At the English Calvin- istic Methodist General Assembly, held at Colwyn Bay last week, a striking address on "The message of the times for the church was given by the Rev. J. Lewis Jenkins, who is this week re- linquishing the pastorate of Trinity, Aberdare, to undertake pastoral duties at Oakfield Road Presbyterian Church, Liverpool. ST. ELVAN'S. On Sunday morning last (Rogation Sunday) the Te Deum was sung to Helmore in E flat and the Benedictus to Dykes in F. The Vicar officiated and preached from John 16. 23. Taking as his subject, "Prayer," the preacher said that in the text was a wonderful picture of Jesus Christ teaching us by example to pray. As the earthly father knew his child's wants, so much more clearly did God know each one's wants. Why did God want us to pray? The spirit of sonship prompted us to approach God. The more we prayed the more we realised this sonship, to which there was no limit. A very vague idea of prayer existed to-day, and it confused the issue very badly. The condition that Christ laid down was "In my name." The basis of all effectual prayer was in Christ's name. At the conclusion of an impressive discourse the rev. gentleman invited the congregation during Rogationtide to attend the old Parish Church, and pray in Christ's own way, for without spirit- ual life there could be no real prayer. At the evening service the Canticles were chanted. The Rev. D. J. Wills officiated. TABERNACLE. On Sunday evening at Tabernacle English Congregational Church Miss Elsie Williams, A.R.C.M., London, gave a delightful rendering of Gounod's "0 divine Redeemer." Miss Williams, who hails from Merioneth- shire, and is a sister to Mrs. (Rev.) R. H. Davies, Cwmbach, is an accomplished soprano of splendid voice. Mr. E. Moses was the organist. The Rev. T. M. Jeffreys, pastor, preached from 1 Peter 2. 13, "Submit yourselves to every ordin- ance of man for the Lord's sake." This was, he said, not a plea for patriotism but an injunction to loyalty as a Christian duty. Mr. Jeffreys proceeded to deal with the foundations of our loyalty as Christian people. Obedience to the laws of the realm was taught us by the example of Christ and also his Apostles. Loyalty evinced a Christian spirit of meekness, submission, and fidelity. The loyalty of Christian people, however, was not inconsistent with the freedom of conscience. If the laws of the realm contravened the law of God the individual should be pre- pared to pay the price of conscience. But we must not confound Christian principles with political principles. We must be careful lest on the plea of allegiance to conscience we were defy- ing the civil constitution, as some who were styled "conscientious objectors" were doing nowadays. MISSION TEA. On Thursday after- noon, at St. Mark's Mission, a tea was given to the younger Sunday School scholars. Through the generosity of the Sunday School teachers and the older members of the Mission over 150 children partook of tea. Mrs. Ll. Jones and her staff of willing workers deserve a word of praise. The service on Sunday evening was conducted by Mr. W. H. Templeman, who also gave an address. The lessons were read by Messrs. D. J. Williams and Fred Phillips. OBITUARY. On Monday last week Mrs. Osborne, wife of Mr. Benjamin Osborne, 12f Wind Street, passed away at the early age of 42 years. The inter- ment took place at the Aberdare Ceme- tery on Friday last.

Mr. John Morris, son of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Morris, Jubilee Road, pre- centor of Noddfa, emigrated to the United States about four years ago. He is the possessor of a rich and brilliant tenor voice. While at home he took minor parts in various operatic per- formances. Since his advent to the American continent he has applied him- self to the study of music with signal success. In a letter recently received by his parents, Dr. David A. Solly, the minister at whose church Mr. Morris has been engaged, testifies to his singing abilities. Dr. Solly says: "Jack is doing finely, and as long as he makes America his choice, my home is to be counted his home; my money even is at his dis- posal if he can use it in his preparation and study for singing himself into the hearts and lives of the people of our land. I shall be proud of him in every advance he makes, and hope he will continue to give you reason for pride in him as a good and reliable young man."
