OR, THE WAY TRJI WIND BLOWS De ymnibu* rebvs ei qynbutdcm filM. AUTTTMK MAN(EUVRES. WE believe that autumn manoeuvres" at Aldershot, in the original sense of the word- that is the trials of skill between two opposing generals and armies-are definitely abandoned. The small area of ground avail- able, every inch of which is known to every officer engaged the wild nature of the evolu- tioas and tactics occasionally practised; the impossibility of providing umpires whose decisions were respected-all combined to give them an air of hopeless unreality and as, moreover, the expense was heavy, it has been decided that the war game was not worth the candle. In future we shall pro- I bably be content with the more unpretentious summer drills." THE CZAR'S NEW YACHT. JUDGING by all accounts the Czar's new yacht, the Livadia, which was recently launched on the Clyde, is certainly the most extraordinary specimen of naval architecture uttoat^f uppoenjg the term U naval" to be appiopriate. Her general appearance is some- thing like a gigantic tea tray, supported by three enormous rolls. Her interior fittings appear to be of a nature to correspond with her appearance; for we read of marble pave- ments, epla shit g fountains, and a good deal more of vrbat a sailor would irreverently term long shore rubbish." Iu fact, she seems to have been designed more as a seaside residence than a yacht, as we understand the term, and poesibly the Czar may intend to use her more m the former capacity than the latter. A floating palace would afford a sense of security which certain recent experience in Palaces on dry land would render doubly enjoyable, and as the experiment will cost about as much as an ordinary palace we hops it may be successful IRIC "BLTJB" AT NEWPORT. THE" blue" has again come to the front at Newport, but althoagh it is in favour with the bibulous citizens, the magistrates will have none of it. There seems to be a good deal of hair-splitting about this measure by which tor » retard. No One pwtends tWt the public is defrauded ui any wav Hnw the blue" to I. mystery. It must have been originated i by an enterprising maker. Whv it called a blue/' except that it is eoloared blue i 'J?, its dimen- sions detormined ? Why should there be a measure intermediate to a half.pint and j int ? Those are questions which no one stimc, to ontwer. We isuapfct they are ea u.e«»psbif' at being su-twered as many other (fiifStiot« p(rrt;uil' to he liquor traffic Who u'ii t S I!ts r.f sherry shiil he M in h:sp aad id iu anjt::?r ? ho know it whit ft i Ii. sherry i-P^W-iat cuuip-wuiit jpbit oi a p a gi&>a ,J »if iif a the piics varied wc-n there is TIO p:oereGC3 fo" eaj ijr g t- «t u-u'e ti»in the »v^»a^'» q id f1 For ttiese rea*on» wa blue "nightbavo been lett. wt,6"1i Ü.

Why not follow in this matter the example stt by the French, who erect such fountain? at their railway stations ? An "Ecelish Tuveiler in France," writing to a contemporary, says People, as a rule, do 1:0t get drutik on their railway journeys tut whac a comiort to the thirsty, and, above a 1, to the poor traveller, is the fountain or delicious water to be ioond at topping stations en French lines 1 You Ste here alike first and third class passer-gers alighting to fill their carafe-a striking contrast to the condition of things in Bcgland, where at some important stations-— Hastings, for instance-a glass of water is Lot to be liad for love or mosey." How many travellers in fcoath Wales will readily endorse this latter remark as applying to the stations with v. kich they are familiar Coffee and tea, it may be retorted, can be procured at mcst stopping points of importance; but at prices which in the case of many persons may fairly be de- scribed as prohibitory. Again, there are not a few jnaivldaals who woaid frequently prefer a Jas øf cold water at this season of the j ear, boch to the cup which cheers but oof s noc inebriate and to tke cup which does both. Purely, it ia not too much to ask cur great railway companies so tar to consult tiie requirements of the travelling public as to eiect ten and there— at the principal stations at any rte-a number of drinking fountains. The boon would be much appreciated by the temperate, while, as tending to diminish in- temperance, it would conduce to the more orderly and easy working of the lines. A NEW CHURCH FOR. BBYNAMMAN. THE incorporated Church Bailding Society has made a errant ot towards the erection of a church at Brvn>-iaman,andia the current ieene of the Church Jiuillcr attoiitua is called to the necessity QI the provision, and to the inability of the population to render any material aid, owing to the present depression ot the local stone trade. 1 he case is one of peculiar interest, as it was in Urynamman that a Nonconformist minister and abont two hundred of his congregation recently re- nounced their allegiance to Dissent and joined I tl e Church of their forefathers. This the Church Builder observes was aneTent unheard I ot in the aiatory oi the Church of Wales, and it ie looked upon as a good omen of the future of the Principality. The minister referred to was ordained deacon, and licensed to the curacy of the hamlet, where he is now doing gcod work. Service is held in a school room, which was opened for public worship by the viosr of the parish about two years ago. The com- municants, who at first numbered only 12, at present amount to about 200, with an average congregation of 250, and the existing accommodation is found to be thoroughly inadequate. It is, therefore, considered desirable that a church should be built with- out delay, and a committee has been formed to endeavour to carry out the work and to collect subscriptions. In the interests of the Establishment it is to be hoped that the efforts of the committee will be crowned with success. The late converts from Dissent are among the 200 communicants, and unless they are provided with a suitable place in which to unite in public worship they may ultimately be discouraged in the course which they have been led to adopt. At the same time other discontented Nonconformists may be influenced by the treatment which they receive and it is just possible that this may be made the beginning of a long series of secessions to the mother Church. If Churchmon are alive to the interests of the common cause, they will spare no effort to take advantage of the occasion, and the least they can do is to contribute their mite towards the much- needed sanctuary. We trust funds will be forthcoming, and that an edifice will be reared which will be a credit to the place, and a worthy memorial to the occurrence which first mate its erection an absolute necessity.
I TBE l W ANSEA HARBOUR TRUT.…
TBE l W ANSEA HARBOUR TRUT. I This body held ita monthly meeting on Monday. Dturirg the sitting attention was drawn to the fact that tie Bill promoted by the Trustees in the present seaeion had received the Royal Assent, and that by it the Earl of Jersey became a life member of their body. The Mayor of Swansea (Alderman Joskins) subsequently proposed, and Mr J. R, iranojs seconded, a resolution to tha effect that his be now elected a member cf the Executive Committee. This was carried nnanimoasly. We may, thsrefore. hope to see Lord Jersey frequently present at the meetings of the Trust in the future. As the owner of large estates cn the east side of the river, where the new dock is situated, the growth of the town in that direotion must be a matter of personal solicitude to him. The people of Swansea rejoice at the change, for they regard it as both a token of increasing personal interest on his lordship's part in the prosperity of the port, and an acknow- ledgment of its growing importance.
NOTES IN THE NEWPORT TOWN…
NOTES IN THE NEWPORT TOWN COUNCIL. Whatever geed abilities he msy possess as a mestber of tha corporation, Aldermaa Murphy does not ebine as chairman of a meeting. Every now and then he seemed hopelessly lost in a muddle, and wasted a good deal of time by not keeping the meeting to the matter in hand. Tha first important question which cropped np was 08 reading the publio works report. A snm of .£327 19a 3d is due for private improvements in Paik square, and the committee recommended that Menre. E. F. Woellett and C. Lewis, trustees fo: the leaseholders, be called upon to pay the emoont. In other words, that proceed, ings bo taken against them. This recom- mendation is possibly legal, but it can- not be called equitable. The facts are peculiar. In the centre of Park square is a shrubbery, railed in, and at the top of it stands the menrment to Sir Charles Morgan, Bart., grandfather cf the present Lord Tredegar. This shrubbery was intended as an ornament to the square, ted to constitute it a healthy place. Houses are built all round the shrubbery, and it was inter ded that thoee who liva in them should enjoy the benefit of the shrubbery as a place for their chiLc/en to walk ia. Mr E. F. Woollett and Mr C. Lewis were made trustees for the lassees. It became ceceteary that the square should be improved, by prcper paths and roads being made. This was done about two yeara ago, at the cost above named. Now it u sought to make the trustees pay, leaving: them to gat the money as they can from the other lessees. An alterna- tive has been suggested, that the town should bear the outlay, and thus preserve this monument and open space. Otherwise the trustees will lay the burden upon the Tredegar Estate, and then the shrubbery "ill be built on. Well, that is a matter which primarily corcsraa the lessees in tha square. But surely there is a way out of the j difficulty. Lctd Tredegar might bear half the cost and the toltn the other half, and then the square would be left intact. No one would like to see Sir Charles's monument moved from pillar to pott. Compromise is the crder of the day in many things, and we thick the above arrangement would be credit- able to all parties alike, A report by the cemetery committee dealt with the irres-ch.Tiy.ag complained of a few months ago. The hxa been censured and has promised amendmc-nt. otracge that no mention is made in the of tha two graves laid to have been dug for one body. That was made a great point or.

A deputation from the pubUo meeting J teld cn tlocitiiiy ni^ht tJ procara taa e»t*HiUh- aett of & pss-ecger station in or near Wind waited upon the corporation Toe Mayor ;otciiied that the petition should be fallj c<.>i.rid*rcd at the cext meeting of the Cianoil the rt con m fixation a of the Property and General Purposes Committee, to the effect that is ('0 be paid to the Duke of Beaufort for the IIlherala under the Town hiU Estate, gave rise to eotne diocuecicn. In order to elicit information II- BnrLie moved that this part of the report be ot received. It transpired that his Grace has power under an Act of Parliament to work the minerals under certain lands without being liable to pay any compensation tc the owners of the Burfaoe for any injury that may sustain through his operations. As there are extensive quarries under tke Town-hill Estate, tre exercise of this power had been vary detrimental t.) the property of the Cciporaticn. The esuta contained about 509 scree, and if they were able to lei the whole of it it would probably bring ia a rent of .£29,000 a jear. The mirerals, also, would beoome valuable in time. Mr Burnie ultimately withdrew his amendment. Mr Daniel Jonas then moved that the recomnidation to expend JE400 upon the office cf the borough treasurer be not adopted. There was a geIlera.1 feeing that while such a scheme as that of Mr Glascodfne for the erection of a row Town*hall was under consideration the expenditure of any money upon the present buildirg would be unjustifiable. The amendment was carried by ten to seven. This seems to show that the new plan will receive, at any rate, a fair and impartial investigation. The Watsr and Severs and New Waterworks Committee recommended that the Local Government Beard be requested to hold an inquiry as to whether the Tawe be a stream withia the meaning of the Rivera' Pollution Act. The motiv* cf thia propoeal was that the Dake of Beaufort, who owns the bed of the river, had warned the Corporation not to diaoharge any sewage from the new works for the drainage of Morriston into it. As about .£50,000 has been already Bpent, and no alternative outlet comld be obtained under about £ 60,000, the corporation felt them- selves in a rather peculiar predicament. Dr Bcgers nCTd that no communication be made to the Local Government Board, and it was agreed that this part of their report be referred back to the oommittee. It was hoped that by private amicable discussion a compromise Ray be even yet come to. Tha Artisans' Dwellings Committee had to report that, owing to the rale of the Corporation that the ground rent must be paid in advance for their property, the Coffee Publio-house Com- pany had withdrawn from their application for if-sd between Llangyfelach street and Carmarthen toad. Muoh regret waa expreaaed at this, as it was thought that the erection of a coffee tavern there ,o";t:d have given an impulse to building in that district.
CARDIFF.
CARDIFF. BOARD OF GUARDIANS.—The weekly meeting of the board of guardians was held on Saturday, Mr C. W. David in the chair. Mr Bircham, Poor-law inspector, was in attendance, and said the increase in the number of sick children was a matter that had required their attention for some time, and he, therefore, ventured to lay before them some plans of hospitals which had met with the approval of the Local Government Board for establishment in other places. He hoped that it would not be long before they were erected. He also hoped that they would see their way to the adoption of the suggestion whioh he made some time ago, viz., of teaching all healthy boys to swim, an acquirement that was very important in a town like this. If they had a good swimming bath and the necessary acoommodation for sick children, he thought their arrangements would be perfect. He was not at all desirous of increasing the expenditure of the board, but he looked upon these mattera aa requiring their attention. The master of the workhonse reported 37 admis- sions during the aek, 22 discharges, one birth, and four deaths, leaving 369 persons in the house, a comparative decrease of 15. Tbt vagranta relieved numbered 44, as against 62 during the corresponding period of the year prior. The superintendent of the Ely 3chools reported no admissions, one diaoharge, and the same number of inmates in the house as during the corre- Bpondicg week last year, viz., 210. Mr Forreat, referring to the work of the relief committee, over which he presided, gave the detaila of three cases of imposition which had come before him that morning. The applicants, on being ques- tioned, had been found to be making mis-state- I ments as to their oircumaChnoes, and it waa not, therefore, desirable to relieve them. On the reoommei.dation of the veetry of Pentyroh, Anthony Williams was appelated collectar of rates fcr that dktiict, in the place of William Thomas, at a salary of .£52 a year. The tender of Mr Burton for the building of the new laundry for the workhouse was accepted. This was all the business. DANIEL CWEN AND OUTING.—On Satur- da, the (ffiews and workpeople connected with Daniel Often and Co.'s printing and lithographio works, St. Mary street, had their annual outing. The place chosen was the Cwmbran Gardens, where the party, numbering 120, were conveyed in breaks, headed by a band. Arriving at the gardens various sports were indulged in until dinner time. Dinner was aervei in oapital style by Mr Richard Clarke, the proprietor of the gardens. The chair was taken by Mr Thomaa, the manager. In the evening dancing was indulged in, and the company returned to Cardiff shortly after 11. We understand that the boys and girls in the employ of the Arm were given a separate treat by themselves. SPECIAL 8EBMONS BY SIGNOR GAVAZZI. — Signor Gavazzi, who has been engaged in the wcrk of Italian Evangelisation, delivered special sermons, touching upon that subject, at the Presbyterian Church on Sunday morning, at Tredegarville Baptist Chapel in the afternoon, and at Charles street Congregational Chapel in the evening. The reputation of the preacher had the effect of attracting large congregations. TKKDEGARVILLH BAPTIST CHAPSL.—On Sun- day special services were held at the Tredegarville Baptist Chapel, to celebrate the opening of the new lecture hall and class rooms. In the morning the Hev. J, Cynddylaa Jones preached, ia the afternoon the pulpit was occupied by Signer Gav&zz;, and ia the evtain? the itev A. Tilly deli veied an a.t propriate ci3couree. On each ocaasion there was a good attendance, and a collection was c ade, that in the afternoon being in aid of the Free Church of Italy. The new premises have been erected by Mr R. Roberta, contractor, Roath, the cjet, exclusive cf the furnishing, amounting to JB 70. The lecture hall will accom- modate about 200 persons, and the claaa rooms are well adapted to the purposes for which they have been btnlt. BBOAEWAY WKSLSYABT CHAPEL — The anni- versaiy of the Sunday School in connection with the above place of worship was celebrated on Sunday, when sermous were preached morning and evening by the Bav W. Verooe, formerly of Cardiff, and an address delivered in the afternoon by the Rev A. D. Cope, of Bridgend. Special hymns were sung, and at each service the at- tendance was numerous. ACCIDENT AT THB HAYES.—On Saturday night at about 11 o'clock. a man named David Morgan, 53, Adam street, slipped down on the Hayea Bridge and broke his leg. Assistance was promptly rendered by the police, and at the direotion of Inspector Lewis he was conveyed to the Infirmary, where he now remains. ALEXANDRA PARE SPOBTS.—The sports at these grounds on Saturday afternoon were, aa far 8S a good programme went, a success, bat the attendance of the publio was extremely limited. The weather was all that oculd be desired, although there was a stifI wind blowing across the ground, which tried the less muscular bioyolists coesiderably. The judge was Mr D. Lewis, Market Hotel, and Joe Wall acted as starter, The first event on the programme was a one < £ ile (opes) amateur bicycle handicap, whioh was rcn in testa. The final heat was contested by Percy William?, Penarth i J, Dunbar, Cardiff; Slcggett, Cardiff; Frank, Cardiff; and J. B. Thomas, Swansea. The race evoked no enthu- I siasm, the winner, Percy Williams, having it all his own way, and winning as he liked, bands down. Sloggett came in a bad second, and the rest were nowhere: The I ccxt event was a 120 yards amateurs' foot handicap, which was run in four heats, the first f 7C each heat to run in the final. The entries for i this race were numerous, and the running was, in j seme cases, fairly good. In the final run off the ecLtetb lay between Barry and Stothert, and the former, with a start of eight yards, seemed likely to win, but was overhauled on the finish by Stothed. who ran strongly land oreditably. The >; rogramme conoladed with a three miles amateur c iojcle handicap for novioes, and resulted in a vin for Shepherd, Cardiff with Frank and W. À. Williams second and third respectively. SAVED FROM DBOWNING.—Two boys, named i William Crene and JohnBodell, were playing on ) the floating timber in the oanal near Hodge's Dock cn Monday morning, when the timber arched over and both were thrown into tee water. A man named Charles Denning, who was near at hand .and law the accident, jumped in and succeeded after some difficulty in rescuing the lads, and brought them aahore in the pretence of a number of people who were passing at the time. Denning has been the means of saving four other lives IIimilar oircum- Btances. S RACE.—The second old bird race of the ■ Homing Pigeon Society took plaoe from Cbeatexfield on Tuesday last, July 6, the distanoe being 140 miles in a straight line. The prizes were won as follow :-lBt, Mr Charles Edwards, "Just in Time;' 2nd, Mr M. Smith. "The S Liberator; 3rd, Mr O. Adams, "Little Willie;" 4tfa, Mr C. Gibbs, "Roeewing." Mr Charles Edwards had two more birds home the same day, and the remainder homed the following day with few exceptions.

The oaee was dismiaaed.—Thomaa Davies, land- lord of the Nag's Head, was summoned for allow. ing his house to be open for the sale of liquors on Sunday at 7.40 am. Police oonstable King said he entered the house, and there saw two men iu the bar. They were in Mary Ann street a quarter of an hour before. This was corroborated by Police constable W. Jones. Fined 20s and costs, Mr Wheatley, town clerk, oonduoted the oases for the prosecution. A BOARDING-HOUSE Keeper FINED .£10.- Christopher Percoco, 24, Bute street, an Italian boarding-house keeper, was oharged with Belting beer without a licenoe, and with having a quantity of beer on his premises for the purpose of sale, Mr Wheatley, town clerk, prosecuted, and Mr Downing defended. Police oonstable Richard Allen Bald he was on duty in Bute street on the 11th of July. At three o'clock he went on to the toof of the house with Police constable Davies. He looked through a skylight. and saw a number of proBtitutes and others there. They were making a great noise. He got down from the roof and went into the bouse with Police oonstable Davies. Eighteen prostitutes and 23 man were in a.large room. They were all drinking. There were four bottles containing ale on the table, and 24 tumblers. He called in Inspector Tamblyn. Inspector Tamblyn stated that he saw the defen. dant's wife there. On a bench he found three glasses of ale, and underneath sevoral bottles partly full. On removing a flooring board he fonnd 78 pint bottles of ale. There was no mark on the bottles; it was not now the custom for beer sellers to send labelled bottles to these houses. He eaw the defendant go out at the baok door. Mr Downing submitted that the defendant was from home on the day in question, that he was at Newport, and his housekeeper bought the ale and gave an entertainment to the people who were found to be present. Amelia Davies, the defen- dant's housekeeper, and who was reputed to be his wife, said all the women present were her friends. The men were boarders. As it was her birthday she gave them a treat.

Airdi'OM'fl Prt« b>ttr:iii> Chapel, on Tuesday eveniag, by tÍla l, v. T C. i.dwardf, M.A., Principal of Abtryat* w u å Coiitge.

He believed that Sunday Schools were the one great seenrity of hotet-tautitim. Sunday Sohool teachers wero the great men of the future, and all miniaters of the future would oome through the Sanday Sohool* MORNING CONFERENCE, A united conference took place &t the Music- ball on Tiednesday morning. Mr S.B.Power presided, the attendance was moderately gcod. On the platform were tho Revs. J. G. UaudIett and James Owen. in addition to the varicus readers and epeakera; Dr. Prkhulit, Chico and Mr libeneztr Davies, president of the bwfonsea Sunday School Union, After the frying of a hymn, the Rev. S. Higman, Congre- gational Minister, offered up a suitable prayer. Ite subject for discussion waa "Saaoosa tl d Fuiiuie in Sunday Sohool W^.rk." The Chairman opened the proceedings by referring to the good work done by Sunday Schools. He pitid much had been stated for and against Sunday SchovJs, jet, wi h all their faults, he was per- euaced to ask What would they have done without them ?" He oonoluded hi9 remarks by aeking the assembly to rise and sing Praise God from whom all bleesinga flow." The Ckairman then gave a hearty welcome to those who had come to take part in the celebration of the Sunday School Centenary at Swansea. First, he would welcome Dr. Parkhurst, from Chicago. They expected to eee Mr. Wilder, but the Almighty had been pleased to lay him on a bed of affliction. Other gentlemen from a distance who were to take part had not then arrived, but he oould not do more than repeat what he had already said. Be would give them all a hearty welcome. The Vicar of Swansea, the Rev. S. C. MORGAN, M.A., then read a paper on the Bubjeot of Success and Failure in Sunday Sohool Teach- ing." The rev. gentleman treated his subjeot in a very able and exhaustive manner, dealing in the course ef his address with almost every phase of Sunday School work. Mr TREVOR C. EDWABDS followed on the same subject with a well-written paper, whioh embodied a careful and matured digest of the various duties of Sunday School teachers in order to ensure that snocess in their work which, in many oases, waa lamentably wanting. The Rev GEORGE HAWKER, Neath, afterwards spoke, and referred to the teaohers of.a Sunday Sohool as being in many oases unable to grapple with subjects they had to teaoh for want of sufficient knowledge. Clearness, he oonsidered, was more essential in teaching ohildren than it was in teaching grown up people. He urged that every teaoher should be (dear, and not make the subject entangled, or else he would beoome metaphysical and useless. Another point, he said, was, if the teaoher was to attain suooess. he should feel himself what he said to the ohildren. Without this the importance of the Bubjeot could not be instilled into the mind. The object of the teaching was to make the subject felt, and make the children impressed by what was said by the teaoher. No teaoher should be ignorant of ohild nature, and sympathy ought to be oultivated. The teacher should study the ways of his ohildren as they had been taught at home as well as at scheol. Sunday School teachers should not think of degrading themselves by mixing up with the children. The Rev. S. HIGMAN said he had looked baok for 100 years and he could find nowhere that there had been failure in Sunday School teaohing. It had been a grand and glorious suooess all through. He oould not speak of the failings in Sunday School work, for he knew well as a Sunday Sohool teacher his own failings. The objeot of Sunday School teaohera should be similar to that of Mr Raikes, who said he would ever go about as his Saviour did doing good. All the ohildten should be trained up in the way they should gOJ and then tbey would not depart from it. The Bev Mr CLARKE, A deputation from the Sunday Union, was of the same opinion as the speaker, that there should be no failures in Sunday School teaching. The Sunday Schools had been a mighty Bucoess. He was glad to know that the first objeots of the papers read were the conversion of children. To carry out this the teaoher must be ever oonstant in his work, seeking grace from God. The ohildren should be trained against the great drinking influences of the present day, they should also be trained in their reading. The conference then terminated with singing, and a short prayer by the vicar. AFTERNOON MEETING. In the afternoon a publio meeting was held in the Music Hall, at which the Mayor (Mr J. Jones Jerkins) presided, and there was a fair atten- dance. The hymn, To Thee, Almighty Father," having been sung, and prayer offered by the vioar of Swansea (the Rev. S. C. Morgan, M.A,), The MAYOR proceeded to address the assembly. fiisWorship said it was a great pleasure, and he was sure it was also a privilege, to be present that after- noon to celebrate the Centenary of Sunday Schools. The number he saw before him was not a proper indication of the feelir-g exiating in tho town. A meeting at each an hour waa inoonvanient to moat petaens, aud they must bear in mind that Thursday was to be a general holiday. But thoge preliminary meetings would be productive of a very good effect, as the subjects soieoted for discussion vrere treated in a moat maaterly manner. It was also a sonroe of great gratification to attend those meetings when they found that the various denominations, with the Churoh at the head, had combined to take part in the movement. When they acted in peace and conocrd in that way, as he believed they ought to as professing Christians, it really made one's heart glad. They frequently had bickerings and disputes on small questions, and they loat sight of the great question on whioh they were all united. He had read many of the speeches delivered on the subjeot of the Centenary, and he noticed that some persons com- plained of all the oredit being given to Robert naikes. Whether all the credit waB due to him or not, the faot must be admitted that he really started the movement, and gave it that impetus whioh led people to the conviotion that they ought to do somMK to further the work he took 80 earnestly and aeriouBly in hand. On locking over the list that was issued at the meeting in London of theearly founders ef Sunday Schools, he found that the first was Borromeo, who was reported to have started a t-unday Sohool in 1580, and the last waa Robert Raikes, who started a Sunday School in Gloucester in 1780. U ctii the present oelebration, he was always under the impression that they in Wales were indebted to Charles of Bala; but this probably arose from his not having gone thoroughly into the subject. Had he taken the trouble to read the History of Nonconformity in Wales," by Dr Reea, hia mind would have been disabused of that impression. Dr Bees stated that in 1817 there were only two ohapel in Swansea, the one belonging to the Indepecajnty and the other to the anti-pedo Baptiata. reason he referred to this was that the mnmter OL the anti-pedo Baptist Chapol waB one Morgan John, and a person named Moitfan John was known to have lived in Morriston in 1820, and to have been the author of a pamphlet on the usefulness of bunday Schools. He did not know whether thie Morgan John was the minister of tae anti. pedo Baptist Chapel, but they had tho fact proved that in 1720 they had a Snnday Sohool is Wales, and that it was doing Its. work c £ fooiv&'ly, because that writer said \ie to read at a Sunday Schoo; n Cwia- donhin. After referring to the effor.v? d Griffiths Jones, of Uanddowror, Ii) 1742, subsequently by Dr. E. Williams Kud CbwIeB of Bala, to establish Snnday Schools in WfJoa, he concluded by stating that they ooi-iair^y onld claim some credit for having origin^, ood work. THE BIBLE THE BOOK OF TJlB SUNDAY SCHOOL. The Rev T. WALTERS, D.D., Vicar d Llaafwrn- let. was then oalled upon &s the- eelr 'aed speaker on the subject of II T.Lo Bible, the Book of the Sunday Sohool." He said he was very glad that they were met on one common platform. (Applause.) Their great objeot was not to display any numc'^al majority they were not there to make any F1;¡:.1 declara- tion of faith, but they were met O r-stian men and women to show their approve v scow their ympatby with the present and Lopo the future; (Applause ) After allud g to cf Griffith Jones and Charles of iial* OJ, the establishment of bunday Schools, H,) getvile- man said they really could not W',O was the first founder and as far aa he waoerned he did not know it muoh matwre^.

Therefore, the Bibla waa the book for the pulpit, and for the eacae reason it ought to be the book for the teaoher in the Sunday Sc&osl. There was _no baok to suitable, or so efficient, fracu wfeich to teach little children, and it W8 not necessary that it should be puppleniented by any other, and yet complete, were the sbate- raents it con tained. lie Rt-v Dr. 1!tBB8 (BwsaeM=ia) alao on the earns tgbjpflt. The Bxble aad i-,3 Broie alone was, h paid, the book for the Sunday School; they had no need of any other book, aud if they rould thoroughly ground he children in the teaching it contained they wewld become Christian men and w;?men—law-abiding and respectable mem- bers of society. After remarking that the high standard of morality that prevailed among the Welsh wsa due to the influences brought to hear wpcn them in the Sunday School, the rev. gentleman proceeded to give a history of the Welsh Bible. In conclusion, he observed that there was not another country in the world in which, in proportion to the population, so many volumes cf Holy Writ had been circulated, and this was all owinff to the th'r^t for Divine know- ledge created by the Sunday Sohoola (Applauae.) TRB SUNDAY SCXOOL vromr OF THS PAST. Mr G-o GOULD (Bristol) was the first selected speaker on thia sabjoct. He said that Saadny School work bad produced, according to nnsqaivo- cal testimony reoeived on all hands, large results in providing ifer the prsaest and Welfare of the people of this realm. With to the establishment of Sunday Schools, undoubtedly Christian teaching waa imparted to the young before tbe timeot Rcukos; but te him belonged tha honeur of eyetemaWsing Sunday Sofioel efforts, and, bv persistently and eloquently advooafcng their olaimB, getting them universally adopted. And seven years after Raikes opened hia first Sunday School no fewer than a quarter of a million of scholars were to he found in different parts of England. At the present time it was estimated that there were four and a-half millions of scholars, taught by half a million teaoh era, and let tbem think of what the Sunday Sohool cf the paet must have done to prodace that result. If no n ore could be said he claimed fcr the institution ttat it had wrought a mighty a.1Id a gloxious work, but all the good of whioh it bad beea the author no human lip could feell, and none would know uniil they atood before the great white Throne. (Applause ) The Key Dr. PARKHURST, of Chicago, was then called npon in the place of the Rer W. B. Chidlow, Ohio, who waa the next selected speaker. He deeoribed the system oc which the Sunday Schools cf Am?,; ica were conducted. In Chieago the children cf its richcat came and sat with the children of the poorest. They understood it waa not eimp-Jy missionary work—it was Bible teach- ing, ard it waa supplementing the pulpit, and Bupplemer^irg the Christian home, Bible anudy in the Sunday Sohool was locked upon by them as just as much a necessity to the ohildren as the teaching of the was s necessity totheparonts. Their children till Tfcnt to Snnday School, wnd on tbe day cf the g'!ea.t fire in Chicago the number present at his school waa 963, every one of whom had their homes destroyed. At the present time there were in the United States and Canada no leas than 8,000,000 persons connected with Sunday Schools, and with regard to his own place he might state that with few exceptions all the members of his congregation who had been re- ceived into communion by profession of faith had come directly through the Sunday Sohool. (Ap- plause.) PARENTS IN RELATION TO SUNDAY SCHOOLS. The VICAR of SWANSEA (the Rev. S. C. Morgan) was the first speaker on thiB subject. He eaid that the relation of parents to the Sunday School ought to consist of an obligation on their part to see that their ohildren were regular in their attendanoe, to ask them questions about the teaching they reoeived, aud to pray that the teaching might be a sonroe of blessing to them. It was a terrible thing when the good lessonB taught in the Sunday School were undone by the immorality of the home, and Christian people should not forget to ask God to save the souls of parents, so that they might set suoh an example as would lead their ohildren away from Bin and wretchedness, to know and love the Lord Jesna Christ. The Rev. BLOOHFIELD JAMES was the next speaker. He Baid he would like to make one or two suggestions whioh they might adopt as the result of the meeting. The first waø that they should themselves go to Sunday Sohool, for none of them were too old to learn; the Beoond, that they should send their ohildren there, no matter to what rank in aooiety thay belonged-; and third, that they should make their homes ideal, model homes, the attraotion of which ehould be stronger than any outside attraction, and the inftaenoe of whioh ahonid be for good. (Applause), After a few remarks from Mr D. HOPKIWS (Cardiff) and Mr E. DAVIES, the meeting was concluded with the singing of a hymn. EVENING CONFERENCE. Another Conference was held in the Music-hall on Wednesday evening. The attendanoe was very large, the hall being filled. Mr J. T. D. Llewelyn raided. After singing and prayer, the Chairman, who was received with loud ap- plause, said ho would aay a few words upon the subject in general, and its observance in this oountry. There was no commandment so persis- tently broken in this oountry as the fourth. We may worship any gods we like, ia.agel if we please. We may blaspheme, and we may break the Sabbath, but when we come to touoh people's pockets, if we steal, it ia very different. In Scotland the Sabbath was much more striotly kept. He believed the proper way of spending Sunday was by attending Churoh, reading the Bible, and going to the Sunday Sohool. Dr. Parkhuret, of Chicago, introduced the sub- jeot of The Present Condition ot Sunday Sohools." He asked if the Sunday Sohool had reached its ultimatum, had it come to its beat, and waB it now to be struck by death, the grand structure now to go down in ruins ? He gave an account of the position of the Sun- day School in Chicago as an illustration of its position throughout the States, He explained that they were obliged to give up religious education, or break up their publio Bohool system. Their Sunday Sohools had, there- fore, to do what the publio sohool did not do. Mr Brockelmann, of Germany, said the best of the many good influences for which bis oountry was indebted to Eng- land was the Snnday School. (Applause.) The Rev. J. P. Ganntlett, of Holy Trinity, spoke ot the reflex benefit of Sunday Sohools: Mr S. B. Power also spoke on the same subjeot. The next subject, "The Claims of the Sunday School npou the Churoh and the Public," was introduced by the Archdeaoon of Llandaff, who was greeted with loud applauae on rising. He said the Sunday Sohool of the present day was very different from the Sunday Sohool of the past. In the past a work was oarried on whioh had now been made quite unnecessary. There was a time when the Sunday Schoola were the only means in the greater part of the country which men and women, as well ap children, had of making them- selves acquainted with the very elements of eduo*- tion. It wouid be impossible to point out the grut good which but day Sohools brought upon society in general. What would the Sunday be without schools, and what would the streets be like without them ? He referred to the testimony of Sir Kay Shultleworth that the good oonduot of the Manchester cotton operatives during the famine was due to a great extent to the Sunday Sohoola. The Rev James Owen. Mount Pleasant, who met with a warm weloome, waB the last speaker. He eaid the Sunday School had adaim upon them on acoountof,what it had done. The Sunday School had, perhaps, served the world mora efficiently than the Churoh. This was not so apparent in Wales aa it was m England, and in the North especially.
ST. J©HN'8 NEW CEUBCH. ,
ST. NEW CEUBCH. The Church Sunday Sohool of this pariah held its Centenary oelebration servioe in the afternoon of last Sunday. The ohildren, to the number of about three hundred. marohed in a well ordered procession from the Havod Copper Works Sohool to the beautiful church which ia now the parish church of thia parieh, where they were seated in the south aisle, eaoh class nnder the oare of its teacher. A shortened service, with speoial Pealms and lessons, was read by the Tioar, the Rev. J. Stephen Davys, and a very appropriate and eloquent adoress was delivered by the Rev. D. Hughes Francis, B.A., of London, to the school on the duties and work of Sunday School teachers and Boholars. The rev. gentleman walked back and fore in front of the juvenile congregation as he spoke, and by hia interesting remarks succeeded well in keeping every ohild in rivetted attention to the oloae. A considerable portion of the congregation sat in the nave of the church, and the whole servioe pasBed off very satisfactorily.
- THURSDAY'S CONFERENCE.
THURSDAY'S CONFERENCE. Mr Alderman Phillips presided over the united conference on Tharsday morning- ■J-"6 attend- ance was fairly numerous. The Caaurmaa said that Sabbath Schools were established in Wales before Raikes established them in Gloucester. Griffith Jonee, of Llanddowror, founded Snnday SchoolB in 1737, and 39 yeara afterwards the Sun- dav scholars in Wales numbered 310,008. The difficulty of retaining adalt scholars which waa experienced in England was not felt in Wales. Mr. F. S. Bishop, M.A., reada paper on II San- day School Management. He oalled attention to the importance oi each banday Sohool being directly or indirectly connected with the parent society in London, lie then proceeded to treat of government, aoeommodation, and furniture, officers and their duties, discipline, hours, system ef lessons and marking j promotions, prizes and treats, teaohera meetings, funds and additional and accessory work. IQ conclusion, tha reader Baid that the acoeBBories recommended a band of hope, a library, and children's services. Mr G. Gould (Bristol), a representatin of the London Sunday Sohool Union, also spoke on the subject. The Rev W. A. M'Allan (8wanBea) pro- posed, and the Rev Dr. Reea Beconded, a request to Mr Bishop to publish his paper. Mr Bishop eaid he would do BO. Dr. Rawlings had been announced to read a paper on The Claims of the Temperance Question upon Sunday Schools," but he was unable to do 10. Mr J.

Walter road, Brynymor road, and St. Helen's* road to the Criokec Field, singing as they went. The procession, whioh oould not have been mush let-s than three miles in length, and which took over an aoar and a halt to pass any given point on the ronte, formed an imposing sight. Each school was preceded by a banner bearing its nama, srd many of the scholars oarried fttgs and streamers. Everyone in the prooeseion wore a medal, which had been atruck in ccmmemoration of the Centenary. At in. tervals along the route linos of flags were suspended across the street. The progress of the cortege was watchod by thousands of spectators. After some hymns had been sung, the Mayor addressed a few words to the assembled multitude from a temporary platform, which hat been erected on the field. Hia worship said ha had never seen so many people together in Swansea btfore. Snnday Schools had on many ocoaaioas celebrated their anniversaries in large numbers, but such a oonoourseof people in the Principality bad, be thought, never been witnessed before. ALa the noblest and best part of it was that they were aU come together to show their appre- ciation of the Great Master they all wished to serve and worship. It waa his good fortune to be major this year, and of the several important thirga which had occurred, or would ooeus during his mayoralty, this waa tha moat important. Ha wished to give the younger scholars some slight memento or token of this day. He consulted his friend Alderman Phillips on the matter, and they came to the conclusion that it would be well to commemorate the occasion by giving them a Testament each. (Loud applause.) The books would be dattributed next Sunday or the Sunday after, and out of the many thousands that would be given out he hoped aome wonld do a great deal of good, and lead Bouls to the arms of the Saviour; Three cheers were then given for the Mayor, a few hymns were sung, the orowd Bang God Save the Qneen," and after the Benediction had been pronounced by the Rev Dr Rees, the sohoola dis- persed. In the evening a servioe of Bong, entitled Robert Raikes," waa given in the Music-hall by a choir ef 500 voices. The oonduotor waa Mr W. A. Davies, the organist Mr Gilbert Legge, and the leader Mr F. S. Bishop. This oonoluded the Cen- tenary oelebration at Swansea.
