The Annual Sunday Schools Tea-parties. ENGLISH CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH. The annual tea and entertainment of the English Congregational Band of Hope was held on Wednesday afternoon. Tea was laid at 5 o'clock. The little ones did ample justice to the splendid spread and for an hour afterwards indulged in out-door games. The following ladies served the youngsters at the table:—Mrs Glandvvr Morgan, Mrs Kershaw, Mrs Walter Davies, Mrs Ellis Evans, Miss J. R. Adams, Miss Rothwell, Miss Snow, Miss Walker, Miss Maud Felstead. In the entertainment, presided over by the Pastor (Rev. W. Glandwr Mor- gan), in his opening remarks said :— During the last nine years he had splen- did help in conducting the Band of Hope. Mrs Kershaw bad been a faith- ful Secretary, in all weathers, storm and calm, she was at her post, and helped the temperance cause by distributing the good literature she gave them from time to time (cheers). Mr Pugh Evans bad also done his utmost to teach them their temperance hymns and songs. The hymns they sang that evening were most new from books presented to them by Mr Kershaw, and Mr Pugh Evans had worked to teach them the rousing tunes (cheers). Mrs William O'Neill was the first accompanist, whom they missed very much that evening, but Miss Maud Felstead bad for the last few years taken on the duties, she was a child of the Band of Hope, and through much bard work bad become an efficient accompanist. Mts Morgan, Ballymacora, and Mr Walter Davies, Compton Stores, bad this year again defrayed the whole cost of the splendid tea and cake they bad enjoyed, and hearty cheers were given the donors for their treat. Mr Walter Davies very aptly respon- ded, and said the evening's entertain- ment was a great credit to the Officers of the Band of Hope. It was a great pleasure to be there. We were sorry Mrs Morgan, Ballymacora, was not with them, but they all rejoiced to know Mr Morgan was better and soon both would be in their midst again.

Mr Gol.Caniateweli i mi draethu Uith fechan ar y mater sydd dan sylw er's amryw fisoedd bellach. 'Rwyf wedi darllen yn eich newyddiadur o dro i dro helynt y Llcmaber Road, a'r cwestiwn i ni, fel trethdalwyr, ydyw beth sydd wrth wraidd yr helynt hwn ? Ai tybed nad oes yna rywlbetb heblaw yr hyn ydym ni, y cyhoedd, yn ei ddeall ? Ai tybed fod aelodau sydd ar y",Cyngbor Dinesig hwn yn dogs; yn y manger, ac yn cadw gweithwyr y wlad allan o waith ac allan o fara-j-r-digQUi o ftutt yn y cwpwrdd oud ni cbaiff y gweitbiwr tlawd ond edrych arno o bell, as yn marw o newyn. Ai nid yw yn bosibi cael eglurhad o'r dir- gelwch rhyfedd hwn ? A oes yma rag- farn am mai yr hen wron caredig, Mr Greener, sydd yn synyg y tir yn rhad ac am ddim? I Ai tybed pe bu Ilsai yrhen foneddwr yn cynyg arian i't- Cyngbot- am gymeryd y tir, a fuasent yn ei dderbyn ? Braidd 'rwyf yn tybied na fuasent. Os yw yr hyn wyf wedi glywed yn wirion- edd, nid yw yn gofyn am un cyfnewidiad am yr rhodd rhad mae yn ei roddi o dir at ledu y ffordd, ond gofyn yr un peth yn hollol a pbob treLbdaIwr arall, ac i'r byn y mae y Cynghor Sirol yn talu swm mawr o arian bob blwyddyn, sef cadw y ffordd yn lan a'i watro yr un modd a pbob rban arall o'r Bermo. Ai of yn unig sydd yn gofyn ? Nage, yr ydym ni oil sydd yn byw yn y rhan ogleddol yn gofyn yr un peth. Nid wyf yn cofio i mi weled y rhan- barth hwn o'r ffordd yn cael ei glanhau ond rbyw unwaith yn y flwyddyn, ac am ei ivatro Did wyf wedi ei gweled erioed ond gan y gwlaw o'r nefoedd. Ai tybed nad all y Cynghor Dinesig stopio hwnw ? Gallant, yn sicr, gan y maent yn ddynion mor bwysig, fel mae gan- ddynt awdurdod ar boll elfenau y grea- digaeth fawr i gyd, ac y maent yn rhag- orol am fygu pob llwyddiant trefol. A'i tybed fod yn rhaid gwrthod y rhodd hon i ledu y ffordd am mai Mr Greener sydd yn ei rhoddi ? Gwrthod- wyd rhyw bedair blynedd yn ol, fel y mae yn wybyddus i ni oil, rodd o £2,500 at wneyd sea ivall. Beth oedd yn ofyn yn gyfnewid, dim ond rhyw ychydig o dir ar Ian y mor. Beth yw bwnw werth heddyw ? Ha, gyd drethdahvyr, a yw yr ysbryd bwn yn parhau ? Os yw, gadewch i ni ei symud. Nid oes culni i fod ar gynghor gwlad. "Hands off, my boys'" Progress and improvements.

OUR WOUNDED ALLIES, Among the organisations for helping suf- ferers in the war the Wounded Allies Relief Committee is doing a notable work. The scope of its operations in indicated by its title, and it works in the closest co-operation with the British and Allied Governments. It has placed thousands of wounded Belgians in hospitals and homes, and it extends support to a num- ber of institutions in France. A motor-ambu- lance unit is now on service with the Belgian Army, and a special appeal is made for help- ing forward the work in hospitals immedi- atelv behind the firing line, where proper emergency treatment is invaluable in saving many lives. Other features of the work are the provision of training and employment homes for the disabled, the supply of artificial limbs, and the care of wounded on leaving hospital. There is no other representative organisation, which assists the sk, wounded, and crippled soldiers of all the Allies. Subscriptions, how- ever small, will be gratefully acknowledged on being sent to Lord Swaythling, No. 2, Grand Hotel, Trafalgar-square, London, S.W,
DOLGELLEY RESIDENT S GRATITUDE.
DOLGELLEY RESIDENT S GRATI- TUDE. Purely one of gratitude, and with the wish that others may profit by her experience, a resident of our neighbour- ing town, Dolgelley, authorises the publication of the following. Mrs C. Roberts, of 3, Arran Bridge, Dolgelley, says :—" I have been troubled now and again with a nasty pain across my back, no doubt arising from kidney disorder. I have taken Doan's backache kidney pills, and am glad to say I have found them very good^for I am better in my back and they have brightened me up, too, I have recom-mended Doan's pills to others, and shall certain- ly do so again. (Signed) C. Roberts. Uric acid poison left in the system by weak kidneys causes lumbago, rheumat- ism, gravel, disorders of the urinary system makes you feel dull,, heavy, tired and:miserable, and leads to fatal disease if neglected. Doan's backache kidney pills act directly on the kidneys and bladder, bringing quick relief, and ensuring the poisonous uric acid and waste water being removed before they have time to set up disease or irritation in the body. Price 2/9 a box, 6 boxes 13/9, of all dealers, or from Foster-McClellan Co., 8, Wells Street, Oxford Street, London, W. Don't ask for backache or kidney pills,-asl-- distinctly for Doan's backache kidney pills, the same as Mr Roberts had.
