Gohebiaeth. SYR,—Bydd y flwyddyn hon yn cwblhau 30 mlynedd o weinidogaeth y Parch J. Mills, yn Bethel, Abernant. A ydyw yr amgylchiad i fyned heibio yn ddisylw ? Tebygaf glywed adsain yn dywedyd, Nac ydyw." Ati. frodyr, ar unwaith i wneyd rhywbeth yn deilwng o'r gwrthddrych. Gwn eich bod yn eglwys weithgar, ac yn parchu eich gweinidog, yr hwn sydd wedi ei fagu yn y lie. Mae ysgrifenvcld y llinellau hyn yn barod i ddodi ei ysgwydd wrth yr olwyn, ac i ddodi ei hatling yn y drysorfa. 'Does dim ond eisieu dechreu," ys dywed y bardd. Yr eiddoch, GOMER.

Newyddion Cyffredinol. Erbyn hyn y mae Mr John Mills (Tar- ianydd) a Dyfed wedi dyfod o'r Dwyrain i'r Gorllewin-fel v doethion gynt. Mae Mr Mills yn edrych yn gampus. Ofnwn eu bod y tro hwn, fel y wenoliaid yn fynych wedi dychwelyd yn hir o flaen y gwanwyn. Pan gyrhaeddasant Cairo yr oedd trigolion y ddinas hono heb weled gwlaw er ys agos i flwyddyn. Nid rhyfedd eu bod yn addoli yr haul yn ngwledydd tesog heulog y Dwyrain. Efallai yr addolem ninau ei pe gwelem ef ambell dro. 000 1 Tra yr oedd y cldau Gymro yn dychwelyd o wlad y pyramidiau yr oedd Joseph Cham- berlain yn myned yno. A ydyw Joseph yn myned i'r Aipht 1 gael cvflawniad o'i freuddwydion ? A oes rhai o'i frodyr yn myned ar ei ol ? A ydyw Joseph yn myned i dolli eu hyd ? Dyna gwestiynau i Moses yc ugeinfed ganrif eu hateb. 000 Y mae y Parch Wynne Jones, ficer Caer- narfon, yn ymgeisydd tebygol am arch- ddiaconiaeth Bangor, yr hon sydd yn wag ar hyn o bryd. Y mae y ficer, yr hwn sydd yn boblogaidd neilldnol yn ei faes presenol, yn adnabyddus i lawer yn Aberdar, lie y bu yn gwemyddu un amser, a lie y cafodd gyd- mar bywyd yn mherson merch Arglwydd 1 Aberdar. 0 0 0 Yr wythnos ddiweddaf yn Brynmawr bu farw pedwar o bersonau dros 90 oed. 000 Nid yw pobl ieuainc Casnewydd yn engyl, mwy na ieuenctyd Aberdar neu ryw dref arall. Achwyna y Parch Elwyn Thomas eu bod yn tramwy yr ystrydoedd ar nos Suliau, a geilw eu hymdaith yn I, Devil's Parade." 'WeI, gallant wneyd yr hyn sydd waeth na cherdded ol a blaen ar hyd yr heolydd, ac efallai y gwnelent rywbeth sydd well pe gwnelai gweinidogion ryw ddarpariaeth ar eu cyfer ragor na'u condemnio a'u traddodi i Satan. 000 Y mae tysteb Watcyn Wyn yn myned rhag y blaen. Beirdd a llenoi-ion megys Cochfarf, Penar, Towyn. a Job ydynt ei phrif hyrwyddwyr. 000 Bydd i gyfrol goffadwriaethol o weithiau barddol y diweddar Ben Bowen gael ei chyhoeddi yn fuan.

Merthyr Board of Guardians The above was held on Saturday. There ,vere present Mr J. Rogers in the chair, Revs. J. O'Reilly and J. Hathren Davies (vice-chairmen), v Mrs Evans, Mrs D. M. Richards, Messrs D. Evans (Hirwain), D. Willdns. J. Price. J. Edwards, S. Francis, T, Evans, R. Rees, H. Jones, T. Weale, J. Williams, V. A. Wills, John Morgan, T. Williams, S. Hawkins, D. Edwards, J. Prowle, D. Evans (Merthyr), N. F. Hankey, J. Caughlin, D. Hughes, W. A. Morgan, J. Aurelius, A. Davies, J. H. James, H. Lewis, Revs. W. S. Davies, T. Rees, T. J. Edwards, Messrs F. T. James (clerk), E. J. Hughes (assistant clerk). OUT-RELIEF.-A cheque for .£320 was drawn. MASTER'S ILLNESS.—The chairman said that he regretted to state that the master was seriously ill.—A vote of sympathy with Mr Pearcey in his illness was then passed. RATE COLLECTOR'S SALARY. THE NEXT MOVE. Before proceeding with Mr Prowle's motion to rescind the resolution recommend- ing the Local Government Board to advance Mr Price's salary, the clerk read a letter from that body sanctioning the advance. Consequently the clerk maintained that they could not now go into the matter, and Mr Prowle's motion would fall through.-Mr Prowle maintained that the Local Govern- ment Board had decided the matter without being in receipt of sufficient data and urged that as a reason for re-opening the matter.— Chairman: The clerk says that the matter is disposed of, therefore it is finished with, —Mr Prowle Why did not the clerk inform the Local Government Board of my notice 'of motion to rescind, the same as he did re the motion for an enquiry into the incidence of the Union ?-The clerk explained that he had sent a newspaper report to Mr Bircham, the poor law inspector, which was equiva- lent to it.—Mr Prowle complained that the matter was not thoroughly gone into. Mr Price sent a letter asking for an advance. It was referred to the Finance Committee, who animated by a sympathetic sentiment recommended the increase.—Mr D. Evans complained that when they discussed Mr Price's refusal to give particulars re the ex- penses of registration, they were ruled out of order, and told that the matter would be dealt with in connection with Mr Prowle's motion. Now the Local Government Board had been hurried in the matter, with the result that Mr Prowle's motion was nipped in the bud.—The chairman You must have the facts before making accusations.—Mr Evans It is a matter of throttling. If you will not hear it now, there is another place. The matter will be probed to its very essence.—The Rev J. O'Reilly observed that Mr Evans' remarks formed a good specimen of stump oratory—Finally Mr Prowle asked whether his motion was ruled out of order. The chairman replied in the affirma- tive, and advised Mr Prowle to take the matter into his own hands.—Mr S. Francis asked if the same facility would be given to make a reduction as to make an advance.— The chairman said yes.—Mr Prowle Then I will give notice of motion that Mr Price's salary be reduced by £ o0. GKLLIGAER COTTAGE HOMES.—The clerk said that a committee of the whole Board had decided to erect Cottage Homes for Gelligaer at Bargoed.—The chairman said that at the meeting many propositions were made, but they were practically unanimous in recommending the Board to provide Cot- tage Homes.—After some disussion the fol- lowing were elected a special committee to deal with the details of the question, and to report the result to the Board:—Mrs Evans, Mrs Richards, Messrs R. Rees, D. Evans (Hirwain), Revs J. O'Reilly, T. Rees, J. H. Davies and the chairman. EDUCATION AND IMPERIAL FUNDS.—Messrs D. A. Thomas, M.P., and Keir Hardie, M.P., wrote promising their earnest consideration to the resolution of the Guardians re placing the maintenance of schools on the imperial exchequer. APOLOGIES AND EXPLANATION.—Mr D. Evans (Merthyr) referred to reports in the Press regarding a statement alleged to have been made by him at the last meeting, to the effect that a certain man's deprivation of his wife had been the means of lightening his burden. What be had said-or at least what he meant to say—was that in some cases it so happened. He would give in to no man in affection for woman (laughter), and if any Guardian loved his wife more than what he (the speaker.) did, he must be a very good Christian indeed —The chair- man said that the Press reports were quite correct. Evidently Mr Evans did not pro- perly express what he meant. The chair- man also said that he (the chairman) had made use of the word bear garden when he was a bit annoyed. He wished to ex- plain that this definition only applied to two or three recent meetings of the Guardians. During his whole tenure of office as chairman he had been treated with the utmost respect and obedience (hear, hear). RACKRENTING,—Mr H. Jones then moved the following resolution That this Board protests against the exorbitant rents charged in this district for houses, thus com- pelling many poor people to seek extra out- door relief and forcing others to become chargeable to the parish, and that the atten- tion of the overseers be called to the same." Mr Jones said that there were house-owners in Dowlais who were bleeding the poor by means of high rents, and he believed that an expression of opinion by the Guardians on the subject would do good. To condemn this practice would give impetus to the question of rating land values, and also bring odium on those rackrenters. Many of these house-owners kept two rent books, one for the tenant and one for inspection when required.—Mr J. Caughlin seconded, and Mr J. Prowle supported the resolution, each relating his own personal experience of the tyranny of unscrupulous house-owners. —The motion was unanimously carried. ASSESSMENT.—Mr A. S. Morris, secretary of the Aberdare Central Free Library and Col. Phillips, clerk to the District Council, appeared to appeal against the assessment of the above Free Library. It was agreed to reduce the assessment fro-ii X51 ratable to a nominal sum of £1.

Lecture on Passive Resis- tance." The AlSeged Proselytising at Aberdare. On Saturday, under the auspices of the Aberdare Liberal Club, the Rev J. L. Jen- kins, Trinity, lectured on Passive Resis- tance to a good audience, Mr J. D. Thomas, solicitor, in the chair. Mr Jenkins delivered a most powerful and eloquent address in his characteristic, clear, and effective style. As we understand that the address will be published en toto, we shall not mar it by inserting portions thereof. The speaker complained of the apathy of the Noncon- formist conscience in Aberdare. At the close an opportunity for discussion was given. Mr Keast referred to the state- ments made by an ex-principal of a Training School in North Wales, which statements were quoted hy the lecturer. Mr Keast explained that the Government threatened to discontinue the grant of that college unless the principal discontinued his attack on Nonconformity, and because he persisted in his attacks he was dismissed.—Mrs W. Lloyd then said that the principal was not dismissed for 18 years afterwards.—Mr Keast maintained that he was dismissed within a year from the time he gave vent to such utterances. Messrs J. W. Harris, Griffith George J-P., and F. E. Stansfield heartily endorsed the whole of Mr Jenkins' lecture. Mr Morgan Watkins said that consequent upon some remarks he had made at the annual meeting of the Liberal Club, he was visited on Friday by the headmaster of the Aberdare National School and his assistant, with regard to his observations re prosely- tising, which were reported in the ABERDARE LEADER. They told him that he had made three false statements. Firstly, that the children of the National School had been marched off to St. Elvan's on Ash Wed- nesday. Secondly, that they were obliged to take out collection boxes. Thirdly, that the children had been proselytised. He had admitted that the statement that the child- ren were marched was incorrect. Reg. arding the second statement, he had not said that the children were compelled to take boxes, but that they were given to them. And with regard to the charge of proselytising, he still adhered to it. Mr Williams held that the children went to St. Elvan's of their own free will, but on making enquiries he had discovered that Mr Pugh, the curate, had attended the school, early in the day, and said that he expected all Church of England children to attend St. Elvan's. Regarding the Noncon- formist children, he did not wish them to come without their parents' consent. But then, the Nonconformist children went with the crowd. He did not see that he had uttered 11 three base falsehoods" as his accusers had said. If he had, he was pre- pared so stick to them (loud laughter). Mr Pugh, the priest, had attended the school, and underlying his action was the influence which compelled the children to become Church of England children. He (the speaker) had told them that they could preach whatever they liked, but at their own expense. He could not allow them to make their kiddies Church of England priggies." On the motion of the Rev J. M. Jones, seconded by Mr R. R. Price, a vote of thanks to Mr Jenkins was cordially passed.

The Assessment of Hill's Plymouth Colliery. At the Assessment Committee of the Merthyr Board of Guardians on Saturday, the adjourned appeal of Hill's Plymouth Co. against the assessment of their colliery came on. Mr Hankey, one of the directors, and Mr F. P. Charles, solicitor, were present. The report of Mr Vachell, who had been engaged to value the collieries, was read. Mr John Rogers, chairman, said there was one point on which they would like to have an explanation. The total quantity of coal raised, he said, for the twelve months ended the 20th of June: 1903, was 584,581 tons, but the quantity returned to the overseers was only 426,806 tons, a difference of 22 per cent. Mr Charles said he was not in a position to give an explanation, because the point had been sprung upon him unexpectedly. He could only suggest that the difference was accounted for by engine coal, and for proper productions consequent upon the greafycost of working the collieries. Mr Vachell was of opinion that the pre- sent ratable value of Y-11,000 15s was not excessive, and that the reduction of zC6000 asked for by the appellants would not be reasonable. The Assessment Committee confirmed the assessment, and upon Mr Charles being apprised of the decision, he intimated the intention of the appellants to go to the Quarter Sessions.
