THE SMASHED UP BAND —————— ??—————— Lady Howard's Story of Early S.A. Days. Mr* "Gelleral" Booth visited TjlaneJIy on Sunday and conducted successful meet- ings at Hangar's Theatre.

They thought they had done for the Salvation Army. That was a long time ago; she i--niild not ay how long—(laughter)—but looking to-day at the Salvation Army we could see that God was for it. Let them give Mrs. Hooth a welcome and abow her that they knew about her work and what th, Salvation Army had done. Mrs. Booth said Rome people hardly rcrUTaed even now the international character of the Salvation Army. They thought we were an English concern; they had no idea that it had become part of the life of the nations themselves, and that it wa'3 not only an English mision.

r PAMTYCELYM. "J. J.r LECTURE AT THE SWANSEA UB8ABY Despite the inclemency of the weather, & audience assembled at the Swan- sea Library on Saturday evening, to hear a lecture om the Rev. William Williams, of Pantyodyn, the sweet singer of Wales. Storms of rain did not deter residents ot the town and suburbs, who are seldom seen out on Saturday nights, from making the journey; and they were well-rewarded for the Rev. J. J. Williams, the poet- pastor of the Tabernacle, Morrieton, was in really great form. His voice could be heard in every part of the building, and iLhA storm of Wekh oratory, in unison with the storm outside, made majiy feel thankful to the Public Library Committee for arranging such a feaet of reason and dow of soul in the delightful tongue of old Wales. I THE OLD FARMHOUSES I The chair was taken by Alderman Jno. I Jordaji, who introduced the lecturer in a brief speech. J.J." denned Williams. of Pantycolyn as the greate.t spiritual SNUus oi the Cymry; and &o familiar had hie hymns become that there was 6,,iuo danger of over uae and ipeaningla,,s over- quotatdon. Wales tacked monuments to the memory of its great men—though Lord Rhondda had, witli rare public spirit, bo- ga.n to remove the reprx,.eh-aD-ti pilgrim- age to the birthplaces and homo of celebrated characters wore not ao common as they ought to b* It \as sadd of the late Ap Vychan that he epent bie youth in begging for bread, while later it was found that: the very rock which towered abovo his birthplace in Merionethshire w<M streaked with a vein of gold. 'Die name of the old farmhouse of Panty- celyn. Dfr Llandovcry, had in its aAsocia- tion as William Williama's birthplaM, become as 8aCroo to th..> Welsh people as the most hallowed shrines of Bible lands. Pantycelyn"—what & wealth of spiritual meaning it conveyed' Sir Owen Edwards had eaid eome time ago that he regarded Cwrnrhydyceirw ("The Valley of the Stag's Ford") near Morriston, as the most poetical pla-e-name in Wales, It may be so, hut in spiritual associations it would not fompare with the PtLnty- eelyn" of Welch hymnology. THE TURNING FOtNT. Wm.Williajns was born near Cefnarthefl' in 1717. Little was knonrn of his early years—aomo people were aJways curious as to a niiiii's origin, his boyish escapades, etc. All they knew of the hymnologist wus that at eighteen he went to a di-,L--tilt school to prepare for the medical prof sion, being at that time a member of the icligious society that met at CefnartJien. This society was evidently one of the strongest in Wales, for it had at the same time three spiritual pastors, who dio'ered diametrically in their views of the five ? y! That %,as a period points of theology! That was a period when the controversieR that afterwards took the form of denominational barriers raged tempestuously through the eca.b- t<;fed churches. His experience of these divisions probably had something to do with WilMams's entrance into the com- munion of the Established Church some time later. Coming home from school through the village of Talgarth, his pro- gress was arrested by the voice of Ifowel Harris addressing and swaying with his powerful oratory a great crowd in tho virago churchyard. The young medical student could not choose but hear, and descending from his horse joined the assembly. This was the turning point of Lia life, for the healing of disease gave way io a passion for winning souls. 4.QM SACRED VERSES The lecturer traced his cai'oer as a cerate at LJanwrtyd and Abergwessm, ajid the later association with the fathers of CtLlvini&tic Methodism. The meeting at the hosue of JeCrey Davies of Llanddeu- sant was recalled. and the adjudkcltion on the hymns prepared by various leaders, when Howel Karris proclaimed Wil.liams as the greatest of all hymn writers. ("Wil bia'r emyn.") He wrote over 4,000 eacred verses, travelled all over Wales, and shone as a great preacher, though in that age the oratorical power of Daniel Row- lands of Llangedtho was so gl'OO.t that the fame of every other minister was ovc.r- borDC. Mentioning tbo marnage of the hymn- writer to a rich lady. the lecturer recalled the Rev. John MeNeiI being t (whiie addre&sing a meeting in Ca.rdin' Exchange) by a man on tw. edge of tho c"owd. Questions had been asked for, and this man kept on putting the query: Who was Me Not} turned to him ai last with the retort: I d<m't think much of a persoal who an intM'€3t ui anothetT man's wife."

The people of Wales had never been at l one in the selection of a Prince, whether in the realms of civil government, theo- logy, peltry, pres, or pulpit. But in hymnology, they recognised hut one. The Methodist: forgot Iii,,q conf('ion of f.T.ith, the abandoned his inde- pan;ed in lus Thren yKir?' circuit, ;llld th<?

Cordial votes of thanks to the lecturer é\.nd the chairman brought a memorable meeting to a close.

For overworked or worn out kidneys use J)oan's Backache Kidney Pills. They give the kidneys new strength to pet rid of uric poisons. Help the kidneys and the medicine, too. by eating less, avoiding overwork and worry, and get- ting more exercise and sleep. Then the benefit will lart.

THE COMB AT WORK. 25's for Trenches; 41's for Benches. Speaking at Great Bridge, StaCs. ott Saturday, Colonel Norton Grimthe said that the solution of our man-power diQi- culty lay in (lie automatic enlistment of all men under 25. Wh<)I(-Ae badging must be topped, and the umbrella under which so many yrung men were sheltering must be destroys!. It was wicked to send men of 41 while so many young men stayed behind. It was a young man's war. Wo wanted the 25*s for the trenches and the 41's for the benches. In an interesting intervtew Mr. Grimtna this war is to bo terminated by the end of next year at the earli<'Kt, you will not only have to take every man up to the a?e of 25. but you will have to in- creas the age limit up to 45, the older men replacing younger Roldiers who ara em-p!<),ved in various units, such as the A.S.C.. Army Clothing Department, aoi. I di.er servants. Army Pay Department, and m;)ny other such unitp. r. Norton Griffiths will ask Mr. Llo7d Georg'e in <he ff<)uge of Commons whether he is aware that there are a number of men between the age3 of 41 and 45 who are desirous of joining the Army for active service: and whether, as many of such men are physically efncient, he can see his way to al!ow those who desire to volunteer tw attest in the usual way.
