WOMEN'S CHAT. The King and Queen, on the occasion of their at- tendance at St. Paul's Cathedral, must have been re- minded of several similar services of thankgivirifr. There were, of course, the Jubilee services of 1887 and 1897, but there was another in which the pre- sent King was even there immediately interested. Towards the end of 1871, the then Prinee lof Wales was seriously ill with fever, and many people will re- member the almost superstitious fear which many people entertained that he would die on December 14th, which was the anniversary of the death of the Prince Ccnsort, and proved in 1878 to be the date of the deai-h of the Prificess Alice. When the Prince recovered his Royal Mother and he attended a thanks- giving service, and the day was observed as a public holiday. Visitors to London for the Coronation will scarcely carry away with them very exdted opinions of the Metropolis, At the moment, the most stately of our buildings, the most beautiful of our historic edifices, and many of our noted thoroughfares are unrecog- nisab!e, and the annoyance and trouble of getting about the streets has beeu, is, and will be for some time yet, considerable. What with the raw deal boards and ladders, the smell of pain*, and the hoist- ing of decorations that show a distinct inclination to lower themselves all too suddenly, getting about the Metropolis is not as delightful a proceeding as one could desire, and the great majority of Londoners will rejoice when their beloved city has once again assumed i'.s normal aspect. Two or three additions are being made this season to the fashionable Ladies' Clubs in London. There are about til teen or eighteen of those Clubs in Lon- don, the oldest being the Alexandra, which was founded in 1881. The entrance and subscription fees are, as a rule, less than those of the leading men's clubs, but the internal appr-irnnicnts are, in many of them, most luxurious. The majority of the women's clubs are in Bona Street and Dover Street, possibly because most of the leading dressmakers are to be found in these streets, and already the newly started Ladies' Service Ciub has been nick-named, the Frocks and Frills Club, it being supposed that the members would naturally take more interest in shopping than in naval or military affairs. Another new establish- ment with great Imperial aspirations is the Ladies Empire Club, which may, at any rate, help to remove the charge of lack of hospitality which is sometimes brought against this country by Colonial visitors. Lady Henry Somerset has been entertaining a number of Temperance workers at Woodford, where the Women's Temperance Association has been hold- ing what are called the Summer Schools." The object, of the..e gatherings is, of course, to spread abroad the views of temperauce wfJrken:, aud generally promote the Tcmperai.ce movement.. The other great Women's Tempwranoe organisation, the Women's Total Abstinence Union, has bpen holding its "Summer Schools" this mouth at Folkestone. L'idy Henry Somerset is an indefatigable worker in i,he cause, aud has not only tried to abandon l'oemes on estates in which she has a, life interest, but she also discourages the cultivation of cider orchards on her Herefordshire property.

Last Friday, the funeral of the late Mrs Bate- man, Morville, took place at Ambleston. At the house Revs James Lamb and J. D, Symmonds officiated, and at the chapel the service was intro- duced by the Rev J. Morgan, and the Revs. Ffynant Morgan, Puncheston J. Lamb, J. D. Symmonds, and W. Lloyd, Ford, delivered ad- dresses, Rev J. Lamb concluding with prayer. Rev Ffynant Morgan officiated at the grave. The funeral was largely attended in spite of the bad weather. The deceased's husband is a deacon with the Calvinistic Methodists at Puncheston. Mrs Bateman's father, Mr William Evans, Ford, was an accomplished and gifted man, a musical composer, and a very religious man. There are two sons and daughter to mourn her loss, and the latter, who was always with her mother, feels the loss keenly. A pile of letters from persons un- able to attend the funeral cheered the mourners very much. Anniversary meetings will be held at the Mor-, villa Mission Church on Tuesday, the 24th, when the Revs W. L. Rees, vicar of Llangunnock, Carm., and Rice Jones, Manorowen, will be the preachers. Collections will be made towards the building fund. I The committee of the Coronation festivities at Morville met last Monday, A public tea, fire- works, sports for children, with prizes were de- cided upon. Of the money collected, three guineas have been given by the Ardens, and the committee decided that one guinea be given to the Llanychllwydog U.D., one guinea to the Pun. cheston committee, and the other guinea to be re- tained by the Morville committee. On Friday evening, the Coronation Committee of Fishguard met to make final arrangements. There were present: Capt Titus Evans, L. Evans D. Rees, LI. Williams, II. Williams, J. R. Richards, O. Gledhill and Lewis. Mr Richard Lewis was voted to the chair. The minutes ot the last meeting were read and approved of. Capt Evans announced whac money had been collected and Mr J. R. Richards stated that about £ 25 had been collected. It was expected that all the ac- counts would be in by Monday. It was dejded, however, to go on making arrangements at that meeting. It was agreed that the fountain ques- tion should stand over, and that the bonfire and tireworks only be discussed. Mr Gledhill unde a few remarks in explanation of the terms offered by the Boniire Association, and the whole sub- ject was freely discussed. For the boniire, the secretary stated that two casks of tar had been already ordered. Mr L. Evans stated that the whole cost of the Mafficking bonfire was about 30s, and Mr Gledhill remarked that £ 2 ought to cover the cost of the bonfire. It was stated that Mr J. C. Yorke had kindly offered some wood materials for the bonfire. Mr Bennett had also offered a guinea and the use of a cart, providing the bonfire be et, up on Bigney. It was finally agreed to cm power the secretary (Mr Ll. Williams to j»pend £ 7 for fireworks, and that out of the balance in hand the cost of the bor)tire be pro- vided. To .*npeiintend the building up of the Ooi lire, the following gentlemen were appointed as a committee :—Capt Evans, J. R. Richards, it. Lewis, and the secretary. The secretary would be able to see to the fireworks, but it was afterwards agreed that the committee be requested to assist at both bonfire and fireworks. The time tor lighting the bonfire and letting off the first rocket was stated to be 10 p.m. It was agreed that t,he bonfire be set up on Bigney, and the lit-ewoi-ks on Penslade The question of a general procession cropped up, and it was agreed, in view • >f the previous discussions on the subject, that it wa* inadvisable to ask the Sunday Schools to join in the procession. It was decided that the el» etion ot material for fireworks, as specified in the catalogue in hand, be left to the coinmittet and after the meeting was declared closed the last-mentioned-duty was there and then taken up by the committee appointed. The ladies working committee met at the Nurse's Home on Monday. There were present Mrs Yorke, Mrs Owen, Mrs Williams, Mrs Vaughan, Mrs Evans and Miss Phillips. The committee arranged for the cleaning and putting in order the Home for the nurse, who is expected on Mon- day next. it A Coronation service will be held at the parish church, Fishguard, at 11 a.m., ou Thurs iay next. The order of the service will consist ot a shortened Litany and Communion Service, the music to be sung having been specially composed I for and published by the King's printers, con- taining part of the music to be sung at the West- minster Abbey service. The vicu will deliver a short address on the Coronation. ♦ The vicar, through this medium, desires to acknowledge the recept of a cheque for £ 15 Is from J. Worthington, Esq., £ 10 of which will be distributed to the poor of the parish. The donor thought that this would be a better way to mark the Coronation, as a memorable event, than by a mere spectacular display. Mr Worthington will also give 300 Coronation mugs to the children at- tending the Church schools, The Baptist Church at Letterston has been highly honoured in the appointment of its re- spected pastor,!the Rev B. Thomas, to deliver the annual sermon in connection with the Baptist College, Bangor, next year. It speaks highly of Mr Thomas' preaching gifts that he has already delivered the annual sermon in connection with both the Haverfordwest and Cardiff colleges. The relations between pastor and church at Letter- ston are most happy. On Wednesday, 11th inst, a Choral Festival of the Deanery of Fishguard, was held at the parish church, Fishguard. Choir contingents were present from Fishguard, Letterston, Manor- owen, Morfil, Pontvaen, Jordanston, Little Newcastle, Good wick and other places. The rehearsal in the afternoon was conducted by the l\ev Wr. Evans. The singing, in both services, was conducted by the Rev D. Jenkyn Evans, vicar of Pontfaen. In the afternoon, the Litany was intoned by the Rev Arthur Evans. Llan- howell, and the sermon was preached by Rev E. T. Jones, vicar of Whitchurch. The whole ser- vice was in Welsh. The preacher took as a text, Psalrns Ivii, 7-9. He remarked that the elements of a successful choral festival were fully set forth in the text. Such an effort called forth all the powers of the tri-partite nature of man- body, soul, and spirit—in an act of praise and worship. "One of the privileges of man as the high priest of nature is to offer nature's worship to God in the sanctuary." Nature cannot ren- der its praise in the sanctuary, except through the lord of creation," This is why flowers are placed on the altar "to adorn God's home on earth." The organ, again, is the mouthpiece of nature's voices in the sanctuary. In the Holy Communion, the worship of nature and man is complete. It is the human heart only that has been tuned to sing the God of Love, The music should be truly devotional—the heart, as well as the lips, should sing. The clergy present in the procession were the Revs J. Evans, Jordanston, J. Rees, Letterston T. Johns, Manorowen Rice Jones, A. Richardson, St Dogwells; 1. Jones, St, Nicholas D. Jenkyn Evans, and W. Evans, vicar of Fishguard. In the evening, the vicar took the service, Rev T, Johns and Kev D. Griffiths, vicar of Mathry, reading the lessons. The preacher was the vicar of Trcffgarn, who preached from 1),al;ii xlvii, 6-7. A duty was impressed upon all people singing meiodios. The preacher made a happy aihwou to the termination of the Boer war as an event which naturally induced people to render praise to Liod. He noted how, a very short time back, .the organ was deemeo the devil's instrument. But the anterior history of the organ as well as sacred singing go back very far. The preacher then traced the history of praise, so to speak, throughout the Old and New Testament history, the angels' song, the songs of Miriam and Deborah, the Psalms-" gem* of poetry, such as the world cannot produce," our Lord and his disciples singing a hymn, the hymns treasured in the Prayer Book, The preacher noted the interesting fact that the hymn Glory be to God," which forms part of the Communion Service has been recovered from Pompeii, showing that it was sung at that place at the time when no Christian dared to show him- self outside. In this connection the preacher drew attention to the permanence of these songs and the power ot music. He noted also that to prepare and take part in a choral festival was aii act of self-denial. Between the services, the choristers were entertained to tea, ILL the National schools. The committee, responsible for the pro- gramme were the lleva A. Richardson, J. Rees, L Jones, D. Jenkyn Evans, and W. Evans, sec- retary, The last two clergymen worked hard to train the choirs. Much of the uccess of the musical part of the festival was due to the admir- able and excellent accompanying on the organ by Mr F. G. Palmer.
