Am y Diwygiad. YN ardal Aberaeron y bydd y diwygiwr, Mr. Evan Roberts, yn ystod yr wythnos ddyfodol. Da genym ddeall ei fod yn llawer gwell o ran iechyd yn awr nag yr oedd rhyw bythefnos yn ol. GAN fod cymaint o redeg i. Gymru er gweled effeithiau'r Diwygiad, priodol y cofnoda un gohebydd ei newyddion lleol fel hyn, "Er fod y dieithriaid wedi ein gadael, mae yr Ysbryd Glan yn cario ei waith ymlaen yr un fath." MAE ym mwriad y foneddiges haelfrydig, Arglwyddes Somerset, i dalu ymweliad a chyfar- fodydd Mr. Evan Roberts un o'r dyddiau nesaf yma. YN y Gogledd y mae nifer yr eglwysi mud ac oer yn lliosocach nag eglwysi cynes a byw. Yr oedd ychydig o'r olaf yn y wlad cyn y Diwygiad yn anffodus diflanu yr oeddynt, a'r marwor yn diffodd gydag ymadawiad yr hen saint. Dywed- odd gweinidog enwog fod yr Amen wedi trengu gyda'r Methodistiaid, a'i gladdu yn y set fawr. Bu cerddor hiraethlawn yn tramwy'r wlad dan ganu, Pa le mae'r Amen ? Yn awr, dywedir fod yr angel cysurlawn wedi dychwelyd gyda'r Diwygiad. Dyma air y tyst-Mrs. Rhys, Cwmgarw :— I. Amen, fu'n absenol o Seion yn hir, Sydd wedi dychwelyd yn groyw a chlir Mae Seion yn effro, mor fyw yw ei phlant, Ar ol bod yn isel fel myrtwydd mewn pant; Hen anwyl Amen fu'n hir o dan len, Daeth llanw'r Diwygiad yn ol a'r Amen. II. Mae'r Ysbryd yn gweithio, mawrygwn y fraint, Ar gariad yr Iesu yn gwledda mae'r saint; Addoli mae Seion, a'i mynwes ar dan, Amen fendigedig mewn gweddi a chan 0 nefol Amen, mae'n swynol dros ben, Yn ngherbyd yr achub dychwelodd Amen. III. Hen Gymru fynyddig, hen Gymru fach wen, 'Rwyt wedi cael eto o hyd i'r Amen Mae Puw yr ymweliad yn gariad i gyd, Ac arnat mae sylw holl wledydd y byd 0 cadw'th Amen, dy beraiddAmen, G diolch i'r nefoedd, dychwelodd Amen. Y MAE ochr fasnachol i'r Deffroad. Nis gellir ei atal rhag dylanwadu ar fywyd personol, teuluaidd, cymdeithasol, ac ymherodrol. Yn ei berthynas a'r fasnach feddwol y gwelir benaf yr effeithiau cymdeithasol ardderchog a gynyrchir ganddo. Erbyn hyn, cydnebydd pawb ei fod yn dyfod oddiwrth Dduw. Y mae yn ddiwygiad iach, glan, am ei fod yn gynyrch uniongyrchol yr Ysbryd Glan. A dylid agor y llygaid yn llydan ar y ffaith ei fod yn Ddirwestwr. Nid llymeitiwr dirgel na chymedrolwr mohono, eithr llwyrymwrthodwr. Cafodd Maer Caer- dydd beth newydd grai--deubar o fenyg gwyn- ion o fewn corph y ddeufis diweddaf, am nad oedd troseddwyr i'w barnu yn yr ynadlys. Cyn ei ddyfodiad i ddyffryn Maesteg, peth cyffredin oedd 600 o droseddwyr gerbron yr ynadon mewn hanner blwyddyn o amser ar ol i Ysbryd y Deffroad ymweled a'r fro a dechreu teyrnasu, rhyw wyth o bersonau a gymerwyd i'r frawdlys. Rhaid myned draw i Burton-on-Trent i gael golwg arall-gallu attaliol-y nerthoedd dwyfol. Yn y dref honno darllawir digon o gwrw i gyflenwi agos i hanner y deyrnas. Anfonir barilau y lie hwnnw i bob cwr o Gymru—nid wrth y canoedd yn wythnosol, eithr wrth y degau o filoedd. Er dyfodiad y Diwygiad i'r wlad, parlyswyd masnach yr adran Gymreig i'r fath raddau fel yr a llai o bedair tren y dydd allan o fuarth y darllawdai. Y mae hynny yn tybied dau gant o wageni, a phob gwagen yn cynwys oddeutu deg baril. Ac nid darllawdai Burton yn unig sydd yn dioddef, eithr pob darllawdy arall, ond odid, drwy Gymru a Lloegr. Y PETH pwysicaf a glywyd yng nghyfarfodydd y Diwygiad yn Lerpwl ydoedd gwaith un o'r blaenoriaid yn dirwyn i fyny ei brofiad crefyddol drwy adrodd y llinellau hyny o eiddo Ehedydd lal Yn nghymorth gras mi goda mhen, Mewn gobaith caf fi galon wen Bu calon lan, ar Galfari, Yn gwaedu dros fy nghalon i." Gresyn fod yr hyn a ysgrifenodd yr hen ffermwr o Dafarn-y-gath, Llandegla, mor anhawdd taro arno a chymwynas a chrefydd Cymru fyddai i rywun eu cynuil a'u cyhoeddi mewn ffurf radlon a hylaw. Efe fel y gwyddis, bia'r pennill hwnnw, adnabyddus yn y nefoedd ac ar y ddaear Er nad yw'm corph ond gwellt, A'm hesgyrn ddim ond clai; Mi ganaf yn y mellt— Maddeuodd Duw fy mai: Mae Craig yr oesoedd dan fy nhraed, A'r mellt yn diffodd yn y gwaed." PAN oedd Evan Roberts yn Treorci, daeth ei lettywraig ag album merch i un o weinidogion y dref ger ei fron a gofynodd iddo ar ei chais ysgrifenu ychydig eiriau ynddo. Gwnaf, meddai yn ei ddull dirodres ei hun, ac ymaflodd mewn ysgrifbin, ac ysgrifenodd a ganlyn mewn llaw eglur :— Cred yn Nghrist." Cred yn Ei addewidion." Yn mlaen at wirionedd." Yn mlaen at fywyd." Yn mlaen at Dduw." Yn mlaen drwy wawd Yn mlaen at Dduw." Yn mlaen o hyd, yn mlaen, yn mlaen.

OUR PATRON SAINT. Our patron saint, David, was born on the coast of St. Bride's Bay. The exact date of his' birth is not known. Tradition has it that he was about one hundred and forty years old at the time of his death, which event, according to the best authorities, took place on the first day of March, 601 A.D. The father of St. David was Sandde, or Sanctus, of the princely line of Ceredigion. His mother's name was Honnita. B and Baptism. Much legendary matter enshrouds the story of his life. An angel, thirty years previous, had predicted his birth to St. Patrick, who was jusC then leaving Wales for the land of the sham- rock. He was baptised by Elvi, Bishop of Munster, in a spring that spontaneously flowed for the occasion. A blind monk who held him' at the font received his sight. In those days all this was good token that David was destined for the Church. An Assiduous Pupil. He received his early training at a place called Henllwyn, or Old Bush, and proceeded later to Whitland for more serious study under one Paulinus, a disciple of the great Stir Germanus. Here Dewi spent ten years equip" ping himself for after-life, diligently applying' himself to the study of the Scriptures. While living with Paulinus he began to work miracles^- one of these being the restoration of the lost sight of his devoted master. The Valley of the Roses. After completing his education he journeyed' through Wales, preaching the Gospel and founding monasteries. The most notable of his institutions was the one situated in the Valley of the Roses, near the site of the present St. David's, over which he presided in person. This monastery was quite Egyptian in its rule. All its members were consecrated to manual- labour and spiritual praise. The early part of each day was spent in rural work. Like our fathers and grandfathers, the monks were adepts at hedging and ploughing. They made no use of oxen for ploughing, but every monk was an' ox to himself. The remainder of the day was passed in the study in reading, writing, or praying. At the sound of the evening bell they promptly proceeded-even if on half-writing a letter-to the church to sing psalms, continuing the service until the appearance of the stars on the sky closed the finished day. Supper was then sparingly partaken of, followed by another service of three hours in watchings, prayers, and genuflections. This was apparently a somewhat trying ordeal, as no one dared yawn, sneeze, or even cough during the whole of the time. Fortunately, the night's repose until cock-crowing followed, when the performance of matins formed the usual pro- logue to the ordinary manual duties. Our titular saint was an exemplar in all this. Black Wales. By the establishment of communities of the above type, St. David and his fellow saints endeavoured to reform the Wales of their time. The wickedness of the age is graphically pictured in the dark writings of the monk Gildas. It was the age of the tyrant king and of the false judge the age of the foolish priest and of the shameless minister. The salvation of Wales lay in the restoration of a pure and well-organised Church. "Evan Roberts." St. David was the pioneer of this revival. The division of Wales into bishoprics dates from his day. He himself was the founder of the diocese of St. David's. At the Synod of Llanddewi Brefi, where the ground is said to have raised under his feet as he spoke, David proved himself a most formidable antagonist of heresy, and later, at the Synod of Victory, held at Caerleon, he successfully cop2d with the dire hypocrisy of the native priests. As the apostle of reform, his g eatest sermon was the example of his own life. He practised what he preached

once they set it up. There was only one sound thing for the State to do—to make citizens and not little sectarians. Why were they fight- ing for this ? After all, the battle ground Might be in Barry. The Board of Education were selecting Barry. Why ? There was a great attempt, undoubtedly, to force a split between two sections of the Pro- gressive party, to the ruin of both. They were encouraging the Labour people by telling them how broad and high-minded they were, and how much above these little Nonconformists. Why ? Because they knew what the result would be. It was all grist to their mill to force a wedge between the two sections of the Progressive party. Then the seat would be lost, and they would have five years of Tory representation in South Glamorgan. They should not play that rather transparent game. Let them fight for this great principle without regard for religious creed or faith; for equality of treatment with regard to all public institutions—educational or otherwise. The standard bearers in Barry would not be alone in the fight. They would have the whole of the Progressive forces in Wales and the United Kingdom behind them. Only that day he saw some terrified at the notion that they would have to fight the Government, maybe, for two years. Why, the idea of any man with any principle being frightened at this Government! There should be no shirking in the hour of battle when fighting for the same principles on which their forefathers had fought and won centuries ago.
