Mr. John Davies, one of the senior deacons, in presenting a. purse of gold to Mr. Williams, on behalf of the church, spoke in a very able manner of the recipient's abilities. He also referred to the prosperous times which had attended Mr. Williams' pastorate, and much regret- ted his departure. The Rev. M. H. Ellis presented a cheque on hehal] ol ministers and friends in various parts of the country. I' l ic The recipient, responding, referred to his past connections with the church, and said it had been a very pleasant period for him during his threo years' stay at Trinity. ii tlire(- y(,.ai,,?l sti.N, it had act?dnobiy towards him, and it was with deep regr?t that he left the church to seek a Iie' field of labour. The work of the church had been much retarded during his stay on account of the indus- trial struggles which had been going Oil in 1 he district, but lie wished the church every success and prosperity in the future. A presentation of a purse of gold was a lso made to Mrs. Williams on behalf of the Trinity hranch (II the Merched y De, by Mrs. Bolton, of Trealaw.

Rev. W. Ambrose Williams. [AX APPRECIATION.1 In losing the Rev. W. Ambto-,e Wil- liams, Tonypandy is losing a aiend of sterling worth, one who is as true- as steel. Mr. Williams'' stay in our midst lias not been a long one. but during the time he has been here he endeared him- self to the hearls of many. Our friend was born at. Gorwvdd. near Llanwrtyd Wells, -and commenced preaching at the endv age of 17. After he started on his ministerial career, lie went to the Pre- paratory Schools at Swansea, and Llall- dysstii. He then wont to the University College. Cardiff, and whilst there received a cail to Aberdare. From Aherdare he went to Terrace Road. Swansea, and from there to Pontrhydyten. Then came the call to Trinity, Tonypandy, a church that has won for itself an unique place among the C.M. churches of the district. Here, in snito of the sad industrial conditions, lie has done good work, and it is a pity that now a settlement has come about, he will not. reap the fruits of that for which ho worked and prayed. During the whole- of this time, when passions were roused and when men were smart- ing from a feeling j Mr. Willi ams kept cool, and as chairman of the Central Distress Committee, was a wise and cautious leader. Above qll, Mr. Williams is a preacher. Pleaching is the passion of his life. Hê is an eYcllWelist. not a sayer of smooth things, not- a dechiimer of platitudes, but a preacher of the Gospel, and tliat not a rose-water Gospel. At Swansea, he gathered a con- gregation and established a church. Though he feels his place- is the pulpit, yet lie has done excellent work in other directions. For many years he was secre- tary or the West Glamorgan Monthly Meeting, and was a member of the Edu- cation Committee. He has been a governor of the Intermediate Schools at Port Talbot, and tor many years a County School manager. In writing of Mr. Wil- liams. we must not forget Mrs. Williams, who has been a true helper in every respect. AV-o regret their departure, and trust that in Australia they will Hot feel lonely. Their friends in Wales will ever remember their kindness and geniality. No distance can break the tie ot friend- ship.

Blaenrhondda It is very gratifying to note the rapid developments taking place in Blaen- rhondda. New streets of houses have sprung up in a. very short time, and it is prohable. that in a few years the extreme terminus of the Rhondda will be a very busy spot. The Fernhill and North DUll- raven Collieries are opening out a large area of new workings. The output ot coal is increasing daily, which means mote employment. Ail the machinery, Arc., underground and on the surface is being replaced by tin; latest type, a huge power house has just been completed, and an electrical plant is in preparation. The collieries' headgear has been recently 111 which work some remarkable feats have been accomplished, v. ithout a loss of a single day's uork: such opera- tions in the past would mean at least a fortnight's loss of tlme to the workmen. The changes were made without auy I hitch or loss as follows:— The first in 30 hours, the second in 27, and the third in 24 hours, constituting a re<'ord in the changing of pit headgear. Great credit is due to the able engineering of all concerned.

My little girt suffered severely with a bad head, which broke out in Scabs and Running Sores (which had a most offensive smell), the whole head being unclean and in a foul state. I tried everything to no effect, but after using your Gomar's Balm, as directed, for a little while, it healed, and the head is now as well as ever. It is truly a most effective remedy, and no mother should be without it. J, E. JENKINS. Vietoria Terrace, Abertillery, Mon. TRY IT!
