Nodiadau Golygyddol. RHWNG Y DDAU DDRWS. Unwaith eto yr ydym yn gweled drws hen flwyddyn yn cael ei gau, a drws blwyddyn newydd yn cael ei agor. Bob tro y ceuir drws, lleiheir rhif y rhai sydd eto'n ol i ni i'w hagor ar y ddaear. Mor ddystaw y caua un ar ol y llall !—mor ddystaw, ac mor ddi-ildio Ac wrth gau, gofynnant beth adawsom o'r tu ol iddynt. A pha beth a atebwn am 1905 ? Y mae yn sicr yr erys yng nghof miloedd o feibion a merched Cymru fel blwyddyn ryfeddaf eu hoes. Yr oeddem wedi myned i feddwl a datgan na cheid mo'r hen ddiwygiadau mwy, ac nad oedd wiw i ni ddisgwyl am eu cael. Ond, Fe] y mynn y daw, Fel yr enfys a'r gwlaw. Daeth, heb i ni ddeall yn iawn pa fodd; ac a heibio, heb i ni ddeall hynny chwaith. Flwyddyn y Diwygiad !—erys ei hanes a'i henw, ym) sg yr holl flynyddoedd a fu ac a ddaw, yn hanes mawr ac yn enw disglair. Newidiodd yrfa cenedl. Nid yw wedi gwneud pobpeth nid yw heb adael ar ei hoi gwestiynau, pryderon, siomedig- aethau. Ond gwyddai pob un sydd wedi gwneud ei drigfa yn ysgol yr Iesu fod y pethau hyn yn rhan o brofedigaethau Ei deyrnas Ef. Ni hauwyd eto gymaint ag un grawn o wenith gwyn y nef, na fwriodd y gelyn ddyn ei efrau yno rywbryd. Braint fawr yw gallu cadw meddwl cymhesur, rhag meddwl fod yr haul wedi diffodd am fod awel groes wedi codi llwch i'n llygaid. Ac yn awr, ar agoriad drws y flwyddyn newydd, beth a welwn ? Y gore allasai fod— gwaith ac ymdrech ar ol gweddi, ac emyn. Gelwir ar Gymru gyfan i ddadleu dros ei hawliau cenhedlaethol. Ac ni ddylai'r Cymry oddi- cartref anghofio achos eu gwlad, na'i fradychu. Ysywaeth, y mae llawer Cymro, ar ol crynhoi aur neu ennill ychydig o swydd, yn myned yn rhy benysgafn i sefyll yn ddewr ac yn onest dros yr egwyddorion wnaeth aelwyd iddo. Y mae llawer o'r rhai hyn ar hyd a lied Lloegr, yn rhy ddiwerth i bobpeth da i ysgrifenu eu henwau ar bapyr llwyd. Ond y mae argoel gwella hyd yn oed yn hyn a dichon a daw adeg pan fydd Cymro yn llwyddo, heb golli ei grefydd, na'i iaith, na'i genedlgarwch. Beth wna Cymry Llundain yn yr ymdrech fydd yn cynhyrfu ac yn terfysgu mis lonawr ? Beth wnant dros achos Cymru ?—dros addysg rydd, dros fasnach rydd, dros gydwybod rydd ? Y mae ein dyledswydd fel dinaswyr yn rhan o'n braint fel crefyddwyr. Dyna sydd o'n blaen, a'r drothwy'r drws. Beth arall sydd, yn y flwyddyn 1906, nis gwyddom. Ond nis gall dim ddod, na fydd yn well bod yn weithiwr da na segurwr, yn well bod o ddifrif na bod yn ddifraw, na fydd yn well byw'n dduwiol na byw'n annuwiol. ELFED.

Adroddid stori ddoniol am yr hen Ddafydd Cydwalad flynyddoedd yn ol. Un tro pregethai yn y Wyddgrug ar ei ffordd i Ruthyn at y Sul. Er gwaethaf pawb cychwynodd ar ei daith yn v nos, a phan yr oedd yn croesi yr "Hen Fwlch," cododd dyn o'r rhedyn ar ochr y ffordd, a rhuthrodd arno gan ei lindagu a bloeddio Deliver." Wei aros," ebai yntau, does gen i ddim i ddilifro." Oes," llefai'r lleidr, "ac os na ddilifrwch nhw'n ddistaw mi'ch lladda i chi." Does gen i ddim dowt am hyny," ebe'r hen bregethwr bodlon, "achos y mae yna ddau o honoch chi." "Dau," ebe'r dyn mewn braw, gan droi i edrych drach ei gefn, pryd y tarawodd yr hen Ddafydd ef yn llepan ei ben nes y rholiodd i I lawr llechwedd y mynydd.

Notes of the Week. A Merry Christmas.—In spite of unemploy- ment and the wailings of those who will have it that our trade is "going," London managed to enjoy itself during the holidays in good spirits. Trade cannot be in a very depressed state, or else the shops would not have been as full as they were last week; money cannot be very scarce, for we are told that a larger number of people went out of town than on any Christmas within living memory. And even the approach- ing General Election did not damp the ardour of those upon pleasure bent. We should not be at all surprised if the recent change of Govern- ment added to the joy of the festival of all parties. We have not heard, anyhow, of any one who found plum pudding and mince pies less palatable because the Liberals are in office. Just on the eve of the festival consols went up a point or two, and the heart of the city was made glad. In most districts business estab- lishments were kept closed from Saturday even- ing to Thursday morning, so that the tired assistants had a good long holiday. And the poor and needy were not forgotten either. The only element of sadness arose from the failure of several slate clubs to meet the expectations of their members owing to dishonest officials. We are afraid that not a few worthy citizens went without their Christmas dinner on that account. Such thieving is most despicable, and deserving of the severest judgment. I The First Act.—The Liberal Government has not given the grass time to grow under its feet before beginning to act. Until Parliament meets nothing can be done in the way of fresh legislation, but administrative work is different. A great deal can be done in that branch with- out waiting for House of Commons' decisions. It was both natural and just that the first act of the new authority should be a step towards the abolition of serfdom in South Africa. Lord Elgin's despatch caused the heart of every lover of freedom to rejoice. Until the question has been submitted to the people of South Africa, no more Chinese are to be imported into that country. This is as it should be. The Colonists themselves, are those who ought to decide whether foreigners are to be employed in their country or not, and until they have had an opportunity to vote upon the question under conditions that will secure, to all concerned, perf ct freedom of opinion, a Liberal Govern- ment could not do other than it has done. The gold magnates are up in arms, of course, and their organs in the Press threaten all kinds of calamities. The shrieks of some of the London papers are as pitiful as they are absurd. But they disturb no one. The gold magnates with foreign names and of foreign tongues have been found out long ago, and inspired paragraphs, though they appear in the leading articles of the Times and the Daily Telegraph, do not affect the money market except in the reverse direction. The Watt TriaJ.- The end of the trial of Hugh Watt, ex-M.P. for one of the divisions of Glasgow, is one more example of the truth of the well-known proverb that the way of transgressors is hard." After a hearing lasting over many days he was found guilty of instigat- ing three men to murder his wife, and was sentenced to five years' penal servitude. It is almost inconceivable that a man of his educa- tion and social status should descend so low as to conspire with the lowest of criminals, and the most that charity of thought can urge in his favour is that he must have been mad. But. the whole story is a terrible lesson to those who disregard the sanctity of moral obligations. This man left the straight path years ago, destroyed the happiness of a friend's home, and flouted all considerations that an upright man regards sacred. And once on the downward grade, he rushed headlong into crimes that have brought him into a felon's cell. Though
