CENTENARY OF THE BIBLE SOCIETY. The centenary of the British and Foreign Bible Society was celebrated in Machynlleth with much enthusiasm on Sunday. Special sermons bearing on the work of the Society were preached in all the churches and chapels in town, both morning and evening. In the afternoon an united demonstration was held in the Town Hall, which was filled to overflowing with an interested and enthusiastic audience.-11Ie Rev. T. Llewellyn Williams, M.A., rector, presided, and the meeting was opened by the reading of the Scriptures and prayer by the Rev. S. J. Evans, curate. The meeting was thoroughly representative of all the religious denominations in the town and an excellent feeling was manifest throughout.. The Chairman in his opening remark; said that while of necessity they differed on some points, yet on the great main issues they were wholly in agreement and he trusted that that meeting would have the effect of welding the various religious bodies in the town into a oreat common brotherhood, whose one aim should be to bring men to the Cross of Christ. Special hymns had been printed and copies circulated among the audience and after the Chairman's address a Avell-known hymn bear- ing upon the occasion, was sung by the large audience with fine effect, Mr. Humphrey Humphreys, the well-known local soloist, lead- ing. r 1 The Rev. D. H. Hughes, minister of the Baptist Church, in the course of his address, said that one of the great factors that ac- counted for the extraordinary success of the Bible Society was the fact that it was a cue book society, and that all its available re- sources, temporal and spiritual, wealtn, high scholastic abilities, energetic working, as well as unlimited power of prayer, had been and were consecrated to the important aims of the Society, which was the producing of the Bible in such a manner that tended to the great ob- ject of circulating copies of it throughout the whole world. As was suggested in the motto, "The Bible for all the people of the world," the Society aims at being an impar- tial. a truly catholic Society. The grand total of 186 million copies circulated during its first century and the 870 colporteurs as well as the 650 Native Christian Bible women employed by the Society and co-operating with the Mis- sionarv Societies and the cheap editions of the Scripture issued and circulated in our own country should appeal strongly for help in prayer and subscriptions for the Society's suc- cess in the future. Mr. T. R. Morgan, who addressed the meet- ing in English, said they had met to gether to celebrate the centenary of a, great society, one which had done more than any other to spread and popularize, and to make the Scrip- tures accessible to all—a Society, which in the first. century of its existence had circulated 186 million copies of the Scriptures and had translated the socred writings into no fewer than 370 different languages. Why were such efforts so stupendous put forth to print and circulate the Bible throughout the world? It was because they believed the Bible to con- tain God's word and because it helped humanity to know and to understand what God was and with what feelings He regarded the human race. The Bible was full of the profoundest wisdom, the purest ethics, and the most ex- alted morality. It treated of the grandest tnemes, the most infinitely important proposi- tions, which concerned our common humanity. Prophet and seer, poet and psalmist, historian and biographer, priest, apostle, and martyr, had combined in making the books of the Bible the noblest literature of the ages, the most splendid classic the world had ever seen, and the great society which had done so much to circulate it deserved their heartiest support and assistance. The Rev. Josiah Jones followed with a most interesting speech, dealing mainly with the local work of the Society, and enumerating the officials who had done the work of the So- ciety at Machynlleth for the past fifty years and more. Mr. Edward Rees in a brief address followed on similar lines and the last speaker was the Rev. Mr. Roberts, who, in a rousing speech, urged the claims of the Society. The Chairman closed the meeting with the benediction, Mr. Edward Rees having proposed the usual vote of thanks, which was carried with acclamation.

— umi —■IIIHIMIMIIII JVi^WTuVViV St. David's Day.—Under the auspices of the Welsh Literary Society, a festival was held to celebrate the memory of the Patron Saint of the Principality on St. David's Eve. After partaking of the annual supper in connection with it, Mr J. E', Roberts, headmaster of the C.C. Schools, occupiecl the chair. The meet- ing was opened by Mr T. Howells rendering the song Gwyl Dewi" (from Songs of Wales.") The Chairman, in an interesting and instructive address, dealt with the Welsh language and its relation to the rising genera- tion, as well as to its place as a primary sub- ject in the schools of the Principality. He referred1 also to the new departure in the schools of Glamorganshire of teaching the arithmetic tables in the vernacular and ex- pressed his wish of seeing it spreading through- out the schools of Wales. An admirable ad- dress was delivered by the Rev. Elias Jones (C.M.) Dealing with Wales in its relation to establishing the Bible Society (whose cen- tenary is to be celebrated next Sunday) and its pioneers who were the means of bringing the Scriptures to Wales-" Heibl i bawb o bobl y byd "-the Rev. S. Davies, Dolfor, delivered an interesting speech on the origin of the Welsh nation and on its leaders in thought, religion, and war from mediaeval ages onwards, referring to the obstacles and diffi- culties they overcame to attain and maintain the standard Wales occupies among the nations of the world. He also gave a brief biographical sketch of the Patron Saint and of his contemporaries. The musical part of the programme was ably sustained by Miss Egan, Garth Llangollen, whose rendering of patriotic songs was excellent. The singing was beyond anything experienced by the Welsh Society in their celebrations. Mr T. Howell and Mr. G. M. Evans (Llew Maldwyn) and others sang suitable songs exceptionally well and the Misses Katie Vaughan and Katie Jones gave a pianoforte duett "O Dan Faner Hhyexlid" which Was much appreciated. The meeting was brought to a close by Miss Bessie Jones, a promising local artiste, leading with Hen Wlad fy Nhadau," the audience join- ing in the chorus. The duties of accompanist were ably performed by Miss Nellie Roberts. A goodly number attended, but not so numer- ous as in former years, owing to another im- portant public meeting being held in the town at the same hour in connection with the County Council elections.
NEWSPAPER PUBLISHER AND CONTEMPT…
NEWSPAPER PUBLISHER AND CON- TEMPT OF COURT. The King v. Evaiis.-List week, in the King's /Bench Division before the Lord Chief Justice, Mr. Justice Wills, and Mr. Justice Kennedy, sitting as a Divisional Court, the respondent in this case appealed against an order nisi for his attachment for contempt of court. The respondent, it appeared, was the printer and publisher of a Welsh newspaper called Y Goleuad," published at Dolgelley, and the alleged contempt was his having printed a paragraph in that paper relating to proceedings before the Llanrwst magistrates in the case of a solicitor named Roberts, charged with aiding and abetting his partner, one Jones, against whom a warrant was out for the misappropriation of certain trust monies. The paragraph in question was written by the Rev. William Williams, who wrote the notes for the respondent's newspaper, and it ap- peared while the magisterial proceedings were pending. Roberts was discharged by the magistrates, but Jones, who was arrested in America, was subsequently brought up at the Denbigh Assizes, and, pleading guilty, was sen- tenced by Mr. Justice Phillimore to 41 years' penal servitude. 2 Mr. S. G. Lushington, in support of the pre- sent appeal, read an affidavit by the Rev. Wm. Williams, in which that gentleman stated that Williams, in which that gentleman stated that lie wrote the paragraph in question without any intention to prejudice the matter one way or the other, or to do injury to the parties con- cerned, and that he used the words complained of innocently and in the belief that he was simply repeating the substance of the charge pending against the two solicitors. Counsel added that directly it came to respondent's knowledge that objection had been taken to the paragraph, he inserted an apology in his newspaper, and that apology, in fact, ap- peared before the writ of attachment was served upon him. In the result, their lordshis made an order discharging the order nisi for attachment, on the respondent paying the costs of the motion.
WELSH UNIVERSITY COLLEGES.
WELSH UNIVERSITY COLLEGES. The Chancellor of the Exchequer, who was accompanied by Mr. Victor Cavendish, M.P., and Sir Geo. Murray, Secretaries to the Trea- sury, and Sir William Anson, M.P., and fr. Morant, secretaries to the Board of Education, received at the Treasury on Thursday a depu- tation representative of the Welsh university colleges. The deputation having laid before him their case for further treasury contribu- tions, Mr. Austen Chamberlain replied that if comparison were made, even with the in- creased grants to the English university col- leges for which he was prepared to ask Par- liament, it would be found that the Welsh university colleges still enjoyed more favour- able conditions than the English and Scottish colleges. Out of the means at his disposal he could not advise Parliament to vote further sums for university colleges in 1904 and 1905, and he had dealt first with the cases which seemed to him most urgent. Future claims for increased grants must be largely affected by the extent of the local contributions which might be forthcoming. The Chancellor added that he could not believe that demands for the establishment of a school of mines and a chair of geology would fail to meet with much local sympathy and support from those pri- marily interested.

MEDICAL OPINION OiV SEA WEED AS A MEDICINE FOR THE STOMACH, LIVER, KIDNEYS, AND BLOOD. Dr. Kiriloff, in a paper communicated to the Eastern Siberian Medical Association, dealt with the virtues :)f Seaweed in blood diseases. He said :—Seaweed is widely used as a food in Japan and, as it contains combined Iodine, blood diseases, which assume such alarming characteristics in other countries, run a com- paratively mild course in Japan. Other medical authorities have from time to time called attention to the remarkable curative and strengthening power of Seaweed, but it remained for Mr Veno to bring it more forcibly before the notice of the public. VENO'S SEAWEED TONIC is regarded as the standard preparation of Seaweed, and for that reason is prescribed by doctors and used in many hospitals. It contains a deep-water species obtained in the Pacific Ocean, and possesses a wonderful strengthening, healing, ana' purifying power, especially applicable to young and old in spring and autumn. Its most brilliant effect is produced in stomach, liver, kidney, and blood diseases. The ex- traordinary cures it accomplishes even in the worst cases is undeniable proof of its superior value as a general strengthening and curative medicine. It purifies the blood, cures indi- gestion, wind on the stomach, liver complaints. kidney troubles, female weakness, weak and' painful back. headaches, and is very effective in "HABITUAL CONSTIPATION." The Proprietors, knowing the great value A this medicine, are prepared to guarantee a cure or refund the money. This is a very strong stand to take, but it is quite justified bv the great success of the remedy. Ask for VENO'S SEAWEED TONIC. Prices, Is lid and 2s 9d per bottle at Chemists and Drug Stores.

fcPLftisDlJJ wFFEit FROM feiJiiNxiM. PROPOSED UNION OF BALA AND TKEV ECCA COLLEGES. At the quarterly meeting of the South Wales Calvinistic Methodist Association held on Tues- day night at G^lli-road Chapel, Ton, the fol- lowing letter dated March 5th, from Mr. David Davies, Llandinam, addressed to the Rev. Rhys Evans, Llanwrtyd, was read :— Dear Mr. Evansi—I am writing you as the secretary of the Trevecca College Committee with reference to the proposed scheme for uniting our two Colleges, Bala and Trevecca, into one Theological College for the Connexion and on behalf of my mother, my sisters, and myself, I wish to say that we shall be very glad to subscribe £ 12,000 towards the erection of a new college, provided the two following condi- tions are carried out, viz. (1), That the present colleges of Bala and Trevecca shall be united into one college for the whole denomination; (2) That this college shall be situated at Aber- ystwyth. As far as I can gather the feeling in North and South Wales is running strongly in favour of a united college, and I think Aber- ystwyth is by far the most central spot in Wales where such a college might with advan- tage be built. Besides, the theological stu- dents would there be able to attend classes at the University College, and at the same time would have an opportunity of mixing in the society of University students. These are only a few of the advantages which I think the union of our present colleges at Aberyst- wyth would give us. I believe also that at Aberystwyth we shall probably be able to se- cure a fine site for the proposed new college, so I do hope that North and South Wales will cordially join together to support this scheme. I understand the subject is to be discussed at the association next week, and I should be very much obliged if you will kindly convey the offer conveyed in this letter to your committee for their consideration.—Believe me, yours faithfully, David Davies. Mr Davies, who was present at the meeting, was given a cordial reception and in a few Remarks he emphasised the advantages to be gained from uniting the Colleges and expressed the hope that the Asso- ciation would accept the offer. The meeting gratefully acknowledged the offer and a dis- cussion followed, the offer being eventually re- ferred to the various districts. The question of appointing a vice-principal for Trevecca College was not considered.

When (-'riving toward Cefacoed, near Goginan, the Ivrst bit by some doga, became restive and un- m%uag,ibit! and bolted. Mr and Mrs Jones were thrown (ut. Mr Jones' shoulder was dislocated and Mrs J ues received injuries to her head. Both miracul usly escaped from being killed. Mr Jones is a number of the Rhydyfelin Friendly Society since its formation in the y ar 1863, and a vote of sympathy w'th him and Mrs Jom-s was passed. It was ft It that it waa through Lis faithfulness, energy, and adherence to th- rubs that the Society is at prssent in such a flourishing state. A small committt-e was formed and collectors appointed to canvass tht members for subscription. The dis- trict was divided into five portions, and the result was that a substantial sum was obtained. Mr Vaughan Davies, M.P., headed the list, aud mem- bers contributed from 59 downward. It was decided that, be most suitable present to make would b, a life-sized portrait of Mr Jones. Mr H. H. Daviee, photographer, Fier street, Aberystwyth, was- consulted, and an excelhft likeress was pro- duceti i a solid walnut frame. with the following inscription in Welsh on a silver plate CyBwyn. wyd gin Gyrndeithas Gyfeiilg-r Rhydyfelin am ei ffyidiawn ■ a^auaeth am yspaid o dros 40ain mlynedd. Dyddiedig 7fed o Mawrth, 1904." The day ef the prerieutatioi-I was fixed fur Monday last, and Mr Vaughan Davies, M P-, was invited to make the Fot-entation. The meeting was appointed to meet at half past seven o'clock, and was held at the Club room, Mr Davies beiug present before the time fixed. Mr Richard Richards, Gwaryfelin, was voted 10 the chair in the absence of the chair- man of the Committee, Mr E. Hughes, Cefiillaii,- The Chairman said he was very glad to be present to show his appreciation of Mr Jones's services to the Society since its formation, Although he was a comparative young member compared with Mr Jones, they would all admit that it w-s through his (Mr Jones's) constant care, wise discretion, and advice the Society was in ita present condition. He (the Chairman) was proud that Mr Vaughan Davies, the member for the countj, bad consented to be present. Both Mr Davies and Mr Jones were brought up together aud were next door neighbours. Before calling on Mr Davies to make the presentation, he invited some of the mem- bers present to make a few nmarks-Mr William Edwards, Cliff-terrace, said that he had the great est respect for Mr Jones. One thiug was his straightforwardness. Whatever he might do or say he would do it openly and not behind anybody's back Taking Mr Jones as a guardian, he cou- idertd him most cooscientious and not afraid of spetikitig (jut what he thought was right. It was the same in the club. He did everything without ear or favour. He (Mr Edwards) had m*ny tirne-3 disagreed with him upon sevei al sut jects 9nd fought hard, but always in the end they were the greatest of friends.—Mr Evan Lew is, Pentrebout, Mr John Jenkins, Rhvdyfelin, Mr Thomas L'JwiQ, Fentre- bont, Mr John Morris. Pontllolwyn, and Mr Enoch Hughes, Cefnllan (who had jl:4 arrived), also spoke of Mr Jones as their best adviser. When- ever they were in any doubt upou any question his advice was always right.—Mr Vaughan Davies waB then called upon to make the presentation and said he was proud ot the opportunity to be present and to have the privilege of presenting Mr Jones with his portrllit. Mr Jones and himself were very in- timate friends from their childhord. His n'other «!so was a frieud of Mr Jones's moth, rand what- ever were their opinions on different questions they were always friendly. Mr Joues was of a stern and determined mind and it was through men like him, after the general ebction of 186S. which was a noted one for Caidigan^hire, and through their faithfulness to th causo of Literalism, that the evictions took place. (Hear, hear.) Mr Jones was one of the evicted tenants and left his country for a while. The consequence was the passing of the Ballot Act which turned out to be a blessing to the country at large. (Hear, hear.) Notwithstanding some nistigreem, nt between himself and Mr Jones he considered him one of his best frieuds and hoped to continue so. He was gLd to s,e the Society in such a satisfactory financial state. He had no hesi- tation in saying that it was one of the most flourish- ing of its kind in the whole kingdom. (Cheers.) Last year it numbered 83. T, at gave an average per member of something like ft2 14s 6d. Taking 2 the Oddfellows and Foresters, their average was Ell odd per member. He also found that during the period Mr Jones had been a member he contri- buted the sum of f26 13s 0..1, which he real'y had given to the Society, and he was told that, Mr Jones never asked a penny from its funds. (Cheers.) Mr Davies then made the presentation, saying that it was with the 1 greatest of pleasure he was pnsrut t; at evening to do so. He c innidered it was an excellent portrait and wished Mr and Mrs Jones long life. (Applause.)—Mr Jones, in acknowledging, said he □ ever dreamt of being the recipient of such a presentation. He thanked all the members for their kind arpnciadon of his services to the Society. Whatever he did, he did it couscien- tious!y for their wel'are. He « as g'afl to see the Society in its present c-million, but reminded the m inbira to be very careful in future. After levising the rulep, giving 9o a week a-s sick pay, he afraid that of thf mcmbeis took advan- tag ot it. Whatever he had done in the past, he would endeavour ro do in future altid was g!ad to say that siuce he joined t e Society, with very few exceptions, he never had any occasion to c aim from i's beti, fits and hopdi he never would. (Ap- plause ) Referring to tne little difference between Himself and Mr Davies, he said that the only two he had oc a-ion to disagree with the most were Mr William Edwards in the Club aud Mr Davies outside, but they always parted 'rbnds. (Laugh- ter.) He valued the portrait more so becau-e it would be something for his children to look back upon. (Ciiet rs.)-A vote of thanks to Mr Vaughan Davi 8 -or his presence was proposed by Mr Win Edwards who said that he was exceedingly pleased to see Mr Davies there to pay a tnbute of respect to an old fr end. He hoped he would continue to be iheir member of Parliament for many years to come. — Mr Evan Lewis seconded and the pcopori- ¡ ion was carried with itpplaus, .-A vote of thanks to the Chairman was proposed by Mr Vaughan I Davits, which was suitably re, poudtd to.

The folowing letter, translated from Welsh addressed to Messrs Morris Evans and Co., Festiniog, the well-known manufacturers of Household and Cattle Oils, explains itself:- To MESSRS MORRIS EYANS AND Co., Brynbanwy, Llangadfan, Welshpool. Dear Sirs, I feel it my duty, for the sake of those who suffer from this painful affliction, to give testi- mony to my complete cure from CONSUMPTION, and this through using your HOUSEHOLD OIL. From the end of the year 1901 to the middle of 1902 I was under treatment by one of the best doctors in Great Britain, through whom I derived strength in several ways, but still the GERMS remained and were doing their work. I also consulted Specialists. In June, 1902, I was (through the kindness of Arthur Chamberlain, Esq., Birmingham) el sent to the VENTNOR CONSUMPTIVE HOSPITAL, Isle of Wight, where for 10 weeks I underwent the OPEN-AIR TREATMENT. I felt a littli better at the start, but on returning to Wales, and finding that my left lung was still affected I realised in a few weeks that I had gone back to the old state; I could not lie at all on the left side, the PAINS CONTINUED, and the PHLEGMING was very bad, whilst I could not walk upstairs. Fortunately, I heard of Morris Evans's Oit and its remedies. I immediately gave it < trial, and by to-day I am entirely WWHOUT PAIN. I can lie on the LEFT SIDE as well M the RIGHT, the PHLEGMING has ceased, I eat HEARTILY, and feel myself without ANY PAIN whatever. Yours truly, JOHN EVANB.
