II, anõ gJObJn the Coast ^Jelocted from the writings of the late Sir John Gibson. OBSERVATIONS January 29th, 1886. Men are more easily deceived by truth than lies. It is not extent of knowledge that measures intelligence, or little children would all be stupid. One reason why the poor do not abandon the places of their misery is that there is only A space of four or five hours between them and physical exhaustion. Cleverness learns to do well that which genius, untaught, first did badly. The wicked think they triumph over ylrtue when they slay the virtuous. The individual is nothing, and virtue soon finds another home. The measure of a man is tested by his power to turn calamities into blessings When a man's daily actions reflect his private thoughts he is on the way to learn the deeper things of life. Tie Coast.

ST. MARYS VESTRY.—At St. Mary's Church Ves ry on Thursday evening, Canon Williams presiding, he Vicar named Mr. J. L. Jones as vicar's warden, but Mr. Jones de- clined saying lie had served three years and his health had not permitted regular attend- ance. Mr David Evans was appointed. Mr. E. Williams, Bridge-stree-, was appointed people's warden. The sidesmen were re- elected with the addition of Mr John Morgan, Mill-street, and Mr. Thomas George, Custom House-street. The Vicar s.ated that Mr. Car- row, church architect, had come from London on the invitation of the Finance Committee, o inspect fhe Churches and see what form of war memorial would be most suitable. For St. Mary's he had suggested an elaborate screen on which the names of the fallen heroes could be placed. Mr. Carrow estimated the cost at 2100 The matter was deferred. The question of the repairs needed to the organ was discussed. Mr. J. L Jones said many people thougTi-. with him that the organ should be pulled down and a new one substituted, as repairs would be a waste of money. Mr Clayton Thomas was directed to ask the tuner to inspect and give an estimate for putting it in order, as there were not sufficient funds to renew. Mr. R D. Williams asked if ".he Parish Magazine was I printed in England or in Germany? He alleged that it was always late and asked why the work was sent out of the town instead of I being given to a local firm. The Vicar said Mr. William Jones, Ddraig Goch, .was the contractor, and when he died estimates were asked from local firms. One firm only esti- mated which was £1, 5s. per month more than paid for printing at Beverley The profit on .be Magazine for last year, it was stated, was 21 4s. 2d. Mr. Morris, Ncvrthgate-street, pro- posed a vote of tjhanks to the Vicar for pre- siding, and Mr David Evans proposed a vote of thanks LO all who had helped during the year. Among them were Mr. John James and Mr. Purton for lending plants for decorating the Church. Mr H. W. Morris proposed a vote of thanks to Mr T. L. Old and Mr Teddy Jones, Lampeter, for having ac'ed as organists during the illness of fjhe organist.

'o his clerk, Lance-Cor- poral Harvid, and the residue of the property to his wife, his medals, racing cups and plate to revert back as heirlooms on her death. SUNDAY CONCERTS.—"D.J.L." writes:— There was a *ime when Sunday concerts were unknown at Aberystwyth; when the Sabbath was spent in tilie quiet worship of God. The advent of railways, however, brought in is train the Devil's mission of amusements and among them Sunday concerts. As these were labelled "sAcre<|" concerts, the people were lured in -o the belief that there was no harm in them. At first many of the older people looked upon em with suspicion and the Churches warned the younger folk against attending j them. At first, admission was free, but in- cluded a silver collection. Then the promoters ?rew gradually bolder and made a charge which I believe is illegal) and Ahe money goes— who knows where? A few years ago local singers assembled on the Castle Grounds after evening service to sing hymns and antfiems for their own pleasure and for the entertainment of v-iri-ors and others. This attracted many listeners so that a suggestion was made to have a collection for some charity, as many of the visitors wished to express appreciation of the singing by contribution. Many pounds were thus collected and handed over to charitable I institutions in town. Nothing could be said against that, but gradually the greed for money became so strong that the trading element I appeared and the free concert was turned into a money-making concern. In spite of all this the Churches are dumb. We have heard a greai deal during ttie war about the need of re-constructing the Church and improving the morals of its members. Would this not have been an opportunity at the beginning of Lt.e season to raise a voice against the degradation of the Sabbath day ? TEA PARTY.—A tea party and competitive meeting was held at Tanycae Schoolroom on Wednesday when abow 100 members were pre- sent. Rev. R. J.

Walton told him lie had no licence. Rollason admitted having taken four of his father's cartridges. Jenkins shot one and Rollason another, and he took the o<<her two home again.—Mr. Walton, the fiitt dfTerdant's father, sa.id be was uinware ibll. a licence was needed for a gun to shoot crows.

Having regard to the numerous opinions ex- pressed as to the advisability or otherwise of the retention of the Excess Profits Duty and the fact that the Budget is in process of draft- ing, a few remarks regarding the application of the Duty may be useful to those who are assessed, or likely to be so, to this particular Tax. In its present form the impost is designed to collect a percentage of the excess over a pre-war standard, plus £ 200. This fact appears to be fairly well known, and it is the object of this and following articles to explain the working of various other provisions not so well known. A is a manufacturer, trader, etc., whose Pre-war Profits from his business and the Capital employed are as follows:— Profits. Capital. 1911 1290 987 1912 1365 1262 1913 1358 1886 Averaging any two (in this case 1912 and 1913 will be the most advantageous), we get the following figures:— Profits. Capital. 1912 1366 1262 1913 1358 1886 4- 2)2724 2)3148 1362 1574 Pre- War Standard. Statutory Allowance. 200 1562 Pre-war Standard. In the next issue will follow examples of the working of the Profits of the Accounting Periods, using this Pre-War Standard.

(HEAP Shoes are often dear at any price-they fit badly from the first, quickly lose their shape, and, soon wear out. Dear boots are often too dear because the dealer is getting an unreasonable profit. If you buy from me you can rely upon getting your full.'money's worth and real footwear comfort.
