3-n Zfcemorfam. MRS. SARAH ROBERTS, It is with sincere regret that we record the death, at the age of 71, of Mrs. Sarah Roberts, which sad event took place at Cambrian-place, Llangollen, on the 10th inst. The deceased, who was a daughter of the late Mr. John Roberts, of Ruthin, was a faithful member of the Welsh Wes- leyan Church, and was widely beloved and honoured for her many Christian virtues. She was ever ready to lend a helping hand to those in want, being of a most charitable disposition, and she was exceedingly well-informed and intelligent. Her removal by death leaves vacant a position that will be very difficult to fill, an exceedingly large circle of friends being rendered infinitely the poorer by her loss.

LLANGOLLEN WORKING MEN'S ASSOCIATION. SOCIALISM APPROVED. A meeting of the Association was held on Friday evening in the Waverley Pavilion, when Mr. Levi Roberts presided over a good attendance. The chief speaker was Mr. Smith Edwards, who delivered an address on Socialism." which was listenen to with great attention. The chairman said that it was impossible to frustrate the advance of Socialism, and if the churches of Wales are nob prepared to give the people pure Christian Socialism it would undoubtedly result in the demand for secular Socialism (hear, hear). Mr. Rowland Edwards in the course of an impressive address said that even when a man was working full time he could hardly exist in the town on account of the high prices charged for everything, and that at Cefn almost everything could be purchased cheaper than at Llangollen, and it was a, well-known fact that Cefn tradesmen could come to the town and sell goods at cheaper rates than they could buy them from the Llangollen Tradesmen (bear, hear). The chairman next gave a recitation, Oriau olaf yr Iesu," with marked success, which also charact- erised Mr. J. W. Kyffio's address on Welsh Patriotism." Mr. Tom Owen followed with an effective address on the Progress of Socialism." Mr. H. R. Williams spoke on the Budget, and characterised the talk about a compromise as a, fable. He was surprised that some of the news- papers should publish such misleading rubbish. The Lords had no constitutional right to interfere with the finance of the country, and he was certain that the King had warned them against doing so. (Cheers). He also referrpd to the execution of Senor Ferrer by the Spanish Government. Senor Ferrer was a man who had done more for that Education of the people of Spain than any man ia this or any other age. He bad sacrificed everything to teach the people the truth, liberty, justice and humanity, and he (the speaker) rejoiced that the act of tne murderers had raised a storm of indig- nation throughout the oevilised world. He submitted a resolution condeming the execution. Mr. Edwin Hughes having seconded the resolution.. it was warmly supported by the chairman and carried unanimously. Mr. J. W. Kyffin next gave a pleasing rendition of "Bedd fy mam, and Mr. Hugh Evans having offered a few remarks upon the existing overcharges, it was decided that the next meeting should be devoted to debate upon. the question.
