The Na.ture of Man. "|
The Na.ture of Man. An edifying discourse was delivered at the Christadelphian Hall, Aberaman, on Sunday evening by Mr J. Pugh on the C, above subject. In referring to Genesis ii. 7, the speaker said the information given here was most definite regarding the nature of man. And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and man came a living soul." This passage harmonised with the New Testament teaching 1 Cor. xv. 47: The first man is of the earth earthy." Consequently any views contrary to this were directly in opposition to God's declaration. Further the speaker endeavoured to show how misleading the existing beliefs were generally in respect to the nature of man. It was unquestionably accepted that man from birth was in possession of the nature of God in the form of an immortal soul, and seeing that as far as the Bible was concerned this belief was a foreign platonic element, he stated that in its acceptance people were en- dorsing the words of the serpent when it said Thou shalt not surely die." Solomon who had received his wisdom from God declared plainly in Ecc. iii. 19 and 20 that man and beast as far as death was concerned were alike. All went into one place, the grave. In Ecc. ix. 5, he also made known to us the condition of the dead, when he stated that the living knew that they should die, but the dead know not anything, and this was the result of Adam's dis- obedience. Paul writing to the Romans (v. 12) said, Wherefore by one man sin entered into the world and death by sin and so death passed upon all men. for that all have sinned." If so be that man was formed and created immortal, the transgression of God's law could not result in death. Further God, who is immortal cannot be tempted, therefore those who are in possession of immor- tality cannot be tempted also, but man who is continually being tempted, when drawn away from his own lust and enticed, is evidence in himself of his mortality. On the other hand the word of God was conspicuous in its offers of life to perishing man. Romans vi. 23, said The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord," This gift of life could only be gained through Jesus Christ, hence the belief of a universal possession was an absurdity. Seeing the wages of sin was death, Jesus said he that believeth and is baptised shall be saved." The speaker hoped that all present would give heed to the teachings of God and comply with the commands by being baptised into Jesus Christ, for all in Christ should be made alive, and those only who accepted the invitation would escape the eternal unconscious death awaiting mortal man.

iSeion Baptist Church, Cwmaman.
Seion Baptist Church, Cwmaman. The above church have unanimously decided to present their minister, the Rev Thomas Humphreys, with an address as a token of their appreciation of his long and faithful pastoral service, viz., 40 years. He was ordained in August, 1868, and has won the con- fidence and affection of all who know him. He has been an ardent and energetic pastor despite ill-health, and is an original and powerful preacher. May God spare him to continue his good work for many years to come. During his pastorate he has fulfilled many an important office and has rendered valuable services to the locality in general. He was secretary of the Old British School until its passing into the hands of the Board School. He was instrumental in securing a sum of money by which the present Public Hall and Library was built. He was a mem- ber of the District Council for many years, and also chairman of the Science and Art Classes committee. Mr G Thomas, 131, Glan road, Cwmaman, is secretary of the testimonial committee, and Mr Gwilym Thomas, 26, Byron street, is treasurer.
The Aberaman Stoppage.
The Aberaman Stoppage. Regarding the above the following correspondence passed between Mr Stansfield and the Board of Trade. To the Right Hon. Winston Churchill, President of the Board of Trade. July 31, 1908. Right Hon, Sir,-Will you kindly in- tervene in the strike which has taken place during the present week in this district. There are some 6,000 men involved, and the result is likely to be serious to all concerned. The whole country appreciated your efforts in a similar direction a few months ago, whan you so successfully intervened with reference to a strike in the North, and I feel sure that your efforts in this instance will be equally successful. Particulars of the dispute may be ascertained on application to Mr E. M• Hann, M.E., Aberdare, or Mr C. :8. Stanton, Miners' Agent, Aberdare. Trusting my appeal will not be in vain. I remain, Right Hon. Sir, Yours sincerely, F. E. STANSFIELD. Aberdare Liberal Club. Board of Trade, 7, Whitehall Gardens, London, S,W. 6th August, 1908. Sil'I am directed by the Board of Trade to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 31st July, addressed to the President, asking for his intervention in the dispute at the Powell Duffryn Collieries. As you are no doubt aware, the diS" pute between the parties has been settled, aud it has been arranged that the men shall resume work to-day (Thursday). In these circumstances there is no longer any occasion for intervention. I am, Sir, Yours obedient Servant, GEO. J STANLEY, F. E. Stansfield, Esq., Liberal Club, Aberdare.

Modion. Mae y Cymro yn huff iawn c gann caneuon Cymreig pa le bynag y byddo, Ii phwy bynag fydd ei gwmni. Mewn tren, tram, a bus yr un ydyw—" canu'r dydd a chanu'r 3106 ydyw ei hoff waith. Nid yn unig hyny, ond y mae yn neill- duol hoff o gann emynau. Cana a Beth sydd i mi yn y b-v d ac emynau prudd ac angladdol or fath gyda hwyl ac yn ami gyda rhywbeth tebyg i lawenydd. Amlwg yw nad yw yn ystyried cenadwri y geifiau. Sieryd rhai yn gryf yn erbyn canu can- iadau Seion yn ngherbydau y rheilffordd a lleoedd cyffelyb. Gwelwn oddiwrth golofnau y a Leader" ddarfod i glerigwr yn Aberdar yn ddiweddar wrthdystio yn erbyn canu a Lead kindly light" mewn tren hwyrol gan nntai o wibdeithwyr. Os ydyw y cyfryw orchwyl yn bechod pechu yn ddiarwybod y mae y Cymro. Nid ydyw yn ystyried ei bod yn un gog- wydd at gabledd i gann emynau mewn uiirhyw L). Afon Gymreig ydyw yr Hafren o'i dechreuad. Tardd hi a'i chwaer afon Wy ar lethr Plynlumon. Ceidw yr Wy, model bynag, yn ffyddlon i draddodiadau ei mamwlad, a gylch dircedd Gwyllt Walia bron drwy gydol ei gyrfa o fynydd i for. Mae yn wahanol gyda'r Hafren hyfryd. Yn fuan wedi disgyn o Blyn- lumon dechreua sisial aeg y Saeson. Llifa drwy ran o Gymru sydd wedi ei Seisnigeiddio yn llwyr mewn iaith ac ar- ferion. Pel ambell i Gymro sydd arno gywil- ydd o'i wlad a'i iaith, newidia ei henw o Hafren i Severn. Nid ymddengys fel pe ar frys i adael gwlad y Saeson ych- waith, oblegyd dirwyna ogylch Amwythig a dyfrha wastadeddau breision a dinas- oedd eglwysi cadeiriol. Yn y diwedd ymarllwys i gol eigion ger Bryste fawr. Y mae hoffder y Cymro orEisteddfod a chysfcadleuaeth yn peri syndod i estron- iaid. Yn Eisteddfod Caerdydd ar ddydd Llun Gwyl y Banciau eis-teddai torf o Gymru yn astud a dystaw yn y gwres mawr am ysbaid wyth awr. Owyl heb wen a gwlybaniaeth—y llynedd Oedd yn llanw'n talaeth; Ond yn awr sin Duw a wnaeth IV haul dywynu'n helaeth. Dyna yd oedd pro had un bardd, yr hwn gafodd wiychfa arswydus ar ei wyliau y llynedd ond a gafodd hindda eleni. Wedi'r cwbl y mae rhywfath o ddeddf "compensation" yn natur, onid oee? Mae Cynonfardd yn myn'd a dod dros y Werydd mor hwylus ag y croesai afon Cynon yn nyddiau ei ieuenctyd. Yn Aberpennar y dydd or blaen cafodd yr hen eisteddfodwr aiddgar dderbyniad tjwysogaidd. Dyma fel yr englyna Carnelian i'r Gareg Fedd: Merch arwyl, yn mraich hiraeth,—un yw Aned drwy ysgariaeth; (hon Morwyn U Cof," uwch meirwon caeth, Ocheneidia'i chenadaeth. Y mae y Milwriad Henry Howard, o Sir Fflint, wedi bod yn cyhuddo Ym- neillduwyr Cymru o wrthwynebu milwr- iaeth yn mhob fFurf-v fyddin reolaidd ac hefyd y Territorial Army." Ai gwir hyn ? Yn ngwlad yr eisteddfodau yn ddi- weddar yr oedd "yr wy" yn destyn barddoniaeth. Bu un brawd mewn pen- bleth yn hir yn methu gwneyd allan pa un ai wy yr iar ai yr Afon Wy a f eddy lid. Mis rhyfedd ydyw Awst. Y mae y naill haner o'r byd ar ei wyliau ar haner arall yn breuddwydio am wyliau. Y drwg ydyw fod pawb yn myned ymaith yr un adeg yn mron, ac y mae hyny yn parlysu masnach gartref os ydyw yn chwyddo cyllid y glanau ar ffynhonau. Dodi dall ar ben disgwylfa, Dodi'r dwl i ddysgu tyrfa, Dodi'l' diddym wrth y llyw Sydd ddodiad dyn, nid dodiad Duw. Dyna eiriau Eicer Pritchard. Yn sicr y mae Haw dyn yn fwy amlwg na llaw Duw mewn llawer cylch yn y dyddiau hyn. Y mae y rhod yn troi. Y dydd o'r blaen bu achos o ymosodiad o flaen ynadon Caerdydd. Cyhuddid un o athrawon yr ysgol ddyddiol o guro yn ormodol blentyn ystyfnig, a'r trosedd ydoedd anufndd-dod y disgybl i athraw y dosbarth Cymraeg. Gwrthodai y plentyn wneyd ei wers, a rhoddodd yr athraw gurfa iddo. We1 y mae pethau wedi newid er amser y Welsh Notts," pan v ceryddid plant Cymru yn llym am ddefnyddio iaith yr aelwyd yn yr ysgol. Y pryd hyny Cymro a Chymraeg oedd yn dioddef. Heddyw braidd nad yw Cymro a Chymraeg yn tueddu i orthrymu. Condemnir pregethwyr Aberdar am eu bod yn ymyryd yn yr helynt cydrhwng Pwyllgor Addvsg ag Undeb yr Athrawon. Edliwir i'r gwyr parchedig na ddarfu iddynt ymyryd o'r blaen mewn ym- rysonau rhwng meistri a gweithwyr, a phaham yn bresenoi ? A ydyw y pwlpud yn myned i gymeryd mwy o ddyddordeb o hyn allan mewn cwes- tiwnau cymdeithasol a gweithfaol, ai ynte eithriad ydyw ei ymddygiad pre- senol ? Idrisfab yn y Glamorgan Times a haera mai Carnelian ydyw prif englynwr Cymru heddyw. A oes rhywun yn barod i daflu her i'r cynghaneddwr gwych o Bontypridd ? I Wele Frynfab mewn cylch newydd. Yn Eisteddfod Tonypandy enillodd wobr am y ffugchwedl oreu yn dal cysyiltiacl a hanes Cwm Rhondda—cwra genedigoi y bardd-lenor o'r Hendre. Deallwn fod tysteb i gael ei gwneyd i'r Parch P.

Daeth y Geninen Eisteddfodol i law, ac fel arfer y mae yn llawn o gynyrchion barddonol o glawr i glawr, llawer o hon- ynt yn ddiau na welent oleuni dydd oni bai am ofal tadol y golygydd am blant dirif y gwahanol eisteddfodau fach a mawr. Yn gyntaf cawn bryddest ar ú Forfa iihianedd gan y bardd Bryf- dir, ac yn dilyn amryw o fanion awen- yddol. Yn eu mysg mae yr englyn cryf a ganlyn gan Genech i Lusern y Glowr: Cartre'r fflam rhwng nwyon amryw- llusern Yw'n ngwyll oesol ddistryw; Cloedig loeg-wavri ydyw, A gloewaf haul glofa yw.

Gohebiaeth. Y DDAFAD GOLLEDIG. Mr Gol. Goddefwch i mi draethu fy nghydymdeimlad a bugail adnabyddus yn ardal Trecynon, yr hwn sydd mewn mawr drallod o herwydd colli un o'i ddefaid yn ystod yr wythnosau diweddaf. Gan mor ofalus oedd y gwr yr oedd yn syndod i mi fod un o'r defaid wedi dianc, ac yn crwydro ar hyd a lied yr ardal. Mawr oedd ei lawenydd, wedi iddo glywed fod rhai pobl wedi gweled dafad grwydredig yr ochor isaf i'ro Bont Haiarn sydd ar y Gadlys. Yr oedd arni olwg druenus, drwy ddioddef newyn a 1 syched ar ol crwydro o gartref mor hir. Ar frys gwnaeth gyfeirio ei gamrau tuag yno, ac wedi cyrhaedd y fan gofynwyd j iddo am ei arwyddnod. Atebwyd iddynt < yn ddioed mae dafad ddu oedd, gydag t argraph. y bugail arni yn amlwg. Dy- wedwyd wrtho ei bod wedi troi o'r neilldu i chwilio am ychydig wlybwr i dori ei syched anioddefol. Mawr oedd ei siomedigaeth iddi ddianc drachefn, heb iddo gael gafael arni, a'i dwyn yn ol ar ei ysgwyddau yn llawen. Ond er mawr syndod i'r ardal, mae y ddafad wedi gwneud ei hymddangosiad yn y lie, heb neb i'w chyrchu yn ei hoi, ac wedi gwthio ei ffordd i mewn i gorlan ddieithr yn y gymydogaeth. Mae bugail y gorlan bono yn taer ddymuno ar ei pherchenog i ddod i'w harddel, a'i chyrchu adref yn ddiogel am nad yw wedi arfer cadw defaid duon yn mhlith ei braidd, gan ofni y bydd i'w ddefaid yntau derfysgu a myned ar gyfeiliorn o achcs y creadur aflan sydd yn eu plifeh. Da genyf hefyd glywed fod y bugail hwn Syn bwriadu cau yn fwy diogel o amgylch ei gorlan yn y dyfodol, a rhwystro ei ddefaid i ymgymysgu a defaid ei gymdogion. Gobeithiaf y bydd i'w lygaid syrthio ar yr ychydig jinellau hyn fel y gwybydd fod ei ddafad golledig ar gasl, gan hyderu y bydd llawenydd mawr yn bod am hyn. Os na ddaw i'w harddel, bydd raid ei gwerthu er talu ei fchreuliau.—Yr eiddoch yn ffyddlawn, GAL ARWR.

Merthyi, Board or Guardians. —— On Saturday, present Revs J. Hathren Davies (in the chair), J. O.Peilly, W. C, j Thomas, W. A. Jones, VV S. Davies, D, L. Jones, Mrs Evans, Mrs Richards, Mrs Williams, Messrs D. Evans, J.P,. Hirwain, J. Prowie, W. Jones, W. Harris, T, Andrews, J.P., J. Price, Meth Davies, D. Davies, J.P., J. Rogers, N. F. Hankey. J. Aurelius, B. Rees, D. Hughes, T. E. Morgan, W. Davies. T. B. Greatorex, and J. L. Morris, deputy clerk. THE DOCTOR AND TOFFEE. Dr Ward wrote regarding the large quantity of toffee he was recommending for the workhouse. He held that' the toffee was a healthy and digestive diet, and also contributed to a healthy frame of mind. Mr T. B. Greatorex suggested in view of the report that the Guardians obtain a toffee boiler to make their own supply. It was stated that the toffee cost 1/1 I per lb. Mr Meth Davies suggested that the toffee be contracted for in the future. Mr Greatorex Yes, I don't believe in paying 1/1 per lb. for it when we can get good toffee for 6d. or 8d. per lb. It was agreed to accept the Doc- tor's report as satisfactory. THE CLOTH AND THE TERRITORIALS. It was proposed that Mr W. J, Thomas, relieving officer, be given a week extra holidays in order to attend the Territorial camp, Mr W. Davies: Gentlemen of the cloth should not be opposed to this pro- posal after what Col. Howard has said about them. The proposal was agreed to. OLD AGE PENSIONS FOR PAUPERS. Mr J. Prowie gave notice that he would move that the weekly relief of all paupers over 70 be increased to 5s. SCATTERED HOMES. j A SCENE CONCERNING SITES. The report of the Training School committee stated that letters were read from the L. ents of the owners of four of the. sites selected for the erection of Scattered Ho:cs asking for block plans, and the Committee recommended that Mr Thomas Roderick be instructed to prepare a block plan of each of the sites selected. v Mr Prowie stated/ that five architects who had competed for preparing plans for the Receiving Homes had been dis- appointed, Mr Roderick's plan having lbeen selected out of the six sent in. Some of these plans entailed great lab- oar, which had all been in vain. On the principle of distribution of labour he would move that the work of preparing block plans of the Scattered Homes' cites be distribnted among these unsuc- e I sessful competitors. Mr D. Hughes rose to support 6he recommendation of the committee. He said that Mr Prowie had some object in view in making that proposal. Mr Prowie: It is you that has an object in view. Mr Prowie, proceeding, said that no more judgment had been exercised in adjudicating upon the plans than if pigs had been at it. This remark aroused considerable resentment, and Mr Prowie was called upon to withdraw. Mr Hughes: Are you a judge then Mr Prowie You had better stop it or I shall say something else. Mr Hughes: Let's have it now. Mr Prowie: No. I will reserve it for another occasion. Mr Prowie, proceeding, said that on former occasions Bthe Board had gone in for a division of labour. Why not do so now, and give all ratepayers a fair share ? Mr T. E. Morgan (amid some uproar): Good old Aberystwyth!
Merthyi, Board or j Guardians.j
The Rev J. O'Reilly spoke strongly in favour of the recommendation of the committee, which on being put to a vote was carried bp a considerable majority. A TRAMP WITH A GRIEVANCE. Mr J. Prowie told the Board that a tramp, of the honest, respectable work- ing man type, had called upon him and complained of the treatment accorded to him at the Aberdare police station, when a young officer had peremptorily ordered hin, away. He (Mr Prowie), would suggest that the police authorities in Aberdare be asked to give an expla- nation. Mr D. Hugbes did not consider the lot of these tramps a hard one. Many of them were well off, and went to the lodging houses where they fared on the best. The Board agreed to enquire of the police inspector at Aberdare concerning the incident mentioned by Mr Prowie. ( TRAINING SCHOOT, COMMITTEE. The committee recommended that Alexander Mc Carthy be apprenticed as a pupil teacher. Also that the children's outing be on August 20th. A letter was read from Mr J. Collins, 60, Incline row: Aberaman, applying for | Patrick Kearney, but the committee recommended that the application be not entertained. The report was adopted.
