We regret to record the leath of Mrs Jackson, wife of Mr J. Jickson, Abernant Road, who is the loca' representative of Worthington's. The deceased lady, who passed away on Saturday morning, had been ailing for a considerable time, and had only recently returned home after a month's eta; at Bath, where she had been under- gone treatment. She had a host of frifftds, who admired her courage and chterful disposition under a long and trying illness. There is one daughter, wih whom, as well as Mr Jackson, grat sympathy is felt. The interment tares place to-day (Thursday) at New- PTABERNACLE (CONG.).—" The pre- sent meaning of the story of Philip md the Ethiopian official" was the subject with which the Rev. J. M. .ones, Af.A., dealt in his sermon from he pulpit of Tabernacle on Sunday .'veiling. This great Ethiopian, said he, had come from the ends of the earth in search of something which lie could not find in his own country. He was a searcher after the best that life could give him. and this was typical of that age, an age in which men and women had become tired of cynical liiditter- ence. A great many people were still seeking—in a book—ease of heart and ease of conscience. Some sought iiieqe in the Bible, others in other great literatures. The Ethiopian had come to the end of the power of the book, be- cause there was no interpreter. If tha man needed the book. the book also needed the man with the living voice and living' experience. In all our searchirg, when groping after the truth in written words, there was nothing that could kindle the human soul like another soul akin to itself. Neither our age nor any other age was going to be saved by ancient writings or elaborate ritual, but by living inter- preters, who were the incarnations of or elaborate ritual, but by living inter- preters, who were the incarnations of faith and hope and love. TRINITY. The pastor of Trinity English C.M. Church, the Rev. J. Lewis Jenkins, officiated at this church on Sunday. In the morning Mr Jen- kins addressed a good number of chil- dren, taking as his subject, The Wishing Well." In his usual homely way he gave the juveniles some sound advice, and the questions he put were readily answered. Mr Jenkins took as his dual text the beatitude, o Blossed are the pure in heart for they shall see God," and a No man hath seen God at any time." There was, he remarked. an apparent contradiction in these two passages. Some people argued that there was no God from the fact that he could not be made visible to the eye of the flesh. Neither could we see God by means of an intellectual process I No one by thinking only came to know God. Man arrived at the transcendent conviction Of the existence ot <jtod oy means of the heart. Five minutes of penitence gave us a better view of him than years of study. If a man love me I will manifest myself to him," said God. It was through the tragedies of life that we often came to the conclu- sion that there was a God. It was the heart bowed down that recognised the great realities of life. Let us thank God that it was possible for the meanest intelligence in Aberdare to come to a thorough knowledge of him through Jesus Christ and come into possession of a faith which the jeers and sneers of the sceptic and the cynic could not shake.—At the close of the service Mr Jenkins referred to the terrible Balkan war. He did not wish to refer to the political aspect of the question, but he regretted the failure of the Powers to effect reconciliation. He deplored the jealousy which existed between the Allies, and which was responsible for the perpetuation of the bloodshed. He wis afraid that the church was too indifferent to the slaughter which pre- vailed. We should pray fervently that God in his wisdom might bring peace into the hearts of men, and cause a cessation of the terrible bloodshed of which we continually read.

ABERG WMBOI,
ABERG WMBOI, POSTPONEMENT. The prize drawing in aid of David Jones, 25 Mostyn Street, has been postponed to August 21st, 1913. PULPIT. On Sunday last the Rev. John Morris, Cardiff, late minister of Star Street Church, Cardiff, occupied the pulpit of Bethlehem. SUMMONSES.— We are given to understand on a very good authority that the officials and trustees of the Abercwmboi Hall have been summoned by Mr A. S. Cameron, architect, Aber- dare, in respect of the dispute re the New Hall and Library. It may be re- membered that some time ago Mr Cameron was appointed architect for the above, but when the specifications were read a dispute arose re the sitting accommodation, and the result was that Mr Cameron's figures were challenged. A meeting was called, the result of which was that the whole thing was thrown overboard. Now Mr Cameron claims ,048 damages from the com- mittee for work done. On Saturday Messrs Philip Rees, D. J. Evans, and Meredith Evans, secretary, treasurer. and chairman respectively, together with Revs. J. Bowen Davies and M. Jenkins, and Mr Augustus Davies, trustees, were served with summonses to appear at the Aberdare County Court on August 11th. A meeting of the inhabitants will be held to-morrow evening (Friday) to discuss the situa- tion.
...... .._.------__--Abercwmboi…
Abercwmboi Jottings. BY GWALCH." My friend, Mr Rees Davies, who assumed the leading role in the Welsh drama, "Die Shon Dafydd," per- formed by the Bethlehem Dramatic Society recently, was a huge success as a dramatist. Die's" first trip to London as a monoglot Welsh bumpkin and his sub- sequent return to his native village after a stay of few years, immaculately dressed in the conventional frock coat and silk hat and displaying his pince- nez, was a very fine bit of acting. But unfortunately "Richard Jones Davies Esq. had forgotten all his Cymraeg. His "hexpressions" in the Cockney tongue were really ticklish, and his imperfect knowledge of Anglo- Saxon caused ripples of laughter. which reached a climax when he swore "infernal" allegiance to his lady- love. The utter incapacity of gentlemen residing outside our village to repre- sent us on the Council is once more de- monstrate'! by their failure to iiisist upon running the railless" cars to within measurable distance of the majority of our inhabitants. The additional cost tvould be in- finitesimal, and being railless "wooden hlock" would be quite unnecessary. Perhaps our estimable representatives will explain this palpable oversight It was obvious to the least observant who was walking through Bruce Fields on Sunday that the majority it the gills had reduced their attire almost to Lady Godiva point. Next Sunday we may see them going about precisely like her, "clothed only in chastity. What a naked shame! Smart young ladies of five years ago would, positively, not be seen in such scanty immodest attire outside their dressing-rooms or bath-rooms.

; Aberdare Chamber of Trade.…
Aberdare Chamber of Trade. The monthly meeting of tha Aberdare and District Chamber of Trade was held on Tuesday evening, Mr. C. R. Vicary in the chair. He was supported by Messrs. A. E. Harmston and T. W. Griffiths, vice-presidents, and E. Howells Evans, hon. sec.
Jury System.
Jury System. Mr. Alfred J. James, Cowbridge, wrote at some length concerning the proposed reform of the jury system, and dealt more particularly with the Minori- ty Report issued recently. The President said that there was a motion standing in the name of Mr. W. H. Fenton to the effect that a series of lectures on business topics be held next winter. Should this motion be carried, it would be well if Mr. James were asked to deliver an address on the jury question. It was time to take some action in this matter, because tradesmen suffered great losses when they had to serve on juries. In some instances they lost a fortnight's valu- able time.
Closing Order.
Closing Order. The Clerk of the Aberdare District Council wrote in reply to the Chamber of Trade stating that the Council re- gretted "that under all the circum- stances of the case they were unable to agree to the suspension of the Shops Hours Act for the three days immedi- ately preceding August Bank Holiday." Mr. Tom Evans was at a loss to know what was meant by "under all the circumstances." Secretary: That is just what I can- not understand. Mr. Tom Evans moved that the Secretary write to the Council Clerk asking him what he meant by those words. This was seconded and adopted.
The Wooden Blocks. j
The Wooden Blocks. The Local Government Board again wrote with regard to the wooden blocks which the Council have ordered to be laid in lieu of stone setts in front of the Town Hall and Education Offices. The letter stated that in this matter the L.G.B. had no jurisdiction, unless the Council applied for sanction to borrow money for the work. The President remarked that appar- ently the only remedy the ratepayers had was to appear before the auditor at the proper time and object to the item being placed in the Highways ac- count, which the Council had done in order to hoodwink the ratepayers.
Football and Carnival.
Football and Carnival. The Aberdare Football Supporters Club wrote asking for support in con- nection with a proposed Carnival and Fete which is to be held at Aberdare Park on August 21st. A deputation consisting of Mr. Geo. Grubb (secretary) and Mr. George Stephens appeared, and explained that the Carnival was being organised in order to obtain funds to run the Asso- ciation Football Club during next season. Both gentlemen spoke and asked the Chamber members to enter in the various competitions and in other ways support the Carnival. Un- less something were done it was feared that Aberdare would not possess a premier football team next winter. Mr. Morgan Isaac moved that they support and co-operate with the Sup- porters' Club, and Mr. J. L. Rosser seconded. Mr. Emrys Evans support- ed, and remarked that it would be a great pity as well as a loss to the town, if the football club became extinct. Mr. T. Evans proposed, and Mr. T. Lloyd seconded a direct negative. The motion was carried, only two voting against it.
:Preferential Treatment to…
Preferential Treatment to Solicitors. Mr. Morgan Isaac had a notice on the agenda calling attention to the pre- ferential treatment meted out to solici- tors and solicitors' clerks on County Court days before the Registrar. Mr Isaac said it was full time to protest against this practice. It was extreme- ly unfair for the bulk of plaintiffs, who did not engage solicitors in the Regis- trar's Court, to have to wait, while plaintiffs with solicitors were attended to immediately. It was only in this Valley that this system was in vogue. There was no other place in Wales where it was done, and he moved that a deputation wait upon the Registrar with the view of abolishing the system. Mr J. Vincent seconded. Mr. T. Lloyd supported the motion, He was surprised to hear that it was only in Aberdare that this practice was in vogue. The Secretary explained that the reason why this preference was given was that there were two Courts held in two separate buildings. In most towns the two courts were held in the same building, and therefore there was no need to grant the preference referred to. The solicitors wanted to finish at the Registrar's Court in order to con- duct cases before the judge. Mr. Lloyd: It is not fair to poor people like myself to have to wait the convenience of others. Plaintiffs with- out solicitors might also have cases be- fore the judge, and there were in- stances where the cases had been struck out because the plaintiffs -were not present in the Judge's Court through having to wait at the Registrar's Ceurt. Mr. Emrys Evans remarked that it was extremely awkward to have the Courts held in different buildings, one a good distance away from the other. There was undoubtedly sore need m this town of a commodious building, where the two courts could be held at one and the same time. The President remarked ttiat it was not the fault of the Registrar. He | (the registrar) had made efforts to ob- tain a suitable site, then he could lay the whole matter before the proper authorities and have a building erected. Mr. T. W. Griffiths mentioned that a deputation from the Chamber of Trade had already interviewed the registrar, who then said that all he wanted was a suitable site, when they could erect suitable rooms to hold the two courts. Mr. -Al. Isaac's motion was carried, and also a rider that the Registrar be urged to do his utmost to obtain a building suitable for holding both Courts.

Parhaodd eu hundeb priodasol am yn agos i dri ugain o flynyddoedd, ac o'r undeb hwn ganwyd iddynt ddeg o blant. tri o ba rai sydd yn fyw i alaru ar ei ol. sef David Llywelyn, Chillicothe; Mrs. Margaret Williams, New Cam- Dria a ionn Liywelyn, tfevier, yn nghyd a'r fam a'r weddw oedanus. Ar ol gwasanaeth angladdol yn y ty am naw boreu dydd lau, J. Jeffrey Evans yn gwasanaethu, cludwyd y gweddillion g.yda'r tren i Dawn, pryd y gosodwyd hwynt yn ymyl gweddill- ion adiryw o'r plant yn ngladdfa'r teulu. Gwasanaethwyd yno gan J. Jeffrey Evans a'r Parch. J. Gwawr- fryn Evans, D.D., Dawn. Yr oedd Mr. Llywelyn wedi cael addysg dda yn moreu ei oes, ac yr oedd yn wir dalentog. Yr oedd yn gerddor gwych, ac nid gellid ei guro gyda'r crwth. Pan yn ieuanc bu yn rhoddi gwersi i Caradog enwog. Caf- odd ei ddwyn i fyny gyda'r Sosiniaid, a glynai wrth y blaid hono hyd ych- ydig tlynyddoedd yn ol. pryd yr ymunodd a'r eglwys Annibynol. Caf- odd ei argyhoeddi ei fod -.i-edi Jbod yn credu cyfeiliornad drwy ei fywyd. Bu farw mewn ffydd yn yr Iesu, nid yn unig fel dyn da, ond hefyd fel Person dwyfol, yn ogyfmvch a'r Tad. Credai fod yr iawn yn anfeidrol, ac mai ar sail yr aberth iawnol a roes yr lesu yr oedd gobaith iddo ef am fywyd. Duw fyddo yn nodded i'w- weddw.—Goh.

HYFRYDWCH YR HAF.
HYFRYDWCH YR HAF. Mor hyfryd yn yr haf Yw'r olwg ar y meusydd, Gan wyrddlas borfa braf Sy'n swyn i galon pry dydd; Rhyw fantell werdd ddiail 0 waith yr hen arlunydd, Yn ymlid ffwrdd ,bob sail M*ai dyn fu ei chynllunydd. Mor hyfryd yn yr haf Yw tlysni'r peraidd flodau, A thewi byth ni wnaf Wrth ganmol y rhosynau; A chofio'r lili dlos Fu'n destyn dysg gan lesu. Dry'n help im' yn y nos Fynd ato i gartrefu. Mor hyfryd yn yr haf Yw'r olwg ar y dderwen, Mae'n her i'r gwynt a'r gwlaw, A chysgod clyd rhag heulwen A'r onen ddeiliog werdd Yn llwythog hyd y brigau, A swn yr awel gerdd Yn sisial ei pher nodau. Mor hyfryd yn yr haf Yw clywed cor y llwyni Yn arllwys odlau mwyn Yn un gymanfa ganu; Eu parch a'u mawl i'r lor Y maent vn gyd-delori, Er clywed llawer cor Y wig i mi am dani. Mor hyfryd yn yr haf Yw'r olwg ar y mynydd Yn frith o ddefaid man Ac wyn yn chwareu beunyod, Heb unrhyw nodyn lleddf, Na dim yn dod i'w poeni, Ond oil yn ol eu greddf Yn brefu ac yn pori. Mor hyfryd yw yr haf Sy'n gysgod gwan o'r gwynfyd, Lie na fydd neb yn glaf, Na neb yn goddef adfyd Mae natur dlos o hyd Yn caninol haf dymhorol. Ond syndod mwya'r byd Fydd gwenau'r haf dragwyddol. Mor hyfryd yn yr haf Yw cydgan natur drwyddi, Esboniad gwell ni chaf Fod Duw yn ei rheoli A chofier cyn bo hir, Pan ddelo i deyrnasu, Bydd hyn yn ffaith rhy glir I neb i geisio'i gwadu.

ER COF
ER COF Am y cyfaill ieuanc William Griffiths, anwyl fab David a Sarah Ann Griffiths, 13 Ynyscynon Street, Cwmbach. Mor gynar machludodd ei haul yn y glyn, Tra pob peth o'i gwmpas yn ddisglaer u a gwyn, A bywyd yn agor fel rhosyn ar bren, Mor sydyn ein gobaith a. fwriwyd dan len. Prin cyrhaedd a wnaeth ei bymtheg ^mlwydd oed, Cyn i'r gelyn erch angau gymeryd ei nod, A gollwng ei saethau angeuol i froa Ein cyfaill bach William, hawdd- garol, a lion. Ni welwyd mwy serchog ar un aelwyd fad, Efe oedd anwyiyn ei fam fel ei dad; Xid rhyfedd fod hwythau yn wylo yn brudd Wedi colli'i hoff fachgen a'i roddi dan gudd. Ond cysur yw meddw] er hyny i gyd, Os yw'r llais fu mor swynol yn ddystaw a mud, Ei fuohedd fyn siarad yn hyglyw a hyf, Rinweddau arosant pl nerthol a chryf. Iniunodd yn foreu dan faner y groes, A daliodd ei afael er yn fynych da*i loes D'wed rhinwedd yn hyglyw am fywyd oedd wyn, Ond heddyw mae'n huno yn meddrod y glyn. Mewn adrodd a chanu yr oedd wrth ei fodd, Defnyddio'r talentau a gafodd yn rhodd Oedd neges ei fywyd pan yma yn fyw Oedd daer iawn mewn gweddi wrth ymbil a Duw. Boed i chwi, rieni, sydd heddyw yn drist, I gofio bydd marw i'r rhai sydd yn Nghrist Yn elw pan rydd yr Archangel ei lef, I gasglu'r gwaredigion i tyny i'r nef. Mor felus fydd cwrdd a'n rhai anWJ-I pryd hyn. A gweled hen ffryndiau gollasom yn y glyn; Llawenydd yn dawnsio ar eu lion newydd wedd Yn hwylio'u telynau i ganu mewn hedd Lie ni bydd na hiraeth na galar yn bod, Ond pawb yn ymuno a'r angelion mewn clod, Yn seinio Hosanna i'r Iesu dros byth Yn nghanol gogoniant a mawredd dilyth. Cwmbach. WM. VAUGHAN.
