TEN MILLION TONS OF ORE.
TEN MILLION TONS OF ORE. A Company will shortly be brought out for public subscription, for the purpose of acquiring and working as an industrial busi- ness, a body of gold bearing ore, which is said to be the largest in th £ world-undoubtedly the largest owned by oqe Company. Probably no other Company hatf ever come before the public with a property containing so large a quantity of the raw rqaterial developed and ready for crushing, and it will readily be seen that the undertaking is quite an in- dustrial business, and very different from ordinary mining in wllich the quantity of ore obtainable has too (iften to be ascertained after the formation of the Company. In fact there is no mining," ip. the sense of seeking for ore, to be done; thfJ object being to erect machinery and crush the enormous supply of ore which is already available and which the Company will acquire. The property was secured several years ago, on behalf of English purchasers, and over six years have been spent upon development work in order to thoroughly prove itft value and resources before issuing the shares for public sub- scription. Since the completion of the development work the property has been personally examined by^ well-known London and other engineers, who compute the avail- able quantity of ore at upwards of ten million tons! The ore is on tpe slope of a high mountain, and the vast^quantity rises to an elevation of two thousand feet above the battery site it is thus obtainable for crush- ing without the usual expense of either sink- ing, hoisting or pumping. It is proposed to work with a battery stamps, and the quantity of ore is sufficient to keep this large number of stamps at work day and night for fifty to one hundred years A perpetual water power, a vertical fall of 400 feet upon the battery site, has been constructed, and belongs; to the property; this supplies sufficient power to drive all the machinery practically without cost. Many hundreds of tests prove te value of the ore on a working basis to be about £1. 12s. per ten throughout the entire mass, and- with the extraordinary facilities for working, the operating expenses are found to be well covered at 5s. 6d. per toq. Upon a very moderate basis as to promts—much lower than the above figures would indicate—the dividends on the shares aife estimated at a minimum of 30 per cent. per annum. This for a period of fifty to oGe hundred years constitutes Ah investment #hich is eagerly sought for, abd the shares ydll undoubtedly be largely mver-subscribed when issued. The directorip^f the .Company is an excep- tionally strolm'one.—{.Thu ^Lining Journal, London.] | •* n ip'

THE CHAMPION3 WIN THEIR SECOND LEAGUE ENGAGEMENT. t——— On Saturday thefewiffcs journeyed to Rhyl to meet the Town in a League fixture. This engagement was nit by any means a certainty for the Llanduo men, and when it became known tijat both Webb and Bevan would be absentees, no one would have been greatly astonished had the Rhyl team gained a couple of poiqits at the Swifts' expense, particularly as the northern men had not tasted the sorrows of defeat in a League match this season, although having played three, two of which they had won and the other drawn. ljut those who had pinned their confidence to the Swifts were not dis- appointed, for ftfter a little erratic play in the first few minutes of the game they settled down to their work in delightful style, and never, after the match had been in progress for twenty minutes, were they in imminent danger of a reverse. Both the substi- tutes Hugh Williams and O. E. Hughes, were well worth thfir places, and the latter, if played regularjy, should make a particularly tine centre, having both the necessary weight and speed, and, i- but rarely too excited, even in front of goat, to give a good account of himself; the, other men all acquitted themselves Nyell and were a credit. to the club they represent, there being an entice absence of roughness, and many of the capable judges of socker,"even amongst the Jihyl supporters, openly ex- -tti pressed their admiration for the style of play adopted by the Swifts, and acknowleged that the two Competing elevens were not of the same class, more than one asking in sur- prise how they could possibly have allowed Bangor to bea| them even by such a narrow margin itS one goal to love. One feature was especially noteworthy, and that was the almost entire absence of rowdyism amongst the spectators. This is all the most satis- factory when there is taken into consideration the unenviable notoriety indentified with the name of hyl, owing to their disorderly behaviour in years past, and should encourage the League and other authorities to deal in a "I similarly tirm manner with other offendj*^ of the same type, and it will not thefi be long before the brute element of the specta- tors is eradicated from amongst the crowds attending football displays in North Wales. About tive miputes past thcee the teams lined up in the following order :— Rhyl Glass, goal A. W. Street and Vernon Jones, backs.; Gerard Jones, H Middleton and Tour Middleton, half-backs J. Evans, Sain,JParry, Charlie Jones, Isaac Williams arret W. Jones, forwards. Referee :—Mr. Hope, Holywell. Swifts :R. J. Williams, goal Fred Jones and W. Hughes, backs Johnny Roberts, J. E. Hughes and Will Hughes, half-backs J. Jones, W. Allmaij, O. E. Hughes, J. Roberts and Hughie Williams, forwards. O. E. Hughes started the ball before a fairly large number of spectators, the Swifts playing down the incline, and without delay assumed the offeppive, but their attack was repulsed by Street, who all through played a very energetic game, and some desultory play ensued, neither side gaining any note- worthy advantage, This continued for about ten minutes, after which the Swifts settled down to their work and showed a pretty and combined style of play which the Rhyl men found utterly irresistible, and the ball hovered dangerously around their citadel for minutes together, J. E. Hughes and most of the front rank men trying Glass's goal-keep- ing abilities, but that player came out of the ordeal without reverse. A burst away of the homesters, headed by Charlie Jones, compelled R. J. Williams to throw away for the tirst time, but tibe Rhyl men returned to the attack and were rewarded for their we efforts with a corner kick which, however, was not improved; upon. The Swifts by neat passing tactics worked the ball to the other end, and severely pressed the home defence, two or three corners falling to their share in quick succession and it looked on more than one occasion that the ball could not fail to find a resting place in the net. They still maintained their supremacy, how ever, despite the gallant attempts to raise the siege by the home eleven, and ultimately succeeded in opening their account by the joint efforts of Fred Jones, Ned Hughes and Johnny Roberts, amidst much cheering from the Llandudno supporters, of which there were a fair number present. This reverse seemed to have an inspiriting effect upon the home team, and the forwards made several praiseworthy attemps to elude the vigilance of the Swifts' back division and get within shooting distance of R. J. Williams, but their final efforts lacked both accuracy and stamina. Some exhibition football between Allman, O. E. Hughes and Hughie Williams I have the Swifts an opportunity of increasing their lead, and of this the centre took full advantage, placing No. 2 to their credit. From now until half-time the Llandudno men had matters all their own way, but the interval arrived with the score still remain- ing Swifts 2 Rhyl 0 After the cross-over the Rhyl team had the advantage of playing down the hill, which is no mean consideration on such a ground, where there is ample evidence, judg- ing from the number of furrows, which were no less than six inches deep in places, that the land was used at no distant date for corn producing purposes, and many of their most sanguine supporters had hopes that their favourites would still be able to retrieve their somewhat scattered fortunes. Their feelings were during the first few minutes buoyed up with the way the Rhyl men attacked, and had it not been for the steady defence of Will Hughes and Fred Jones they must have scored, the latter saving by a grand piece of bead work, what looked like a certain goal. The pressure, however, was at last relieved, and after a series of visits to each goal-keeper, during which a large amount of unnecessary energy and vigour was imported into the game, calling forth from the referee a warning to several of the Rhyl players, Roberts succeeded in adding a third point for the Swifts, for which, how ever, the credit belonged to the whole of the front quintet for their unselfish passing. The remainder of the game was of a give and take character, the principal item of interest being a fine shot from O. E. Hughes which evaded the efforts of Glass, but the referee, who gave satisfaction to both teams, did not i allow the point, on appeal for an infringe- ment of the offside rule, the match ending in a well-deserved victory for the Llandudno men as under:- Swifts 3 Rhyl 0 SWIFTS RESERVES v. LLANRWST V.B.R.W.F. The Swifts' second string had the Roost- ers for their opponents on the home ground on Saturday list, October 30th. Winning the toss, the visitors were soon placed on the defensive, a corner filing to the Swifts this was nicely plAce^ but equally well cleared, and the visitor1* were awarded a er, which J. Parry clewed smartly away, the ustodian beitig testeH a few seconds late and came <3fat of th ordeal smiling. A butst away and good shofe by Welch was badly Jllissed by, Goodwin im an easy posi- tion, a orner to Swifts was returned well to midtielL whero the visiting forwards made several mttempts to break through the de- fence. unt being particularly noticed for his and well judged return^,was well assisted %>y Hejrsee and Jones, the lattftr being verw smart throughout. A brisk spilrt by Parrmon the wing, and well jiftdged centre, thaleatlier was placed in the net by Welch. Llwirwgt made up for this defeat by quickly eqiialifing with a high shot, a further opeiangfbeing nullified by the break- ing of the o&slcle rule still keeping up a strong pressif^jjl and playing a better com- bined game, thjSy gave a second point from a throw in. The homesters played up to advantage, and just before call of half-time W. Roberts notched the second, the score standina, Half-time—Swifts, 2 Llanrwst, 2. Some changes in the positions of the home- sters in the second half had eventually the desired effect. Llanrwst were the first to be dangerous, the backs returning well for the homesters; they were able to force a corner which Goodwin placed with rare judgment and Welch headed through. From now to call of time the visitors rarely broke away, Shaw being credited with the fourth point amidst great excitement. Several further chances were given the home forwards of increasing their lead, but the score remained unchanged. Goulding was cheered for a clever clear, with two men well on him, the game ending :— 11 Swifts Reserves 4 Llanrwst 2 MOTES. The two new players failed to distinguish themselves with anything like the brilliance one had been led to expect the most noticeable player on the field was Lunt, who will develope into a powerful one. W. Jones took my fancy, being very sure and tackled fearlessly. Hersee and Parry played as usual a good sound game throughout, always working hard. W. ftoberts put in some electric sprints, but was badly backed by the rest of the forwards. Welch in the second half was too dashing to be effective, nevertheless, he cleared the way for his com- rade1; to shoot, which they, time after time, failed to do. The outside right seemed to be unable to stand up for many minutes to- gether whether he fell from excitement or not I cannot say, certain it is he did fall, and not another player near him. One fact is undeniable, if the committee intend the Reserves to win the re-played cup tie against Carnarvon there are three in the forward ranks that should be $iven a rest, and the ¡ result will be a distinct advantage to the team. The visitors were a much heavier lot, and public opinion was decidedly in their favour in the first bali, Weight, however, is not all that is desir,ct and the way some of the "little uns'" bristled them was very amusing, and provoked roars of laughter from the spectators. One committee man remarked, one can tofford to laugh at this game, but what a difference a week to-day." ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. WARRIOR.—(1) Y qp are certainly mistaken. (2) I cannot tell you. (3) Wrexham is the nearest depot. Musicus.—Them is not a vestige of truth in the report that, the captain of the LJrm- dudno Cricket Cltib has been cabled for to fill the vacancy In the English cricketing team in Australia, caused by the indispo- sition of Stoci(lay-t itnd "Ranji"; both players, I am glad to say, jfrre convalescent. MAGPIE.—The player you mention did not come off scathlesi a bruised thigh and a lost tooth being recorded. F. R. wrote to inform me last week that the club had a new vice. I immediately re- plied that whatever the vice might be I should not publish it in these columns; his reply explained matters, he meant to say "vice-president." I apologise for thinking for one minute that the club were capable of having any vices. BLOOMER is evidently a lady who states that the long spell of fine weather has some- what marred the pleasures of walking down our principal street, owing to the amount of expectoration that has accumulated at the various corners. The writer asks if it is not the duty of the police to move these artists in tobacco juicq on. I most certainly think it is, and no doubt after this the Town Council will appoint a committee with power to add to their number, and that the combined forces of poiice and councillors will, I expect, do away with these unsightly and unartistic expectorations which are now a source of danger and a disgrace. C, HAIRDRESSER says :—The letter of last week can be atawered in a few words. As long as some of the establishments make a practice of opening on Sunday, so long will they, who do not open on Sunday, keep their establishments open on the Wednesday. The shop assistants have the matter in their own hands by simply refusing to work on the seventh day. PEL DUOED. LLANDUDNO SWIFTS v. MANCHESTER CITY. The above teams will play a grand match on the Council's Field next Saturday kick- off at 3 p m. I LLANDUDNO COUNTY SCHOOL v. I CONWAY COLLEGE. This match was played at Conway on the 27th ult. The visitors scored four goals be- fore half-time; the game was more even after the change of end, when the home team made vigorous attacks led by Alison and Abraham, one of which resulted in a goal. But the visitors, who seemed more together, secured four more points, so that the final result was :—Conway, 1 goal; Llan- dudno County School, 8. The draw for the second round of the Welsh Cup took place at Wrexham with the fullowing result Division I Holywell v. Carnarvon Iron- opolis, Rhyl Town v. Bangor. Division 2: Chirk v. Druids, Flint v. Caergwrle Wan- derers. Division 3: Wem v. Newport, Wel- lington Town v. Market Drayton. Division 4: Builth v. Tpwyn Rovers, Swansea or Aberdare v. Aberystwyth. The first-named clubs have choice of ground kick-off at half- past two ties to be played on or before November 27th. „

AQUATICS.
AQUATICS. So many letters have been addressed to Pel Droed in respeqt of the Sailing Club, that they have been passed on to me for replies. After careful perusal, I fancy that the majority of them will be answered in the following paragraph The annual meeting will be held in January, due notice of which will be given in these columns. New oncers will be appointed, and I take it that all those who have paid their subs." will be entitled to vote. I am entirely in the dark a to how the boats were placed on the League table at the conclusion of the season. I must fer all correspondents on this subject to the joint secretaries. In answer to "Maip-brace" and othors, I think they will admit, pn reflection, that their questions will keep uistil the annual meeting. They open a very field for discussion, and one not, likely jo be entertained for several seasons to comje. I take this opportunity of congratulating Mr. Robert. Jones, sop of the late Thomas Junes, Pwll-y-gwichia|d. on the occasion of his marriage with Mis, Jones, Embden House, which ceremony took) place on Wednesday morning last at the Welsh Baptist Chapel, the Hev. David D ivifts officiating. This. I believe, is the first weeding of one of the club members, and I am gure all members and supporters wish Mr. Juries and his bride ban voyage and absence of squalls.

THE NEW M.P. FOR BARNSLEY.
THE NEW M.P. FOR BARNSLEY. Mr. Joseph Walton, who haa succeeded to the representation of the Barnsley Division of Yorkshire, was bora at Bollihope, in Weardale, in 1849. He was educated privately, and entered commercial life at Middlesbrough, associating himself with the coal and allied trades. In 1892 and 1893 he made an extended tour through India and Burniab, and as a result of his I observation became deeply convinced of the urgent need for the extension of the railway system and in- creased works of irrigation in the interests of British trade. He has also travelled in the United States Citunda, and elsewhere in our colonial dependen- cies. He has been a magistrate for the North Riding since 1893, and this year he hus been appointed a deputy-lieutenant for i ho riding.

Mr. Walton lives at Glenside, Saltburn-b) -the-Sea.
FUNERAL OF HENRY GEORGE.
FUNERAL OF HENRY GEORGE. The public funeral of Mr. Henry George, which took place at New York on Sunday, was one of the most imposing ever witnessed in the United States. All classes united in paying the last tribute to the memory of the popular champion. Flags draped with crape and other mourning emblems were generally displayed throughout the city from sunrise to sunset. The body lay in state in a plain cloth covered casket, half covered with flowers and memorial wreaths, at the Grand Central Palace, 42nd-street, and was viewed by thousands of men and women and children, who formed an almost endless line as they Hied past. Several newspapers, which issued special memorial editions during the day, declare that nothing has equalled the function since the death of President Lincoln. The vast building was tilled to overllowing at three o'clock, when non-sec- tarian funeral services were conducted by Bishop Potter, Dr. Heber Newton, Dr. Lyman Abbott, Father McGlynn, and Rabbi Gottheil, with the choir of th.i Plymouth Church. The speakers paid eloquent tributes to Mr. George's sterling character and his patriotic efforts in the cause of justice and humanity. The Mayor and the Corporation of New York, clergymen of all denominations, and men emi- nent. in political and social life were present. At seven p.m. the body was placed on a hearse draped with American flags and drawn by 16 horses, and escorted by over 10,000 men representing the various political and labour organisations, and bands playing funeral marches, to Brooklyn. Enormous crowds lined the streets as the precession passed down Broadway over Brooklyn Bridge. The body amed at Mr. George's residence at Fort Hamilton!*Brooklyn, until Monday, when the interment.. tool place at Greenwood Cemetery, the final cer^poony, b|ing attended only by the relatives and imnjediattf friends. Of the lato Ijjlr. Henry George's several inte- resting pfcoriejl arr told. On« which relates to the reformer's visit Jo Oifqfii, is worth re-telling. Mr. G#prge wen| to tfe University fresh from al his triumphal tour in the North of Eng- land, tpd did jpw conceal his desire to capture the Unimrsity Citf. In the discus- sion whi^i followed the lecture, the phrase "Mr. George's tpatrum wm used by one speaker. Now, in Ameriafc nostruiii" halt a most offensive mean- ing. Accordingly Mr. George lost his temper, and said some Wrd things. A humorous don ended the battle of fiords by remarking that as Mr. George did not know the difference between meum and tuum," he could not be expected to understand the meaning of the word "nostrum." Here is another story of Mr. George which has not found its way into the obituary notiees. He was lecturing in Edinburgh, and had to run the gauntlet of a persistent heckler. The gentleman would not be put down, but continued to ask one question after another, until Mr. George, losing patience said "Stupid as your question is, sir, I will answer it." But the Scot was not satisfied, he had more "stupid" questions to ask. The inevitable happened. Mr. George lost command of his temper, and shouted to the chairman: "I must ask you to inform this gentleman that I am prepared to discuss the question with the Duke of Argyll or any other person who is competent to discuss it; but I will not waste my time or irritate the audience by discussing it with him." On one occasion when he was travelling in a Pullman car, in which he was the only pas- senger, the negro porters gathered in a knot and told stories of the bad season through which they were passing to one another. At the end of the journey it is always customary to give the porter" — the waiter especially appointed to the car a tip, and on this occasion Mr. George, after the man had brushed his coat, handed him all the change he had in his pocket, amounting to several dollars. The man was almost overwhelmed, and, as Mr. George alighted at the station, the negro turned to his comrades, and, throwing up his hands, cried out: I says it always, and I says it agin, jou never can't tell nothing about a frog till you sees him jump."

THE renowned professor of palmistry gazed upon the lines in the young man's right hand. There will be a wedding soon," be said in a confident tone. He did not see the left hand, as the young man and girl in the buggy swept by him too quickly. You must feel very happy in this lovely cottage you call your own ?" How can I when 1 think of my family that owned an estate of thousands of acres, with a castle and a whole regiment of servants ?" Why, when did they lose it." During the eleventh century." ISm: never told her secret, but one evening before the other members of the choir came to practice she poured out her soul to the old church organ in rap- turous improvisation that thrilled and soared among the rafters of the church, eloquent with passion and longing. After practice the basso whispered in her ears, as she descended the stairs: 11 Hag I have dis- covered yonr secret. You love the tenor." How did you find it out she faltered, blushing rosy red. "I pumped the organ," hissed the basso, as he crunched a bronchial troche fiercely between his teeth. THERR WlMl at least one responsive bearer in the crowded little church in a southern village, and it happened this way. Guests had arrived unexpectedly at the country parsonage on Sunday morning. The weekly supply of butter had run short, so the hos- pitable host dispatched old Joe, the coloured man, to his neighbour, Mr. Paul, whosa dairy always boasted a surplus. The parson proceeded to church with his well-prepared sermon on some of the best sayings of the great apostle, and was well under way with it, when old Joe returning empty-handed, concluded he would quietly slip in and hear his master preach. Just as he entered, the preacher leaned over the pulpit, stretched forth his hand with a most im- pressive 'interrogation in voice and manner, and called out, And what did Paul say ?" Distinctly sounded through the church old Joe's reply: "He say, marster, be ain't going to let you have no more butter till you pay for dat last you cot."

Newidiodd y darlithydd ei destyn o "1010 Goch" i Ddoethineb Cymry fu i Gymry sydd a Chymry fydd," a chymerodd y diarhebion canlynol yn sylfaen i'w sylwadau-" Cas ieuanc heb ddysg," Cas ieuanc heb ostyng- eiddrwydd," Cas ieuanc ni wnel gynghor," "Gwae ieuahc a eiddun henaint," "Gwae ieuanc a eiddun brodve cymdeithas)," "Gwae ieuanc a gaffo ddrygair," Nid afiywiog ond ieuanc," "Nid hudolaidd ond ieuenctyd," Nid ieuanc ond munyd awr." Sylwodd ar y diarhebion hyn mewn modd gwir ymarferol, gan ddangos yr angenrheidrwydd ar i'r ieu- enctyd a'i gwrandawai nid yn unig goffhau ac ystyried eucynwys, ond hcfJd en defnyddio er dyrchafiad eu cymeriadau. Yr oedd yr anerchiad yn gychwyniad campus i'r gym- deithas, a deaJlwn fod nifer dda wedi ymuno a hi eisoes. -0- Boreu Sabbath, yn Nghapel Ebenezer, traddodwyd ptegeth angladdol i'r diweddar Barchedig John Evans (Eglwysbach) gan y Parch. David Jones, a seiliodd ei sylwadau ar y geiriau sydd i'w gweled yn Llyfr Job— "Yr Arglwydfl a roddodd, yr Arglwydd a ddygodd ymaith bendigedig fyddo enw yr Arglwydd." Taiodd deyrnged o barch dwfn i'r trancedig, a chredai fod hyd yn ôd Cymru oil wedi derbyn; colled ddirfawr trwy ei farw- olaeth.—Yn yr ,hwyr, cyfeiriwyd yn mhellach i'r un perwyl gån Mr. Edward Davies. —o— Prydnawn Sadwrn diweddaf, aeth cymaint a thri dwsin tren rhad oddiyma i Gaernarfon i gael clywed y Rhyddfrydwr poblogaidd a chyfrifol, Mr. H. H. Asquith, A.S., yn ymdtfin ar wleidyddiaeth oddiar lwyfan Cymreigi Yr oedd miloedd o bobl wedi ymdyru i'r babell anferth, ac ymddyg- odd pawb mewi modd oedd y tu hwnt i ddymuniadau y;, mwyaf grwgnachlyd yn wir, yr oedd yn dorf mor hunan-fcddianol a thawel fel y gweddai i gynulliad o add- olwyr. Mor wahanol fuasai torf Ssisnig, onide ? Mae Mr. Asquith yn sicr o lod wedi sylwi gyda hyfrydwch ar rat o nodwedd- ion y Cymro yh y cyfarfod mawr hwn gwelodd pa fath ydyw bnvdfrydedd Cymreig, pa mor astud ydym yn ein gwrandawiad, pa mor lym ydym yti ein beirniadaeth o siarad- wyr, a pha mor hoif ydym o ganiadaeth. —o— Afraid yw clywdycl i Mr. Asquith gael derbyniad gwir 'lyrnrcig — Did derbyniad tywysogaidd, cofief-, oblegyd gair diystyr ydyw hwna y tu ynia i Glawdd Offa cododd y dorf fel un gwr, a ohwitiasant bawb naill ai eu diddosbenau neu eu Hawhennau, a phan gyr- haeddasai y bnvdfi^ydedd ei eithafbwynt yr oedd gwyneb gwron y cyfarfocl yn wenau ar ei hyd-ddo. "0- Dywedodd Mr. Asquith amrai bethau pwysig i ni Gymry, adroddiad llawn o ba rai ydys wedi darilen eisoes yn y newyddiaduron ond yr oedd ei glywed yn addunedu yn ngwydd y miloedd tystion, y crweithiai tros Gymru yn y dyfodol megys ag y gsvnaeth yn y myncdol, yn codi calon y gwrandawyr i ystad lawen a diolchus tros ben yr oedd yn addevvid gwerth myned bellderoedd o n'ordd i Gaernarfon i'w chlywed. I'r boneddwr hwn ydym i ddiolch am y cynydd mawr sydd wedi ei wneyd yn athrawiaeth Dadgysylltiad, ac y mac ei glywed yn adnewyddu eigyfamocl ag Ymneillduwyr Cymru—pan y meiddia rbai grochlefai) o loniant gan y dybiaeth fod yr athrawiacth yn nhiriogaeth ebargofiant- yn gymaint sen i'r gau-brophwydi eglwys- yddol, fel mai anhawdd ydyw peidioa chredu y daw eu "hymladdwyr" o'u llesmair am hir amser. Nid yn unig mae y cwestiwn o Ddadgysylltiad yn fyw, ond gynted ag y gedy y Llywodraeth i'r awenau fyned o'u dwylaw, fe welir y cwestiwn hwn yn cael y sylw blaenaf yn ngweinyddiaeth y blaid Rhydd- frydol, a Mr. Asquith yn cyflawni ei addew- idion. -0- Nid yn fynych y gwelir cymaint o'r aelodau seneddol Cymreig mewn un cyfarfod ag a welwyd yn Nghaernarfon ddydd Sadwrn. Methodd Mr. Sam Moss a hod yn bresenol, ond yr oedd y rhai canlynol yno, ac yn eu hwyliau goreu—Mri. J. Bryn Roberts, T. E. Ellis, D. Lloyd-George, William Jones, J. Herbert Lewis a J. Herbert Roberts, aelodau ac yr ydym yn mawr ddyledus iddynt am eu gwaith anmhrisiadwy dros ein gwlad. -0- Y tri peth pwysicaf yn y cyfarfod, tyb i, ydoedd adduned Mr. Asquith. araeth fawr- eddog Mr. Lloyd-George, a'r hyn a ganlyn. Pan gyfeiriodd Mr. Asquith yn ystod ei araeth at ei ofid oherwydd nas gallai am- gyfired areithiau Cymreig ei gyfeillion, gan ychwanegu y carai ddysgu ein hiaich, ond ei fod wedi myned yn rhy hen cyn dechreu, dyma lais o'r ffrynt yn gwaeddi, No, no try, try nes oedd Mr. Asquith, yr aelodau Cymreig, a'r holl dorf yn eu dybiau. Ac nid oedd y geiriau hyny'yn dyfod o enau neb llai na ——— un o'r Rbyddfrydwyr pybyraf a fedd Llandudnc. I -0- Nos Lun, mewn perthynas a Chymdeithas J Lenyddol y Methodistiaid, ac o dan lywydd- iaeth Mr. George Edwards, Nuneham House, traddodwyd anerchiad uchelryw gan y Parch. H. Barrow-Williams ar Ysprydoliaeth," yn ei berthynas a'r Beibl. Tybid flynydd- oedd yn ol fod llyfrau crefyddol gwledydd y Dwyrain o ansawdd mor uchel fel y dalient gydmariaeth deg ag hyd yn od y Beibl ei hunan ond erbyn heddyw, mae y llyfrau hyny wedi eu cyfieithu i'r Saesonaeg, gyda'r canlyniad y cydnebydd dynion dysgedicaf y byd na ddaliant yn ochr y Beibl am eiliad. Crwahaniaotha y Beibl oddiwrth ]yfrau y crefyddau Dwyreiniol, nid o ran graddau ond o ran natur. Cyfiawnhad trwy weithredoedd ddysgant hwy, tra y mawr ragorir arnynt gan y Beibl trwy ddysgu cyfiawnhad trwy ffydd. Nid yn unig mae Y Llyfr yn cynwys ifeithiau a dadguddiadau mawrion a phwysig na sonir am danynt mewn llvlrau eraill, ond mae yn myned lawer yn mhellach drwy fod yn ddystaw af bynciau a agorent ffordd i ddim ond dadleuon ac amheuaeth diddiwedd. Dywed y Beibl am amserau gvvell sydd i gyf- arfod a'r ddvnbliaeth, ond mae ei israddolion am dori calonaU cofleidwyr eu syniadau trwy ddysgu fod dyn wedi gweled ei amser goreu, gwaeth aiff y byd fel yr a yn ei flaen. Ca1|iataer fod y Beibl yn cynwys gwallau a chaymeriaàan, gellir dywedyd yn ddyogel ei fod y llyfr godidocaf a'r mwyaf ei ddylaj^wad ar feddwl a moes a welodd ein byd er|oed. pa gyfrif sydd i'w roddi dros lagoriaeth j Beibl ar lyfrau eraill ? Mae tedi ei yspyydoli, tra nad ydyw y lill old meirwon. » Sonir am ysprydoliaeth d(|wy jfraith yn unig pi yr Ysgrythyr—yn yr Heft ifestament defnyddir ef am ddyn, ac yn y$#vydd am y lleibl ei hunan. Yr un esboifiad roddir am ddyn ag a roddir am y Beibl» a deilliasai y ddau o'r un ffynhonell, a'r n.iI1 yn gweithredu er mwyn y Hall. Wrth ysprydoliaeth y meddylir dylanwad Yspryd Duw yn gweithredu yn uniongyrchol drwy ac yn meddyliau a geiriau ysgrifenwyr y Beibl wrth ddadgnddio Ei feddyliau mawr Ei Hunan ïr ddynoliaeth. Gwna ysprydol- iaeth y dyn yn debycach iddo ei hun trwy fod o dan Ysbryd Duw yr oedd yr ysgrifen- wyr sanctaiidd yn myned yn fwy o honynt eu hunain—bywyd ysprydoledig yn yspryd y dyn ei hun. Nid ysprydoliaeth ydyw anffael- edigrwydd, cofier. Gellir meddwl am yspryd- oliaeth yn hollolar wahan i anffaeledigrwydd. Nid ydyw anffaeledigrwydd y Beibl yn cyffwrdtl y cwestiwn pwysicaf a mwy han- fodol, set ei ysprydoliaeth. Ei ysprydoliaeth ydyw yr byn sydd yn ei wneyd yn bobpeth ac ydyw i ddynoliaeth. Nid hanes ysprydoliaeth ydyw, ond hanps ysprydoledig, a gwna ei waith llawn mor "wirioneddol rhwng mynydd- oedd Cymru y dyddiau hyn ag a wnaeth ganrifoedd yn 01 rhwng mynyddoedd gwlad Canaan. Nid yn ngeiriau y Beibl mae ei ysprydoliaeth. aoeto mae y geiriau yn yspryd- oledig—yn eiricUi Duw. Nid yn nghorff dyn mae ei fywyd, er y gwyddom fod ei gorff yn llawn o hono. Pa Ie mae yr eisteddle sydd yn ei wneyd yn ddyn ac nid yn angel ? Nis gellir dywedyd, ac eto mae yn berffaith ymwybodol o hono. Yn mha le y mae calon y Beibl, ynte ? Yn IcsuGrist-" Myfi ywy Gwirionedd ac ynddo Ef y mae ysprydol- iaeth y Beibl yn cartrefu o hyd. Bywyd lesu Grist drwy Ei yspryd yn treiddio ac yn cerdded trwy y Beibl i gyd A'r rheswm na wna rhai o ddynion dysgedig y byd dderbyn yr athrawiaeth o ysprydoliaeth y Beibl ydyw eu bod hyd eto heb dderbyn lesu Grist Ei Hunan. -0- Gwrandawyd ar yr anerchiad gan yllll- iad lluosog, a mawr obeithiwn iddi beri nid yn unig hyfrydwch ond adeiladaeth fuddiol yn ogystal.—Nog Lun nesaf, bydd y gym- deithas yn cynal cyfarfod gweddi undebol gyda Chymdeithas Ymroad Crefyddol y Bobl leuainc.
