Morgan, etc. TRINITY.—Last Sunday evening-it being Communion) Sunday—the Rev. J. Lewis Jenkins, pastor of Trinity Church, addressed a very fervid and eloquent dis- course to a large congregation. He took his text from Lamentations i., 12, "Is it nothing to you, all ye that pass by? Be- hold and see if there be any sorrow like unto my sorrow." The subject of Mr. Jenkins' sermon was "The sufferings of Christ." In the course of his sermon the preacher emphasised the truth that the cross of Christ was a central fact in the history of the world. Even nature regis- tc-i ed its protest • when the Son of Man was subjected to shame and suffering. Christ was on bood terms with the earth and it was not strange that it trembled when it received his innocent blood. It was prettily remarked that the earth never gave its iron to forge nails for the limbs of the Saviour, and that it never grew its thorns to press His sacred brow. To realise the intensity of the sufferings of Christ one must consider that he died of a broken heart, and one should listen to his dying cry, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me!" It was not the fear of death that evoked the Saviour's agonising cry, but the realisation of the fact that he was isolated from God. "Without God!" Words glibly spoken, but no sceptic in Aberdare could fully realise what it was to be without God. WEDDING. At C-mlfaria Baptist Chapel, Monk-street, a pretty wedding was solemnised on Saturday, the officiat- ing minister being Rev. Wm. Thomas, Nebo (B.), Cwmdare. The contracting parties were Mies Ma,rtha Evans, daugh- ter of Mr. and Mrs. Rowland Evans, 71, Bwllfa-road, Cwmdare, and Mr. John Price, second son of Mr. and Mrs. Wat kin Price, Gladstone-street, Aberaman. The bride was beautifully attired in helio- tiope costume with hat to match, the bridesmaids being Miss S. A. Price (sister of bridegroom) and Miss C. E. Davies, Bwllfa-road, Cwmdare. Mr W. W. Price, Park Schools (brother of bridegroom), acted as best man). Amongst others present at the ceremony and reception: at bride's mother's house were: Misses Lizzie Davies (Park Schools), and M. Hopkins (Neath), Messrs. Rowland Evans (father of bride), Watkin Price (father of bridegroom), David T. Price (brother of bridegroom), Edward Davies (Cwmdare), Albert Evans (Pontypridd Collegiate School), J. Jones (Cardiff Uni- versity), and Master Wm. Ivor Price. The happy couple were the recipients of numerous and costly presents. ST. ELVAN'S CHURCH.—On Whit- Sunday there were celebrations of the Holy Communion at 6, 7, 8.30, and 11 (chorail). The sermon was preached by the Rev. W. H. Jones, B.A. At 2.30 there was a children's service. The Vicar oc- cupied the pulpit. At the evening ser- vice the Rev. H. R. Johnson, M.A., preached the sermon. The music throughout the day was of high order, including Gounod's Communion Service, "Come, Holy Ghost" (Attwood), and Ben- nett's "God is a spirit." There were at i each service processions of clergy and choir. Mr. J. Williams presided at the organ. In the course of his sermon Mr. Johnson, referring to Whitsun, said that every church festival was to be valued. The festival of Whitsun brought to them j real comfort, reail joy, if they had been striving to serve the Master. It also taught them the Ünmanlence of God. They would do well! to strive to, cultivate friendship, to be increasingly sympath- etio and tender. At the same time they should endeavour to keep their hold on the truth handed down to them. They should never speak with disrespect of those who differed from them on religious matters, but be silent rather than say or do anything uncharitable. There were many things regarding which they could co-operate. He remembered well some stubborn Churchmen being annoyed be- cause ho onsce spoke at a Dissenting Chapel. A letter which had been signed by the two Archbishops and also by several leading Dissenting ministers, was read by the preacher. It called upon all ChrisrtianSl to pray for unity. They ought to strive to promote more unity be- tween the sadly divided followers of Jesus Christ. There were many Church- men who thought they were bringing; about that re-union when they said, "Come with me to Church to-night, and I will go with you to chapel again. I'll sacrifice my convictions, to you this Sun- day on) oondiitionr that you will reciprocate next Sunday." That was a great mis- take.

The committee wish to tender their thanks to the ladies who worked so industriously at the tea tables. NODDFA, GODREAMAN. Whatever differences of opinion may exist as to the advisability or otherwise of changing the name of Godreaman, the inhabitants of the district are of one mind that it was an excellent idea to change the place of holding the children's Cymanfa of Moriah Aman and Noddfa to Noddfa. We do not recollect attending more orderly children's services for many years. The singing was characterised by sv. eetness and, precision. Mr. Rees Thomas, Owmaman, the con- ductor, surely is an (rxpert at getting the best out of the children. Mr. Roger Williams, Godreaman, conducted a por- tion of the evening servioe, and gave pro- mise of a successful conductor in the very near future. The programme included compositions by local musicians, viz., Mr. Thomas Thomas, G.T.S.C., late of Gwalia Stores, Cwmaman, and Miss Rona Davies, Spring- hill Villa, Cwmaman, who bids fair to become a very successful musical author- ess. The meetings were addressed by the Rev. J. T. Rhys, Bethany; Rev. J. H. Thomas, and Mr. T. Thomas, G.T.S.C. The organists were Messrs. E. Lewis, Cwmaman, and Willie Jones, Noddfa.

A Miserable June. Strangely Weak and Depressed, Dizzy and Faint after Exertion, Caused by Advanced Anaemia. Found New Health & High Spirits ift: Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. "Last June I began to feel very weak and terribly depressed; I could, in fact, scarcely get about," said Mrs. E. Alibone, of Cross-stieet, Moulton, Northampton- shire. "The slightest exertion made me breathless and faint, and I could niot understand the cause of these troubles until a medical man told me they all arose from obstinate anaemia-a, form of bloodlessness very difficult to cure. "Though I was very ill, I did net suffer actual pain, but felt terribly listless and tired, yet unable to rest. Dizzy fits made me feel as though I would fall suddenly; after a short, walk I would have to stop, feeling shaky, and trembling all over. lo go upa few stairs remit red me helpless, for I had to pause every few steps for breath. In a little time I could scarcely walk at all, much less look after the house or my six chil- dren. J "There was no doubt my state of health was serious. At the Northampton Hospital I had excellent treatment for months, but seemed to get no better. I lost hope, and quite be- lieved I would never be well again. It was very distressing to my husband to see me falling into such a depressed terribly wea.k state. But no medical treatment seemed to rouse me. "Then I took the advice of some fiiends, who insisted that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People would effect cures when, other medicines had failed. I sent to Northampton for a box, and am thankful that I did so. It is entirely owing to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills that I am well to-day. Before long health and stiength returned to me; I lost the dizzy f,.ts, and could take walks again without feeling faint. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills made me better, brighter and stronger than ever I was." The misery of never feeling really well and strong, endured by so many girls and women, is the result of anaemia. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills give health, and restore strength and high spirits by mak- ing Good, Red Blood in abundance.

Boxing Tournament at Aber'dare. On Whit-Monday last a very successful series of boxing contests, etc., were given at the Market Hall before a large crowd. The arrangements were in the hands of Prof. Joe Smith. The first contest was the 9st 6lbs championship of four rounds for the "Mirror of Life" belt. In the first bout Fred Brett, of Cwmbach, was defeated by Kid Edwards, of America, who claimed his victory in the second round. In the bout between Charlie Jones, Cardiff, and J. Fitzpatrick, the honours were even. The next contest was that between "Driver' Hill, late of the Royal Fiel<\ Artillery, Poplar, and Tim Healy, of Australia, when Hill was declared the winner on points alone. The next bout was the event of the evening, viz., Johnny Owen, Aberaman, v. Pat Kelly, Ireland. Owen was easily the best man. The final bout for the belt was ad- journed owing to the illness of Oxley. Therefore a bout was fought instead be- tween Mike Dolan, Swansea, and Jem Hicks, of London. The referee after- wards awarded the belt to Johnny Owen, the local man, who was considered to be the best all-round boxer in the Tourna- ment. A wrestling contest was. next fcught between Charlie Thomas, of New- port, and Bartolini, of Italy. The first bout was in favour of the Italiar, but Thomas was declared the winner of the second bout. Mr. Harry Wheeler, of Cardiff, again officiated as referee, whilst Sergt. Connolly acted as timekeeper.
