THE CIVIL EIGHTS OFI WOMEN.
THE CIVIL EIGHTS OF WOMEN. LIBERAL MEETING AT BARRY DOCK. On Saturday evening a public meeting was held it Harry's Restaurant. Barry Dock, to hear addresses from Miss Amy C. Morant and Mrs. Inglis on the" Organisation of Women for Political Purposes." Miss Amy 0. Morant. late cf Newnham College, is organiser of the Welsh branch of the Liberal Women's Federation, and it is rather regrettable that there was not a larger muster to hear the very able addresses delivered by Miss Morant and Mrs. Inglis. Dr. Lloyd- Edwards presided, and there were also present Mr. and Mrs. Inglis, Miss Lowdon, Mr. and Mrs. W. Llewellyn Williams and Miss Jenkins, Mrs. Gore, Miss Weyland, Mr. Benjamin Lewis, kc. The Chairman, in introducing Miss Morant, regretted the small attendance, but remarked that from small beginnings in the ppst they had very large and flourishing- associations, and in many places where they had started under quite as dis- couraging circumstances they had done a lot of work. (Hear, hear.) Some of them knew from personal knowledge of the admirable work done by the Women's Liberal Federation during the last election in educating the people. The first political public work done by women was in con- nection with the Primrose League. They sought, by the aid of their Women's Liberal Associations to educate the people by mere force of intellect, not as the Primrose League did, who threw open magnificent parks and invited the people to Punch and Judy shows, and threw in a little politics with the shows. He hoped the women on the Liberal -side would never condescend to that. (Hear, hear.) Miss Morant said she was there that night to re- present the cause for political organisation for women. She admitted thao the movement was a comparatively new one. It v.ras prepared to give an account of itself, and prepared to still encounter misrepresentation and opposition, to reach its ambition—the broad ground of social welfare and the permanent progress of the race. (Hear, hear.) Some said this movement was a freak of fashion; j that might be the foam on the surface, but they knew that had little to do with the deep currents rushing underneath. In dealing with the question, Miss Morant took the negative side first and considered the objections most frequently brought against it. She 1 would first take the objection based not upon the inferiority of women, but rather from a sense of chivalry amongst men. She mentioned this objec- tion because it was raised by men whom they felt bound to reverence and respect. They wourd have women kept within a charmed circle, protected from contact with the hard realities of life. It was too late for that HOIV. Hundreds and thousands of women had to contend with the hard realities of life. The charmed circle did not exist for them it might for a few. but the case of the few in the purity of their homes was opposed by the heavy degradation of the many thousands of women. In the second place there were the arguments based on the inferiority of women. She was not con- cerned to debate that question. She held with the poet that woman was not the undeveloped part of man. She was willing to grant any amount of inferiority, and still she said women ought to enter into the political field. Some said women ought not to be politicians and have votes because they were not fitted to be soldiers, sailors, and police- men. (Laughter.) It was a curious argument that because there were some offices for which women were unfitted they should therefore not exercise the rights for which they were fitted. (Laughter and cheers.) They might as well say that men should not have political opinions because they were not specially fitted to stay at home, mind the baby, wash the clothes, and cook the dinner. (Hear, hear.) Thirdly, Miss Morant dealt with the medical objections raised. There were three con- siderations. First of all, since women were not able to remain within that charmed circle to which she had referred, since they were forced out into the battle of life, everything that tended to remove disabilities and incapacities must lessen the nervous wear and tear amongst women. Agsin they knew that new circumstances created new conditions. Therefore it was laid upon women to find means to adjust themselves to the new condi- tions of life. (Hear, hear.) It was often said as an argument against these movements that women often neglected their homes and children to rush into politics. She did not admit that Wail an argument. Suppose they found thirty women who did so, it did not prove that women should not undertake these things. There were few movements with any force grafted into them which did not go into extremes at first. Women were the mothers of the nation, and surely if they could get a wiser and nobler set of mothers of the nation, surely they might expect to get a wiser offspring, with broader ideas, wider sympathies, and nobler purposes. (Hear, hear, and applause.) Women would form political judgment, and express their opinions in the same way as men by the vote. She considered that power should be fallowed them to fill any public office for which they were fitted. There was the case of the lady who was elected for the first time on a Board of Guardians. She discovered that the children of the workhouse school were terribly crippled with chilblains. She spoke to the doctor and the Guardians who seemed to think there was nothing in it, but through being able to exercise her power as a Guardian she discovered that as the children's socks became torn, the matron was in the hatit of cutting the feet right off, and the ohildren walked about in their boots. There were other offices, such as on the School Board, upon which they knew women had done a good work. Education was a matter women took up before they took up political organisation, and upon which they had earned a right to speak. (Hear, hear.) They bad a clear case, both for a Parliamentary vote for the rank and file of women, and the opportunity of ■servino- in public offices for the few. There was only one way for the women. They must organise and combine, and that was why she thought there should be Women's Liberal Associations—(hear, hear)—to teach the Liberal women to combine and stand shoulder-to-shoulder in the work of the country (Applause.) In the last place, she would mention what she regarded as the positive advantages of this movement. It produced kindly and mutual hope, for the women would be able to keep up an interest and public spirit. There was ,an old saying that man was the head of woman. 'Shi was willing to adopt it if they would allow her to add that woman was the heart of man. 'They hoped to supply the motive power, whilst they called upon men to devise the practical ways ,and means of carrying out reforms. A woman would not lose her womanliness, but would add true manliness to men by taking her share of life's severer tasks. (Hear, hear.) Miss Morant con- ,eluded a very, excellent address by repeating' -the following lines :— And if she now in vision see her duty To lav aside for man her chiefest beauty, Her clinging, fond, and self-annulling mood, To ta.ke her share of life's severer burden^ And claim therewith the labourer's fitting guerdons, To buy her freedom, even with tears and blood. To leave sweet trammels, ay, than freedom sweeter, That all men'sflives through her's may grow completer, A full-grown woman guide the child that grows. If for the sake of all most greatly daring She burn to share the weights that men are sharing, While she may not escape her special love. Who is there man among ye, menan-1 brothers, Beloved of sisters, daughters, wives, and mothers, Who shall not draw deep breath and strain the arm Till every sinew, in strong tension, knitted. Ye stir gigantic griefs which these have pitied, And hand-in-hand with them, face storm and harm ? Unto your strength we look both now and ever To crown the work of our most true endeavour Tura not in scorn from this our call away, For there is sweetness in a two-fold sorrow, And promise fair of a diviner morrow, When ye, with us, shall hail the brighter day. The brighter day of manhood's rich fruition, When new and old, fresh genius, past tradition, All, all shall fuse and fertilise the soil. With purest light true womanhood surrounded, Her struggles healed and her true empire founded, To social peace shall pass this vain turmoil. Mr. Benjamin Lewis said as far as he could assist he should be pleased to help forward a movement similar to that mentioned by the speaker. Some women were physically strong, although they were looked upon as the weaker vessel, and he should be sorry to see the day when they would be acting as soldiers sailors, and policemen, but he hoped to live tosee the time when they would enjoy their rights. After a humorous reference to the Apostle PAl. Mr. Lewis expressed his sympathy with the moment, and said he should be glad to help on th cause. (Applause.) Mrs. Inglis next delivered a very forcible address, in the course of which she said :— It was somewhat unfortunate that meetii?^ con- vened more especially for women, or to flvocate women's rights, do not receive the supprt they ought to do from women themselves. It does seem to me that we are not yet fully awak to our duties and privileges, the fact is, ma,nyof. our sisters are content to dream and sigh for thi thmgs that ought to be. but that never will be solong'. as they indulge in that state of apathy which characterises so many half hearted people. Woman's political position is far from s&tis^kory, and is a subject on which there is much cfreraity of opinion, but to my mind there are thrP very good reasons why we should have a Vlce in politics. (lst) Because the duties and impossi- bilities of women are equally important P those of men. (2nd) Because under certaii laws women and children are the greatest s#erers. (3rd) Because as politicians we could CR-ini a right to be heard, and should have a better opportunity of stating" our grievances, and lavmg our wrongs redressed. (Hear, hear.) Fcause the duties and responsibilities of womlt are equally important to those of men. In n¡:nhcrs we form the larger part of the community,^0 are expected to obey the laws, and therefore ofto have a voice in the making of the same. Ai^vives and mothers and sisters we hold a very pro^lneiit and important position in the world ai com- panions and helpmates to the men, and as t^ner» of the rising generation, to advocate the jheral eause, the federation scheme by which %4 are leagued together to send only such m11 to Parliament as shall pledge themselve in favour of reforms, calculated to veto such things as the opium and liquor traffic, rorm in the marriage and divorce laws, equity of the sexes, and so on. As it is a fact theB are many thousands of women who have to earr £ heir living, it is only just and right they shouli>lave the same privileges as men. (2nd). Because nder t certain lawe women and children are the gr*test sufferers. Take for instance the licensing for the sale of alcohol which is a disgrace t "ur civilisation. Surely as law abiding citizen! and ratepityers we have a right to demand consiera- tion, and ought not to quietly submit to hye a public-house forced upon us whether we w^ or not; for who knows better than the wornei the evils arising from drink, the temptR.tiof of husbands and children the emptying of the ,ard- robe and cupboard, the tireless grate, the 1-tter cry of ianocent children, the undeserved crses and blows of husbands lunatic with the drinkfthe unrequited wrongs of a drunkard's wife are Hugs that stir UR to the very depths of our ri;ilu'e- God having laid on us the same responsibilD" as men, intended us to have the same privilegesand use our voice and influence in the making o the ,tl laws that govern our country. The ternpefUce party are as Loid Salisbury says the backbo? Of the Liberal party, and as that party we are::On- vinced that there are many wrongs that ougt to be righted, then why not unite our energies*111*! push this question of female franchise to^le front, eo that we can in time show an imptved state of things under petticoat government. M'd.) Because, us politicians, we could claim a rig* to be heard, and should have a better opportuhiP stating our grievances, and having our wi"1/8 redressed. We are much better adapted tc many public positions than men. We ougl" to be admitted into the law courts and serve as jifors in all cases where women are concezled. Our marriage and divorce laws w.ich most closely affect us are open to improvenf^t. Sir. I haow that many object to our taking par Ui and giving time to public affairs on the grcPld that it will make us indifferent to home dutiesind unwomanly in nature, but that is a great mist^e- Every true woman will use the development ,iber mental faculties and increased knowledge tc fit her more than ever to be a companion and a hlp- mate to her husband. To the unmarried therelre many other subjects which they can with ad^n_ tage study and turn their energies to. Weall now reckon on 270 members of Parliament plerS^d to the cause of justice to women. By united etprts we shall in time revolutionize society, and woien will then be, in a far wider and truer sense, the co-workers and hejpmates of those who #ve carried the burden of political affairs so 1119 alone. (Applause.) Mr. Llewellyn Williams expressed his sin^re sympathy with the movement, and read a Idt(--r regretting inability to attend from Mr. and frs. Alexander (Bryneithen). Miss Jenkins (vice-chairman of the Llanga<fe^ School Board) felt sure the movement wClld gather strength in Barry. In Carmarthen, a \lry scattered district of over 14 miles, they had a rol1:1- bership of about 70. If the women of Barry w<°W only take it up—women of all classes-and ifec together eocially, it would benefit them a g-eat deal. (Hear, hear.) The question of appointing a secretary was hs- cussed. Mr. Llewellyn Williams suggested Mrs. Inflis for the post. Mrs. Inglis said owing to other duties she est decline to accept the office. The usual votes of thanks concluded the business. APPOINTMENT OF OFFICERS. On Monday afternoon a meeting was helO at Harry's Restaurant, Barry Dock, to form a Womb's Liberal Association for Barry, when there present Miss Amy C. Morant (organiser for^ Welsh Union), Miss Kate Jenkins (Llangadojp), Mrs. Llewellyn Williams (Aelybryn), Jj}X Christmas Lewis, Miss Lewis (Cadoxton), Edwards (Gwynfryn), Miss Harry (Barry Dvlk), &c.

RE-OPENING OF THE WESLEYAN…
RE-OPENING OF THE WESLEYAN CHAPEL AT LLANCARFAN. SPEECH BY MR. JOHN CORY. The re-opening services of the Welsh Weslevan Chapel. Llancarfan, were held on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings of last week. when eloquent sermons were preached by the Rev. John Griffiths, Aberdare (secretary of the South Wales district), and the Rev. Robert Lewis, Ferndale. The chapel for some time past has been undergoing complete renovation, the work amounting to nearly £ 425. On Wednesday afternoon a social meeting was held, Mr. John Cory, J.P., in the chair. There were also present Mr. R. Lougher. Garn- Uwyd Messrs. Thomas Jones, William Hopkins, Rhys Davies, W. Griffiths. J. P.Powell, J.Harding, Rev. E. D. Lewis, Rev. W. E. Evans, Rev. Peter Jones (Cardiff), Rev. R. Lewis (Ferndale). and Rev. J. Griffiths (Aberdare). Mr. Cory announced his willingness to subscribe £ 25 towards the reno- tiou fund, but before the meeting closed he said he would gladly subscribe £50. providing the leading friends of the place would increase the amount of their subscriptions. All the services were well attended, and the Weslevan Society desire to make known its thankfulness to Mr. Cory for his generous gift. The Chairman, in the course of a very thought- ful and impressive address, remarked that he would remind those present there that day that they were met in the interest of Christ's Church. The Christian Church is unique in its dignity and importance, it is of Divine origin. Its founder is Christ Jesus, the son of God, the Saviour of mankind. It is unique in its historical continuity, towering as it does o'er the wrecks of time. It has risen above the fall of empires, and stamped out dynasties, and to-day it stands firm, immovable, holding aloft the blood-stained banner of the Cross, fulfilling its gracious, Heaven-born Mission, ever inviting poor strung-ling- humanity to take refuge, and find rest in the Rock of Ages. Millions have gathered within its fold froir. every age and every clime, and still there's room for millions more—all over the world, in every quarter of the Globe, the Church of the Lord is to be found, and its courts have become to sin-stricken hearts the very vestibules and nurseries of Heaven. As we contemplate its grandeur, its sublimity, ond reflect on its universality, of the myriads of human beings who have had their lives uplifted by its hallowed services of the Prophets, the noble army of martyrs, and the countless throng of the redeemed who have passed through its portals, having lived and died in the faith of its great founder, well might we say with a certain writer the sense of belonging to such a society trans- forms life.'7 The Church is of vast and ever widen- ing influence, and has given to the world the noblest men and women. It is the greatest uplifting force in all reforming influences. The divine Shekinah within it has rendered it impregnable to all assaults. The Church has had its magnificent triumphs in the Apostolic age and in suceeding ages, as well as its periods of persecution and apparent defeat. Still its indestructibility is its distinctive1 mark—" the gates of hell shall not prevail against it," and through blood and fire it has moved ever onward carrying on its beneficent work, and to-day its divine light shines near and far upon the turbulent waters of humanity, speak- ing Peace be still" to every Christian and seek- ing soul. What a privilege it is then to the mem- bers of the Church of God, and co-workers with God. You who are in Christ here assembled have thus become successors to the men and women of the Apostolic Church it is the same Church now, and here in this Weslevan chapel at Llancarvan as in the days of the Apostle, the promises of the word may be realised. Are you living up to your privileges as workers together with God You are called in Christ Jesus to a high vocation. He says, Ye are the salt of the earth," you are to be lights in the world, and the command of the founder of this Church universal down through the ages rings in your ears to-day Let your light so shine before men that they may see your gvod works, and glorify your Father which is in Heaven." The Lord has condescended to use our poor humanity in the gracious ministry He is carrying on among men. Through men the word of God was first given. Through men it is held forth now and ever will be. This will ever be the Church's work. But the word can be spoken now, only as it was spoken at the first. Men's thoughts must be baptized in the spirit, and touched with the living fire of holy love. May the Lord kindle the hearts of us all with a loving ardour, the brightness of which will make answer to His own. Let us invoke His aid, that we may live with the life whiiA overflows in loving care, in intercessions, and in countless services for God and humanity, and be blest to the leading back of many wandering feet, and in quickening many a lagging step in the way of righteousness. May you all have a high conception of the duties and responsibilities of Church membership. It is of no use belongingto any visible Church until we believe in Christ, and come to Him as a personal Saviour. I don't believe in looking upon a Church as consisting of Christened people, but of Christi&n people those who have joined Christ's Church because they are Christians, and are His. May the Lord make you wise to win souls. In order that the visible Church assembling1 for worship in this building may fulfil the mission designed by the great Founder, and that you, as members thereof, may one and all be endowed with power from on high for service, so that this place may ever be a centre of light and of spiritual attraction,unsullied by the operation of worldly and selfish interests, and that each and all in his daily walk may be true witnesses for Christ, let me urge upon you the importance of being much in prayer. Remem- ber the Apostolic injunction—Pray without ceasing. To be mighty in service you must be mighty in prayer, and to be mighty in prayer you must be mighty in love. He prayeth best who loveth best. All creatures, great and small, yor the great God above us, He made and loveth ail." All great workers have been mighty in prayer. To realise the privilege of moving the arm that moves the world, you must, first of all, be moved your- selves—the old self.-the old man must be done awav with. You must become new creatures in Christ Jesus ere you prevail in prayer and bring down the Holy Ghost to work upon the hearts and minds of your friends and neighbours, whom you desire to see saved. I believe in prayer, and that God hears and answers the prayers of his people. If two of you shall agree on earth as touching anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in Heaven." The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man avail- eth much." I am acquainted with many men and women engaged in the Lord's work who have tes- tified to most definite and signally-marked answers to prayers, and, no doubt, many of you can do the same. Prayer is a greater force in the ameliora- tion and improvement of humanity than the world or even the Church can ever dream of. The lives of good men and women are the salt of the earth—they stay the judgements of the Lord, and the daily prayers of believing, consecrated souls prevail with Heaven for human woes, and against human wrongs, far beyond what the finite mind can grasp or the imagination of man can conceive. Do you desire to be among the mighty in prayer, to wield this potent weapon for good in this Church in your homes, in your business, and in your daily work, in contact and dealing with your fellow men ? then pray to have a higher grander conception of what real prayer is than the vague misty, imperfect, low mistaken notions which too generally prevail with regard to this, the most sacred privilege accorded by God to man. It is not prayer, This clamour of our great wants That fills the air With wearying selfish plaints. It is true prayer To seek the Giver m">re .than gift; God's life to share, And love for this, our cry to lift. You see the point of these lines. We should seek God himself first, his other gifts will follow. "Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you." "Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness for they shall be filled." Communion with God first. Man was made and meant to hold communion with the Almighty, and to be a friend of heaven. Prayer of a kind is an instinct of the soul common to man wherever man is found but only the true believer in Christ, who accepted Him as his Saviour and the Lord of his life and conduct, can know what communion with the Divine Being really is. We can only hold true communion with a friend, and he must enter into hallowed friendly relationship with the Father ere we can talk with Him, as Abraham did. the friend of God. What a grand future would lie before the Church and this neighbourhood if every member—every man and woman connected there- with—came down from their chambers every t morning fresh from a hallowed, unconstrained communion with the Divine Father of the universe. What a halo would surround them, and what a hallowing influence would follow them every- where. How their lives would become the mightiest answers to their prayers in attracting the world by the brightness, the purity, and the high nobility of their characters. May the Lord abun- dantly make this a praying and a working Church.
A VESSEL FROM BARRY WRECKED.
A VESSEL FROM BARRY WRECKED. PART OF THE CREW LOST. Lloyd's agent at Saigon telegraphs on Monday that the British ship Gretna, bound from Barry to Hong Kong. has been totally lost on the Rifleman Shoal. Part of the crew were saved and landed at Saigon. The Gretna left Barry on July 6th. She was an iron sailing ship of 1,711 tons gross, built at Port Glasgow in 1883, and was owned by Mr. T. C. Guthrie, of Glasgow. A telegram received in Glasgow Tuesday by the owner of the Gretna states that Captain Webster and part of the crew have arrived at Saigon, but gives no further particulars. It is believed that the Gretna encountered the same gale in which the Bokhara and the Normand were lost. The Gretna was last spoken on the 16th inst. at Anger, on the coast of Java. She was laden with coals for the Admiralty. LIST OF THE CHEW. Among the crew were the followincr, who shipped at Cardiff John Webster, captain. William Honeymon, chief mate. J. L.

DANGERS OF SPORT.
DANGERS OF SPORT. IMPORTANT TO FOOTBALLERS I AND CYCLISTS. INSURE AGAINST RISK! Some time ago a young man named Edwards nearly met with a serious accident near Cadoxton while out cycling. This only illustrates how great is the danger attached to every form of out-door sport and amusement. Even now, when safety bicycles are so much used, a considerable amount of danger is inseparable from the popular pastime of cycling. The danger to which every player of Football —especially under the Rugby rules—is open lends, indeed, attraction and excitement to the game, but it, no doubt, deters many a poor man who can ill afford to be laid up with a fractured arm or leg from indulging in that healthy and invigorating game. In view of this the promoters of the SOUTH WALES STAR have determined to introduce a novel departure which will, we believe, not only com- mend the paper still more to the public, but which will prove of inestimable benefit to our local Cyclists and Footballers. To every person who has sustained an injury which will result in fracture of an arm or le while engaged in playing football or while cycling will be paid the sum of £ 5, provided the person so injured shall be the owner of the SOUTH WALES STAR for the current week, containing an Insurance Coupon with his usual signature written in ink thereon. RAILWAY AXD STREET ACCIDENTS. This Coupon Insurance will also cover all accidents which may happen to the owner of the j current SOUTH WALES STAg, while a passenger on any Railway, Steamboat, Tramway, Omnibus Street, or on any Public Road within the United Kingdom as a PRIVATE INDIVIDUAL. This Coupon Insurance, therefore, practically insures the possessor of one copy of the paper against all accidents that may happen to him, except at the time when following his ordinary occupation. Coupons have, however, been hitherto, in general. limited to railway accidents, and that for death only. A recently published Parliamentary return gives the number of persons killed and injured on the railways in the United Kingdom during 1890 as 918 KILLED AND 8,971 INJURED. Great as this number is, yst. having regard to the hundreds of thousands who travel upon the vast network of railway lines in the United Kingdom, it is an obvious reflection that railway travelling, as compared with the dangers of the streets, is by far the safest mode of progression. It has seemed to us and to others that a system of insurance which would give some compensation to those who meet with ACCIDENTS IX THE STREETS, and afford a welcome contribution towards the in- evitable expenses of such mishaps, would be a boon ¡ to the public at large. Hundreds of men, week in. week out. from year's end to year's end. travel by r railway, 'bus, or tram to and from business, who have not insured their lives or provided in any way against accident. The possibility of how to extend to these some modicum of protection is naturally hedged about by a great many dimculties but at least the benefits which we have now placed within the reach of the purchasers of our paper are such as could only be obtained from the com- pa.ny direct by paying more than the price of the paper. Football, which is a national game, is, by reason of the fervour with which it is played, attended with more danger than any other pastime, if we may judge from the number of accidents from time' to time reported. Having regard to the enthusiasm which it invokes in these districts, the circumstance that our insurance coupon pro- vides also for the INSURANCE OF PLAYERS of this game cannot fail to command cordial ap- proval. It is noteworthy that football risks have ordi- narilybeen regarded bvaccident insurance companies narilybeen regarded byaccident insurance companies as necessitating higher premiums, or indeed as un- desirable, and this has led to the institution of a Football Insurance Union. But while the insur- ance in this journal is limited to one coupon for each holder, it is not invalidated by any insurance, other than coupon, with anv Accident Company, but is in addition thereto. It is hardly necessary for us to dwell upon the fact that cycling, like everything else. has its dangers, but to use an Irish expression only more so," and the same benefits are extended to cyclists as to football players.
