ST. NICHOLAS. ''I FEAR MY CHILD WILL NEVER GET WELL," said a fond mother, Don't be disheartened, replied a neighbour, Try a course of Gwilym Evans' Bitters, it has cured many, when all other means had failed. There is nothing like it for strengthening the weak and bracing up the system."—See advb.

CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOUR CON- VENTION AT BARRY. The meetings in connection with the Annual Convention of the Welsh National Union of Christian Endeavour, a full report of which appeared in the Barry Dock News last week, we're continued at Hoi ton-road English Baptist Chapel, Barry Docks, on Thursday last. THE ANNUAL MEETING. The annual meeting of the Union was held in the afternoon, when the chair was occupied by the Rev T. Richards, Newport, the president. The proceedings were opened by the Rev Ben Evans. In the absence of the Secretary, Mr E. J. Powell, Newport, the Rev A. J. Jenkins, Newport, pre- sented the annual secretarial report, which showed that the number of societies in connection with the Welsh Union last year was 355, with a member- ship of 17,163, an increase compared with the previous year of 17 societies, and a membership of 2,228. One of the chief aims of the movement was church co-operation, and a good proportion of the members last year entered into full church fellow- ship. In 1899-1900, 363 associate members joined the church in 1900-1, 491 and in 1901-2, 702, making a total in three years of 1,564. The work done under the auspices of the Union last year was very satisfactory, more particularly in relation to missionary work. The denominational constitution of the Union showed that there was one society each with the Wesleyan Methodists and Society of REV. J. H. WILLIAMS, BRIDGEND, THE NEW PRESIDENT OF THE UNION. Friends, eight with the Bible Christians, fourteen with the Undenominational Missions, 16 with the United and Primitive Methodists, 95 with the Calvinistic Methodists and Presbyterians, 108 with the Congregationalists and Independents, and 120 with the Baptists. Gratification was expressed at the growing interest and participation in endeavour work by the students of denominational colleges. Reference was made to the recent visit of the father of the movement, Dr Clarke, of Portland, U.S.A., to Cardiff; and satisfaction was felt at the growing interest in C.E. work by the Welsh churches. There were four vacancies on the National Executive, and the result of the ballet showed that the following were elected for the ensuing three years :—Mr E. J. Powell, Newport, Mon.; Rev Silas Charles, Cardiff; Mrs Watkin Williams, Cardiff; and Miss C. A. Miles, Cardiff. The President thanked the Conference for the support he had received during his year of office. He emphasised the importance of deep intellectual conviction in connection with Christian work. Now, at the dawn of a new century, it was necessary that men and women should be possessed of a sound knowledge of the faith which was in them. Religion must have its intellectual side. The new type of agnosticism must be met by strong men and robust women of lofty spiritual character. The revivalism of the new century would be an ethical one as that of the old century was emotional. The Bible of the masses was the spiritual character of tha followers of Christ, but by cultivating a Christlike philanthropy the Christian Endeavour Society would prove a soul- saving institution. The Rev J. Harold Williams, of Bridgend, the chairman of the national council, was elected president of the Union for the ensuing year and on the motion of the Rev J. Harold Williams, seconded by the Rev Watkin Williams, supported by the Rev Silas Charles, Cardiff, the retiring President was heartily thanked for his services. CONVENTION SERVICE. There was a crowded congregation at the annual Convention service, when a powerful sermon was preached by the Rev H. Elvet Lewis, London and at a meeting subsequently held, Miss Jennie Street, London, conducted another "School of Methods." PUBLIC MEETING. The second great public meeting was held on Thursday evening, when the chapel was again crowded. The chair was taken by the Rev J. Harold Williams, Bridgend, the new president of the Welsh Union. The Rev W. Tanner Hughes, Eyre-street, Cardiff, opened the proceedings, and the thanks of the executive having been extended in sundry directions in connection with the Con- vention, the Chairman announced that next year's Convention will be held at Pontypridd. The Rev H. Elvet Lewis, London, in an impressive address, said this was his first opportunity to occupy a public platform in support of the Christian Endeavour movement, though he had been identified therewith for a number of years. He longed that the noble hardihood and patience of the nation which had been exercised during the past two or tfiree years in passing through the experiences oran arduous and trying war, could now be utilised, translated, and sanctified for the cause x>f the Saviour. The professing Christian must be an active endeavourer. Referring to the measure which he said the Government had had the temerity to describe the Education Bill, he said there was in store for the Free Churches of the country a great battle, and Christian endeavourers must join the movement in the warfare against priestcraft. Mrs G. Davies, Barry, sang a solo which thrilled the large gathering, and in response to enthusiastic applause Mrs Davies was re-called. A most impressive consecration service followed, conducted by Miss Jennie Street, London, and a memorable and successful Convention concluded with the reading of the roll-call and the pronounce- ment of the benediction. The intended excursion to Llantwit Major on Friday was, in consequence of the break-up of the weather, abandoned.

BIBLE CLASS WORK AMONG YOUNG MEN. At Thursday morning's conference, Mr F. Murrell, jun., Barry, read an excellent paper on Bible Class Work among Young Men," a paper full of living thoughtful interest and practical suggestion and application. Owing to limited I space, however, we were able to publish in our last issue only a brief reference to the paper, but we have pleasure this week in giving publicity thereto in greater detail. After a few prefatory remarks, Mr Murrell said— My experience has been very limited. I have only been connected with two Bible classes. If, as there should be, in such a company of active Christians, there are any workers in Bible classes present, I trust something will be said that will help them. First of all, what is a Bible Class ? It is now universally the term applied to those classes of a Sunday school in which the members have out-grown childhood, and have reached that very elastic period—as an age census of some of our societies would show-when they are known as young people. Why these particular classes are called Bible classes in distinction from the others, when every class in a Sunday school should be and really is, in the true sense a Bible class, I cannot say. There is no doubt that when the teaching of the Sunday school was largely of an educational and secular character, the Bible class was constituted of those who having professed Christianity desired to learn and study the Book which tells us the story of our Saviour. Now, however, our educational system is of such a character that the number of uneducated children is being gradually reduced to a minimum, and the Bible has become the manual of all Sunday school teaching. The aim and object of the Bible class, in common with all the work of the Sunday school, should be to make its members true Christians. I am afraid the non-success of a great many of our Sunday School Classes is due to a mistaken idea on the part of the teachers that the object of the work is only to teach the scholars the Bible, and our young people grow up without any direct loving appeal being made to them to serve the Master, and try and live the best life. Exper^se teaches us that unless we get young men to accept Jesus Christ as their Saviour before they reach the age of 21, the step becomes harder for them, and the chains of habit more difficult to break every year that they live. The senior and Bible classes, if successful in attaining their object, should be the recruiting ground to fill up the ranks in our Captain's army, the places for decision on the most important question of a man's whole life, and the stepping stones from the elementary Sunday school into the Church. Alas, that we have to deplore to-day that very largely we have signally failed in retaining our young men even to the extent of attending our places of worship, and when parental restraint is removed or never exerted, numbers of our young people, unattracted to our Churches, join the multitude who walk our streets, desecrating the Sabbath with golf, ping- pong, cards, and drink-seeking rambles. Why do our senior scholars drift out of the schools into the street instead of joining the Church 7 Why have we to face in the Free Churches of this country the leakage that goes on to such an alarming extent ? Do you know that in the past three years our Sunday schools have decreased by 130,000 members, the loss mostly being in the senior classes, and this in spite of an ever increasing population ? Think of it, Endeavourers, 130,000 young people deliberately turning their backs on the Christ who died to save them, and who is waiting to help them, and many plunging into the vortex of sin and death which only too soon swallows them up in its ghastly depths. Is it nothing to you, Endeavourers, that the classes where the Christian Fndeavour Societies of the future have to look to for its workers and members are slowly but surely becoming extinct ? Is it nothing to you that the Christ and His Church which you have promised to serve is being deprived of the service of so many bright young lives in an ever-increasing number? I am sure that you will all feel that this very sad state of things must be remedied, and if no one else will do it then the Christian Endeavourers must take the work in hand. It should be specially attractive and interesting to them because they are Young Christians themselves, and have all the enthusiasm, zeal, and energy which are essentials in making work amongst young people successful. As it is the duty of every Christian Endeavourer to live for the Christ Who died for him, and the world that Christ came to save, what better field for service could be found than the Bible Class offers ? Now, where lies the fault of the past failures ? In answering this question let us see if we cannot suggest how an ideal Bible class should be run. Some of the present methods are antiquated, and not at all suitable to present needs. The Bible class must no longer exist only as a class for the study of the Bible as a book. The Bible should be used because it tells us all about our Master and contains His Gospel, and in order to understand the plan of salvation. It should only be studied on Sunday in order to find out how Jesus would have us live our ordinary and sometimes monotonous life during the week. It is a store- house out of which one can always take lessons and precepts to uplift, elevate, and save. Teachers must realize that it is not necessary for a young man to know the details of the Mosaic law of sacrifices in order to realise the sense of sin forgiven. Our Bible Classes must be soul savers —- first educational agencies, second, and last. Don't make any mistake, young men are not receptacles to be filled, but activities to be directed. A young man may tread a sorrowful path to destruction, and be fast going on the broad-way to perdition, cram full of scriptural knowledge; that won't save him. While you are busy on Sunday filling his head, Satan during the week takes charge of his heart, and when the crisis comes is it not true that the one who rules in the heart always wins ? And this is the secret of the wholg matter. It is the nature of young men that their heart is where their amusements, hobbies, and recreations are to be found, and our Bible Classes are not going to save our young men until they are developed into institutions which will recognise that God has given man more than one side to his character. Then they will provide places where he can gratify any reasonable taste whether spiritual, social, intellectual, or athletic. Why should we leave the catering for the amusement of our young people in the hands of the publican, with his billiards, bowling alley, ping-pong, and soul-daming drink, the dancing master with his music and decoy girls, or the cheap showmen who run the penny gaffs in the pfincipal streets of our towns, the money-making proprietors of the "empires" and cheap theatres, who all present allurements to many a young fellow at a time when he might, if provided with an alternative attraction, have taken the choice of a nobler course. Why, I ask, have the football and other athletic clubs connected with our schools and churches to go to the public-houses in order to have dressing-room facilities. Why have the Christian young men, who smoke, when they wish to indulge in a social musical evening, to go the ever open club-room. What opportunities are afforded a young man for developing into a law- abiding, self-respecting, intelligent Christian citizen, as compared with the many opportunities of becoming a pleasure seeker, street-loafer, drunkard, and general Hooligan ? Christ wants the whole man, not his Sundays only, and we must touch the lives of our young fellows at every point if we wish to save them. I am convinced that the religion of our Lord Jesus Christ is the only cure for all the ills of the world, but we must apply the cure daily and hourly until it has effected its purpose. What we want is a Bible class which covers the whole week, keeping the members busy, and providing opportunities for young men to enjoy their games and sports with- out the contaminating influences which too often surrounds them. I can honestly say that as far as my experience "went in a Bible class which I attended at sixteen, we were never advised how to act in times of temptation, never warned of the awful consequences of the sins of intemperance, impurity, gambling, etc., never appealed to for a decision on the matter of our salvation, and we never saw our teacher except during that one hour on the Sunday. Is my experience unique, or do you know of any classes like the one I am describing ? If so, do you wonder at their failure to permanently influence the lives of the members ? Even if the teaching is efficient, and the teacher makes his class interesting, how fai into the week will the Sunday influence carry the lad safely when he has to work side by side with men who blaspheme, ridicule, corrupt, and tempt him, men who are gamblers, drunkards, and immoral? If a lodger, he may possibly have to live with men who laugh at his ideas of right and wrong and if at home be turned out into the street directly his evening meal is over, so as to make room for the children's bed preparations. Where is he to go to, and what does he dor Speaking humanly, how can one poor hour on Sunday spent under such circumstances be expected to stand the strain and test of the many hours which during the week have to be lived in the heat of the battle with the world, the flesh, and the devil ? It cannot, and does not. Not consciously as the result of my connection with a Bible class, but owing entirely to the grace of God, the piety of my parents-what a glorious heritage that is—and the influence of my then minister, I stand before you to-day as an active Christian Endeavourer and the teacher for years of a Bible class. If I do not weary you with so many personal references and time permits I would like to give you an account of my own class it may help and encourage some here who are down- hearted and sick-hearted as I have been many times. Moving into Barry, I joined the Congre- gational Church in Windsor-road, and after a few months I entered the Sunday School as assistant secretary, finally taking the position of secretary. y At that time-some seven years ago-we had a class in the school which was a perfect terror; it consisted of boys about twelve years of age who absolutely defied taming, and were the despair of a long succession of teachers, whose term rarely extended over two or three Sundays. Owing to excessive business calls, and perhaps a little loss of interest, I resigned the secretaryship, and hoped to slide out of the school and spend my afternoons, as I trust none of you do, in quiet rest. But God bad other plans for me which I knew not of, and when, after a specially bad burst in the class already referred to, the superin- tendent asked me to act the lion-tamer. What an awkward thing a conscience is sometimes, especially a healthy Nonconformist one; and mine t ould'nt give me any peace until I went down one Sunday after a good deal of persuasion to see what could be done. They were only about ten in number, but they had the ingenuity and mischief of a hundred ordinary mortals, and many a pitched battle we had. I always tried to keep my temper and generally succeeded, but on occasions talked to them pretty straightly. I never opened my Bible with them for teaching purposes for the first few months; a lesson was impossible, and was almost giving up the struggle when the 1st Barry Company of the Boys' Brigade was started, and I immediately saw that this, if anything, would save the situa- tion, and it did. My boys joined, and so did I as an officer, and then didn't I order them about when on parade! No cheek or back-answers now; and do you know the habit grew on them, and gradually I got the same control on Sundays as I had on week-days; and what was a great deal more important, for years I saw my boys almost daily; it gave themnotime to get into bad habits evening after evening I gave up for their sakes, until I got to know them through and through and we got to know each other, and then only did the Sunday school teaching really begin. Year afte year this went on, the class kept on increas- ing mostly from outside sources, and almost entirely through the Brigade work the same boys remained in the class that I started with, until one Sunday, after some special meetings held by our minister, nine of them publicly confessed their faith in the Saviour, and were admitted to the Church, eight being at the time still connected with the Boys' Brigade movement. A revival took place throughout the whole school, and efforts were made by my boys to attract to the class many lads who went nowhere, and as a result our numbers grew from 25 up to the present total of 40. Unfortunately, owing to the age limit of the Boys'Brigade movement being 17, there is not one of my class now connected with that movement, so I had to devise fresh means of keeping in touch with them during the week, feeling that in so doing lies the whole secret of the success I so earnestly prayed for, it meant fresh demands on my time, but what is time when a lad's soul is at stake? Last winter we got permission to furnish and to use our class-room every Tuesday and Friday night. We got a piano, ping-pong tables, draught, chess, and bagatelle. Night after night I met them them there, and did my best to make the place attractive and the games helpful, arranging occasional tournaments amongst the members, on which evenings coffee would be handed around. We started a string band of 16 members, which is now making splen- did progress, and I instituted a reading club, which, however, was hot so successful as I hoped it would be. We have a splendid class cricket club, and, as soon as the summer comes, we have a swimming club ready to take advantage of the sea and sands. This all sounds like plain sailing, but we have had our share of the storm, and on many occasions I have been bitterly disappointed and worried, even to the extent of sending in my resignation to the superintendent. Once, to be in the fashion, we Had a strike, and the class left me in a body because I took sides with one solitary member that the remainder took a dislike to, because he was too outspoken for them, but most young men have a good stock of sound common sense at bottom, and they came back to me when they found I was right and wouldn't give in. But through all the troubles, God has been very good, and we have now a band of 14 young men, some of whom have been with me since I first took the class, who have joined the church, and when the time comes will take up their work in the school, as two have already done, and devote consecrated lives to the service of their Master. In analysing the relative success of the work, I am more than ever convinced that the character of the organization which is used as a means whereby the teacher shall keep in touch with his lads is not important. It must, of course, be attractive. In my case it happened to be through the channels provided by the Boys' Brigade movement, but had I realised when first taking the class what I now know I should not have waited for the Brigade to start. The important thing is personal constant contact with the class." People become like those they are most closely associated with," and what is true of a man is doubly true of a growing lad. Give him one as a daily friend who has close fellowship with Jesus Christ, the perfect man, and you will soon arouse his interest and stir his love in his friend's inspirer, until he will want to have fellowship also, and once that point is reached there is joy in the presence of the angels for another soul has found its Saviour. I consider it a perfect miracle that under the existing conditions so many of our young men do remain attached to the churches, the week-day influences being so strong in the other direction, but when you show me a church where this is the case, I will find you the man in it who, in leading the young men,. does the bulk of his work, not on the Sunday but on the week-day and Saturday afternoons, directing, controlling, suggesting, and being a real influence in the life of each member. You may be inclined to think that I am asking too much, and point to the Y.M.C.A. and other kindred associa- tions as fulfilling my requirements, but are these, taken as a whole, successful missionary centres ? Do they not mostly consist of young men who are already Christians ? What we want are places to attract young men who are not Christians, not by coercion and constant heckling, make them nominally such, but by loving influence, and manly, vigorous, robust example, constrain them to realise the power of the love of Christ. Did not our Master do a lot more good by what He did, by His gracious and winning manner, than by all His preaching ? The people could not understand His parables and teaching, but they knew he was their Friend, because He was always ready to help, comfort, and advise them. So we may oft-times break down the barriers in a young fellow's heart by a little kindly interest in his daily life, and a sympathetic realization of his struggles and peculiar temptations. The ideal Bible class will, of course, only be attained where we have an ideal teacher, and the motto of his life must be For their sakes I sanctify and consecrate myself." There is the ultimate secret of power, the one sure way of doing good in our generation. 0, that we, Endeavourers, would realise what a power good living is ;;how much more careful we should be to do than to say. The teacher must be a man of strong Christian character, a winning personality, broad- minded, sympathetic, a leader, adviser, and a true friend. The methods of teaching must, of course, vary according to the needs of the class, but since the Sunday afternoon is not to be spent as an educational opportunity, give lads a practical straightforward talk; apply your lesson to their every day life make them feel that Jesus lives in our hearts and lives have strong and decided views on those dreadful curses, intemperance, gambling, and social impurity; never lose a chance of warning and advising in these matters. If you are the right sort of man, and you have the right sort of message your class will want to hear you. If any of the lads can speak or write papers encourage them by all means, but dont give up too much time for this sort of thing. If any trouble or difficulty arises between members, have it out with them at once a misunderstanding will rankle and leave wounds and may give trouble in the class out of all proportion to the cause. It is a good plan, at any rate in Wales, to sing a hymn sitting in the class before starting the lesson. It breaks up the conversation, and if followed by a prayer for help and blessing will secure the listening spirit. Give as many of the class something to do. We have two secretaries for the registers one member arranges for the reader of the lesson, another who selects the hymn, another who arranges the prayer, and so on. It causes Interest, and is a great assistance. Above all be early and regular. What tremendous issues are dependent on the path J which one young man may take, and what a large part you may play in influencing his life for good. If you have not got an ideal Bible class in your church such as I have described, and you are suffering from the loss of the elder scholars, you cannot now say that the remedy does not lie in your hands. You, the ardent enthusiastic Endeavourer, must, in the name of the Master, see to it, that your schools and churches have not closed doors all the week round, but that the wants of our young people in the direction of a healthy centre for their evenings are satisfied. Form classes and clubs, educational or recreative, and you will soon attract from the streets and house of amuse- ment. It was suggested last evening that Christian Endeavourers should form civic clubs to develope a stronger interest in municipal matters, so that our council chambers may be cleansed and puri- fied. The sentiment was applauded, as it should be, but do not let these helpful suggestions end there. Go back to your work, Endeavourers; strive by all the means in your power to save the young men and women around you pray for them and work for them. Lift their lives out of the level of mere money-making and pleasure-seeking, and give them nobler ideas about life, and show them the best way to live. I would plead for a more consecrated organised effort on the part of all our Endeavourers through the church and school, so that our young people may in the future be more and more drawn to Christ, becoming shining lights in the world, and pillars of strength to the cause we all have so much at heart.

THE RING'S CROWN. The King's crown is a very pretty work of art, the materials whereof it is composed being costly and somewhat hard to come by. Considered only as headgear it is not specially adapted to cope with the vagaries of the British climate, but finds its usefulness chiefly as a symbol of power and wide dominion exceeding all previous example. It is also a valuable asset which in an emergency could be made to draw many ducats from Shylock's treasury, though so far it has not been utilised in that way. There is a tremendous amount of hustling about the putting of it on the King's head-more than there would be about the taking of my head from off my shoulders, which hardly seems fair. But as fairness was never charac- teristic of this world, and doesn't seem in the way to become so, I shall not afflct myself about a trifle such as that. Besides, my story is concerned with the parting from three crowns, not the gaining of one. There have been numerous instances of a king compelled to part from his crown, and not infre- quently his head has had to go with it; but at No. 158, St. Michael's Hill, Bristol, lives Mr Robert Winter—not a king, it is true, but a respected tradesman — who recently parted from three crowns, and is infinitely better for the exchange he then made. Mr Winter thus describes the transaction Early last year I began to suffer from indigestion, and about two hours after eating experienced intense pain. Constipation, its usual accompaniment, had for a long time troubled me. After even the lightest meal, my agony was some- times so extreme that I was compelled to leave the shop and sit or lie down until it passed away. Many a night I have got up out of bed and walked about the streets, vainly seeking to forget my trouble. I became peevish and disagreeable, and was so wretched that I didn't wish to speak to any one. Certainly, life was hardly worth living. I was attended by no less than three doctors, but derived no benefit from anything they gave me. After months of useless doctoring, a neighbour said he was sure Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup would do me good, and having half a bottle of it in the house he gave it to me. My neighbour was right. I spent fifteen shillings (three crowns) in all upon Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup, but it was well worth fifteen pounds to me, for it left me without a single symptom of indigestion." These words were written on January 3rd, 1902, and Mr Winter is as legitimately to be congratulated on the happy disposal of his three crowns as is King Edward on his accession to one.

GLAMORGAN BEEKEEPERS' ASSOCIATION. RESUSCITATION OF THE MOVEMENT. At a well-attended and representative meeting of beekeepers from all parts of the county held on Friday evening last at the Grand Hotel, CardiS', it was unanimously resolved to resuscitate the Glamorganshire Beekeepers' Association, which ran successfully for a considerable number of years, but has lately dropped out of existence. Major-General Lee presided, and he was supported, among others, by Mr R. T. Duncan, through whose initiative the meeting was brought about, Dr De Vere Hunt (vice-chairman of Cardiff Flower Show), Messrs O. H. Jones, Preece, H. Gillett, J. Julian, J. Boyes, D. Richards, H. B. Tudhall (Penarth), W. T. Lewis (Llandaff), G. M. Lunt (Radyr), Freeman Gravil (Bridgend), H. Randall, jun. (Bridgend), John Rees (Lisvaue), and John Morgan (Pontypridd). Mr Duncan formally moved that the Glamorgan- shire Beekeepers' Association be resuscitated. The motion was seconded by Mr Preece. Mr O. H. Jones referred to the antiquity of bee- keeping in Wales, as evidenced by the fact that from honey the ancient national drink of -1 mead was concocted. It was an industry that deserved to be more followed, not only for the sake of the honey, but because of the important part played by bees as Nature's fertilisers. Other speakers bore testimony to the desire shown by bee-keepers in all parts of the county to have an organisation, and the motion was carried unanimously. Rules had been drafted, and, on the motion of Mr Richards, were adopted forthwith. Lord Windsor was chosen president, and among many vice-presidents elected were the Earl of Dunraven, the Earl of Jersey, Lord Aberdare, Sir W. T. Lewis, Sir T. Morel, Major-General Lee, Colonel Turberville, Colonel Wyndham-Quin, M.P., Colonel Fisher, Major Bell, Mr O. H. Jones, and Mr John Cory. Mr D. Richards was elected hon. secretary, with Mr W. B. Davies as hon. assistant secretary, Mr W. T. Lewis treasurer, and Mr John Jenkins hon. auditor. A large committee to represent all parts of the county was chosen and power given to add to the number. At the close of the business- Mr Preece gave a short address on Life in the Hive," illustrating it by lantern slides.
