N.S.P.C.C. and the War. REMARKABLE RECORD IN ARMY AND NAVY WORK. The National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children has fifty-six of its Inspec- tars serving with the colours—thirty-seven in the Army and nineteen with the Navy. In the Army, with one exception, all hold official rank. One is a captain and adjutant, another a captain, one a lieutenant and adjutant, two are lieutenants, five hold the rank of lieuten- lant and quartermaster, four are quarter- master sergeants, one is a company quarter- master sergeant, another regimental sergeant major, colour sergeant major there is ft squad sergeant major, four are battery sergeant sergeant majors, five are sergeant majors, another a company sergeant major, one a staff sergeant, two sergeant instructors, and five hold the rank of sergeant. Of the nineteen inspectors .serving with the Navy, the ranks include chief petty officer telegraphist, chief sick berth steward, yeoman of signals, quar- termaster sergeant (Marines), six masters-at- arms, seven colour sergeants (Marines), and two chief petty officers. The men are serving in all branches of the service, embracing the Artillery, Cavalry, Mounted Police, R.A.M.C Infantry, Antiaircraft Oorpt, and mine- sweepers. Thus, of the fifty-six Inspectors, fifty-five either hold His Majesty's Commiesdon or are non-commissioned officers. For one organisation this enlistment for "King and Country" probably constitutes a record in the matter of rank. Many honorary officials of the Society are also serving with the colours in one capacity or another.

KIDWELLY NOTES. The annual vestry meeting was held in the Parish Room on Thursday the 8th inst. at 8 p.m. The Rev D. Ambrose Jones, M.A., the Vicar, presided, and referred to the position of the Church now that the Welsh Church Act was in operation. One thing was certain in so far as the parish was concerned, and that was, if he removedto another parish, the endowments would be transferred with him to his new parish. He pleaded for more generous contribution towards the various parochial organisations and more especially to the Curates' Fund which needed further aid. In the transitory period which awaited the church it wias of the utmost importance that the churchwardens should be men of experi- ence. Mr D. 0. Jones proposed the re-election of Mr H. E. Smarti as people's warden. Mr Smart possessed just the qualifications referred to by the Chairman. Mr W. D. James seconded, and the motion was carried unanimously-. The Vicar re-appointeid Mr W. Jones, Heol- f awr, as his warden, and paid a tribute to the work which Mr Jones in conjunction with Mr Smart, had rendered since he (the Vicar) took over the charge of the parish. The financial statement was presented by the Vicar's warden, who pointed out that the collections had fallen off during the year. There was an adverse balance of just over £10 Several questions were put and satisfac- torily disposed of, and the dccounts were passea sumect to f»eing audited. Messrs W. D. James and D. 0. Jones were appointed auditors. Messrs T. R. Wild and D. J. Hughes were added to the list of sidesmen. The Vicar expressed his thanks for the Easter offering he had received. A vote of thanks to the churchwardens, and a similar vote, to the Vicar for presiding, were carried on the motion of Mr W. D. James, seconded by Mr James Jones (Perenog), and th meeting terminated. The town during the past week has had a more than usual military flavour, as besides I batches of old "boys" home on furlough, the 61st Brigade R.F.A. have been passing daily to and fro between. Carmarthen and the training ground at Pembrey. The boom of guns has been almost incessant, and many of the inhabitants derived pleasure in watching the bursting of the shrapnel shells seaward. On the forward and return journeys, the batteries halted in Water street, where the horses were watered and fed, and the men were entertained by the residents, who rose to the occa.sian with characteristic ability. It was quite an interesting sight to see the good ladie sof this part of the town handing out refreshments to the gallant men in khaki, and the zest with which they entered into their labour of love does infinite credit to their kuidness of heart. Both officers and men of the Brigade were deeply appreciative of the kind offices of the Water street people, and in the words of one of the commissioned officers we say to them, "Thank you, very much." • The Rev Seth Joshua is this week conduct- ing a very successful mission under the aus- pipes of the local branch of the South Wales Free Church Council. The mission opened on Saturday last at the Moi'fh. C.M. Chapel, were the ministers and officers of the Free Churches of the town welcomed the reverend gentleman. Mission services were held on Sunday at Capel Sul (Ind.), Siloam (B.) and Morfa (C(M.) in the morning, afternoon and evening respectively, j.nere were very targe congre- gations at each of the meetings, and on Sun- day evening crowds came to hear the well- known evangelist. There was a. marked earnestness in the appeals of the missioner, who found a ready response f rom the several of whom came forward to joint the Christian Church for the first time. That the spiritual life of the churches will be intensified as a result of the mission is very evident, while everything seems to point to the fact that the simple Gospel story, when preached with the forcef ul eloquence-of such men as the Rev Seth Joshua, grips the heart of man to-day as it has done throughout the ages. The meetings are being continued at the Various chapels alternately every evening throughout the week, and the mission will close on Monday next when Mr Joshua will lecture on "The Story of My Life." There Should be a crowded audience. t" Mrs H. E. Smart presided at a well atten- ded meeting of the Belgian Refugees Com- mittee held at the Town Hall on Monday evening the 12th inst. The gift of a cwt. of potatoes from Mr Williams, Gletwyn, was re- ported and acknowledged with thanks. The treasurer, AM. W. Wilkins, who has recovered from his recent illness, returned thanks for the message of sympathy which the committee had sent him. The financial report was quite satisfactory, the contributions for the last week including a cheque for jE:2 158 from Dr T. R. Griffiths. The Secretary was instructed to convey to Dr Griffiths the thanks of the Committee for his donation. Reports as to the prospects of Messieurs Sauvage and Broohard securing employment as clerks in London were considered, and fur- ther enquiries were ordered to be made as to the conditions under which the former was employed. It was reported that Mr Muller had been engaged by Mr Muller at „Towy Castle, where Mr Nizet,, another refugee, has been employed for some weeks. It was decided to advise the refugees to make purchases at the shops of subscribers to the their orders to be placed alternately Several matters appertaining to the well- being of the refugees were discussed. A cheque for £5 in favour of Miss Griffiths, Herablas, was drawn to meet current expenses The next meeting was fixed for Monday at 6.30 p.m. <HHt An interesiJintg wedding was celebrated at 4 Horeb C.M., Mynyddygarreg, on Saturday last when Miss Jenkins, Llwynbarcud, was united in the holy ltonds of matrimony to Mr John Beynon, son of Mr W. Beynon, farmer, a former Town Councillor. The nuptial knot was made secure by the Rev D. Geler Owen (pasto,r). After the ceremony the bridal party motored to Llwynbarcud. where the wedding breakfast was partaken of. We wish I Mr and Mrs Beynon a long and prosperous wedded life. «## The death occurred on Saturday last of a much respected inhabitant in the person of Miss M. A. Williams, A Istred street, aged 60 years. Deceased was the daughter of the late Mr Henry Williams, farmer, Ladv street. She was a faithful member of St. Mary's Church, where the funeral took place en Wed- nesday afternoon. Much sympathy is ex- presed with her brothers and sisters in their sad bereavement.

The Lord Mayor, in proposing "Our Guest," and speaking as a Carmarthenshire man, re- feired to his pleasure and privilege earlier in the day in installing his fellow-country man, Mr Llewelyn Williams, as recorder of the only municipal city in the Principality. Mr W. Llewelyn Williams was an asset to Wales in more than one avenue, and as Carmarthen- shire men they rejoiced in his public advance- ment (applause). }:h% learned Recorder responded in a speech lull or humour and happy reminiscences. He said the pride winch lie feJt at being the honoured guest of his fellow-countrymen on so auspicious an occasion in his life could not find expression in words. He saw around him many dear old friends—some of them disguised as clerics-(l'aughter) and he felt a boy once more, glad in the possession of unbroken and cherished friendships, notwithstanding the many ways in which their several lots had been cast (hear, hear) When he saw so many ot them around him, holding influential and dominant positions, the thought that occurred to him was that Carmarthens-Iiii-e men must be astonished at their own moderation (hear, hear and laughter).

A sum of £ 1,500 was required for the whole unit which was to be despatched to Serbia forthwith. During the evening contributions were made, and the Secretary announced that JE10 had been subscribed in the room towards the sum required to equip a Carmarthenshire bed. Mr B. L. Daniel having sung some topical verses, Alderman C. H. Bird proposed "The Spiritual and^Temporal Forc'ts," and the Rev • Matthews, Newport, Col. Hepburn, and Major Ewan Maclean responded. Colonel Hepburn said that close upon 5,000 wounded and sick soldiery had been received at the 3rd Western General Hospital from France and Belgium, and of those only eight had died at the hospital. The Army as it existed to-day had been recruited from their own firesides, and in thn near future they would be called upon to stiffen their lips and hold their feelings back when they saw among the, iist of casualties the names of their own fol,k, men who had sat attheir own hearths.
