CORRESPONDENCE. THf BARRY NURSING ASSOCIATION. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SOUTH WALES STAR. SIR,—Having seen the various notices whichhave appeared in your valuable columns respecting the Barry, Cadoxton. and District Nursing Association, an institution deserving of patronage, being a boon to the working closes of the district, allow me to make a few suggestions as to the means of supporting this benevolent institution. In many of our provincial towns a custom prevails, twice a year. to set aside one particular Saturday and Sun- day for thp purpose of benevolence on behalt of the hospitals, bores are sent round to the various workshops on the Saturday, and on the following day the various friendly societies and trades organisations assemble at a given point, with bands, banners, &c., to take part in a church parade, collections being made en route on behalt of these institutions. As we tintortunaely have no hospitals at present in this district, could we not adopt a similar custom, the proceeds to be devoted to the above asso nation ? Again, I am pleased to note that the Buffalo Order at Cadoxton have at present under discussion a scheme for holding a '■Kill on behalf of the Nursing Associa- tion, and I wish them every success, hoping other societies will adopt similar measures to assist our local benevolent institutions. Thanking you in anticipation.—Yours, &c., IEONOPOLIb. Barry Dock. PETERSTONE-SUPER-ELY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SOUTH WALES STAR. SIR —Seeing in your last issue that you have copied from the We*trrn Mail a statement relating to Croesypark Baptist Chapel, I beg of you to pub- lish my contradiction to the statement. Wester* Viil for Thursday. October 29. contained tt fonowing:The Rev. Thomas HwnftoV-, Ferndale writes to correct what he calls a mon strous mis-statement'm a ^w^will relating to Croesypark Baptist Chapel. merely preface Mr. Humphreys's letter with the remark that the information was cent to us by corr^pfa.ent',on.THumphreys 'you say that the first place,' said Mr. Humpnrejs y j the cto& is likely, to* nS' SuT1"1! have been P»M month, from the first month to the last month, my full salary, with an overplus in addition, Srery three months; and on the expiration of my notice I received a good .nm oi agyr stipend, with a testimonial of *,12. This will suffice to show the statement ,0 be wrong, mis- leading. and mischievous. Secondly, you state that the chapel is an old building, &c., which is true The chapel has stood over a century, and, in all probability, will remain while another genera- tion^asses away. Croesypark Church has sent out six branches, who have formed themselves into strong Churches therefore, the advantages are better than when the Church nurabered about 200 members. In the, yea,• 1882 >t JTS^intervai 5 £ £ 7 £ ™ and o«,er causes. In the third place, you state K +r* Mosethe chapel." I emphatically deny Ertemel sTfar the East i, from the West h it from the thou»hte of those concerned to close the chapel. I have ministered m Croesypark for nine venrs. and received an invitation to Fern dale, which I accepted and I certify that no pastor left his care with better feelings existing between the Church and himself. The good cause will prosper in the place. May it flourish is the sincere prayer of their late minister. ™ro Ferndale. THOMAS HrMPHREYS. COITY AND THE FALSE PROPHETS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SOUTH WALES STAR. gIK Fals? prophets, we are told, were very numerous in the davs of old, and prevailed upon many people that they were the Oracles of Truth, but many of your readers will not be greatly astounded to learn that at least one of their posterity still exists in this locality, and is widely known as Mr. Ratepayer. If any of the Coity people have as yet failed to see his cloven hoof from his last effusion, let me entreat them to "read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest a few more facts, and calmly compare them with those subtle tricks of this sophister. In the interest of truth and both for the sake of your own and your children's welfare, this question demands your most earnest consideration. Bear in mind that the strength of this assailant's petty artillery con- sists in great swelling words, of vanity and cavil, o-ibes, and sarcasm. Poor fellow, he is so desti- tute as not to be able to furnish a single argu- ment. or even in one instance to refute one fact put forth. Remember, dear friend, facts are stubborn things." and right is might," and who- soever will invade that sacred province will find it is hard to kick against the pricks." I have great pleasure to endorse what Rate- payer said with regard to the personality of Veritas, and who was at one time, if ho wishes on the eide of the many. But your readers will readily understand that to be quite beside the point in dispute. That proves nothing. I am one among many more who at the outset hastily sympathised with the supposed much abused person, until the plain facts were revealed against the baa* falsehood and deliberate misrepresenta- tions put forward by Ratepayer and a few more C-Uiltv persons, who had no other motive in view but to avenge a wrong upon certain members of the Board respecting a dispute distinctly separate from the present question. Therefore their action wa, not ont of any regard for the deposed master and certainly not out of consideration for the educational status of the place. Of course, it would be folly to try and convince J JS are impelled by that spirit, but there> are know to be quite innocent of the true tacts, with Vhom I deeply sympathise, and I am equally anxious to lay bare to them the indisputable facts which ought not admit a doubt m their mind, but that jastice was done all round. 'Poor Ratepayer pleased himself to put my letter into ^para- graphs, but what he has therein stated to either deny or affirm my arguments I cannot imagine. 1. He stated "that the petition prayed upon the Board in respectful words, to which 1 can give an unqualified denial. Unless he means it was respectful to say that they knew the Board had acted from malice and prejudice. He further states that I was one presenting such petition," which is also perfectly false, tor no petition was presented. I regard your space as too precious. Mr. Editor, to deal with all his para- graphs, for they are quite irrelevant to our conten- tion. amd I am sure your readers will bear me out if they will only compare his answer 0) with my forme* letter. May I again challenge him to con- tost my figures that the difference of grant this •year compared with the last is £ 6 14s. 4djhich every schoolboy can verify. To talk about the new -code is arrant nonsense in this instance. Again, can he say the attendance of this year was less than the last? Also, the teachers did incompar. ably better for many years than Mr. Peters him- self, and he had no other one to bl»me. W hy did not Mr. "Ratepayer" reply to those couldRemember. friends, it is not once, twice, or thr«e times he has been warned by the Board, »but many times, and in most respectful words and t'l:1e last time the inspector himself reported, as we all know, that unless an improvement be ef- fected br next year, he would report according to article 66 in the code. I had intended writing more but the length of this has exceeded my wish Thanking you in anticipation for inserting 33^1 am, to, VERITAS.
