LLANDILO. 1 A very successful opening of the Young People's Guild, beating all records of previous years, was held at the Ebenezer Baptist Schoolroom, when about 140 were entertained to tea.

Owen, B.A., assisted by a large number of willing hands. A hearty welcome was given to all, and a very enjoyable evening was spent.

The Day's Gossip.
The Day's Gossip. Leader Office, Thursday. It is less widely known than it should be that Dr. Saleeby was one of the earliest. adYOCate.5 of the steel shrapnel helmet, and played a prominent part in bringing its merits before the authorities and secur- ing its supply to the men at the front. One of the essays in The Whole Armour of Man deals briefly with the history of the helmet, and incidentally discloses a fresh instance of the appalling ignorance of the War Office in all that concerns sciance it also urges that body armour should have been used. But The Whole Armour of Man of. the title is not this material protection, but the defence offered by scientific knowledge againot disease and racial degeneration. In these short discourses the author deals with the. subject of his address at Swa.nsea last night—the need of a Ministry of Health (the creation of which realises one of the objects for which he has fought for some years), the principles of practical eugenics, the protection of child life, alcohol, lunacy, and various recent advances in mc-dical research. At the Pictures. I It was strange to sit in a picture theatre the other night and to see Smiling" Bill Parsons in a laughable comedy, when the news had already come over from America that the famous comedian had died very suddenly. The same thoughts struck me.. I well remember, when that famous kinema actor, John Bunny, died; yet in his case even now we see some of his pro- ductions. And now when speaking on pic- ture matters, perhaps it might interest many picture-goers to know.that on Mon- day Miss Queenie Thomas, the B.P. film star, was married at St. Margaret's Church, Westminster, to Mr. George New- man I The War and Preaching." I "The War ano Preaching," by John Kelman, D.D. [Hoddecr and Stoughton; 6s] is the.45th eeri-eis of the Lyman Beecher Lectures on Preaching a.t Yale University. Many famous preachers have iectured on Preaching at Yale, and not the least fampua is Dr. Kelman. This volume will be one of the most eagerly read of series it is safe to say. For Dr. Kelman was the successor of Dr. Alex- ander Whyte at Free St. George's Edin- burgh at the time the- lectures were delivered: and now follows upon Dr. J. H. Jowett in America. "The War and Preaching" is a book for preachers fir.9t of all; but if it be true that tho Church moulds the ministry it would be an excellent tiling for the Church if officers and members alike could be persuaded to read -it. The War, Dr. Kelman believes, has altered preaching. as it has altered everything elee. It is difficult to conceive of any- thing to-duy except in terms of the War. It has been an event'at once critical and formative; crashing thxough all formali- ties, it has prepared the way for a future which has, until mw, been no more than a dream, but -at length has become-a living possibility and an urgent duty. The need of the hour is reality. Preach- ing must be ser lt-ve to the metamor- phoses of the swiftly-changing e mc. If I it is to be taken seriously as a living force, it must be adventurous And daring. And there must be a return from dogma to experience In the lecture, Tile Preacher as Pr'est," Dr. Kelman ph a- siaeg the priestly character of the Christ- ian ministry. It needs emphasis. The preacher must be a humanist. lie .-a a priest in the sense that he assists men I in their efforts after communion with God. He helps and &umula*es that com- munion, providing it wtli a fitting language, awakening the desire for it j where that has fallen asleep. Swansea's Tank. Somebody at the War Office is evi- dently deeply concerned that Irons' war savings presentation larks shail be pro- perly fhaintained and prevented from deterioration into rust and desuetude. Swansea's unattended and unapproach- able. because of the trivial paling round it. evidently would not pleilse him, to jude from the foHowii? note from the ?v.6p- Publicity Department on tank pre- sentation ::—" Each city and town so honoured should arrange far proper care and attention to be bestowed upon its charge, so as to keep it always a proud and fitting memorial to an arm of the Service which did so much to save the lives of many thousands of citizen soldiers. The tank should rest upon a firm concrete foundation of ample area, so that on wet days visitors ihqv not carry mud into the interior. The exterior of the hull and the roof ehould be well cleaned and thoroughly painted at regu- lar intervals, and the wonderful dazzle and Futurist camouflage effects may be used with advantage. But if camouflage is not passible, a good service- able brown colour may be used without departing from realism, Mi, indeed, many tanks went into action plainly painted and with no attempt at cunning disguise. The tracks or road chains ehould be very I thoroughly treated, else- they will soon show signs of rust and decy and, as it is I not practicable to keep them bright, th"; should be painted a colour as near the I natural steel as possible. A tank crew dearly loved to have all the inside of the machine white in colour, and it is doubt- ful if their choice can be improved upon, with a dull black for the For the rest, bras-s work and 6teel rods should be ¡ kept bright and clean, and this duty I could well be included in the daily routine I of an employe of the local council. In wet weather, and at night, the roof of the machine ehould be covered with a tar- paulin." All this, emanating evidently from a man who knows his well, contrasts strangely with talk of using the presentation for scrap iron. It is a counsel of perfection, of course, but )1 Swansea ought to get some useful tips from it. The Good Old Days I Oll! for the good old d-\ys of before the war. Then the "80 bob man" to a cer- tain extent was affluent. Many of our knuts earned no more, and yet we heard them talk of a fortnight in Switzerland I've had old king. And a deuced jolly time too! In those day's such tours run to figures like .635 or 3:40, and very little we hear of those. Searching through an old drawer a day or two ago. I came across a Tourist Society's catalogue for 1911. Then I sighed for the return of those days because, on a casual glance through, I saw such announcements as these Grand 14 days Swiss Tour, Lucerne and Beraese-Obertand and Paris" for the astonishing price of spvc-,r. guineas, and this including everything! Again I saw; A Week on the Rhine for 51 guineas nnd Twenty-five days tour of Europe visiting Holland, Belgium, the Rhine. Germany, The Tyrol, Austrhi. Bohemia, j Switzerland, and France, including hotel accommodation," all for Jn6. I closed tin51 book with a sigh of rogcet. j
