— The Sabbath Day. Sunday, in our rest from bodily labour and em- Ploymelit, in the thoughts it suggests, the prospects °pens, the hope it confirms, is a day taken from ln,e and made a portion of eternity. ADAM. Rest is only rightly used when it is intended as a Separation for further service. Sunday is only S ly queen of the week when it is used to acquire thin its golden hours mastery over mammon and he world, and daily care, and as a p-eparation to those engagement, duties, and difficulties ( *«ich shall press upon us on the coming morning. >• DR PARKER, s Nations on the line of your journey are not your bed" enc^' kut each one brings you nearer.

R*. Labour and Wait.
R* Labour and Wait. Think not that martyrs die in vain; Think not that truth so soon will fail; We only break to form again, y We only bow before the gale. A There groweth up a mighty will, And time will only give it force; It tendeth to an object still, Though somewhat swerving in its course It Though vengeance were the battle-cry, And fell revenge first drew the sword; id We seek a nobler victory ly More firm in act, more true in word. j And all the failures in the past But make the future more secure; The triumph of our cause at last By bygone sufferings ensure. Secure in truth, we wait the day As watchers wait the morning light; Q The false alone need dread delay, For time will only strengthen right. ,d ROBERT NICOL. JT

to The Stimulus of Hope. $^fhe poor, the miserable, the vicious, the de- F*(led, says Archdeacon Fnrrar, can never be ched except by the spirit of sympathy.

Our to fs *ace<^ ^on °f tyranny, and we cower be- the foul wolf of the drink traffic. If evidence the power to move the national conscience we btv! point you to mountain-loads of it in the Blue- your own Parliament, to prove the intoler- i le and interminable curse caused by the present v^Jible multiplicity of temptations to drink.

St. Hilary's Chest.
St. Hilary's Chest. NO. II. BY PHILIP SIDNEY.' On the principle, probably, that one good turn deserves another, the parish testified its gratitude to Mr John Nathaniel Williams, of Castle Hill, for hunting the foxes by consenting that he should erect a pew in the parish church. Here is the entry concerning the transaction, which, be it noted, took place in the very month and year of the fox hunting agreement:— "1815, February 17. At a public vestry legally held between the minister, church wardens, and other inhabitants of Llanilar, that we do unani- mously consent for John Nathaniel Williams, of Castle Hill, Esquire, should erect a new pew within the Church at his own expense to the North Side, Eastward °\ the pulpit. O. Owen, Vicar." Happily the days have passed away when such a permission as this could be granted to one parish- ioner over the others. Well do I remember seeing a pew in a fine old parish church in this diocese, which stood at least a foot above the level of the floor, had massive pillars at the: corners, which with the red curtains, gave the structure the ap- pearance of a good old four poster bed- stead One is inclined to wonder whether the Llanilar pew was a somewhat similar one? Another interesting entry is one which tells pros- terity that The population of Llanilar Ucha in the year 1851 was 147." How will these figures compare with the coming census 2 Going back to the first' White Book,' let me say, what I overlooked in its place, that the church- wardens, in 1742, were Edward Edwards and Evan Richard, and that they write the parish as Llanillar." They were accurate and painstaking officials, wrote legible and neat hands, and evidently took a pleasure in their work. In that year Bread and, Wine for the Com- munion" cost 9s 7d, and a hew bier 9s." The names of the parishioners present at the first recorded vestry are Morgan Parry, Richard Parry, Thomas Parry, Morgan Owen, Thomas David, David Oliver, Evan Edward, David Thomas, Rees Thomas and John Parry." Faithful men according to their light, may they rest in peafce t One entry occurs with remarkable annual rsgalarity" Christmas candles, 4d." This refers to the early morning gathering known as ply gain; about which I hope to write' more fully before many more moons shall wax and wane. Now one entry from the third White Book," referring to the Parry family of Hidiardi, long and honourably connected by good deeds to this church. The planting of a certain number of trees by every man and woman is, I contend, a sacred duty incumbent on us all; here is an example worthy of being more frequently followed:- "Memorandum, that Miss Parry of Llydiardia planted three yew trees in the Church yard of Llanilar at her own expense this 23 day of March 1822, in the presence of Owen Owen, Vr." The fourth White Book covers the period 1850 to 1873, and the fifth is that in present use, which will be of much value in the twenty-second century. The earliest burial entry which a somewhat hasty examination revealed is that of Fortune, wife of Dd. Jenkin, August, 1685." The volume which opens the series of well pre- served registers is one wellworthy the greatest attention and care. I think lean promise my readers that tney will hear more of it by and bye from me. It needs now to be handled with the greatest care, and calls out silently but with urgency, to the parishioners, to pass round the hat, and raise a sum sufficient to have it bound, restored and secured by one of the very few firms in London competent to deal with old records like this. Not one scrap of its loose and decaying pages should be lost; and much time will be needed to make a successful restoration of it, but the volume is worth all the care which can be given it. -t-- We hear of Chura^j Restoration," but how seldom of Register Restoration ? When the parish is ready to spend a five pound note on the restoration of this early book, and of the first two White Books" I will gladly give per- sonal oversight to the matter, and see that it be properly done, so that many generations yet to come may see the records of many generations long sinde passed to rest. The remains of this earliest register comprise two loose pages of paper, closely written, bringing the date down to 1690, and twelve loose sheets of parchment, also closely covered with entries. The parchment covers also are covered with entries, most of which must inevitably perish unless speedy restoration be given to the book. L The Marriage Registers are four in number, covering the periods, 1754-1814, 1813-1837, and 1837-1901 this latter being in duplicate. The two volumes containing entries of Burials, other t.han in the above described earliest book, are for the periods 1813-1869, and 1869-1901- The Baptisms are in two Registers 1813-1844, and 1844-1901-. The whole series of records is one of which any parish may be justly proud, and if only the necessary means could be placed in the Vicar's hands, wherewith to repair them, all antiquaries and historians would rejoice in common with the parishioners. If the Registers be fine, what shall be said of the Communion chalices ? No parish in the Diocese of St. David's has a more unique and intrinsically valuable cup than that which is the chief gem in St. Hilary's Chest. It is a silver cup of simple funnel shape, gilt lined, 44 inches high, and studded all round with golden Swedish coins, of early eighteenth century date, and one coin, so large as our" crown piece in the bottom. The inscription tells its own story The Gift of John Parry, Messenger in Ordinary to their Majestys King George ye 1st and 2nd, To the Parish Church of Llan Hilarey, in the County of Cardigan:1751. This Chaliee was brought over by him from Stockholm in the year '20 where he resided many years in the above capacity." The exquisite spicimen of a foreign goldsmith's art is worth a long walk to see; it is used for the Administrations on the greater Festivals, such as Easter Day and Christmas Day. The original Chalice long used in the parish, and consecrated by the lips of thousands of humble communicants, who have here lived their lives and in turn given place t. others, is a silver one of singularly graceful shape, consisting of bell, stem, knop, and foot, 7 inches tall. It his no inscription, but fortunatelv the as,,ay marks are still clear, and the London d-ate letter is that for the year 1637; so that in, all liklihood this chalice has been uSlild for some 260 years. As if these two vessels were not enough treas- ures in St Hilary's care, there is yet another silver chalice, quite unlike either of them. This is the Richard Jones" chalice, which, according to the inscription round its ball was The Gift of Mr Richard Jones to his Native Parish, Llaniler, Cardiganshire, 1789." Mr Jones described in his- will as gentleman," lived in Howard Street, off the Strand, and was treasurer of the Welsh Charity School, London. He left a legacy also to his native parish, out of which, however, some £28 to £ 30 has to be annually paid to the Vicar of Aberystwyth for ever," with the result that the Llanilar Vicar, who was to receive the balance, has for many years past not been able to benefit by this charity, there being no margin left for m. In all probability this cup, with its two handles and moveable cover inscribed RICHARD JONES" was one of domestic use in the donor's household it being the London assay letter of 1732. Two small patens of modern date complete the treasures. Meyrick, strange to say, makes no mention of these vessels in his I History' It has been a real pleasure to me to have seen these treasures and to have described, even in censory manner, the contents of St. Hilary's Chest,

WAS HERBER A CARDI ?
WAS HERBER A CARDI ? SIR,-In your interesting review of Elvet's biography of Dr Herber Evans you say that the pulpit orator was not merely a Cardiganshire man by birth, but in sentiments he was every inch a Cardi, and loved the county and its people. And he was one of the very greatest Cardis of the day." I do not wish to dispute that Herber loved the county and its people." Who that knows the charm of its scenery, the frankness and brightness of its women, and the energy and genial self-con- fidence of its men has not fallen their victim 7 But that does not mean that all the lovers of Cardiland are Cardis-born. I always understood that Herber was a Shir Gar by birth, and am not willing to let him go. Surely he belongs to the county of Griffith Jones and Thomas Charles, of Peter Williams and Pantycelyn, of Christmas Evans and Dr Saunders. The county of Carmarthen can boast of having given birth to so many great men that it could I easily spare one or two to a poorer county, but the county of Edward Rhisiart and Ieuan Brydydd Hir, of Theophilus Evans and Daniel Rowlands, of Silvan Evans and Principal Rhys, is opulent enough in all conscience. While upon this topic, may I also state that Gwenogfryn Evansjand the chaired bard Eilir-so often claimed as Cardis —were both born on the south side of the Tivy? UN 0 WHLEPS SIR GAER.
LLANDYSSUL.-
LLANDYSSUL. ANNUAL RACES. The sixth annual trotting matches, flat and hurdle races, and steeplechases were held on Thursday last. The weather was all that could be desired for such an event, which, undoubtedly, proved a grand success, In the morning the races were held on the Abercerdin Meadow. The follow- ing is a list of the events and the winners :— Trotting match for horses not exceeding 3 years old, and for ponies not exceeding 13 hands, 1 J. H Jones, Penddarog, Llanddarog; 2 J. Davies, Pen- lannoeth, Llanarth; 3 D. P. Davies, M.R.C.V.S., Lampeter. Trotting match open to all comers, 1 E. Lodwick, Ammanford; 2 Dr Morris, Nantgaredig; 3 M. Rowlands, Cross Inn, Llanon.

Evans, M.R.C.V.S., Llandyssul; 2 J. Jones, Alltgoch, Lampeter. Open flat race for horses that have never won a prize at any meeting before. 1 P. Lewis, Meidrym; 2 D. Williams, Rhydfach; 3 Thos. Harp, Carmarthen. In the afternoon the races were held on the Wilkes Head Meadow, and proved to be very exciting. There was a very large concourse of people present, which showed a great increase from the previous year. Open hurdle race, distance about two miles; seven started, but on the first mile three left off, and Prince AI" took the lead; now and then it was passed by Giraffe," and the race was very exciting, 1 A. B. Jones, Emlyn Arms, Newcastle Emlyn, Prince Al 2 J. A. Evans, Llandyssul, "Giraffe"; 3 P. Lewis, Meidrym, Meidrym." Steeplechase open to farmers and tradesmen residing within a. radius of 20 miles, distance 2 miles over banks. This race proved to be the most uninteresting during the day. Only three competed, and each one seemed to take time, 1 and 2 J. Jenkins, Blaenplwyt, Talsarn, Nance o'r Glyn," and" Whip o Will 3 Thomas Jones, Lleinau, Bangor. Llandyssul. Open flat race for ponies not exceeding 13 2 hands, and horses not exceeding 3 years old.

Hughes, Highmead Arms, Llanybyther; 3 Thomas Griffiths, Royal George, Lampeter. Open flat race, distance about two and a half miles. Five com- peted, and during the first mile there was a close contest, Pride of the sea" again obtained the lead, and came in an easy first, being nearly a hundred yards in front of the second. There was a close contest between Giraffe and Prince Al," and during the last lap the best bit of race was seen throughout the whole event: 1 J. Epworth, Pendine, Pride of the Sea"; 2 J. A. Evans, Llandyssil, Giraffe 3 A. B. Jones, New- castle-Emlyn, "Prince Al.Open steeplechase, over the bailkitigvotitse, distance about two and a half miles. Five started, but after, the first round only four competed. "Nance o'r Glyn took the lead, but Meidrym in the second round leaded. "Meidrym" seemed to take to the hedges in a better style than any of the others, During the last round the rider of Mr David Williams's, Rhyd- fach, was thrown off, whilst jumping a hedge, and had not this occurred it would undoubtedly gain a prize. Meidrym," however, came in first, being about five yards in front, of Nance o'r Glyn." 1 P. Lewis, Meidrym, Meidrym"; 2 and 3 J.
