Jones, M.A., Hen Dv Cwrdd, who is in his 78th year, preached at Highland Place Church on Sunday evening, His text was 37th Psalm, 25 verse, r have been young and now am old; ypt have I not seen the righteous forsaken nor his seed begging bread." Mr Jones, though suffering from a, cold, preached with wonderful vigonr for about 40 minutes. His sermon was brimful of sage advice to the young with regard, to this life and the life to come. He exhorted all to give up bad habits if they wished to attain a ripe age. They could not, when young, draw cheques recklessly on the store of life, and still expect the same amount I of vitality to remain at the Bank." There were plenty of innocent pleasures which would promote happiness if they only followed the dictates of common sense. Happiness was the main object of life, and let them remember that even a plentiful supply of money would not add to their happiness. There were men who had succeeded in making money but who missed the road to happiness SlEOA HALL. — Two capital per- formances of the Welsh dramatised novel, entitled The Workmen's Strike" (Beriali G. Evans) were given at the above hall on Wednesday and Thursday evenings. The hall was crowded on each occasion, and the actors played their parts exceedingly well. Perhaps the funeral procession and the singing of the hymn, Yn y dyfroedd mawr a'r tonau," would have been better omitted. The following were the characters represeiited:-Tom Wynn, colliery proprietor, Mr Emdar Evans; Symonds, manager, Mr William John Harries; Gruffydd Elias, strikers' leader. Mr John Owen; William Thomas, Mavis' husband, Mr David Rhydderch; Mr Davies, manager of Gwaith y Glyn, Mr David Davies; Dr Hees, Mr David Morgan; Inspector Roberts, Mr John Lewis; Sergeant Evans, Mr David J. Williams; Messenger, Mr William J. Morgan; Dafydd Jones, Mr William R. Evans; strikers: John Williams, Mr Henry Harries; Tomos Roberts, Mr Jacob Phillips; John Hughes, Mr William Phillips; Gwilym Goch, singer, Mr Dan Edwards; Will and Dai, comedians, Mr John Howells a Mr James Williams; Mrs Wynn, Miss Hannah Peregrine; Mari William Huw, Miss Mabel Ed- wards; Mavis, Miss Laura' Morgan; Gwen, Miss Annie Thomas. Stage man- ager, Mr Afanydd Morgan; leader of orchestra, Mr J. J. Williams, L.L.C.M., Adv.R.A.M., R.C.M. (organist); violins, Messrs Tommy Morgan, A.V.C.M., and D. D. Williams. Mr Emdar Evans per- formed the secretarial work. Mr J-. Zachariah had charge of the scenery. TABERNACLE. The Rev. J. M. Jones, pastor, was the occupant of Tabernacle's pulpit on Sunday evening. His text was John vi. 35, viz., the de- claration of Christ that he is the bread of life. Mr Jones referred to the craze for sensationalism that had taken hold of us. The politicians, the entertainers, the teachers and educators, and, he feared, even the churches and ministers were encouraging it. He would not say that there was no need for it. We were overwhelmed by monotonous drudgery, and he could quite understand a toiler in his leisure hour throwing himself into the sensation of a football match or a cinema or a prize fight. The only way to cure it was to change the conditions of labour. There was too much drudgery in our work, and too little capacity to make it a pleasurable service. It was tragic to think that, after all the efforts and money spent in building up a new system of education in our midst, no new interest had grown out of it—only a passion and a capacity for indulging in enjoyment. When many people thought of Jesus Christ they only thought of the sensational events of. his life. Jesus was not a creator of sensation. Pictures re- presenting sensational incidents in his career, such as the raising of Lazarus from the dead or the walking on the sea, conveyed the exact opposite of what his real life and character should teach us. The simplest thing that he ever did, viz., the establishing of the Lord's Supper, had been used as the scene of the crud- est sensationalism. It was a pity we could not enter more into the heart of Jesus. In form and in character the Lord's Supper was anything but a ritual. It stood for the consecration of the most common things of life.—Prior to the ser- mon Miss Alice S. Williams' Sunday School class gave a splendid rendering of Mendelssohn's Slumber Song. Mr E. Moses was the organist.
