Mardy. It is very gratifying to note the high percentage of marks gained by the two pupils entered by Mrs. Rathbone, of Ferndale, in the last examination of the London College of Music —William D. Evans, Mardy, intermediate honours in American organ playing, and Maggie Jones, Mardy, primary, 85 marks each.
Tylorstown.
Tylorstown. It is with great pain that we have to announce the death of Mr. W. S. D. Martin, who died on the 4th inst., after a short illness. Mr. Martin was an assis- tant teacher at Pontygwaith Schools, and a faithful member of the Church at Tylorstown, where he was an honorary lay reader. He was locally well-known as the correspondent of the "Rhondda Leader," and worked hard during his short lifetime to improve the moral conditions of the youth of Tylorstown. He was very popu- lar and well-liked by all classes. The funeral took place on Wednesday at Llethrddu, the officiating minister being the Rev. J. Rees, vicar of Tylorstown. The tradesmen of Tylorstown, the teach- ing profession, the Church, and the general public were well represented. Beautiful wreaths were sent by relatives, friends, and the Tylorstown Church. We sincerely sympathise with Mr. and Mrs. Martin in the loss of their beloved son, cut off in the prime of his days.

Ton.
Ton. Another revival wave has swept over .some of the churches at Ton. A large number went, during the holidays, to the great revival meetings at Pontypridd, and they felt and saw great things there, and the result is that open-air meetings are and have been held nightly in this locality since, attended by many hundreds. It is without a doubt safe to say that open-air meetings are and always will be popular, and it is to be hoped that. a continuous open-air propaganda will be made through- out the district, as the people who never frequent any place of worship are then reached. The great. question has always been, how to reach the masses. One way to do so is to go among them and preach the Gospel. Several have during last week been influenced through the meetings held to abstain from their old lives, and live the new. Such work and results cannot hut have a beneficial effect on all con- cerned in it. We venture to think that if a vigorous outdoor campaign were organised for a few weeks throughout the Valley, a great and permanent change in the habits and lives of the people would be the result. -+- At, Maindy Road, Ton, on Sunday even- ing last, another of the series of open-air temperance meetings was held. There were a very laro number of people pre- sent. The meeting was conducted by Mr. Thomas Lewis, Bailey Street, Ton, and the speakers were the Rev. John Williams, Hafod (the chairman of the Rhondda Temperance Defence League) the Rev. D. Christmas Lewis, Barry; the Rev. Edward Owen, Eglwysbach, Car- diganshire. ML Williams, who spoke in Welsh, said the glorious revival had taught us to go out into the open, to the high- ways and byways. to advocate temperance principles, as well as to offer and preach Christ to the people. It was often a hard struggle to take part in the open- air meetings; but after so doing for a few times, one came to like it greatly. The principle of temperance was well worthy of being proclaimed in all places. There was one thing characteristic of all who were brought truly under the influ- ence of the revival—that was that they were convinced that there was to be no alliance with the drink traffic. Mr. Lewis, of Barry, gave a brief address in English, in the course of which he made reference to the idea that was prevalent at one time in this country, notably in the eighteenth century, that to be drunk was respectable. It was then thought that it was a proper thing for a lord of the realm to be always drunk, hence the term drunk as a lord." He noticed by certain statistics which appeared last week in the weekly papers, that the democracy of Great Britain was slowly but surely realising that it was against their best interests to drink alcoholic beverages, hence the decrease in the revenue. He pleaded for a pure church, church free from the trammels of drink. How could the church fight the traffic if there were members who patronised it? It was a case of making the fight doubly hard for those who had deep convictions. How many a poor man had been driven further and deeper into this horrible habit through seeing a church member sitting in a public-house and taking his glass? He prayed that there were none

Ystrad.
Ystrad. An occurrence of vital importance to the English Baptist Church at Ystrad- Rhondda took place on Sunday, when the new pastor, the Rev. E. P. Groome, late of Bath, commenced his duties. He preached powerfully, both morning and evening. This move on the part of the church fills a long-felt want, as there is a splendid scope for an energetic pastor in this part of the Valley. We wish him and the church every prosperity, and hope that they may at all times work hand- in-hand. Next month will witness another great gathering in this locality, when the Eng- lish Grand Lodge of Wales, I.O.G.T., will hold its annual meetings, under the aus- pices of the North-East Glamorgan Dis- trict. at the James's Hall. About 160 representatives are expected to attend this conference and take part in the pro- ceedings. The local lodges have a great undertaking, but with the earnestness which they always possess, they will, by again doing their best, be able to accom- plish the work with ease. The work will occupy four days—September 11th, 12th, 13th and 14th—when some of the greatest temperance orators of the kingdom are expected to speak. Meetings will also be held at the various chapels in the even- ings, when these speakers will be distri- buted all over the neighbourhood. We shall not be able to give them a mayoral reception, as is the case in our large towns when these meetings are held there, but with a little loyalty on our part. we can give them the honest welcome which is always given to other delegates when visiting us.

Tonyrefail.
Tonyrefail. We congratulate Miss, M. A. Morris on her grand success at the National Eis- teddfod. Miss Morris won the soprano I solo, the mezzo-soprano solo, and also in the trio. We also congratulate the Rev. J. Gwrhyd Lewis, who won a. prize of L25. Mr. James T. Evans, M.A.. who seven years ago was working as a miner at the Tylorstown Colliery, has proved a very ardent student, and his efforts have been crowned with success. We are most pleased to note the success of Mr. Evan John Rowland, who has recently obtained his B.A. Mr. Rowland studied at Aberystwyth College, and is only 22 years of age.
Gilfach Goch.
Gilfach Goch. The Gilfach Goch United Choir, which is under the conductorship of Mr. J. H. Richards, Tonyrefail, took the first prize of C20 at the Bridgend Eisteddfod. We are pleased to note that the choir is making such good progress. The accom- panists of the choir are Mr. T. D. Edwards, Pontypridd, and Mr. Hopkins, Gilfach Goch. The choir has been most substantiallv patronised by Mr. J. Blandy Jenkins, Llanharran; Mr. S. T. Evans, M.P. Mrs. Gwilym Williams, Miskin Manor; Mr. Meyler Thomas, Ynysplwm.

Treherbert. The numerous friends of Miss Mary Ann Haddock, of Treherbert (whose name appeared in the press as Marion Haddock), will be pleased to hear of her success at the Mountain Ash National Eisteddfod. This is her third national prize for penillion singing, having previously won at Liverpool and Merthyr. We wish her all future success in her efforts to revive the old Welsh style of singing.
Gelli.
Gelli. The church at Siloam (B.), which has been without a pastor for a period, has given an unanimous call to the Rev. J. Glyn Price, Penydarren, Merthyr, to the pastorate. Mr. Price is a young man and a very promising preacher. He has a great field to work in, and we arc sure he will receive the most hearty support of all the Gelli people to make the church a successful and powerful one in the locality. While on the question of religious work, we are exceedingly glad to report that the revival seems to be gaining ground again in this locality. The different churches feel that the Divine Power is quite as strong amongst them as it has ever been during the last few months; open-air meetings are held which elevate the people, and the fervour of some of the converts, and the marvellous stories of their conversion, creates a desire amongst the fallen to join, and we feel proud to state that they are still coming. The mission which was commenced by the friends of Jerusalem, Ton, at Gelli Road is in a very flourishing condition a large number of children and women attend the services, and great interest prevails among all regarding the welfare of the new undertaking. We hope it will flourish, and that it will be the means of making us all better men and women.

Treorchy.
Treorchy. A correspondent writes:—Treorchy was disappointed at the results of the N atjoll Eisteddfod at Mountain Ash. It had reasonably looked forward to the capture of at least a few prizes with the gala^ of talent fighting for supremacy, and 1 would only be putting it very mild tel say that the awards caused a great dea of dissatisfaction to competitors and admirers alike. Miss Alice Cove, in Cow, pany- with that brilliant contralto f1'0' Ferndale, secured a clever win in duet for soprano and contralto, while local choir, under Mr. Rd. Lewis, half of tin1 second price in the seco# choral competition. With that we hae i said all, as the other vocalists, both 111 solos, trios. &c., did not survive the jtff liminary tests, much to our surprise. ™ should like to know the standard uP0,_ which adjudicators base their adjudicW tions, and also their justification for stplJ ping the progress of a singer after sing1 jj a few bars of music only. To them action may appear feasible, but to J*. uninitiated onlooker and the ambiti0^ soloist who has devoted some months hard and constant study in the prepay tion of his or her task, ifc is a myst^'j, that requires some explanation. We hardly think that the fate of a compete in the national contest can or ought 1 be decided upon fragmentary tests, than a football match should be decio i upon the first half of the play. To w out from a, large number of compet.Itol Ý and select' two or three for the_ stage, and is undoubtedly a tedious job for a *i which aims or presumes to aim at ing and cultivating the art of ^111 throushout the breadth of the land; it must, in the foregoing instance, as believe in manv others, be belying 'U The choir did well to share the of war, but we do not see why it sfro not have climbed a little higher still- g( ^judication contained no eriticj.sn1 fault other than that of over-train11}.^ an excellent fault, by the way, but ^jjl. cost them the much coveted prize. g{ Mr. Rd.

present guilty of such an inconsistent action; if so, he entreated them in the name of Jesus Christ to abstain entirely from it, and surrender themselves entirely to His service. He appealed to the fathers and mothers present to set a proper example before their children in regard to this. He knew of a young man who had led a rough life, who had at the earlier stages of the revival decided to turn over a new leaf and had kept so for .some time; but, sad to relate, that he was now worse than ever he had been before, all through his mother's bad and intemperate example. If Wales was to be a country in the future free from this pernicioti-s drink traffic, it behoved the present-day parents to train the children up properly with regard to this matter. He made a fine appeal to the young people present to identify themselves with the temperance movement, actively and defi- nitely, so that they might, have a share in the struggles for the redemption of their fellow-men from the ravages of drink. After the address, the meeting was thrown open. Several short addresses and powerful prayers were given, which added considerably to the interest of the meeting. It is felt that these meetings are a powerful factor in the locality, and they promote a healthy and necessary interest in the temperance movement, and the interest taken by a large number of young people augurs well for the future of the movement in these parts.
