I THE SOCIAL GDNS&iEs'iCL DANGERS TO WHIiiH THE CHURCH j 15 UuJEGT. COMMUNITY'S flSOHAL TO HE. I The Rev. Principal A. W. Parry, M.A., Jb.oc., 01 the bouth Wales 'iraixi- iiig college, CarmarLlxen, delivered an inceresuag address on "lhe Church aod the Social ir'rubieLu" at a meeting 01 the Church ot i^ngiand Men's Society at the Assembly Rooms, Uarmarilien, on Y\ ed- nesday night. Principal Parry, who is secretary of the receany-iormed social service com- mittee in connection with the St. David's Diocesan Conference, stated that the pi-iiiiary to be settled was as to the nature of the relation- ships of the Church to social problems. The conception of the duty of the Church whien found most favour to-day was that of regarding the Church as the social conscience of the community, it was her duty to rouse the eomuiiitv to a sense of its short-comings when any wrong was being committed, and to stimulate it in such a manenr as to! cause the commjinity no longer to I tolerate the existence of evil in its I midst, but to require that justice and righteousness should prevail. Danger in Fanaticism. I The danger of narrowness and fana- ticism resulting in the neglect to regard the social problems from their true per- spective oiten caused the preceptv of tue Church to be ignored by many men of reason, with a resulting diminution in its influence. Jn other cases the Church might be too pliable. Receiving i its support from a certaia section 01 society, it might be sufficiently false to its trust to refrain from doing anything which would incur the hostility of its suppor ters. in. addition, there was a gravo danger of merely seeking after popularity. Cer- j tain cries rapidly found favour with an | unthinking democracy, as was exenw] I- lied by the fact that many men were un- able to distinguish between the extent to which low moral conditions were the outcome of unsatisfactory social condi- tions, and the degree to which a low moral standard resulted in unsatisfac- tory social conditions. If the Church was to grapple effec- tively with the social problem hastei must be deprecated. The first effort should be that of the collection of un- disputed facts relative to the particular problem under investigation. Follow- ing that there should be a careful con- sideration of those facts in their rela- tionship to the social system a.s a whole. That was the method which the recently formed social service committee of the St. David's Diocesan Conference pro- posed to adopt. Threa Social Problems. Among the many social problems of modern life there were three whi-h called for special consideration at the present time. First came the cjuott-ion as to whether every man had got a de- cent home so far as external conditions were concerned. A member of the pre- sent Government publicly expressed his opinion that the housing problem in South Wales constituted a national scandal. l A problem which demanded a imme- diate consideration was, why the in- fantile mortality rate was higher in Carmarthenshire than in any ether county in Great Britain. Their imme- j diate task as a Church should be t roe careful investigation or facts at first hand. Another question to be considered wa.s as to w hether dissatisfaction .xisred among the industrial classes of :he community at the present time, mi, if so, the contributory causes should be ascertained. A universal minimum wage appeared to be the panacea advo- cated by some responsible Labour leaders. Plausible and rhetorical argu- ments could be advanced for such a remedy, but they lacked economic JU- sight. The Church should guard itself against any attempt to secure a cheap and transitory popularity by advocating thoughtlessly any such device. The third problem related to the moral tone of the community. Public opinion was so strongly' against drunkenness that it had disappeared to a great extent in certain sections of society. Similarly, the moral tone of the community should be so raised hit it might operate as a restraining fcice against an evil of still greater magni- tude than intemperance. kjoiid ap- plause.)

EXPEm?TAL J" [,n d'#!I1'tJ A L. NEATH fiBSTAIKeSS OBJECT TO DISIHTEHESTEO M&KAUEMEHT. ul3 n nt "I\M ¡;;17' r. The disinterested management scheme came in lor much adverse criticism at a well-attended conference at Neath yesterday, held under the auspices of the local Temperance Society. The Rector of Neath, who presided, said that disinterested management sounded as paradoxical as the plea which a drunkard made to the Marylebone magistrate last woek, that he was a port wine teetotaler. (Laughter.) He was fined, continued the rector, but perhaps he had oniy been experimenting and perhaps the same fate would over- take them if they commenced experi- menting with disinterested teetotalism. (Laughter and hear, hear.) Mr. Tom Honeyman, Glasgow, seerr- tary of Good Templars, declared that the muiiicipaiisation of the drink traffic, which was admittedly a public nuisance, would be treason in the interests of the Commonwealth, unless it was to empty the beer down the sewers. The scheme wa.s being pressed forward with a per- sistency worthy of a better cause, and it was put forward in the interests of Temperance. Of all strang., methods, I that was the strangest. By doing away with the ordinary public-house, and es- tablishing palaces of amusement, was only making th* jquor traffic more re- spectable perhaps, but the devil was never more devilish than when made respectable. (Laughter.) The scheme] did not have one redeeming feature iu it. Councillor J. Stanford, ex-Mayor of Wrexham, characterised the scheme as a monument, of strategy. Influenced by public opinion, magistrates refused to grant any new license, and insisted on a reduction of the present number. And dust was now being thrown into the ey ??s: of the magistrates? and public opinion soft-soaped by the scheme. On tile proposition of the Rev. J. I Morgan (Skewen), a resolution protest- ing against the scheme was unanimously carried.

BADLY DAMAGED. SWANSEA ST £ A«« iN COLLISION fN I he SuK £ As the English steamer Electra, bound from iiouen to Rotterdam, was proceeding down the Seine on Tueo^c.y (says a Havre telegram to the "Ex- celsior" ), she came into collision with another English vessel, the Swansea Bay, laden with coal for Rouen. The Electra was badly damaged, and one of the crew injured, and the ves- sel has been taken to Honiieur. The Swansea Lay was able to continue her voyage. The Swansea Bay is a steel screw steamer of 1,390 tons register, built in 1903 by Messrs. Irvine and Co., of Liverpool. She is owned by the Swan- sea Steamship Company (Limited), of winch Messrs. Richards, Turpm, and Co., are the managers.

I At the beginning of the season the Mount Pleasant lads did not take the game seri- ousiv. but lately be ha? devoted more at- tennon to tae sport, and ha? improved im- mensely. Built on big lines, and possessing is a us?tui ass?!. to a filie turn oi speed, lie is a ttsdul a8s,G to the Mount Pleasant side. On Saturday he received* the whole attention of the M cst- eudcrs, and it stands to his credit that he was able to add two tries, while on a couple of occasions he got very near the line. His chief stumbling block was Creber, and rarelv have 1 seen a more gritty display of tacklIDg than that ginen by the Brynmill centre. Time after time, when Hurse had brushed aside the defence, Creber would pop up and bring him to the ground in no un- certain manner. Creber played the best game of nir, schoolboy career, and had it not been for him, the Westenders wou.'d have had several more tries up against them Towards the end the duel between the two lads seemed to excite the specta- tors, but to the credit of iiurse he never took an u.:fair advantage of his weight. Ga.rd was the pick of the Terrace-road for- wardo, and gave considerable assistance to hrGe. Another player who struck me as hciu-r above the average was Tom Jones at full-back I SHORT, BUT SURE. I His fielding was remarkably good, and bis kicking, although not lengthy, generally readied the touch-line. For Brynmill, Cre- ber, as mentioned above. played finely, i while Nicholas, in the pack, proved an ex- cellent leader, and set a good example LO the others. Be\an and Jones worked the scrutas well, and snouid develop into a ti..e- iul pair before the season terminates. Tne three-quarters, with the exception of Cre- ber. were not up to the standard of the otli o-, departments of the side, and did rot relish going down to the ball. F. Hovvells, who acted as custodian, is a brother to Graham and Ken iiowells. of international and town fame, and bids fair to emulate the skill of these two He fielded the ball accurately, and when he becomes accustomed to the position, should give confidence to his side. National have been making 6teady pro- greaa in the League competition, and on :rJy ta:ateH(ltl!:t¿oü hned way to win. The Vincent-street lads were ex- ceedingly lu-ky to secure a drop:>ed goal through Sid Jones early in 'the game, ail after the interval they had all their work cut out to stave, off the a&:gresai\€ move- I ments of the Nationalists. St. Helen's were well served in front by Brookman aid Looseinore, both of vrhom played splendidly from beginning to end. Be hind the scrum Tom »nfiia,ns and Sid Jones hit it off nicely together, and the Swansea half displayed fine skill in ensineering movements which should have been better utilised by the hacks, but Lethbridge was the only one of the quartet who showed convincing form. ¡ National must be commended on their whole-hcar• ed display. FIERCE RUSHES. Yfhat they were deficient in rkill they made up for in determination and grit. They were seeu at their beet in the open, and their n^ree rushes gained big slices of territory. Karris, Phillips, and Gappy were a trio of workers, and their efforts deserved a better reward. Manselton have shown food iorm in tht-tr school games during the second round, and had not previously been defeated. They met their Waterloo, how- ever, when opposing Kutiand-street, who gained the verdict by three points. Play was very even throusht'n? ?nd a draw would have been a correct ('ntenon of the play. In fact. !,J:llli'e!ton had hard lines in not scoriae, as Loose-tnore driobled the ball PA Gammon when he was badly fouled vvith the line at his mercy. Lad a try been swarded it would have been a fitting penalty. Bladen played finely for Rutlarrf- i st.reot, and made several fine openinee. hraham, who was not. up to his Uisual i stant"ard retrieved by .scorin» a good try. For Manselton, Beynon.

WAS BAILIFFE PREVOKED? i Undoubtedly the most exciting s-occer ¡ l1le ("dr t'n in Llanely was that at uaiiway on Saturday oetween Llaaelly and I Southend United in the Southern i-eiigue. During the nrst half Llanelly ehowed up bet,ter than the visitors but faileci to turn their superiority to account, and Southend gained the lead by a seal scored after Bailiff had failed to ga.iier a shot. Ihen in the second half fcaaiif was ordered oii within ten mifeiutes, and Llanelly's vlianoes of victory did net appear striking but making a marvei.ous recovery, and shcnv ing form that was almost wonderful, the Llanelly players played brilliantly anu i s.ored four goals to give S'mhend a most severe drubbing. Keen dis.u^sion has been caused by the incidents leading up 1.0 the ordering off of Llanelly's international ecalii. and much sympathy has boen ex- pressed with him, the contention being that he was prevoked. From dealing with such an incident, it is pleasing to turn to ) ti?rn to the wonderful form of the Llanelly team in the last five and twenty minutes. When Bailiff went off Peters went into Roal. duugn came left bacK, and Osborne right -If. Though only fcur, the. forwards went off with rave dash, not losing their heads j and forgetting their skill.
