PENMARK. DRUIDIsM.-On Tuesday evening last a special meeting of Lodge 821, U.A.O.D., was held at the Six Bells Inn, Penmark, for the purpose of initiating the Rev E. Morgan, vicar of Penmark. as an honorary member. Bro P. A. White (718), D.C.S. Barry, presided, at the special invitation of the lodge officers, and was supported by P. A. W. Preece, A.D. T. James, sec. John Jones, V.A. T. Roberts, assistant secretary R. Rees, Bards Palmer and Power, and Guardian pro tern. Mahoney. There was a good attendance of members and visiting brothers. After the initiation had been carried out, the lodge passed a hearty vote of thanks to the Rev E. Morgan for his kindness in attending, for by doing so it would encourage them on in their work, which they claimed to be doing to the best of their ability, seeing that during 1893 their district, though not a large one, had paid somewhere about Y,5,0, in funeral allowances, jE280 as sick pay. and P.6 10s as relief to distressed members of the society. It was hoped that ere long other gentlemen of the locality would join with them, not exactly to assist, but to encourage the members. Bro the Rev E. Morgan very fittingly responded, thanking the lodge for their invitation to him, and went on to point out the advantages offered by friendly societies to all classes. During the evening several members expressed the hope that the worthy Squire of Fonmon would soon join the lodge as an honorary member, as that gentle- man's influence, it was felt, would tend to ensure the future success and prosperity of the lodge. Thanks were given to the visiting officers and members at the close of a very successful meeting. CARDIFF.
