Jenkins, pastor, presided, and the lecturer was Mr. Meredith Davies, who has just completed his studies in theology in Germany. He dealt with the origin of the Established Church, and showed how it formerly was a Church State, and not a State Church. His chief argument for disestablish- ment was on the ground of religious equality for all denominations. Why should not Dr. Clifford, Dr. Horton and other such leaders sit in the House'of Lords, as well as the Bishops ? His address was much appreciated. Questions were asked at the close by Messrs. Thomas Maddy (grocer) and D. E. Davies, who were answered satisfactorily. POLITICAL MEETINGS.—Never before has such enthusiasm on behalf of the Liberal cause been shown locally as at Bethany and Gwawr Chapels, on Monday night.

Earlier in the evening Mr. J. Keir Hardie, supported by Mr. Bruce Glasier, had a good meeting at the Public Hall.

At the miscellaneous concert which followed the chair was occupied by Mr. J. Martin, head mechanic of the P.D. collieries. He expressed his pleasure at the fact that the Fire Brigade was composed entirely of voluntary workers in the local pits. They were devoted to their noblejwork, and deigned it not beneath their duty to extend help in every outside sphere, whenever came the call (cheers). An overture on the piano was given by Mr. Richard Everett, who also acted as accompanist. A selection on the harp, entitled The Waterfalls," was played by Mr. T. Davies (Telynor Aman), who was loudly cheered. Mr. Roberts, the hon. secretary of the Brigade, next spoke, and referred to the men's excellent attendance at drill, and their consequence perfeet discipline.' This, he said, was all the more creditable to them of late, inasmuch as their captain, Mr. George Wyatt, had been laid up and had recently undergone a serious operation. Songs were afterwards given by Messrs. Watkin Phillips, Gwilym Phillips, Joseph Evans (Digri Dar), Gwilym Hopkins, W. Jones and Samuel Miles. Gramaphone selections were given under the supervision of Mr. Maund, mechanic. A song and dance, The Lily of Laguna," by Mr. Gwilym Hopkins, enraptured the audience, while The Soldiers' Chorus," rendered by special request, by Messrs. Watkin and Gwilym Phillips, S. Miles and Joe Evans, was well received. A vote of sympathy with Mr. George Wyatt, captain of the Fire Brigade, was passed in silence.

I Politics from the Pulpit. CWMAMAN CONGREGATION SUR- PRISED. Preaching at Scion Welsh Baptist Church, Cwmaman, on Sunday evening, the Rev. J. Jenkins (Gwili) surprised and even startled some of his congregation. The chapel was crowded, there being many present from the Congregational and Calvinistic Methodist Churches. Gwili has been tabooed by several Welsh Baptists on account of his Socialistic views, so that his pronouncements were not altogether unexpected. He took as his text: Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His Righteousness "-Matt. vi., 33. He made a slashing attack upon the Lords, who, he said, had appropriated the land which was given to the people. Further, the preacher openly advocated the giving of one vote in favour of Mr. Keir Hardie, an expression of opinion which came as a thunderbolt to the congre- gation.

At half-time, Cwm- bach led by one goal to nil, a second goal being scored in the second moiety, leaving the home- sters winners by two goals to love. Both points were scored by Dick Davies.

Mr. Williams gave a very appreciative resume of the bard's life, and gave apt quota- tions from his principal quotations. Those beautiful verses, "Blodeuyn bach wyf fi mewn gardd," etc., were recited with good effect. Mr. Thomas Rees's paper dealt with the famous Dr. Rees (Hiraethog), whose admirable quali- tias as a preacher, poet, and hymn-writer were enlarged upon. Mr. Tom Williams dealt with "Watcyn Wyn." The latter's versa.tility as a preacher, schoolmaster, author, and verse-writ- er, were pointed out in a lengthy and weil- written paper.

I „ I v Pleasant Winter Evenings. iV- Winter with its dull days and long evenings Is often a source of anxiety to careful mothers and thoughtful hostesses, who feel the responsibility of amusing their families aud entertaining their friends. All such will be grateful to Messrs. MoRTimzit, Publishers, of Halifax, for the facilities they have provided in the Court" Series of Card Games which includes the following and other games:— J5^.i ,c I v COURT WHIST has already become famous. {In whatever part of the United Kingdom it P»as been introduced it has carried all before it, And obtained a position on the programmes of vboth large and small parties. The touch of jhnmour and the simplicity of the variations fprobablv account for its Buccess. SOCIAL PTKIST appeals to the speculative ideas of the /players, and the fun becomes fast-and-furious the various games procecd. There will be sio difficulty in developing the social instincts iCi the company where this game is introduced. 1'IMHMWMA 1 4 All j ')t i iinw ■ i .^OlTANnwHiST is a happy combination of Golf iaud Whist. The Golf Player is reminded of | the tee, the course, and the green; also of the (penalties attached to foozleing and other bad play. Those who have never been on any Golf 'links can understand and enjoy the game, so that it is adapted for any company. IMPERIAL WHIST provides for one or two competitions to | be included in this game. Great Britain and '-Its chief Colonies are named in the headings f of the different sections, and the variations are ,so simple that a novice in card playing can y, Tax r r f I't 0 tr' .r ?:D 1 i I; f1 i II ■■ T F follow them. CINDBRKLIA WHIST is of a similar character to the foregoing but of twelve rounds only, and is appreciated when the evening is divided between Whist, Dancing, and Games. The Designs on the ordinary Progressive Whist and Bridge Scoring Cards are noteworthy for their originality and appropriateness. The difficulty of breaking the ice when a mixed company assemble is solved by the use of Pairing Badges. They introduce strangers I ,er to each other, and promote good feeling at the p To" Pkm t-; Sanoil I GKX3CS3C? beginning of the evening instead of when the parties are about to go home. There are six sets in the Court Series, 'Thumb Prints,' Nosh's Ark,' 'Popular Plays,' 'Book Titles,' 'Sporting,' and 'Comic Band,' all of which introduce the touch of humour so much desired We recommend an early visit to your Stationers to see this useful collection of aids fat securing a oleasant Winter Evening. f H.
