Penderyn Brewster Sessions. The adjourned licensing session for the Penderyn Petty Sessional Division of Breconshire were held at Cefn on Thursday, before Colonel J. J. Jones (chairman) and Mr William Williams. Renewal of the Golden Lion, Hirwain, was opposed by the police, on the ground of structural defects. Mr F. P. Charles, who appeared for the owners, produced plans of proposed altera- tions. These were considered satisfactory, and renewal was granted. Renewal of the Brecon Arms, Penderyn, was objected to on account of structural defects, and the fact that the landlord had been proceeded against three times, and fined once for a breach of the licensing laws. Mr J. W. Evans ap- peared for the tenant, and Mr D. W. Jones for the owner of the house. P.C. Jones said that the landlord provided refreshments for parties on Sundays. The house was crowded, but he believed that people went there chiefly for the purpose of obtaining alcoholic drinks. Mr Evans put in .testi- monials as to character from the Mayor of Cardiff (Alderman Hughes) and Dr Davies, J.P., Aberdare. David Dravies, the local postmaster, said that the place was tidy once, but now he met people half drunk as he went to Sunday School. He did not say that the disorderliness was confined to this house, to which he had no special objection. He was against the beer" in general (laughter). Mr Evans submitted that a dead set had been against the house by the police because Mr David Ap Jones, the tenant, was of an excitable disposition. He said he would give an undertaking that a new tenant should be provided if the license was renewed. The Bench agreed to renew it on this condition, and asked that special care should be exercised in regard to Sunday trading. The objection against the renewal of the license of the Butcher's Arms, Pen- deryn, was withdrawn on the landlord giving an understanding that structural alterations should be carried out.

Presentation to Mr E. Morgan, Penrhiwceiber. A crowded meeting was held at the Miners Institute, Penrhiwceiber, on Monday even- ing, on the occasion of a presentation to Mr Ebenezer Morgan, under-manager, who has removed to Porth, Rhondda, where he has been appointed manager of Insole's Cymmer Colliery. Mr J. P. Davies occupied the chair, and he was supported on the platform by some of the leading residents of Penrhiwceiber, In opening the meeting Mr Davies referred to the esteem in which Mr Morgan and family were held by the inhabitants of Pen- rhiwceiber. A song was then sung by Mr Joseph Williams. The illuminated address was presented to Mr Morgan by Mr John Jones, one of the oldest workmen at the local collieries. In doing so, Mr Jones referred to the very good relationship which had existed between the recipient and the workmen. The address, which contained views of Penrhiwceiber Colliery, T.V.R. Station, Rheola street, and Hermon Chapel, also portraits of Mr and Mrs Morgan, was read by Mr E. T. Williams, the energetic sec- retary of the presentation. It ran as follows Honour to whom Honour is Due." To Mr Ebenezer Morgan, under-manager, Penrhiwceiber. February 27th, 1905. We, the workmen and inhabitants of Penrhiwceiber and neighbourhood, respect- fully tender our sincere regret at your re- linquishment of the arduous and responsible duties which were necessarily an attribute to the high official capacity you occupied among us, and this we do with special sig- nificance to the fact that during the twenty- five years which have elapsed since you first exercised an authoritative influence over us in our multifarous duties connected with the welfare of the large and important colliery of Penrhiwceiber. your conduct has been worthy of commendation. It is a pleasant reminiscence that you were always ready to do what was in your power to ameliorate the condition of the people by. furthering any moral movement conducive to their best interests; always willing to assist in developing the spirit of culture among the young people by lending your influence to the various literary and eisteddfodic meetings held in the district; and in the high spiritual sphere of religious life you were most energetic and useful in extending the boundaries of the Christian churches. Thus we feel it our bounden duty to reciprocate a little of the sympathy you have extensively shown towards us. We are also pleased that this feeling is shared by so many outside Penrhiwceiber and that your many good qualities should have procured you so large a circle of friends among all classes of the community. 0 We unitedly beg your acceptance of this address together with the gold watch chain and pendant as small tokens of our regard and esteem. And, further with reference to your repected wife and helpmate who has so ably a-sisted you and your family in attain- ing and keeping the honour of your position, we respectfully ask her to accept the tray, tea and coffee service as slight tokens of our appreciation of her Christian character. In conclusion we hope that the intervention of a Divine providence may secure for you and your family in the new sphere of labour all the happiness you so richly deserve; and that the lives so conscientiously lived among us may in the future become still more auspicious and eventually secure the reward of hearing the Divine benediction when entering the portals of everlasting C, happiness. Signed on behalf of the Committee. J. P, Davies, chairman Joseph Williams, vice-chairman; E. T. Williams and Richard Parry, secretaries David Davies, treasurer, &c., &c. Mr Charles Morgan, winding engineer, presented a silver tray and tea and coffee services to Mrs Morgan, and Messrs Richard Parry and Morgan Morgan, presented to Misses Cassie and: Hannah Morgan a gold watch each. Bardic addresses were then read by Messrs W. Hicks, H. Davies and Ap Valant. These will appear in our Welsh column next week. Mr Ebenezer Morgan, responding on be- half of himself and family, said that he was deeply honoured, by the great kindness shown towards himself and family by the inhabitants of Penrhiwceiber. He was agreeably surprised to find that he had so many friends there. He felt inclined to ask what did it all mean ? He put it all down to the brotherly love that existed there and not to any special trait in his character. During the 25 years it had been his special privilege to work among them, he could say honestly that what he had done had been done with the purest of motives. The general good of the place was always his motto. The years spent there had been happy ones. He was perhaps the oldest official at the Penrhiwceiber Colliery—with the exception of Mr Phillip Jones, M.E., of Cilfynydd, the present manager of that im- portant colliery. Penrhiwceiber would always have a very warm place in his heart. Perhaps he might say that his connection with the district had been one of immense benefit to himself. He had been under some of the most important managers of the South Wales coalfield. He referred to the manager of Messrs Nixons, the late Mr Brown, who was acknowledged to be an authority, William Thomas, Brynawel; Mr Llewellyn, &c. The experience obtained by him under these men had fitted him to undertake the more onerous position he had held. Safety of the workmen had been his watchword, and he wished to im- press upon all present the advice he had recurred at the commencement by Mr Brown, Don't sleep by the side of your enemy," meaning thereby not to be negli- gent regarding' gases in the coal mines (applause). He wished to offer the warmest thanks of his heart for their kindness. The presents would continually remind him and his family of the kind feelings of Pen- rhiwceiber towards him. Miss Kendry having sung sweetly, Mr David Harris, treasurer of the Mountain Ash Eisteddfod, referred to the great ser- vices rendered by Mr Morgans to that in- stitution. Ap loan Dar having sang in splendid style The Bugler," Mr Evan Thomas said he felt highly honoured in being called to add his quota. Penrhiwceiber was clear- headed enough to know a good man and to appreciate him, as the present testimonial witnessed. He had known Mr Morgans for over 18 years, and his character during that period was one to be emulated by the young men of the district, He wished him all success in the new sphere, and trusted that he would identify himself with all good movements there as he had done at Pen- rhiwceiber (applause). Mr Morgan Jones, another of the senior workmen, spoke in complimentary terms, and said that Mr Morgans had always been an honest official holding the scales equally between the workman and master. He regretted his removal but knew that his advent was a great gain to Porth. Miss Price, Penrhiwceiber, then sang ex- cellently The Lake of Killarney." 0 Mr Evan Jones also spoke in eulogistic terms of Mr Morgan and the family, who were always ready to do a good turn and assist to carry out the movements for good. Mr John Davies, Towy terrace, proposed a hearty vote of thanks to the chairman. This was seconded by Mr Ebenezer Morgans. The large audience then joined in singing 0 agor fy Hygaid i weled."

The Revival and Baptism. 1 [BY THE REV D. GEORGE PRICE, LLWYDCOED.] [n a report of a revival meeting at Saron, Nantymoel, I read that a young woman entered the rostrum and with remarkable eloquence addressed the congregation, and read with a wealth of expression II. Acts, And when the day of Pentecost was fully come," etc. As she read she made a vivid running commentary. At the close of the address the congregation stood up and sang Praise God from whom all blessings flow." We are not told whether the whole chap- ter was read, but if it were, I must confess that the Word of God was given a better reception at Nantymoel than at a recent revival meeting at Llwydcoed. The report of that meeting in the South Wales Daily News of November 25th was headed A Jarring Note at Llwydcoed." The jarring note was the reading of Acts ii. 38. It was reported that I addressed the congregation on Believers' Baptism." This was in- correct. I simply read portions of St. John's Gospel dealing with the person and work of the Holy Spirit, and then proceeded to read the second chapter of Acts, making a run- ning commentary. All went well until I came to the 38th verse. After reading the 37th verse :—Now, when they heard this, they were pricked in their hearts, and said unto Peter and the rest of the apostles, Brethren, what shall we do ? I remarked that Peter's answer on the day of Pentecost was never given by the leaders of the present so-called Pentecost. I then read the 38th verse Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized evt',ry one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of your sins, &c." Before I had finished the verse, Mr Rogers, a Methodist deacon, interrupted, saying they believed all that, and that there was no need of my reading any more Scripture. Some of the Congregationalists and Methodists shouted that they had come to a prayer meeting and not to hear the Scripture read. I replied that Mr Evan Roberts had told them to give the Spirit free play, and I also quoted Ephesians vi. 17, where we are enjoined to take the sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God." Mr Rogers again inter- rupted, exclaiming chat he was baptised 67 years ago. I told him that he had only been sprinkled, for which there was no Scriptural authority., and instead of singing Praise God from whom all blessings flow as at Nantymoel, a scene of wild confusion fol- lowed. Methodists vied with the Congrega- tionalists in their endeavours to silence my reading, and amid the din and uproar the Rev W. Samlet Davies said that I had taken advantage of a mixed audience. I im- mediately answered and said that Peter did the same thing on the Day of Pentecost, quoting Acts ii. 9, 10, and 11., Parthians and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia &c., &c. While I quoted the verses, the Methodists and Congrega- tionalists began to leave the chapel, a few prominent Congregationalists inviting them to Horeb. All the Baptists with a few Methodists remained. Order having been restored, I proceeded to read portions of the Acts of the Apostles, which prove that the baptism of the Holy Spirit does not dispense with water baptism. I then gave an address on Believers' Baptism. Mr Evan Roberts and his coadjutors seem to lay all the stress on the baptism of the Holy Spirit, absolutely ig- noring water baptism. Mr Roberts was reported to have said that the Rev T. Valentine Evans' statement concerning his baptism was all nonsense." If baptism is "all nonsense," what becomes of the ex- plicit teaching of the New Testament? An investigation of -1 the Acts of the Apostles demonstrates beyond a doubt that water baptism and the gifts of the Holy Ghost," while often intimately associated were yet separate items in the Divine programme. Thus we read Peter said at Pentecost, "Re- pent, and be baptized and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost." The Samaritans when they believed Philip were baptised," ■' which when the apostles heard," they sent unto them Peter and John. who when they were come down, prayed for them that they might receive the gift of the Holy Ghost; for as yet He had fallen upon none of them." And Ananias enjoined Paul, ''The Lord hath sent me that thou mightest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost," and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized;" while Peter speaking concerning the household of Cor- nelius, on whom the Holy Ghost fell," ex- claimed, Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptised, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we ? And he commanded them to be baptised in the name of the Lord." So that a believer having received the Holy Ghost was re- garded by the apostles as an unanswerable argument why he should be baptised in water; and to talk of consecration, and boast concerning holiness, while men are disobedient to a plain command, is practi- cally to refnse the teaching of that Divine Spirit of whom the Master said, He will guide you into all truth."
