The Aberdare Leader

A Twice-told Tale. Good news bears repeating, and when it is confirmed after a long lapse of time, even if we hesitated to believe it at first hearing, we feel secure in accepting its truth now. The following experience of an Aber- dare woman is confirmed after two years. On July 15th, 1909, Mrs. M. Ab- bott, of 34 Meirion Street-near the Park Schools—Trecynon, Aberdare, said:—" The pains across my back and loins were so severe at times, that I was unable to chop a bit of wood or get up the coals, and it was agony to stoop or kneel at work. I had to get through my work as best I could, often feeling more fit for bed. What caused the trouble I do not remember, but for ten years or so I was hardly ever free from it. I have had to give up work, much against my wish. My rest at night was broken, and in the mornings my eyes were puffy. The water was alto- gether out of order, being cloudy and scalding. "I had had medical treatment, but with no benefit, then I was induced t) try Doan's backache kidney pills. I had relief from the first box of pills. As I continued with them my health improved gradually, and by the time I had taken four boxes I felt quite well again. I could eat better, and sleep better, too, and felt altogether better than I had been for some considerable time. I always speak well of Doan's pills." On Oct. 18th, 1911-over two years later-Mrs. Abbott said: I still enjoy pretty good health, and never have the backache like I had before taking Doan's backache kidney pills. I never like to be without them in the house. Price 2/9 a box, 6 boxes 13/9; of all dealers, or from Foster-McClellan Co., 8 Wells St., Oxford St., Lon- don, W. Don't ask for backache and kidney pills,—ask distinctly for Doan's backache kidney pills, the same as Mrs. Abbott had. r- t

AN IMPORTANT POINT. to those who suffer from Indigestion, Headaches and Liver Complaints is that any remedy to be effective should, when taken, be easily and quickly absorbed by the juices of the Stomach. The marked superiority or KE*N!CK'S VEGETABLE PILLS. in this way has been proved. They are practically tasteless, are very small, ana yet so readily dissolve that their cur- ative effects are quickly experienced— clearing the Head, bracing the Nerves, and removing all excess of bile.

A SMOKING CONCERT was held at the Cvnon Valley Band and Musical Institute on Wednesday in connection with presenting the ex-secretary, Mr Joseph Wollacotte, on,his leaving for Canada. Mr Wollacotte is a native of Bristol, and came to Aberdare to assist the Aberdare football team when it was at its best. The chairman was Mr J. D. Mac, the one and only; vice-chairman, Mr H. Watson. The chairman hoped that their departing friend would pros- per abroad, and come back soon. Pro- gramme: Overture on the piano by Mr H. Burford; song, Mr Ted Jones; re- citation, Atr Jesse Manley; cornet solo by the well-known boy soloist, Jesse Manlev (junior); solo/ Air Rudman, which was loudly applauded. Air Rud- man, on behalf of the members, Pret pented Atr Wollacotte with a purse oi srold and a cigar case, and in doing so hoped that the cigar case would always remind him of the institute and me.m" bers. Atr Harry Alorgan spoke stating that he found their departing brother a good friend. He wished him well. Mr Jesse Manley also spoke a few words. He fully endorsed all that the other gentlemen had said. Song, Mr Rud- man; recitation, Mr Teddy Davies; song by the well-known tenor, Mr D. Clark. On the proposition of Mr Jesse Manley, seconded by Mr S. Watson, a hearty vote of thanks was accorded the artistes. An enjoyable evening closed with the National Anthem. TABERNACLE. a Give glory to God. We know that this man is a sin- ner." These words, taken from John ix. 24, constituted the text of a sermon preached at Tabernacle on Sundav even- ing by the Rev. J. M. Jones, M.A., pastor. These words, remarked he, re- presented the cool and deliberate judg- ment of the Pharisees upon Jesus Christ This man is a sinner "—almost the worst word in their moral vocabulary, and about Jesus of all men. What ineffable impudence to say such things, and to the very man who was a living witness to the goodness of Jesus. And yet such conduct was not unknown even in these days. Three things were noticeable about the moral measure- ments of the Pharisees, which led them to pass judgment on the Saviour: (1) They measured everything and every- body by a rigid legal system of their own. A man of straw had been set up as their ideal. (2) This conventional system of' theirs encouraged a crude and rigid classification of men into saints and sinners, saved and unsaved, converted and unconverted. (3) It en- couraged men to emphasise correct action and conventional conduct rather than character. These cast iron stand- ards, these measurements by rule of thumb, were still with us. There was not one man or woman who was en- tirely saved or entirely unsaved. We should not pass judgment without due regard to circumstances. To one man telling the truth might be a most easy thing, whereas to another a successful effort to be truthful entailed a terrible struggle with all the forces of heredity and environment. Let us be more toler- ant in forming our estimate of our fellow-men. SUPPER AND PRESENTATION. On Saturday evening at Aliles' Re- staurant a very enjoyable evening was spent by the students of the Aberdare and Abernant combined mining classes, to terminate a most succeessful season.

Alderman David Hughes, who presided, handed to Air James, on behalf of the students, a splendid dressing-case in recognition of his ser- vices as teacher throughout the session.
