Under the auspices of ,the Wesley Guild, a meeting was held in the schoolroom on Wednesday evening, March 2nd, when a paper was read by Mr. Frank Arnold, Trecynon, entitled, An Evening with the Right Hon. D. Lloyd George, M.P."

Poole are presenting the finest show and the brightest talent at the New The- atre this week. The Mvrioramic effects are good, whilst the clever mechanical production, the Contest in the- Clouds," is simply brilliant. The Royal Banzais, the clever Japanese family of equilibrists, contortionists, etc., go through very dar- ingperformances. Mr. W. L. Rowland is a veritable Dan Leno. Sydney Bach, I the Welsh entertainer, plays the piano with his feet, standing' on his head, and backwards. The Bros. Conchas are very clever in their unique athletic display, and so are Inez and Pim. Miss Inez is the only lady in the profession who can perform on the parallel bars. The Cairo Trio are very original in their musical act. The animated pictures are wonder- fully good, especially the one 'depicting The Battle in the Air." TRINITY.—"My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God (Psalms 42, 2), My heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God" (Psalms 84, 2). It was on these two texts that the Rev. J. Lewis Jenkins based his sermon at Trinity on Sunday evening. Man, declared Mr. Jenkins, was inherently a religious crea- ture. Religion, however, was not church- going, or intellectual assent to certain doctrines. Neither was it morality. Re- ligion was the invisible activity of the soul when it saw God. A man could have religion without being religious. The craving for communion with the Unseen was common to all men. There was not a community or tribe of men in the world who did not possess some aspiration- some longing for God. He hoped to meet in Heaven members of the Anglican Church, and even the Church of Rome and Unitarian Church—all kinds of men, even pagans who were honestly and sin- cerely seeking God.

MINORITY REPORT OF THE POOR LAW COMMISSION. Dear Mr. Editor,—In the first place let me a-k your indulgence for a few lines on the above. Let me also at the outset say that I have no knowledge whatsoever of the above report except that it does exist, and it is with the value thereof as a report that I am now con- cerned as a member of the- community. One so frequently hears the above report mentioned, and i will go further and say that one of the' candidates for the Mer- thyr Borough in the last election was asked in a meeting which I attended whether lie was in favour of the propos-. als contained therein, and it is this fre- quent dishing up, as it were, that has at- tracted my attention to a statement that appeared in print quite recently. The statement to which I refer is that the Report was nominally the work of fc.ur or five persons, but that three of the signatories thereto could not have en- hanced its value, for as soon as the report on England was completed, Mr. and Mrs. AVehb claimed copyright in the recom- mendations of the minority." From this it would appear that the report was really the work of Mr. and Mrs. SVebb, or more probably Mr. Webb alone, other- wise they would not have claimed copy- right in the same in exclusion of the other signatories thereto. If this be so. does not the report lose a great deal of its essence? Does not the claiming of copyright therein indicate a motive other than the consideration of the community? AVould it not have been far nobler if the Minority Report—in- stead of its circulation being restricted by copyright—had been scattered freely through the land for the benefit of the community? A report, on whatever sub- ject it might chance to be, derives its value through the fact of absence of bias or self-interest from the mind of the maker thereof, and as soon as the mind becomes influenced by extraneous matters the report is not the result of a mature, deliberate and. unbiassed consideration, and consequently loses its efficacy. I will not vouch for the accuracy of the news- paper report referred to by me, but I feel confident that the same is correct, and I would commend those who are prone to refer to the Minority Report to investi- gate the matter further, and. if the question of copyright is correct, to con- sider whether the same is an absolutely impartial and maturely considered report of some four or five persons on a matter which vitallv affects every member of the public. I might in conclusion say that up till now I had, through hearing the same so often, regarded the Minority ReL port as unbiassed, but if I were now asked to read the same I think I should proceed with no small amount of sus- picion in the light of attendant circum- stances. Is the report the work of Mr. and Mrs. Webb-or rather Mr. Webb alone—if, so. did he, prior to the making thereof, contemplate obtaining the. copy- right therein, and thus making capital thereof, I wonder? If the authors of the Minority Report had bona fide thought of something for the betterment of man- kind, then why not let the world know it, and not endeavour to conceal it by means of copyright.—Yours, etc., < Aberaman. W. T. HOWELL.
r.: !THE DEITY OF CHRIST.
r.: THE DEITY OF CHRIST. Sir,—If Mr. Davies were merely plead- ing that Jesus partakes of "the nature of God we would both agree. There would' then be no dispute. AA'hat I affirm is that- there is only one God and Father of All, who is over all, through all, and :n all," and that He is Hot the Lc rd Jesus Christ, but that the One God and Father of All is "the God and Father of\our Lord Jesus Christ." These are New Testament statements. They affirm that God is the one and sole su- preme being, and that Jesus is not that One God, but the Son and the subject, the servant, of God. We are all partakers of the divine nature, and Jesus Christ is pa 1 taker of the divine nature in a supreme degree, more than anyone else. He partakes of it so fully that He is the Revealer of' the Father. But he is the Revealer of the Father and not the Father Himself, and therefore not God, i.e.. not the One God and Father of All, who alone is God. Jesus Christ is God manifested in the flesh," but so are we all God manifest in the flesh, and Paul prays that we may all be filled with the fulness of God, i.e., that we may be filled with (^ecl even as Jesus Christ was, and the day is coming when God will 'he All in All.' Then, it seems to me, the in- carnation began in Jesus Christ will be completed in the whole human race. The Bible is not a fable, but a very good book. It is the best, we believe.' on its own theme. But it is not an infallible book. AVe must judge the Bible as we judge any other good book by the high- est and best we know. There is no other reasonable way of treating the Bible. Ir. Davies seems to think that the Bible decides for him what is true. This is not so. It is Mr. Davies who by the light of his own intellect and conscience that decides what is true even in the Bible. If r. Davies will do his duty in this matter, and do his own thinking, and not let even his minister do it for him, he will soon feel "sure who is right," and will find the "place where the weary, heavy laden anxious soul can rest. How ready we are to conclude the person who differs from ourselves is er- roneous and guilty of' teaching and so misleading the people! According to his light. Mr. Davies is trying to help and to warn me. According to my light I want also to help Mr. Davies." I have been where Mr. Davies thinks he is. I found it would not work. It cost me much to 1, c give up the old and crude way of looking at these great questions. But the free- dom of the spirit is better than the fet- ters of the orthodox faith. What a. com- fort it is that we stand and fall by our Good Master's judgment, an4 not by that o.f one another. It is clearly admitted that Jesus is divine. I think it is quite as clear that Jesus Christ is not his n Gcd and Father, and the One God and Father of All. To me it is quite as clear that he is not a "mixture of somebody else or of something else." There is no such mixture. All is of God. Hence all is divine, i.e., all partakes of the nature of God. God is divine, and out of divine Being nothing but the divine can come. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit. So there is no mixture. All is one life. This one life is the One God and Father of All. The garment of deity is the en- tire manifested universe, the greatness of which net even the mightiest minds of men have yet conceived. In this visible and vaft manifested universe the eternal spirit of life is ever dressing and- adorn- ing himself, glorying for ever in express- ing' His Infinite Beauty, Truth, and Goodness that can never be fully reveal- ed. To say that even Jesus Christ, much as we love and revere him, is this infinite and eternal whole of being who is love, truth, and beauty is a misuse of words, and tends to make the Great Master to look clumsy and ridiculous even as David did in Saul's armour.—Yours, etc., M. EVANS.
