The Aberdare Leader

An Aberdare Woman Again. A thing may occur once, and we do act notice it; or twice, or thrice but when it happens again and again, and neighbours tell us of it, then we cannot overlook it any longer. With unfailing regularity neighbours come forward and gratefully tell us of their good fortune. It is good fortune for us to hear such en- couraging news. Mrs. E. Harris, 23, Hall-street, Aber- dare, sa,ys I had severe, cutting pains in my back for a long time—so bad were they at times that I found it hard to do my housework, because of the stooping about-it was agony for me to straighten myself. Dizziness also troubled me; my appetite was poor, and I was in a low way. "I began to use Doan's backache kidney pills and finding they were help- ing me, I kept on with them. 1 am glad to say the pills have made me feel like a different woman-I am now better in all ways. It is Doan's pills alone I have to thank for making me well again. —(Signed) ELIZABETH HARRIS."

The Social Democratic Federation has issued a manifesto, protesting against the Army scheme of Mr. Haldane, by which, they contend, he is "seeking- to militarise the youth of the nation." The manifesto urges that now is the time to demand a thorough reform of military organisation, the revising of military I 1 law, and the complete civilising of the military service. <

Preaching Service. SEION, ABERDARE. Last Sunday the friends worshipping at Seion Welsh Wesleyan Chapel, Aber- dare, held special services, the Rev. Hugh Hughes, the vigorous veteran preacher, officiating. In the morning and evening Mr. Hughes preached in his usual soul-stirring and impressive man- ner. On Sunday afternoon the Rev. J. Glyn Davies, C.M. minister, Newport, was the preacher. Mr. Davies took as his text Hebrews 2. 18 For in that He himself hath suffered, being tempted, I He is able to succour them that are I tempted." The great subject of this paragraph, remarked Mr. Davies, was i the incarnation—the incarnation of God necessary for the salvation of man. The writer looked at his subject from three different standpoints. Three men could adjudge the value of a house, the archi- tect, the builder, and the tenant. In some similar way the inspired writer Iregarded our salvation. In one sense it was a plan, a thought in the mind of God. God's plan was to lay hold of fallen man, lift him, and save him. For that great purpose the incarnation was necessary. In the second place our salvation was more than a mere plan. It was a plan carried out, the outgoing power of the right hand of God to make reconciliation for the sins of the people by redeeming them. Let us not be ashamed to say, I even in these days, that the blood of Christ was the means of our salvation. In the third place our salvation was even more than a plan carried out It was the agency of God "to succour them that are tempted." Salvation therefore was to save, to redeem and to help. The message of the text was "Jesus is with us in our temptations and trials every day." We have a Saviour, (1)—one who was tempted (2)-one who suffered; 3)-one who is able to succour. On Sunday morning and evening Mr. Davies preached with great effect to large congregations at Trinity C.M. chapel.

Bryn Seion, Trecynon. PREGETH CAN Y PARCH. J. T. JOB, Efe a wna yr ystorm yn dawel, a'i thonau a ostegant. Yna y llawenhant am eu gostegu, ac efe a'u dwg i'r porth- ladd a ddymunent" (Salm 107, 29-30). Dyna. destyn pregeth y Parch. J. T. Job, Carneddi, yn addoldy Bryn Seion, Trecynon, bore Sul diweddaf. Dywedai y pregethwr mai diolchgarwch am fen- dithion tymhorol oedd yn y geiriau yn wreiddiol, ond i'r glust oedd wedi ei hen- waedu gan yr Ysbryd Glan yr oedd swn j iachawdwriaeth yn mhob tro i olwynion j lhagluniaeth. A ydoedd y byd yma dan ein traedP Yr oedd lie i ofni fod rhanau mawr o hono yn ein caloiiau. Yr oedd y testyn yn atebiad i weddi daer y mor deithiwr. Yr oedd geiriau y testyn yn ddameg o fywyd yr enaid. Pa uwchaf y bywyd, mwyaf anhawdd ydyw y pro- blem" o fyw. Yr oedd bywyd y dyn yn anhraethol fwy o odyrysbwnc na bywyd y milvn. Daw pob dyn i'r byd ag eti- feddiaeth o afiechyd ysbrydol gyelag ef. Trueni ein bod mor chwanog i gau Duw all an byd. Yr oedd y ffwl a ddywedai yn ei galon nad oedd 1111 Duw yn ffolach na'r pysg'odyn a wadai fodolaeth y dwfr yn yr hwn y nofiai. Yr oedd y dyn oedd wedi deffrc i ymwybyddiaeth o Dduw yn gweled ei weithredoedd yn y dyfnder. Mewn byd mor lawn o ryfeddodau, mor druenus ydoedd gweled dyn heb wynder yn ei lygaid—llygad llo—yn tremio ar ryfeddau creadigasth Duw heb weled dim ynddynt! Hwy a esgynant iJr nefoedd, disgynant i'r dyfncler," dyna "gurve" barddonol o eiddo Duw! Tyrchu gwraidd yr hen eigion nes ei chwalu yn deilchion man! Rhaid wrth ystormydd.

Yr oedd y mellt yn diffodd yn y gwaed, y tonau yn marw o un i un, a gwylanod tangnefedd yn dis- gvn ar dawelfcr bywyd. I ddefnyddio cymhariaeth y Parch. Evan Phillips, Castellnewydd, Y wheel fach i lawr yma a'r wheel faivr i fyny yn troi gyda'r I un strap/' Dyna ddesgrifiad prydferth o dawelwch ysbrydol ydoedd, "Alewi llawenydd v tynweh ddwfr o ffynhonau iachavidwriàeth." Yr oedd mwy o ganu o amgylch Ffynon Calfaria heddyw nag er ioed. Bu amgylchoedd Calfaria yn ddigon digan unwaith. Pan oedd y C'eid- ddigon digan unwaith.

Prydderch, yr hwn, fel v gwyddis, svdd yn un o oreugwyr y pwl- rmd Methodistaidd. Yr oedd y Parch. Tohn Morgan, gweinidcg parchus a phoblogaidd yr eglwys, yn bresenol yn y lyfarfodydd, y rhai oeddynt yn neillduol a o liwyliog a 11awn arddeliad ysbrydol.

Gwili yn Abernant. CYRDDAU PREGETHU BETHEL. Eabbi, pa brycl y daethost ti yma?" ydoedd testyn Gwili yn Bethel, Abernant, nos Sul. Nid aeth Crist erioed yn ys- glyfaeth i'r dorf, nieddai y pregethwr. Daliodd ei wyneb yn erbyn llifeiriant poblogrwydd. Canlynid ef gan dyrfa oedd yn meddwl mwy am angen dym- horol nag am deyrnas Dduw. Nid dod i'r byd i wneyd disgyblion y torthau wnaeth Crist. Yr oedd digon o'r rhai hyny yn y byd yn barod. Daeth lesu i'r byd i wneyd dynion Duw. Nid amcan- odd ef i brynu y byd a bara. Nid drwy erchi i'r ceryg i fod yn fara y cyflawnodd ef ei waith. Ddoe yr oedd lesu yn yr anial yn porthi y miloead. Heddyw y ma8 yn Capernaum. Nid pregeth y bara sydd ganddo heddyw, ond pregeth ar bre- geth y bara. Mae mwy o atdyniad 0 hvd yn efengyl y bara nag yn mara'r efengyl. Ni fuasai byth absenoldeb cynulliad mawr yn Abernant ar fore Sul pe rlienid bara a physgod yn y cyfarfod. Sylwcdd y pregethwr yn gyntaf fod Crist yn fwy na Christ y ddoe. Nid yw lesu am wneyd gwyrth heddyw. Nid oedd ei waith yn porthi y bobl a bara ond dameg i ddangos y gwir fara o'i, nef Myfi yw bara y bywyd," meddai Crist. Y mae Crist yn para yn fwy heddyw na Christ y ddoe. Na charnddealler fi," meddai Gwili, "nid duwinyddiaeth new- j ydd ydyw hon." Y mae Crist o hyd yn myned yn mlaen i Galilea datguddiad newydd a chyflawnach 0 hono ei hun. Mae mynydd yn Galilea- yn disgwyl pob dyn. Mae Crist heddyw yn fwy na Christ y ddoe, am fod y canlynwr heddyw yn fwy na chanlynwr y ddoe. Yn hanes y byd crefyddol y mae Crist yn rhagorach na Christ y ddoe. Dysgodd Crist egwyddorion a dreiddiasant dan v/raidd Ehufain bechadurus. Heddyw perchir a haner addolir miliwnwyr. Mewn rhai blynyddoedd eto ystyrir y sawl a fydd farw gan adael miliynau ar ei ol yn dros- eddwr yn erbyn cymdeithas. "Ring in the Christ that is to he," meddai Tenny- son. Mae yn fwy na'r Crist a- fu. Yn ail, y mae Crist yn fwy na Christ y dyrfa. Dymunol oedd ei weled ar adeg yr wyl yn ymdaith yn ogoneddus i Jeru- salem, ond dymunolach oedd ei weled dan yr Olewydd yn datguddio ei gyfrinachau i'w gyfeillion agos. Ryw unwaith neu ddwy yn y flwyddyn y mae y dyrfa yn cael cwrdd mawr, ond y mae y rhai sydd yn ai-os yn Nhy yr Arglwydd y nos yn cael cyrddau mawr ganwaith yn y flwyddyn Yn drydydd, y mae Crist yn fwy na Christ y mynydd. Yr oedd efe yn Grist y ddinas yn ogystal a. Christ y mynydd. Ni lefarodd dyn erioed fel y dyn hwn. Paham ? Darfu iddo rwymo mynydd Duw a dinas dyn a'u gilydd. Camsyn- iad mawr y bywyd mynachaidd oedd ceisio byw yn hollol i Dduw a'r. mynydd, ac esgeiiluso dyn a'r ddinas. Ond tuedd y dyddiau presenol ydoedd rhoddi gior- mod o sylw i'r dyn a'r ddinas ac esgeii- luso Duw a'¡j mynydd. Pregethwyd hefyd yn ystod yr wyl gan y Parch. T. Humphreys, Blaenliechau. Cafwyd cynulliadau mawrion, a chyfar- fodydd gwlithog yn ystod y ddau ddydd. Llywyddid y cyfarfodydd gan y Parch. J. Mills, gweinidog.

The New Theology. LECTURE AT ABERDARE. Rev. Joseph Wood, M.A., Birmingham, delivered a sermon at Highland Place Church, Aberdare, on Friday evening on "The New Theology and the Old Re- ligion." There was a large congregation notwithstanding the boisterous weather. The rev. gentleman based His discourse on the verse, "There is nothing new under the sun." It was true, he said, that the world was new to all new oomers. Between the great boundary wall of birth and 'death, nothing hap-! pened exactly the same to-day as yester- day. In that sense everything under the sun was new, and so he would not quar- rel with the phrase, The New Theolo- gy." But as a matter of fact it was as old as Christianity itself. It was what some of them had foeen preaching all their lives. Some of Christ's command- ments were as old as the Mosaic Law. But as Christ uttered them and inter- preted them, they became absolutely new to those who heard them. In the pres- ent time he believed they were passing through a period of a revelation of re- ligion, more startling than any in the history of Protestantism. The change was more radical' than any which Christendom could recall. But it had its roots in the past. What was called the New Theology was not a recent move- ment, but a slow outer growth of the moral and intellectual and religious life of centuries. Science, history, liter- ature, art, ethics, politics, political changes, were all contributing elements to that new and larger interpretation of religion which was a most distinct fea- ture of this age. Few people believed that any great change had passed over religious thought during the last 100 years. There were some who believed that nothing had happened since the birth of Christ. But he believed the new revelation was dealing with vaster issues and greater problems than those that confronted Martin Luther. The old statements of belief could no longer be adequate. The change was going on in every Church in Christendom. The old dogmas were giving way—Virgin Birth, Bodily Resurrection, Atonement, Origin- al Sin, Salvation by Blood. The lecturer then proceeded to deal with two recently published works—Rev. R. J. Campbell's "The New Theology," and Sir Oliver Lodge's Substance of Faith." In conclusion, Mr. Wood said he felt bound to raise his most earnest protest against Bishop Go-re's monstrous assertion that Jesus was either God or not a good man. It was an impossible imagination. There had been thousands of loyal, loving, devoted disciples of Christ, who could not speak of him as God. Men, the equals of any of the saints, and scholars and dignitaries of the Church, whether for learning or beauty of character, or Christlike sacri- fice of self, had not hesitated to call him Lord and Master, who could not assent to the doctrine of his Deity.

a The Prodigal Son. 99 t PERFORMANCE BY THE ABERNANT ¡ CHOIR. O- Thursday, at the Aberdare Market the Abernant United Choir, con- d'u fed by Mr. John Thomas, gave an ex- c?i: üt performance of the sacred dra- auMic cantata, "The Prodigal Son" (T. Price), in full character. Mr. Dan Jones discharged the duties of stage manager, while Miss Letty Jones and Mr. Tom Thomas accompanied. The characters as follows:- Prodigal Son, Mr. G. T. Llewelyn, L.T.S.C., Port Talbot. Elder Son and Carouser, Eos Wenallt, Aberdare. Father, Mr. David Landeg, Aberdare. Seer, Mr. D. Arthur Jones, Abernant. Servant, Mr. Gwilym Parry, Aberdare. 1st Maiden, Mrs. Catherine Darby, Abernant. 2nd Maiden, Miss Cassie Eyrion, Aber- dare. Servants, Labourers, etc., The Choir. The cantata is based on the Parable of The Prodigal Son. In-the first Act we are shown the prodigal's home. The servants and workers prepare for the day's labour. The younger son makes the demand, My father, give me the portion," and ultimately he bids fare- well to his home despite the entreaties and the tears of his father and the "sweet maidens." Scene 1. in the Second Act depicts the wandering son in the far country. He meets with jolly company. « I am weary," he says. "Come abide with us," they reply in chorus. In the second scene a debauch at an inn is pictured, and the gladsome strain" of a Bacchanalian Chorus is heard. In the third Act we hear the re- pentant prodigal soliloquising in the fields. H I am hungry" is his pitiful wail. The Good Spirits entreat him to return home, and the Evil Spirits invite him, "Remain thou." Ultimately with a sublime effort he breaks the bands of indecision and says determinedly, I will return." In Act IV. the Prodigal's return, the consequent rejoicing and the grumbling of the elder son is graphic- ally and beautifully described. The drama ends with a powerful chorus, The Lord is our defender." On the work of the choir and artistes our only comment is unstinted praise. Mr. G. T. Llewelyn, who is a far-famed vocalist, and the local artistes, played their parts to perfection, and the choir's sublime rendering showed clear signs of persevering diligence in training and a good grasp of the theme of the drama, by both conductor and choir. Also the energetic committee, and especially their excellent secretary, Mr. Josiah Richards -the 'right man in the right place—de- serve congratulation. The stage cos- tumes were elegant, and it is worthy of note that they were nearly all the handi- work of the lady members of the choir. Judging by the very large crowd present we can safely state that the funds of Bethesda Congregational Church, Aber- nant, have been considerably augmented through this exquisite performance.

Bpitannlc Assurance Co. At the annual general meeting of the above company recently held at Bir- mingham. the Chairman, Mr. Fredk. T. Jefferson, presented the report for the year ending December 31st, 1906. After another successful year's work the ac- counts show a net increase of £ 211,949. the accumulated funds amounting to the substantial sum of £ 1,776,755. The premium income amounted to no less a figure than £ 1,047,330, showing an in- crease of £ 64,229, and the amount of the total income is el,121,41,5, the increase for the year being £ 73,498. As a result of the annual valuation made by Mr. T. G. Acland, F.I A., the consult- ing actuary, after applying the sum of £ 92,000 in further strengthening the basis of the valuation in both branches, the net surplus of C39,694 is disclosed, and acting on his advice the Directors are enabled to declare the sum of £ 20,200 divisible amongst the participa- ting policy-holders and shareholders. This will enable the Directors to allot a reversionary bonus of 30s. per cent. for the year to all policy-holders participat- ing in the immediate-profit class and in- cludes adequate provisions for policy- holders in the accumulated-profit classes. The total amount paid in claims during the year amounted to C492,096, includ- ing kll7,899 paid under maturing en- dowment and endowment assurance policies. The total amount paid by the company to its assurants up to the 31st December, 1906, was £ 5,276,800, and the total number of new policies issued was 515,821, at a yearly premium of £ 349,724. In the face of these most satisfactory figures, there is but one conclusion to come to in reference to the Britannic Assurance Company, viz., that the Directors are more than justified in congratulating the share and policy- holders on the successful conclusion of another year. This, of course, is simply a reflex of the past yetirs of prosperity and progress that the Britannic has always enjoyed, and brings the fact more forcibly home to everyone that for a sure and safe investment and as a medium f r saving money, the Britannic offers facilities, the advantages of which are indisputable.

From Nixon's to Ocean Colliery. MR. DANIEL EYNON'S DEATH. HIS ALLEGED PARTIALITY TO BAPTISTS. Mr Daniel Eynun, M.E., Ystrad, Ehon- dda, who passed away a few weeks ago at the ripe age of 74, spent several years at Messrs. Nixons' Mountain Ash Col- lieries between 1860 and 1870. He came to Mountain Ash when only 27 years of age, and it was here that he became ac- quainted with Mr. Morgan Joseph, a very capable mining engineer, and one of the first managers over the Ocean Coal Com- pany's Collieries at Treorky. Mr. Eynon gained much practical knowledge and ex- perience during the years he spent at Messrs. Nixon's Colliery. But when the late David Davies, Llandinam, sank col- lieries in the Rhondda, Mr. Eynon. with hundreds of other workmen, decided to try their luck in the new "El Dorado," and so thither they. removed. Mr. Mor- gan Joseph, the first manager of Park Colliery, Treorky, went there from Moan tain Ash; Mr. Daniel Eynon, his suc- cessor, had worked at Mountain Ash, and Mr. Wm. Llewelyn, senior overman, one of the most transparently honest and conscientious men that ever carried the "little" lamp, had also migrated from Aberpenhar. Somewhere in the 70's, a small fire or- curred at Park Colliery, and the late Mr Eynon, then manager, who was down the pit at the time, practically averted an explosion by a heroic effort, and a won- derful presence of mind. He did not come out of the ordeal unscathed, for one of his fingers was so terribly burnt that it had to be amputated. For this splen- did service, it was said that Mr. Davies, Llandinam, made a codicil in his will to the effect that Mr. Daniel Eynon should ever remain manager of one of his col- lieries. Mr. Eynon, who was a staunch Welsh Baptist, was known for some time as the "King of Cwmparc." But it was al- leged against him by some people that he was very partial at the colliery to workmen of his own denomination, and especially his own chapel (Bethel, Cwm- parc). It may seem strange, but the writer has excellent authority for stating that Mr. Eynon was actually reitiove(I from the Park Colliery simply and solely on representations made that he favoured Baptists, and that persons of other de- nominations did not receive fair treat- ment! It came about in this way. About 14 years ago, Dr. Cynddylan Jones, Cardiff, author of "Primeval Revelation," was preaching one Sunday at Park C.M. Chapel. Several members of that church approached him (at Rev. W. Lewis' re- sidence), and told him of Mr. Eynon's alleged partiality. Dr. Jones had ample opportunity of seeing Mr. Edward Davies (father of the present Mr. David Davies, M.P.), who, as is well known, was a great Calvinistic Methodist, and -so he was ap- prised of the grievance. Mr. Davies told Mr. W. Jenkins, J.P., Ystradfechan, the agent of the Ocean Collieries, who insti- tuted enquiries, and apparently found some ground for complaint. Mr. Eynon was asked to change places with "Mr. T. J. Williams, manager of the Eastern Colliery, Ystrad, but it is not believed that Mr. Jenkins ever told him the reason of his removal. It was this posi- tion that Mr. Eynon held when he died two or three weeks ago, and this inci- dent is now published for the first time. Mr. Williams remained manager of Park Colliery until 1902, when he came to Abernant Collieries, Aberdare, under Mr. Edward, Morgan. He resided at Moss House, Abernant, where he died 22L years agq.

The Deep Duffryn Fatal ity. INQUEST ON THE VICTIM. Mr. R. J. Rhys held an inquiry at the Mountain Ash Police Station concerning the death, of Patrick Aherne. Mr. W. Saint, His Majesty's Government In- spector of Mines, was present. Mr. W. S Davies, M.E., represented Messrs. Nixon's Navigation Colliery Co., and Mr W. Lamburn watched the proceedings on behalf of the parents.—John Aherne de- posed he was a brother of the deceased, who lived at 23, Albert-street, Miskin. His brother was 26 years of age, and single, and was employed as a contracv, labourer. He had worked at that pit 1'0,. two years.—Thomas Jones, collier at the Deep Duffryn Pit, gave ,evidence that de- ceased was unloading rubbish to stow in the gob at the time of the accident. Witness was about 10 to 15 yards dis- tance away when the fall occurred. A young man named Herbert David was working with deceased, and was also slightly hurt.—In answer to the Coroner the witness stated that some coal fell from the face, and knocked a post away, I and about an hour afterwards a large clod fell on deceased and killed him. A portion of the clod was resting on the coal which slipped out of the face. Wit- ness had not replaced the post discharged by the coal. He had sounded the roof, and thought it was all right after the first post was knocked away. There was plenty of timber had it been needed. He had had 17 years' experience in the pit. Replying to Mr. Saint, witness knew there were three breaks, but didn't think the one would run up so high to the clod. The distance between the two remaining posts after the discharge of the first would be 7 feet 6 inches, which witness was aware exceeded the average distance between the posts.—Herbert David, who was working with deceased at the time, deposed lie had been to din- ner, and only a half hour had elapsed when the fall came. Witness was caught by the leg close to the cog.-W. S. Davies produced plans of the working. The Coroner said the point of the case was that Jones should have put a post some- where to replace the one knocked out by the fall of coal. One life had been lost, and it was a great mercy there were not two.-The jury brought in a verdict of "Accidental death."
