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.

THE ESTABLISHED CHURCH AT…
THE ESTABLISHED CHURCH AT BARRY. IS IT PROGRESSING? STRONG REMARKS FROM A STRONG CHURCHMAN. We have received ths following communication from a correspondent, who is well known to be a strong Churchman. We are ourselves quite ignor- ant—apart from what our correspondent states of the facts of the case. We have always insisted that the material and spiritual welfare of the Church would be advanced were the Church freed from the bonds of the establishment, and the appended statement will go far to prove that our contention is right. Our correspondent writes The winter of our discontent has, once more, begun at the Barry Parish Church. Anyone entering the Market-hall during the last week would have thought there was^ considerable vi- tality in the church of the district. Anyone who attended the Sunday services at the Parish Church would have been forced to think very much otherwise. A cold, cheerless morning ser- vice a smokv stove, an arctic atmosphere, and a half-empty choir. No evening service, but in its place a half-and-half catechising of children with the Litany, in a miserably cold church, with darkness made visible by a few wretched candles, and scarcely ar.y singing to enliven the dismal proceedings—not a single sign to show that it was one of the great Church festivals—namely, All Saints' Day. If these circumstances are to continue through the winter, which weather, prophets tells us, is to be a severe one, it cannot be a matter for wonder if (as was the case last winter) Church people betake themselves to the more comfortable places of worship and the brighter services of their Non- conforming brethren, and the Parish Church be left to a bare dozen or so of people and a half- hearted worship. If our town be taken as an example, it would certainly appear as though there was considerable force in the "DisestabliHhment" policy; and we scarcely think that, until more vitality is manifest on the part of the clergy, and the existing churches filled, the residents of Barry can fairlv be asked to find funds for building more churches. We have heard that the rector has more than once been asked by his parishoners to allow weekly collections to be taken for the better light- ing and warming of his church, but has always refused to the great annoyance lof many of his leading church members. Surely we are not to have a repetion of the Rumney scandel here Let us hope not. We have heard that one who is now a leading resident would have joined the Parish Church, but was choked off," and is now a. great light" at one of our Free places of worship here.
MABON'S DAY.
MABON'S DAY. MINERS' MEETING AT FERNDALE. On Monday (Mabon's Day) a largely attended meeting of miners was held in the Assembly-hall to hear the report of the delegate (Mr. Henry Jenkins) as to the last meeting of tlie federation, which has already appeared in the columns of the press. The report was unanimously adopted. Various other questions were before the meeeting, the first being whether the sub-agent (Mr. W. Evans) should have double pay for his attendance at the federation meetings, and also at federation executive meetings. A lively dis- cussion ensued, resulting in favour of a proposition that he be paid double, as it was imperative to their interests as workmen that he attend both. The question of presenting the late secretary of the workmen's committee (Mr. Thomas Thomas), who has resigned, with a substantial testimonial was adjourned to a future date. The resolution passed nt the last meeting that no collier be allowed to filIany trams on stop tnnas" was again brought up, it having been proved to have been repeatedly broken. A deputation was appointed from each pit to wait upon Mr. Hannah, M.E., for the better regulation of trams. The question of the com- pany's house rents having been raised to the eame standard aa those of other landlords was also before the meeting, when it was pointed out to the grumblers that in these times they were as well ible to pay the company as others to pay their lifferent landlords. On hearing thie those Aggrieved left the hall. The meeting then broke up, after a vote of thanks to the chairman (Mr. Howell Powell) and the secretary (Mr. A. Tibbott). SOUTH WALES AND MONMOUTHSHIRE CHECKWEIGHERS' ASSOCIATION. On Monday a special meeting of the above asso- ciation took place at the Green Meadow Inn, Pont- ypridd. Mr. Henry Davies, Aberaman, presided, ind the vice-chair was occupied by Mr. J. B. Jones, rhe meeting had been called by Mr. John Williams. Clydach Vale. president of the associa- tion, who desired to direct attention to certain monymous letters in the Tartan, which, he con- tended, charged him with having, by "under- handed means," attempted to prevent Mr. Ebenezer Davies from proceeding with the pertormance of his duties as checkweigher at Clydach Vale Col- Lieries, to which he had recently been elected.— A.fter a long discussion, the following resolution tvas unanimously passed :— That, after hearing the statements in regard to the illeged misconduct of a. checkweigher, we, at a special general meeting of the association, do hereby confirm ;he action of Mr. John Williams, Clydach Vale, in the transaction, and exonerate him from all blame. We further disapprove of the action of the authors of the monymous letters that have appeared in the Tarian. MASS MEETING OF OCEAN COLLIERS THE WEEKLY HOLIDAY QUESTION. A mass meeting of the miners of four of the 3cean Collieries-Parco Dare, Ton. and Bwllfa —was held at the Drill-hall, Pentre, on Monday. under the presidency of Councillor David Jones, Fon, to take into consideration the question of prohibiting colliers from working in the seven jollieries on occasions of stoppage of the pits. At she outset a question arose as to the ad- visability of discussing the subject in the Absence of representatives of the YnYlybwl, 3arw. and Ogmore workmen, who, it was stated, had not been informed that a mass meeting was to be held that morning. The Chairman suggested that, inasmuch as there were colliers from the four pits in the Rhondda present, the workmen from the different collieries should ascend the platform to state their griev- ances. It was most unfair, he remarked, that a number of colliers should enter their working- places on stoppage days, and perform dead work," and fill coal while their fellow-workmen were absent from enforced idleness. The miners of the seven pits should assemble together to seriously consider the matter. He said that the workmen were now discussing the question of adopting a weekly holiday and, indeed, he was of opinion that it would be fairer to adopt a weekly holiday than allow the present system at the Ocean Collieries to continue. (Cheers.)—Several workmen from the four local pits ascended the platform, and each of them emphatically con- demned the system of allowing some miners to work when the majority were compulsorily idle. —A discussion ensued regarding the question of restricting the output, but it was unanimously agreed to adjourn the meeting till next Monday in order to afford the workmen or the representatives of the other three collieries to participate in settling the matter. It was then resolved that a mass meeting of the workmen of the seven large col- lieries be held on Monday next to take the impor- tant questions into consideration. About six thousand workmen are concerned in the matter. EISTEDDFOD AT MOUNTAIN ASH. A largely-attended eisteddfod was held at the Town-hall, Mountain Ash. on Monday, under the presidency of Mr. H.

In the Riverside Ward, Mr. Frank Beavan won a seat for the Liberalp, beating Dr. Morgan Williams by 301 votes. Mr. Lascelles Carr the retiring councillor, did not seek re election.

Hawddamor blentyn mwynlon, cu, Ti ddaethost i gyflawnder, Yn euraidd, clir. f'o asur d'oes, Na ddoed i'th gwrdd gyfyngder; Hyderaf byddi'n addurn derch Yng nghoron hoff dy fam-wlad Dymunaf hir oes it' ga?l byw I wella'th wlad a charu Duw, Dy Grewr cu a'th Geidwad. Boed i ti fod yn ffyddlawn iawn I'th riaint anwyl, hawddgar Ymdrecha'u gwneyd bob pryd yn lion Tra byddont ar y ddaear 0 cofia bur orch'mynion lor, A chadw hwy'n dy galon, Ac yna cei mewn arall fyd Drag'wyddol gysur ar ei hyd O Willie, bydd yn ffyddlon. Boed eto yn dilyn eich William Rees tirion Rhyw lu o blant tebyg i chwi, riaint serchlon Ac yna yr anial droir i chwi yn nefoedd Hyderaf cewch hono yn wobr byth bythoedd. AP GWILYM.
