Highland Place Unitarianj…
Highland Place Unitarian Church. A question for Kiug Edward VII." was the subject of the Rev. H. Fisher Short on Sunday evening. For the true King he went back to Alfred the Great. With the exception of Alfred and one or two others, all the long line of kings had been anything and everything but true kings. Had they emulated Alfred, the history of England would read very different to what it did. King Edward VII was nothing more than a figure-head. He reigned but the people ruled through the House of Commons. But the jvmg was nal dc v'*J > £ aw cr. A once said "Power is ue\ er good unless he be good that has it.' How would Edward VII use his power ? No man had a right to expect loyalty unless he was worthy of it. There was not an evil which cursed the land and spoiled the life of the people, which, if the King set his face against it with half the zeal which Alfred "threw into his work, could not he greatly reduced, if not completely eradicated. By a life of up- rightness, a life sincerely devoted to the happiness and well-being of the people, he could so influence and direct the forces of the nation as to make the powers of the Czar of all tha Russias and the Emperor of Germany sink into insignificance.
God is Love.
God is Love. WITH APOLOGIES TO THE AUTHOR OF EXCELSIOR." (Dr, Agar Beet says that the text on which he has based his" broad" teaching is "God is Love.") The shades of doubt were falling fast When from the chair of Richmond passed A man, who bore amid despise A creed built on the strange device "My God is Love." His brow was sad, his eye askance Flashed heresy in every glance, And saintly ears were badly stung By words from that blasphemous tongue. "My God is Love." He fain would quench the brilliant light Of yon hell-fire so warm and bright, And still the everlasting groan With words unheard in that warm zone "My God is Love." "Try not the Pass"! said Hugh Price Hughes, Dark lowers the tempest of abuse. The pit is still both deep and wide," But loud that roaring voice replied My God is Love." "0 stay," said dogma, "stay, and rest Thy muddled head upon this breast;" The tear of love stood in his eye, While a clear echo from on high Rang God is Love." Beware the sceptic's withered branch! Beware the awful avalanche! Beware the reprobate's dark night! A voice replied, unswayed by fright, My God is Love." The pious monks, who strictly guard The ancient faith, shot heavenward A bitter oft-repeated prayer, But still the voice from Richmond chair Cried "God is Love." Being followed by. the faithful hound The hunted heretic was found Still grasping as if in a vice The doctrine with the strange device "My God is Love." There in the Conference that day The modern Bruno stood at bay, While from the sky, serene and far. John Wesley's voice fell like a star, My God is Love."
Aberdare Swimming Baths.
Aberdare Swimming Baths. Opening Ceremony. Last Saturday, Coronation Day, was the day selected for the Formal Opening of the Swimming Baths erected by the Aberdare District Council in the Public Park. Among those present were Mr. A. S. Pleace, High Constable; Col. Phillips, Clerk of the District Council; Mr. E. Morgan, Chairman Councillor L. N. Williams, Councillor Owen Harries; Messrs. O. Williams, Surveyor; A. F. Morris. Assistant Surveyor; Ernest Williams P. T. Rees, Solicitor; T. D. Hughes, Boot Hotel; Rev. R. J. Jones, &c. Mr. L. N. Williams, who has been the originator of the Baths, and who has always taken an active interest in their promotion, called upon Mr. Ed. Morgan, the chairman of the Council, to open the Baths. Mr. Morgan in a very brief, but bright speech, formally declared the Baths open, and that henceforth they would be known as Coronation Baths." Subsequently the competitions took place, prizes being generously given by Mr. L. N. Williams. The first was a swimming race for boys under 16. The first prize, a gold medal, was awarded to John Clifford, Industrial Schools, and the second, a silver medal, to Zechariah Butler. The next contest was a two-length swimming race for young men under 18. The first prize, which was a. gold medal, was won by D. Williams, Gadlys road, and the second, a silver medal, by D. A. Jones, Collier's row, Abernant. The next competition was a four-length swim ming match (open). In the first heat N. G. Shenton came out first, and W. J. Rowlands second. In the final lieat, Shenton was victorious, and, consequently, secured the silver cup that was offered to the winner. The second prize fell to the lot of D. A. Jones, while a consolation prize was given W. J. Rowlands, Llwydcoed. Special prizes were offered for diving. In one class, which was limited to boys under 16, T. Jones, East Avenue, who dived the whole length of the bath, took first prize; while John Clifford came in as a good second. In another diving competition which was open to all comers, T. Jones also secured the prize. A prize for the best bathing costume, a silver medal, was won by Mr. Haydn Thomas, Bute street, The adjudicator was Mr. J. D. Hughes, Boot Hotel. At the end of the contests, the laurels were handed over to each winner by Mr. E. Morgan, who made a few terse remarks in his own inimi- table way. In handing over the cup to Mr. Shenton. who stood shivering on the brink of, the water in his bathing costume, Mr. Morgan expressed his sorrow that the cup did not contain a drop of whisky to infuse a little warmth into its possessor. Not- withstanding the chilly atmosphere and the uninviting aspect of the water, there were a good many swimmers competing, as I well as a goodly crowd of spectators present.
|Elim, Cwmdare.
Elim, Cwmdare. Memorial Stone Laid. The ceremony of laying the Memorial 1Stolic of Elim, Welsh Congregational Chapel, Cwmdare, was performed on Monday after- noon, A large number of members witnessed the ceremony, including the Revs. D. Griffiths (Pastor), T. Edmunds, Hirwain; W. S. Davies, Llwydcoed; J. M. Jones, M.A., Tabernacle; J. Grawys Jones, Ebenezer; J. Richards, Bethel; J. Sulgwyn Davies, Siloh; D. Silyn Evans, Siloah; Siloa D. M. Davies. Bryn-Sion, Cwmbach; H. A. Davies, Moriali, Aman. The mem bers of Elim have for some months been holding their services at Cwmdare School, while their Chapel is being rebuilt. The Rev. D. Griffiths was appointed chairman, and opened the meeting, reading a portion of the Scriptures. Rev. D. Silyn Evans then led in prayer- Mr. Thomas Thomas, one of the old deacons, then gave a brief history of the churches. He had lived, he said, in Cwmdare for 38 years, and had taken deep interest in the church during that time. The Revs. T. Edmunds and W. S. Davies spoke and expressed their great pleasure at being present to show their whole hearted sympathy with Elim church. Then the Chairman, on behalf of the church, presented Alderman J. W. Evans and Councillor Rhys Llewellyn with a silver trowel each. Both of these gentle- men afterwards formally laid the memorial stones, on which were inscribed their names. Alderman Evans said it was a source of great happiness to him to have his name inscribed on a stone which formed a part of God's House. He appreciated the references made by previous speakers to his services on behalf of every good cause better than any worldly gift that could be bestowed upon him. He hoped that the future would give him many more opportunities to do whatever he could for religious causes. In conclusion, Alderman Evans thanked the church for the honour of being asked to lay one of the foundation stones. Mr. Rhys Llewellyn (in welsh) referred to the fact that he had lived at Cwmdare for the last 30 years, and it was with great pleasure that he had come amongst them that day to lay a memorial stone in a chapel at Cwm- dare. No fear need be entertained of erecting new chapels at Cwmdare. There is plenty of coal in the Bwllfa, he said, even if the present output was doubled, to last for another 200 years. During the time he had been at Cwmdare, the number of houses and population had doubled, and it was not at all improbable that the present population would again double in the next 30 years. The Rev. D. Griffiths then thanked Alderman Evans and Councillor Llewellyn for their services there that day, and for their splendid gifts of XT.) 15s. each towards the fund. Mr. Griffiths further stated that in all t603 lis. had been promised towards the re-building fund.- t546 7s. 6d. already received. Other SUillS collected reached 4:142, giving a grand total of £ 688 lis. 6d. The Rev. H. A, DaYieS terminated the meeting in prayer.
