The Aberdare Leader

fI MAY DAY GAMES AND BALLADS. Mrs. Aubrey Roberts gave a very charming demonstration under the above title at the concluding meeting of the Tabernacle Young People's League, Aberdare, on Tuesday, May 1st, under the chairmanship of Mr. Louis Thomas, B.A. The lecturer, who gave descrip- tions of May Day festivals and customs of many lands, illustrated her remarks with water-colour sketches, and was assisted by a varied programme of re- citations, and vocal and instrumental music. Mr. W. Thomas, Trecynon, was especially appreciated for his fine violin renderings. Solos were given by Miss May Hopkins and Miss Rita Jeffreys. A choir from the National Schools rendered in char- acter an old ballad. The Tabernacle Girls' Choir furnished other items, and Miss Olive George, Miss Ollie Saunders, and faster Glyn Saunders took part with recitation and song. The school- room was full. Mr. Saunders, Mr. J. A. Lloyd and the Rev. T. M. Jeffreys in the subsequent discussion voiced the gratitude of the League for Mrs. Roberts' valuable service.

MR. STANTON AND RABBIT COURSINC. Mr. C. B. Stanton, M.P., has given notice to ask several questions in Par- liament during the week. He is calling attention to the holding of rabbit coursing matches in Wales, and declares that at Caerphilly and other places such contests are held every week. "I regard them," says Mr. Stanton, "as brutal, and with a tendency to demoralise and brutalise the people associated with them, and it is full time to put a stop to this sham sport in the interests of sport which is healthy and Teal." It has come to Mr. Stanton's know- ledge that important tobacco firms, in fixing the new prices for tobacco, are charging more than the new tax justifies, and are thus making an extra profit out of the new taxation. He is urging Mr. Bonar Law to deal with the readjustment of prices, so far, to use his own words, to prevent these un- patriotic. pilfering profiteers from robbing the workman. Mr. Stanton, too. is objecting to the secret session. He is taking the question up with the Prime Minister, pointing* out that the members of the House include persons who are notoriously pro-German in sympathies and actively anti-British in their actions. If, he says. Ministers are to speak the truth and the whole truth. what is to prevent these pro-German from divulging the information they receive ? Mr. Stanton is also urging reforms with regard to the treatment of the wounded, and takes special objection to the 6d. a day which is deducted for their keep in hospital.

Letters to the Editor. THE PEACE MEETING. Mr. Editor.—I attended a most in- teresting meeting last Tuesday evening at Ebcncz/cr, Trecynon, under the aus- pices of the Aberdare Propaganda Peace Society. The Rev. James Jones, E!im, Cwmdare, took the chair, one of the most sincere men, with whom J. deeplv symoathi.se in his martyrdom. Dr. Peter Price, Rhos, one of the most popular miniaters in Wales since the Revival, who was placarded to speak on the "Kingdom of Heaven," had one of the finest audiences. But allow me to state here that I was greatly disappointed in the meet- ing. As it was a Peace Meeting why not a few prayers to heaven for peace ? Surely God has the last word to sav in the destinies of nations. And why not send a strong resolution in favour of peace to the War Council, and another to the Kaiser, who by now is a sadder if not a saner man? i Dr. Price's address was a treat of hot hash, made up of bits of old ser- mons and lectures, seasoned with strong spices and gravies to suit the palate of his audience, who cheered him to the echo. He emphazised very excellent truths, lie committed very in- genious inconsistencies, and offered S2me i.grave compromises. Al- though the meeting was held under the A.P.P.S. to Advocate peace and brotherhood, Dr. Price preached the most virulent class hatred. Some poor mortal, who happened to he a ,J.P.. was dubbed a "Big Hug"; some deac ons at Bethania, Dowlais, termed "rack- renters"; "scoundrels'v was hurled at others, and "Royalty" was spat upon. Of course, all this was for gallery con- sumption. and was greatly reiished. Revolution" was passionately advo- cated to bring about the Kingdom of Heaven, if "Reformation" was further delayed. Now I am a Pacifist, "a man of peace," as "he chairman said. I pray for peace; I publish the glad tidings of peace, and I am anxious to do anything and everything in my power to bring, about "Peace on earth and good-wiH among men." So will you allow me to ask the Rev. J. Jones, Cwmdare, to state clearly what is the programme of the A.P.P. Society? What do they propagate and fight for, and hope to- attain? Tuesday evening's meetincr brought peace no "forrarder." Dr. Price's solution of the present terrible problem was verv comical and highly amusing. He advocated bring- ing say 6 of the leading personalities connected with the war, from everv belligerent country, pack them into- some backyard, and let them fight the matter between them to a finish.0 Now that would be jolly fun, but I feel sure the Kaiser, for one, would not enter the cock-pit; lie would be a conscientious objector to that easy way of fighting tc a finish. Perhaps little Willie would enjoy the game. But surely that is not what you, Mr. Jones, advocate. So what is the Society's programme of peace? Is it peace of victory for the allies, or the peace of victory for Germany r Or do you advocate the duty of the Allies to throw up the sponge to-morrow, and leave Belgium, Serbia, Rumania, ew., under the bloody heels of the German hordes? I ask the Rev. J. Jones because I feel sure of a sincere, straightforward answer; and if what the Society aims at is within the bounds of possibility, vou will have to "put my name down" also. I am with you heart and soul.—Yours sincerelv, CYNOG WILLIAMS.

BAPTIST CYMANFA CANU. The 38th singing festival of the Baptist Union (Aberdare District) was held on, Monday, the morning meeting at. Noddfa, Trecynon, and the afternoon and evening meetings at Calfaria, Aber- dare. The Rev. Arthur Davies, Mer- thyr, conducted. The organist in the morning was Miss G. M. Thomas, Nodd- fa, and in the other meetings Mr. George Jenkins, Aberdare, in the absence of Professor Tom Davies through ill- ness. The presidents were: Morning-, and afternoon, the Rev. J.

Williams, Cwmdare. The Cymanfa sustained its high reputation for earnest singing and large attendances. The prizes for com- posing hymn tunes were awarded tc Messrs. Edgar de Lloyd and Thomas J. Thomas. The conductor sang a solo of his own composition to words by the Rev. J. T. Job. A vote of sympathy with the organist, Professor Tom Davies. in his continued illness, was passed. Mr. Gwilym Richards, Ynyslwyd, a sectional conductor, was congratulated on his restoration to health. -——

CAN L. N. WILLIAMS (AP CARW COCH). Tua chanol y ganrif ddiweddaf yr oedd Dyffryn Cynon yn dra enwog am ei feirdd a'i lenorion. Perchir y ddau gvmrawd uchod gan y frawdoliaeth yn herwydd eu brwdfrydedd a'u gweithgar- weh o bl&id Cymdeithasau Cymreigydd- ol, ac yn ddiweddarach oblegid eu hvm- drechion diflino ar ran Eisteddfodau y Carw Coch. Yr oedd Alaw Goch a'r Carw yn gyf- eillion. mynwesol, ac yr oedd eu ffydd ym mhosibilrwydd yr Eisteddfod i ddyrchafu a llesoli y genedl yn aniffodd- adwy. Llwyddasant gyda chynorthwy nife-r o Gymrodorion twymgalon t gweithgar i wneud Eisteddfodau y Carw Coch yn boblogaidd tu hwnt i gyffiniau Morg&nwg. Yn gynnar yn y tiwyddyn 1861, pan yr oedd y Carw yn arwain ebolyn lfangc ar ei itordd i Ffair y Waun, gwylltodd y creadur a llwyddodd i dorri coes y Carw. Bu y ddamwain yn foddion i ddeffroi yr awen yn y gwersyll barddonol, ac am dymor bu'r Wasg yn bur ddiwyd yn eu croniclo. Y mae cynnyrchion rhai o'r beirdd yn fy meddiant, ac ar gais nifer o bobl yn Aberdar yr wyf yn eu hanfon i'r wasg. Bwriadwyf eu eyhoeddi mewn llyfryn.

DAMWAIN I'R CARW COCH. Y mae yn ddnvg genym ddeall fod ein cyfaill Mr. W. Williams (Carw Coch), Heolyfelin, wedi cyfarfod a damwain dydd Llun divveddaf, trwy ba un y torodd ei glun. Y mae yn dyfod yn y blaen cystal ag y gellid ddysgwyl. "Gwladgarwr," Mai 18, 1861.

Cwmdare Notes. BY RAFFLES. Since the price of tobacco is gone up some great intellects have stopped smoking. Popcorn, Bagpipes, Bumper, and Rocksalt are among them. I am sure you felt embarrassed, Will, when you tore the lady's dress last Sunday evening. But she smiled on you. and all was well. It was unfortunate that you mixed parsnip seed with the lettuce seed. Let both grow until the harvest, Jack, then you'll tell the difference. Mary Elizabeth Ann sprained her ankle on the allotment. She is now sowing beads not seeds. Twm Talcen Slip is just the bloke, Who will not spend his coin on smoke, And though at times he does feel queer, He'll never more touch any beer. Polly and Dai went for a spoon On a very warm afternon, Polly's mother watched the game, And followed the pair with a cane. Their little plans were all defeated; Towards home Polly retreated. Polly, in tears, said to her mother, Are we not told to love one anotherf" The mother replied with a tear in her eye, coYes, but you shall not love that wretched Dai." Poor Dai need not vex; the con- ductress is still glancing towards him
