Nodion. Y mae Wesleyaid Llandyssul wedi bod yn dathlu canmlwyddiant eu ha.chos yn y lie. I bregetku ar yr achlysur cafwyd yr hen wron—y Parch, Hugh. Hughes, a'r Parch. Evan Isaac. Nid yn unig i wvr rheilffordd Prydain y Cymru weai rhoddi arweinydd, ond hefyd i ddynion y ffordd haiarn yn yr India. Dywedir fod arweinydd y streic ddiweddar yno yn filwr, yn ddir- westwr, ac yn Gymro. Ymffrostia yn yr enw gwir Gymreigaidd "Engleken." Yn nghwrdd cadeirio Myfyr Brychan yn Hirwain nos Iau, yr oedd byddin o feirdd o bob parbh—o Gymau y Nedd a'r Cynon, o Gomin Hirwain ao uchelfeydd Pemderyn a Ehigoe, ao o dueddau Mer- thyr draw. Ac yr oedd yno brydydda di- derfyn i arwr y gadair—pawb a i ben'11 yn ei gwrs. Yr oedd anerchiadau y beirdd fel y rhelyw o synyrch barddas- rhai gwael, rhai gweddol, rhai gwell, ac yr oedd amryw o honynt yn wir dda. Gresyn fod llawer o honynt mor hir a'r amser mor fyr. Afradwyd cryn dipyn o amser y cyfarfod gyda phethau di- berthynas oe nad anaddas. Er engraifft, rod add as ydoedd canu can leddf ar lan Iorddonen ddofn pan yr oeddis yn dathlu buddugoliaeth lawen ar lan Senni. I ba Ie y ffodd udganwr y corn gwlad? Er hyny yr oedd yn gyfarfod brwd a hwyliog. Da oedd g we led a chlywed y delyn—"eurllaas gorph yn arllwys gwawd." Lion oedd gweled cynifer o blant awengar a llengar Brychan a Mor- ganwg yn dod a'u teyrngedau i Fyfyr Brychan. Rhwydd hynt iddo i gaol llawer o goed deri gwlad y Derwydd i addurno ei fwthyn. Dywed Dr. Alex Hill fod y Cymry yn analluog i'w ddilyn pan yn gwrando ei areithiau Soesneg ar bynciau gwyddonol. 0'1' ochr arall dywed Dr. Andrew Wilson ei fod ef wedi cael profiad gwahanol o gynulliadau yn Nghymru. Bu yn dar- lithio yn y Porth ychydig amser yn flaen- crol i wrandawyr aatud a deallgar iawn. Nid yw doctoriaid athroniaeth yn was- tad yn gytun mwy na doctoriaid ffisygwr- j iaeth, ond credwn fod Dr. Hill a Dr. Wilson yn iawn y tro hwn. Bu y di- weddaf yn areithio yn y Porth, lie y trig y Cymro dwy-ieithog, tra y bu y Hall yn anerch cyrddau yn Ffestiniog a Phwll- heli, lie y byddai corph ei wrandawyr yn Gymru uniaith—o'r hyn leiaf yr oeddynt yn Gymry wedi arfer siarad, darllen, a meddwl yn Gymraeg. Os ydyw Dr. Hill yn cyfyngu ei sylwadau i "Welsh-speak- ing Wales," fel y deallwn ei fod, yna y mae gwir yn yr hyn a ddywed. Fel y gwyddis, y mae rhanau o Gymru lawer yn fwy Cymredgaidd na rhanau ereill. Y mae chwarelwyr Meirion ac Arfon yn well Cymry na glowyr y De, ond nid ydynt yn gystal Saeson. Cato ni, y fath genedl groendeneu ydym! Dywedodd Mr. W. Jenkyn Thomaa, diweddar o Aberdar, rywbeth am yr acen Gymraeg, a byth er hyny y mae yn ei chael hi yn ddychrynllyd. I wneyd tegwch a Mr. Thomas, nid ydym yn credu ddarfod iddo gollfarnu yr acen Gymraeg na dweyd dim yn gas am dani. Deallwn iddo ddweyd fod ei acen Gym- raeg yn rhwystr i'r Cymro sydd yn ym- gaie at berffeithrwydd mewn cynanu ieithoedd tramor, a diau fod hyny yn ffaith. Nid felly y dylai fod, mae yn wir, ond fel hyny y mae. Ddydd Iau diweddaf darfu i'r Clwb Cymreig yn Llundain anrhydeddu Pen- cerdd Gwalia, yr hwn sydd erbyn hyn wedi gweled 82 o flwyddi. Yr oedd y Pen- oerdd yn bresenol, a rhoddodd ganiad ar ei hoff delyn. Nid anghofia deheulaw y pencerdd ganu er llesgau o honi gan henaint. Yr oedd y Cynghorwr L. N. Williams (Ap Carw Cooh), Aberdar, yn bresenol yn y ciniaw a roddwyd er parch i'r telynwr urddasol.

0 Bwlpud Noddfa. Un o'r pregethwyr yn nghyfarfod sefydlu y Parch. D. Hopkins fel gwein- idog eglwys Fedyddiol y Noddfa, Tre- cynon, ydoedd y Parch. Aaron Morgan, Blaenffos, Sir Benfro. Un o fechgyn y Khondda ydyw y gwr parchedig, a chyn cymeryd y ffon bugeiliol yn ei law bu yn tori glo. Y mae "Aaron" nid yn unig yn fardd peraidd, ond yn humourist gwyoh.

Miss Bennett Cured Anaemia banished by lton-Ox Tablets The following communication from Miss Bennett, of Abbots Langley, Herts, should be carefully read by every man and woman who suffers from ansemia. Miss Bennett has just been cured by Iron-Ox Tablets. Her case was a serious one, her sufferings were very great, but Iron-Ox Tablets have made her com- pletely well. -V'4' Miss A. BENNETT. I Garden Road, Abbots Langley, Herts. Fox some time I have been suffering, but I did not go to a doctor. When I did he told me I was suffering from anaemia and ohronic indigestion, he gave me medicine but it did not relieve me. I tried other medicines with the same rasult. At last I thought I would try Iron-Ox Tablets and I am pleased to say I have found relief I can now go about without fear, as I used to have dizzy attacks and could not walk very far with- out falling down. I used to be quite exhausted and also suffered from mental dulness snd headaches. Sometimes I have thought I should go mad with pain. Now I cannot praise Iron-Ox Tablets enough. I am still taking them and shall never be without them. (Signed) MISS BENNETT. Iron-Ox Tablets cured Miss Bennett of ansemia because they contain iron in a form which the system can easily assimi. late. This enriched her blood and helped to make the red corpuscles which give strength and vigour. Iron-Ox Tablets cured her indigestion because they strengthened the digestive organs and caused a proper flow of the digestive juices. The consequence is that Miss Bennett is as strong and well to-day as any woman could wish to be. When her indigestion was cured, the dizzintss of which she complained disappeared. Now she has a good appetite. She digests her food easily and naturally. The colour has retarned to her cheeks. The headaches, pains, and mental dul- ness have disappeared. Do you grasp the moral ?

WELL-KNOWN EVANGELIST strongly recommends Veno's Lightning Cough Cure. The following letter from Evangelist Geo, Fear, the well-known and popular Author, Editor and Christian worker should assuredly prove of vital interest and importance to many.

Hay, sought an order to eject David Davies, Elizabeth-street, Abardare.—Granted. ROW IN DOWLAIS. Thomas Price j was charged with being drunk, refusing to quit the Britannia Inn, Dowlais, and assaulting P.O. Williams. He was fined 20s. and costs for drunkenness and re- fusing to quit, and 40s. and costs for the assault. ALL ABOUT A BASIN OF SOUP. George Hill, Gadlys, was charged with being drunk in High-street, Aberdare.— P.C,. Ll. Evans gave evidence.—Defend- ant was also charged with assaulting Frederick Tree, for whom Mr W. Thomas appeared.—F. Tree, 12, High-street, said that on Saturday defendant came to his house, and asked for a pennyworth of soup, which was supplied to him. He demanded change out of two half-pennies which he had tendered. Then he threat- ened to bash complainant's mother, and actually struck complainant and knocked a tooth out.—Defendant held that a H navvy bloke" came in and knocked down his soup basin, and when asked for compensating payment, gave him a blow instead. Complainant's mother jumped at him like a dog.—Mrs. Tree deposed that defendant kept de- manding the change which was not due to him. When he threatened to bash her head her son came to her aid. Defend- ant had to be dragged out. It was not true that she was drunk as alleged by defendant.—Defendant had to pay 10s. and costs for drunkenness, and £ 3 and costs for the assault, or one month. SHOCKING CHILD NEGLECT. John Evans and Janet Mary Bowen were charged with neglecting their child.— Mr. W. Thomas, who represented the N.S.P.C.C., stated that the defendants co- habited, and were unmarried.—Inspector J. Thomas, of the N.S.P.C.C., said that he visited defendants' house in 12, Bap- tist-place, Hirwain. The home consisted of only two rooms, one down and one up- stairs, and were very small. Defendants' child was merely skin and bone, was in a filthy condition, and had a very had arm. There was no furniture of any kind or any food in the house. In one place there WM a beer bottle. Asked what it con- tained, the male defendant said, It is lime water for the baby.Stipendiary: Did you taste it?—Inspector: No, but I smelt it. The beds were clothed with rags, and were saturated with urine. Dr. Walsh visited the place. Eventuallv the child was taken to the Infirmary, and the male defendant was arrested, inasmuch as it was believed that he would abscond. The child was almost too weak to make any noise. Defendant said that he had buried one baby. He had also cohabited with the mother of that baby The woman told witness that her own father allowed defendant to come to the house to cohabit with her.—Phoebe Cousins, 1, Aberdare-road, a cousin to the female de- fendant, said that the defendants would often stay in bed all day. One day the female defendant came to her trembling. She was hungry, and witness gave her some food.—Sergt. Davies, Hirwain, said that he accompanied Inspector Thomas to the house. The male defendant had once deserted the army, and had been ar- rested. He would never work.—Dr. Walsh, Hirwain, stated that he visited defend- ants' house. The baby was in an extreme- ly emaciated condition, and covered with sores, the result of neglect. The house was in a bad condition, so bad that it was impossible to rear a healthy child there.—Evans entered the witness-box and said that he could not attend to the baby and to his work. He was working as a haulier at C'wmdare. He earned 25s. a week, but subbed continually. —The mother testified that he never ueed to bring her any money.—Stipen- diary Then you did not sub to your wife.—The Stipendiary said that it was a most serious case. How a woman could live with a man of that kind was one of the mysteries of life. The man starved the wife and she starved the child. The man would have to go to prison for three months, aud the woman would go to the Ui'ion. KEDWARD v. KEDWARD. -On the application of Mr. W. R. Edwards, who appeared for Mrs. Kedward, this case was adjourned because one of her wit- nesses was absent. DRUNK. — John Evans, drunk and fighting, 40s. and costs; Phillip Lloyd and Dennis Casey, Cwmbach, and Rd. Evans, Aberdare, ,10s. and costs each.

TRY THIS RECIPE fop the simple cure of NERVE AND BODILY WEAK- NESS. Costs a mere trifle. The recipe from which Dr. Cassell's Tablets, the new remedy for all forms' of nerve and physical exhaustion, is made up, was a favourite one of a noted speci- alist. and the valuable medicine evolved therefrom has lately. been offered to the publie at the trifling cost of 10-id., at 2 which price any chemist will supply a box. Instantaneous success followed the production of these great Tablets, and now hundreds of cures of really seri- ous forms of nervous prostration, loss of flesh, anaemia, indigestion, weak kidneys, premature decay, and nerve and stomach troubles of all kinds, are being reported every week. As a thoroughly reliable, safe and effective household medicine for the jaded, weak and run-down, Dr. Gassell's Tablets are superior to any- thing else ever produced, and already this wonderful remedy is enshrined in thousands of homes as the new family doctor.

Church was held, when the Rev. Jesse Salt preached. In the morning he took as his text, "Then shall ye appoint you cities to be cities of refuge unto you," Numbers 35, 11. He remarked that in the history of the institution of the cities of refuge, there were some instructive points to be gleaned by those who were wrestling with the problem of the drink traffic to-day. The chief points noted were: Firstly, the national character of that institution. Secondly, the practical character of the institution was marked by the fact that everyone was given an opportunity of a fair hearing, the securi- ty of a real protection, and ultimately the liberty of a cleared character. Thirdly, the ethical principle of the institution was obvious in the sense of justice and humanity which led to the founding of cities. Lastly, the religious spirit in the administration of the institneion was guaranteed by the fact that the cities were in the possession of the Levitea. A review of the wastefulness, evil, and danger of the Drink Traffio then fol- lowed. Mr. Salt continued his discouse upon the same lines in the evening, when he took as his text, He shall flee unto one of these cities and live," Deut. 19, 5. He compared the cities of refuge with the Gospel of Christ, and showed the superiority of the Gospel as a refuge for drink-bound victims and for all. He closed his remarks with a strong appeal to everyone present to make the refuge effective for themselves by coming to Christ. The following resolution, drafted by the preacher, was put to the audience at each of the meetings, and practically the whole assembly showed its assent by rising;—"That the annual meetings of the Cwmaman P.M. Band of Hope, held on Sunday and Monday, urge the present Government to bring in a Temperance measure, embodying the time limit re- commended by Lord Peel's report-the re- form of licensing authority—an increase of licensing duties-the granting of in- creased powers to the licensing authori- ties with regard to the limitation of hours for the sale of intoxicants, provi- sion for Sunday closing throughout the United Kingdom, the closing of all licensed premises on election days, facili- ties for local option, abolition of grocers' licenses, and the regulation of clubs. We would respectfully remind the Govern- ment that to disappoint the strong and growing national sentiment of the coun- try in this matter would result in the scattering of the forces of progress, and greatly hinder social reform." A copy of the resolution is to be forwarded to the local M.P.'s and to the Premier.—On Sunday afternoon special recitations were delivered by the following' members of the Band of Hope: Master John B. Clark, The poor man and his beer Miss Hilda Case, The orphan's prayer Master Francis Crumb, The dying girl"; Miss Daisy Lewis, "I used to sing that song Master Alfred Penny, Only a child Misa Mabel Dodge, Little Emma"; Miss Elsie Tow, Earth's deliverer"; Miss Rhoda Cooke, Oh! mother's so gentle and tender," and Miss Elsie Thomas, Come, sign the pledge." An excellent dialogue was also given by the three following boys and girls: Masters George Henry Powell, John B. Clark, and Cecil Lanfear, and Misses Edith M. Perris, Elsie Burn- ll, and Hilda Case. A most enjoy- able afternoon was spent. On Mon- day the annual public tea was held, when a large number attended. The tray-holders and waiters were the follow- ing :—Mrs. D. T. Davies, Mifises C. Penny, M. J. Targett, M. Hughes, D. Lanfear, M. Wasley, M. M. Barrett, and A. Davies. The bread and butter cutters, etc., were: Mrs. D. R. Woodhams, Mrs. W. Cooke, Miss F. Oliver, and Mr. J. Hy. Durston; whilst the tea brewer was Mr. E. Barrett. After the tea a service of song followed, entitled, "From work- house to mansion," illustrated with lan- tern views. The chairman waa the Rev. Jesse Salt. The Rev. A. Watson, local circuit minister, acted as reader, whilst the conductor was Mr. W. Johns, and the organist Miss H. Wales. A vote of thanks was passed to the reader, con- ductor, organist, etc. The secretarial duties were performed by Mr. Richard James Targett and Miss Mary Hughes.

fa yn godro eu cynwys droe ei hysgwydd- au, Duw Abraham, Duw Isaac, a Duw Jacob. Dyn mawr ydoedd Abraham. Dyn pur ydoedd Isaac, yn byw bywyd gwastad, prosaic." Darfyddodd bardd- oniaeth ei fywyd yr adeg y daliwyd yr hwrdd hwnw mown dyrysni. Ond bach- gen yr ups and downs ydoedd Jacob —bachgen ydoedd yn ddigon drwg heb gad ei fam i'w helpu. Ond yr oedd Duw yn Dduw Jacob hefyd. Mae y prophwyd bychan weithiau yn gweled pethau na wel y prophwyd mawr. Gwelodd Hosea ddagrau Jacob yn Pen iel. Llithrodd Moses heibio iddynt yn Genesis heb eu gweled. Yn y lofa y mae y wythien ambell waith yn ymgolli yn yr hyn a elwir "fault." Yn nes yn mlaen daw i'r golwg drachefn yn ei grym cyntefig. Enoch a rodiodd gyda Duw." Dyna y "iiist ed'- tion o Daith y Pererin. Yn ei ddis- gynyddion, Methuselah a Lamech, aeth y wythien ddwyfol ar goll, ond yn Noah mab Lamech daeth i'r golwg eilwaith. Mwy dymunol ydyw gweled y wythien yn para yn ddifwlch. fel y ffydd dd'ffuant a drigai yn nhylwyth Timotheus o oenhedl- ae'th i genhedlaeth. Yr adnod a dd;ferodd dros wefusau "poet laureate" Israel pan ar lan yr afon a ffinia y ddeufyd ydoedd, H Ad- nebydd Dduw dy dad." Y berth yn llosgi ao heb ei difa" Mae etholedig Duw yn para heb eu dita. Ca y "wandering Jew n lawer o gystudJ. Heddyw mae yn y clef yd melyn, oud heb ei ddifa. Mae gair Duw, er gwaethaf pob ymosod, heb ei ddifa. Heddyw ca ei glwyfo yn nhy ei garedigion. Mae y dduwinyddiaeth newydd wedi ei glwyfo fwy nag a wnaeth yr hen anffydcliaeth. Ond bydd yn pregethu eto yu angladd y dduwinyddiaeth newydd. "Llythyr Crist ydych." Tybiai y rhai; a losgent y methyron eu bod yn gwneyd4 "stroke" ragorol. Ond beth oeddynt yn wneyd? Llosgi yr "envelopes" yn unig, tra Duw yn y nef'yn cael hwyl wrth ddarllen y llythyrau yn ngolea tan yr amleni.
