BATTERSEA TOWN HALL.-Edrychir yn mlaen am gyfarfod hwyliog yn y neuadd uchod nos Fercher nesaf. Bydd yr adran gerddorol ac adroddiadol, heb son am y cystadleuaethau eraill gymer Ie, yn ddyddorol. Mae'n wybyddus 1 ran fwyaf o Gymry Llundain fod yr eglwys leuanc hon wedi myned o dan faich trwm yn ddiweddar. Modd bynag, hyderir y ceir bagad o bobl i'r lie y noswaith yma. Yr ydys wedi sicrhau cadeirydd o'r iawn ryw—Mr. W. Davies, Y.H. Apeliwn at gyfoethogion y brifddinas i daflu hatling i'r Building Fund. Mewn undeb mae nerth. Mae'r cyfarfodydd a gynhaliwyd o dro i dro yn y lie yn y gorphenol wedi troi allan yn llwyddianus. Ac y mae yma wragedd a merched ieuainc nad oes eu bath am gwpanaid o de, a choffi hefyd. Dewch yn llu, a chewch eich talu yn dda am ddyfod. Bydd y cyfarfod yn cychwyn am chwech o'r gloch. Dywed yr ysgrifenyddion wrthym fod amryw o gantorion eisoes wedi anfon eu henwau i mewn, ac y mae y rhagolygon yn addawol am gystadleuaethau da ar yr oil o'r testynau.—B. E. D. CLAPHAM JUNCTION. — Yn ein nodyn yr wythnos ddiweddaf yr oeddem yn gobeithio y buasem yn clywed Mrs. R. G. Davies, Pont- ardulais, yn canu unwaith yn rhagor cyn ei dychweliad yn ol i Gymru. Daeth ein dymuniad ni i ben nos Sul, pryd y cawsom ddatganiad prydferth o'r hen emyn, "0, Iesu mawr, rho'th anian bur," ar yr hen don Genevieve," yr hon sydd mewn bri mawr yn Neheudir Cymru ar hyn o bryd. Gresyn yw nad ydym yn cael ychwaneg o unawdau yn ystod y gwasanaeth ar nos Suliau. Y mae yn yr eglwys nifer dda o chwiorydd gyda lleisiau ardderchog, a dylid rhoddi iddynt bob mantais fel ag y gallent ddod allan yn fwy amlwg yn y byd cerddorol. Nid ydym yn eu clywed ond yn rhy anaml. Gobeithio y bydd i'r swyddogion gymeryd awgrymiad fel hyn yn garedig.-L. THE LONDON KVMRIC LADIES' CHOIR.— This choir held a grand evening concert on the 6th inst. at the Kingsland Congregational Church, N.E. Although the weather was ex- tremely rough, a huge crowd assembled to hear the singing, which was of the usual high standard, and greatly appreciated. Almost every item was encored, while the choruses were received with deafening applause. The takings were added to the Building Fund.- BRYTHON.

CWMNI'R PRUDENTIAL. Cwyno a thuchan mae'r byd masnachol wedi bod ar hyd y flwyddyn sydd newydd fyned heibio, a dengys yr adroddiadau blynyddol ynglyn a mwyafrif y cwmniau trafnidiol mai nid heb achos y buont yn cwyno hefyd. Ond os raai digalon fu'r flwyddyn i fasnachwyr, nid dyna'r hanes yn mhob amgylchiad, ac y mae adroddiad blynyddol y Cwmni Yswiriol uchod, a gyhoeddir genym yr wythnos hon, yn dangos gwedd lewyrchus iawn, ac yn awgrymu fod gofal a darbodaeth yn elfenau cynnyddol yn ein bywyd dyddiol. Mae'r ffigyrau a gyhoeddir yn aruthrol, ac mae meddwl fod un cwmni wedi cynyddu mewn gwerth dros bedair miliwn o bunnau mewn un flwyddyn yn brawf fod y wlad wedi rhoddi ymddiriedaeth llwyr yn ei holl adranau. Fel y dywedai'r cadeirydd yn nghyfarfod Wynyddol y Cwmni ddechreu y mis hwn, y mae yn agos i un rhan o dair o boblogaeth y deyrnas yn rnanteisio mewn rhyw ffordd neu gilydd ar gynlluniau y Cwmni, ac mae'r gwahanol adranau, darbodol ac yswiriol, yn cynnyg manteision arbenig i bob dosbarth o bobl, a hynny ar delerau sy'n cyfarfod a phob gradd yn eingwiad. 1'r rhai hynny o'n cydwladwyr sydd etto heb otalu am yswirio, anogwn hwynt i anfon at y Goruwchwyliwr, Mr. G. H. Heap, 1, Argyle Square, W.C., yr hwn a rydd bob cyfarwyddyd ^gtyn a'r gwaith a wneir ganddynt yn y Brif- ddinas.

I Colofn y Gan. EISTEDDFOD EGLWYS SANT PADARN. Y mae'n ofidus genym oherwydd ddarfod i ni yn ein rhifyn diweddaf wneyd camgymeriad ynglyn a dyddiad yr Eisteddfod uchod. Nos Iau nesaf (Mawrth 23am) ei cynhelir, yn Myddelton Hall, Upper Street, Islington. Hyderwn yr aiff llu o'n cydwladwyr yno er gwneyd yr Eisteddfod yn llwyddiant ymhob ystyr. Y mae ymdrechion a wneir gan v cyfeillion ynglyn ag Eglwys St. Padarn yn haeddu ein cefnogaeth. CYNGHERDD.—Ar yr un noson (sef nos Iau) fe gynhelir cyngherdd mewn cysylltiad ag Ysgol Sul (Gymreig) Camden Town, yn y Public Hall, Prince of Wales Road Baths. Y mae nifer o gantorion rhagorol i gymeryd rhan, megis Madame Eleanor Jones, Madame Juanita Jones, Mr. Thomas Thomas, Mr. Ivor Foster, Mr. Eli Hudson. FEL y gwelir yn ein colofnau hysbysiadol y mae amryw o gyfarfodydd a chyngherddau cystadleuol gerllaw, yn y lleoedd canlynol Battersea Town Hall, Sibley Grove (East Ham), Clapham Junction, &c. Cawn fanylu ar y cyrddau hyn maes o law. BUDD GYNGHERDD.—Yr ydym yn deall y bydd y cyngherdd a gynhelir yn yr Holborn Town Hall ar y 18fed o'r mis nesaf, er budd gweddw a phlant y diweddar Mr. Robert Griffith, yn un uwchraddol. Y mae'n ymddangos fod y cantorion goreu i gymeryd rhan ynddo. Hysbysir ni hefyd y bydd yno gor enwog. Hyderwn y gwna'r Cymry brynu tocynau i'r cyngherdd hwn gyda'r un parodrwydd a phe bae gyngherdd ynglyn a'n Heglwysi Cymreig. Y mae rhai pobl yn barod iawn i brynu tocynau ynglyn a'u capelau hwy eu hunain, ond yn amharod iawn i brynu unrhyw docyn yn dwyn cysylltiad a dim oddiallan i'w cylch. Mewn achos fel yr un presenol bydded i ni roddi ein dwylaw yn ein llogellau.

LONDON WOMEN'S TEMPERANCE UNION. Recently the General Committee of the above Union decided to take advantage of the wave of revivalism which has spread so effectually over London, by inviting Miss Pritchard, Birmingham, up to re-organize our Society. Miss Pritchard, who is well known to all Welsh people as the Secretary of the North Wales Temperance Union, accepted the invitation with her usual zeal, and devoted two weeks of her valuable time together with Miss Katie Roberts (Secretary of the Society) to real hard work. frequently holding two meetings in one day. Miss Pritchard held in all fourteen meetings, starting new branches in most of the churches, whilst re-organizing old ones in others. Very enthusiastic meetings were held, and Miss Pritchard's earnest appeals have been the means of strengthening the temperance cause consider- ably there are, however, a few churches left that Miss Pritchard had not time to visit, these are being worked up by the .most prominent members of the Society. The General Committee consists of Mrs. D. Lloyd-George, President; Miss Katie Roberts, Honorary Secretary Mrs. Timothy Davies, Treasurer. The General Committee is also attended by representatives of each branch, that is, President, Secretary, and Treasurer. Thus we are able to promote the temperance cause in all our Welsh Churches, and to show the young women coming up from Wales that they are not alone in the Metropolis, that they have a home and interested friends welcoming them. The meetings in the various churches are open to all, but the members must be total abstainers, and can purchase the pretty white enamelled badges from any of the Secretaries.

THE GREAT WHEAT CENTRE OF CANADA. In the course of his examination before the Select Standing Parliamentary Committee on Agriculture and Colonisation at Ottawa, Professor W. Saunders, Director of the Dominion Experi- mental Farms, stated that the total area ot wheat in Manitoba in 1903 was 2,442,873 acres, which returned a crop of 40,116,876 bushels, an average of 16 bushels 42 pounds per acre. The latest returns from the North-West Territories give an acreage of 837,234, and a total crop of 16,029,149 bushels, which is equal to 19 bushels per acre. This gives a total for the Canadian North-West of 56,146,027 bushels, which, added to the Ontario crop of 22,584,443, makes 78,730,470 bushels. Adding the smaller production of the other Provinces, it will probably be safe, said Professor Saunders, to place the total wheat crop in Canada at over 80,000,000 bushels, all grown on about 5,000,000 acres. The wheat crop of the United States for 1903 was 637,824,835 bushels, all grown on a litttle less than 50,000,000, acres of land. Taking the average of a ten years' record, the wheat crop of the United States for the past ten years, including the winter and spring wheats, has averaged 13*53 bushels per acre. The winter wheat in Ontario for the past ten years has averaged 21 "5 2 bushels, and spring wheat 16 "64 bushels. In Manitoba the average for the same period has been a little over 20 bushels per acre. The average yield per acre of wheat in Minnesota for the past ten years has been 14*33 bushels; in South Dakota, 10*67 bushels and in North Dakota, 12*87 bushels. The distribution of grain (from the Experi- mental Farms) among the farmers, Professor Saunders said, was still going on, for the improve- ment of seed. Samples of wheat and barley were being sent out this year weighing five pounds each, a sufficient quantity in each case to sow a plot of one-twentieth of an acre. The output for the season was about 20,000 packages, and there were nearly 10,000 more promised. The quality of grain distributed in this way, up to the date of Professor Saunders giving evidence, was about 45 tons, and about half as much more material will be needed to complete the work. Professor Saunders informed the Committee that during the previous year he had driven through the North-West, when he had an oppor- tunity of going over a very large area of the lands of which he had been speaking as capable of producing wheat. He visited the districts between Regina and Indian Head, and between Edmonton and Calgary. He also drove from Saskatoon to Battleford, where he saw a very fine country, into which settlement was pouring very rapidly. Most of the land he saw was very good, and the settlers visited seemed to be much pleased with their prospects^ He never saw such a continuous area of good land as he did in driving the 200 miles from Saskatoon to Battle- ford, going up on the north side of the liver, and returning on the south side. He referred to the Saskatchewan River. If the land he saw could be taken as an indication of the Saskatchewan country generally, he felt sure it would make a very excellent country for mixed farming. He saw fine fields of wheat at different points. He had gone over nearly 8,000 miles by rail, and 500 miles by vehicle, so that he had an oppor- tunity of seeing a good deal of the'country. The more he saw of it the more sanguine he felt that it would soon become one of the most I prosperous and importan divisions of the Dominion.
