Aberdare District Council.
Aberdare District Council. The above met on Monday, the following members being present: Messrs John Howell (chairman), L. N. Williams (vice- chairman). Edward Morgan, R. L. Berry, John Davies, Thos. Lewis, M. J. Harris, C. B. Stanton, D. Jackson Thomas, Wm. Rees, E. Stonelake, David Davies, E. M. Hann, D. P. Davies, J.P., J. Morgan Jones, W. T. Morgan, Rees Llewellyn with Col. T. Phillips, (clerk), and Mr Owen Williams (surveyor). MEDICAL OFFICERS' REPORTS. Dr Davies' monthly report stated that there had been" during the past month 54 cases of scarlet fever, 2 deaths 14 of diph- theria. 1 death typhoid 3 cases,, no deaths erysipelas 11 cases, croup 1 case, fatal. QUARTERLY REPORT. The number of deaths registered in the three months ended Sept. 30th, will show an increase of 10 as compared with the corresponding quarter of 1904, and a decrease of 30 as compared with the previous three months. The number of deaths in the quarter is 206. The 206 include scarlet fever, 3.; puerperal, 1; measles, 4; typhoid, 1; marasmus, 9; meningitis, 9; diphtheria, 2 croup, 2 convulsions, 29 pneumonia, 20 bronchitis, 10; phthisis, 4 diarrhoea, 25 erysipelas, 1; malignant diseases, 8; in- quests, 21, all other causes.. 57. Children, under one year, died, 94. Taking the population of the Urban Dis- trict Council of Aberdare to be 48,000, this mortality gives a death of 4'29 per 1,000 for the quarter and for the year 17'16 per 1.000. During the three months which have ex- pired there were 352 births; boys 178, girls 174. This gives a birth rate of 7-33 for the quarter and 29'32 per 1,000 for the year.—D. Davies, M,O.H. Dr Rhys' report stated that there were 8 patients at the Isolation Hospital at present. MR STANTON AND THE DOCTORS. Mr S. James, sanitary inspector, reported that Evan Morgan Evans, Trecynon, who had been suffering fromv diphtheria, had left the house while thus suffering. Mr James also reported Mrs Holmes, Cwm, for allowing her two children, who were suffer- ing from scarlet fever, to be about. Mr Edward Morgan observed that it was very doubtful whether Evans suffered from diphtheria. The chairman said that it was a very serious matter if these people were allowed to go about when suffering from an in- fectious disease. The clerk then read a letter from Evans. stating that Dr Banks had instructed him to go out. Mr Stanton said that possibly the man was not aware that he was supposed to stay indoors, and it was possible, after all, that he was not suffering from an infectious disease. The medical men got their fee for notifying such cases, and that might be the reason why this man had been reported to be suffering from diphtheria. The patient possibly thought that a little fresh air would do him a lot of good, and personally he (Mr Stanton) believed that that would help to cure the man far more than what he got from the doctors. (Laughter.) Mr Holmes, the other offender, then ap- peared before the Council, and stated that the doctor told her that her children were suffering from measles, and not scarlet fever. After further discussion it was decided, on the motion of Mr T. Lewis, that the offenders and Dr Banks be asked to attend the next meeting of the Council. IMPURE WATER. Mr John Davies produced a bottle of water drawn in a certain street in Aber- aman. The water was coloured, and not fit for domestic purposes. The surveyor said he was very glad Mr Davies had called attention to it. The pipes which had been rusty had now been changed, and he would find that the present supply was absolutely pure. Mr W. Rees said that Capcoch people complained of the state of the water. The surveyor said this had now been remedied. SURVEYOR'S REPORT. Railifall.The Rainfall recorded at the Nanthir Reservoir for the month of Sept. tember was 3.94 inches, being a decrease of 3.35 inches on the previous month, and an increase of 1.6 inches on the corres- ponding month of last year. Rain fell on 18 days, the greatest fall being on the 8th, viz., 1.43 inches. Private Street Improvements, Queen Street, Aberaman. Final Apportionment. —I beg to lay before you the final ap- portionment of the cost incurred in making good Queen street, Aberaman, under the provisions of the Private Street Works Act, 1892. Water Mains, Lewis Street.-I have to report that the 3 inch watermain in Lewis street, Aberaman, is corroded to such an extent that its delivering capacity is insufficient to supply the demands of the district. I beg to recommend that a new 3 inch main be iaiu down at an estimated cost of £ 68 12s 6d. High Pressure Filters. The straining nozzles in No. 1 Filter at Hendre Bailey have been renewed as mentioned in my report of August 9th, 1905. I have had the other filters examined and I find it is necessary to renew the nozzles in all of them. Brynhyfryd, Ctomaman. I have in- spected the street and the approaches known as Brynhyfryd, Cwmaman. The street nor the approaches have been pro- perly formed, a considerable amount of excavation will be necessary to bring the roadway to a proper section. The cur- bing and channelling will have to be relaid and partly redressed as well as the pavement. A portion of the paving (in- cluding the curbing and chanelling) is made of concrete in sites. Gwawr Street Footpath.—In accordance with your instructions I have examined and made enquiries as to the public right of way over the footpath, or rather :the road, leading from Gwawr street to Ton- llwyd Farm across the railway. It appears that about the year 1870 the late Mr Thomas Howell Jones, of Abergwawr Brewery, obtained a lease of the Tonllwyd Farm; at that time there was no road or footpath at this point. In order to provide an access between the Brewery and the land on the north-west side of the railway Mr Jones constructed the road in question. The public have made use of this road, but I cannot find any evi- dence that the road was dedicated to the use of the public. Cardiff Road and Glamorgan Street, Fiootpath.-There has been a footpath at this spot or near it for at least 37 years and the public have used it uninterruptedly during that period. Building Plans.- I have received the following building plans, and being in accordance with the Bye Laws, I beg to recommend that the same be approved, viz.:—From the Education Committee, additions to Capcoch Council Schools from Mr F. W. Mander, Glanynys, two cottages at Cwmbach Road, Aberdare; from Mr Daniel Davies, Sunny Bank House, Aber- aman, cowshed in rear of Sunny Bank House; from Mrs Jane Evans, 19, Well Place, Cwmbach, glass roof in rear of No. 19, Well Place from Mr Thomas Bolitho and Mr A. Symes, 24 and 25, Brynhyfryd, Cwmaman, cartsheds at rear of Nos. 24 and 25, Brynhyfryd, Cwmaman, and from Mrs Purnell, w.c. in rear of No. 6, Railway Row, Cwmaman. Drainage Plaiis.-I have received the following drainage plans, and recommend that the same be approved, viz Amended drainage of Capcoch Council Schools two new houses at Cwmbach Road, and amended drainage of No. 6, Railway Row, Cwmaman. No. of houses approved as above 2 No. of houses previously approved 9567 Total number of houses approved 9569 The surveyor's recommendations were adopted. BRYNHYFRYD. The proposed improve- ments of this place was abandoned for a time. GWAWR FOOTPATH. Messrs C. B. Stanton and D. Jackson Thomas main- tained that there was a public right of way over this footpath, notwithstanding the surveyor's opinion that there was not. The chairman said he remembered a public footpath there 30 years ago, The people who lived in Brook street used to come down that way to Gwawr street. Mr Hann They used to beg the G.W.R. to allow them to come. Mr E. Stonelake moved and Mr L. N. Williams seconded that this matter be re- ferred to the Roads and Streets Committee, with power to collect evidence from aged persons residing in that neighbourhood. GLAMORGAN STREET FOOTPATH. It was explained that this had been closed owing to persons committing nuisances there. It was decided to ask the P.D. Co. to re-open it. ABERAMAN COMPLAINTS. Mr John Davies asked if anything had been done to provide North View terrace with gas lamps. The surveyor replied that he had seen Mr Martin of the P.D. Co., with the view of obtaining electric light there. With reference to the complaint of the people of Tanyard place, Aberaman, re lack of supply of water, it was resolved, on the recommendation of the surveyor, to extend the water main to that street. LOAN. The clerk read a letter from the Local Government Board sanctioning the borrow- ing of C14,150 for the erection, &c., of a Higher Standard School. It was agreed to apply to the Public Works Loan Board for the money. ABERCWMBOI AFFAIRS. PROPER NAME, ABERCWMYBWCI. Rev J. Bowen Davies, Abercwmboi, wrote with reference to changing the name Capcoch. He wrote that a well-attended meeting of the inhabitants had been held last month. Their first reason for changing it was that Capcoch was a mongrel name. (Laughter). Secondly, the monoglot Englishman was apt to give to the last syllable of the word, a silly and vulgar meaning; besides, the tradesmen were constantly experiencing difficulties with regard to the delivery of goods, &c. Thirdly, the origin of the name was very degrading. It was associated with an old pugilist who resided in the place many years ago. He wore a red cap during these pugilistic en- counters and used to act as referee, The people of Abercwmboi were naturally ashamed of it all. Their fourth reason was that Abercwmboi was a more natural and suitable name, and the fifth, that it was the ardent wish of the inhabitants to have it altered. Mr L. N. Williams: Abercwmboi is a mongrel name, too. It is a corruption of the proper name—Abercwmybwci. (Loud Laughter.) Mr Wm. Rees said he had attended the meeting, and he could assure them that the people were very enthusiastic in the matter. He moved that they take steps to have it altered. Mr M. J. Harris seconded and the motion was carried. LIGHTING.—Mr Wm. Rees said that a lamp was badly needed in Jenkin street, Abercwmboi. LIBRARY. Mr John Davies said that the people were also anxious to open a branch library there, and get a share of the library rate. Mr Stanton Is that in Capcoch ? Clerk': Abercwmboi, please. (Laughter). Mr J. Davies was asked to give a notice of motion, and he did so. UNEMPLOYED QUESTION. A letter was read from Mr E. Stonelake, who had written on behalf of the Aberdare Trades Council, asking the District Council to adopt the Unemployed Act under section 1 and clause 1. There was, he said, a large number of unemployed in this district owing to trade depression, and the pro- spect was that that depression would con- tinue for some time to come. The clerk advised Mr Stonelake that a notice of motion would be necessary. NINE NOTICES OF MOTION. PROPOSED IMPORTANT IMPROVEMENTS. There were nine notices of motion down in the name of Mr C. B. Stanton. They were as follows :— 1st. That the lake in the Aberdare Park be made much larger. 2nd. That smart skiffs or boats should replace the old tubs on the lake. 3rd, That proper lavatory accommodation for ladies and gentlemen be erected some- where near the lake. 4th. That a decent bandstand be also placed near the lake. 5th. That refreshment rooms be erected, so that the public may obtain refreshments at moderate prices. 6th. That a garden maze should be planted at once in the Park, being a thing of beauty and a source of revenue. It would also be a great attraction to outsiders and bring many people into the town. 7th. That trees should be planted in our streets where-ever it is possible. The transformation would make up for the cost entailed. 8th. That some steps should be taken to get: swimming baths in the centre of the town, where polo matches and swimming I contests could take place. This would also mean a great source of revenue if the thing was properly worked. 9th. That we as a Council should take over the Public Theatre, or build one for ourselves, as it would be another source of revenue. In moving the first, Mr Stanton said he did not want to occupy too much of their time in delivering a long speech on each motion. If the Council was in favour of them, he need not say anything. But if there was to be any opposition, perhaps they would be good enough to signify by a growl, so that he might know what argu- mentative force to put on. (Laughter). Mr Stanton having spoken for a while, Mr L. N. Williams growled, and Mr Stanton went on for another few minutes. Mr T. Lewis seconded the motion. Rev J. M. Jones moved that it be re- ferred to the Parks Committee, and Mr L, N. Williams seconded. Messrs R. Llewellyn, E. M. Hann, and the chairman supported the amendment. In the division, nine voted for the amend- ment and seven for the motion. In proposing his second motion, Mr Stan- ton complained that there were a good many fossils sitting round the table. It would be a kindness towards some of them to speak on in order to waste their time. They had voted against his motion not be- cause of the cost, but because they were opposed to making the town beautiful. He would go on with the other motions if he were to die in despair (laughter). He main- tained that no respectable man would take his best girl, or any other girl, in the pre- sent boats in the Park. They were too much like whale-boats. Mr E. M. Hann observed that some of these matters had been on previously, and had been referred to the Parks committee, Therefore he failed to appreciate the force of bringing them on again before the com- mittee had considered them. Mr L. N. Williams remarked that if Mr Stanton was under the delusion that he was the only person in favour of beautifying the town, the sooner he got rid of that delusion the better. Mr Berry said that the fact that the Coun- cil had referred the question to commit- tee showed they were in sympathy with it. Mr Stanton himself was chairman of the Parks committee, so why had he not called a meeting to consider these questions, when they were discussed on a former occasion. After further discussion it was agreed to refer Nos. 2 to 7 to the Parks committee. No. 8 was rejected by 7 votes to 4, and No. 9 rejected by 8 votes to 2. DEVIL'S BRIDGE, ABERAMAN. Mr D. Davies, in accordance with notice, moved that the Devil's Bridge, crossing the T.V.R. near the Park, be moved from its present location to the upper end of Gas Works road, so as to make an entrance into the Park. This motion, after a long. discussion, was referred to a committee, and the surveyor to prepare an estimate of the cost.
. Thanksgiving Service.
Thanksgiving Service. Highland Place Church, Aberdare The annual harvest thanksgiving services of Highland Place Unitarian Church were held on Sunday. There were crowded con- gregations throughout the day. The pulpit, windows, pillars, &c., had been lavishly and most artistically decorated with flowers, fruit and vegetables, and the whole presented a picturesque appearance. The special preacher this year was the Rev. William James, B.A., J.P., Llandyssul, who delivered two able sermons in the morning and evening, and addressed a children's meeting in the afternoon. Mr James' text in the morning was Matt, vii. 20, By their fruits ye shall know them." He spoke of the tendency of men to build walls of separation and draw dividing lines between one section and another. Whether it was due to the natural exclusiveness of man's nature or his inherent selfishness, he did not know. But such had always been men's policy. The Chinese had erected a high wall round their celestial kingdom and they regarded that part as the centre of the planet. The church universal had always been drawing the line between saints and sinners, elect and the lost, &c., and attempted to make it easy for human apprehension to see the difference. Really and truly it was the Infinite alone., who had a right to draw these lines. What presump- tion for some people who styled themselves evangelistical to regard their members as being specially .favoured for eternal life! And these people pretended to be followers of Him who refused to be called good Some other method must be sought for dis- cerning the good from the bad. What, he asked, could draw the line '? Well, nothing could draw the line-nothing but the lesson taught them by the harvest and the words of their text, By their fruits ye shall know them." It was necessary to be very careful and lenient when they were judging their fellow men. The children's service in the afternoon proved very interesting. Mr W. R. Evans conducted the devotional part. Recitations were given by Mattie Watkins, Sarah Davies and Margaret Evans solo, 0 Rest in the Lord," by Miss Maggie Mary Davies, and an anthem, "The Saviour's invitation by the choir. In the evening, the choir, conducted by Miss A. G. George, gave ^rendering of the anthem, "Thine, 0 Lord. is the greatness." Miss S. George presided at the organ through- out the day.
Merthyr Board of Guardians
Merthyr Board of Guardians The above was held on Saturday. There were present Mr J. Rogers (in the chair), Revs J. O'Reilly and J. H. Davies (vice-chairman), Mrs D. M. Richards, Messrs D. Evans (Merthyr), H. Bosher, H. Lewis. J. Prowle, D. Edwards, D. Evans (Hirwain), H. Jones, John Morgan, E. Edwards, H. Lewis, T. Weale, S. Hawkins, R. Rees, J. Jenkins, Jos. Morgan, T. E. Morgan. D. Hopkins, N. F. Hankey, D. Davies, W. Hiley, R. Evans, Revs W. C. Thomas, W. S. Davies, Ll. Williams, with Mr F. T. James (clerk), and E. J. Hughes (assistant clerk). OUT-RELIEF.—A cheque for 4365 was drawn. HOMES FOR IMBECILE CHILDREN. Mr J. Prowle gave notice that he would move that considering that the present system of training pauper children is not suitable for the training of the weak- minded and imbeciles, the clerk be in- structed to communicate with the author- ities of homes which would be suitable for such children as we have at the school and workhouse. CHILDREN'S ATTENDANT. Three applicants selected by the com- mittee to appear before the Board as can- didates for the post of children's attendant at the Aberdare Training School now made their appearance. They were Misses Agnes James, Cardiff; Annie James, Cardiff, and Lizzie Thomas, Aberdare. The latter was appointed with an overwhelming majority. THE ASSESSMENT OF A PUBLIC HOUSE. A RIOTOUS DISCUSSION. Mr D. Hopkins moved that the Board's permission be given to obtain legal assist- ance in the appeal of Mrs Evans, Pelican Inn, Dowlais, against the decision of the Assessment Committee. Mr H. Jones seconded.—The Rev Ll. Williams advised the Board to pause and consider before taking part in legal proceedings for the sake of a difference of £ 8.—Mr E. Edwards: It is £ 42— Mr D. Hopkins I am surprised at the Rector's-Rev Ll. Williams Give us your figures Mr Hopkins and not your wonderments. It is a serious matter to many of the ratepayers. It is unfortunate that this should arise over the question of a public house. But I wish to protest in the name of the ratepayers against this ex- penditure.—The clerk explained that the exact difference was £ 53.—Mr D. Evans, Merthyr, protested against an irresponsible body arrogating to itself the work of tieing the guardians to its decision. (Cries of Order.)—Mr Evans: You interrupt me because you are afraid to hear the truth. It is the work of an irresponsible body.- Chairman I am responsible for order here. -Mr Evans, in spite of calls to order by the chairman and some of the members, continued his protest for some time. I have a right as an assessor to argue this question," said he, but remember that this day week I will move a resolution. There is nothing but gag here." Mr Evans then reluctantly sat down with an air of angry defiance. Again he jumped to his feet and resumed his remarks in defiance of the protests of the chairman, who begged in vain for order. Eventually the chairman rose to his feet declaring that the situation was unbearable, and asking the members present to support the chair or that he WQuld vacate it. Several members then joined the chairman in the demand for order, which was at last temporarily re- stored.—Mr Prowle then got up and stated that this house was a tied house. Were they going to give their sanction to all kinds of schemes drafted by the brewers and their friends with the view of defeating the objects of the Assessment Committee ? -Mr T. E. Morgan then protested against the remarks made by Mr Prowle, and the latter replied, You are here to represent the trade."—Mr Morgan I have as much right to come here to represent my trade as you have to come here to represent your interests—Mr Prowle If you open your mouth you must expect to get it filled.- Mr Morgan You cannot fill it for me.— Chairman (with vehemence) Order, order. The Assessment Committee have given their best attention to this question. All the houses with the exception of one have accepted their decision. They have dealt with the Pelican exactly the same as other houses. If we don't support the committee we shall be doing them a great injustice.— Mr H. Jones Mr D. Evans has had more experience than I in assessment matters, but-Mr D. Evans No, no, that is untrue.—Chairman Why this interruption Mr Evans ?—Because he is telling an untruth.—Chairman You don't enhance your reputation by continuing these inter- ruptions.—Mr H. Jones now resumed his speech, and began to say that they should not regard the brewer's trade in the same light as other trades. It was a trade which had reduced the people to-. Mr Jones was unable to continue his speech owing to loud cries that he was beside the question.—Mr Dd. Evans muttered from his seat that the chairman had refused to allow him to move an amendment.— Chairman Once more I must ask you to support the chair.—Rev J. H. Davies: That remark of Mr Evans is unfair. The chairman made no such refusal.—Ultimately Mr Hopkins' motion was put to the meet- ing and carried, Mr D. Evans being the only dissentient. THE CALL. The clerk said that in pursuance with the estimate the call for X40,000 had been ap- portioned as follows among the various parishes :— Aberdare £ 11,193, Gelligaer £ 10,337, Merthyr £ 16,100, Penderyn £950, Rhigos X611, Vaynor £ 809. THE PERMANENT FUND DISPUTE. Mr Evan Owen, secretary of the Per- manent Fund, wrote with regard to the cases of Owen Richards and Jane Cheefy. The pay of the former had been suspended, he said, because he did not present himJfelf at Cardift to be medically examined as arranged. Mr Owen stated further that the Society were prepared to submit the matter to arbitration.—Mr Prowle con- tended that the Society ought to have made some arrangements to meet the old man at Cardiff when he came down. He would move that arbitration be accepted, This was agreed to. ABERDARE TRAINING SCHOOL. The superintendent had given a satis- factory report concerning the house of T. Vaughan, Mardy, whose application for the custody of his brother had been granted by the committee.—It was agreed not to grant the application of Miss M. Samuel, Dowlais, for the custody of her nephews now at the school.—The report of the sub- committee appointed to visit Nazareth House, Cardiff, and St Michael's, Treforest, stated that six boys at Treforest and the 32 girls at Nazareth House were doing well.— A roll call of the children in the school was made, there being 26 from Aberdare, 10 from Gelligaer, and 151 from Merthyr. Total 187, which tallied with the number in the admission and discharge books. VARIOUS. The visiting committee at the Workhouse stated that according to the roll call there were 481 inmates at the House, which number tallied with the Master's discharge book.—It was agreed to grant 14 days ex- tension to Nurse Jones, who is an inmate of Sandgate Sanatorium.
--------------Ap Tudor, Aberdare,…
Ap Tudor, Aberdare, as Revivalist. Theft of £300 admitted at a Meeting. The following paragraph appeared in the Daily Mail last Friday. Mr D. Matthews is no other than Ap Tudor, Aberdare, and Miss Myfanwy Morgan, is the youngest daughter of the late Alderman David Morgan, miners' agent. Revival feeling has taken a strong hold in Rugby, where Mr D. Matthews, a Welsh- man and convert of Mr Evan Roberts, helped by Miss Myfanwy Morgan, has been conducting a mission since September 18th at the Market place Sunday School. Interviewed by a Daily Mail repre- sentative, Mr Matthews stated that during the last fortnight over 110 converts had been made, several of them under striking conditions. One night,' he said, a man suddenly rose from the midst of a congregation of 400 and confessed to have overcharged another man £ 313 in a business transaction and that just before coming to the meeting he had seen his victim and had told him the truth. This statement caused great excitement.' On the day of Mr Matthews's arrival about fifty young men, on leaving the meeting, threw their pipes on the ground and trampled on them while others discarded packets of cigarettes and pouches. Mr Matthews substantiated the force of prayer by an occurrence which happened yesterday. Being in want of a new suit, he offered up prayer, and two hours later a tailor called to take his measure, saying that he had received the order from a gentleman, whose name be could not divulge. If personality, as in mapy other walks of life, helps the revivalist, Mr Matthews should rival Mr Evan Roberts in success. Born 26 years ago, in Raven Hill, only four and a half miles from Loughor, his con- verter's birthplace, he is a typical Welsh- man, with brown, deep-set, penetrating eyes."
---Scenes in a Cwmdare Chapel.
Scenes in a Cwmdare Chapel. Strange Conduct of a Revivalist. A painful scene occurred on Sunday mor- ning at Elim Congregational Chapel, Cwm- dare, when just before the service com- menced, and the pastor, the Rev. D^ Griffiths, was going to ascend the pulpit, to the amazement of the congregation a young member named Caleb Beynon rushed up the pulpit steps, pushed aside the minister, opened the Bible, and commenced to read out a portion of the Scriptures. Consider- able commotion ensued, and this was some- what intensified when the young man's brother, who was sitting in the gallery, be- came so excited that he jumped on to the edge of the railings of the balcony, and would have fallen over into the body of the building had he not been promptly pulled back. Several members of the congregation called out to the man in the pulpit to come down, and during the excitement which followed the young fellow swooned and was carried by his brother to his home at 10 Bwllfa road, where he subsequently re- covered. It is stated that ever since the revival Beynon has been somewhat excited, and has on several occasions insisted upon being allowed a more prominent and active part in the conduct of the services. On the previous Monday, special preaching services were held at Elim, and at one meeting Beynon entered the pulpit, osten- sibly to commence the meeting in the usual devotional manner, but instead of doing that he delivered a harangue, stating that he could not pray in Elim because God was not there. He remarked further that the chapel door reminded him of Christ on the cross, because it was suspended between two thieves. It should be stated that on both sides of the door foundation stones have been laid, one by a local gentleman and the other by a neighbour, their names having been engraved thereon. To go back further still-to the time when the revival fire was at its climax in the locality, Beynon, who was then laid up in his house owing to an accident, made him- self famous in the neighbourhood of Cwm- dare by establishing a kind of confession tribunal in his house. Many young men and women gathered thither, and were asked to take part in religious services held there. If they were unable to speak with ease and fluency, Beynon would atbribute the obstacle to the existence of some unconfessed sin and would call upon them to confess at once. Among the young people who congregated there was a young man named Phillips, who ib will be remembered made some strange confessions, many of them having reference to sins which he had never committed. He was eventually removed to Bridgend Asylum, and is still there. Beynon had been one time preparing for the ministry.
