CHBOHTC RHEUMATISM CURED CHAS. POBDE'S BILE BEANS END 201 YEARS' SUFFERING. In an interview with a looai lfie* preventative, Mrs. Harriet G. Marshall, of 15, Queens-ioad Swindon, Wilts., toid Itow Chas. Forde's Bile Beans ended 20 years' suffering from rhonmatism. "From childhood up to three years ago I suffered from rheumatism," she said. "It affected my arms and aaddes, particu- larly the arms, and I often had to remain at home for five or six weeks at a time from the laundry where I worked before I was married. At times I wus unable to move a finger or even to dress myself, and mv hands were all drawn up. About four years ago a doctor attended me for three months, and I tried many remedies also, but did not get a bit better. "My mother then told me of the re- markable ease of a young woman who had been treated unsuccessfully in hospital und had been given up by doctors andfwho had been completely cured by Chas- Forde's Bile Beans. and before long I saw that they were going to cure me. The pain was less severe, my limbs lost their stiffness, and with a continuance of Chas. Foide's wonderful medicine I was finally quite cured. My hands straight- ened out again quite naturally and I could get about anywhere." Mrs. Marshall, writing to-day, says: "Since Chas. Forde's Bile Beans cured me I have not had the slightest return of the rheumatism. Thanks to that grand medI- cine I have remained in the best of health. Don't imperil your health by experiment- ing with little Known and inferior m€^C" <ines. Banish your pain now, once and for all by taking Chas. Forde's Bide Beans, "the kind you have always bought, and the kind that alone cured Mrs. Marshall.

¡ CROSS-CHANNEL ATTEMPT. RIVAL SWANSEA AND LLANELLY SWIMMERS. An art drawing to secure funds to enable Jack Rees, Llanellv. to attempt the' Engii.-ii Channel swim is being arranged by a strong committee, of which Mr. Alport George, 43, Andrew-street, Llanellv, is the hon. sec. The Liar:elly committee look upon this as a na- tional swim, and consider it unfair that a few Swansea men should now advocate the claims of Ted James. The committee con- sider that the best ma.n should be selected I for the swim, and the friends of Rees are prepared- to arrange for a swim between him and J antes, the loser to pay £20 to the win- ner towards his expenses of the Channel swiiu. The Llanellv secretary would be pleased to receive an early reply from James or any other man in Wales. I

ROYAL CLEMENCY, MOVING SCENES AT LISBON. MUTINOUS SAILORS' PARDON. Lisbon, Sunday.-Three lawyers who sesntr a petition signed by thousands for the amnesty of the mutinous sailors went yes- terday to the palace accompanied by over 500 women and children of the sailors families, • to thank King Manuel for his re- cent decree of clemency. Seeing the Premier in the ante-room, the women, weeping with gratitude, KHS t round and kissed his hands, while some even kissed his epaulettes. Admiral Fer- reira do Amaral was greatly moved, exclaim- ing to the women, "Don't dont. The pardon of your men is simply the result o the King's wishes." Afterwards the women were ushered into the King's presence, and the lawyers read an address, to which his Majesty replied that it wa.s a joy to him to have begun hi.. reign with an act of clemency. Then came a most dramatic scene. The wxjnien knelt, and kissed the King's hands, sobbing in wild bursts of emotion. The King was unable to restrain his own feel- ings. He attempted to calm the woman, and seeing one of the- convulsively weep- ing and holding a child to her breast, he called to her, and taking the child from her arm, kissed it tenderly on both cheeks. The sobbing women descended the stair- case, and told what had happened to the hundreds waiting outside, Shrill and ring- ing "Vivas" were raised, and wild en- thusiasm was shown. The wife of a sailor condemned to twenty years' service in Africa, in speaking to me of the interview with the King, said: 'He was very sorry for us. Poor hoy, I saw the tears in his eyes when he saw that we were weepmg. ("Daily Mail.)

Mr Samuel Stephens, in seconding, aid the Association was gratified at having for their local president a gentleman of the im- portance of Lord Glantawe. Not only would his influence be felt her, but in London and elsewhere, and he would be able to bring them more prominently before the public. It was one of the great features of IlOrd Glantawe's life, that he gave a large portion of his time to the advance- ment of associations such as th»s. I-ord Glantawe returned thanks, and re- ferred to the fact that the Association was a "ery powerful one and that the Dti}^ Portland and Lord Jersey were the last two presidents. He expressed the hope that a dinner or smoking' concert- similar to those held in London. would take place at SWan- sea later on. He was certain that the WTT1.e would prove a means of increasing g-ub- j scriptions and funds of the Association.

KAISER'S TUTOR. "DESTROYED" MEMOIRS DOMI- CILIARY SEARCH. After the death of Dr. Georg Hinzpeter, much curiosity was expressed as to the fate of the diaries which were known to have been kept by him during both the period of his tutorship to the German Em- peror and his subsequent intimate friend- ship with his Majesty. Speculation ou the subject was eventu- ally set at rest by the publication of a letter in which he had informed a friend that he had destroyed all these memoirs, which would have been so precious a store of material for the historian. A paper at Metz, however, now reports that the judicial authorities of that dis- trict have just earned out a domiciliary search at the home of a former man-servant of Dr. Hinzpeter, and that it is understood of Dr. Hinzpeter, and that it is understood that the object of the hunt was a portion of the memoirs of the Imperial tutor, which is believed to have been stolen. Nothing is known of the results of the search.

SLASHING ATTACK ON REVIVAL- ISM. EX-NEATH MINISTER'S STRONG OUTBURST. SENTIMENTALITY OF THE WORST TYPE. A remarkable attack on revivatism has j been made by the Rev- Rhondda Williams, CoTigregation'aiiist minister, formerly of MeT- thyir ajid Neath, at Bradford. M r. Williams has created' a local sensation by refusing to join a simultaneous mission for uplifting mora.Is in Bradford, and denouncing aal re- vivais and missions. Itit-c-yiew.-vl with regard to the Welsh re- viva, Mr. Willia<ms said that it was senti ment feeding on sentiment, until it became SCT;tiinentality of the worst type. He knew the conditions in Wales intimately, and mukl spiesok with greater freedom than the ministers there. Even "those who openly ad- vooated tlie revival as God s work while it was on now acknowledged it to be delusive, I and the churches had suffered f>ev«re!v, not- v~ithstandiibg many cases of indiviclirai good. They silxnild inquire what history arid psy- otioloig'y had to say. What took place in revivals? The more sd-vanced community grew in general culture the wider and completer its life, the less chance, lie added, there was for a revival of the old type, the let- possibility of creating enthusiasm in a temporary mission. The con^nial soil of such a mission is a com- munity where the general level of knowledge is low, and the range of life narrow. A very strikin g thing is thait, the wickedness of a community is no great hindrance. Revivals have succeeded, as they count success, where I there has been great wickedness, but not I when1 there has been great culture. When we had revivals now tlie people who were converted were not the cultivated people who had learned to act upon rational reflection, but those with little knowledge and of im- pulsive terraperannent It frequently happen- ed that some people were converted in one revival after another. Nearly all profes- sional revrv-aiis-ts denounced intellect and learning." "What remedy do you suggest for the excess of sentimentality in Welsh religious life?" asdted a pressman of Mr. Williams. "Well, in revivak people are told that reason is ungodly, and feeling only Divine. I reooaninciKi for Wales not opposition mio- sion-s, but regular teachin.-g and discipiine ol life, the opening of the mind in the wider truths of day life, the more insistent j application of the principles of Ohrnstuanity to questions of social life. In this I stand imTOserrvedly for the new tilieology." Do you think it acceptable to Whales to- da-v ^10S.' I thdni: a moft hopeful sign of the firture in South Wales to-day is tlie way in which the netw theology* and Socialism are Vakxn>g rcot. °'

I KILVEY CHURCH BAZAAR. INAUGURATED BY MRS. A. TL WILLIAMS, BRITON FERRY. I Tne annual bazaar in connection with All Saints', Kilvey, Swansea, was opened on Ibursday afternoon by Mrs. Arthur T. Wil- liams, Banian IIouM, Briton Ferry, in the KiJjvey Parish Hall, Swansea The object is to pay off the debt for irenovating the Parish Hail, which is proving such a blessing to, the neighbourhood, and to maintain the ex- I cetient. work of the Sunday School. Excep- tional energy has been expended for the cause by the worthy vicar, the Rev. T. T. Matthias, and his wife, and their enthusiastic band of stall-holders and workers. Eveiry- one's taste bad been exhaustively considered., and the fancifully decorated Jdttie stalls were all replete with dainty and useful air- ticles. Weighing machine, electric battery, and air-gun shooting afiorded welcome ainuee- DJent, and all arrangements for this yoa-r's effort were carried out on the most excellent- lines, largely through the hen. secretary. Air. Fred Evans. The stall holders were :— Parish Church. No. 1, Mrs. Matthias, Mrs. Critchley, Miss Hardee, Miss Walters, Mrs. W. J. Hov.dL, Mies M.

Quite a number of friends and visitors were assembled at the opening, including several patrons from Swansea. Tho Vicar, subsequent to the offering of prayer, welcomed Mrs. Arthur Williams in the most sincere manner to Kilvey. They felt in their parish that the bazaar must be an annual one. Tlie work they were doing with God's help could not be carried out without money, and the jtarish is a very poor or.e. However, this year's efforts had been as cuooessfnl r.s those of past years; all had worked energetically, loyally. and whole- heartedly. Speaking- briefly of the twofold, object., with regard to the rcnovr.tion of the Parish Hall J3200 had beer, expended, of which £60 debt still remained. The second part of their object—tlie desire to devote a certain amount towards tho Sunday Schools. The latter he was very proud to say was in a most flourishing cor.ditio-n. and at no time was there more need or our Sun- day Schools than at the present, when so little religious instruction is lieing taught in the day schools. In that parish of 3,071 in- habitants 600 were members of the Sunday Sr-h<x>ls, or one out of evciy six of the whole of the parish. In conclusion the Vicax had great pleasure in asking Mrs. Williams, to open the bazaar. I MRS. A. T.
