Nodion Llywarch Hen Ysgydwodd Sior y 5ed a'r Ymerawdwr Wil- liam ddwylaw yn eu dagrau ger arch eu car a'u I cyfaill yn Eglwys Westminster. Nerth a gaffont i rodio yn ei gamrau ef. Duw a'u cadwo rhag cynen dynion, a rhag y dynion a'u harwain i anghydfod. Bydded iddynt ddal eu llaw yn drom ar garn y cledd, fel na fedro gwyr gwaedlyd ei ddadweinio. Yn ddiddadl, bu marw y Brenin yn foddion heddwch fel ei fy.wyd. Daeth Bren- hinoedd i'w arwyl, nid yn unig i gladdu Brenin Prydain, ond hefyd cyfaill calon eu gwledydd hwythau. Parchasant hwy y teyrn a hunodd, a pharchwyd hwythau ar ddydd ei arwyl. Hedd- wch flaguro yn y cysawdiau, a boed y dagrau yn wlith i dangnefedd. Yn ol yr adroddiadau, ni welwyd yn y deyrnas hon ddim mwy urddasol nag angladd y Brenin. Trodd holl frwdaniaeth arferol Llundain yn alar dwys a gweddaidd. Yr oedd ei angladd fel ei fywyd, yn ddolen gydiol rhwng gwreng a bon- heddig. Yr oedd prudd-der gwedd y pendefig yn ymasio a dagrau grudd y gwerinwr. Wrth ganu Salm glyn marwolaeth, ddaeth y ddau pell yn agos. Niddarllenais ddim a darodd ei dant fel un peth a welais mewn darlun o'r orymdaith. Yn yr angladd, yn agosaf i'r arch, tywysid ceffyl y Brenin, a'r cyfryw'n wag ar ei gefn. Cerddai'r march yn angladd ei farchogwr. Cenadwri ddwys yw cenadwri'r lie gwag. Llanwvd yr Orsedd eisoes. Ond bydd y gadair yn wag yn y teulu, a'r lle'n wag wrth y bwrdd. Gan dynu fe dyn y lie gwag ddeigryn distaw o'r llygaid, ac ochenaid leddf o'r galon. Heb iaith nac ym- adrodd, nid oes le ar na chlybuwyd eu lleferydd hwynt. Medrodd pawb gydalaru am ein Brenin marw yn Ystafelloedd Cynghorau, ac ar yr heol; ym mhob man, ond yn ein llefydd addoli. Gormod tasg i'n duwioldeb cul oedd coffa am dano, diolch am ei waith, na gofyn bendith ar ei olynydd, yng nghyd a chytun yn yr un o'r llefydd ag y mae pawb yn gydradd ynddynt ger bron Duw. Dewisodd thai fanau cyftredin fel y Neuaddau Cyhoeddus, am nad oedd enw Crist yn ol Shib- boleth neb ar y manau hyny. Nid 4 Rheithior plwy i gapel Ymneilltuol, am fod hwnw yn halogi ei swydd offeiriadol. Nid a'r Ymneill- tuwyr i'r eglwys, am na chant ran na chyfran yn y gwasanaeth sectau a sentars ydynt yno. Y mae'r ymddygiad yn addfed ffrwyth Phari- seaeth ein henwadaeth. Erys yn y wlad tra parhao dynion i barchu allanolion crefydd yn fwy na'i gwirionedd, a pharchu dynion yn fwy na Duw. Ond y mae'r wedd wladol yn rhwym o newid cyn hir. Os yw'r Wladwriaeth i sefyll, os hona hawl i noddi un math ar grefydd rhaid i'r sect hono fod yn nes i egwyddor a threfn crefydd y Testament Newydd, na'r un o'r sectau presenol. Yr ydym led unfryd ar egwyddorion pwysig crefydd, ein mawr ofal calon am yr us sydd yn ein hysgar i'r corlanau-yn ddefaid eraill. Ymneilltuodd sylfaenwyr Eglwys Loegr, a chodasant gangen Eglwys yn brotest yn erbyn y gangen o Eglwys Crist a ymlygrodd. Cymer- odd y Tadau Ymneilltuol gamrau hollol debyg, ymneilltuasant o'r Eglwys newydd, am ei bod yn coledd ynddi ei hun rai o ofer bethau yr Eg- lwys Babaidd. Wrth lygredd cysglud a phethau y digiasant hwy, a rhai pethau, fel gwenwisg ac allor, yn bethau digon dibwys. Cwyd enwad eto cyn hir. Casgla carwyr gwirionedd yng nghyd yn Ymneilltuaeth oddi wrth y balchter a'r hunan sy'n ysu Pabyddion, Eglwyswyr, ac Ym- neilltuwyr.

LLANDDULAS. MARWOLAETH MR. KYFFIN WILLIAMS. —Dydd Mercher, Mai y i8fed, collodd Llan- ddulas un o'i dynion goreu, yn yr oedran o 79 mlwydd. Un o golofnau yr achos yng Nghapel Caersalem ydoedd Mr. Williams. Yr oedd felly yn rhinwedd ei fywyd pur a'i Gristionogaeth gref ac ymarferol. Er wedi treulio ei oes yn y lie, ac wedi rhoddi i bawb flynyddau lawer o amser i'w adnabod, yr oedd fwy-fwy ei barch o hyd. Mor anhawdd ydyw byw i fyny a chredo! Mor ychydig ydyw nifer y rhai adwaenom ag y mae eu bywyd yn ffitio eu proffes! Ond dyma hen wr a fu farw yn llawn parch gan ei holl gydnabod. Gwr annysgedig yn ol y byd, ond un wedi graddio yn uchel yn ysgol yr Athraw Mawr O mor hiraethus ydoedd y brodyr yn y Seiat nos Fercher—tua deuddeg awr wedi iddo roddi ei anadliad olaf! Wedi i'r gwein- idog, y Parch. J. Enoch, ddarllen a gweddio, gofynnodd i amryw am adnod o brofiad, ond methodd y naill ar ol y Hall ddweyd gair: daeth rhyw donn o ddistawrwydd tros y cynhull- iad. Yn wir, effeithiodd hyn gymaint ar Mr. Enoch fel nas gallai yntau ddweyd gair. Y canlyniad fu iddynt ymwahanu ymhen ugain mynud heb ddweyd gair ymhellach. Tystiai y gweinidog wrthyf wedi hynny na welodd y fath beth erioed. Hiraeth anorchfygol ydoedd yma am gwmni gwr duwiol, ac yr ydoedd yn dyst- iolaeth ardderchog i'w gymeriad rhagorol. Ganwyd Kyffin Williams, Hydref yr IIeg, 1831, yn Rhydyfoel. Arferai ei dad edrych ar ol y Coal Storehouse ar y traeth yn Llanddulas. Pan yn Rhydyfoel, yr oedd yn aelod gyda'r Wesleyaid, ond pan y cychwynwyd yr achos Anibynnol yn Llanddulas ymunodd ag ef, tua'r flwyddyn 1858. Yma gwasanaethodd fel blaen- or am tua 43 o flynyddoedd, ac efe ydoedd y blaenor hynaf pan y bu farw. Gweithiodd yn chwarel Llanddulas ar hyd ei oes. Ei briod ydoedd Mary Roberts, o Eglwys Bach—chwaer i'r Parch. Michael Roberts fu unwaith yn wein- idog y M.C. yn Vale-road, Rhyl, ac wedi hynny yn Ficer yn Swydd Lincoln. Bu hi farw Gorff- ennaf 3oain, igoi. Daeth tyrfa o dros dri chant o'r pentrefwyr i'r cynhebrwng ddydd Sadwrn diweddaf, pan y rhoddwyd yr ymadawedig i orffwys ym Mynwent Llanddulas. O'r teulu agosaf yr ydoedd yn bresenol Thomas a Samuel Williams (meibion), Mrs. Poole (merch) a Mr. Poole, Penmaenmawr; Mrs. Jones, Liverpool (merch), a'u plant. Wrth y ty dgrllenwyd a gweddiwyd gan y Parch. J. Enoch, y gweinidog, a gweddiwyd gan y Parch. Wilson Roberts., Yn yr Eglwys ac wrth y bedd gwasanaethwyd gan Canon Roberts. Cyn ymadael oddiwrth y bedd canwyd ei hoff emyn, sef Am graig i adeil- adu," ond anhawdd iawn ydoedd canu ynghanol dagrau wrth golli gwr mor anwvl. Bydded i'w fywyd fod yn esiampl barhaus i'r rhai ddaethant o dan ei ddylanwad yn Llan- ddulas a'r cylch. Yn wir rhaid fod hwn wedi cael mynediad helaeth i mewn i lawenydd ei Arglwydd.—PEDK ALAW.

Cafwyd canu rhagorol o dan ar- weiniad medrus Mr. T. R. Williams, Trefriw, yr hwn a gyflawnodd ei waith i foddlonrwydd pawb. Ond y mae amryw, fel fy hunan, o'r farn fod yn llawn bryd bellach newid ein har- weinyddion canu, a chael rhai o'r tuallan i gylch ein Cymanfa i arwain. Pob parch i'r ar- weinyddion lleol am eu gwasanaeth da a gwerthfawr yn y gorffennol. Paham na chawn rai newyddion i'n harwain, fel mannau eraill? Wrth edrych dros Fantolen Cymanfa 1909, gwelaf fod yn llaw y Trysorydd dros £ 20, ac felly nid diffyg arian yw y rheswm. Gallasant dalu yn anrhydeddus am wasanaeth rhai di- eithr. Deallaf fod Cymanfa y flwyddyn nesaf i'w chynnal yn Llandudno, a gobeithiaf yn fawr y bydd i'r holl gynrychiolwyr gymeryd y mater pwysig hwn i'w hystyriaeth yn ddioed, ac y gwelwn ddiwygiad yn hyn o beth. Ef- allai y bydd gan rhywun arall air i'w ddweyd ar y mater, canys yn awr yw'r amser i ystyried hyn.—Ydwyf, &c., AELOD O'R CYLCH.

I Llanrwst and the Late King. FRIDAY'S MEMORIAL SERVICES. At Llanrwst, on Friday, the day of the funeral I of King Edward, special services were held. The Parish Church was crowded with a con- gregation representing all classes. The Church was beautifully draped for the occasion with black, purple, and white, and over the archway was a lovely laurel wreath with streamers of Royal colours, in the centre of which were the letters E.R.I." The decorations had been been carried out by Mrs. Watling, Mrs. Roberts (Ehiwlas), and Miss Hill, and the wreathings were made by Mr. George Chisholm. As the clergy entered, the organ pealed forth the peace- ful tones of Mendelssohn's 0 rest in the Lord," after which the hymn "Nearer, my God, to Thee," was sung. The service was taken by the Rector, and the Rev. J. Titley Williams read the lessons. Other hymns sung were Peace, perfect peace," 0 God our help," and Lead, kindly light," and the 90th Psalm. was chanted. A short address was delivered by the Rector, who said:—Nine years ago we met under similar circumstances in this Church. At that time it was to commemorate the death of our beloved Queen Victoria. To-day we mourn the death of her great son and successor, King Edward VII. But the grief to-day exceeds that of nine years ago, unexampled as that was. We are sorrowing to-day for an uncompleted life, the life of one whose work was unfinished, and from whom so much was expected. The whole country is under the shadow of a great loss, and the Empire has suffered a stupendous cat- astrophe that is almost tragic. In the words of Lord Roseberry, the grave is open to receive one whom three weeks ago we welcomed home in the full belief that he was ready to meet the problems which confronted him, where his tact and sagacity would have been of the greatest value to the Empire but we are deprived of a great monarch. The great qualities which he possessed had gained for him the confidence of his people, so much so that when a difficult problem arose we felt he was equal to the task. Man proposes, but God disposes, and we are dazed by the blow. We can hardly realise it. But Edward the VII. has left an example which the humblest may treasure and try and follow. Nine years ago in his speech he said "As long as there is breath in my body, I will serve my country," and no one tried to fulfill this more than he did. He has done well what he was set to do, the difficult and high calling of king- ship. He did it well, and the opinion of the whole nation to-day is that the purpose of his life has been carried out. He was a great peace-maker and diplomatist. It was he who removed the long-standing difference with France, and not only did he remove it, but he replaced it with a better feeling. Indeed, every obstacle disappeared before his skilful dip- lomacy. He sought peace and pursued it. But in the midst of his great diplomacy he had a heart large enough to interest himself in all the interests of his people. Their interests were his. His sympathy with the suffering poor will ever be remembered. He worked and toiled for the hospitals, for the benefit of the poor and the masses, in whom they had a warm and sincere friend, and nowhere will the grief be more than in the cottage homes of our land. The Rector here read, under deep emotion, the. Message of the Queen-Mother to the nation. He said the Queen-Mother had always been the adoration of the British people, and the tribute of our sympathy goes out to her in her great grief. The new King comes to occupy the Throne in face of greater difficulties than have been known in the history of the Empire, and while we pray that God will give King Edward rest and peace, may He also give King George courage and wisdom. May God bless the memory of King Edward and bless and prolong the reign of King George. At the close of the service the organist (Mr. Rich) played the Dead March, and as an out- voluntary he played (Beethoven's Funeral March. A collection was taken in aid of the widows and families of those killed at the Whitehaven colliery disaster. THE FREE CHURCHES. The Free Churches held a memorial service at Zion Chapel, the large building being filled. the proceedings were opened by the playing of Chopin's Funeral March on the organ by Mr. D. D. Parry, after which the hymn Cofia'n gwlad, Benllywydd tirion," was sung. The Rev. William Thomas read a portion of Scrip- ture, and the Rev. Hugh Hughes led in prayer. The Rev. T. C. Roberts gave an excellent ad- dress, and the Rev. Cynwyd Williams followed with prayer. Other hymns sung were Lead, kindly light," Ar lan Iorddonen ddofn," and Bydd Myrdd o Ryfeddodau," whilst a double quartet gave a pathetic rendering of Nos dda y Cristion," the music of which is by Major G. R. Ashley, J.P. The* Dead March was played, and the National Anthem was rendered at the close of the service. The singing was conducted by Mr. E. M. Jones (Afallon), Mr. D. D. Parry accompanying on the organ. The Rev. T. C. Roberts in his address said there was but a little over nine years since a similar service was held in that place of wor- ship, and in thousands of other places of worship throughout the kingdom. At that time it was a memorial service to the beloved Queen Victoria, who reigned with dignity and respect for upwards of 60 years, and it was with a feel- ing of anxiety that we at that time looked for- ward to the reign of her successor. That anxiety however was but of short duration, for immediately after his ascent to the Throne it was evident that he was possessed of qualities that made him a worthy successor of his late mother, and to-day we do not hesitate to state he was one of the best, if not the best, monarch that ever reigned over Great Britain. His reign was but short, but during that period he had ample opportunities of proving his great skill, and showing that he was possessed of a store of wisdom, and was a wise King. It is possible that natural genius was not of the most brilliant, neither was he a giant in the world of thought, but he was possessed of sound common sense, and was extremely wise, which qualities are far superior to genius to- ,wards the making of an effectual and successful Monarch. He was possessed of excellent hum- anity, and in the midst of the Court and its functions his noble humanity was kept unde- filed. He was a good King, because he excelled as a man. To be exalted often weakens and kills humanity, but his ascendancy to the Throne was the means of revealing and unfold- ing the humanity of Edward VII. in the midst of the sway and dignity of the Throne. The success and happiness of his subjects were very near his heart. He was a pure friend to all classes without distinction. Nature had sup- plied him plentifully with good nature and gen- iality, and these he develop by constant practice throughout his life. He was a good friend to the poor, as well as the rich. His sympathy was beyond the bounds of party, whether social, political or religious. By his tact and common sense, added to which were wisdom, and his sympathy with the suffering of the poor, he won the deepest respect of all his subjects. It appears that the state of his health had not been satisfactory for some time, but for all that he served his kingdom to the end, and his last words were I have done my duty." Yes, he consecrated his days entirely in the interests of his subjects, and on the day of his demise there has not been audible one note of discord, but rather every class and party are in entire harmony in their reverence of his virtues, and are in deep sorrow by their great loss. In the death of King Edward, there is lost a man whose courtesy has never been equalled on the Throne of any country. But perhaps, after all, his chief characteris- tic was his desire for peace, and no doubt in the ages to come he will be known as the Peace- ful King. He ascended the Throne when Great Britain was in the throes of a war with South Africa, but before his coronation, the con- tention between the two countries was over, and this to a great extent as a result of the spirit of peace exhibited by the late King. He was also the means of nurturing this spirit of peace amongst other countries., He was one of the greatest Peacemakers of the earth. Upon the receipt of the news of his death General Botha, Prime Minister of the Transvaal, wired We have not only lost our Monarch, but our per- sonal friend." It is said about Judah and Israel, that they both resided in safety, each one under his own vine from Dan to Beersheba, throughout the days of Solomon. The same may be said of the British Empire during the reign of King Edward. He set his country at peace; the sound of the cannon was not heard, neither the clash of the sword, in any part of his vast Em- pire. He was a Prince of Peace in the real meaning of the word. Our loss is great, our sorrow is deep, at the loss of a Monarch so full of humanity, so wise and so peaceful. Our sympathy goes out to the widow who stands so lonely at the graveside at Windsor to-day, and our sincere wish and prayer is that the Lord will cast His divine shadow over her in this trying hour. Whilst mourning the loss of King Edward, we beseech that our new King George V. may be blessed with those qualities possessed by his late father and grandmother, that he may be a worthy successor. God raises good men, but it is possible for him to raise better, and our earnest desire is that Britain's best day are yet to come, and that the reign of George V. may be a record one. God save our King and bless our country.
