THE NEEDS OF WALES.
THE NEEDS OF WALES. Before leaving England for the Cape, where he lias been ordered to spend the winter, Mr T. E. -Ellis, M.P., wrote to a Welsh correspondent ipointiag out some of the needs of Wales which lie outside party politics. These Mr Ellis defines as fellows 1. A band of young men in every district devoted to the work of beautifying our elementary schools, of covering their walls with pictures of natural objects, with portraits of great men, especially of great men who have served or have been connected with Waits permanent photograph. of castles, abbeys, raina, beautiful churches, and historic chapels also, determine to start evening schools, and to make them ligkfc and attractive by teaching Welsh literature AND history, by wood-cilrying and HOME industries. 2. National monuments of the great Welehnten of the p&4t, or of great evsnts in Welsh history. Among ■vreat Welshmen may be mentioned Llewelyn ap MOLMITFC, Llewelyn, Owen Glyndwr, John Penry, JOHN Elian. Among great events take Hywel Dda'S Eeafc national council to settle the Welsh codes of W. It is a, pity there are no tablets on houses where bards, preachers, and powerful men have been born or bare lived. Nothing enriches a village or motion more than noble memories. 3. Persistent and irresistible agitation for a Welsh National Museum and Gallery & Welsh National Library, established and maintained by the State. Of the thonatmd pMntingt) of the beautiful and varied landscape of Wales, the Welsh nation own not one. The records and manuscripts of Wales are penned up unedited and unpublished in London. Collections of Tare arid valuable Wekh books are constantly sold and scattered because there is no National Library of Wales. Scotland and Ireland secure thousands of pounds, for their, national museums, galleries, and libraries. Wales, with as old and unbroken a ACTIONAL life and as distinctly marked » nationality, <Abtaixit8 not A single penny for these institutions, 'WHICH ARE possessed by every self-respecting and vwell-governed nation. 4. The greatest need of all is that all the sons NAAD daughters of Wales should be trne to Wales, en .and should think nobly and work bravely for her •GLORIOUS future.

.NODION CYFFREDINOL.
NODION CYFFREDINOL. GAN "SYLWEDYDD" Hawyr anwyl! Onid oes gan Eglwyswyr ein tref ddim glvell gwaith i'w wneyd na chweryla a chadw swn o berthynas i bethau na ellir byth en dadwneyd ? Y mas yn ymddangos i mi, syr, mae eu hunig amcan ydyw enwogi eu hunain ar draul Iorwerth y Chweched, Cranmer, ac Elizabeth. Yn ol fy marn i, nid ydyw o un pvys i ni fel Ejclwyswyr y bedwaredd- ganrif-ar-bymtheg beth ydoedd eymeriadau y rhai a gymerasant rhan yn nygiad oddiamgylch y diwygiacl a gymmerodd le yn nheyrnasiad Harri'r Wythfed, ond yn hytrach y daioni a ddeiUiodd i ni oddiwrth hyny. Y mae arnaf ofn fod eich gohebwyr yn colli golwg ar un ffaith bwysig, sef fod trefn Rhagluniaeth yn rhy- fedd iawn, a bod Duw yn ami iawn yn defnyddio offerynau, anghymwys hollol yn ein golwg ni, er d wyn oddiamgylch ei ewyllys a'i ddibenion doeth ef ei hun. *#* Nid wyf yn myned ifeirniadu nac ymyraeth a'r hyn a ddywed eich gohebwyr, ond yn hytrach ga iawaf iddynt benderfynu eu cweryl rhyngddynt eu hunain. Ond yr wyf aai ddyweyd eymaint a hyn, mae goren po leiaf y dywedant parthed yr arferion Pabyddol a gerir ymlaen yn ein gwlad y dyddiau presenol. AT yn y fan yma dywedaf yr hyn a ddywedais o'r blaen- eibodyn resynus meddwl fod rhai o offeiriaid Eg-Iwys Loegr yn rhoidi help llaw er eia dwya unwaith yn rbagor o dan iau ormesol y Babaeth. Nis gwn a fu rhai o'ch gohebwyr yn eglwys y Parch G. A. Jones, Caerdydd, erioed, ond as na, bydded iddynt, os byta yr ant i Gaerdydd, dalu ymweliad a hi, a chant weled os nad gwir yw yr hyn yr wyf yn ei ddyweyd. Ac nid yr eglwys hon yn unig, ond hefyd St Germain's Roath, â: St Margaret, Roath, a hwy a gant weled yno ddim atngen na Phabyddiaeth yn ei grym." Yr hyn a welwn a'n llygaid yr ydym yn rhwym o gredu. ,<' Y mae eich gohebydd British Catholic," yn ys- grifenu mewn iaith gref, ac yr wyf yn beiddio dweyd ei fod yn cam-liwio cymeriad un o'r dynion mwyaf a weloddein gwlad erioed. Pan y mae y fath a Burnet, Fuller, Dr Laurence (Arehesgob Cashel), &c., yn ei godi i'r cymylau, onid ydyw yn chwith, ac yn dyfod with bad grace," fod dynion cymharol fychain yn y byd duwinyddol, hanesyddol a gwleidyddol, yn beiddio cyffwrdd a chymeriad dyn o fath Cranmer Cynghorem ef i ddarllen awduron safonol (standard authors) cyn rhuthro i'r wasg gyda'r syniad y bydd i'r cyhoedd dderbyn y fath ffwlbri fel gwirionedd. Gwnaeth Cranmer ei oreu, ac nis gallwn ddisgwyl i neb wneuthur mwy na hyn, a gwnaeth ef hefyd yr hyn yr oedd yn gredu fyddai er lies cyffredinol yr Eglwys a'r wlad. Nid oedd, a bydded i "British Catholic" gofio hyny, Cranmer ond bod dynol fel ef ei hunan, ac nad oedd ond offeryn yn llaw yr Hwn sydd yn goruweh-iywodraethu pob peth er tywallt ei fendithion arnom fel cenedl. "Os bu i un o ddylanwad a dysg Cranmer fethu dal o dan eifeithiau caredigrwydd, pan yn cael eu defnyddio er ei arwain ar gyfeiliorn, er ei fod o'r blaen wedi gallu edrych yn amyneddgar a siriol, ar y posiblrwydd o angau annaturiol, faint mwy y dylem ni yn yr oes hon wylio rhag cael ein denn ar gyfeiliorn drwy ddylanwad ffafrau dynion a llwyddiant bydol." Dyma. yr hyn a. ddywed yr Eagob Short o berthynas i'w gwymp, a chredaf yn gyd- wybodol nad ydyw yn mhell o'i Ie. Araf bach, British Catholic," y gwir a saif. V Yr wyf yn gobeithio y bydd i'r cyhoedd ddarllen yr ohebiaeth o wythnos i wythnos, ac y bydd iddynt farnu yn deg a gonest, gan bwyso y gwahanol olyg- iadau a rydd eich gohebwyr, yn mhafl chwareu teg, gonestrwydd a sobrwydd.

ADGOF UWCa ANGBOF. HEN ARFERION CYMREIG. Nid oes dim wedi cyfnewid yn gymaint yng N ghymru a'r dull y dathlir priodasau. Y mae yr holl rialtwch a'r llawenydd oedd yn cymeryd lle wedi diflanu. Yr hen arferiad oedd, yn Sir Aberteifi, pan fuasai par ieaaac yn penderfynu cymmeryd eu gilydd er gwell ac er gwaeth, i'r rhieni benodi diwrnod i gyf- farfod a'u gilydd, yr hwn a alwyd "Dyddio." Ar ol cyflawai ammodau y briodas, y gwaddol, &c., yr oedd y gostegion yn cael eu galw yn yr Eglwys. Nid oedd (priodasau yn cymeryd lie mewn capeli nac yn swyddfa. y cofrestydd o fewn fy nghof i. Yr wyf yn cofio gweled y darpar-wr a'r ferch yn myned o amgylcb i dai eu cymydygion i'w gwahodd i'r neithior, yn mhlwyf Llanbadarn Fawr. Y mae yn ym- ddangos oddiwrth llaw-ysgrifau Lewis Morris fod y gwahoddwr yn caelei anfon o amgylch, a'i Non fawr wedi ei gwisgo âg. ysnodenau. Galwai yn mhob ty, safai ar ganol y llawr, ac adroddai ei araeth. Wele un o areitbiau yn 1762. gan Lewis Morris, Penbryn, Llanbadarn Fawr:— Arwydd y gwahoddwr yw hyn: Yn vwyn ac yn bawddgar, yn lan ac yn deuluaidd, dros Einion Owen a Llio Ellis, a'ch ewyllus da ar y ddesgel. Dewch ag arian disai swiltneu ddau, dau neu dri, pedwar neu bump. R 'ym ni'n gwahodd caws, ac ymenyn, y gwr a'r wraig, a'r plant, a'r gweision a'r morwynion, o'r mwar hyd y lleiav. Dewch yno yn foreu; cewch vwyd yn rhodd, a diodyn rhad, ystolion i eiste, a physgod os gallwn eu dal, ac pnide cymmerwch ni yn esgusodol, ac nhw ddon' bwytbau pan alwocb am danynt, Yn codi allan o'r van a'r van." Parbaodd yr arferiad hon yn nyffrynoedd Teifi ac A,eron hyd haner can mlynedd yn ol; ond nid yn ami. Cyfansoddodd Daniel Dda. "Gâll y Gwahoddwr." Yr oedd eraill yn anfon llythyrau argraphedig yn mhen isaf y Sir. Cymmerai priodasai le dydd Gwener fynychaf, a dygid yr ystafell neu ddodrefn y briodas- ferch dydd Iau. Derbyniai y ferch- roddion o arian, caws ac ymenyn, &c., 800 yn yr hwyr eyahelid "Pwrs" a "Gwregys" yr hen Gymry. Yr oedd rhyddid i'r portion ddarllaw gyforbya ar neithior a gwerthu cwrw. No3 cyn y briodas ymgasgUi y cymydygion i yfed cwrw a chyfrana rhoddion. Ar foreu y briodas dewisai y darpar-wr nifer o'r bechgyn mwyaf heinit'; ao os priodas geffylai fyddai hi, yr oedd y marchogwyr a'r ceffylau goreu ya cael eu dewis l fyned i y briedasferch. Gelwid y rhai hyny mewn rhai manaa ya "scouts" neu look-outs." Nid gwaith hawdd oedd cael gafael yn y ferch. Yr oedd hi yn eael ei chuddio. Yr oedd y portion yn gofaln cael rhigymwyr da. Gofynai gwyry darpar- wr am y ferch mewn barddoniaetli, ac atebai cyfeillion y fereh o'r ta fewn. Cymmeraicystadlenaeth le rhwng y ddau gter ardd, ac nid oeddynt yn gofala beth a ddywedent ar y cyfryw aehlysuron. Un tro yr oedd y clerwr or tu fewn yn cael ei ddrwg dybio o fod yu Itsidr defiid. T-tniodd awen an o'i wrthwya^bwyr Gwrando leidr hoew'r ddafad, Ti eydd yma heddy-w 'n geidwad; A'i ayna y rheswm can y drwsau, Bh^g dwyn y wreigan liw dydd goIao: P." Terfynai y cystadleuon hyn yn ami mewn ymladd- feydd a. phastynu. Wedi i'r ymdrechfa farddonol agorai y tad y drws. a gwahoddai yr ymwelwyr i fewn. Nid oedd y perygl o golli y ferch drosodd yma; marchogai o'r ty i'r eglwys wrth ysgil ei thad neu ei brawd, aa ar bob croes-heol cynnygai parti y fareh ddiftnea hi ymaith marchogent fel gwallgofiaid, a.c weithia.u llwyddent i ddiano nes y byddai yn rhy ddiweddar i fyned i'r eglwys. Cafodd llawer un ei chuddio yn Melin Person." Wedi blino elent i'r eglwys, ac wedi myned trwy y gwasanaeth, yr oedd yn berygl i ddyn gerdded trwy bentref Llan- badarn ar amser priodas ar geffylau. Yr oedd cwart o gwrw yn cael «i ,roddi i'r cyntaf a ddenai a'r gair faiy ddan yn wr a gwraig. Dychwelai cwmniy briodas yn ol i dy y par ieuane, lie yugpedd neithior, neu "taith" fel yr oeddyn cael, ei galw ar lanau Teift. Eisteddai y gwr a'r wraig ar, bob pen i'r bwrdd i dderbyn pwython, so wrth en hochor ddau ysgrifenydd. Yr oeddent yn derbyn weithiau o ddeu- gain i dri ugain pant, yr hyn oedd yn help mawr iddynt ddechreu eu byd, Yr oedd yr. arferiad yn yr hen amser i'r p«r ieuanc fyned i Eglwys Llan- oodarnar y Sul ar dl y briodat, so yn derbyn pwythonyny Gellir orlain yr arferion priodssol hyn i'r hen oes* oedd ym mhlith y llwythaa Celtaidd. Ar ol penoii dydd y briodas cymmeMnt ofat i anfon cenhadydd ffraeth i ymweled a'r hoil gestyll i wabodd y rhyfel- wyr a'r oanlynwyr i'r briodas. Yr oeddyr gwahodd- ydd yn ddyn o gymtceriad da, ac yn byawdl, a digon Q arabedd.a digrifweh. Dywed Strutt fod yr arferiad o gyfrauu pwython yn mhlith y Saosoniaid. NOS CALAN GAUAF. Yn amser y Derwyddon yr oedd tanau yn cael en cynnen ar Nos Calan Ganaf, eef y nos gyntaf o'r gasaf. Yr oedd y bobl yn dyhndde eu tanaa «r oael tan oddiar yr Allor Dderwyddol. Yr oedd yr ben bobl yn tain sylw mtwr i't noswaith hon. Yr oedd y bwbachod allan ar ben bob heol, ac ni feiddiai nn plentyn fyned allau yn y nos yn Cwm Rheidiol. Yr oeddent'yn credu fod enwan pob un oedd i farw y flwyddyn ganlynol yn cael eu galw yn yr Eglwys. yr oeddtraddodiadyn ardal Ystumtuen i glochydd Yipytty fyned i wrando wrth ddrws yr Eglwye, a'r enw cyntafa alwyd oedd ei enw ef ei hun. Cafodd ei ddychryn yn fawr, aeth adref, clafyehodd, a bu f«rw. Yr oedd dynion ieuainc yn arfer eelåded yn wysg eu cefnau at iwyn unig, a thyna dyrnsid o borfa wrth ei fan, ac yr oedd yn sicr o gael gwallt ei wraig ddyfodol, neu y ferch gael gwallt ei gwr, yn y glaswellt. Pan oeddwa yn aros yn nhy fy nain, Ffynon Wea Uchaf, gwelais y gwas penaf, o'r enw William Powell, ya cerdded at y llwyn yn wysg ei gefn i fyny Hechwedd serth. Chwiliodd y bdrfa, so yr oedd yn frith a wallt. Yr oedd ef yn falch iawn ond cafwyd allan fod y da yn arfer ymrwbio yn y ddraenen wen.

LEGENDARY" FESTIVALS.
LEGENDARY" FESTIVALS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE ABERYSTWYTH OBSERVER. Sir,—I think that there is a strong internal evid- ence that "Churchman" had a parson at his elbow when writing, and after reading history upside down, and consulting Cardinal Newman's works, what appeared in the ''Observer" of last week was pro j duced. It is something in the style of a sermon, und which your readers will do well to read carefully, and pass an impartial judgment thereon, for after all they (your readers) are the proper judges. He seems to have passed over without noticing it, the passage in the preface to the Prayer Book where the name of St. Augustine occurs. He does not bring forward one single instance in which it is recommended to observe the black letter days," as he calls them. Is it not strange if they were intended by the Church to be observed, that there is not a short collect, a verse of scripture, a short p-alm, or a hymn, appointed for some of them ? There is nothing of the 'o kind. The fact is they never were intended to be observed, and it is quite illegal. Besides, there is an Act of Parliament now in force which after mention- ing all the lawful holidays and festivals, as they are set down in the tables in the Prayer Book, goes on to state that it was enacted that all the days therein mentioned should be kept holidays, and none other." The 54 other saints mentioned in Churchman's list are not-recognised by the Church, and I challenge him to prove the contrary. I am aware that there is a party in the Church calling itself the E.C.U., which is trying to bring in this innovation and many others, to the great annoyance of quiet religious members of the Church. If" Churchman" will turn to his Prayer Book he will find, immediately befere the calendar, a table of lessons for Sundays and holidays throughout the year, and the last of all in the table is All Saints," a day set apart by the Church to commemorate, any saints that are considered worthy of commemoration, for it must be remembered that all the so-called Popish saints were not canonized or made saints for many years, some of them hundreds of years, after their death, and most of them are exceedingly apocryphal. The reformers having laid aside the celebration of a great many holidays, whic i hid grown oo numerous and cumbersome to the Church, thought fit to retain this day instead of all black letter days. Churchman states in one part of his article-" I find therein nothing whatever to intimate that the black letter days, were retained either on account of court of justice, for reminder of tradesmen or handicraftsmen, &c. Compare this with what he stated about St. David and St. Crispin. Is not that the very reason stated in my last letter P Where is consistency "Churchman?" He has not said a word about the black letter days b -ing wholly absent from the first and second books of Edward VI., when all the lawful festivals are there. He and his friends are continu- ally referring to the first book when it suits their own purpose. Churchmen has not a leg to stand upon except his own fancy. Churchman makes a. kind of a negative admission that he believes the legends which appeared in the Observer on the 20th September. Well, as for myself I believe that there is as much truth in them a. there is in the old story, which I heard when I was a boy, that his satanic majesty built the Devil's Bridge. As to the popish pretended miracle he says bot does not believe it, and adds but am not in a posi- tion to disprove it." What is the meauing of that ? It happens, however, that it can be disproved, for the water and wine are exactly the same taste, after as before the performance. It was very different with oar blessed Saviour when he turned water Into wine. That was the best wine, with no trace what- ever of the taste of water in it. This turning of the back at the communion table is the most objection- able of all the six points of the E.C.U., as it leads toward transubstantiation. As to the lifting of the plate and cup, I consider that it leads in the same direction. Why does not the ministering priest stand at the north side of the table, as he is enjoined to do by the rubric P Turning to the east when saying the creeds is quite a different thing. The attitude and gesture of some of the young clergy of the present day is extremely objectionable, a practice which ought to be put a stop to at once. The word altar is used more than once by "Churchman." That word is not in the Prayer Book at al!. In the communion service we find the expression "Lord's table" or "table" at least sixteen times, but the word altar not once. The evangelists know nothing of this altar. St. Luke speaks of the table," and St. John mention* at the table "—no altar. In the Acts of the apostles, though the "breaking of bread is often mentioned, the word altar is Mever used and in the epistles of the apostles the word altar is never need in connec- tion with holy sacrament. This word altar," which we hear continually, is nothing but preparing for the Popish sacrifice of the Mass." Where are we drifting to ? "Churchman's" remarks respecting the famons work of the Rev Charles Wheatley, M.A., from which I quoted in my last letter, reminds one of the fable of the frog and the ox. As to what he states about Nonconformists, I believe that persons like him widen the breach between them and the Church every day. It appears that I have incurred the ire of your twin correspondents by using two words which they do not like. I did not expect they would. I nsed them because no stronger terms occurred to my mind at the time to set forth the corruption that was in the Church before the Reformation, which movement began more than a 120 years before Henry VIII. was born. That is at the time when Wickliffe translated the scriptures into the English language, and wrote other books. The following are a few among many others of the corruptions :—Worshipping the Virgin Mary, adoring the host, praying to and worshipping saints and angels, adoring images and relics, selling indulgences which destroyed all discipline, which practices your correspondents appear to be desirous of restoring into the Church. When reaction comes —as come it most surely will—it is to be hoped that there will be no running to the contrary extremes. Please to allow me to have a word with "British Catholic." He most be quite unacquainted with history, or his prejudiced mind against the objects of his wrath—some of whom have been dead over 340 years—has caused him to disregard facto altogether. I have been living many years amongst Papists of all classes, and I know something about them, and I am quite sure that "B.C." has been amongst them too, for he makes use of the same language verbatim ae the Papists do when mentioning the same names as B.C." does in his very polite letter. In the last will of Henry VIII. it was stated that his son Edward was to succeed him then Mary, and after her Elizabeth and the three did reign after him. It is not true to say that Elizabeth was an usurper. It is not true that Bishops refused to crown her, as they met her at Highgate, and, kneel- ing before her, tendered their allegiance, and the coronation was conducted with great magnificence, and was hailed with great joy by the people who were tired of the gloomy reign of Mary. It is not true that Elizabeth's title to the crown wae disputed, but Mary's title was disputed, as Lady Jane Gray succeeded Edward for a few day. quite against her will. Whatever sins the two aistei s were answerable for, surely they could not be answerable for their births. I Archbishop Cranmer, in the hands of Providence, was a great blessing to this country. Was it not he that was the means of having the great Bible printed and published in England ? He died at the «t«ke for Ms religion. There were five times more* murd#»« ;nd t;Ile}tieain the short reigij of five years and a half of Mar" ^lau faring Any five years "lid a half of Elizabeth, 'itin.?* that >the boy king might have escaped the sneer correspondent*, ae he died before he was siifteeil years of tore. Cranmer, doubtless, had his faults", like any other man bnt did not St. Peter deny his Mmbe' almost in his presence.—Yours obediently, 3rd Nov., 1 £ 90. J. DAVIO.
THE REVISION OF THE PRAYER…
THE REVISION OF THE PRAYER BOOK. TO THE JBDITOB OF THE ABERYSTWYTH OB8IRVBR. Sir,—I am rather inclined to think that your corres- pondent Mr J. Davies has misunderstood my remarks with regard to the last Revision of the Prayer Book, I find, on referring to my notes, that I have said nothing of the kind, and will be thankful to him if he will oblige me by re reading the remark of which he complains. What I said was this :-— 0 berthynas i'r hyn a ddywed eich gohebydd J.D.' parthed y Lectionary, nis gwn pa una'i gwall argraphyddol ynte ei eiddo ef ydyw pan y dywed mai yn 1661 yr ad-drefnwyd y cyfryw. Mor bell ag y gallag ganfod, nid yn 1661, ond yn 1561 eu had. drefnwyd, yr hyn a wna wahaniaeth o gan mlynedd, ac t-ydd) hefyd a bwys." Therefore, sir, auy one conversant with the Welsh language will see that I meant the" Lectionary," and not the "Prayer Book as a whole. To say that it was in 1561 and not 1661 that the Prayer Book was revised, when facts prove to the contrary, would be Bheer foolish- ness on my part. But what I have written I still adhere to, until your correspondent proves that I am in the wrong.—Yours truly, SYLWEDYDD.
BOROUGH MAGISTRATES' COURT.I
BOROUGH MAGISTRATES' COURT. I We dens day. Before Mr Griffith Willi ims, mayor, and Mr D. J. Davies. I ASSAULT. John W. Richards, Belle-vue Hotel, under-boots, was charged by Anne Richards, Moor-lane, with having assaulted and beaten her on Saturday. The complainant said that on Saturday night between seven and eight o'clock, she was talking at the top of Moor-lane, when the defendant, who was her son. came up and asked for the key of the house, as he wanted a pair of socks. She gave him the key, ;,nl told him where the socks were. He knocked the table down, and broke everything that was on it. '¡. Later on in the evening he wanted to fight in the street, and to have his revenge he came to her and abused her. He knocked her on the chin and eye. and kicked her on the hip. He was very drunk. She ¡' said she did not want anything from him, but wanted protection as she was afraid of him. Defendant denied that he had kicked her, but ad- mitted that he pushed her against the table. Defendant was bound over in the sum of X5 to keep the peace for six months, and to pay the costs. 1 POOR RATES. The summons against the Rev John Williams, Bridge-street, for refusing to pay the sum of £ 2 17s. 0d. poor rates in respect of the Salvation Army Barracks, was further adjourned. THANKS. The Mayor said that as it was the last time for him to sit on the bench he wished to thank every one from the bottom of his heart fer the help he had received from them.
LITERATURE.
LITERATURE. "In Cloud and Sopshine" is th > titb of a little book of poens by Mr J. Pie ce, M.A.. author of St.-nzis and Sonnets," aid published hyTrabner and Co., London. Most of these verss-the nuthor would modestly disclaim any more ambitions tide— are admirably adapted for recitation. All readers of poetry wid welcome the book aa a scholarly and elegant oasis in the arid desert of the countless books of poems which are issued from fie press now- Th.3 tre anient of th<s various subjevs is fresh, while thestyl iis charmingly etty and natural: there is, above ail, a pervading sense of that ra.tlly good taste which is looked for in vain in so many ot the preten- tious poems which flood the market week by week. TllJ author is, we believe, a near relative of Mr Dormer Pierce, B.A., who for some time has been the energetic editor of the "Si. David's College Miga- ziuc." Gems are scattered throughout th* book in generous profusion, but our space does not permit ns to insert any of the versus as specimens of the work.
ABERAYRON.
ABERAYRON. The "Observer" is sold at Aberayron by Mrs Davies, 4, Alban-square. HARVEST ROME.-Thanksgiving services for the harvest were held at Henfynyw parish church on Thursday, October 16th, at 6 in the evening. The Rev Morgan Evans, vicar of Llanddewi Aberarth, I read the service, and the Rev W. Jones, of Llanon, Carmarthenshire, delivered a most appropriate and practical sermon.—On Friday, the 17th, services of the same nature were held at Trinity Church ¡ Aberayron, morning and evening. At eleven- n the morning a Welsh sermon was preached by Vne Rev D. Lewis, Llanon, Cardiganshire, and an English one by the Rev W. Jones, Llanon, Carmarthenshire. The service was all English except the Welsh sermon. The congregation was very small, English services being not very taking in the place. At 6 in the even- ing the church was filled to overflowing by a most attentive congregation. The service was read by the vicar, the Rev W. O. Edwards, whilst the Revs O. Lewii and W. Jones delivered most impressive sertnoftS. The edifice was decorated in its usual style, the decorations being entirely confined to the upper middle class. A special feature at the evening service was the excellent congregational singing. Those in charge of the singing had wisely chosen the old favourite Welsh tunes, and the consequence was that the singing was really enjoyable. The effect of the last tune "Y Delyn Aur," was simply grand. Two anthems were also soag by the choir, under the leadership of Mr Jones, bookseller—" Teilwng yw'r Oen," by Dr Parry, the solo being taken by Mr Peters, National School, and Bydd melus cofio j Cyfammod," by "Isalaw." Miss Maggie Davies, London House, ably presided at the harmonium during all the services.
- LLANGORWENi
LLANGORWENi The All Saints' services held at Llangorwen church commenced on Friday evening, at seven o'clock. The ReT J. P. Evans, Ll&nfihangel-y-Croyddin, intoned the service and read the lessons, and the sermon was preached by the Rev W. Gabe, Goginan. On All Saints' Day, at eight, there was a celebration of the holy communion, the Vicar and the Rev W. Gabe officiating. At 10.30 the Vicar intoned the service, the pulpit being occupied by the Rev J. P. Kvans, Llantihangel Croyddin, who preached an eloquent sermon. At two o'clock prayers were read by the Rev G. Roderick, Llancynfelin, and the Rev J. Lewis, Llanilar, delivered an excellent sermon, it six o'clock the Rev J. Y. Evans intoned the service, and the Rev J. M. Griffiths, Llanfihangel Geneu'rglyu, gave a very appropriate sermon. The lessons were read by Mr H. Bonsall and Mr G. S. Harrison. The singing was go-td (congrega- tional), Miss Hughes, Ffynonddu, presiding at the h-rmotiium. The clergymen present were the Revs J. Pngh, R.D., Llanbadam-fawr, W. Evans, vicar of the parish, J. Rees Bangor, G. Roderick, Llancyn. felin. A. Williams, Eleroh, M. Morgan, Penrhyncoch, W. Morgan, Talybont, J. Y. Evans, curate of Llan- badarn-f*wr. The clergy and their wives were entertaintd at lunch by Mrs Bonsall, Cwm. whilst Mr and Mrs Oliver, Ffynonddu, amply provided for the visitors. The weather was not very promising in the morning, but the sun shone out duriag the after- noon. There were pretty gcol attendances during the day, censidering it being Saturday.
