Bible Class.-O,n Sunday afternoon St. John's Bible Class met at the National Schools. A paper was read by Mr. Vicary on "Tne Unemployed/' A discussion fol- lowed. The Rev. E. S. Morris, B.A., pre- sided. .sided. St. Elvan's Church.—Advent Sunday.— On Sunday morning the Vicar, the Rev. C. A. H. Green, M.A., administered the sacred rite of Baptism to eight persons. At the 11 o'clock service (choral) the ser- mon was preached by the Rev. H. J. Rid- deLsdell, M.A. (sub-warden of St. Michael's). At the afternoon children's service the Rev. Henry Thomas, B.A., oc- cupied the pulpit. There was a large congregation at the evening service. The choir, under the direction of Mr. J. Williams, the organist, gave a fine ren- .dering of the anthem, "Sleepers Wake." i An excellent sermon was preached by the Rev.E. S. Morris, B.A., and at the close a litany was sung. Trinity.—"And when he is ccme he will reprove the world of sin." Theee words constituted the text of the Rev. Mr. < Jenkins's sermon on Sunday morning. He dwelt on the Saviour's composure when nearing the hour of death. When practically dying he spoke words of com- tort to his disciples. This was a re- version of the general order. It was the j living that generally comforted the dying. The topic of the sermon was that the Spirit of God was an, efficient and suffi- dent substitute for Jesus Christ himself. ( He observed that in the case of many ] men the body was merely the coffin of the soul, which was dead in trespasses. 1 Into the house of God there entered the critic, the spectator, and the sermon J taster, but not the sinner. What were many people doing in the house of GodP They were listening to the sermon, but dodgmg the truth. They were quite pre- pared to try a compromise between God .and Mammon, although Christ had said J that that was impossible. In the course of his ministry the conviction came to him more and more that no Human power alone could convince man that he was a sinner.

A Mountain Ash i Litterateur. ] i MR. JOSEPH KEATING. J t It may not be generally known to our 'eaders that we have in our midst a vriter of no little renown in the person a )f Mr. Joseph Keating. Mr. Keating is t native of Mountain Ash, his parents laving lived here for a great many years. Ifter leaving school, Mr. Keating was em- iloyed in one of Messrs. Nixon's Collier- J es. However, developing a. taste for iterature, he ultimately deserted his ,° lative heath and sought pastures new. :n the beginning of this year Mr. Keat- ng returned to Mountain Ash, and since :hen he has been a frequent contributor :o the "Daily Mail," "Daily News," 'London Magazine, and other London f lapers. Mr. Keating bids fair to become v me of the most vivid chroniclers of col- iery life. His publishers, Messrs. j' Uhattos and Windus, have recently issued t new novel from his pen, entitled, J 'Maurice." The literary critic of the. 'Catholic Herald"- in a lengthy criticism I >n the book says :— "'Maurice,' by Joseph Keating (Lon- 1 Ion: Chatto and Windus, 6s.). This is rj he best novel that has appeared since j Vatts Dunton published 'Alwyn.' Like j Alwyn,' it deals with Wales, and like i Alwyn' too, it is a powerful protest igainst the brute force and materialism I vhich just now are having their hour of v iride and triumph in every land under ] :he sun. -Mr. Keating had already f iarned a reputation for courage and sin- 2 jerity in the 'Son of Judith,' but Maurice' places him without question in ] ;he very front rank of literary artists. ] We welcome the 'arrival' of a new 'orce in English literature, and we trust fi Mr. Keating will live to develop the B deas upon which this novel is founded, t jut we feel that it is hardly possible for lim to produce anything that will take :he place of 'Maurice' in our estimation."

L A cheque for zC385 was drawn. OVERCROWDING AT THE, WORK- HOUSE. Lack of Sleeping Accommodation. It was decided on the recommendation of a committee that a dormitory be erected over the day-room, which is now being erected for the old men. The new room will provide sleeping accommoda- tion for 20 inmates. Mr. J. Lloyd stated that there were in the House and Infirmary 541 bedsteads. There were between 20 and 30 more in- mates than there were of beds, and the erection of this room would to some ex- tent relieve the overcrowding at the House. A TUMULTUOUS SCENE. Mr. D. Evans Defies the Chair. The Rev. LI. Williams stated that the committee convened to consider the action at Merthyr General Hospital in refusing admission to workmen who subscribed to that institution had met. Mr. Williams said the Rev. J. Hathren Davies and him- ielf constituted the committee. They had come to the conclusion that if a reso- lution passed by the Guardians in May 1 last be put into force the root of the matter would be got at. Mr. J. Prowle disagreed with the de-* vision of the committee. The Hospital, lie claimed, was for surgical operations inly, and not for cases where patients inly suffered from abscesses on the fingers jr such complaints. Mr. D. Evans, Merthyr, spoke a few words, but the Chairman called him to lrder. Mr. Wills now got up, and protested igainst a remark which he alleged Mr. ] blvans had made, namely, that it was a ( nisfortune for patients to be brought to ;he Union Infirmary. Mr. Evans interrupted Mr. Wills, and i he Chairman peremptorily ordered the 'ormer to sit down. ] Mr. Evans: I will not allow the Chair- i nan to address me in that spirit. I give i lotice that I shall bring this matter hr- 1 rvard again. Chairman: When I ordered Mr. Evans c ;o sit down I did not do so out of any i iisrespect towards him. t Mr. Evans now directed his artillery c owards Mr. Wills, and emphatically de- c lied having used the words cited by Mr. ivillis. "Did I say that?" he enquired, urning to the Press table. There was no t iffirmative reply, and he commenced € )ouring another rhetorical'volley on Mr. iVills. Mr. Wills retorted, Mr. Evans oudly declaring that his opponent was c )ut of order. > i "Mr. Wills is in order," declared the Chairman. "No, he is not," replied Mr. s 3vans with great warmth. r The Chairman (heatedly): Am I chair- « nan or not ? Mr. Evans was on his feet again con- tinuing his harangue with unabated 1 rigour, but he was greeted with a terrific t :horus of "chair" and sit down." Mr. 1 vans stood defiantly for about two min- c ites, meanwhile uttering a violent pro- „ est, but the tumult was too loud to make tis words audible. Ultimately Mr. Evans t vas compelled to sit down, but he man- ? iged to make heard the following sen- t :ence, "I never made the statement that 1 Hr. Wills reiterated." The Chairman remarked: "I am afraid a hat Ald. David Evans is not improving," uid the scene closed. c NO SECONDER. id Mr. Prowle moved that the cost of erect- i ng a davroom for the old men at the j vV orkhouse be paid for out of current f iceounts. He would be brief, although ie would like to speak for a long time 'J hat day, it being the Board's anniver- sary, land there were some Guardians a here who were seldom seen there. i Laughter.) There was no seconder to the resolution, md it fell through. THE OFFICERS AND THE POOR, r The Rev. J. O'Reilly gave notice that he c rould that day fortnight call attention t o the relation between some of their 1 ifficers and the poor, and move a resolu- 7 ion thereon. I A REGISTRAR APPOINTED. 1 The Clerk said that there were 35 ap- plicants for the post of registrar for the acant division in Merthyr. t The Clerk now read the names, all who a vere not duly proposed and seconded r, )eiitg struck off the list. The survivors 3 Lumbered 17, namely, L. Batten, Timothy ). Davies, Julia Game, all from Merthyr'; £ V. O. Evans and T. Griffiths, Dowlais- V. H. Harries, Hengoed; E. J. Hughes, v derthyr; H.

Mountain .Ash 'County Cour> £ On Monday.—Before His Honour Judge Gwilym Williams. JUDGMENT SUMMONSES. There was a long hit of judgment sum- monses gone tiiiougli, many of which were struck out for various reasons. In all cases where there were no certi- ficates of earnings, the judge declined t, make an order, or grant an adjournment. "Un.ess you prove your cases," he re- marked, "your cases must be struck out. Some of you people recover your debts with too iiitle trouble. Everything is done for you here. You do not take any trouble yourselves." A RUSE THAT FAILED. E. T. James, butcher, Mountain Ash, who was represented by Mr. W. R. Mor- gan, Aberdare, sued George Evans, Cross- street, Ynysboeth. Debtor had sent his daughter to answer the summons, and she handed the judge a letter, which stated that he (Evans) was out of work land could not possibly pay. He and his family were living o dry bread. His Honour was about to adjourn the case, when Mr. W. R. Morgan produced t certificate proving that defendant was em- ployed by a builder and earning 24s. s week. Addressing the daughter, the judge said, "You almost make me angry you know. This man writes a letter to say he is not working and living on dry bread, whereas he is in regular em ploymen t and earning 24s. a week. Judgment for plaintiff." WIDOW'S APPLICATION. Mrs. Sarah Lewis, widow, Penrhiw- ceiber, applied for a lump sum of £10 out of the compensation money awarded her on the death of her husband. She had been awarded < £ 250, and had received in weekly instalments j690. The application was granted. WILTSHIRE v. GORSEDD COMMITTEE. When the above case was called, Mr. Grwilym Jones, Mountain Ash, said that it had been settled. He spoke on behalf )f plaintiff and defendants. Mrs. Wilt- shire, the plaintiff, had accepted <86 10s., which had been paid into court by de- fendants. t WIDOW'S WEEDS AND WHAT THEY COST. Judge's Strictures. Mrs. Jones, a widow, of Porth-street, Porth, was sued by W. Lloyd and Co., Irapers, Mountain Ash, for tll 4s. 9d. Mr. W. Griffiths, Mountain Ash, who represented plaintiffs, said that part of he debt had been contracted prior to her husband's death two years ago. That icrtion amounted to E3 17s. 7d. When ler husband died, she bought over 1?30 vorth of mourning, and there wis a )alance due on that purchase. Wm. Lloyd, the plaintiff, related the 'ircumstances under which the mourn- ng was bought. Mrs. Jones had ordered ;he goods, but before he supplied then he :alled upon her. He asked "How are you roing to pay for the goods; you see, Mrs. i ones, I can't bury everybody." His Honour: What an extraordilllry )hrase to use. Would you like to biry sverybody ? (Laughter.) Witness: No. Mr. W. Griffiths: You meant tha" you :ould not supply this mourning gratis?— fes. Witness went on to say that defendant's ions had promised to pay some of the noney, and Mrs. Jones had told him that he- would receive X20 on an L.E.G. In- iurance policy. Cross-examined by Mr. Wayne Morgan, .D-ontypridd, who defended, witness stated hat the daughters had called at his es- tablishment to be measured for their :ostumes. Altogether, the mourning cost 631 odd. Defendant was called, and she deposed hat the insurance money was only < £ 14. tfr. Lloyd had been unable to execute he mourning in time, and he had given ler the loan of some articles of clothing. His Honour: Did you order mourning mounting to < £ 30?—Yes. His Honour: You must be prettey well iff to do such a thing. Defendant: I have buried my father His Honour: So have I, but I did not md my mother, sir, and un into debt, and spend a lot of money ust to have grand clothes to attend the uneral. Defendant: I never wore them, sir. Che clothes are there now. His Honour: What is the use of paying 11 that money for clothes and not wear- ng them afterwards. Mr. Griffiths mentioned that one article -a cloak or -,L jacket—cost £12. His Honour: It is scandalous the way ome of you women spend money on tiourning. You swagger about in fine lothes, for which you cannot pay. Judgment was given for plaintiff on he amount incurred after defendant's uisband's death, and also, for the JB3 17s. d. provided that the estate of the hus- .and at the time of his death realised hat sum. ADMINISTRATION ORDERS. John Hoskins', a roadman employed at he Penrhiwceiber Colliery, applied for an dmillishation order. He said he was narried and had one child. He earned s. a day. Judge: What do you owe altogether?— Somewhere between < £ 20 and £ 3u. Judge: I suppose that £10 or so, makes ery little difference to a man like you. ieally, you are very trying. Speaking or myself, I look twice at a Qlo note fhen I get one. It isn't often I see one. Laughter.) Applicant: The amount is close on £30, ir. "he order was granted. Mr. W. R. Morgan (for Mr. J. D. Thomas, Aberdare), applied for adminis- rations on behalf of Wm. Henry Bu?h, a, Mount Pleasant-street, Miskin, and albert Hopkins, 36a, Park-terrace, Pen- hiwceiber.
