all. As for their Bishop, he must certainly say that he did not think that anybody in the diocese, what- ever they may be, could say an unkind word against ium—(Hear, hear)— because in his arguments he was a gentleman eveiy inch, I and lie was glad to say that he had followed in the footsteps of St. David. (Applause). As to the clergy, he was simply a poor re- piesentative, and simply a vicar in an out- of-the-way place; and he did not think he would ever be known unless there was a Parson's Bridge on his property. (Laughter) and applause). As. to the ministers of the different denominations, he had only the best word to say of them. He himself tried to make the world better and so did the ministers, but he was sorry to say there were things which kept them from perform- mg just what their hearts wished to. That was a fact which all did not realise. Let them sympathise with them and do all they could to raise them from that apathy to which they had sunk. They, as Welshmen— hie was a hard-working farmer and a clergy- man on certain thei-e to commemorate St. David's DaJH Let them keep the day in a national an biotherly feeling, and as for the Bishop, he believed he spoke his heart, and for the clergymen he knew he did, when he wished success to St. David's Day. (Applause). The. Rev. Chas. Evans gave the toast of the evening The immortal memory of St. David.' They had, he said, met together under very happy auspices to commemorate the day of their patron saint. St. David. He dared say that most of them looking at him found something wanting, he was not wear- ing a That showed that he was not convinced yet whether it was the leek or the daffodil that they ought to wear on that day He was not going, in proposing the toast of their patron saint, to follow his history. That had been ^peated a thousand times over, and he was sorry to sav in a good many ways very badly. He did not know why Mr. Hughes or Mr. Grierson should make such an effort—and it was an effort he could assure them—to get him that evening to propose, tile toast, unless it was for the fact that he was a native of Llanddeui brefi, unere St. David so successfully withstood and defeated t-uv. PelagL -6 in their schis- matic views. As they weie there to com- morate St. David they ought to uphold his views.

Did they for one moment give a thought why they did so. The toast was drunk in a fitting manner, and the loving cup was passed round, aiter which the secretary read the names ell- graved on the cup. starting with that of I Bonsall in 1880. Songs, by the Rev. Clias. Evans, and "All thro the night," Mr. Fred. Williams. The Chairman gave the Town and Trade of He had hoped that Sir Edward Pryse would have given that toast, but he had written to the lion, secre- tary to say that he regietted he would not be well enough to attend. He was also sorry that Mr. Loveden Pryse could not be present, for, unfortunately, he had met with an accident. He knew something about the trade, and he thought that in the short time that he had been here, few people knew it better, and better business people one could not come across. It was a sur- prise packet for him when he came here; he thought he was coming to a fishing village. He related his. first impressions on arriving at the station in the evening and being driven to the Belle Vue Hotel, after he had enquired whether there was an hotel in the town, and his surprise on going out the next morning. It was a nice clean little town, even if the Town Council was a bit of a grow ling Council; it was better that all should not think alike. Wherever he went he would always think of the town with pleasure. (Applause). He coupled with the toast the names of Alderman E. P. Wynne, Roberts, and Mr. D. C. Owen. Mr. H. Carr sang The Dear little Irish Girl." Alderman E. P. Wynne said he might, perhaps claim to be one of the oldest trades- men in the town present. He regretted very much the falling off of the tradesmen of "the town in attending the St. David's Day dinners. He remembered many years ago when a much larger number attended than had for the past two or three years. He did not know whether it was prosperity or poverty that kept them away. It was right that they should have an opportunity of' meeting once a year to commemorate a day l'ke that dear to the hearts of Welsh- men. He was not a Cardiganshire man, but he was a North Walian. With regard to the trade of the town he thought from the number of what they called "carpet bag gentlemen which they saw about the town now—and one out of every four or five had a carpet bag—that there was prosperity. It was a good sign that there were so many commercial gentlemen coming here. However the trade of the town was not what it was twenty years ago when his friend used to respond for the mining interest. Unfor- tunately, they did not hear of much pros- perity in the mining now. As to the town it was a beautiful little place, but they were not progressing cs fast as they ought. They had a Town Council, and they did their best, but, as the Chairman had said they did a little too much growling there. If they did a little more work and a little less quarrelling it would be better for the town. (Hear, hear). The Chairman was sipending life thousands for the nd his friend Mr. Owen, whose name should have been put first to respond, was spending a lot of money, and he hoped the Town Council would give him a better supply of water. The more pressure put on the Council the sooner he would get it. Mr. n. J. Jones had made an applica- tion tc yuppiy the Gas Company with water. They had refused the Railway Company and now they were going to supply the Gas Com- pany he did not know. Mr. D C. Owen said he ha dbeen in trade in Aberystwyth for fifteen years, and he was born within a strone-throw from where they were then. He had been struggling-- and it had been a struggle—and he hoped the Aberystwyth Town Council would help him out of the struggle by letting him have a supply of water for the property he was developing on the hillside above the town. (Hear, hear). Song, Hope of my Life," Mr. Maldwyn Humphreys. Mr. Hugh Hughes gave the health of the "Chairman." As they had heard when the names on the loving cup were being read, he (the speaker) was chairman of the dinner some twenty years ago; and he had attended, with about one exception every one since then, and he hoped to do so for many more years. He had never found a chairman dis- charge his duties so well and so ably as the present chairman had. He had not resided very long amongst them, but he was a gentleman who had made himself known to the town generally, and he had identified himself with every movement calculated to benefit the town. He had associated him- self with many philanthropic movements in the town, and had endeared himself to everybody who had been brought into con- tact with him. He might mention that were it not for the action of their chairman re- cently they would not then have Aberyst- wJth se'-ved as it was by Ihe Great Western Railway. (Hear hear). He had made great sacrifices to bring about that improvement. Those who knew the Manchester and Mil- ford Railway thirty years ago, and he did, remembered that they were conveyed be- tween Aberystwyth and Tregaron in nothing better than cattle trucks*- They found things very much altered now, and they got better served on that line in many ways than they did on the Cambrian Railways. For that they had to thank the chairman. (Hear, bear). He expressed the hope that he would remain many years among them and join them at that festive board. It was too much to expect a man of his abili- ties and experience to remain for any great length of time, but he was pleased when he heard llim state that he was so well satis- fied and pleaded with the friends he met and with the town that he would carry hannv recollections of the place wherever he went io live. He would go further and express the here tbnt when lie did them, and if he wa- within 1 reasonable distance he would come and join them at future dinners. (Applause). The toast was accorded musical honours and Three time-. three." "Long live the King," by AD-. Maldwyn Humphreys, and song by Mr. Henry. The Chairman, in responding, said he ad- mired the Welsh for the extraordinarily kind way in which they took the hand of a stranger. He was thankful for the kind w ords that had been said about him, and found it difficult to express what he felt. It was pei-fectly true that without his efforts, they would not have had the Great Western Railway there at all, and he could say without contradiction that he had spent slightly over £ 20,000 in the town and dis- trict since 1,905, and he believed the advent of the. G.W.R. was worth a great deal more than that. He referred' to the beautiful new coaches that were not for the first or second class, but for the third class passen- gers, and this, he said, was a step in the right direction for poor little Wales." Bu': for a meeting at Fishguard there might be three railway officials present who could toil them more about it. He concluded by prophesying greater prosperity for the town than any other town in North Wales. (Applause). After more songs and the toasts of the "Vice'-Chairman" and the "Host and Hostess" had been drunk the dinner con- cluded in the usual manner. Mr. Stephen Evans, A.R..C.O., accompan- ied the songs.

t. David's Day at Ediiiburgh The Edinburgh Welsh Debating Society held their annual St. David's Day dinner at the Carlton Hotel. A large number assembled together, and the company were honoured by the presence of Mr. Lynn Thomas, C.B. F.R.C.S., Cardiff, High Sheriff of Cardiganshire; Mr. J. M. Cot- terill, F.R.C.S.E., Edinburgh; Thos. J. Jehu M.A., M.D., B.S?., F.G.S. St. Andrews: Mr. D. Llewelyn Williams, t<\R.C.S.E., D.P.H., medical officer of health, Wvexnam, and Mr. Thomas Jones, M.A., Glasgow University (formerly of Rhymney). Mr. Lloyd Hughes (Llanfairfechan), pre- sided in a most fitting manner, and deliver- ed a speech full of Welsh fire and zeal. whicli gave to the meeting from start to finish a high and cultured tone. As an old student, a hearty welcome was extended to Dr. Llew. Williams, Wrexham. In hi- response to. the toast of St. David, Dr. Williams emphasised the need or educat- ing the masses to utilise the means bestowed by nature for the preservation of health. It is surprising, he said', how miserably some of the slum people of large towns lived. Wallowing in p dirt and filth, not because of their social circumstances, but simply fropn laziness and ignorance. _\1r. Thomas Jones, M.A.. of Glasgow University, submitted -the toast of Ein Hiaith, Kin Gwlad. Ein Cenedl.' Speaking first in Welsh, and then in English, Mr. Jones said that the toast reminded him of one of the old Welsh triads Tri pheth y dylai t/yimro eu caru o flaen dim: cenedl y Cymry, defodau y Cymry, ac iaith y Cymry." The country and the language existed for the sake Off the nation. Those among, them who had lived for some years away from Wales were, perhaps, able to judge their nation's strength] and weakness aomtewhat more truly than those who lived at home. Contact with the lives of other peoples brcught national features intoi relief, and placed them in proper perspective. No one people had a monopoly of good qualities, and he did not desire, though it was St. David's Day, to exalt the Welsh by disparaging other nations or by shutting one's eyes to our own defects. He could not help feeling that in spite of the ma,infold activities of the Welsh people in educational and religious, matters those. activities had not yet been sufficiently informed and permeated by a great national purpose. The boy grew up into manhiood, through the family, the school, the chapel, the coalpit, the football field and the news- paper, and all these interests—not the chapel oiily-b-ore, the marks of sectarianism. I They were not fused in an intense national consciousness which gave unity of aim to a variety of energies, which inspired all J efforts making for good citizenship. A true I democracy would be. animated by one will manifesting itself in a thousand ways. One of these ways would be the political. There was no lading the fact that so long as the Welsh members of Parliament showed such a h'.ck of cohesion and purpose amongst themselves one of the most effective instru- ments for expressing and developing the mission of the nation would be wanting. Something had gone out of Welsh political life with the passing of Tom Ellis which had never returned. Changes in the industrial framework of society were going on silently and almost unheeded, which would deeply affect the inner life of Wales—changes which called urgently for more organised studyr than could be given by an individual or a society here and there. The whole mind of the nation should be brought to bear upon them. The influx of summer tourists, the decline in rural population, the flocking to the mining valleys were three movements which «ere bound to affect the quality of national character. In the South, the haste to get coal made the building up of a worthy social order immensely difficult; in the North, the desire to please visitors and to profit by them had far-reaching reactions. Coal was given for the support of life, but now V-. e found life sacrificed for the sake of coal. These movements could not be arrest- ed, but some attempt should be made to regulate them and, to subordinate them to higher ends than those of any class, eager for immediate gain and heedless of far-off loss. The speaker went on to refer to the examples of state-building set by the Prus- sians and the Danes, and appealed to the many young medical men present to take a courageous part in the work of social bettar- ment, and not to drift into the besetting sin of routine and contentment with things as they are. Mr. Jones' speech was delivered in ex- cellent style and taste, and was listened to throughout with rapt attention, being punc- tuated from time to time by prolonged cheers and loud applau se. All felt highly honoured by the presence of Mr. Lynn Thomas, C.B., Cardiff, Wales's foremost surgeon. Dr. Thomas, in respond- ing to the toast of "E.:n hiaith, ein gvvlad, ein cenedl," expressed his pleasure at being able to be present and recalled how often tho late Prof. Alfred Hughes had spoken to him of the pleasant St. David's Day cele- brations he had enjoyed in Edinburgh. In a thorough patriotic speech Dr. Thomas urged the medical students at Edinburgh to place before them as their aim. and ambition the lives of Prof. Hughes and Dr. Tom Jones, Manchester, who had sacrificed their lives on the altar of their King and country. Dr. Jehu of St. Andrews, delivered an in- spiring address, bristling with quotations from Welsh authors, and pointed out the necessity of continuing the poetic and im- aginative Welsh character with the dogged perseverance and determination of the Scotch. Such a, blend would prove the finest type of man the world could ever produce. Mr. Cotterill, Edinburgh, one of the sur- geons of the Royal Infirmary, also expressed his pleasure at being present. He said he had never received anything but kindness from the Welsh people-no place was dearer to his heart than Mon mam Cvmnl" and no scenerv delighted his eve more than the hills of Ai-von. He advised the students I present to make the best of their advantages,

SKETCII OF PARLIAIMH THE NEW ARMY SCHEME. MR. HALDANE'S RECORD SPEECH. GUll, OWN Lobbyists.] For exactly three hours and six minutes by the clock Mr. Haldane, Minister for War, ad- dressed the House of Commons on Monday. He was presenting to Parliament and to the country his great Army scheme, the result of twelve months of clear thinking he allotted himself when ho took office. Mn Haldane's exposition was sufficiently clear and lucid to put his plan, plainly before Members, though the ordeal of a three hours' speech—the record for this Parlia- ment—was more than most of them could sup- port. The War Minister, therefore, did not SiI- suro for himself the audience which the import- ance of his statement deserved. It will be con- venient to give a summary of the proposals as the War Minister explained them. His new Armv consists of two lines: (1) Field' or Expedi- tiomirv Force. (2) Territorial' Force (being the reorganisation of the Volunteers, Yeomanry, and Militia into a homogeneous whole). There will be a non-Regular Reserve or Special Con- tingent of 78,500. The Field Force will consist or six divisions. four cavalry brigades. or 160.000 officers and men, available for immediate mobilisation, instead of 80,000, as hitherto, The Militia, principle of county organisation, worked bv Territorial Associations," will govern the new Home Force. Each county will be expected to supply its quota. Existing material, about 300.000 of all ranks of existing Auxiliary Forces, will be utilised for the purposes of the new organisation. The Field Artillery will bo constituted of 125 four-g.un bat- teries, with a corresponding proportion of howitzers and heavy guns, as in the Expedi- tionary Force. The Yeomanry wiil constitute the cavalry of the new force. The Territorial Force will be organised into fourteen fully- equipped and complete infantry divisions (each consisting of three brigades) and fourteen ca n'llrv brigades. One major-general, a general Ftaff officcr. and an administrative staff officer will be appointed to each division. Thus the Territorial Force will, Mr. Haldane claims, be scientificallv organised into a self-containcd fight- ing nrmv. "available for the expansion of the Ex- peditionary Force by complete units when re- quired and for homo defence. The main principles laid down by the Secre- fary for War were that in future instead of three lines of troops the country would have two—the first line composed of the Regular troops, the second of the Auxiliary forces. The second line iR to be organised on the divisional basis, with its own equipment and supplies, capable of movement in coherent bodies independently. Recruits for the citizen Army are to be en- listed for four years, and if they choose to re- engage, will form a Reserve of trained men for their battalions. Mr. Haldane is to be congratulated on the re- ception accorded to his scheme. Although ) belief in the Blue Water principle, and his dee ? to cut down expenditure might have been c pected to expose him to the attacks of the critics, the skill with which he has contrived to combine an increased efficiency with a. lesser expenditure loaves no ground for complaint—at least, so far as the theorv is concerned. Mr. Arnold-Forster, however, had his doubts as to whetther the practice would justify the theory, and Sir Charles Dilke would not promise his support to the schemo until he knew how the transition would be effected. The general feeling was, notwith- standing. not unfavourable to Mr. Haldane's pioposals. He had fortified himself behind the officials of his department. It was" a soldiers' Budget," and expert soldiers had already approved of every detail. As was anticipated, Mr. McKenna's bill, in- troduced on Tuesday, to settle the passive re- sistance trouble provides that school-managers shall be surcharged with a portion of the teachers' salaries equivalent to the cost of de- nominational instruction. There is, however, one important difference between the provisions of the measure and the state of the law in- terpreted by the Court of Appeal in the West Riding case. Instead of the cost of denomina- tional instruction being assessed separately, Mr. McTCenna has calculated that on an average it is equal to one-fifteenth of a teacher's salary, and this average he proposes, must be sur- charged in each case. In this way a fruitful cause of dispute would be removed. Mr. Bal- four opposed the bill on the gound that it would tend to promote passive resistance on the part of Church people and Roman Catholics. It would make parents belonging to the latter de- nominations pay for Covvper-Temple teaching, which satisfied some people but failed to satisfy them, w they would havp to pay twice over to secure the teaching of the religion they pre- ferred. Religious peace, he contended, could not be established on sir h a bar-i?. The first reading of the bili was grafted by a majority of 264 to 1C9. An interesting debate on the Chinese Ordi- nance took place in Committee of Supply. Cap- tain Craig drew attention to the item of £22,000 for tho repatriation of coolies, and contended that the Government's promises had not been fulfilled. Two Liberal Members, Mr. Mack- arncss and Mr. John Ward, expressed dissatis- faction with the inadequate action of the Gov- ernment. The latter believed the country would have been willing to go to any expense to clear out the Chinese bag and baggage. Mr. Winston Churchill replied that the Government never in- tended a general exodus of the coolies under the State-aided repatriation scheme. They only sought to provide an emergency exit for those of them who were unable to purchase their dis- charge, but who wished to escape from the con- ditions of life on the Rand. About 1.500 coolies had applied for repatriation since the issue of the proclamation, and 750 had been repatriated under its provisions. Some of the remainder had been repatriated under other provisions of the Ordinance, or at the expense of their em- ployers, while others had purchased their dis- charge. Mr. Lyttelton took the opportunity to point out that only 1 per cent. of these poor unhappy Chinese bondmen had replied to the invitation to return home in steam yachts at the expense of the British Government." Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman received a, warm welcome on his return to the House on Tuesday after his illness. There can be no deny- ing that "C.-B." has won, not only the loyalty, but the affection of his followers, and the cheers which resounded through the chamber had a heartiness and spontaneity which testified elo- quently to that fact. The relief of the distress existing in the West of Ireland was the subject of a question ad- dressed by Mr. Dillon to the Irish Secretary in the House of Commons on Wednesday, and in reply to his query concerning the steps to be taken by the Government, Mr. Birrell stated that the Under-Secretary for Ireland had started for the West of Ireland to find out for himself the state of affairs, and he was awaiting his re- port, which was expected shortly. Mr. McKenna informed Mr. Meysey Thompson that he hoped next week to bring before the House a new Education Bill. which should include the non- controversial clauses of the measure passed by the House last year. The traditional Nonconformist feeling1 on be- half of disestablishment found expression in a motion by Mr. Everett on Wednesday. He ad- vanced the usual arguments, proposmg to dis- establish and disendow the Church of England in the interests alike of religion and of the nation." Another East Anglian Liberal, Mr. Goddard, seconded the motion. Sir John Ken- nav.ay moved an amendment, which was, how- ever, practically a direct negative. He asked the House to affirm" that the passing of any measure to destroy the national position which the Church of England has held for so many centuries, and to secularise her ancient endow- ments, would grievously impede her great and growing work for the spiritual and social wel- fare of the people, and would be a serious blow to the cause of religion and morality in the nation." He pointed out that Parliament had not established the Church, it had merely sanc- tioned her constitutions, doctrine, and liturgy as drawn up by her own representatives. He was supported by a Liberal Member. Mr. Har- wood. Mr. Austin Taylor would not lend hia support to either the motion or the amend- ment. He did not want disestablishment, but he believed it could not be avoided if the ritua- lising tendencies within the Church did not cease. Mr. Binell, though he warmly sup- ported the motion on his own behalf, explained that the Government could not assume any re- sponsibility for it, because their hands were al- ready verv full. His speech put the Noncon- .uruf1::Hi {JU;on"JIl WIH, ucimiraDie Clearness ancl force. After Sir Alfred Thomas had announced that the Welsh Members would cordially sup- port the resolution, the amendment was put and defeated by 206 to 93, the motion being carried by 198 to 90. In the House of Lords the Archbishop of Can- terbury called attention to the importation and sale of intoxicating liquor in West Africa, especi- ally in Lagos and Nigeria. The extension of the railway had increased the facilities for the cir- culation of liquor in Northern Nigeria in spite of the prohibition laws. Lord Elgin pointed out that this country had already taken the lead in protecting the natives from the effects of the traffic by the restrictions put up-an it Owing to the contiguity of the territory of other Powers internatioaal action was essential to success. The present import duty agreed to at the Inter- national Conference of 100 francs per hectolitro waa equivalent to 4s. 3d. per gallon proof strength, and that the British duty was in excess of that amount. They had also acted on the principle of prohibition in those districts wheito the trade was not yet established. Northern Nigeria was one of them, and it was the Govern- ment's intention to maintain prohibition thera The Government did not think the railway would be need as his Grace suggested. The principal business on Thursday waa the sumption of the debate on the Army Estim-9 A Liberal Member, Captain Kincaid-Smith 4^, of the 9th Lancers, approved of the terr. k scheme, but advised Mr. Haldane to lea Regular Army alone, because there was n4 wrong with it—a suggestion which was g with Ministerial laughter. Mr. Winston O -sed ill pointed to the great economies veil, had been effected, but although these implt n menttl were not yet complete he declared it as impossible to reduce Army expenditure to the figure at which it stood in 1896-7. On being interrupted by Ministerial cries of "Why? Why?" Mr. Churchill said the increased pay of the troops and other improvements in organisa- tion had made it impo^ible. As regards the new scheme, laying it down that a governing consideration of Army policy was the annual quota of efficient recruits of a proper standard which could be obtained in any one year, he pointed out that whereas Mr. Brodrick's scheme required 40.000 recruits a year, and Mr. Arnold- Forster's 31.600, Mr. Haldane's scheme would require only 22,000. which was well within the limit of 25,000, which was the normal annual pro- duction in this country. The diminished demand for recruits would give the Secretary for War a higher selective power than his predecessors^ and consequently there would be a gain of efficiency throughout the Army, which, thousrii smaller on paper, would' be stronger when mobilised for wan Mr. Balfour, however, was the prmc-ipal critic. He spoke at this stage because Mr. Arnold- Forster was absent through illness. The Leader of the Opposition gave expression to the general Opposition view, in every sense of the word, in regard to the Militia. Whilst admitting they could not be left in their present position, he would not willingly contemplate the abolition ol a force with such a glorious history. They ought to he adapted to modern requirements. fT" considered that Mr. Haldane had also threat- ened to abolish the Volunteers. True, he had promised them another force which would no doubt be far bettor-it he could get it. He ridiculed the suggestion that the six months training for Volunteers immediately war brokfl out would act as a cooling draught for ilie wat fever. If they could have such a training fof six months before war was threatened, he de- clared. amidst laughter, there misrht be some- thing in the argument. Mr. Haldane said that when he took up the Militia question he was of dr. Balfour's opinion, but some months of study had led him to his present, position. Referring ro the Volunteer artillery, which Mr. Balfour had aid was to be too much depended on, he pointed out that while he did not assume so great an efficiency on their part as on that of ihe Regulars, the. would be served by the very nick of the Volunteers, men whose ambition it would be to be equal to the Regulars. Mr. Keir Hardie regarded the whole scheme with suspicion, believing that. it would strengthen the spirit of militarism, thereby increasing the risk of wars, and hindering social reform. The vote was agreed to. The sitting of the House of Lords on Thursday was the longest of the week, lasting just over two and a-half hours. The Australian States restitution Bill passed through Committee ".riihout alteration; the Earl of C'amperdown se- nred a return shewing the dates when Govern- i ment bills and bills introduced by private Mem- bers and subsequently adopted by the Govern- ment had been brought to the Lords from the other House during the present and last three preceding Parliament; and Lord Leigh was in- formed that the Government could not give effect during the present session to the recom- mendations of the Royal Commission on London Traffic. Fridav was a children's day, two bills for the benefit -of the scholars in elementary day schools being discussed by the Commons. Mr. Ramsey Macdonald moved the second reading of the c Scottish Provision of Meals Bill, urging that there was not a single piece of evidence in favour of the English billpassedlast session which could not have been produced from Scotland twofold. Another Labour Member. Mr. Wilkie, seconded. Sir Henry Craik moved the rejection of the measure on the ground that it would weaken parental responsibility, as well as sweep away those charitable efforts which were doing so much and might do more. Mr. Harold Cox seconded the rejection. Dr. Macnamara and Mr. Sinclair, however, both supported it. The- former contended that it was the charitable- system which was emasculating parental re- s v., sponsibility. The Secretary for Scotland, defin- ing the attitude of the Government, said they were in favour of the principle of. the bill, an(i would assl" t to the second reading, although they might propose amendments in committee. The motion for rejection was defeated by 2Z7 tOo 52, and the second reading agreed to. Pressed by Mr. Balfour, Mr. Sinclair said the Govern- ment could not make known whether they would adopt the measure until they knew the final form it would a- -ne. They would iake every step to see that they were properly represented on the Standing Cur.mu'tee. Tc^ second read- ing of the Education Acts Amc dment Bill was carried without opposition Its object is the establishment of vacat- i schools and other means of recreation, and also for medical in- spection of the children. It does not apply to Scotland. Mr. WaIterHea moved the second reading, and Mr. Parker seconded it, while Mr. Lough, on behalf of the Government, supported it. Its clauses were taken from the Education bill of last session. Sir Walter Foster intro- duced a bill to amend the law relating to the qualification and tenure of office of medical officers of health and sanitary inspectors and a bill to facilitate the building of houses for the working-classes in rural districts. Each was read a first time. J.

March Skin Troubles. WHY ZAM-BUK IS SPECIALLY NEEDED IN LATE WINTER AND EARLY SPRING. h r' March is a very critical month for tho skin. It fights against big odds all through the winter, and the odds are bigger just now because of the trying weather and because the first crop of Spring pimples and nasty eruptions may be expected—unless the skin is protected and corrected by Zam-Buk. A little thought will show you why ceil the strongest man or woman needs Zam- Buk. During the cold speli the vitality of rlie skin has been lowered—first, by the weight and friction of heavy clothing; second, by lack of fresh air; third, by the numbed, "sleepy" condition of the glands which should give the skin its natural oil baths; and fourth, by underfeeding—the blood has not been circulating freely enouglil near the surface. Zam-Buk gives proper moisture and a workable flexibility to the tissues, and in- duces the blood to circulate better. Thus the outer skin gets properly fed. normal activity and strength are restored, and the whole tissue is made sound and strong. March winds are now powerless to hurt; and blotches, pimples, or sores, usually so common in Spring, ate either quickly cured or entirely avoided. The Zam-Buk protective and corrective skin treatment: i.s ideal because it is natural, and natural because Zam-Buk is made up only of Nature's vegetable saps and juices. Don't inciease the odds against your skin by resorting to coarse, fatty ointments and cold creams, or linaments and embrocations containing poisonous minerals. They often have a distinctly harmful effect. and in no case do they accomplish real and lasting good, as Zam-Buk undoubtedly does. In advanced stages of skin-disease Zam- Buk destroys germs, acts as a powerful' an- tiseptic, kills pain, allays irritation, takes out inflammation, expels even the. most deep- seated causes, and finally grows new v i j^hv skin over the worn-out parts..It in every liorne.
