CARMEL, LLANDEBIE. I (By AP LLWYDEN.) A long-felt want in the above village :s about to become an accomplished fact. In this district there are many Churchpeople, and the nearest church was Golden Grove. But this was very far, especially in the dark, dreary winter nights. A mission room was considered to be a necessity. But how this necessity could be met was a dimcult thing. Where was the means to build this room to come from? But the Cawdor family, with their usual generosity, came forward, and, after the wants had been placed before them, they at once promised to build a mission room. Mr T. Rees, P.O., Carmel. has been in communication with Major The Hon. Ryfe Cambell, of Cameron Barracks, Inver- ness, the second son of the late Earl Cawdor, and a plot of half an acre of land has been given. The site is most convenient and is near Bryntelych. But the Major did not stop at this, for he has given instructions that he will build the mission room as well. The land has been pegged out, the plans drawn, and the foundation contract has been given to Mr. Michael, of LIandebie. The contract of the building itself is given to Ginger Lee, cf Manchester. The building will be 2oft. by 50ft., with an ante room. It is also to be lighted by acetelyne light. We know how thorough the Cawdor people do a thing, and this is another instance of their kindness, generosity, and thoroughness. I am sure the people of the district will ever feel indebted to Major Ryfe Campbell for ti.e interest which he takes m the place, and for his timely aid in erecting this mission room. But we must add a word about those two redoubtable Churchmen, viz., Messrs. T. Rees and David Watkins. They have worked hard to accomplish the present good results, and they intend to work with might and ma in to crown the generous gift of Major Campbell with success. We hope, and we know, that all in the district wi!I rally round because it will be such a boon f( r the district to have services there during the winter, and also provide them with a hall to hold eisteddfodau, concerts, etc. The work is to be proceeded with with all speed.

Talk in the Train. (By MARI GRUFFYDD.) Water Boiling Over at Tycroes. I don t know whether it is merely a case of "the pot calling the kettle black," but the "excitement and indignation" at Tycroes over the water question are making the feel- ings and the gossip and the "talk" bubble up and froth "like a boiling cauldron" (as one of my neighbours used to say). Boiling and bubbling are often found before steam 's up, and there can be no question about it, steam is fairly up at Tycroet-. Who is right and who is wrong will be known by and by, but until now they have not had a chance of ventilating their grievances through a news- paper, and of getting their meetings reported. Tocyn i Dy Mamgu." That was what a too Welshy Welshman asked for at a local railway station the other day, and he was surprised that the booking clerk, although he understood Welsh, did not know where to issue a ticket for. This is worse than sending a Welsh telegram to the Prince of Whales, as I did once. I bad a reply in that case, but the answer was written in English. Apologise, but keep it. I This is how a CwmlIynfeII man, this week, explained why he always acted upon the children'8 cry, "nrst find, nrst keep." "I always believe in carefully looking after the Interests of No. 1. I put It this way :—Self- help is the first law of possession; take what you want, then apologise for having it, but keep it all the same." After this hint, I have no doubt the police will keep a ?harp eye on that man. People with queer notions should not be too loud in their "talk in the train." Another Assertive Talker. I It is wonderful how acme people do "lay the law down." In the train from Garnant to Ammanford, on Monday afternoon, c;)e man held our attention by starting a lecture on hero-worship. He took for bis text The people we all admire most are the people who rea!!y are what we oursleves pre- tend to be." Quite so. That would have been quite enough. A Third Propounds a Riddle. I All the funny men of the VaUey seem t" have been travelling by tra in this week. Between Pontarduiais and Pantyffynnon, on Saturday night, one chap gravely askct everybody in the carriage to listen, and tc answer thij question if they could :—"When do a rifle and a feather resemble each other?" Nobody knew Then he turned a withering glance around, and said "When they are both on the cock"—a joke which was spoiled, because it needed some explana- tion. Pwy ddwgodd fy nafad fach I." I An amusing story was told the other d:<y of a Carmarthenshire farmer, whose relatives are stiU living. He had lost a sheep, and suspected a neighbouring farmer of stealing it. That farmer was a member in the tia;i!e chapel, and because the minister and deacons declined to expel the suspected man from membership, the owner of the lost sheep kept away from the services. However, lie at- tended the harvest thanksgiving meetings, and, on being pressed, took part in public prayer. Getting the "hwyl," he thanked God for His bounties, and for His power and His Omniscience (Duw HoHwybodoi). Then he went on, Thou knowest every- thing. Lord. We know something, but Thou knowest all things. I have a L'ood guess in my heart as to who stole my htt)c sheep a long time ago; but Thou knowe.t for a fact who did it. Yr y'm ni'n 'specto, ond yr wyf Ti yn gwybod" ("We suspect, but Thou knowest") was the emphatic conclud- ing phrase. The Ladies must have a Sash. I "Out of the fashion, out of the world." is an old saying, and I heard two ladies in the train this week, say "You must have a sash in your wardrobe. It may or may not be fastened to a gown, but it must be there. You must know some of the various wave! of arranging it attractively." "Would you have it a la toreador'?'' asked the other. "Yes," I said, "Then see that it is of bright or striped si]k and wind it round the waist, tying it over one hip in a knot, with short ends hanging at one side. And growing eloquent she said, "The 'Nautch' tash is quite broad and encircles the waist, tying in the front, and the 'Prelate' sisli is straight and f!at with one end passing in and over the other like a stock, while the Japanese sash hasabuttcrnybowliighupintheback." A Fire Aiarm Wanted at Ammanford. Sunday night's are at Capcl Newydd has given rise to a good deal of talk about the need of a fire alarm. It is no use blaming the volunteer brigade for being unab]e to render immediate assistance if nothing is done to let them know of a fire. The Urban District Council passed a resolution over a year ago to provide a "syren,"but nothing has since been heard of the "syren," and she certainly was not heard last Sunday night. WouJd not a te)ephone wire to ring a bell at every foreman's house be more effective? It would give the a!arm to the right people. The syren would bring a crowd, of course, but that is not what is wanted. "Is it possible that we must have a big fire, with loss of life, before anything is done?" asks the man in the street.

John Morris (45) after alighting from a Mumbles train at Swansea was run over and killed by a taxicab. The Executive of Cardiff Liberal Associa- tion decided last night to recommend Mr. D. A Thomas for the presidency The recom- mendation will be submitted to a general meeting of members.

English Congregational ism at Ammanford. OPENING OF NEW EDIFICE. Another stage in the progress of the Eng- lish Congregational Cause at Ammanford was reached on Thursday, when, amid much rejoicing, the beautiful edifice, which is in the nature of a school-chapel, built to &?com- inodate that youthful and enthusiastic, but withal vigorous church, was opened for public worship. The structure is cettrally situated in Iscennen-road, opposite the Y.M.C.A. Institute, and is built in a manner which speaks well of the architect, Mr. Hy. Herbert, and the contractoi, Mr. William Evans. It will provide seating accommodation for about 250 persons. The front is of red and white Rhuabon briet with ornamentations. The opening ceremony was graceful! per- formed by Mrs. W. N. Jones, Dyffryn, who was presented with a key by the builder, in the presence of a representative gathering of Christian workers of all denominations. Those who attended included the Revs. D. E. Harries (pastor), D. J. Thomas (Carmar- then), W. Davies (The Walk), W. Neutlais Williams, E. J. Rosscr-Evans J. Gnmths, B.A., B.D., R. G. James (Ystalyfen), D. GIannant Davies (London), Mr. Geo. Wil- !iams (Gwynfryn), Mr. Sidney Davies, Mrs. Hy. Herbert, Miss Dilys Herbert, Mist Hop- kins, Mrs. Inman, Mr. and Mrs. J. Phillips (Parcyrbun), Mr. John Lloyd, Mr. D. Gabe, Mrs. 0. R. Evans, Mr. W. Thomas (Llan- dilo), Mr. B. John Davies, Mr. Evan Evans, Mr. Gwilym Rees (BIaenau), Mr. T. J. Rees, Mr. Harold Jones, Mrs. Williams (Gwynfryn), etc. The Rev. D. E. Harries conducted the ser- vice afterwards held inside the edif.ce, and read letters regretting inability tc attend from prominent ministers and laymen in West Wales. He expressed pleasure at see- ing so many friends from far and aear as- sembled with them to rejoice at the culmina- tion of their endeavours-friends vho had watched their comings and their goitgs, and who had materially helped the Church in its fir-jt days. They had spent close upon four years in tents, and were now naturally re- joicing in the fact that at last they had a settled and well-founded tabernacle. It was indeed to them a great diSerence. Proceed- ing to give some financial details. Mr. Harries stated the contract price was some- thing like .6684 10s., and it was anticipated that between ;&700 and £750 would cover all the expenses incurred in erecting the build- ing. Hopes were held that by the end of the opening services on Monday k20) would have been realised. The sister churches of Christian Temple and Gwynfryn hd each very kindly promised to become responsible for the interest of £100, and, thanks to the assistance of the Rev. D. J. Thomas, Car- marthen. the Rev. J. E. Powell, London, and the Rev. Eynon Davies, a free interest loan of .C200 had been secured from tb(, chapel building society of the Union, repayable within ten years in £20 annual Instalments. The society had also given them a grant of .625. They were excedingly thankful for outside sympathy and support, but he could assure them that the members of the church had a heart to work and a will to work. No church was blessed with a better set of workers. Their hopes were high in facing the future. They meant, to do far better than in the past. They had been handi- capped In not having a sanctuary of their own, but now, untrammelled as they would be, they would exert themselves to the very utmost, so that the building be converted into a sanctuary In the highest sense-a place dedicated to the service of God, and for the salvation of souls. Proposing a hearty vote of thanks to Mrs. W. N. Jones, on behalf of the Church, Mr. R. W. Davies, said they were extremly grateful to her for the part she had taken in the ceremony of that day, which he could assure them, was a great event in their his- tory.—Mr. Samuel Watter, senior deacon, seconded. Responding, Mrs. W. N. Jones said that what she had done was only a trIHe, but nevertheless she considered it a great honour. The Rev. D. E. Harries intimated that Mrs. Jones had placed in his hand a £5 note. The Rev. E. J. Rosser-Evans said hn heart rejoiced to he present with them as a church at the opening of the chapel. as he remembered the nrst beginning of the church, which was simple, but very energetic. He felt great interest in the church from the start and had the honour, as Mrs W. N. Jones said, of doing just a trifle in helping the work onwards, and was pleased to find that the Inception was not in vain, but that it had proved that there was a real need for an English Congregational Church at Ammanford. Let them not think for a moment, he went on, that it was the sin of the world which hindered the progress of the Church, but the lack of sincerity, the lack of faith, the lack of love, the lack of energy in the Church of God. He hoped that the English Congregational Church would nourish, and that the men congregated in that building would discover in themselves the greatest of all possessions—the posses- sion of the Spirit. Councillor Evan Evans and Mr. John Davies, both members of the building com- mittee, also spoke. The Rev. J. GruBths, B.A., B.D., was pleased to observe that the young church had considerable faith in the future. The pre- sent building, as the pastor had said, was the tabernacle, but space had been reserved in front for a temple again. He felt he could congratulate them, and admire their faith in the future He always thought there was a great amnity between the Congrega- tionalists and the Baptists. Their relation in the 17th century, for instance, constituted a very interesting study, the only point of difference being that the Baptists had to re- mind the Congregationalists of the One thing thou lackest." (Laughter.) The Rev. Silvester Home had stated that "The honour of nrst presenting and nrst asserting to the full the principle of religious liberty is to be given, not to the Anglican Church, not to the Scotch Presbyterians, not to the Puritans as such, but to Independents in general and to Baptists in particular." Re- ference had already been made to the in- difference of nominal Christians They wanted people that were taking up the work of the Christian Churches with all their hearts. These were trying times and Christian people had a great deal to do, even in Animanford, to prosecute that work with a greater zeal than ever. The Rev. D. J. Thomas (Carmarthen) said it was a very great source of pleasure for him to be present of that auspicious event in their brief history. Being secretary of the Union, he was associated with the Church since its commencement, and was present at a meet- ing in Christian Temple when the advisa- bility of forming an English Church was dis- cussed. He referred to the various stages in their growth, and very sincerely hoped they would prosper, and do great and good work. The Rev. D. GIannant Davies (London) said they had done splendidly in the past, and lie felt quite sure they were going to do equally well in the immediate future, which was full of abundant promise. It was not the business of a church as a church, he pro- ceeded, to solve social problems, but to send forth men imbued with the spirit of Christ, and as far as his experience went it was those people who did the most to solve those problems. After the service tea was provided in the Y.M.C.A. Institute, through the kindness of Mrs. Hy. Herbert, and in the evening the Rev. D GIannant Davies delivered an im- pressive sermon to a large congregation. The services were continued on Sunday and Monday, when the Revs. Grifnth J. Evans (Manselton), E. J. Rosser-Evans, and Joseph James (LIandysilio), omciated.

Mass Meeting of Amman- ford Miners. MR. J. JAMES ON THE TRADES UNION ACT BALLOT. A mass meeting of Ammanford miners was held aA the I vorited' Hall, Ammanford, on Monday night on the eve of the ba!lot taken relative to the Trade Unions Act, 1913, with the object of hearing an elucidation of its provisions. The chair was taken by Mr. Tom Evans, check- weigher, who explained that, despite expecta- tions, Mr. C. B. Stanton had failed to at- tend. Mr. J James. Cwmgorse, was, however, there—a gentleman so well known that no introduction was necessary from the chair. In the course of a lucid speech dealing cogently with the circumstances which led up to, and the provisions of, the Trade Unions Bill, 1913, Mr. James said the Act was a partial redemption of the position lost by the Trade Unions through the decision of the Law Lords In 1909, in the Osborne case. It was then nnnUy decided that political action was not originally intended and included within the provinces of Trade Unions. Prior, the Unions had participated In politi- cal action they practised and put into opera- tion what they considered was the law of the land. The decision referred to reversed the position, and oince a campaign of agitation and education had been conducted, with the result that in March of this year the Trade Unions Act acme into operation and had the effect, as he had already stated, of partially regaining the lost ground. It was one of those permissive Acts, stating, "You may" do this or that, not "you must," "you shall," and "you will." In that connection he could not help observing that personally he was of opinion that the majority of the gentlemen who voted for the Bill, as it then was, would be very grateful and pleased if the Trade Unions would not interfere in political action. However, the Act provided that a Trade Union, consequent upon a majority of the members being obtained in a private ballot, could participate in political action and return members to Parliament, and any other body; and could levey a rate upon its members for the purpose. But first of all a majority had to be obtained. Hence the ballot. Afterwards, in the event of a majority being obtained, any member may claim exemption from contributing on con- scientious or thrifty grounds. Thus, the minority man was defended in the Act. That individual man who objected could not succeed, however, in preventing the Union as a whole participating, and although he may claim exemption from contributing towards the cost of such action, he would at the same time reap ail the benefits which would accrue. Mr. James characterised the pre- sent ba!Jot as the most important ever taken In the history of Trade Unionism in thij country. Upon its result there bung momentous issues. The clock would be set back sixty years, in the event of the majority deciding to refrain from political action, but an overwhelming decision for participation would remove many obstacles and clear the path to progress. (Applause.) A vote of thanks to the speaker concluded the meeting.

Tycroes Water Suppty. I rlEPLY TO AN ALLEGED PRE- duDiCED CORRESPuiiDENT. (To the Editor of the Chronicle.) bir,—i\)nuiy aliuwmc ailttiespace in your valuaoie paper to correct tne prejudiced tuiu misieaumg report of the water meeting neld at'i'ycroes last week. J. rutu is stronger than uction. i'nat the true account of the meeting was fUpresbedhy prejudice is evident hy the strong feeling tiiat exists in tlie village re- garding tnc report of the CHROXICLE, and I Hasten to correct the same to show the people of 'iycroes that the CHRONICLE'S authorities are not responsible for same, but a few quack doctors who are trying their best to keep Mr Reynolds from coming to the front. They know full well that he and a few of his friends are out to overthrow the yoke of those who have held the control of, not only the district, but of the whole country. Pharisees —those who have been gulling the people and drawing red herrings across their tracks of progress Therefore, they once again try to turn the people's opinions against him by false statements, but, try as they will, they can take my tip that they will not succeed by adopting false statements. Now, the true nature of what happened was this :—After the Chairman had made a few remarks upon the necessity of gettng water to the place, Mr. D. Arthur spoke a few word 3 as to the a bsence of the District Councillor, Mr. Llewellyn, whereupon Mr. Reynolds got up and proposed, "That as the question under discussion was a, question for the District Council, and that our Councillor not being present, that a deputation be sent down to him to ask him to come to the meeting, or to send an explanation, failing both, that the meeting ask him to resign his seat on the Council." Seconded by Mr. John Price, and supported by Mr Daniel Davies.—Carried unanimously. After Mr. Uewellyn arrived he spoke for a few minutes on the question, and said that everybody he had spoken to was :-at)shed with getting a tap on the Square, which was done, but he gave no reason why it was that the places most in need of water were not supplied. Mr. Reynolds again spoke on the question, and pointed out that it was purely waste of money for the Council to place a tap on the Square clone to the well, when the well was full; in fact he said that the tap was only there for the children to play with. He then dealt with the whole history of the water question that three years ago resolutions were passed at various meetings urging the Council to supply the place with water, but nothing was frone. Why was it so? he asked. There is no reason. It has ben shown here to-night, that the big scheme will not be ready for years, and yet the Council have ignored all the re- solutions of the past. Why did not Mr. Llewellyn, as our only representative on the Council, move in the matter'? No reason at alt was given. He concluded his most pointed remarks by saying that in the ab- sence of reasons for what was done the only thing for the ratepayers to do was to believe what was obvious to everybody with eyes to see; that is, that personal interest had a great deal to do in the matter. Mr. Llewellyn could see, he said, that if he would get the water to other parts of the village he would have to get it to Panty- ffynnon-road, which road he (Mr. Llewellyn) supplied with water, in exchange for which the people have to assist Mr Llewellyn on various work at harvest times, and by the cheers lie received it was plain that he was expressing the feeling of the meeting in general. Mr. Llewellyn then said that he could get any assistance from his neighbours if he had no water to give them. Now, Mr. Editor, I do not wish to endorse any statement made by Mr. Reynolds, or refute either, but let us examine the report in your columns and see the difference. In your report Mr. Reynolds did nothing but make insinuating or insulting remarks; no mention was made of the brilliant case he made against the District Council, and your correspondent must have blundered badly in giving Mr. Llewellyn all the cheers and none for Mr. Reynolds. Again, in your report, Mr. Reynolds retorted Mr. Llewellyn after Mr Llewellyn had spoken. He did no- thing of the kind. he was conndent In his remarks to leave it f:t that. Surely the Scribes and Pharisees who try to deter pro- gress in tilia district and elsewhere must find it dimcult to keep the old stock going that they have to resort to false reports. They can rest assured that it is too far in the day. The spirit of progcss is awake, and thev must turn aside and make room for it. Youra for truth, WATER CARRIER.
