At this church on Sunday morning the Te Deum was sung to Helmore's setting. The Benedictus was chanted. The Rev. H. G. Griffiths, B.A., officiated. At the evening service the Canticles were sung to Maunder in G. The Rev. D. J. Rowland, B.A., officiated, and preached an earnest ser- mon. Taking as his text "The marks of the Lord Jesus," the rev. gentleman paid that as long as we were in the tabernacle of the flesh we should ever be assailed. Baptism was a mark of the Lord Jesus. Through the corrupting influences of the world, the mark seemed to fade, yet in the sight of God it was indelible. Confirmation, Holy Com- munion, and a life of service were all marks that must be borne by the faith- ful, otherwise they were not fighting the Lord's battles. PRESENTATION. An interesting function took place at the Town Council Schools on Saturday afternoon last, when Mr EmTys Davies, hon. secretary of the Aberdare Division of the St. John Ambulance Association, was pre- sented with a massive writing case and cigarette case by the members of the Brigade in recognition of faithful ser- vices to the Brigade as secretary for the last 3t years. Sergeant T. Davies, who presided, referred to Mr Davies' loyalty to the movement. The presentation was made by Superintendent D. Evans in a few well-chosen words. Mr Thomas Wil- liams, the treasurer, referred to Mr Davies' services to the cause, and re- marked that the Brigade owed a great deal to him. Their division was better off financially and in point of numbers through their secretary's devotion to the cause. Mr Davies gratefully acknow- ledged the gifts. FAREWELL SERMON. "Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace, and the God of love and peace shall be with you." These words taken from II. Cor. xiii. 11 constituted the text of the farewell sermon of the Rev. T. J. Pritchard (Glan Dyfi) on Sunday morning last at Scion (W.) Church. The rev. gentleman made stirring refer- ences to the need of carrying out the teaching of Christ as in the text. Mr Pritchard is leaving this circuit after three years of earnest work on Thursday (to-day) for Gorseinon. He is a power- ful preacher and a clear thinker. His departure will be keenly felt in this cir- cuit. He is the president of the Welsh Wesleyan Conference. He was also the president of the Free Church Councils' Federation. He carries with him the good wishes of a large circle of friends. May he be spared for many years to carry on the great work of his life. At Thursday evening's "seiat" and on Sunday morning several members spoke feelingly of Mr Pritchard's regretted departure. On Sunday evening Mr Lewis, of Pembrey, occupied the pulpit, and preached from John xx. 9. PRESENTATIONS. At Seion (W.) Church's Vestry on Sunday, at the close of the Sunday School, a presentation meeting was held, when Mr J. E. Jones, ) superintendent, presided, supported by the Rev. T. J. Pritchard (Glan Dyfi).

Lewis, Brynheulog, Aberdare; Mrs Margaret Ann Thomas, Abercwmboi, and Mrs Maggie Lewis, Pendarren Street, Aberdare.

The prize offered by Mr Henry Lloyd (Ab Hevin) for learning Scripture verses was won by Miss Dorothy Thomas, of Mrs T. J. Prit- chard's class. The Rev. T. J. Pritch- ard, who handed the books, impressed upon all the need of being faithful to the Sunday School and the missionary work. The superintendent referred to the impending departure of the pastor and his family, who have been strong pillars of the Sunday School during their three years' stay at Aberdare. The presentations were arranged by Mr J. E. Jones, superintendent, and Mr Gil- bert Jones secretary.

Church was occu- £ pied on Sunday last by the Rev. J. t Myddvai Jones, Dowlais, pastor-elect ] of the church. In the morning the rev. i gentleman based his remarks upon Romans vii. 15, and preached an elo- quent sermon on Adoption." A special feature in the afternoon was the dis- tribution of books as rewards for collecting towards the Missionary So- ciety. In the evening the preacher de- c livered a sermon on I. Tim. vi. 12, 13. After dealing upon a Christian's life —its trials, essentials and characteristics —the preacher applied the principles J )aid down in the text to the life of the J late G. J. Davies (Gwilym Gwyllt), a deacon of the church. After dealing with him as poet and patriot he ended his remarks by emphasising his 1 Christian character, as a deacon Sun- day School teacher, and an all-round 7 Christian worker. The late Gwilym Gwyllt was a strenuous Christian worker, and his departure will be keenly felt by the church and in the neighbourhood.—The precentor was Mr Alfred E. James.

w ■' Letters to the Editor. THE SALVATION ARMY. Sir,On Sunday morning last the Band of the Salvation Army parad- ed the streets at Trecynon between 11 and 12, discoursing what might have been described under proper conditions as sweet music; but it is not fair they should do this in close proximity to the churches when as- sembled for public worship. The music then becomes noise and not music, and public worship is made difficult if not impossible. I am sorry to complain, and do so in sorrow and not in anger. Hoping our good friends will see to it that this great wrong is righted.—I re- main, etc., S.N.S.

Fatality at Aberpergwm. Ir. Howell Cuthbertson held an inquest at Cwmgwrach on Tuesday on the body of Charles Reynolds (22), collier, employed at the Rock Colliery, AJberpergwm, who was on Thursday last killed by a fall of coal. According to the evidence of Thos. John Reynolds, Aberpergwm, he and deceased were working together, when a big lump of coal fell on his brother's head. He ran for help, and it was a long time before they could get him out from under the fall. He was conscious, but never spoke, and died shortly afterwards. In reply to Mr. J. S. Foot, his Majesty's Inspector, witness said the heading was about 9ft. high. John Adams, the fireman, of Glyn- neath, said he examined the place as usual, and considered it perfectly safe. Dr. Samuel McClure, Glyn-neath, described the injuries, and said death was due to fracture of. the skull. A verdict of "Accidental death" was returned.
