With regard to technical instruction, the secretary said he had been advised by Mr. Baker, secretary to the Local Board Association, that the Local Board, as an urban authority, had power to levy a penny rate for the pur- poses of technical instruction, irrespective of the fact that the County Council were doing the same over the whole county.

ALLEGED ASSAULT OX A LITTLE GIRL AT CADOXTOX. DISGRACEFUL ACTION OF A STEPFATHER. At Penarth Police-court on Monday (before Messrs. J. S. Corbett, chaiiman, and James Ware), Edward Brooks was charged with having com- mitted an indecent assault upon his step-daughter. Mary Jane Cavil, aged nine years, at Cadoxton, early on the morning of the 22nd instant. All women and children were ordered out of court during thy hearing of the case.—Police-constable William Smith said that at half-past twelve, mid- night. on Friday he was on duty in Vere-street, Cadoxton. when Mrs. Brooks and complainant (who was crying) came up to him. From what they told him he went with them to defendant's house at Holme-street. The prisoner was sitting on a chair by the fire in the middle room. In the presence of the prisoner the little girl des- cribed what had taken place, the offence having been committed on a chair in the prisoner's room. Prisoner replied that he had not done anything of the sort, and that it had all arisen from the desire of the mother to get rid of him. The little "irl replied "Yon did do it." Prisoner, who was perfectly sober was taken into custody. On beino- charged at the station, he made no reply.—Dr. P. J. O'Donnell said that at about two o'clock on the morning in question the child was brought to him by a policeman, accompanied by the mother. There were no bruises or marks of violence, but from witness saw he was of opinion that someone had tampered with the child, and that an attempt at connection had very recently been made.—The little girl was also called, and she burst into tears on being placed in the box.—The bench were of opinion that sufficient evidence had been given to justify a remand, and prisoner, who protested that he was innocent of the charge, was remanded to the Cadoxton Police-court the following Thursday. At the adjourned hearing at the3 Cadoxton Police-court, yesterday, before Mr. O. H. Jones (chairman), General Lee, ane Cmouel Guthrie. Mr. A. F. Hill defended the prisoner. — The plaintiff gave evidence as to the circumstances of the case, and corroborated in the chief particulars the evidence given at the Penarth court the pre- vious Monday.—The mother gave evidence, and said her suspicions were aroused by the guilty action of the accused when at length she got into the room. She told him she had suspected that he had similarly acted previously, and would take the child to a doctor. The child also com- plained to her.—The Bench committed the prisoner for trial to the next Quarter Sessions.—Mr. Hill applied for bail, which was allowed, prisoner in the sum of £50, and two sureties of £25 each.

Deceased had been suffering from rheumatic fever for some short time. He was well liked, and at Merthyr where he was pre- viously located, he received a gold watch and chain as a testimony of his many good qualities. 44 For seven years I suffered from Asthma, tried all known remedies, and LEWIS'S PECTORAL BALSAM is the best, of all.—-Is.

POXTYPRIDD. PERFECT THRIFT BUILDING SOCIETY.—On Thursday evening last a public meeting was held at the St. David's-hail, Pontypridd, for the purpose of establishing a branch of the Perfect Thrift Building Society at that town. Councillor James Roberts, Tati Vale House, presided over a well-attended meeting, and in the course of his opening remarks said that the Perfect Thrift Building Society was within reach of everyone, and people who joined the society would pro- bably, in the course of a few years, become the owners of their own houses. He was of opinion that when a working man became a house owner, he was a better member of society, and took a deeper interest in the welf:1.re of the mighhourllOod where he liver1. (Hear, hear'.) House rent was high in the Pontypridd dis- trict, but here was an opportunity offered for a work- ing man to obtain his house free of rent. He (Mr. Roberts) would have liked to see a larger number of the working classes on the directorate, but he was certain that they (the working men) would be well repre- sented on that body by Mr. J. W. John. (Applause.) Continuing. the Chairman said he should like to see a large number of the industrious working men of the town joining the society, for it was a real thrift society. He was certain they could put every faith in the directors, for thej were, one and all, sound prac- tical men; and as to the secretary, his name wa3 a sufficient security that he would do what he could in looking after the welfare of the members. (Loud cheers.) — Mr. W. Horsley (of Leeds) having entertained the audience with a few lime light views, illustrative of Stanley's march through Central Africa, proceeded to explain '• How to live rent free," and in doing so said that this society was a practical co-operative working man's society, and in addition to being a building society it could he used as a savings' bank auJ an insurance society. It was also purely local, and \voulclnot be governed by people who did not live in the town. A ballot was introduced to determine priority of the loans but that did not deter other members from buying loans from the society, and in that case the full commercial value uf the house which the memher wanted to buy would be advanced at a rate of interest of six per cent. per annum. Mr. Horsley then pro- ceeded to show how the profit of the society was made and how it would at the end of six years be divided amongst the members. He also went on to explain how in a case of the death of a member, the nearest relation could obtain a frec ballot, and concluded by inviting anyone present to ask any question they thought fit. Several questions were asked which were satisfactorily answered, and the ledurer at the end showed by limelight some of the houses which the society in different parts of the kingdom had bought for its members. We understand that already a large number of members have been enrolled, and the first payment took place at the offices of the society, Hong Kong," Pontypridd, on Monday night last. LIBERALISM.—Mr. Gwilym Hughes, the honorary secretary of the Liberal Club, on benalf of the Liberal Association, has accepted the challenge which was thrown out by Mr. W. E. Helm, the paid defender of the Church, to the efiect that Wales had not a distinc- tive nationality. It is not improbable that a healthy debate will take place at the Market Hall. A NEW CHURCH.—On Monday last the Lord Bishop of Llandaff held a dedication service at St. Mark's Mission Church, Pwllgwaun. There were a large number of church friends present, including most of the clergy of thc district. His Lordship de- livered an excellent sermon, after which the bishop, clergy, and a large number of laymen adjourned for lunch to St. Catherine's Parish Schoolroom. The vicar presided, and speeches were delivered by the Bishop, the Revs. D. Evans, and R. Rowlands, and Messrs. H. R. Johnson, H. L. Grover, J. David, H. S. Cobb, and others. Services were also held in the afternoon and evening. The new church was erected at a cost of £850, by Messrs J. Turner and Co., from the designs of Mr. Arthur 0 Davies, architect, Ponty- pridd. HUNT BALL.—On Friday evening last the annual ball in connection with the Llanharran Ystrad Hunt was held at the New Inn, Pontypridd. The ball room had been nicely and tastefully decorated for the occasion by the Messrs. Howell and Co., of Cardiff, and the music was supplicll hy Messrs. Johnsun and Roberts, Quadrille Baud, Cardiff. The dancing com- menced soon ofter nine o'clock, and a splendid supper had been laid out by Mrs. Miles in an adjoining room. The dance was very largely attended, the duties of secretary being discharged by Messrs. Edwin Price and Morgan Davies. THE GLANFFRWD MEMORIAL.—The tender of Mr. William Morgan, sculptor, Pontypridd, has been accepteù for the erection of the proposed monument on the grave of the late bard, GIannrwd" memorial, at Llanwonno Church. The cost of the monument will be £65. THE NATIONAL EISTEDDFOD OF 1893.—It has been decided to fix the date of the 1893 National Eisteddfod on the first week in July, in order that those who intend attending the international gathering at Chicago in the fall of the same year may do so. The parish schoolroom of St. Catherine's has been kindly lent by the Vicar for the use of the committees, who will without delay set about making arrangements for the bringing out of the programme, which will be ready in May next. Two days of the eisteddfod will probably be set apart for choral competitions. EISTEDDFOD COMMITTEES.—The first meeting of the Pavilion Committee of the National Eisteddfod of 1893 was held on Monday evening last, when Mr. D. Leyshon was appointed chairman, and Mr. H. S. Davies secretary. Caradog was also unanimously elected chairm<U1 of the Musical Committee the same eveninoo ENTERTAINMENT.—On Friday evening last the last entertainment of the St. David's Sewing Class was held at the St. David's-hall, Mr. J. Kuner pre- siding over a very large attendance. Miss Annie Williams made a splendid accompanist, the following ladies and gentlemen took part, Miss Bessie Davies, Miss Pollie Rowlands, Miss Sophia Williams, and Miss Walters, Tram-road Side Messrs. J. T. Llewellyn, H. J. Spowart, Morgan Charles (ironmonger), W. Gaze, and a young lad from Dr. Barnardo's Home, whose name we have been unable to obtain. COMPETITIVE MEETING.—On Thursday evening last a competitive meeting, conducted by Mr. T. Mayberry Williams, was held at the Congregational Schoolroom in connection with the Band of Hope of that church, the adjudicators being Messrs. J. D. Jones and T. Jones (literature), R. H. Morgan, M.A. (biography), and Mr. Edwards (music). Amongst other competitions was a spelling bee, which created much amusement, but the little ones seemed some- what nervous, probably owing to the fact that this was their first competition. In addition to the competi- tions a recitation was given by Mr. Edwards. Market- square, and a violin duett by Messrs. Forrest and Gaze. LITERARY MEETING.—An entertainment, which took the form of a literary meeting, was held at the Baptist Chapel Schoolroom, Coedpenmaen. in connec- tion with the Calvinistic Methodist Sunday School, the chair being occupied by Mr. Richard Rogers, Market- square. There was a large attendance, and the follow- ing programme was satisfactorily gone through:— Chorus, Coedpenmaen Band of Hope, under the leader- ship of Mr. Esau illiams; recitation, Mr. Henry James; song, Y il'.hvr Bach," Mr. Joseph Llewellyn; recitation, Mr. W.

Miss Annie Williams pre- sidedatthepiano. A most successful and enjoyable meeting came to an end with the usual vote of thanks. CLERKS' ASSOCIATION.—A well-attended meeting of railway and other clerks was held on Monday even- ing last, at the County Hotel, Pontypridd, for the pur- pose of discussing the desirability of forming a local branch in the town of the South Wales and Mon- mouthshire Clerks' Association. The chair was occupied by Mr. Massey, and after some conversation it was unanimously resolved to form a branch for Pontypridd and the Rhondda Valleys, with head- quarters at the above-named town. Mr. J. Miles was appointed chairman of the local committee, and F. J. O. Howell, hon. sec. The following gentlemen were then elected to act as a local executive committee — Messrs. T. John, D. Rees, W. T. Griffiths, A. E. H. Benson, E. W. Thomas, and C. T. Gibbon. THE FOOTBALL COMMITTEE.—A general meet- ing of the Pontyprilld Football Club was held at the Sportsman Hotel on Tuesday evening last. We have not been supplied with an official report of the same, hut we may mentIOn that a general feeling of dissatis- faction prevails amongst the members owing to the fact that the match committee have not acted too wisely during the past few weeks. TREORKY. OBITUARY.—We have this week to record the death of Mr. David Skym, a prominent Ivorite, and a mem- ber of various other friendly societies in the Rhondda Valley. Mr. Skym was the secretary of the local lodges and general secretary of the district lodges of the ] vorites, and uied at his residence on Sundav morning last, having been ailing for the last 10 years. MOUNTAIN ASH. THE RHONDDA SEWERAGE.—The Mountain Ash Local Board are of opinion that it is premature for them to join the main sewer of the Pontypridd and Rhondda districts, and for the present refuse to make terms with the Pontypriddians. PROPOSED POLICE-COURT.—We have been given to understand that arrangements are being made for the holding of a weekly police-court at Mountain Ash, and a meeting will soon be held to discuss the matter. Mr. North, the Merthyr Stipendiary, is in favourof the movement. FERNDALE. RAILWAY SERVANTS.—A meeting of the Ferndale Branch of the Amalgamated Society of Railway Servants was held on Saturday evening last, and votes of sympathy were passed with Bros. Hilborne and Slade, of Cardiff, and Bro. Richard, of Aberdare, who had lately met with accidents whilst discharging their duties. ° MR. ALFRED THOMAS. M.P., visited this town on Tuesday afternoon last, and will probably address a. meeting of his electors in the parish of Llanwonno on Mabon's Day next. A meeting of the Liberal Asso- ciation was held last (Thursday) evening to make arrangements for the same. YNYSYBWL. INQUEST.—On Saturday last Mr. R. J. Rhys, coroner, held at inquest at the Robertstown Hotel, touching the death of a young man named John Lewis, who was killed whilst hunting near the Glannant Drift on Thursday. Although he was picked up immediately after the accident, and conveyed home, he soon suc- cumbed to his injuries.-A verdict of Accidental death was returned. ANOTHER ACCIDENT.—A serious accident befel jUr. Evan Llewellyn, Darwonno, on Friday last whilst out hunting, in company with a few friends Near the Llechfaen grounds a horse belonging to Dr. L. Wayne Morgan, Havod, and ridden by Mr. Grovc-r, Pontypridd, kicked Mr. Llewellyn in the leg, and fractured the same. He was immediately conveyed home, and is now satisfactorily progressing. FATALITY TO AN EQUESTRIAN.—On Thursday, the 10th inst., John Lewis, son of Mr. William Lewis, Tai-rheol, was riding a horse belonging to Mr. Tom Taylor, Pontypridd, to a brook near the Glanant Drift, when he slipped over the animal's head and was trampled upon. He was immediately picked up and conveyed to his home, but died shortly after reaching there. The sad affair was witnessed by his father, who was walking near by. and who was the first to approach the poor fellow after the sad occurrence. An inquest was held at the Robertstown Hotel on Satur- day last, before Mr. Rhys J. Ithys, coroner, touching the fatality, when a verdict of Accidentally killed was returned. The remains were interred at Llan- fabon on Monday. NODDFA BAPTIST CIIAPEL—It is said that the members of Noddfa Welsh (B.) Chapel have decided to present their popular pastor, the Rev. W. B. Jones, shortly, with a sum of money as a wcrlcling gift. Mr. Jones and his young wife are much esteemed by the inhabitants generally, and it is conjectured that a handsome sum will be forthcoming. HAVOD. INTERESTING PRESENTATION.—A large number of the officials of the TnE Vale Railway Company assembled on Friday evening last at the Vaughan's Arms Hotel for the purpose of presenting Mr. Gibbon, the late station-master at Havod, with a testimonial, as a small token of the regard in which he was held by his colleagues. The presentation, which took the form of a purse of gold, containing £45, was made by Mr. John Jones, the chairman of the meeting. Addresses were delivered by the Chairman and Mr. Davie3, of Porth, both of whom spoke in terms of high praise of Mr. Gibbon. The latter gentleman suitably responded, and the remainder of the evening was spent in a convivial manner. MARDY. BANKRUPTCY.—Edward Davies, of Mardv, Gla- morganshire, butcher, first meeting, December 1st, at noon, at the Official Receiver's, Merthyr. Public ex- amination, December 22nd, at two p.m., at the Court- house, Pontypridd. FATAL ACCIDENT.—Oil Tuesday last a married man named Rees Jones, residing at 37, Pentre-road, Mardy, died from injuries received whilst at work at the double parting on the Rhondda side of No. 2 Pit by a fall of stone, which occurred on the 17th inst. The deceased received a scalp wound, and succumbed to his injuries, in spite of the good medical aid which was sent for. He leaves a widow and two children. PROPOSED POLICE-STATION.—It has at last been decided that a police-station shall be erected at Mardy, and it is expected that tenders for the erection of tho same will soon be advertised for. TREFOREST. "BABES IN THE WOOD" CANTATA.—On Thurs- day and Friday the scholars of the Treforest Board Schools, assisted by Messrs. D. Evans (Alaw Gwynno), Clmbb and Lewis, Miss Wallace, and the Treforest String Band, gave two splendid performances of the '• Babes in the Wood" cantata. The school-room was filled on both occasions by audiences who appreciated the performance, as was evidenced by the manner in which they applauded the juvenile performances. The character of "Uncle" was taken by Mr. David Evans, Ynysybwl; "Aunt," by Miss Wallace. Tre- forest; and the "Ruffians" by Messrs. Chubb and Lewis; tho "Babes" by two little ones, whose names did not transpire. The characters were well sustained throughout by all, especially so the cruel uncle and Runians;" whose supposed cruelty to the little ones drew forth embittered acclamations from those assembled. We congratulate Mr Chubb and those who assisted him in being able to produce such a per- formance, and the manner in which he had trained the little ones. TYLORSTOWN. THE COLLIERIES.—The winding engine of Messrs. Tvlor and Co.'s pit was disabled about a week ago, and the new engine only arrived on Monday, so that probably the workmen who have already been idle during the past week will not be able to work for a few days more.

ROUND THE TOWN". Mr. Seisr. of Cardiff. the newly-appointed school attendance ofEcer for Barry. is about; to undertake a complete child census of the district. The BOYS' and G irls' Departments at the Holton- road Schools will be opened on the 11th of January. The upper portion of the building- is completely finished. The whole of the building will be ready by the end of the month. Mrs. Bowen. of Penmark. is a first cousin of the present Lord Mayor of London's father. The people of Barry are saying that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Serious cases of immorality are still prevalent in the Barry district. Glaring instances were given at the recent social purity meeting at Barry Dock, and a prosecution which is about being "proceeded with against a man at Cadoxton for an assault upon his stepdaughter, nine years old. certainly shows that there is a deal of work for the local branch to do. Mr. James, the Cogan station master, has been very unwell, and his numerous friends are wishful for his speedv and complete restoration to health. On Saturday last another of a series of the popular concerts was given at the Park Hall. Cardiff, before a crowded and appreciative audience. The committee are to be congratulated upon their selection of artistes. The "chief attraction last Saturday was Signer Toll, the celebrateu basso. Foli fairly captivated the audience each time he appeared." Despite his numerous acknowledg- ments the audience were most enthusiastic, and demanded a repetition each time. Miss Maggie Davies. mezzo soprano, rendered her songs with much taste, especially when she sang Husbands. Miss Maggie Jones possesses an excellent soprano voice, and was well received. Mr. A. Ernest Jones. Penarth, who at the age of 13, occupied the 1 im- portant position of being"the organist of the Albert Hall. Swansea, and who is now the organist at the Areot-street Chapel. Penarth. did his work with his usual taste and skill. The Glee Society, under the veteran leadership of Mr. Jacob Davies. gave some very interesting glees. The singing by them of The Village Bells" was really magnificent, and they were obliged to give a repetition. Madame Clara No veil o Davies was the accompanist, and it is needless to say that her selections on the piano- forte were greatly admired. The coal trade at the Docks is in rather a de- pressed condition, for a large number of the trimmers came away on Saturday without a penny. and another wivij the large >ua of 7s. Bel, Taken on the whole, discussions at the Barry Health Committee meeting last Friday were very serious, although one or two of the members essayed now and then to raise a smile. For instance, when the tenders for inspector's uniform were being considered, the irrepressible member for Vere-street wanted to know if a certain price included a half-a-crown in each pocket." Mr. Bar"tow was observed to smile. More magistrates are wanted in the Rhonnda. The Cymmer police-court should begin at 10. but sometimes it is past 12 before a magistrate turns up. Who is the leading Radical that took an active part in making the Primrose Lt;.ague meeting held near Bridgend a success Granolithic pavement is being laid on both sides of Porthkerry-road. This will enable the lesi- dents in the houses near Castle Farm to walk down to Barry to shop without passing through muddy reads. A considerable number of architects have been making enquiries in reference to the competition for plans for the Merthyrdovan Cemetery Chapel. The Burial Board will probably have plenty of plans to choose from. Mr. W. J. H&rdie, dentist of Cardiff, intends opening a branch in High-Street. Barry. Mr. Kardie recently settled in Cardiff, after some year pracr'°° ill London. Tiie cesspool nuisance near Tlolton Independent Chapel is still a decidedly offensive one. so came to the conclusion a Star reporter as he hurried passed the spot on Monday night. Mr. T. Marchant Williams, the popular Welsh author and barrister, is a cousin of Mrs. Radcliffe, Holton-road. Winter has fairly set in in the Rhondda Valley, and ice to the depth of one inch and a half was to be seen at Mardy on Tuesday last. It is not improbable that on Monday evening next Mr. Councillor Morgan Thomas will give a record of his stewardship to the electors at Mardy. If all county councillors were as conscientious and as busy as the member for Ferndale. what a change we would see. A higher compliment could hardly be paid to Mr. Councillor Morgan Thomas than that which the Aberdare Liberal Club paid him by asking that gentleman to address a meeting of the mem- bers of that club on "County Government." The same gentleman has also been asked to address the Pontypridd Liberal Club at an early date. Merit is appreciated in the coal districts. Parsons beware The following notice is to be seen at Porth railway station:—"All parsons disfiguring these walls will be prosecuted. By order." Matters arc coming to a nice pitch between the Pontypridd Local raid Burial Boards. Mr. William Jones has insulted Mr. David Leyshon. or at least the board of which Mr. Leyshon is chairman. A storm is brewing, and we may expect a rough time before leng. Poor Ap Caledfryn! He visited every news- agent's shop in Pontypridd to obtain a copy of the Star last week but they were sold out. and the artist had to ask a friend for the loan of a copy. A valuable billiard has been presented by Messrs. Burroughs and Watts to the Pontypridd Liberal Club. and will be put up for competition at the next handicap. Messrs. Isaac Protheroe and W. Davies, American Stores, represented the Pontypridd grocers at the meetings of the Grocers' Association held at Birmin- gham last week. and were among the guests in a grand banquet given by the Mayor of the town. We hear also that the same gentlemen, as well as Mr. Richard Rogers, Market-square, have been in- vited to a banquet which will be given at Liver- pool by Messrs. Lever Bros.. the manufacturers of the famous Sunlight Soap. to the tradesmen who sell the largest quantities of the soap. We hear that the Chamber of the Trade are determined to carry on their agitation for the in- corporation of the town. They have already approached the representatives of the ratepayers— the Local Board. They do not. however, feel in- clined to be quiet, and remained satisfied with the small assurance given by thct august body. hut intend going straight to the public. A public meeting is to be convened, and the Chamber have already formed a committee for the purpose of obtaining information to lay before such meeting. The inhabitants of Pontypridd generally seem to be in favour of the movement, and only fear an increase in the rates. We understand that the committee of the Chamber intend shewing that the expenditure will not necessarily be more than under the present system. Much satisfaction is felt at the regularity with which the trams now run from Pontypridd to Porth. Certainly there is a great improvement in this respect since Mr. Solomon Andrews became the owner of the tramway. One should, perhaps. < be thankful for small mercies, and not demand too much but some of us cannot help longing for the happy day when those in charge of the public interests will cease to slumber and sleep and com- pel the owner of the tramway to keep his road in repair. The rails are still inches above the level of the road. and there is a very appreciable danger to those who have to travel along the road by any conveyance other than the trams themselves. A new eoacnbuilding and repairing company have been started in Pontypridd, and are building large premises. The tramway alone will. I expect, be the means of keeping them well employed. The Barry Dock policemen are not contented with chain chin straps to their helmets. They wear these hooked up to the back. and use leather chin straps as well. It is just like a man with two pairs of gloves, wearing one pair on his hands. -and carrying the other pair for effect. Dr. Livingstone is shortly to deliver a course of Ambulance lectures at Holton. This is a step in the right direction. Why don't the Nursing Association give lectures on nursing to women. Among sporting men thirty to one are the odds laid against the opposition at the recent Local Oovernment Board enquiry being successful. The marking out of the gravespaces in the Cemetery is now completed, and the drainage will shortly bo commenced. The Wayeock-road improvement, in the Dinas Powis Highway Board District, is being rapidly proceeded with, and will soon be completed. It w'll be a very great improvement. The Sub-Marine Miners' new miner, Sir Howard Elphinstone." is to be fitted out with appliances for the Brennan torpedo. The fort to protect Barry is to be built between Coldknap and Porthkerry. and not on Barry Island as originally intended. The building will probably be commenced early next spring. The guns will be more powerful than those at Laver- nock. Flat Holmos. Steep Holmes or Breandown. Some of Mr. Gladstone's works, including the Impregnable Rock of Holy Scriptures are to be translated into Welsh. The work will be under the superintendence of Mr. Ernest Rhys, the editor of the Camelot Classics," and a prose writer of considerable merit. Mr. Rhys hails from Newcastle-on-Tvne. and is a grandson of Mr. Rees, the stationer, Carmarthen. A correspondent said last week that the services at Barry Parish Church were cheerless. They are, however, relieved by Mr. ^sug'ha.llt who is by far ih<? beorganist in the district.

A HUMAN SKELETON FOUND NEAR SOUTHEltNDOWN. Whilst engaged in the work of widending the road between St. Bride's Major and Southerndown. on Friday morning last, the workmen discovered a human skeleton in perfect condition. It lay about 3ft. in the earth, and was in a position of head foremost. Great excitement was expressed in the neighbourhood at the ghastly find.

CALVINISTIC METHODISM AT CADOXTON, BARRY. OPENING OF A NEW CHAPEL. To meet the growing requirements of the English Calvinistic Methodist cause in the Cadox- ton portion of the Barry district a handsome new chapel has been erected at Court-road, Cadoxton, the opening services in connection with which were commenced on Wednesday. Hitherto the members have worshipped at the building known as the Presbyterian-hall. The new building, which is a substantially-constructed one, has been erected by Mr. H. J. Money. Barry, from plans prepared by Messrs. Phillips and Holdgate. Cardiff, at a cost of :1112,000. The building, which comprises a schoolroom and chapel (the latter with a gallery at the rear), is of stone, with coloured bricks and Bath stone dressings. It scats 400 people, is fitted with Stothorpe gas fittings, and to heat the building hisgh pressure hot-water pipes have been laid down. The chapel—which, by the way, is to be called Bethel"—has a vestry and the usual offices attached. The seats are of pitchpine. and the prettily designed and spacious pulpit, and partly open panelled, gallery is also of the same wood, but wirh white pine panels. The building is admirably lighted, and cathedral-tinted and diamond rolled glass has been used. There are two staircases to the gallery. The vestibules and lobbies are paved with encaustic tiles. Taking the building as a whole, it must be confessed that it is one of the handsomest, best designed and commodious places of worship in the district, and both architects and contractor arc to be congratulated upon the result of their efforts. At three o'clock on Wednesday after- noon a public tea meeting was held in the school- room to which a large number sat down. The following ladies, among others, presided and assisted at the tables :—Mrs. Matthews, Mrs. C. Howe. Mrs. Taylor, Mrs. Edwards, Mrs. Evans. Mrs. Davies, Mrs. Roberts. Miss A. Williams, Miss R. Howe, Miss C. Rees. Miss Williams, Miss Hughes (Golden Grove). Miss Taylor, kc. In spite of the exceed- ingly inclement weather in the evening, a very large number attended the meeting held in the evening to formally mark the opening of the new building. The Rev. Aaron Davies (Pontlottyn), presided, and amongst thbse present were noticed the Revs. J. W. Matthews (the pastor), W. Tibbott (BrynSion Congregational Church), and T. Evans, and Messrs. Edwards (secretary), J. Barstow. G. Garrett, D. Howells, Llüyd. A. W Newman, J. L. Davies, C. Howe. II. L. Rogers. J. Meikel, Inspector Rees, T. M. Williams, J. T. John. Lawrence, Davies, &c. After a short preliminary devotional service, the secretary of the church (Mr. Edwards) read letters of apology for non-attendance from Mr. A. J. Williams, M.P. (Coedymwstwr), Alderman John Cory, J.P. (Porthkerry House), the Rev. Canon Allen, M.A. (rector of Barry), the Rev. John Pugh (Cardiff), the Rev. J. H. Stowell (Barry Congregational Church). Colonel Guthrie (Penarth), and Mr. J. Lowdon (Barry). The rev. chairman then delivered an interesting address, in the course of which he complimented the architects and contractor upon the successful outcome of their labours. Christian people, he continued, did their very best to save souls, and everything should be satisfactorily provided for such work. The people should be placed in the best position for hearing the gospel of Jesus Christ preached, and the preacher should be placed in the beit position, so that the people could hear the gospel. There was no doubt that one of the principal characteristics of the Welsh people was that of erecting places for people to assemble together to worship God. Besides being one of the principal, it was one of the noblest characteristics of the Welsh people. The gospel was one of the greatest forces in the country and and the world it had a tremendous power, and would outlive any other power. It was a power in doing good. In forming the character of man and developing the Christlike life in him, to enable him to be representative of Christ in character, in action, and in life. He hoped that in that new place of worship many would be brought to decide to be like Christ.—Appropriate addresses were afterwards delivered by Messrs. J. T. John. 0. Howells. J. Meikel, C. Howe, G. Garnett, J. Bar- stow. and the Revs. W. Tibbott, T. Evans, and J. W. Matthews, pastor. Special hymns were sung, and Miss R. Howe presided at the organ. The inaugural sermon will be delivered on Sunday next by the Rev. J. W. Matthews. During the day the Rev. Professor Ellis Edwards, M.A., Bala, will preach in English and Welsh. On Mon- day evening English and Welsh sermons will be preached respectively by the Revs. William Lewis. Pontypridd. and William James, Aberdare. The opening services will be continued on subsequent days, when the following ministers are announced to officiate :—Revs. J. G. Davies, Newport (Eng- lish). D. Cynddylan Jones, Cardiff (Welsh), and W. Evans, M.A.. Pembroke Dock. We may men- tion that a clock has been presented to the church by Mr. A. W. Newman, jeweller, etc., Cadoxton and Barry.
