Y PARCH JOHN ELIAS. Gan, Mr Daniel Davies, Ton. Y mae y pwlpud Cymreig wedi cael ei frein- tio a llu mawr o bregethwyr ag oeddynt yn enwog fel areithwyr; ac o'r rhai hyny, cy- tuna agos bawb mai y Parch John Elias oedd y penaf: ynddo ef y cyrhaeddodd areithydd- iaeth gysegredig Cymru ei phwynt uchaf. Y mae yn anhawdd i rai na chawsant gyfleusdra i'w weled a'i glywed feddu ar ddirnadaeth, ond i fesur anmherffaith iawn, am nerth a dylanwad ei weinidogaeth; oblegyd nis gellir trosglwyddo yr hyn y rhagorai ef ynddo yn mhellach yn mlaen na'r oes yr oedd ef yn byw ynddi. ac nis gellir ychwaith ei drosglwyddo i gylch ehangach na chylch ei wrandawyr ei hun. Y mae rhagoriaet-h, uchel mewn areith- yddiaeth yn rhwym wrth yr areithiwr, ac nis gellir ei ddadgysylltu oddiwrtho. Hyd yn nod pan y mae y geiriau a ddefnyddid i'w cael yn gywir a digoll, y mae yn anmhosibl ail gy- nyrchu yr hyn ag oedd yn rhoddi y fath fywyd ynddynt pan y disgynent ar y cyntaf oddiar wefusau yr areithiwr. Ofer yw troi i bregethau Whitefield er oeisio rhoddi cyfrif am y dylanwadau rhyfedd oedd yn cydfyned a'u traddodiad, er y dylid cofio fod y pregeth- Rii hyny, fel y maent i'w cael yn awr mewn argraff, yn rbagori yn ddirfawr ar y cymeriad a roddir iddynt gan lawer; ac fel esiamplan o ymdreoh law-law megys a'r gwrandawyr, y maent, fe allai, heb gyffelyb iddynt. Gellir dywedyd yr un peth, i fesur, am bregethau Rowland Llangeitho,-y pregethwr mwyaf, yn ol pob hanes, a welodd Cymru mewn unrhyw oes,—y rhai, er rhagored ydynt, nid ydynt yn abl i ddangos y pregethwr ei hun ond i radd- ai tra anghyflawn. Yn wir, mynai hen wran- dawyr Llangeitho mai yr unig bregetb ar gael sydd yn dwyn delw Rowland ami yw pregeth "Evangelius" yn y "Theomemphus." Ni fyddir un amser yn mesur nerth dylanwad areithwyr mewn canghenau ereill o areithyddiaeth oddi- wrth yr hyn a leferid ganddynt. Y mae pob gair a lefarwyd gan Garrick, Kemble, a Mae, ready, i'w cael yn y darnau a draddodid gan- ddynt; ond ofer fyddai i neb geisio ail gy- nyrchu yr eeffithiau oedd yn cydfyned a'r defnydd a wnelent hwy o'r geiriau hyny. A phan y mae nid yn unig y geiriau i'w cael, ond, hefyd, yr amrywiol seiniau a'r donydd- iaetb fel y maent i'w cael mewn cyfansoddiadau cerddorol, ni ddysgwyliai neb allu teimlo yr un swyn a'r un hudoliaeth wrth glywed canu y rhai hyny gan gantorion cyffredin, ag a deiml- wyd ganddynt wrth glywed rhai o'r prif gan- torion yn eu oanu, er mai yr un geiriau fyddid yn gantt, yn yr un seiniau a chyda'r un don- yddiaeth. Y mae hyn yn wir am bregethau rhai o bregethwyr mawr Cymru; ac, yn ar- benig, y mae yn wir am bregethau y Parch John Elias; ac er fod nifer liosog o'i bregethau wedi dyfod i lawr i ni. nid yw y pregethwr ei hun wedi dyfod gyda hwy. Ond dylid cofio mal- nid ganddo ef ei hun yr ysgrifenwyd y pregethau hyn. Am bregethau Whitefield a Rowland, ysgrifenwyd y rhai hyny gan ypre- gethwyr eu hunain, a hyny er mwyn eu har- graffu ac nid i'w traddodi, yr hyn sydd yn gwneyd gwahaniaeth pwyaig. Ysgrifenwyd pregethau cyhoeddedig Elias gan ereill: ac yr oedd ef wedi marw cyn iddynt gael eu cy- hoeddi, oddieithr yr ycbydig nifer a gyhoedd- wyd yn "Y Pregethwr;" ac am yr ychydig flyny, dysgrifir hwy fel "pylwedd" pregethau, y rhai a ysgrifenwyd gan rywrai wrth en gwrando; ac mae yn hawdd genym gredu mai gorchwyl caled iawn oedd ceisio ysgrifenn hyn yn nod "sylwedd" pregethau Elias pan fyddai ef yn eu pregethu, gan mor danbaid y gwnai hyny. Addefai ysgrifenydd mor fedrus a'r Parch Ebenezer Richard, ddarfod iddo ef un- waith, mewn Sasiwn yn y Deheudir, fethu cofnodi sylwadau Mr Charles, o Gaerfyrddin, ar HolLwybodaeth Duw, er mai mewn cyfar- fod anghyhoedd, mewn Society, y gwnefc* hwy,, a hyny yn null araf a thawel y gwr mawr hwnw; ond y fath oedd godidawgrwydd y drychfeddyliau a draethid fel nas gallai Mr Richard eu gosod i lawr ar bapyr. Dywedai James Melville am dano ei hun, pan yn efryd- ydd n Mhrifathrofa St. Andrew's, yr arferai fv; • v Sabbothau i wrando John Knox yn pregf iiu; a byddai yn cymeryd i lawr y bre- geth; "but," moddai, "when he entered on application, he made me so to shiver and tremble that I could not hold my pen to write. Clywsom rai yn dywedyd am bregethau Elias, nad ydynt o ran eu cynllun nac o ran eu cyn- wys yn gyfartal i bregethau rhai pregethwyr enwog ereill: gall byny fod yn gywir; ac eto, en bod yn anghydmarol pan yn cael eu tra- ddodi ganddo ef. A gadael allan o'r cyfrif yr arddeliad dwyfol amlwg oedd yn cydfyned a'i bregethu, yr oodd y tan oedd yn ysbryd y pre- gethwr ei hun yn poethi «i ymadroddion ac yn tanio y gwrandawyr, a byddai mwy o feddwl yn cael ei wthio i'w eiriau, pan oeddynt yn y dymheredd bono, nag y mae yn bosibl i neb ganfod ynddynt wrth eu darllen yn awr. Ond nid yw y pregethau wedi eu trosglwyddo i ni fe! y cawsant eu llefaru; y mae y rhai y cyf- etriwydatynt yn barod-y pregethau hyny a gyhoeddwyd yn "Y Pregethwr," yn rhy an- nghyflawn-Wd ydynt ond damau angbysyllt- iol, wedi eu hysgrifenu yn fras, fel nas gaÍ1wn gael syniad iawn am gynwys y pregethau yn eu cyflawndef. Rhoddid mwy o bwys gan ys- grifenwyr pregethau, yn yr adeg hono, ar ran- iad&u y bregeth-"y penau," ac ar osodiadau cyffredin, sych, nag a roddid ar gydmariaeth- au byw ac ar ddrychfeddyliau dysglaer, neu, yn hytraeh, feallai mai tybied yr oeddynt mai y rhanau mwyaf sych or pregethau oedd i'w hysgrifenu; oblegyd y rhaniadau, a sylwadau cyffredin yn nglyn a hwy, oedd yr hyn a ysg. rifcnid y rhan fynychaf; ond y sylwadau mwyaf byw a gwresog fyddai yn destun ym- ddyddan rhwng y gwrandawyr wrth adolgu y pregethau a'u hail-adrodd Am y pregethau ereill o'i eiddo gyhoeddwyd y mae yn amlwg fod yr ysgrifenydd, er yn proffesu eu hysgrif- enu wrth eu gwrando, yn cyflawni yr hyn oedd wedi ei ysgrifenu yn y gynulleidfa o'i gof ac o'i fcddwl -ei hun; oblegyd y mac yn dra sior, am lawer o frawddegau llac a masw a geir ynddynt, na siaradwyd hwy erioedlyn y dull hwnw gan un oedd yn feistr y hnulleidfa., Ond y mae yn bosibl y byddai sylwadau sydd yi. ymddangos i ni yn oer a difywyd, yn cael e'l teimlo yn dra gwahanol pan deddynt yn dyfod oddiwrth y pregethwr. Arferai Dr Guthrie ddweyd fod y modd y siaredir i'r pwnc, yr hyn yw y pylor i'r belen,—"the man- ner is to the matter, as the powder is to the ball." Y-mw gwirioneddau syml a chyffredin, yn fynych, pan yn cael eu traddodi gan areith- iwr 0 radd uebel, yn cynyrchu effeithiaa an. ng-hreadawy ym mron. Ac onid yw symledd ac eglurder yn hanfodol i'r areithyddiaetl1 nchaf? Fel y mae y cantorion goreu yn ym- diochu tori pob sill a gair a genir ganddynt, yn glir a chroew, felly hefyd y mae yr areith- wyr penaf yn defnyddio yr iaith a'r meddyliau mwyaf cyfaddas i ddeall a gwybodcieth eu g randawyr. Byddai unrhyw ymgais at ym- g wreinio, neu at fod yn ddwfn a phell. yn rhoddi gv.aiih i ddirnadaeth y gwrandawyr, ac, felly, yn dyrysu eu sylw ac yn lladd dylan- wad yr areithiwr. Medrai Macready gynhyrfu miloedd ar unwaith yn unig trwy ei ddull yn dweyd y geiriau, "To-morrow and to mor- row. Mor syml, mor gyffredin yn wir, yw areithiau dirwestol Father Mathew mewn ar- graff, ond mor fawr oedd eu dylanwad ar y gvrandawyr! Pwy cldyehymygai wrth eu darllen yn awr ddarfod i'r rhai hyny wneyd yr Iwerddon fel crochan berwedig unwaith, ac iddynt fod yn foddion i gyfnewid cymeriad cenedl gyfan am un tymhor. Cymaint oedd eu dylanwad fel yr ymdyrai yr holl boblogaeth pol dosbarth a sefyllfa, ar ol yr areitbiwr, nes llenwi y prif-ffyrdd i'r fath raddau fel y dyg- wyd achwyniad yn ei erbvn yn Senedd Prydain Fawr ei fod yn dyrysu trafnidiaeth y wlad; a y hysbysid ar y pryd fod y "RojHd Mail" oedd yn rhedeg rhwng Dublin a Cork wedi cael ei rwystro ychydig cyn hyny, a'i gadw yn ei un- fan am agos haner diwrnod, gan faint y dorf oedd yn ymdyru ar ol yr areithiwr: ac eto, gellir darllen yr areithiau hyny yn awr yn J ddigon didaro.

Cilfynydd Football Clab. SUCCESSFUL SMOKER. At the Cilfynydd Inn (the head-quarters of the team) on Wednesday evening, a very suc- cessful smoking concert was held in aid of the funds of the Cilfynydd Football Club. Dr A. LI. Jones (chairman of the Club's commit- tee), presided. There were over 200 present, including several football friends and enthu- siasts from Pontypridd and Abercynon. Mr Ack Llewelyn (Welsh Football Union) proposed "Success to the Team." In his re- marks he emphasised the need of footballers in general playing the game for the love of play, with the national desire tor emulation and sue, cess, and not for the sake of professionalism. So long as players did not lend themselves to professionalism, the game would live in the affection of the country as a national pastime. He was glad to find such a pleasing record with Cilfynydd team, and tmsted they would con- tinue to add to it before the end of the season. As they all knew, he took an intense interest in the game, and he wished to remind them that he came there that evening to enjoy him- self and not for speech-making. He much preferred being in the "scrum* 'to having to deliver anything like a speech. At the same time if he could do anything to help them they might command his services. He would be pleased at any time when not already engaged tt referee for them. (Hear, hear). Mr J. Clark (vice-captain) in a few well-chosen words, thanked Mr Llewelyn for coming amongst them, and especially for the remarks he ex- pressed in reference to the team. He also wished to tender to him the thanks of the team for his kind offer to act as referee. Mr W. H. Watkin (vice-president of com- mittee) in proposing a vote of thanks to the Dr for presiding, spoke of the indebtedness of the committee and the team to him for the manner in which ho had conducted not only that smoker, but for the constant attention, unflagging energy, the enthusiasm, and hard work be had thrown into the duties. He might say without fear of contradiction that the pre- sent highly gratifying position of the Cilfynydd Football Club was due fb a great measure to the admirable generalAip displayed by the Dr. He hoped that next year would shew a still finer record than this, and if they; had Dr Jones at the helm he feared not the result. He asked them to drink "Health and Prosperi- ty to Dr Jones." (Cheers, and Tor he's a jolly good f-eitovrii. Dr A. Lt Jones, in re- sponding, thanked the oompany for the hearty manner in which the toast of his health had been received. It gave him great pleasure tie be connected with such a promising, and sue. cessful team. He was also much gratified to see Mr Ack Llewelyn and friends from Ponty- pridd and Abercynon testifying to thcir, good feeling towards football ÍJI the district. He thanked Mr Wat kins for his kind remarks, although he thought them much too flattering. Being an old footballer, he could not do other- wise than always back it up. A vote of thanks was accorded to the visitors and those gentlemen who had rendered such valuable services towards the success of the evening in contributing songs, solos, etc. Great praise is due to Mr T. J. Rees for the able manner in which he arranged the excellent programme of music for the evening. The following gentlemen acquitted themselves in a manner which left nothing to be desired: — Messrs J. O'Neill, Dan Lewis, Arthur Jones, Frank Boulton, Phillips (secretary to Ponty- pridd Reserves), Robert Roberts, Alec Rich- aoos, Master Willie Evans, David Phillips, Aaron Meredith, and John Richards (violin). Mr Mayberry Thomas accompanied in his usual unassuming, but masterly, manner. The singing of the Welsh National Anthem by Mr D. H. Harris, and "God Save the Queen," brought to a close one of the plea- test and most enjoyable recreative even- ings held in Cilfynydd.
