ABERDARE. PRAMS retyred and renovated at Parker Bros., Aberdare. SOMETHING FOR NOTHING-Go at once to Emrys Evans, Cash Chemist, and see window. BETHANIA.—The preacher at Be- thania C M. Church last Sunday was the Rev. Isaac Morris, B.A., B.D., Ynysybwl. SEION (W.)--On Sunday morning last this pulpit was occupied by the Rev. H. O. Hughes, pastor, and in the evening by Mr. Edward Evans, Glancynon. TRINITY.—The ex-pastor, Rev. R. R.

In the evening the Canticles were sung to Smart in G, and the Rev. K. O. Carter, M.A., offici- ated. ST. MARK'S MISSION.—Messrs. T. G. Chivers and'D. R. Tasker conducted the service at this place of worship on Sunday evening last. There was a large congregation present, and Mr. W. H. Templeman gave an address from Psalm 119, 10. Mrs. LI. M. Jones presided at the organ. ST. DAVID'S.—The anniversary ser- vices were held last Sunday at St. David's Presbyterian Church. The special preacher was the Rev. Norman Eraser, M.A., B.D., Liverpool. In the afternoon the rev. gentleman gave an admirable address to the Sunday School scholars, taking as his text Acts xx. 35, It is more blessed to give than to receive." The preacher said that the greatest happiness in the world consisted in making others happy. It was sometimes difficult for young people to realise the truth of the text, but when they remembered that it was the practice of Jesus, the children's friend, to go about doing good, feeding the hungry, giving sight to the blind; and lastly to give His life a ransom for many, the truth became clearer. It was our bounden duty to try to copy the Saviour. —Mr. Fraser was a fellow student of the Rev. J. Robertson, M.A., pastor of St. David's, with whom he exchanged pulpits on Sunday. HIGHLAND PLACE,The pastor, Rev. E. T. Evans, based an able sermon on Sunday morning on the words, "When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars which thou hast ordained, what is man that thou art mindful of him, and the son of man that thou visitest him ?" There were many besides the writer of this Psalm (and the author was certainly not King David) who were prone to admire flowers, but spurned children, especially poor children; or who went into raptures over the majesty of the heavens, but de- preciated fellow-beings. We should re- member that man was more than nature. Nature did not know anything of her ex- istence, whereas men and women did know. Consciousness of that kind was much superior to all forms of uncon- sciousness. To love nature and hate man indicated an ufinatural state of mind. If they admired the universe, let them also admire man, who was part of the uni- verse. The text referred to should really be rendered, "What is man that thou art not mindful of him, and the son of man that thou visitest him not ? CROWNING •CEREMONY—At Seion (W.) Chapel on Tuesday evening, the crowning ceremony of Mr. H. Lloyd (Ab Hevin), winner of the silver crown at the Caerau Eisteddfod took place. The Rev. D. Silyn Evans conducted.
