The Welsh Magazines.
The Welsh Magazines. "Y Geninen." Several literary articles of high' merit appear in the present number of our quarterly magazine—" Y Geninen." The whole issue teems with very many preg- nant things pertaining to the national life of Wales in its varying aspects. Perhaps the most interesting reminiscences are from the pen of that veteran preacher, the Rev. Griffith. Ellis, of Bootle. He has many interesting stories and memories of some of Wales' bygone scholars., notably of the late Dir. Lewis Edwards. Gwyliwr," an anonymous author, dis- cusses the New Religion, which it must he presumed to mean the New Theology. More than half the article is destructive, And derisive of the methods and dilettant- ism of those who adhere to their customary religion. Perhaos the following sentiment will give some idea of the, writer's stand- -!Point: The churches are only social Tlub.s, and poor ones even then; for the tetter, not the spirit, rules them." All religious action of the old, according to ithis writer, seems to end in talk, talk, italk. Religion, he maintains, changes, I and we do not believe as our' fathers did :fifty years ago. Nid ydyw hyd yn oed ■y rhai unionaf eu, cred bellach yn credu fel yr oeddis yn credu haner can' mlynedd Jiiol a thebyg y bydd newid mawr eil- walth yn mhen haner can' mlynedd eto. Daw crefydd newydd ar ol y grefydd newydd." The writer firmly maintains hat the new religion is steadily permeat- ing the pulpit and the pew, and it needs only the careful watching on the part of the leaders to keep people within the fold than that they should leave the churches, as they have done in Germany. How far the facts mentioned are true of Wales, the article does not state. Of the other articles, that on "The Bible in the Light of Modern Criticism 'V Beibl yn Ngoleuni Beirniadaeth iJdiweddar "), from the pen of D. Miall JSdwards, is very fresh and masterly. The subject is treated from five standpoints firstly, Revelation; secondly, the record- ing of the revelation thirdly, the record- Ing of a, progressive revelation; fourthly, revelation in history; and fifthly, reve- lation reaching its perfection in Jesus Christ. The .social side of Wales is discussed by AT' Davies in his article on "The floral Condition of Wales" (" Cyflwr •^loesol Oymrui"). It is very readable, and at times very piquant. He points out certain social evils which sap Welsh life, :alid which Nonconformity has failed to jetnedy. Whether these charges are to laid at the door of Nonconformity, or Whether it is the business of the Church reform them, we leave to abler pens. v0rne ,°f the evils which Nonconformity 5:as failed to cope with are the oppres- !on of the landowners, the prevalence of ^urris, the insanitary condition of rural ^Wellings, intemperance and illegitimacy, ^ays the writer —" The question which troubles me is, Has Nonconformity been a failure? Has it failed in convicting a certain section of our rich members to Whom prayer is nought, to whom a Smooth-tongued discourse concerning reli- gion is nothing, if they are, at the same time, guilty of oppressing the poor? Our hypocrisy as Nonconformists calls loudly on Heaven for the punishment of these oppressors in our midst, who are of our OWn doing." The article deserves the careful attention of all social workers, be they of whatever light or creed. That vIls exist, no one denies but the problem J' Who should remedy them? Christian nurclies can do much, public opinion can 0 a great deal, and local authorities can 1S0 do much to mitigate these all-too- ,()Mnlon evils. Other important articles are Deddfau oleuni," by Dr. Owen; Adfywiad Man ^nhedloedd Ewrob," by L. J. Roberts; Calvin," by D. Tecwyn Evans; c,"ri°d D_dulliau'r Gymraeg/' by D. aniuel; and lyrics, englynion, notes and HUeries, all making an excellent number.

There is a very striking passage in this article, wherein Mr. Evans makes a com- parison with other languages.

Alun.
Alun. Alun is the twenty-second volume of that splendid series known as Cyfres y Pil." Alun is the bardic name of the Rev. John! Blackwell, and .this little volume of 120 pages contains some of the best pieces of that poetic writer. In it are — "Genedigaeth lorwerth II. Buddugol- iaetli Groeg," Maes Garmon," and many of his letters. His work betrays sensp of ease, and fluency of expression worthy of the masters. His early life was a constant struggle, and a yearning for knowledge. He was twenty six when he went to Oxford, and his life was the precursor to that of many other Welsh youths. Writing from Oxford in the year .1 1826, he sai-s:To him, who in his 26th year learnt his Greek alphabet, a first class at college must be a hopeless aim; while an University prize must be beyond the reach of one who merely began to speak English about his twentieth year." Yet he graduated, and became one of the leading litterateurs of his age. Eos Cymru oedd Alun,—yn felus a dwys yr erys ei nodau yn nghlust ei genedl."

There is more than economy to recommend Brown & Poison's "Patent" Com Flour although it does go so much further than ordinary corn flours. No other possesses that delicious nutty flavour which is one of the chief charms of Blancmange when served with Stewed Fruit, or Custard and Fruit, now in full season.

Romance of a Medicine Advertisement.
Romance of a Medicine Advertisement. ORIGIN OF A LIVERPOOL WEDDING. ARTIST ENAMOURED WITH A PHOTO- GRAPH IN A NEWSPAPER. A pretty little romance has just had its climax in a Liverpool church. However much we may decry newspaper advertise- ments, it occasionally happens that they have their uses in unexpected directions. It is to a, photograph in a proprietary medicine advertisement accidentally seen that Mr. E. W. Ei. Bailey is grateful for having introduced him to his happy bride. The romantic story can be briefly told as follows. Nearly three years ago, when Mr. Bailev was a grocers' assistant in Margate, but with artistic ambitions which have since lifted him above the weighing,out of kegs of butter, he saw the face of Miss Emmeline Perry, of Liverpool, looking at him from the pages of his morning, paper. From the accompanying letterpress he learned that the face was not a mere ideal head drawn by a brother artist, but a reproduction from a nhotograph of Miss Perry, who, out of gratitude for her rescue by Chas. Forde's Bile Beans from a. trying illness, had sent a testimonial for publication. The testimonial bore Miss Perry's full postal address, and Mr. Bailey, evidently a believer in love at first sight, promptly wrote to the lady. He must have suc- ceeded in transferring to paper some eloquent fragrance of his ardent passion, for the lady modestly replied, having; first secured the permission of her parents. That was the beginning, of a correspond- ence which rapidly became a daily inter- change. Month after month passed, how- ever, before these tstrangely-found lovers saw each other face to face, for many weary miles lie between Liverpool and Margate. But the meeting, came at last, for the ardent young grocer-artist devoted his first holiday to a 600 miles cycling journey to the Mersey city, and returned more deeply in love than ever. Mr. Bailey decided on a bold step. He severed his connection with Margate, and came north to Liverpool, armed with only a very small capital, tremendous ambition, and the one determination to hasten with a home for himself and his fiancee. That was a little over twelve months ago, and he had much trouble to pass through. His savings dwindled, and at last he had to go back to the drudgery of the grocer counter. At length he sent in his resig- nation as counterman at the great Liver- pool store where he was employed, and was re-appointed to design and supply artistic posters and showcards. The new departure proved successful. In short, this truly up-to-date romance, during which the mutual ardour of those strangely introduced lovers never wavered for an instant, has reached a happy climax to the sound of wedding bells. It is probably unprecedented for < a family medicine to act as matrimonial agent, but this will not make the grati- tude of Mr. and Mrs. Bailey to Chas. Forde's Bile Beans any the less lasting and sincere.

Ton-Pentre Police Court. Monday.—Before the Stipendiary (Mi1. D. Lleufer Thomas), Messrs. T. P. Jen- kins, Enoch Davies, D. W- Davies, and Alderman Richard Lewis. GAMING AT CLYDACH VALE.

Witts said that on Sunday, 27th ult., he saw all. the defendants playing cards on the footpath leading from Clyclacli Vale to Garw. He also saw money passing, between them. P.O. Thorburn corroborated, and said that, when apprehended, the defendants admitted the offence. The following; fines were imposed: — Anthony Jones, 30s. Robt. Roberts, 10s. Wm. Jones, tl; David Rees, 10s.; Danl. Rees, 15s. Thos. Roberts, 10s. FELL THROUGH PLATE-GLASS WINDOW. Dennis Morrisey, collier, Ton-Pentre, was charged with drunkenness. P.O. Rowe said that defendant had fallen through a plate-glass window, and was quite incapable of taking care of him- self. He was taken to the Police Station, and liberated on bail the following morn- ing. A fine of 10s. was imposed. CARRIED TO POLICE STATION. William Hart, labourer^ Stanleytown, was charged with assaulting P.C.'s Edwards and Higgerson, Ferndale, and also committing an indecent act on the Taff Vale Railway Station at Ferndale. Mr. Norman Ingledew (Messrs. Ingledew and Sons, Cardiff) prosecuted. P.O. Edwards said that on Saturday evening last he saw prisoner committing an indecent act at the Ferndale Railway Station. When spoken to, prisoner became very violent and struck witness in the chest. He was eventually secured. When P.C. Higgerson arrived on the scene lie was taken on to the highway, but they had not proceeded a dozen yards before prisoner threw himself to the ground, and kicked witness on the leg, at the same time holding on to P.O. Higgerson's tunic with his teeth. With the assistance of another constable and a civilian he was carried all the way to the Police Station. The Stipendiary said that the Bench were determined to put down offences of this kind, and imposed fines amounting to £ 6, or nine weeks' imprisonment, in respect of the three charges. THE LODGING-HOUSE BRAWL, Thomas Butler, labourer, was brought up on remand charged with doing grievous bodily harm to Martin Power, lodging-house keeper, Gelligaled Road, Ystracl, by kicking him under the jaw. The evidence, as given at the last hear- ing, was repeated, which was to the effect that whilst Power was picking up one of two men engaged in a fight, he was kicked by prisoner1 under the jaw, his chin being- shattered. Dr. Costello said that he had attended Power, who was now progressing favour- ably, though not out of danger. Evidence of arrest was given by P.O. Batten, and prisoner was committed to take his trial at the Assizes. NEGLECTED WIFE AND CHILDREN. Fredk. Street, labourer, of no fixed abode, was charged with neglecting his wife and two children, who since May, 1906, had become chargeable to the Ponty- pridd Guardians. Prisoner had served several previous terms of imprisonment on the same charge. He was sentenced to three months' hard labour. THE "TE,RRITORIAL'S" HORSE. William Williams, collier, Pentre, was summoned for riding a horse to the danger of the public. Mr. D. W. Jones, Pentre, appeared to defend. P.S. James said that on 26th ult. he saw defendant riding; a horse in Llewellyn Street, Pentre. Witness saw him strike the horse with a whip, and the animal galloped down the street at a furious rate, causing the stones on the road to fly in all directions. Witness called upon him to stop, but he passed on. When subsequently spoken to, defendant said that lie could not hold the animal in. Defendant, on oath, said that he was a, member of the Army Service Corps, and was returning from practice. As he walS passing a tramear, the horse shied, and would have backed into a shop window. Witness struck him with a whip, and he bolted, and the greatest difficulty was ex- perienced in pulling him up. The Stipendiary said that the Bench were very anxious that young men belong- ing to the Corps should not bring it into discredit. Defendant was discharged with a caution. A BACKYARD FIGHT. Evan Owen, Ton, summoned Thomas Evans and John Bunford, Ton, for assault. Complainant said that on July 1st lie went to the back of the Windsor Hotel, Ton, when the two defendants pitched on to him. Bunford held him while Evans punched him. Complainant had never quarrelled with these men before, neither had he any ill-feeling towards them. John Bunford, on oath, said that he and Evans were in the Windsor Hotel together. Evans went out to the back- yard, and after a while he followed him, and when he got to the yard he saw Owen and Evans fighting. Evans shouted to him to stop Owen, as he was too strong for him. He went to stop them, and caught hold of Owen and pulled him away, when Evans struck complainant again. Evans, being absent, was fined 20s., and Bunford 15s. TRESPASSING ON T.V.R.
