HARVEST THANKSGIVING SERVICES.—At the Barry Wesleyan Chapel on Sunday last, harvest thanksgiving services were held. The building was decorated with various flowers and plants, which gave it a beautiful appearance and reflected particular credit upon the taste of those responsible for the decoration. Special hymns, solos, and duets were sung during the afternoon by the Sunday School scholars, and the choir singing at the evening service was unusually pleasing. Miss Roberts presided at the organ. At the morning service an excellent sermon was preached by Mr. J. H. Payne, Cardiff, and in the afternoon the same gentleman and the Rev. G. H. Dunstan preached. The latter gentleman based his remarks upon the Garden of the Lord. At the evening service the Rev. S. H. Dnnstan preached a most interesting and instructive sermon, taking his text from Job xii., 8: Speak to the earth, and it will teach thee." The rev. gentleman -dwelt upon the practical lessons to be derived from the productions of nature, and said that it was only in response to man's toil tha.t the earth would yield her fruit. The earth taught us generosity from the luxu- riance of her gifts, and by the magnitude of her store taught us how insignificant man was. The address was listened to with the deepest attention. Collections were made at the different services towards the chapel fands. BENEFIT SMOKING CONCERT.—A smoking con- cert was held at the Marine Hotel on Saturday evening last, in aid of the widow of the late Mr. Ainsly. who was drowned sometime ago Mr. J. Guy presided.

They hope every one will help to make it a success. Mr. Rees Jones, the secretary of the Barry Dock Working Men's Regatta, has sent a cheque for £1 Is. to the funds of the Nursing Associa- tion from the proceeds of the regatta. SERVICE OF SONG.—On Wednesday evening a very successful temperance service of song, entitled Ruin and Rescue," was performed at the Wesleyan Chapel, Barry, by the choir of the Cadoxton Wesleyan Church. The decorations for the harvest festival of the preceding Sunday still remained on the walls and suspended from the roof of the building.—The Rev. Graham Payne presided over a fairly good attendance, and in his speech drew attention to the need of gene- rous donations. A debt of X150 remained on the Church, and the proceeds of the entertainment and of the harvest thanksgiving services would be used towards clearing the debt off He was very anxious to see that debt wiped off, as they intended, as soon a" -possible, to enlarge the building to meet the want) of their constantly increasing congregation. The readings of the service of song was given by Mr. Flowers, Mr. Davies conducted the singing, the harmonium being presided over by Mr. Wensley. The entertainment was much enjoyed by those present, and at its conclu- sion Mr. Moon proposed a vote of thanks to the per- formers for their services.

These were opened and debated upon. As the result of the recent open meeting several new members have joined the lodge.

ACCIDENT TO A BARRY-BOUND STEAMER.-On Friday afternoon the large steamer York (formerly known as the City of Manchester), with a. registered tonnage of 2,112 tons, and a cargo tonnage of about 5,000, commanded by Captain Smish, entered Barry Dock with her propeller broken, having run ashore during the voyage. The York will enter the Barry Graving Dock for repairs. It appears that this fine steamer was re-fitted with new engines recently, and we understand that during the present voyage she met with mishaps several times, entailing an expenditure of fully £ 1,000 for repairs. CASUALTY.—A Lloyd's telegram states that the British ship Drumblair, from Port Pirie for Newcastle, Australia, in ballast, has stranded at that promontory. IRISH NATIONAL LEAGUE.—The members of the John Mandeville branch held the usual weekly meet- ing on Sunday last, Dr. O'Donnell (president) in the chair. "Mr. O. M'Cann proposed that the meetings be held fortnightly instead of weekly. As there were no Parliamentary or other important matters now on hand, the business of the branch could well be tran- sacted at fortnightly meetings. Mr. J. Keating seconded-Abe motion, which on being put to the meet- ing was carried unanimously. The next meeting tirill be held oc Sunday, 2nd October. THETWDD DISASTER.—Mr. T. M. Williams has forwarded -this week, on behalf of Salem Welsh Baptist Church, the sum of £1 2s. lOd. towards the fund for tbt, relief of the sufferers by the Tondu disaster.

The Baed of Hope continues to flourish, and great interest is take-in the newly-formed singing class. LOCAL SUCCESS.—We are pleased to record the the gratifying Success of Miss Olive Honey, daughter of the Rev. J. Honey, and pupil of the Oriel College, Sydenham. During the last term Miss Honey competed for, and gained from South Kensington, a second, with honours, for draw- ing, ditto for writing, and a certificate for fancy needlework, and another certificate for drawing. We have been privileged to see one of Miss Honey's examination drawings, the subject being a child with a kitten in its arms, and we feel bound to say Miss Honey shows talent of no mean order. The facial expression of the child is very natural, and the general work of the sketch very good. Miss Honey has a special taste for animal sketching, in a piece at present unfinished of a number of cats. She having succeeded in imparting to the animals most grimalkin-like looks. ACCIDENT.—Mr. J. Lowdon, the manager of the Barry Graving Dock, met with an accident on Wed- nesday by falling on the rails. Mr. Lqwdpn gusfetiijecj an injury on his side, which, it is hoped, is not serious. II.RY DOCK POLICE.-The Barry Dock con- stables yesterda.y received their new uniforms. NARROW ESCAPE.—On Thursday morning the lighthouse, at Barry Dock entrance narrowly escaped being crashed into by the ss. Mandalay. There was a heavy tide on, and the pilot in charge did not allow sufficiently for it, the result was that the course of the ship going at a good speed lay direct for the east light- tower, but the collision was avoided by the timely dropping of her anchor. CADOXTON. NARROW ESCAPE OF A DRIVER. — On Monday morning last, whilst one of Mr. T. Elliott's carts, loaded with boxes of mineral waters, was coming down the hill at the top of Vere-street, the belly-band of the harness broke in two, thereby depriving the horse of all power to hold back the cart, and the weight forced him down the hill at full speed, and when near the bottom of the lull both crashed into the shftp window of Mr. Taylor, butcher, completely smashing the upper part. Fortunately no one was hurt, though there were a good number of people in the street at the time, and the driver by some means managed to jump off before the crash occurred. BARRY AND CADOXTON DISTRICT FOOTBALL CLUB.—The above club held a practice match on their new ground on I Saturday last. The attendance of players, considering the important match played at Penarth was very good. There were a few new promising ■ playere, and it is to be hoped the Match Committee will all be present on Saturday next, in order to select a good team for the next Saturday's fixture. The trial match takes place at three p.m. BURIAL BOARD.—An ordinary monthly meeting of the Burial Board was held on Tuesday evening at1 the Board Room. Mr. John Robineon presided, and there were also present G. Bavies, Mr. Wm. Thomas (Barr^), Mr. Copp, Mr. Rees, Mr. Blackijiore, and the clerk (Mr. J. A. Hughes).

A good portion of the Bath stone was on the ground,and a considerable portion of it dressed.—Mr. W. Thomas (Sully), who had been asked to arbitrate on the claim of compensation to be paid Mr. John Jones for land, which the Board had taken adjoining the cemetery, suggested £ 5 as a fair sum and this it was decided to offer Mr. Jones.—Mr. Richard Thomas was allowed X12 for wages for the ensiling month.— Mr. H.

SALEM BAPTIST CHAPEL.—The annual treat of the scholars of the Salem Baptist Church took place on Wednesday.

The members of the committee under whose direction the arrangement* were carried out were Mr. E. Harris (chairman), Mr. T. King, Mr. W. E. Singer, Mr. T. Wadley and Mr. H. S. Wilkins. The hall was literally packed, and the ex- eellent programme drawn up by Mr. Harris was thoroughly enjoyed. The whole of the proceeds ,iilLi be devoted to the relief fund, all the expenses being defrayed privately. The singing of Mr. Hurcum was the most notable feature of the evening, and his song, ,'The Veteran," was loudly redemandcd, but the length of the programme would not admit of encores. Miss M. G. Taylor was a great success in The old folks at home with the banjo accompaniment; and Mr. Donnat's "Pretty Jane" was sung with very good taste, and deserved the burst of applause it re- ceived. Migs Bella Jones' singing gives us every reason to believe she will become very popular; and with a little practice in execution Mr. Cohen will become a really good violinist. Special praise is due to Mr. B. Isaacson, the able accompanist of the even- ing.

SOUTHERNDOWN, THE DUNRAVEN CRICKET CLUB played the last match of the season on their own grounds on Wednes- day last. The match was between the single and married members of the club. The former, after some spirited playing, were beaten by a good score. The game was watched throughout by a great number of visitors, who seemed to take a deal of interest in the contest. In the evening the members of the club and several visitors met at the Dunraven Hotel to partake of an excellent spread provided by Host Jenkins for the occasion. After dinner the genial captain was voted to the chair, when several toasts were proposed and drunk with great enthusiasm. The indefatigable captain, who has done so much towards the success of the club, intimated that their noble president, Lord Dunraven, wag desirous that the club in future should adopt the colours of the celebrated yacht Kalkyrie in their matches. After a good deal of conviviality the good-humoured host, Mr. Jenkins, to wind up the meeting, danced the Highiand Fling, to the great amusement of the party. After singing God Save the Queen the members and visitors dispersed, having thoroughly enjoyed the eventful day. LLANTWIT-MAJOR. F \.TAL ACCIDENT.—On Wednesday, the 15th inst., an old man, named William George, was struck down by a horse which John Evans, in the employ of Mr. John Thomas, Toll House, Boverton. The old man was taken home and put to bed, but refused to see a doctor. On Thursday morning Mr. Keats, a neighbour, saw the old man was sinking, and sent for Dr. Batten, but he gradually sank, and died the same night. An inquest was held on Saturday, when a verdict of Accidental death was returned, the jury adding a rider that the man be cautioned as to furious driving. The Coroner, Mr. Reece, said he would call the atten- tion of the Superintendent of Police to the practice of driving horses not under proper control. ON Sunday last the employes of the Theatre Royal and the Grand, Cardiff, had their annual outing. They drove to Llantwit in brakes, and were enter- tained at the Swan Inn. After dinner a presentation took place, Mr. E. Fletcher, junr., baing the recipient of a beautiful dressing case and a scarf pin. Mr. Fletcher suitably acknowledged the gifts, and the com- pany left for the sea shore, where sports were indulged in. After partaking of tea at the Swan the party left for home about eight p.m.
TREVECCA COLLEGE JUBILEE.
TREVECCA COLLEGE JUBILEE. A large number of Calvinistic Methodists have this week had an opportunity of visiting a spot sacred by associations connected not only with the rise of their own body, but with what, from a national point of view, is more important, the religious revival in the latter part of last century. It is a rather curious coincidence that the present year, which has seen the publication of the first standard life of Howell Harris, should be both the j ubilee, of the establishment of the College on its present oasis, and the centenary of the removal to Cheshunt of the institution founded by Lady Huntingdon for the education of candidates for the ministry. No doubt the pilgrimages which have this week been made to Trevecca, and the amount of journalistic and other literature evoked by the jubilee, will enlighten many a Methodist in the history and antiquities of the Hen Gorff." On the spot where now stands the Calvinistic Methodist Theological College, Howell Harris was born in 1714, and it was here that the community known as the 11 Tre- vecca Family lived with the master. It would appear that the curious architecture of the College is due to the peacemeal additions made to the origi- nal edifice, as room was wanted for new comers. Under the same roof dwelt printers, weavers, tailors, and all manner of tradesmen living in com- mon, like brethren in a monastery, and devoting, on entering, all their earthly goods to the common fund. Lady Huntingdon rented from Howell Harris, five years before his death, the farm known as the College Farm, and here planted a young ministers' seminary. In 179?, shortly after the death of Lady Huntingdon, the College was re- moved to Cheshunt, and thus the Calvinistic Methodists were deprived of the only educational institution they possessed. Practically nothing was done for 50 years to fill this void in the organisa- tion of the Connexion. In 1837 the Rev. Lewis Edwards, father of Principal T. C. Edwards, opened in conjunction with the Rev. David Charles, B.A., a college at Bala. Though provision had now been made for North Wales, the southern portion of the Principality was still without an educational insti- tution for its ministers and, therefore, the Association resolved to buy the Trevecca House from the surviving descendants of the original community. The sum of nearly A7,000 was col- lected as an endowment fund, and Mr. Charles came from Bala to take charge of the sister College at Trevecca. He was accompanied ty a few of the Bala students, the first of them being the veteran Rev. George Williams, of Llys Bran, who is the Alpha in the list of students. During the half century which has elapsed there have been but few changes. Dr. Charles was suc- ceeded by Dr. Harris Jones, M.A., of Glasgow, and Ph.D. of Gottingen, and the Rev. William Howells. On the death of Dr. Jones, in 1885, the Rev. Edwin Williams. Ml., was elected Professor, and when Professor Howells was called from his labour to his reward no long time after, the Rev. David Charles Davies. one of the keenest thinkers Wales ever knew, volunteered to under- take the Principalship. In 1889 the Rev. Owen Prys, B.A., who had graduated first in his year in the moral science tripos in Cambridge, and had since that been lecturer at Owen's College, Man- chester, and pupil of some of the moat eminent of German divines, was unanimously elected third tutor. Last year on the death of Principal Davies he was appointed head of the College, and the vacancy thus made in the staff was filled by the election of Mr. J. Young Evans last January. There are not a few antiquities at Trevecca. The library contains the books of Howell Harris and Williams, Pantycelyn. Moreover, the pulpit and rifles of the former are still exhibited, as well as piles of his letters. These latter are said to be. for the most part, illegible, not only on account of the -writing, but also on account of a kind of shorthand employed by the writer. With regard to the library, it. may be added that it has recently received a valuable addition in the volumes of the Rev. Edward Matthews, Canton, and by the bequest of a minister who died last Monday—the Rev. Thomas John Evans, of Aberayron. It will shortly gain an acquisition of which any library might be justly proud.

CORRESPONDENCE.
CORRESPONDENCE. THE WELSH CHURCH AT CADOXTON, BARRY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SOUTH WALES STAR SIR,—A good deal of fuss and bluster has been made out of the above question by a few zealous laymen during the past two weeks. A letter was written in the first place to the Editor of the Western Mail on the subject, with the hope that it would catch the eye of the Bishop of Llandpff, and be referred by him to the powers that be not on earth only, but in other regions as well. What a roundabout proceedings I remember hearing of an old farmer speaking once, of a thanksgiving service in the Church of England, and he said They do take parsnips and carrots and cabbages there now to praise the Lord, and after the service is over they do put it in the papers, to let the Lord know that they have had such a service." This putting in the paper business instead of going straight to the fountain head is just the thing that these few zealous laymen" from Cadoxton have been doing also. Verily they shall have their rewards," viz.. the praise of men. Nay, is it right, is it fair, for these few zealous laymen" to take all the credit to them- selves for starting this movement, as they call it Not a word is mentioned of the young zealous curate, the Rev. Gomer Price, who worked so hard to make the movement" a success. These few zealous laymen have done it all. And yet they eulogised Mr. Price in his address at the time of his departure for the splendid services he had ren- dered to the Welsh Church movement during his sojourn here. How is this, ye few zealous weathercocks-how have ye turned your heads so completely around and forgotten the direction ye used to look for help to carry on the work ? Then Rector Morris was your greatest foe, according to your own assertions. Now "every possible assis- tance has been rendered to the movement by the rector." Oh, the inconsistency of some zealous laymea Oh, the pity of it that men's memories are so short! But we will pass by these few zealous laymen who have done so much to make known their labours in the good cause. I rejoice to find that there are some prospects of having Welsh services regularly in the Church of England in the Cadoxton district for us poor benighted Welshmen. I must, however, utter my protest against the authorities who did not appoint a bilingual curate to this Welsh parish instead of the one-winged creatures we have at present in our midst. Apologising for troubling you anent this matter,—I åm. yours truly. Cadoxton. ANTIQUATED CHURCHMAN. + THE REV. L. TON EVANS AND THE LICENSING QUESTION. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SOUTH WALES STAR. SIR,-In your contemporary of last week it was stated as my belief that there should be a public- house to every thousand of the inhabitants. I wish to say that such a statement is altogether without foundation, as I have never given expres- sion to anything of the kind either in public or private. I shall be obliged for the insertion of this in next week's Star.-Yours, &c.. Sept. 20, 1892. L. TON EVANS. ♦ COTTAGE HOSPITAL AND NURSING ASSOCIATION COLLECTION.

SIR,—The Collection Committee desire to urge upon ail those who have collecting books in their possession to return the same to me at the address below not later than the 27th inst., or to a committee, which will sit at the Victoria Hotel next Saturday, from 4 to 7 p.m., and the following Tuesday, 7 to 9.
