Welsh Reforms.

It seems a pitiful thing that all the poetical writers of Wales should spend year after year, all writing on the same theme to win eisteddfodic distinction, instead of writing spontaneously on the variety of subjects that would commend themselves to each individual poet. The present system is a cruel perversion, distortion, and limitation of the poetical genius of Wales. It tends to hardness, dryness, and flatness, and puts a grievous check on the flight of poetical fancy. Comparing Welsh poetry with English poetry of the time, I am bound to confess, in spite of my patriotism, that the Welsh level is much below English attainment; and I am convinced that it is for this very reason that the English poet is free to sing as his heart and mind bid him, whereas the Welsh poet is restricted by the Eisteddfod programme. This is a Welsh reform for which I long almost more than for any other—because it means freedom, it means spontaneity, and it means above all the note of originality and distinction. Appeal for Action. What is to come of the suggestions offered in these three articles? Among my readers are some of the poets, preachers, politicians of Cymru Fydd-the patriots who are to lead the people in the future. We are not a Parliament, nor that more ancient institution, a Gorsedd. We cannot enact these proposals into law. We must do what we can. We must think about them we must discuss them m our societies. Some of you will be able to remember them in your sermons-because sermons tend more and more to concern themselves with the betterment of this life and world-or in your writings. If you think there is any merit in these pro- posed reforms, do not let them fall still-born. Take them and nourish them into life and vigour. I have undertaken to write about them because I felt it a little service owed to my native land thus to stir the waters, in case perchance some good may result. Do not let anyone per- suade himself that he is too insignificant to render any service to his country. I have a firm belief that there is no reader of these lines who, in some measure, is not capable of doing something for the good of Wales. Golden Age Before Us. A vast field lies before the Welsh patriot. We are too fond of harking back in our appeals to the Wales of former years as if the Golden Age of Wales lay in the past. My own conviction is, that owing to historical circumstances, the Welsh race has never yet had an opportunity of showing what it can do for the culture of the world. It lay under political oppression, deprivation of knowledge, and religious darkness for many long centuries. Wales is only just beginning to awaken to the use of her faculties in their full freedom and power. Political liberty has arrived, educational facilities have been obtained, religious enlighten- ment has dawned. The Welsh race has hitherto been a race of un- developed powers. I am filled with great hopes for the future contribution of Wales to the intellectual and moral wealth of the world. Already we see signs in every sphere of life of this nascent Welsh power. Not in the past, but in the future, I see her great achievements. Let every one of us perform a patriot's task in giving his utmost share to fulfil the mission of Wales. Let us cultivate virtue, without which there can be no power; let us gather knowledge, which is the foundation of progress; let us exercise reflection and devotion, perfecting our own powers, and using them for uplifting the Welsh nation and the Welsh language among the peoples of the earth. This can best be attained by each doing his duty to the full extent of his capacity. Then we shall do honour to our small but precious country, in the spirit of Islwyn's lines Os bechan ydwyt, Gymru wiw, Os cyfyng yw dy Ie, Cydgasglwyd ar dy lannerch ber. Bob ceinder is y ne' Ein rhandir yn eangach fu, Ond digon dy amrywiaeth di.
