The Monmouthshire Sunday County Council have, Concerts. very strict rules in re- spect to Sunday con- certs. The word sacred" is very care- fully prefixed on every advance notice, but more frequently there is little that is sacred in the spirit of their promotion. Sacred is a convenient adjective tacked on to the notices, and the silver collec- tion or threepence in coppers" is a euphemy that sounds very nice. But the real object is to make" something. At any rate, the Monmouthshire County Council and the Blaina Bench of Magistrates understand these ventures in their true light, and had no hesitation in penalising heavily last week. We draw attention to these "Sacred Concerts' for in daring innovations and boldness and frequency they are gradually becoming a secularised speculation—cleverly worked in these Valleys for purposes anything other than "Sacred." The Bishop of The Dearth Llandaff's charge to of Curates. Churchmen at a re- cent meeting was in- teresting reading, but certainly not very conclusive argumertatively. Why are the supply of candidates for Holy Orders de- creasing? The Bishop does not attach much importance to the financial diffi- culty. We are strongly of opinion that prospects of pay and promotion" have great influence in deciding the youth of the country from looking to the clerical profession for an honourable means of living. It is alright professionally to urge the Divine call as the greatest prompter. Clerics of the Estab- lished Church and the Free Churches must live, and in our opinion ought to have substantial means of living. While there is a dearth of candidates for Holy Orders, it is not so in the Free Churches. The real deterrent to the Church minis- try is that curates' promotion is so largely dependent on patronage, while a young preacher aspirant in the Free Churches will receive promotion if he can prove power and ability in the pulpit. Our Bishop urged that not a few of the more serious and thoughtful of their youth were eo perplexed with the theo- logical differences of the leaders of thought in Church teaching as to frighten candidates." He further argued the secularisation of the schools-a doubtful premise when it is remembered that half the children of the country are receiving the geiauine, religious instruction in de- nominational schools. Surely, such teach- ing has not been a failure, and produc- tively it is reasonable that it should have maintained the flow of confirmation can- didates at the normal supply." And this under conditions when the Parish Priest was the dominant ruler of the Church Schools. With every deference to the venerable Bishop, we are compelled to confess that his address was full of in- consistencies to our reading of facts. Let the Church be constituted free from State trammels, and let promotion and advance- ment be the reward of merit and ability, and then the natural law of supply and demand will take care of candidates for Holy Orders. Major Quin The debate and against division in the House Labour. of Commons on Friday evening on Mr. Shackleton's Bill commanded a large attendance. The Government's attempt to shelve responsibility by offering a Royal Commission-the usual deviee which it, has to put, aside the difficulty of a straight issue—was not, accepted. The Bill was simplicity itself. It only sought two main purposes: (1) To legalise peace- ful picketing during trades disputes; (2) t) provide that nothing done in combina- tion shall be an offence unless it be an offence if committed by a single person. We hear a great, deal about the Tory sym- pathy with the Labour cause. The poor blind folks in South Glamorgan who were cajoled to vote for the genial Major on the premise that the Tories have been better friends to Labour than the Liberals have something to chew their political cud with when perusing the division list. What will they find? That 248 Tories voted solidly against this elementary jus- tice to Labour in its fight with Capital. Ask many of these constitutionalists what is fairplay in the ordinary rules of a fight, and they will say equal conditions, the same rule for each side. That's what Mr. Shackleton and the labour and Liberal Party asked by backing this Bill, Major Wyndham Quin had been asked definitely by the Barry Trades council to support Mr. Shackleton. Instead, how- ever, he voted wiui his Ministerial mas- ters and against the workers in his con- stituency. We do not blame the genial Major very much. He stood by his class and by his people, but we cannot sym- pathise with the Trades Unionists of South Glamorgan who send to the House of Commons one of the classes when one of the masses would be more to the pur- pose as a representative. It is an absolute How to Live truism that. more to be a people die from over- Hundred. eating than under. eating. The bread", basket is the seat of all ailments. Many dishes, many diseases and if people would eat to live, and not live to eat, the holi- days of one honourable professional could be safely and pleasantly extended. In the May number of Hie "Sunday Magazine" the Rev. F. B. Meyer, a divinely gifted minister of the times, has a, very interest- ing article on the subject which heads this note. As regard diet, he says: Let my reader who is going to start with me on this long race make a mental note, "I must eat less, and I henceforth rise from every meal able. to eat more, if not posi- tively hungry." Yes, gentle reader, but you hardly realise how hard the task will be, or how much self-control you will have to exert. Remember, too, that there must be no bites" between meals, any more than the semi-teetotalers will permit drinks." We shall have to come back to the food, though not necessariiy the attire, of John the Baptist, with good water for our drink and honey fpr out sweets, only substituting for his locusts good wholemeal bread or oatmeal porridge. The distinguished preacher strongly ad- vocates exercise if the centenarian years are to be reached, and places his rules on an equality of importance to those set out on diet; but last, not least. by any means, he places the necessity of pre- servinqr the supremacy of the soul over the body. and the cultivation of a dis- position sunshiny and cheerful. How to get on in Carnegie the world" is about and his the most universal Millions. study among men. Mr. Carnegie has been delivering his presidential address to the Iron and Steel Institute. He spoke entirely upon his experience in the busi- ness department. Management of the "man," not the material, was his theme, and the pith and moral of all he had to say was: Every workman a partner." There is no doubt that the ideal thing is that the workman should profit by the prosperity of the business in which he works; If this be done there is an end to the race of the "hired servant" and his dull monotonous service. The Carnegie Steel Company had not gone very far in manufacturing before discovering that perfect management in every department was needed, and that that depended upon the men in charge. They began to in- terest the young geniuses around them as they proved their ability to achieve unusual results (the source of big divi- dends). The next step was to bring about a union of the business and mechanical departments of the company. The men having others under their charge were given an interest in the proceedings or savings in cost in their department. This plan of rewarding according to results had proved, its efficiency, and was bound to prevail in a greater or less degree in manufacturing concerns. The great secret of success in business of all kinds was a liberal division of profits among the men who helped to make them, and the wider the distribution the better. One of the chief sources of the success of the Car- negie Steel Company was undoubtedly its policy of making numerous partners from among the ablest of its men and interest- ing so many others of ability in results. When the day comes when the workman is partner, there will be an end to con- flicts and strife between capital aJid labour. The words of Mr. Carnegie cer- tainly cannot ba disdainfully brushed aside as something hovering the air. He has worked it out, and no better wit- ness is needed than that practically pay, for Carnegie's millions are no phan- tom millions like Madame Humbert's. This will, no doubt, seem to be dreadfully re- volutionary doctrine to Lord Penrhyn, but, as Mr. Carnegie pointed out, the re- d have lations of employer and employed have now entirely changed. It is astonishing to recollect that even as late as 17 villeinage still lingered in Scotland, aU that miners and labourers were prac- tically transferred with the mine when i* was sold. The mine-owner no doubt in- sisted on doing what he liked with IS own."
