The War.
The War. Tired in France to a Point of Trance. 1- Mr. Tom Rees, Castle Hotel, has re- ceived the following letter from Sergt. T. W. Hiseock, R.F.A., somwhere in France. It will be remembered that the Artillery Sergeant was a Police Sergt. when in Aberdare. He writes: "We are up to our eyes in work and duty and not much time to write when one is at it all night and part of the day. We get so tired at times that when we do lie down we go into a trance. Whether smothered in mud or dry, it's just the same. Once we get to sleep though, the shells have to drop very close to wake us up. If we are spared to come home safe and sound and get a good bed to lie on again, we will want some waking up. We won't be like some of them at home who com- plain of noises in Aberdare streets. You would have to fire a gun off right beside my ear when once I got down to it. Re- member me to all old friends in Aber- dare."
Ordination at Crynant.
Ordination at Crynant. A NATIVE OF CWMGWRACH. The ordination services of Mr. Urias Phillips, B.A., at Crynant, were held on August 11th and 12th. Mr. Phillips, who is a native of CwmgwTach, recently completed his theological course at Brecon College. He studied for his arts course at the University College, Car- diff. He is well known throughout the district, and is held in high esteem. A short time before leaving college he re- ceived a unanimous call to Godre Rhos and Crynant Churches, which he accepted. On Wednesday evening two powerful sermons were delivered by Professor Joseph Jones, M.A., B.D., of Brecon College, and the Rev. Ben Davies, of Panteg. The latter delivered a charge to the church. On Thursday morning Principal T. Lewis, M.A., preached on the true function of the church. At two o'clock the Rev. Lewis Jones, Tynycoed, ex- Chairman of the Congregational Union of Wales, took the chair, and several persons took part in the service. The Rev. Edmond Davies, Seven Sisters, put the usual questions to Mr. Phillips, which were satisfactorily answered. Prayer was offered by the Rev. J. Ed- wards, Soar, Neath. The Rev. Albert Evans, of Cwmgwrach, delivered a charge to the pastor. Mr. Aneurin Davies, B.A., B.D., a student at Brecon College, spoke on behalf of his colleagues. Principal Lewis represented the staff of the college. Both testified to Mr. Phillips's noble character, dili- gence, and intellectual power. Mr. T. Price, deacon, represented Siloh, Cwm- gwrach, and conveyed the best wishes of that church for a successful union of pastor and flock. Mr. P. McCarthy, deacon, on behalf of the mother church and congregation at Cwmgwrach, pre- sented Mr. Phillips with a number of handsome books. There were a large number of friends from Glyn Neath and also many students present. In the evening sermons were delivered by the Rev. Gwilym Rees, B.A., Mer- thyr, and the Rev. J. Rees, Alltwen.

From Glyn Neath to Ammanford.
From Glyn Neath to Amman- ford. MINISTER'S VALEDICTORY MEET- ING. On Monday evening last at Addoldy Chapel, Glyn Neath, which was crowd- ed, a meeting was held on the occasion of the departure of the Rev. D. Tegfan Davies, former pastor, to Ammanford, to take charge of the pastorate of the Christian Temple. The rev. gentleman had been at Glyn Neath for four years and eight months, and his ministry had been a great success. The Rev. D. Hughes, Bethania, read a portion of Scripture, and the Rev. A. Evans, Siloh, offered prayer. The chair was occupied by the Rev. T. Carmen Harries (B.), Bethel, who paid an excellent tribute to the departing minister. Then Messrs. Jacob Jones and James Jones, the two oldest deacons, presented Mr. Davies with handsome and valuable books. Mr. Davies responded very feel- ingly. Afterwards the other deacons spoke very highly of Mr. Davies, and expressed their sorrow on losing him. Mr. Edwin Phillips, Councillor E. J. Hopkins, Mr. Lewis Thomas, Mr. David Price, M.E., representatives of Capel y Glyn, and Mr. Meredith Davies, representative, Ebenezer, Pontneath- vaughan, gave addresses. Mrs. Tegfan Davies was presented with a handsome silver tea service by Mrs. Ann Jones, Mrs. Elizabeth Hop- kins, Mrs. Tasker. and Miss Rosser. Mrs. Davies responded in a very appropriate address. Addresses were also given by Mr. Zachariah Uoyd, Rev. D. Hughes, Bethania; Rev. Albert Evans, Cwmgwrach, and the Rev. J. Ll. Thomas, M.A., Vicar of Aberpergwm. A letter was read from the Rev. D. Glannedd Williams re- gretting he was unable to attend, and wishing happiness to Mr. and Mrs. Teg- fan Davies in their new sphere. Mr. Samuel Weaver, L.T.S.C., conducted the singing.
British Red Cross Society.
British Red Cross Society. Nursing of Wounded Soldiers at Home. The High Constable, Mr. Charles Kenshole, appeals to the inhabitants of Aberdare and district for their support in carrying on the Red Cross Hospital at Tiecynon, Aberdare. "The Homes" of f Trecynon, consist ot two blocks of buildings a new block o?riaK^m°ilt6 80111(1 60 t**18 and the Wis Tl n ac<^ommodation for 150 Twffi, n ? Guardians of the Merthyr Pn>lon 'lavo furnished and equipped the new block and have hand- ed it over to the Red Cross Voluntary Aid Women's Detachment of Merthvr and Aberdare for administration as an Auxiliary Hospital for wounded soldiers. Mrs. George Hann, of Ysguborwen, has also very kindly provided an X-Ray Apparatus for the Hospital at a cost of over L300. In a recent report by the Red Cross Officials on the inspection of the Aux- iliary Home Hospital in the County of Glamorgan it is stated that this Hospi- u'" j the largest and most complete w in^ie County of Glamorgan. The \\ar Ofhce and the Local Govern- ment Board have approved of the Hos- pital, and nothing now remains to be done except the final inspection before the wounded are admitted, and this, it is expected, will take place at once It is estimated that with 60 beds the cost of maintenance over and above the war allowance will be about £ 1 000 per annum. It is, however, expected that a much larger number of the wounded will later on be sent to Aber- dare in which case the cos. will be cor- respondingly increased. Constable is desirous that tne Merthyr and Aberdare Branch of the Red Cross Society shall be relieved 2^^ an?iety m reference to the neces- sary funds for carrying on the work, and he confidently appeals to his fellow townsmen for their sympathy and sup- port and thus assist in alleviating the pain and suffering of our brave wounded soldiers. Contributions may be sent to the High Constable or ° to the London and Provincial Bank, Aberdare. The following sums have already been received:- £ s. d. m,le ^t^011' Lord Aberdare 100 0 0 The P.D.

Haggar's Kinema, Aberdare.
Haggar's Kinema, Aberdare. NEXT WEEK: 'THE MORALS OF MARCUS" AND "FOR THE KING." On Monday next the opening of that striking and beautiful structure, Coun- cillor Haggar's New Kosey Kinema, will take place. It has already won a warm appreciation in the hearts of the Aber- dare public, and justly so. It is only just what might have been expected of our genial townsman. Whatever he places his hand to is thoroughly done straight and clean to the finish. A handsome front, bold in design, yet delicate in thought, for its stately Ionic columns are relieved with friezes and beautiful wreaths, and stands as a beautiful competitor in art of its neigh- bour-the local law courts. The writer had the pleasure of going through the, building with Councillor Haggar and Mr. Gwilym Davies, manager of Messrs. John Morgan and Son (Aberdare), Ltd., the builders. The whole seating accommodation-easy and comfortable, is for 760, and, most remarkable, a clear view from every seat. A sloping floor has been provided, so that even the matinee hat may be defied. The tip-up' chairs are comfortable in the extreme. Most noticeable were the passages on either side showing that the exits and entrances are more than ample for ab- solute safety. The lighting is the latest in electric designs, and wTipti fnllr illuminated the hall presents an ani- mated picture of delight. The decora- tions and gold carvings are in beautiful taste, and show that extreme care evevt, to the final touch has been taken. A balcony runs around the building with » glorious grand gallery at the rear. The seating here Ts the last word in theatrs properties. Beautiful upholstered crimson, arm chairs are here provided with a perfect view of the screen frottJ every point. The heating apparatus i* of the very best, and the ventilation ø. system that cannot be surpassed, the' sliding roof being one of the great luxuries in ventilating the theatrw- Mr. George Kenshole was the architectr and Messrs. John Morgan and Sons, Ltd., Aberdare, the builders. The cott" struction has been under the personal management of Mr. Gwilym Davies- The opening ceremony will take place at six o'clock next Monday evening by Mr. Charles Kenshole, the High Con- stable, and the public performance wilt follow at eight o'clock. A gigantic programme of star films will be' screened by Councillor Haggar, includ- ing "The Morals of Marcus," featur- ing Marie Dero in her greatest stags triumph, and produced by the FaDlO Players Co. Another beautiful drama 1S' 'For the King," a story of the ArtJ11 md Navy. Most attractive undoubtedly tfill be the presentation of Aberdare Uivic Sunday Procession; also plenty lumourous subjects, including the lateØt icream of Charles Chaplin.
