The Passing of the King-
The Passing of the King- Rhondda Mourns Dead Monarch. Touching Tributes in Church and Chapel. Solemn Street Processions. In no part of his world-wide dominions was the late King held in greater affec- tion and respect than in the Rhondda. His solicitous regard for Welsh miners, ais sympathetic interest in the hazardous Mature of their occupation, his gracious ttiessages of condolence in times of death and disaster in the mine, had all served Jo endear and enshrine his person and Throne in their warm reciprocal hearts. ^owhere, also, is his death more sincerely lamented than amidst the forbidding hills under which the Rhondda. miner Plies hits dangerous calling, and it was only in accordance with the fitness of things that on Friday last the Valley should have donned its sombre garb of deepest mourning and that its people should bow their heads in silent sympathy as in far-away Windsor the mortal Remains of a great and gracious Monarch ^7ere being gathered to the last resting place of his fathers. Everywhere there were silent tokens of Aspect to his memory. Business was entirely suspended, all the collieries were Idle, shops were shuttered and barred, Public-houses, clubs and skating rinks closed their doors for several hours during the day,. and even the train and tram services were suspended for ten minutes after one o'clock. It was a hushed world that spoke its tones of deepest sympathy, and silence, ever proclaims loudest the innermost yearnings of the soul! It is in the spiritual that the stricken heart always finds its surest solace, and the black-coated, sober miened crowds turned instinctively to the numerous Memorial services held throughout the Valley during the day. Every little Bethel, as well as the more ornate edifices Of the Established Church, were filled with silent worshippers who felt and grayed for the Family rendered prostrate with grief. Sorrow brings the world into closer kinship than treaties and tariffs. TONYPANDY. At Tonypandy, a long procession, which ltQluded the members of the Police Force, Tonypandy Fire Brigade, the Llwyny- and Clydach Yale Ambulance Corps, TK°stmen? &c., headed by the Hibernia p'&ss Band playing funeral marches, ded its way to the Parish Church of Andrew's, Llwynypia, where. the sacred edifice was crowded to its utmost opacity, hundreds who were unable to gaIn admittance remaining outside listen- 2n.g to the music inside. The church was tastefully draped in Purple, the font, in particular, attracting special attention, being artistically draped 4ncl wreathed with white flowers. The service was in accordance with the Socially prepared form, and included the •Ring's favourite hymn, O God, our help rp} ages. past," and Lead, Kindly Light." j he^ choir rendered Stainer's anthem, What are these clad in white robes," Miss Minnie Howell sang Mendel- sohn's, 0 rest in the.

The ser- throughout was one that even the 0gest present will be hardly likely to forget.

The Passing of the King-
A. C. Rose (Wesleyan). The rev. gentle- man said that the loss of a king was a great loss to a nation, but King Edward was no ordinary king; he was one who made .himself, not only a ruler, but a friend and a brother. Several hymns were impressively rendered, and the Dead March in Saul was played by the organist, Mr. Bowen. The Welsh service was held at Bethania (C.M.), Llwynypia. The Rev. E. Richards, Tonypandy, conducted the meeting, and paid a glowing tribute to the late King. The following ministers then took part in prayer, interspersed with hymns: — The Revs. M. H. Ellis, Seion (C.M.), Tre- alaw J. Nicholas, Moriah (W.B.), Tony- alaw; J. Nicholas, Moriah (W.B.), Tony- pandy and T. G. Jenkyn, Salem, Llwynypia. Mr. Gwilym Williams, Tony- pandy, presided at the organ. DINAS. Memorial services were held at the Dinas Mission Church. The local clergy officiated, with Mr. George Evans, The services were well attended. HEBREW CONGREGATION. A memorial service in memory of King Edward was held at Evans' Hall. Pandy Square, on Friday evening, which was very well attended by the Jewish people. The service was conducted by the Rev. S. Shrieburg, of Bolton. PENTRE. At Pentre a procession was formed at the Drill Hall, headed by the Cwmparc Band, in the following order —Rhondda Territorial Army Service Corps (under the command of Major R. C. Dyke), local police (under Inspector Edwards), Pentre Fire Brigade (Captain Newbury), the Boy Scouts and Church Lads' Brigade. The parade was to St. Peter's Church, where a special service was held. The ceremony, which was of an impressive nature, was, conducted by Canon W. Lewis, R.D. The church was draped in black, and special hymns were sung. The selected anthem was, I heard a voice from Heaven," the solo being beautifully rendered by Mr. Owen- Trehariie. Taking as his text, All go unto one place; all are of the dust. and all turn to dust again (Eccles. iii. 20), Canon Lewis said that death was the great universal leveller. It had no pity. The poor were not spared, and kings had to submit their pomp and magnificence beneath its stroke. The sad event which had called them together was another illustration of the truth conveyed in the words of the text. They lamented the death of a King-one of the mightiest monarchs of the earth, the ruler of the greatest Empire the world had ever seen, and in his death the world was so much the poorer. He was a great and a wise King, a father of his people, one whose great statesmanship, unfailing kindness, firm tact, and untiring energy had risen to a greatness that would not be realised for some years to come. It was their children, and their children's children, who perhaps would know the intensity of his efforts to promote peace among the nations of the world. How thoroughly he deserved the honourable designation, Edward the Peacemaker." Whether they viewed his life as King, man, or Christian, they would find much to admire, and abundant cause for thankful- ness that such a King had reigned over them. The Free Churches' memorial service (Welsh) was held at Nazareth in the morning, and an English service at Wesley Chapel. Both services were largely attended. YSTRAD-RHONDDA. At Bodringallt Chapel, the Ystrad- Rhondda Free Church Council held an impressive service. The Revs. T. D. Jones (pastor), Hugh Curre, Messrs. T. Powell and Thomas Elvans feelingly referred to the lamented Monarch. The organist of the church (Mr. S. John) played the Dead March," and Welsh hymns were effectively sung. The congregation in- cluded the Ystrad-Rhondda Ambulance Division. PORTH. Friday will ever remain a memorable day in the history of Forth. Memorial services were held at the various churches —Established and Nonconformist. Pre- vious to the services, a united procession took place of all the organised bodies. The procession was nearly a mile in length and was in the following order — Cymmer Brass Band, the Police, Terri- torials, veterans and Reservists, the Porth Fire Brigade, Lady Lewis and Cymmer Ambulance Brigades, Church Lads,' Brigade, John Pugh Memorial Hall Boys' Brigade, Boy Scouts, postal staff and tramway employees, Lewis Merthyr Silver Band. Porth Chamber of Trade. Sunday School children, Friendly Societies, and the general public. No banners or flags of any description were carried, but the uniformed bodies wore crape upon their right sleeve whilst the societies and children wore medallions and the photo of King Edward. Thousands of people lined the streets as the proces- sion marched slowly by. The chief marshal was Inspector J. Williams, assisted by Mr. Williams (Bon) and other gentlemen. Starting at the Llwyncelyn Hotel, they traversed Primrose, Terrace, returning through Leslie Terrace, up through the Parade, down North Road and up again through Hannah Street, and breaking up at the Cymmer Bridge. Here the Cymmer Brass Band and the Lewis Mer- thyr Band played the Dead March in Saul," after which the organised bodies and Friendly Societies proceeded with the Cymmer Band up through High Street to St. John's Church, Cymmer; whilst the Sunday Schools divided and went to the various churches. At St. John's Church, the Revs. Wm. Thomas (vicar of Porth), R. J. Martin, R. Thomas, and Mr. J. Starke conducted the memorial service. The Vicar paid eloquent tributes to the late King. He described his char- acteristics, his benevolence, his thought- fulness and love for his people, .and his passion for peace. The Vicar closed his sermon by expressing a hope that the mantle of Edward the Peacemaker would fall iipon George V. References were also made to the entombed miners at White- haven, and a collection was, made on their behalf. Dr. R. D. Chalke, M.A., Mr. G. Roberts and Mr. Enos George delivered addresses at Bethania. The Rev. J. Edwards, Mrs. R. D. Chalke, the Revs. W. H. Thomas, F. Turp and others held services at Bethlehem, Primitive Metho- dist, and St. James' Church; while the Rev. R. E. Salmon and the Adjutant of the Salvation Army conducted services at Tabernacle. At Salem (W.B.) Chapel, the Rev. Oscar Owen presided, and addresses were delivered by the Revs. H. W. Thomas, John Edwards and J. Rees. In each of these churches the Dead March in Saul was played. TREHERBERT. Memorial services were held at Tre- herbert at St. Mary's Church, at Horeb Chapel, and at the Salvation Army Hall. Before the service at St. Mary's Church, the Treherbert Corps of the St. John Ambulance Association and the members of the Treherbert Conservative Club pro- ceeded in procession through the streets to the church, where the service was con- ducted by the Rev. J. D. Evans (vicar). During the service, the favourite hymns of both the late King and Queen Alexandra were sung by the large con- gregation. At the end of the meeting, the Dead March in Saul" was played on the church organ with great effect' by Miss James. The united memorial service was held at Horeb Chapel, under the auspices of the Treherbert and District Free Church Council, and lasted for over two hours. The edifice was well filled. The Rev. T\ Davies, Blaenrhondda, presided, and addresses were delivered by the Revs. J. C. Jones, J. N. Elias, H. Harris, and T. Jones, Councillor Enoch Davies, J.P. and Mr. G. Galloway.

At Bethlehem Chapel (which was appropriately draped in deep mourning cloth), a special memorial ser- vice was conducted by Mr. Howell Howells (the Schools), under the auspices of the Free Churches of the district, the Church of England also being prominently represented. Among the speakers were Dr. Morris (Noddfa), Revs. D. Rhagfyr Jones and W. J. Britton. In the morn- ing. the Rev. J. D. Thomas conducted a special service at St. Tyfodwe Church, and a similar service was held at St. Matthew's. FERNDALE.
