YR EGLWYS. y ———— sy Dywedodd Arglwydd Eldon unwaith, h' Diolch i Dduw fod genym Dy yr Arglwyddi. Dywedwn ninnau yr un peth am yr Eglwys, hi diolch i Dduw fod genym ninnau Eglwys u' Sefydledig yn y deyrnas hon, yr hon sydd h: gangen o'r Eglwys Apostolaidd. Dywedir ui wrthym yn ami mai yn amser Harri yr Wythfed y daetb Eglwys Loegr i fodolaeth gl nis gall ei geJynion fyned gam yn ol ar dir E hanesyddiaeth ym mhellach na'r amser hwnw. d Dichon i'r Eglwys gitel ei sefydlu yn y wlad hon tua'r flwyddyn 60 o oed ein Hiach- a awdwr, pan oedd yr Apostolion yn fyw. Nis b gall neb wada nad oedd tri o Esgobion Pryd- b einig yn bresiennol yng Nghymmanfa Aries, yr g hon a gymmerodd Je O.C. 314, yn agos i dri I chant o flynyddoedd cyn i'r Pab anfon g Awstin Fonach yma. Y mae yn wirionedd i y Eglwys Bufnin ormesn ar yr Eglwys Bryd- einig yn y canoloesoedd, me iddi gyfrannogi o'r llygredigaethau oeddynt wedi ymlusgo i fewu i ddi. Gwnawd ymdrechion i buro yr Eglwys ym mhell cyn amser Harri gan Wickliff ac E erailL Pan y gwelodd Duw fod yn dda, Y torrodd gwawr y diwygiad allan; derbyniodd 1 yr Esgobion a'r offeiriaid y goleuni gyda Y llawenydd mawr a gwrthodasant ymostwng c i'r llygredigaethau oedd y canol oesoedd wedi 1: ddwyn i fewn. Darfu iddyut appelio at y ] Gyfraith a'r Dystiolaeth, sef gair Dnw A gwrthodasant y defodal1 a'r seremoniau ofer- 11 goelus, am y rhai nid oedd un warrant yn y Beibl. Fel hyn darfu iddynt buro yr Eglwy* *1 o'r llygredigaethau ocddyn t wedi cael eudwyn 11 i fewn a'i hadferu i'w phurdeb cyntefig. ? Nid oedd dim gwahaniaeth ym mherson j Naaman y Syriad wedi iddo gael gwared o'i c wahanglwyf, ond ei fod wedi cael gwared o'i afiechyd; yr un Eglwys oedd ein Heglwys ninnau cyn y Diwygiad ag ydyw yn «wr wedi J Diwygiad. Dywedir fod ein Heglwysi wedi bod yn Eglwysi pabyddol ac mae rbai yn myned mor bell a'u condemnio am hyn. Buasai yr un peth iddynt gondemnioy Beibl ei hun, oherwydd fod Eglwys Rufain wedi bod yn ei ddefnyddio. Darfu i Esgobion ac ofioir- iaid hon yn unfrydol goleddu y Diwygiad ni ? wrthododd dim ond dau cant i gydsynio a'r I cyfnewidiad. Ym mhen llawer o flynyddoedd, I yn y 10fed a'r 11 fed o deyrnasiad y frenines beth, anfonodd y Pltb orchymyri i ffurfio d cymmnndeb o bllhyddion. Myned allan o'r d Eglwys wiaeth y rhai hyn ac nid yr Eglwys b aeth allan oddiwrthynt hwy. Y mae hyn oil r yn profi mai ein H eglwys, yr hon sydd yn j gangen o'r Eglwys Apostolaidd, yw yr hen Eglwys gyffredinol a chatholicnidd—peidiedein darllenwyr a dyebrynu wrth ddarllen y gair olaf; canya y mae yn cael ei gamddeall ym mhlith y w< rin -y mae llawer yn credit nad yw 8, yn cael ei dd"fnyddio ond mewn cyssylltiad h ag Eglwys Rufain. Nid oes a fynno Pabydd- n iaeth a'r teitl yn fwy nag Eglwysi eraill, CI y rhai sydd yn iawn gt-fed. Eglwys Loegr yw b yr Jiglwya a bJa-mwyd yma yn yr oes ApostoJ- aidd. Yr oedd tair gradd o weinidogion ynddi ar y cyntaf; felly y mae yr awr hon. Gan ei bod felly, dylem ymlynu wrthi, a'i pharchu a'i anrhydeddu. Y mae yn ddiam- mheu y bydd llawer yn barod i ddweyd, ie, yr Eglwyswr sydd yn ei cltanmol; ond y ? mae eraill yn ei barnu yn wahanol. Nage, y mae genym dystiolaeth dynion da, dynion cyd- wybodol a ddarfu ymneillduo o'i chymmundeb, dros y pwnc. Y maent hwy yn tystiolaethu lDai Eglwys Loegr yw yr Eglwys Genedlaetbol buraf yny byd; ac mai hi yw y gwrthglawdd < sydd yn amddiffyn athrawiaeth bur, achyssegr duwioldeb cartrefol, a gogoniant GYistion- f ogaeth. Dywedodd un Ymneillduwr goleu- edig a diragfarti, fel y canlyn-" Dylem fod I yn ddiolchgar i'r Eglwya am y parch y mae I yn dalu i'r Bibl; ac am burdebei gwasauneth ( yr hyn sydd yn ddiffygiol ynom ni fel enwadau yn yr oes hon, pan y mae pob peth yn cael ei gymmysgti a chrefydd." Nid oes haws fod cymmaint ag un o sylfaenwyr ymneillduaeth yng Nghymru yn ammheu ei phurdeb-Willinnit;, Pantycelyn, a John ei fab; Daniel Rowlands; canya yr ydym yn cael yn lianes bywyd yr olaf pan oedd f yn dynesu at y girti tywyll, bron ar geulun tragywyddoldeb, iddo ddywedyd wrth ei fah Nathaniel, "Glyn with yr Eglwys er pob peth, f! efnllai y bydd i ti gael dy erlid am hyny, oanys cefais i fy erlid nes fy mlino. Fe fydd ) diwygiad mawr yn Eglwys Loegr." GaJIesid meddwl wrth hyn fod yspryd prophwydol- ] iaeth wedi syrthio arno; oblegyd y mae ei CIY c eiriau wedi cael 6u gwirio. ? Nid yw yn beth tebyg y buasai l Daniel Rowlands, pan ar ei wely angau, berswadio ei fab i ymlynu wrth Eglwys ag sydd yn dysgu yr hyn sydd yn groes i air Duw, fel y dywedir yn awr gan ei ganlynwyr. Addefir, feddyliwn, fod y Parch. Thtmias Richards, Abergwaen— mor enwog dyft ag fagwyd ym mhlith y Methodistiaid-yii ia^hgt ed. Nid ywyn beth tebyg y buasai iddo ddwyn ei blanfc i fyny yn offeiriaid, o leiaf un o honynt, os oedd Eglwys Loegr yn llygredig; yr hon sydd yn cael ei desgritio fel nyth pob aderyn aflan, yn Eglwys anysgrythyrol; yr hon sydd yn damnio mwy o eneidiau nag y mae yn achub," gan ddynion y gallem ddisgwyl rhywbeth amgen oddiwrthynt. Y mae yn achos o lawenydd fod yr Esgob- ion, yr Offeiriaid a'r Lleygwyr, trwy eu haelioni a'u cydweithrediad, yn gwneyd pob ymdrech i gadw i fynya chynnydd y boblog- aeth. Pan y mae yr Eglwys yn ymdrechu dros achos y Gwaredwr, a chadwedigaeth eneidian, y mae yn syndod i feddwl fod dynion dan gochl crefydd yn ceisio ei hyspeilio o'i gwaddoliadau, y rhai a roddwyd iddi gan bersonau. Nid yw yr ymgais sydd yn cael ei gwneyd yn awr, ddim gwell nag yspeiliad. Dywedir mai eiddo y genedl yelyw meddiannau yr Eglwys gall yr yspeiliwr pen-ffordd ddweyd yr un peth, nid o,-ti eiim mwy o hawl ganddynt i yspeilio ] 1 yr fcgiwys nag syaa gan y lleidr i yspeilo meddiAnnaa ei gymmydog. Beir a chondemnir y cyssylltiad sydd rhwng yr Eglwys a'r Wladwriaeth, a gwneir ymgais i dorri yr undeb hwn. Nid ydym yn credu fod yr hen Dduwinyddion Ymneillduol yn lisi eu dysg a'u dawn a'u duwioldeb, na'u canlynwyr, eto, yr oeddent hwy yn mawr gymmeradwyo yr undeb. Pan oedd un o'r rhfti mwyaf enwog yn eu plith yn pregethu oflaen y Senedd Hir, siaradodd fel hyn:— a, Os unwaith y dywedwch na fydd dim a tynnoch a chrefydd fel Llywodraethwyr y Genedl, bydd i Dduw amlygu yn fuan na fydd dim » fynno ft chwi fel Llywodraethwyr; J mae yn ddyledswydd arbenig arnoch i amddiffyn, cadw, a thaenu y ffydd a roddwyd unwaith i'r Saint ym mhlith y bobl dros y rhai y mae Duw wedi eich gosod." Yr ydym yn galw sylw ein cyfeillion ymneillduol at y sylwadau uchod. Addefir fod gan Lywodraethwyr Gwladol awdurdod i wneyd j cyfreithiau, cospi y rluti sydd yn trosedduy' gyfraith, Ac.; ond dywedir nad oes dim a lynont a dysgu crefydd a moesoldeb, yr unig foddion a all attal dynion rhag cyflawni j troseddau; gallant adeiladu carchardai, ond nis gallant adeiladu Eglwysi y mae yn iawn iddynt bennodi heddgeidwaid, ond nix gallant yn ol yr athrawiaeth hon hcnnodi offeiriaid i ddysgu y werin. Daeth yr athrawiaeth ddieithr hon i fodolaeth tua chwe ugain mlynedd yn ol, yn amser y chwyldroad yn yfrainc. Nid yw o un anrbydedd i bleidwyr I gyfundrefa newydd, iddynt goleddu y frith ) rniadau ag oedd yn cael eu taenu yr amser wnw yn y wlad hono. G Y mae hyd yn oed yr Ymneillduwyr en m main, yn gystal ag Eglwyswyr. yn addef j) wchatiaeth y Frenines, er nad ydynt yn addef 111 yn. Nid ydynt un amser yn appelio at D nrhyw allu tramor, yr hyn sydd uwchlaw y wdurdod y Frenines; canys y maent yn d4 ortod myned i lysoedd y Frenines neu y 0, Jrenin i benderfynu materion crefyddol. Dyna E reial mawr mewn perthynas i gymmunrodd- 01 )n Arglwyddes Henley, yr hwn a barhaodd am i' mser maith y matter mewn dadl oedd un o IT rif bynciau y .Ffydd Gristionogol. Gan eu tf od hwy en hunain yn gorfod appelio at allu fe wlndol, paham y maent yn beio Eglwys (II] joegr am wneyd yr un peth ? Y maent yn weithredu yn hollol groes i'r hyn y maent 0 n broffesii.—DEDWYDD. I

CYNWYL ELFED. Y prif ddigwyddiad a gymmerth Ie yn y lie Z5 nchod yr wythnos ddiweddaf oedd etholiad y Bwrdd Ysgol. Buasai y plwyf am ddyddiau lawer yn llawn berw yn ei gylch, ac fel y dynesai y dydd, ac adeg clywed canlyniad y pol, yr oedd y brwdfrydedd wedi cyrhaedd pwynto wres ofnadwy o uchel ond chwareu teg i ddoethineb Mr. Brown, yr hwn oedd yn dwyn yr etholiad ym inlaen, a medrusrwydd ) a synwyr cyffredin cryf Mr. Daniells, yr hedd- 1 geidwad, aeth pobpeth drosodd lieb un gwrth- j dnrawiad rhwng yr elfenau croes a rl(i,idl,ly-it- bol) amser ar adeg etholiadau. 1 n In Dyma fel y haif enwau y boneddigion a ffurf. ] iant y Bwrdd newydd :— iMr. 1.

REVIEW. t< ——— tl
REVIEW. t< ——— tl THE LAND OF MY FATHERS." By T. t( farchant Jf"illia -rite. -M r T. M. Williams is, bi re believe, a member of the South Wales ir 'ircuit, and a Radical Nonconformist, so it ni lay interest some of our readers to know 9 hat he has written in his little book about a1 he social and religious condition of Wales. 01 (1) He naturally sides against the Church, dl iut we must say that if he gives us two very w iad clergymen he also speaks of one very good P ne, and his model schoolmistress is a Church- a roman. He is very hard upon the Bishops, tl s the following sentence will show. "The oj iving of Ystrad was in the gift of the Bishop Ie f the Diocese. Strange to relate, he did his uty." The Bishop is also accused of not be- tig able to preach even an intelligible Welsh *jl ermon. The Church layman, in the shape of he squire, is also held up to ridicule; for w hough, he owns nearly every blade of grass in c' he parish, he refuses to give a penny to- rards the restoration of the Church which ai I 11 1 vas naiaiy a nt habittttion for the beasts ot ihe field. We are surprised to find Mr Williams making use of a long exploded allacy, namely, the Church's periodical listribution of loaves and fishes. The sharities of the Church are equally divided )etween Conformists and Nonconformists. (2) Mr Williams, however, does not spare Dissenters. He tells the preachers that if :hey loved their neighbour as themselves, -bey could well afford to let their faces assume ¡heir normal shape. He compares the lervility shown by the farmers to the land- ords with their arrogance in the chapels, and ibserves that a cynic might well be tempted to my that the conduct of the simple-minded Velsh Dissenter, who feels himself overawed 11 the presence of the lord of manor, into an ittitude of retiring self-abasement, bespeaks ,he delusion that he can recover some of his ost dignity by assuming a double portion of onsequence in the presence of the Lord of losts. He tells the Congregationalists and baptists they ought to know that to cast a ealous eye at every other sect than their own ras to play the devil's game. The Baptists re besides represented by Mr Gubbins, who ] 3 everything a schoolmaster ought not to be. Ve are told that few if any of the younger nembers of the Calvinistic denomination be- ( ieve in Calvinism. The using of their hapels by Dissenters for secular purposes is nuch blamed. (3) Passing over what Mr Williams says ) .bout the eisteddfod and the temperance j [Uestion, we find that he has reserved his 1 severest censures tor the way 111 which Her Majesty's Inspectors do their work. He denounces their want of punctuality, their cruel and overbearing manners, their racing m '15 over the inspection to catch the train, their keenness to have finished by lunch time, their stupid love for parsing. Hii especially objects to the system of payment by results, which he thinks almost compels the school teachers to cram the children instead of educating them. Mr Williams has had a great deal of ex- perience in schools, and everyone who knows much about our schools will agree with a great deal, though by no means with all, which he will find in this book.
THE JOHNSTOWN DISASTER REPEATED.
THE JOHNSTOWN DISASTER REPEATED. A large storage dam across the Hassa Yampa river, below Prescott, Arizona, has given way in consequence of pressure against it, and the escaping waters rushed with terrific force through the gaps thus caused, carrying every- thing before them. It is impossible at present bo estimate the total loss of life, but it is so far known that 40 persons have perished. Fears were entertained for the safety of the bown of Wickenburg, 30 miles below. The toss is estimated at over 500,000 dols. It is estimated that the loss in Walnut ri _h11 i 1 11.. -11. i-Truve wtii not oe covered oy a nuiaon dollars. Another town, Wickenburgh was also threatened, and most of the inhabitants fled. The service dam of the company is located 15 miles below the reservoirs, and 15 miles of works just approaching completion were carried away. The company spent over 800,000 dollars on the enterprise of storing the water. The hydraulic mining machinery had arrived, and they expected to commence operations next week. The dam which held the waters back 110 feet long at the base and 400 feet at the I top, iormmg a Jaxe three mijes in Jengtn by three-fourths of a mile wide and 110 feet deep. Lieutenant Brodie, in charge of the work, C5 was absent at the Phomix, superintending the shipment of machinery to the works, and was saved. 1========================

TRADE REPORT.
TRADE REPORT. Although the volume of trade in the country nerally, as evidenced by the rail way returns, ows no falling off, we cannot be blind to the ct that the metal trades, and more particu- ga. rly iron and steel, and the allied industries, au e in a very unsatisfactory condition. The 801 ain truth is the pace was too good to last. tie rise in iron was too rapid, and the tumble ^a] me sooner than was expected; and whether un e are going to see a revival in the spring th id summer is what no man can foretell. ba or this unhappy state of things the iron akers are not to blame. We have all along L these columns insisted on the mad policy of pi ie colliers, and we must say in justice—the pi >al owners, too—in forming up the price of SI lei to an unnatural level. The enormous se in coal and coke sent up the cost of pro- W( ucing iron and steel to a point that frightened hi uyers. Demand fell off, prices began to fi] roop, the gamblers in warrants became ho larmed, and the position to-day is that Hema- ft te pig iron warrants are worth only 63s, and 81 10 metal itself with raw material at to-day's Ii: ricee; cannot be made under 77s 6d. The R nly consolation to honest traders—and a poor insolation it is at the best-is that the H amblers, who by their rash speculations did n< leir best to ruin legitimate business, have had w ) part with their ill-gotten gains, and not F ldom with something else besides. Many ten, who six weeks ago were rejoicing over c( leir easily won thousands, a.e now weeping tl nd gnashing their teeth that they are poorer a' ten than before the "boom."

This is, of course, quite anomalous, and the shipments this week will approach more closely to the normal con- dition of things, but demand has fallen off, and production increased to such an extent that the stock in Swansea considerably exceeds a quarter of a million (and the sidings are now crowded with vans of plates), which is more than double the quantity of the corresponding period in 1889. It is melancholy to see the insane way in which people are still rushing into the trade, and we cannot look forward to the condition of the staple industry of the district for the remainder of this year with anything but the gravest apprehension.

REVIEW OF THE BRITISH CORN…
REVIEW OF THE BRITISH CORN ( Tl TRADE. There continues to be little complaint among H( naers, except where market prices are in qnes- on. There haa been a prevalence of east wind GE fficient to check a too forward growth of the At tumn sowings, while the slight frost has done by mething towards getting the land into proper Bi ndition for the crops of spring being put in. Si hat complaint reaches us comes from the clay Bi rmers, who find a good deal of their land ge Lmanageable, and in surface soil very far from at fine friable state which encourages sowings of M irley. Farm work, however, is generally forward, th id matters, on the whole, are encouraging to la real farmers, could they only obtain at the au :changes remunerative prices for their grain. ot resent cheapness, it may fairly be conceded, if: Tl rincipally confined to breadstuffs and to inferior G )ring corn. Fine British barley, oats (320 lb. to nl ie qr.), and good beans and peas command prices w. hich allow a fair profit to the cultivator. The G eather on the Continent during the past week L as been somewhat rough and unsettled, but isnow G ner. In France snow fell heavily, but it melted )on, and the general complaint, or, rather appre- rE ension, expressed in Central Europe is lest sharp se 'ost should visit the unprotected wheat fields, ol now is the great protector of the lightly sown, 111 ghtly rooted wheat crops of the Continent. Iu cl .ussiathe winter has been very mild, but February tl lus far has been rather colder than the opening hi lonth of the year. The English wheat sales at BE ,7 statute markets appear to have become more ra ormal. In the week ended February 15th they T ere 62,670 qrs., which, although larger than in ni ebruary, 1889, is not an extraordinary quantity S, I itself. In the week ending February 22nd the °] lies were 76,8271 qrs. at 29s. 9d. per qr., as ni )mpared with 49,762 qrs. at 29s. 5<1. per qr. in tl ne corresponding eek of 1889. The London of verage is 30s. lid. per qr. on 4,684 qt's. Prices 01 re not much changed at the chief marketp, where 81 nere has been a slight improvement in. the con- ci ition of deliveries balancing the effects at work to a )wer rates. The mean value of English wheat ul aould now be higher, owing to the certainty that T aere in a comparatively small reserve left in 111 Lrmer's hands. A bracing March would probably fe end the average up a lull Is. per qr., and in no P vent should we carry forward a 29s. average from P 'ebruary. With the present month's conclusion at e: >ast a 30s. level should be taken. The demand m )r flour is still small, but not quite so weak as it el as a fortnight ago. It is not possible to quote ai ny change from the low rates set out and 11 immented upon by us last week. The trade in p )reign wheat has not been wholly lacking in 11 lements of firmness, and even American flour, C espite the heavy consignments, is scarcely to be uoted lower from a week ago. Cl ——

IE SEAMEN'S HOSPITAL SOCIETY.I
IE SEAMEN'S HOSPITAL SOCIETY. I The Sixty-ninth Annual Meeting of the Seamen's I )spital Society (late Dreadnought) was held on lesday afternoon, at the Hotel Metropole, Lord H !Orge Hamilton, M.P., the First Lord of the H Imiralty, presiding. His Lordship was supported H the Bishop of Rochester, Admiral Sir Claude H ickle, Admiral Sir Leopold M'Clintoek, Admiral H r Lewis Jones, Sir C. M. Palmer, Mr II. C. I irdett, and a very large number of ladies aDd I ntlemen. H The annual report, which was read by Mr P. I ichelli, the Secretary, stated that the income of I e charity during the year ended 31st December I st bad slightly exceeded the expenditure. Annual I bscriptions showed a gratifying increase, while I her sources of revenue had been well maintained. H ne patients treated in the wards of the hospital at H reenwich represented twenty-six nations, and H imbered altogether 2,198. Besides these there H 3re treated as out-patients at the hospital at H reenwish 4,442; at the dispensary Well Street, ondon Docks, 1,622; and at the dispensary at ravesend, 850. The Chairman, in proposing the adoption of tho I port, said the document which had been read, H 'emed to show a gratifying increase in the scope H the work of the institution, and also a gratifying icrease, to a certain extent, in the income. The H lief object of the Society was to improve the lot of H io.ie who were connected with the oldest and most H 3reditary of all our institutions—the mercantilA H 'rvice. It was difficult to appreciate the enormous ass of traffic which entered the mouth of the H hames, and which brought with it seamen of all H \tions. The great distinctive feature of the H omen's Hospital was its universality. It was )en to the sailors of every race and of every H itionality under the sun, and was ready to help ie maimed and the sick sailor, from whatever part the globe he came. This was a world-wido jject, and that it was successfully carried out, was town by the subscription list, nearly all the H 'owned beads of Eurupe subscribed, and that was distinguished recognition of the admirable H anner in which the hospital performed its work. H hough, no doubt, the lot of sailors had greatly aproved in modern years, and accommodation and tod were now better than they once were; the resstire under which trade and commerce were at resent conducted, and the consequent excessive tertion, together with the substitution of H echanical for manual labour, exposed the men igaged in the mercantile marine to risk of serious H cidents. and rendered them liable to contract ail- H icnts which rendered 1\ seaman's hospital very cces-sary and very valuable. It was was gratify- H 19 to find that the majority of the Managing H ommittee were retired naval officers, and he H ?gretted to find that Mr Frederick Cleeve had been H impelled to resign. Lord George paid a warm )mpliment to Mr Cleeve for the part he had taken H i the management of the institution, and, on ehalf of various of his friends, presented him with n excellent portrait of aimself. Mr Cleeve responded, and expressed himself as eeply gratified at the recognition which had been lade of any services he bad rendered to the institu- ion. The Bishop of Rochester, in moving the adoption f the report, remarked that the Seamen's Hospital ad extended its benefits over the marine world to 10 less than 297,000 people, and that meant an normous amount in the economy of life. The ommunity owed the sailors sympathy and kindness nd help, and by means of the old Dreadnought Gnglish sailors had been helped to recover health ,lid life and usefulness to a very great extent.

SANITARY CLOTHING.I
SANITARY CLOTHING. I It is a good sign of the times that so much lttention is being paid to the study of hygienic ilothing by the more thoughtful of the )eople. Great credit is due to Dr. Jaegar, the sminent German sanitarian, for giving an impetus >0 this important question of sanitary underwear. ut there are others who deserve to be especially loted for the enterprise which they have shown in he production of sanitary clothing. Not the least loteworthy is Tyler and Co's Welsh flannels, H :Ioths, and serges. This enterprising firm are n-oducing real Welsh flannels of a quality that )lace much of he so-called Welsh flannels alto-ether n the shade. The fabrics are made entirely of Jure undyed wool, which fact render them per- ectly sanitary, either for the strong or for invalids. [ndeed, the wool itself is especially selected for Messrs. Tyler and Co.'s productions. In a word, the object of this firm has been to produce and offer to the public the purest and the )est Welsh flannels for which the Welsh have ron a world-wide repute. That this firm has H ,ucceeded well is evident from the fact that all heir productions take the first rank among real elsh flannels. It is not, therefore, wonderful that lie public should begin to discover between the eat and the unreal Wool flannels. And there can )e no doubt that when Messrs. Tyler's productions become more generally known they will have an snormous demand. Indeed, we would strongly idvise the firm to go a step further and adopt Dr. faegar's system of making up their flannels into rests, pants, and hose, ready for immediate wear. Another speciality of tho firm is their Welsh weeds. In thia department, Messrs. Tyler have xhibited the same enterpeise in producing only the iest quality goods. In order to carry out this iurpose, all the firm's real Welsh fabrics are manu- actured fiom specially selected wool, with the ame care as that shown in the production of their Velsh flannels. Here then are three snecialitipa in personal underwear and general attire that comprise an important item in^wearing apparel in every family. It is these specialites that Messrs Tyler and Co., of Llaudyssill, have laid themselves out to supply, and this in the best qnality of wool, in the finest texture of manufacture, and at tbe lowest remunerative prices. In all these three points they have excelled in a way that is most praiseworthy to their enterprising spirit, and we are glad to be able to state that they have obtained awards at four International Exhibitions, namely, Liverpool, Adelaide, Sydney, and Melbourne.—CHRISTIAN UNION.

NAPIER AND GORDON.—On the anniversary of the death of General Gordon, January 26th, an eloquent sermon was preached by tbe Rev. James Fleming, B.D., th« well-known vicar of St. Michael's, Chester Sauare. at Sandrinirham Church, which h published by the special desire of the Prince of Wales. The subject of the discourse was "Napier and Gordon," and the object of the preacher was to recommend to his hearers the cause of the Gordon Boys' Home, at present, apparently, in need of funds. The existing income of the institution is X3,000 only, and an addition of X3,500 annually is urgently needed. Canon Fleming pleads with all his wonted persuasiveness for the children, who are destitute and have none to help them, and strengthens his appeal by the names of Gordon and Napier, who were pre-eminent in their ceaseless devotion to the ititerest3 of the little ones."
