During the first six months, as was anticipated, the business was not remunerative, and a loss was incurred of £ 51 9s 6d, and, during the second period of three months, a loss of £14 6s was also incurred, mak- ing a total loss on the profit and loss account of X65 15s 6d for the six months. During the se- cond period of six months, from January to July, 1915, marked improvement had been recorded, the half-year's accounts showing a profit of X20 12s 4d, reducing the adverse balance for the year to £ 36 3s 2d.

The pastor (Rev. J. J. Jones. B.A., and the Rev. T. How at. B.A., also took part, but the visit of the distinguished mis- sioner is due to the indefatigable effort of our es- teemed townsman. Mr D. Jones, J.P.. Brnyhvfryd, to whom the district owes a debt of gratitude. The work of Mr Studd is purely non-sectarian, but evangelical. He has laboured for years in China- and India, and finally in the heart of Africa.
