NOTES AND COMMENTS.
NOTES AND COMMENTS. THE FRIENDLY SOCIETIES' CONFERENCE. WHEN Mr. Chamberlain in May last washed his hands of his Old Age Pension schemes,and dismissed the subject to the consideration of the Friendly Societies, he probably hoped to be rid of it for some time to come. The Friendly Societies, he knew well enough, have been debating the topic for the last ten years. But like the lawyer in the litigation for the division of the oyster, who left the two parties the shell, Mr. Chamberlain hoped to distract them from the perception of the fact that the growing impoverishment of the national re- sources increases their difficulty in maintain- ing their existence. Nothing could be more awkward for him than the distressing enthu- siasm with which an admirer, in view of the recent conference of Friendly Societies, im- plored him for a few. words to rally the meeting." "Above all," said the French Foreign Minister to his outgoing Ambassador, not too much zeal I Mr. Chamberlain would do well to impress the same maxim on his followers. He knows well enough how to rally a meeting in favour of Old Age Pensions when elections are in progress, but he rallied the meeting for this enfant terrible in another key. "I hope that those who have the matter in charge will carefully avoid encouraging exaggerated hopes." One seems to hear an echo of Macbeth: "Thou canst not say I did it." We trust that this sanctimonious aspira- tion may be added to the elegant extracts from Mr. Chamberlain's electionering speeches on Old Age Pensions, which form an enter- taining political leaflet. It may be doubted whether so inspiring an utterance proved "of enormous service to the cause," as his corre- spondent fondly anticipated. "If the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself for the battle ? If the recent conference of officers of Friendly Societies has been fertile of em- barrassments for Mr. Chamberlain, it has also revealed painful discords among those to whom an effective scheme of Old Age Pensions might be expected to appeal with cogent force. Wherever a number of organisations for carry- ing out the same objects exist side by side, the jealousy felt by elder to younger, by established and somnolent to pushing and alert institutions,makes itself felt. The recent conference on Old Age Pensions, which has so far ju-t^od itself that it has attracted atten- tion and interest, was called by the Hearts of Oak Yearly Dividing Sooiety. This Society does not appear to hold such rank in respect of wealth and numbers as entitled it, in the opinion of some of the larger Societies, to convene a conference at all. The National Organisation of Friendly Societies was,assorted the objectors, the body to move in the ¡first, instance. Officials who thus stickle ipon points of dignity do not realise that the public is only interested in main issues. It is much more important to produce a workabAi scheme of Old Age Pensions, than to wait until the delicate adjustment of precedence has been agreed upon among the rival Societies. As a matter of fact, despite the abstention of these critics, Societies representing an aggre- gate of 4,000,000 members, or half of the total number of members of Friendly Societies in the .United Kingdom, sent delegates to the Conference. THE Conference was of a preliminary character, but it brought out some interesting facts. It was mentioned by the chairman, Mr. F. H. Medhurst, in his Presidential address, that of the 240,000 members of Friendly Societies of sixty-five years of age and upwards, about 40,000, or one in six, come upon the Poor Rates in their declining years. These are persons who are not suffering from any specific illness which would entitle them to sick-pay, and who have no resources of their own. It is a remarkably large per- centage, considering that it has to do with a picked class, presumably superior in thrift to ordinary persons belonging to the same social oondition. The statement suggests the question, to which no subsequent speaker addressed himself, whether the creation of Old Age Pensions would not tend to the indefinite increase of this class of persons. The tempta- tion would be considerable, if the State-aided pension were on a generous scale, to expend resources as the qualifying age approached. Another point discussed was that fruitful theme, the extent of the interference in the internal administration of the Societies which would be claimed by the State in virtue of its subvention. It was admitted that the State must select the Societies, and it obviously could not be expected to burden the taxpayer with the support of hopelessly insolvent associations. With regard to the difficulty that the State would demand a supervision of accounts, the chairman made the ingenious suggestion that the State would be content to abstain, if the Friendly Societies agreed that the superannuation allowance qualifying for a State pension should be the first charge upon their funds. Clearly the alternative to some such solution is that the Friendly Societies would cease to exist in their present form, With such a change those valuable moral qualities, which they have done so much to develop, of self-help and self-reliance would be sensibly impaired. THE position of Trades Unions in any Old Age Pension scheme also came up for dis- cussion. It is noticeable that the papers which reported the second day's proceedi'lgs of the Friendly Societies' Conference also con- tained a report of the twenty-ninth meeting of the Amalgamated Society of Railway Servants. "Was the Government," asked a speaker at the Conference, "to be asked to help trade organi- sations ? Had not those organisations as good a claim as the Friendly Societies ? The answer was given by the Railway Servants' president, who reminded his audience of Lord Salisbury's description of Trades Unions as cruel organisations." Between Trades Unions and the Tory Government there is so little love lost, that it may be taken for granted that an Old Age Pension scheme acceptable to Lord Salisbury would exclude them. However, Mr. Chamberlain comforts his friends and himself with the reflection that "the present time is not a favourable ono for contemplating largely increased expenditure." Until a Liberal Administration is returned, Friendly Societies may confer and resolve as they please. They are not likely to. gU anything qyjaq,

SPIRITUALISM AT BARRY. ---
SPIRITUALISM AT BARRY. REPLY TO MR GEORGE HEATH Interest in the much-debated question Spiritualism is on the increase, judging 1 the attendance at the Regent-hall, Bar Dock, on Monday evening, when a lectu was given by Mr George Bilbings, of Boot in reply to an address against the ci delivered by Mr George Heath a fortnig previously. The hall was comfortably fillt Mr Adams, president of the Cardiff Spit ualists' Society, occupied the chair. ? Bibbings, who has a volubility of spee and a clear voice and distinct enunciatic delivered an interesting address. Basing I criticism of Mr Heath's statements in t BARRY HERALD as being the most accuré of any published, the speaker referred to t remarks made derogatory of Mrs Besa who, he declared, was an educated and pi woman, despite the lies disseminated ab( her, and was a better woman if she chanf her faith from one of doubt to one of 1 and clear belief. It was an age of doubt( Any man who had reached 75 years of a and had never had a doubt on religi( matters, was lacking in ordinary peroepti Thank God, he said, for the doubte Were it not for these they would miss full glare of the electric searchlight religious matters and grope about for e in semi-darkness. The Bible argum against Spiritualism was an old and a p one. Personally, he did not repudiate Bible, for the Book of Jonah contained of the finest Spiritual lessons to be founc all literature While likiag all the g things of the Bible, however, he disliked its bad things. He liked all its pure thii but as he loved his children and desirec be pure, no one dared in his presence to i certain passages in it. If God wrote tl words, they would be clean enough for little daughters to read; but if they v not clean, then God did not write tb They could never forget the good passage the Bible, and as the Bible taught that t should not allow a witch to live, and Heath had confounded Spiritualists witches, why did he not carry out divine decree and slay him and his lowers ? It had ever been the bogey-cr the oppressor to pick up little passages, as for the Indian feats, he did not think Heath could produce any absolutely cr able story about a man being buried n days and then being exhumed alive. II the Press would have interviewed that i long ago. (Laughter.) If they chose t it by picking up passages in Scripture, might justify polygamy, slavery, and mu if they desired. It was because men never investigated it that they denoui Spiritualism, and ignorance ought to ju; nothing but silence. Those who had vestigated, and did know, were alone ji fied in speaking. As to their belie followed, it led men and women to bee better citizens, and that ought to be comed. Did he believe in the Atonem( Yes, but not in the atonement of blood, finest atonement in the world was surrender to God the Father of their un will. St Paul said, Ye are not unmin of spiritual gifts," and mentions such g and in saying this he did not declare, Mr Heath, that they were "devilish." devilish theory was the weakest aga Spiritualism. The printing press, gas [ luminant, were all once characterisec inventions of the devil, and even J Christ himself was declared by that nam At the close a number of questions A asked, and votes of thanks concluded proceedings.
