Poet's Corner. AN EVENING FANCY. 'Twas summer time. A rather blu&tering day Was melting into night, its brilliance spent, The wind had ceased a<nd all around, one felt The calm of welcome leisure and content. My eyes were Westward turned and as I gazed Upon the enchanting view before me spread, My fancy framed a neld of friendly strife 'Twixt parsing day and ecming night o'erhead. The Sun, great hero of the day, withdrawn, Still lighted up the sky with blending hues. And wisps of clouds, like scouts, still passed along, As if to warn their cliief and bear. him news. From North and South the night's attacking forces came, Deep purpling masses clad in sombre hue, In horizontal form with deep serrated points, Like vast spear heads, concentring o'er the distant view. While from the East, o'erhead came darker forms, More solid and determined to invest And hide the still soft radiance hanging there, 'Twixt North and South and East-the open- ing in the West. A few late swallows flitted at abnormal height, But all beside seemed passing home to rest; And as the army of the clouds closed swiftly in, I too withdrew and pondel-ed,, deep impressed. THOMAS FARRAR. 174, Heaton Moor-road, Stockport. QUESTIONS. What are the nations saymg Oh what is their cry to-day r Have they no light to guide them, No prophet to point, the vay ? Have they been kept in darkness. Lefb to stumble everywhere? And made to smuggle blindly, By a God who does not caN. Is there a ligh". that nitera Down, down through the mists of Time: A light to lighten *'he people, Tbc races of every clime*' What are the words of Buddha" Confucius, Mahomet, Paul What T'he message of Jesut The greatest gospel of ail" Surely through counUèS8 The Light from on High shines clear: A voice from God has spoken, To all who have ears to hea-r. No land haa been forgotten "The Earth. He has said, "is mine": And all Earth's wayward children Are part of His plan d'vuu*. He sees the suffering nation In thei:* nght for Ear hfy a.lD, Always in fear of failure.. Of poverty, sickness, paic He tells them Life Eternal Is< more ths<n Life of Time; Man dreams of present splendent And not of the life div;n<t. He spends his days in CrELvinir The treasures of earth alotM. God wants his spiri s* riches. Not his poverty of soul. Oursolvea, not our possessions, Must be precious in His s'ght Not tall we learn His !csso" Will the nationa find the light: Why are their eyes stUI holden? Says Chri< "They will not sw. Why are their hearts still hardened That they will not follow me?" He says "My yoke ig easy," Ah! shoulder it while you can. The burden's love for o'.her?. Just lofve for your fellow man. Why arc the nations waiting As if for a voice to come? Surely the message needed, Is only—"His will. be done." LILIAN HAYDN MORRIS. Penmaen, Penmaenpool.

Pains aftet Meals. i If your digestive organs are in a sound and hoalthy condition, and extracting full nourish- ment from the food you es)b, there ought to be no sign of pain or discomfort. But to- day thousands are afraid to eat because of the pains that follow even & light meat of good :md wholesome food. The cau9a most probably lies with a weak or disordered digestive system. Possibly the stomstch is out of order the liver a little sluggish, or the bowets constipated. Got them into a state of healthy activity by taking' Mother Seigel's Syrup, and you will be able to' cat without a.ny painful after effec., because your food will "'ban be well digested. A short course of Mother Seigel'a Syrup, taken after meals, has helped tens of thousands to enjoy their food and pu-. a.n end to the p?ins and miseriea of indigestion. Put i? to the test youraelf and cease to &uSer.

WELSH SLATE TRADE. A BOOM ANTICIPATED. I It was stated in a. Manchester paper that Otter a long period of stagnation the We'sh ) slate industry is showing signs of revive. Those "in the know" declare that the trade is about to witness one of the biggest booms in all its long and chequered hist?y. tor many generations the making o? slates was the mainstay of thriving commu'mties in North Wales. Then the Welsh slate had no rival in the world. Its durability and lasting colour had won for it a reputation second to none. It found its way readily into all the markets at home and abroad. The disastrous Penrhyn strike-one of the worst instances of industrial folly this country has ever known—opened the door for the entry o? foreign slates. They were permitted to reach these shores duty free. and to compete with the native a.rt)cle on terms that were grossly unfair. Manufactured tiles' also began to supplant the slate for roonng. Finally came the war, which virtually com- pleted the decay of a great mdustry. There &re several factors that are bound to operate in favour of the Weilsh slate in the near future. For a long time to come sho-t- arp of tonnage will lie to the disadvantage vf imported slates. Our own buildin, trade il: call for larce supplies. The Continent will not he able fully to satisfy its own requirements. As the rebuilding of devastated areas will be one Of the most pressing tasks of peace, the demand for Welsh slates for export abroad will doubtless be large and pressing. The auarrv owners are doing all in their power to get ready for the boom. One may mention, for instance, the fa.ct th&t some of the quar- ries a)"e being modernised by the installation of ctectric power Given the right atmosphere for tlip next few "1. _1_L rears, there ts no reason wny me vy c sit IIId;e trade should not recover the proud position it once held as one of the most important and thrivtpg industries in Wales.

LLANARTH On Monday and Tuesday the Church of Pen- cae he!d meetings.commemorating the century pated by six years. Tuetndependents com- menced preaching in the vil!age in 1819; but menced preaching in the village in 1819; but the church was not formed tiJJ 1825. The Vcn- erable Dr. Phiilips, Ncua.ddiwyd, and the students at his college were the instruments of making the Independent denomination the lead- ing denomination in Mid-Cardiganshire. The memory of the Doctor and h's CoHege is held in high esteem in the district. The meeting on Monday evening was held in the chapei, the Rev. J. M. Prytherch presiding. The service was introduced by the Rev. Mr. Evans. Moun- tain Ash. The Chairman said he feit glad to see so many present. He could give the his- tory of the: churches of Pencae and Wcrn for more than sixty years, but ns the programme was rather long he deferred his remarks to the end so as not to curtail the time of the speakers. The Rev. Ton)as Hughes, the minister, gavo a short account of the formation of th;? church and named those who as members of Pencae entered the ministry—the Revs Mydr Evans, Barry; J. Beynon Jones, AbertiDery; E. P. Jenktns, Mariins Ferry, America, and Mr. D. Davies, who died young, Canon D Silvan Evans, and Stanley Jones, who entered the College; Mr, D. T. Rees, C.M., Llanina, and Mr J. T. Lewis, Gwynfryn, registrar of Oxford Probate Court, were a)so members of the church. Representatives of neighbouring denominations and churches gave addresses. Mr Jenkin James, M.A., director of education, Aberyst- wyth, represented Vronwen (C.M.) Cbxirch; the Rev. D. L. Jones (W.), Capet Vicar; M-. D. M. Jones, Worn: and Mr. Owen Davies (W.), Dol- cnnog. The Per J. D. Lewis, vicar, could not attend, having an engagement elsewhere. The Chairman said soon after his ordination the great revival of JMf9 took place when he re- ceived hundreds into both churches as mem- bers, who remained faithful to the end. Forty years ago a considerable number of young members of exceptional vision ot life had taken htgh positions in diflcrent spheres—medicaJ, legal, educational, commerce, and many be- came masters in the mercantile marine. The meeting was concluded in prayer by the Rev. Mr. Lewis, B.A., Tumbtc. The Tuesday meet- ing was held in a delectable spot bought by the church some years ago as a site for a new chapel near the village. The present building Js a mile distant and inconvenient for the aged. Fhe service was introduced by Rev. Mr. Lewis, B.A., Tumble, who delivered a. fine sermon to an attentive congregation. The afternoon ser- vice was introduced by the Rev. James, Rhydybcnt, and the ReV. Gwilym Rees, M.A., Pontypoo!, preached. The evening meeting was introduced by Dr. Rees, Brynboriau, and sermons were delivered by the Revs. Rees and I;ewis. Many ministers put in an appearance on Tuesday, including the Revs. D. L. Thomas, Gwilym Evans, D. Jones,, Aman Jones, and ethers.

TaJ- iesin; Mr. John Ellis, Denbigh; and Mr. D. Evans, Ton. The debased had been a. faithful member of the Calvinistic Methodist Church at Taliesin for nfty Tears. In spiritual experience she attained the highest levels, a woman strong in prayer. Her targe-hearted character made her see the best in every one, and her unfaH- in? tenderness made her Jose patience with any- thing that savoured of oppression. She gave to all of her bestt for her sense of duty was one of the guiding principles of her life.
