Mr. GwiJym Price, Cardiff's favourite tensr and gold medallist (Bristol), will sing a sacred solo. PARK CYIOFLALSOCIFTY.-The choir, under the veteran leadership of Mr. Dan Davies, are hard at work upon Judas Maccabseus," and in the course of the next week or so hope to fix the date of the performance, for which readers are asked to follow the advertisement columns of this paper. SALE OF FcKxmntE AND SAFES—As will be seen by our advertising columns, Mr. J. L. Cunningham will sell by auction, at the Drill Hall, Merthyr Tydfd, on Wednesday next, the 9th inst., at 2.30 o'clock in the afternoon and 7 in the evening, a large quantity of household furniture, including a beautiful-toned piano and six tire-proof safes and a-s the auctioneer is selling without reserve, it should be a rare opportunity for parties furnishing to secure bargains. FORTHCOMING PERFORMANCE.—Now that the election is over music-lovers of Merthyr and district are reminded that a rare treat is in store for them on Thursday next, February 10th, at Zion Baptist Church, Twynyrodyn, when Haydn's masterpiece, The Creation," will be performed by Zion Choral Society (conducted by Mr. T. Morgan Jones). The choir have thoroughly mastered the intricate choruses, and form a very fine body of singers. The committee have been fortunate in securing the services of Mr. Emlyn Davies, A.R.A.M., baritone, whose name is a household word Miss Alicia Cove, L.R.A.M., soprano, who has been specially trained for this work by Mr. Henry J. Wood (Queen's Hall, London) and Mr. Evan Lewis, the brilliant North Wales tenor, winner of' many championships. The tickets arc being eagerly taken up. HOPE CHURCH YOUNG PEOPLE'S GUILD.—At the meeting, on Tuesday, a debate took place the subject being li Should the House of Lords be abolished ?" The paper for the affirmative was read by Mr. R. Glanville Owen, who treated the subject in a very skilful manner. He gave a number of reasons why the House ,ih of Lords should be abolished and ridiculed the idea of our being governed by an hereditary chamber.—Mr. Herbert J. Charles took up what must appear to be. (in Wales, at any rate) the unpopular side of the debate, and in an admirable paper emphasised the good qualities of several members of the present House of Lords, and pointed out that these talented men were the members who did the work of the Second Chamber.—Upon a vote being taken, it showed a large majority in favour of abolishing the Upper Chamber. SALVATION ARMY.—The 32nd anniversary of the Merthyr Corps was an all-round success, and one of the best that has taken place. The services were conducted by ex-Staff-Captain and Mrs. David Morgan, and the T real aw Band. The opening of the campaign on Satur- day night was of an enthusiastic character, the visitors being given a rousing reception. At Sunday morning's service Mrs. Morgan delivered a very touching address. The afternoon muscal festival by Trealaw Band was thorough- ly enjoyed by all present. At night the hall was packed. The band rendered by request, Thoughts from the Great Masters" and Jehovsth" selections. Then an address was delivered by Bro. Morgan, and there were seven converts. On Monday a birthday tea was held, several of the surrounding corps uniting, followed by a praise festival, in which the Troedyrhiw, Tirphil and Merthyr Bands took part. An interesting item of this meeting wa.s the reading of the first report ever sent from Merthyr to I the Christian Mission Magazine." Six of the oldest members who joined in the first year of the Army's advent into Merthyr, were pre- sented with illuminated addresses, viz. :— Sisters Roberts and Rogers, Brothers Silke, Evans, Davies and Jones. Messages were also read from old officers who ha.ve been at Merthyr. It is interesting to no that two old Merthyr boys are now leading officers in the Salvation Army, viz. Commissioner Richards, who is in charge of the work in South Africa, and Lieut.-Col. Rees, commanding the operations io Newfoundland. THE WASTE OF HUMAN LIFE.—At Zion IS Baptist Chapel, Twynyrodyn, on Sunday last, a stirring sermon was delivered by the Rev. W. A. Jones (pastor), in the course of which he commented upon what he considered the biggest problem of the day, viz. The Waste of Human Life, and the lack of loyalty to the Master." The different classes were carefully noted, and he said it was disgusting to see the loafers standing at tho street corners, even in Merthyr, with their hands in their pockets, professing to be looking for work, and hoping at the same time that it would never cross their path these, he said, could be classed as the wastrels. His deepest sympathy went out to those who, through no fault of their own, could not find work. Socialism was one of the chief questions of. the day. What did it mean ? A protest against self; hence it was only another word for sacrifice, which ideal was set by Christ. Edifeon said there waa sufficient strength in a pound of coal to go round the world, and in future problems would be that of economising coal. People of to-day did not utilise the many talents they possessed in the proper manner. It was true that many cases had been recorded of men reforming large areas, but there seemed to be a lack of the necessary cohesion in minis- tering to the spiritual wants of the people. Temporal things retained a great hold on the people. One of the glories of the future, lie hoped, would be to extract from this world all the goodness instead of wasting it. Christ Himself did not believe in extravagance. If they attended the various county courts, bankruptcy courts, and police courts of to-day, they would observe that the causes of failure were surroundings, bad conduct, etc. Failure in life was due to a lack of perception. Unless a member attended church in the proper spirit, his mission would not be fulfilled. The change of membership from one church to another, in many cases. was attributed to the lack of equality of balance of circumstances, and unless such be brought about, peace will not be a dominant factor in their lives.

The Bishop of Bath and Well?, proposing the toast of ';Someeset—Our County." at the annual dinner of the Society of Somonefr Men in London, on Tuesday evening, said he regretted that at the tending of so much milfc to London was to the disadvantage of Son.er- set children, for they found it quite difficult; to. get milk. There was also a difficulty in get- ting people to come and milk the cows. Many of them, no doubt, held the idea that it was the acme of ail de.iire to settle theincaivc-s in London, but they had set a vary bad example' to the young men in the county. One of the things they ought to try and do was to try and make people realise that the happiness of coun- try life was far greater than the happiness of city life.
