The Aberdare Leader

General Booth at Aberdare. His visit to the King. General Booth arrived at Aberdare on Saturday afternoon, accompanied by Com- missioner Nicol, Colonels Lawley and Eadie and other officers of the Salvation Army. The founder of the Salvation Army was given a very hearty reception on his arrival at the Aberdare T.V.R. station, the band striking up the tune Huddersfield." The General then briefly addressed the throng. He wanted, he said, to bring all the people to salvation. He had been for nearly 60 years trying to save souls-a glorious work. 0 He was then conveyed to Danygraig, where he was the guest of Mr and Mrs J. H. Powell. At 5 o'clock. General Booth presided over a revival meeting at Siloa. Amongst the ministers present were Revs D. Silyn Evans, Siloa, and Thos. Jones, Carmel. The hymns, Pour thy Spirit," Blessed Jesus," and Draw me nearer," were sung with much fervour. After brief prayers by persons in the congregation, General Booth delivered an address. He referred to his visit to Buckingham Palace and to the jolly talk he had had with the King. People thought that he would have to kneel and bow and kiss the King's hand, &c., but nothing of the sort took place. He had related to King Edward what the Salvation Army had done and were doing—how they were saving poor sinners from the power of sin. The King then told him how deeply interested he was in the class for which the Salvation Army worked, and how delighted he was to hear of the good work the Salvation Army were doing. Proceeding, the General spoke on Righteousness and getting right with God. He had come to Aberdare, he said, not for any earthly gain, not even to make Salva- tionists—although he thought they could not do much better-but to get men and women to Jesus. He emphasised the need of getting right with God-of being saved from sin. To believe was not enough. The Devil believed, but still remained a Devil. The drunkards and gamblers believed, but were sinners still. A Welsh prayer was then given by a per- son in the gallery, and Gad im deimlo was sung. The meeting then terminated. At 8 o'clock another meeting was held at Siloa. The spacious edifice was packed. The General addressed the meeting and several of the officers sang and prayed. Then the meeting took a form similar to that of the revival meetings now held. Prayers in Welsh and English were offered, and familiar hymns and sacred songs were sung. The soldiers and lasses were busily engaged in seeking penitent sinners among the large congregation, and exhortations were given by several men and women in the congregation. SUNDAY MEETINGS. On Sunday three meetings were held at the spacious Market Hall. The morning meeting was well attended and very fervid. In the afternoon every inch of space bad been occupied. After prayers had been offered and some sacred songs had been sung by the large congregation the General addressed the meeting. He took as his text the words, What shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul." The speaker said that he would first dwell on the fact that every man, woman and child had a soul. The theory of the existence of the soul was a universal conviction, He wished to thank God that he was immortal. He did not know how long he would be spared to work for God in this world, but he would like to live to do a great deal more for his Master. However when he would die they would not be able to say "We have finished General Booth." He would then be in the cavalry of heaven mounted on a white horse. He was a foot warrior down here. The speaker then dealt with his second observation, that it was possible for a man to save his soul, They could not get away from the idea of punish- ment in another world. The wages of sin was death. In the workhouses they had paupers who had lost their wealth, in asylums maniacs who had lost their reason, in prisons convicts who had lost their liberty, in the cemeteries men who had lost their lives, and in the sub-terranean caverns sinners who had lost their souls. Who was that lost soul in yon dark dungeon who was continually counting something ? It was Judas. He was counting the thirty pieces of silver for which he had sold his Saviour, his birthright and his soul. In another place there were souls from Aberdare in agony. While the General was thus depicting the horrors of the infernal regions A voice cried out Never." It emanated from some one in the centre of the hall whose views apparently did not coincide with the speaker's. There was a great sensation throughout the building, but the General immediately caught up the thread of his speech, and proceeded to say that the loss of the soul was a serious business. It was not a temporary hell, he said, but according to the teaching of the Bible an everlasting one. The preacher then went on exhorting his hearers not to sacrifice their souls for the world. It was a poor bargain for a man to keep his situa- tion and sacrifice his soul. When the General had finished his dis- course an earnest appeal was made to repentant sinners to approach the penitent form. There was however no response. In the evening the Market Hall was again crowded. The General gave a most stirring discourse on the words Be sure your sins will find you out and the huge gathering was visibly impressed by his earnest and pathetic appeal to sinners. Then the usual appeal to erring sinners to kneel at the penitent form was made. At first there was great reluctance, but ultimately about 40 came forward to seek salvation. The General bears his three score and fifteen years wonderfully well. His voice is not very powerful, but it is remarkably clear, and by the aid of a sounding board it penetrated to every corner of the hall. Notwithstanding the enormous congre- gations, all the meetings were the embodi- ment of order and good behaviour and the organisers of the Army are to be con- gratulated on their excellent arrangements. Meetings are held at the Salvation Army Barracks every night during the week. 0 0

LORD STANLEY ON EDUCATION. SIR,-I see that he believes that the working men's organisations throughout the country are quite prepared for a settlement on purely secular lines. The question now is entirely in the hands of the laity, and in ten years' time the local authorities will ask to be relieved of education. He also said that with regard to the ves- ted interest in Voluntary Schools fabulous and fictitious values were placed upon them. Many of them were only fit for the scrap heap. If a number of them were shut up, the community would be richer in health and intelligence. At least 25 of the Voluntary Schools in no way conformed with the building rules of the Board of Education, and 10% were un- fit for occupation. Definite religious instruction in the mass of mankind resulted in making them hate those who did not belong to their own special section, rather than giving them very clear ideas of what they believed. —Yours, A. B.

ABERDARE TRAMWAYS. SIR,—I was highly pleased to see a letter from A Large Ratepayer" in a recent issue, in referenee to the above, and I wish to supplement his timely remarks. Firstly, I should like to ask the rate- payers if they have thoroughly considered this project as to who will have to pay the piper; and secondly, the position of those who first started it, namely, our so-called Labour Representatives. In connection with this, it would be interesting to know how much they pay towards the rates at present. I observed, some time ago, when this subject was under discussion that Mr Stanton considered Mr Hann's opinion of more value than Mr Llewellyn's, the chair- man of that particular meeting. A Daniel come to judgment;" but let us test this opinion. Whereas Mr Llewelyn owns pro- perty in this district, and is consequently a large ratepayer. Mr Hann simply represents a body ot Ratepayers, his own speculations going elsewhere. The man who has great personal interests in the district would be the safer guide. The suggestion of your correspondent as regards the formation of a Ratepayers Association is a valuable one, and one that should be taken up heartily by those who have the true interests of the district at heart. If meetings of the ratepayers could be called, and these things practically explained, I am sure a great majority of them would object to such a wanton waste of money. I have been told by an official of the Council that ninety per cent. of the inhabitants were in favour. This may be so; but why should their votes outweigh those who have to pay ? Our Labour Representatives are very fond of crying down property owners for char- ging high rent. Is this the way to lower them ? The houseowners will be compelled to still rise them, if this insane project is to be proceeded with.- -I am, Sir. A SMALL RATEPAYER. SIR,-I crave a portion of your space to air my objection to the above, and to make (according to my view) important and feasible suggestions towards making what is now an unworkable scheme into a prac- ticable one. I find that there is now a first and second mortgage on our ratable value, so it is useless to expect the commissioner to grant us another Loan of any magnitude. My project, if adopted, will prove an equal boon as well as a more economical system. I refer to the rail-less system of electric traction, of which I have made a theore- tical study. The major part of the projected expen- diture is for rail-laying and its continuous incidental expenses; and if the rail-less system were adopted, this bulk would be abstracted from the amount it is suggested to borrow, and the project would have a better chance to pass the Commissioner. As a practical economist, I have a couple of facts which I hope will assist those who, with myself, have this project at heart, and wish to carry it out on the best and most economic lines. (1) By adopting the Rail-less System we shall not burden the District ratepayers with the maintenance of the County roads to which the bulk of the system is to be applied, viz., from Trecynon to Capcoch and iCwmaman. (2) The Rail-less system is more portable and less expensive. The objections to the Rail-less System are (a) That the rail system is safer, owing to the rail acting as a warning for other traffic to keep clear. But I consider the rail-less system safer, because the rattle of the wheels gives a louder warning. Besides, the rail-less vehicle will be able to deviate its course if unable to stop, whereas the rail tram must keep its course if its brake power will not enable it to stop. With respect to com- fort, the rail-less car will have good roads to travel on, and this, aided by the latest improvements in springing and rubber insulation, will secure comfort for the pas- sengers. But I must stop now and leave the question of working expenses and other technicalities to be dealt with in due course. I therefore beg to call upon those mem- bers of the District Council who represent working classes to support the rail-less system of electrical traction, owing to its equal effectiveness and safety and its greater economy.—Yours, MORGAN PARR. SIR,-Several letters have appeared in your columns, of late re the above matter. As some persons are easily led away by such letters, I beg space to make just one appeal to the common sense of your readers. The impression these correspondents desire to create is, that all those members of the District Council who support the Tramways and Destructor scheme are men whose sole ambition is to raise the rates to the very highest possible point; and, that the minority, who are inclined to oppose the scheme, are the benefactors of the people. Strange that the people should have sought out and elected about seventeen of these spendthrift rascals to represent them, when such honest and clever men as your correspondent of the week before last are always ready and willing to tender advice gratis to the electors. Very strange Can your readers imagine that the Coun- cil would recommend the adoption of such a scheme without having first calculated the probable income and expenditure, and a hundred other details which we, the out- side public have never thought of. Let your reader reflect for a moment. Is it not possible that the minority, inside the Council, and outside, have an axe to grind ? Electricity is a keen competitor of Gas, Now, if the Council were to decide to utilise the power they already possess, and set up an Electric Lighting Plant, it might interfere with the snug little investment which a few of our "Large Ratepayers" hold down at Aberaman. From Electric Trams to Electric Light is only a small step. Hence this feeble opposition. Again, when a Refuse Destructor is at work, there will be left about 35 per cent. of clinker which cannot be consumed. From this clinker, good bricks, flags, &c., can be manufactured and sold at less than two- thirds the price of ordinary bricks and flags, and still leave a very handsome profit for all the ratepayers. Hear what a great testing authority says as to the quality of this kind of brick:— After having been stacked for a week or a fortnight, depending on the weather, the bricks when knocked together begin to have a ring. In six weeks they attain such strength as to require a pressure equal to 216 tons per square foot before they are crushed, and at 14 weeks old they crush at 282 tons per square foot." Now, how many of our townsmen are interested in Gas and Bricks ? And who are they ? When your readers have asked themselves these questions, it will dawn upon them that perhaps Large -Ratepayer has more reasons than one for writing nonsense. I am told that there will be a public meeting convened by the District Council to discuss this matter. Perhaps Large Ratepayer will save his advice, his facts and figures until then They will surely take more eftect there than in the Press. Yours faithfully, PROGRESS.

MerthYfI Board of Guardians The above was held on Saturday, There were present Mr J. Rogers (chairman) Revs J. O'Reilly and Rev J. Hathren Davies (vice-chairmen). Mrs Williams, Mrs Richards, and Mrs Evans, Messrs John Price, F. Arscott, D. Evans (Merthyr), H. Jones, D. Davies, A. W: Houlson, T. E. Morgan, T. Williams, John Jones, J. Jenkins, H. Bosher, W. Hiley, John Morgan, J. Edwards, J. Aurelius, D. Hopkins, D. Hughes, S. Hawkins, D. Evans (Hirwain), R. Rees, T. Weale, Revs, W. C. Thomas, W. A. Jones and Ll. Williams, Messrs F. T. James (clerk), and E. J. Hughes (assistant clerk). OUT-RELIEF.—A cheque for zC325 was drawn. A CREDIr TO THE GUARDIANS The committee that had visited Campsie House reported that it was a credit to the Guardians. GUARDIANS VISITING HOMES. Mr T. E. Morgan reported having visited the home of a person who had applied for the custody of a child who is at the Training School, He could not recommend the home. The chairman expressed his ap- proval of the Guardians visiting the homes of the people. THE UNEMPLOYED. The chairman remarked that the question of the unemployed was becoming serious. There were 7 cases before them that duy. The chairman, vice-chairmen, the clerk and Mr D. Evans, Merthyr, will shortly at- tend a conference at Bridgend with the view of forming a farm colony. z, TREAT THEM ALL ALIKE. The Rev. J. O'Reilly remarked that inas- much as coal relief was given to paupers at the Union it was but fair that their paupers in other unions should be granted the same privilege. He knew of a case in Tregaron where one pauper had to pay Xi 10s for a ton of coal It was agreed that the coal relief be granted to them. DESERTED HIS FAMILY AND HIS REGIMENT. John Davies, from Bargoed, left his wife and family in the lurch and enlisted in the army as a single man. He afterwards de- serted the army and was arrested. He wanted the Guardians to be lenient towards him. He was now undergoing punishment but as soon as he would be released, and got employment, he would pay up the ar- rears of his wife's maintenance at the Union. It was decided to leave his case to the magistrates. VARIOUS, The Training School Committee recom- mended that J. W. Hurt should obtain the boy, Chas. Gale, for a month's trial.—Per- mission was given to Mr John Morgan to entertain the children at the workhouse.

Aberdare County School. Prize Day. Last Friday was the annual Prize Day of the above school. The function was held at the New Public Hall, the chair being occu- pied by Mr D. P. Davies, chairman of the Local Governing Body. There were also present the following Governors :—Mrs W. Lloyd, Rev T. Jones, Messrs G. George, G. A. Evans, Alderman W. Jones, D. Hughes, with Messrs W, Jenkyn Thomas, M.A., headmaster, and J. D. Thomas, clerk. The Chairman said that he had prophesied last year that the junior section would make a mark this year, and so they had. The top forms would take care of themselves and they should look after the lower forms. The school was now very full—315 children —and he was pleased to find that it was appreciated. Out of 274 pupils 53 had gained distinction-a record which would be a credit to any school (cheers). However, they should not expect too much from the school. The home had its part to play in the building of character. He was glad to note that there were reunions of old pupils of the schools. He did not know of one who had not reflected credit on the school in whatever sphere he or she was (applause). Mr W. Jenkyn Thomas, headmaster, who received quite an ovation, said that an agreeable feature of the school now was the fact that so many pupils were keeping on there. He then dealt with the changes which had taken place in the staff. Messrs Dodgson and E. Williams had left during the year and he wished to pay a tribute to the work done by them. While gratified at seeing the present state of intermediate edu- cation in Wales, he thought that they should not rest on their oars. The schools should be financed better by the authorities. Besides, there should be greater sacrifice on the part of the parents in encouraging the children to stay at the schools if they wanted to make them a thorough success. The Chairman then called upon Col. D. R. Lewis, Merthyr, to distribute the cer- tificates and prizes to the following pupils Honour Certificates :-Lillian L. John, May John, Gaynor R. Jones, Jonathan Jones, Aenid Picton, D. E. Price, T. J. Williams. Senior Certiacates :— Hetty Davies, Blodwen Edwards, Morley Griffiths, L. Jacobs, J. D. Jones, Lizzie Jones, W. J. Jones, W S.

Millar; Woodwork, Henry Thomas Welsh, Lizzie Peters Domestic Economy, Mabel Giles; Music, Nellie Sinnett Jones. Colonel Lewis, who was warmly received, said that no one believed more in the very highest education than he did. He wished to congratulate most warmly the pupils, the governors, the headmaster, the staff, and the scholars who had added lustre to the County School in the past. They had not won the gold medal this year, but the young lady who had gained distinction in every subject (Miss C. Havard) had won almost an equivalent. He would give every year henceforth a prize to every pupil who would distinguish himself or herself in that manner, and this young lady would have a prize this year (applause). The speaker then referred to Japan as a nation where education was given 1 0 its proper place, The boys of this country who were going to mould the destiny of the nation, should, when they grew up, insist on giving to intermediate education the attention it deserved. The difference be- tween elementary and secondary education was that in the latter a better facility was given to the pupils to exercise their brains. Referring to the question of a playground he believed that the playground was as necessary as the school itself. The County Council should supply playgrounds as well as buildings. They should agitate to get the County Councils to be more liberal in their contributions to the schools. Address- ing the children the speaker said he would like to see the boys and the girls wearing their colours and be proud of them (cheers). When they were going to sit for examina- tions let them be determined, for their own honour and that of the school, to pass. They ought to get into touch with the elementary schools-they should be practi- cally one. He was glad to see that the County Council insisted on parents sending the children to school for three years in order to win scholarships. He wished to congratulate Aberdare upon the success which it so richly deserved (applause). In proposing a vote of thanks to Col Lewis, Mr Griffith George, J.P., C.C., said I am not sure under what political flag Col. Lewis sails, and indeed I do not care, for I have learnt by this that politics have very little to do with a sincere educationist. I emphasise sincere," because any one worthy of that label can only be a progressivist. It is only when people try to make education a lever for party gain, or sectarian privilege, that political shades are developed. Thank heaven we have no room for either in our Intermediate scheme. No political or religious test is possible, and yet, under the apparent autocratic powers given to our headmasters and mistresses, the result of the last nine years working defies anyone to say that the education imparted has been an irreligious one. No doubt we are on the eve of a momentous epoch in the history of Welsh education, and it behoves everyone who has a voice on its councils that his note shall ring clear for educational efficiency first; then, we have but little fear that the present misunderstanding between the Councils of Wales and the non-provided school managers will vanish like mist before the morning sun. In a few well-chosen words Alderman W. Jones seconded. Mr G. A. Evans proposed a vote of thanks to the Chairman. Mrs W. Lloyd seconded, at the same time paying a high tribute to Mr Davies for his devotion to education. Both propositions were cordially carried. An item that caused great amusement and interest was the club drill by the fol- lowing boys:—W. J. Ll. Bowen, Trevor Mills, Trefor Reynolds, George H. Evans, T. Millar, and W. Oxenham. The school choir (conducted by Mr Tom Price) sang several times. Miss Edith Handley accompanied. The meeting closed with Hen Wlad fy Nhadau," Miss Jennie Coates taking the solo.
