FRIDAY, MAY 13TH, 1910.
FRIDAY, MAY 13TH, 1910. i SINCE last we addressed our readers the entire focus *and balance of a nation's thought has been altered by the inscrutable will of Almighty God. Death, with a. stroke so swift and unforeseen as almost to paralyse the faculty of perception and the power of relief, has laid its hand upon KiNG EDWARD 'VII. Ere yet-so it seemed—his people had prepared their minds even to anticipate the end, the end had come; and our country and the Empire were plunged in grief for a bereavement as irreparable as it was unapprehended. It was only in the evening of Thursday of last week that the first hint of KiNG EDWARD'S illness was made public In the shape of a bulletin signed by his chief medical advisers. Befor midnight on Friday he had passed to his eterna rest.

OVERPOWERING though the first shock of such a blo must be, it is only with the lapse of time that it can be ful!y felt. Time but heals to wound again; and the capacity of ordered reflection and recollec tion returns only to bring home with yet mor poignant grief a deeper appreciation of our loss. Idol of his people's admiration and participator of their common interests, it is as easy to discover the source of KiNG EDWARD'S popularity as it would be dimcult to overstate his royal services to the domin ions over which he was called to rule. When he ascended the Throne of the United Kingdom, his country was engaged in an exhausting and distract ing was of which the end was not yet in sight.

FOR reasons into which we need not enter here, the accumulated force of the century-old prejudices and jealousies of foreign nations had concentrated against the British Empire in its struggle with the Boer Republics. A hasty word, a single false step, as it then appeared, might have precipitated half the continent of Europe in armed assault upon our shores. Our closest neighbours—now, happily, our closest friends as well-still held us up to hatred as "perfidious Albion." Survey Europe to-day, and what do we find? A continent plunged in unfeigned grief and dismay at the passing of a MONARCH known, honoured, and esteemed in all its capitals as the greatest Ambassador of Peace the world has seen. In that noble capacity our late KiNG served not merely his country but the world, not merely for his own time but. for all time. As EDWARD THE PEACE- MAKER his memory will be cherished not only in hia own dominions but in those foreign lands where he was ever the welcome and the coveted missioner of international understanding and good will.
[No title]
IF Britain has enemies in Europe to-day, the cause of Peace has incomparably more well-wishers than ten years ago; and of these not one will gainsay the great part which KiNG EDWARD played in that happy transformation. To say that is In no way to depreciate the labours of his Ministers of Foreign Affairs, or to imply that he ever transgressed the constitutional bounds which limited his sphere o action; nor is it to suggest that for one moment he could have been held capable of any sacrifice of that national pride and patriotism in which he yielde to none among his subjects. It was, on the con trary, the unbounded confidence reposed in him, as a patriotic and constitutional MONARCH, that enabl him to win for the British Crown, both abroad a at home, a prestige which it has not enjoyed sine the classic days of European conquest and Colonial expansion.

TURNING to those personal attributes which endeared KiNG EDWARO even to thoae who viewed him from afar, we cannot but offer a respectful tribute o sorrowing sympathy to those who most Intimately mourn his toss, and especially to her whom we must now style the Queen-Mother. Of a trath, the heart of the nation and the Empire goes out to that gracious Lady who came to us, in the heyday of her youth and bpauty, a winsome Danish Princess, and who mourns In our midst to-day, a widowed English Queen. To her is reverently accorded the heartfelt condolence of Ki\G EDWARD'S people—that people in whose daily pleasures and sorrows cur late 80V:E¥IGK, above alt things a. human and accessible MONARCH, so fully shared; for whom he personified 30 much that they most. admired;; and to whom, in the faithful and punctual discharge of his kingly duties, he eet so rare an example. Lord of his people and their trusted friend. God rest KitfG EDWARD!
NOTES OF THE WEEK.
NOTES OF THE WEEK. Congratulations to Alderman T. Watkins, chairman of the Uandovcry Board of Guardians, who, on Mon- day fast, celebrated his 14th year aB alderman of the Llandovery Town Council. He succeeded the late Dr. Thomas, of Mile End. In accordance with ihe expressed wish. of His 'Majesty King George V.. the Sports at Carmarthen .Park on Whit-Monday will take place as arranged, .notwithstanding the fact that the nation is in mourn- ing ofter the late King-. -? .¡c- At a certain place of worship in one of the valleys on Sunday evening the young lady who presided at 'the organ struck up the "Dead March" in "Saul." The congregation sat down. and the collecting plates were sent round while the "March" was played. -? Mr. E. P. Lloyd, J.P., Glansevin, and Mr. Evan Davies, late Dugoidydd, received a very warm wel- come on their return as co-opted members to the last meeting of the Llandovery Board of Guardians. Both have been members for a period of between 30 and 40 years. Mr. W. T. Morgan, of Cardiff, an old Llandovpry ?oy. having been born at the Wheat Sheaf Inn, In that town, will be one of ths judges at the Llan- dovery carnival, run in connection with the Whit- Monday contests'. Mr. Morgan had considerable ex- perience in the pageant at Cardiff. Mr. Walter Spurrpll and Mr. Frank Green, while examining the vautts of Kidweliy Castle the other day, found a nne specimen of the greater horse-shoe bat, and captured it alive. This is the only in- stance of this member of the bat family recorded in Carmarthenshire. On the Kidweliy burrows the' 'same day some wheatears were seen by Mr. T. W. Barker. -? Lord Rosebery celebrated his 65rd birthday on Saturday last. In 1878 he married the greatest actress In England, the daughter of Baron Meyer de Rothschild. Brilliant orator, author, and statesman. Lord Rosebery has thrjce won the Derby, and there is a strong probability that he will carry oK the- 3lue ribbon of the turf a third time with ''Nell 3ow." The Rev. G. Eyre Evans, of Aberystwyth, had a. peculiar surprise the other night. He had just delivered his popular lecture on "Old Welsh punish- ments" at Dublin when Sir Charles Cameron, C.B.. the chairman, called upon a gentleman to second. This was done entirely in Welsh. Mr. Evana never expected to hear Welsh In Dublin, but the whole Wekh colony were present. The patriotic seconder was Mr. David Jones, of Cribin, who is the chairman of the Dublin St. David's Society. The "Grand Rapids (MIch.) Prp& of April 15, publishes an Associated Press telegram from Mont- clair, New Jersey, which says: "The town of Mont- clair believes that prosperity has come to stay. There are no poor left In the township, and the omclals have decided to abolish the poorhouse. The milding will be torn down this summer and the and converted to the park department fo use as a playground." We have never heard of any town In ;he United Kingdom where they had to pull down ;he workhouse for want of paupers. But, then, thi& Is a. "Free Trade" country, and the United States s Protectionist. Eight prominent Labourists, supporters of that monumental tower of foolishness called Free Trade, are at present scouring Germany m the mistaken iope of finding Pumpernickel, horseSesh, and un- employment, all three of which are practically non- existent in that country. If these political pilgrims )ring' back favourable reports, we may expect to ear a good deal about "German education and en- igbtenment"; but should they pour woeful tales of lunger and distress Into the sympathetic ears of their bellow Free Traders, we may rest assured that it all due to the folly of Protection. It's a little way Free Traders have'
* * * TO THE MEMORY OF KING…
TO THE MEMORY OF KING EDWARD VII. (By a Member of Saint Peter's Lodge of Free- masons.) Wise in Council, true as steel Working for the Nation'a weal; Ruler over lands and sea, King, our thanks we render thee. Monarchs there have been of yore. Whose renown was gained by war; Praise we all till time shall cease, This our King—whose aim was peace. Master of the Masons Free, Brethren all we were to thee; Mourn we know with solemn state, This, our brother, truly grea.t. Apropos of the note which appeared last week reo. "Cadw Mis" (("Keeping the Month"), and the refer- ence made to the inspiring effects of the ale brewed. a. good story is told of a once well-known divine la South Wales—but who has long since "Crossed the bar." The old minister, together with a younger brother minister, had been omciating- at "big meet- ings" in a certain part of Wales. After service they retired to the farm where the "month" was kept. Supper being over, the host brought In to them a. "jug of ale, a jar of tobacco, and some pipes." The young minister remarked, "There stand two of the greatest enemies of mankind." Whereupon the elder divine Immediately replied, "Sefwch fynud, mi llynca, I un ac fe llosga y Hall" ("Wait a moment, I will swallow one, and the other I will burn.") An interesting paragraph, inspired by Its London correspondent, appeared in the Issu'e of the "South Wales Daily News" of the 4th Inst. According to- this writer, the long delay in the Issue of the main report and minority reports of the Welsh Church. Commission is nearly at an end. From the Chwrch point of view these documents will be of remark- able interest and Importance. They will comprise) something In the nature of a series of revised essays upon every department of the subject, put together with great literary skill and logical completeness. The writer goes on to say that advantage has been taken of the delay to revise the Church statistics, and one result of this has been tG show that the communicants of the Church In Wales have In- creased by something like 10,000 In the last two or three years. Aa far as we know, no further stepa have been taken omclally to bring the lists of communicants up to date, and, judging from the number of those connrmed during the last two or three years, the increase of communicants Is prob- ably larger than the number given above. In the LIandag diocese alone, Bo? iM&tZM), WtM than 5,000 ere connrmed last year.
