Colofn y Cyiriry. [DAN OLVOIAdTn T. D. ISAAC. 1 LLANILLTYD FAERDREt. Mr Gol.,—Yr wyf wedi bod yn teithio cryn dipyn yn ddiweddar, felly nid oedd amser i ddim ond yfed dyfroedd iachus y Ffynonau. Lewis Isaac o'r Dyffryn. Mae y Dyffryn yn ffenm lied JPawr, ar ba un y saif rhan o bentref Uws y Cross Inn. Ar ran uohaf y tir y saif y Cottage Homes, gan edrych dros y gwastadeddau prydferth tua glan y mor. Tua 60 rnlynedd a rhagor yn ol, cawn deulu dedwydd iawn yn trigianu yn y fferm uchod o'r enw Mr a Mrs Evans. Mae R. Evans a'i briod wedi t-ewi er ys blynyddoedd bellach, ond mae rhai o'r plant eto yn aros ac yn byw yn Mhontypridd, sef yr adnabyddus Mr D. R. Evans (Councillor Evans), Mrs Rogers, a Mrs Francis. Mae'r enwau uchod yn adnabyddus i bell ac agos, sef teulu Evans o'r Dyffryn, Llanilltyd Fardref. Yr oedd y Lewis Isaac ucihod wedi dod i wasanaethu at Mr Evans o'r Dyffryn, ac wedi cael ynddo feistr da, a Lewis hefyd yn was da, fel na fu Lewis Isaac ddim oddiwrth deulu y Dyffryn hyd ei fedd. Yr oedd gan y teulu gymaint o barcb iddo fel y cafodd ei gadw yn anrhydeddus ganddynt yn ei hen ddyddiau, pa rai fu lawer, o herwydd bu fyw yn hen. Pan ddaeth Lewis i r Dyffryn ymddengys nad oedd un lie o addoliad gan y Bedyddwyr yn nes na Tabor, Llantrisant, a Carmel, Pontypridd. Yr oedd ffordd bell o'r dyffryn i'r naill a'r Hall o'r lleoedd uchod, sef o bedair i bum' milldir. Ond er fod y ffordd yn mhell, ac yn arw iawn y pryd hwnw, eto yr oedd Lewis yn gallu cyrhaedd Tabor erbyn deg ar foreu Sul, a gwynebu j-n ol i'r Dyffryn erbyn ciniaw, beb rwgnach dim, oc yn ami iawn gwelid ef yn gwneud ei ffordd tua Tabor erbyn nos Sul wed'yn. Yr oedd Lewis yn meddu ar ffydd gref a sel fawr dros yr hyn a gredai oedd iawn. Mae yn rihaid i ni gofio nad oedd yr heol fawr a gwastad bresenol sydd o Lantrisant i Bontypridd i'w ooael, ac os oedd wedi ei gwneud nid oedd yn dramwyndwy ond ar adegau. Y ffordd y byddai Lewis yn myned fyddai hon: Ai at y bryn, ac hebio'r Llest, a throa gae Crwmpyn Ystradbarwig, a thros y Coedcae yn mlaen i'r Cymdda bach, a fyny i Tabor. Yr oedd yna ffordd arall, sef heibio i'r Ddiewid Fach, i la\\T at Tynant, a thros Goed- cae Tytywarch a Gwaun-y-Stanc, ac allan i heol Penycoedcae, a thros Nant y Cymdda. Ond pa un bynag o'r ffyrdd a nodais yr ai, yr oedd y naill fel y Hall yn anwastad a garw. Yr oedd yr hen bobl yn llawer mwy selog ac ymdrechol na ni, yn herwydd gwn am rai o then drigolion Llanilltyd a gerddent i'r Cymmer, Cwm y Rhondda, ar foreu Sul. Dechreuodd y Bedyddwyr achos yn y lie, sof llofft y Cross Inn, a daetb Lewis Isaac o'r Dyffryn i uno a'r frawdoliaeth fecb ar y lofft. Yr oedd Lewis yn Fedyddiwr selog. yn grefyddwr dilychwyn, yn ffyddlon a diwyd. Machludodd el haul pan dros 80 xnlwydd oed. Claddwyd ei weddillion yn ymyl Salem, Llanilltyd, lie oedd mor hoff a anwyl ganddo. Mae mawr glod yn ddyledua i deulu parcbua y Dyffryu am eu parch a'u gofal am dano. SHON Y GWAS.

SOUTH WALES INSTITUTE OF ENGINEERS. MEMBERS DISCUSS COAL WINDING ARRANGEMENTS. The general quarterly meeting of the Insti- tute of Marine Engineers was held in the Lec- ture Theatre, Park Place, Cardiff, on Monday, the president, Mr Henry K. Jordan, P.G.S., in the chair. The following gentlemen were elec- ted by ballot members of the institute:-W. Stephen Da vies, colliery manager, Mountain Ash; J. Herbert Edwards, electrical engineet-, Cardiff; W. B. Phillips, colliery mamager, Ebbw Vale; and J. S. Sparkes, mining engin- eer, Cardiff. Mr Ralph Hawtrey, Naval Col- liery, Penygraig, was elected a student of the Institute. A paper by Mr John Vaughan, Dowlais, on wire rope conductors for pit cages, discussed at a previous meeting, was again considered, Mr Vaughan replying on the criticisms already made. The renewed discussion was contributed to by Professor A. C. Elliott, D.Sc., South Wales University College; Mr S. A. Everett, Pentre; Mr Dan Morgan, Stratton-on-the- Fosse; Mr Henry W. Martin, Dowlais (past president); Mr Hugh Bramwell, Pontypridd; Mr George J. May, Penarth; and Mr William Johnson, Bridgend. A cordial vote of thanky was passed to Mr John Vaughan, for aris paper, which the president remarked had evoked a most useful debate. A paper treating of a subject in the same category was that of Mr T. A. O'Donahue, descriptive of an endless winding chain plant at the Rowley Colliery, Burnley. There was a big diversity of opinion as to the applicability of such a principle to the steam coal deep shafts in South Wales, Mr Henry W. Martin arguing against it, and Mr W. D. Wight in favour of the practicability of the application of a development and improvement of the principle the Welsh coalfield. Other gentlemen taking part in the discussion included Mr R. Bedlington, Aberdare; Mr I. Trcharne Reea, Cardiff; Mr John Vaugban, Dowlais; Mr Hort Huxham, Swansea (secretary); Mr George May, Penarth; and Mr G. W. Westgarth, Cardiff. The discussion was adjourned, to permit of Mr O'Donahue, who was not present, to either at- tend the next meeting or send a reply to the criticisms upon the method for which he con- fessedly has a prejudice. The consideration of papers on "Deep Pump. ing at the Elliot Colliery," by Mr E. M. Hann, and "Pit Hhead Pulley Framings,' by :aL' S. A. Everett, waa deferred; and papers on "The re- lative positions of Drums and Pulleys in Wind- ing Arrangements," by Mr G. W. Westgarth, and on "The Coal Beds of Queensland," by Mr T. P. Moody, were taken as read. A vote of thanks to the president, proposed by Mr Henry W. Martin, concluded the proceed- ings.

--MY HOLIDAY
MY HOLIDAY REMINISCENCES. ARTICLE IV. By B.D. (From, the "Pontypridd and Rhondda Chroncile.") In my last article I made some remarks on the eminent Dr Williams, a native of Wrexham, frit a minister in London. His princely be- quests for the support of the Nonconforming ministry, and also for the promotion of educar tion, deserves more than a passing notice. There are not much less than eleven hundred pounds a year coming to the Principality alone, out of the charities established by this eminent North Welshman, besides the large sums dis- tributed in England for similar objects. He also left his library, which was formerly called the Red Cross Street Library, London, but now is situated in Grafton Street, Gower Street, for the use of the public. This is the most important establishment of the kind in the Metropolis. We are sometimes asked in derision, "Where are our eminent men? Let Wrexham answer the question in the de- partment of literature, and Glan Conway in the art department. And if the ironioal ques- tioner will only take into consideration the dis- advantages under which they laboured when Universities were closed against all Noncon- formists, I think tbe contempt will recoil on hi? own head. Would it be wrong to nitersperse our re- marks with an incident of a ludicrous ten- dency which took place in Wrexham in the eighteenth century? The Rev Rowland Hill once preached in this town, end the pigs dis turbed the service. It was an open-air servioo, for there were but few buildings that vvum contain Mr Hill's audience in the dayø of hili itinerancy. In a field: adjoining the one where the great man was delivering the message of the Cross, thread or yarn or twine was hung up on posts to dry, and several women were taking care of it to preserve it from the de- predations of fourfooted beasts. The interest- ing service took the attention of the women, and they were tempted to join the audience, but left the gate of the field open and the yarn exposed to injury from the wandering pigs, who went in, and the iron ring in their snout became entangled in the yarn or twine. The more they shook the twine the more they found themselves imprisoned. The load cries of the pigs alarmed the women, who soon found out the mischief which had been done. When they returned to their posts they disentangled the pigs, but not without creating a good deal of amusement in the midst of the sermon. The pigs could conquer the eloquence of the great Rowland Hill. This took place near Penybryn, where I heard Mr Jones, Cwmpark, on the 19th of August. I am glad to state that the pig fraternity did not disturb Mr Jones's meeting. A lady who was converted under Mr Hill's ser- mon on the above occasion called his attention to the incident many years after the occurrence. Pity that I forgot in my rambles through Chester to mention the sharp servant in the Inn, who overheard a persecuting constable ex- plain to the bishop the royal warrants he bad in his bag to apprehend and make prisoners of the Irish Protestants in the days of Bloody Queen Mary. The Nonconformist servant, watching her opportunity, observed the con- stable and the bishop leaving the room without locking the bag left behind. No sooner were they gone than she searched for the warrants, and found them, and took care of them, putting into the bag a pack of cards, that the perse- cutor might have a better amusement tbat shedding the blood of poor Christians in Erin's land. When landed in Dublin he looked for his warrants, but, to his dismay, he only found a pack of cards. Before he was able to se- cure a second lot, the Queen was dead and Elizabeth on the throne of England. When the new Queen was informed of the incident, she was pleased with the tactics of the woman, that she gave her forty pounds a year as long M she lived for her sharpness. But let me return to Brymbo. Ah! what a contrast between the Brymbo of to-day and the Brymbo of forty-five years ago, and what greater contrast still between the Brymbo of 1899 and the Harood of 1809, when the great Williams o'r Wern was unable to secure here but an insignificant audience. On the 20th of August was the closing meeting of a series of opening services of the new Welsh Baptists at the Lodge, Brymbo. I had the honour to preach at the Lodge in the morning and at the Tabernacle in the evening, and had two splendid congregations. There is an English chapel in the place as well as a branch of Welsh Sunday School at Penrhos. The present minister is doing splendid work here—large and intelligent audiences, a strong and active church, deacons whose motto is toj'stand fast in one spirit, with cne mind, striving together for the faith of the Gospel, and a minister's wife, in the per- IOD of Mrs Jones, who realises the responsibi- lities of a pastor's helpmeet. I shell never for- get this happy Sabbath, the 20th of August. There were but very few person who had even a faint recollection of me, after 45 years' ab- sence. I hope they are sons and daughters worthy of the faithful fathers I remember there in the days of small things.. I had an idea when lingering about Wrex- ham, that I could dispose of Brymbo with a few remarks, so as to draw my sketches to a close. But no sooner are my meditations tak- ing flight than a host of men of renown claim an honest recognition—a resurrection from the burial ground of the forgotten past. Each name here again could well afford to be the sub- ject of separate sketch. That, however, is be- yond our object. The first name suggested is the eminent Wil- liams o'r Wern, one of the three giants of the Welsh pulpit. The name of W. Williams leads as back to 1803, if not 1800. We are told that a Sunday School was kept hare. or, rather, at the Wern, as early as that date. Preaching services were conducted here by students from the Independent College at Wrexham, among whom WM Mr William. A few friends, we are told, at Harwood, joined the friends at Wern to give a call to the young student whose mind was so engrossed in preaching, that classical knowledge had no attractions for him. It was as a preacher that he attained such reputation in Wales, and became an honour to the Prin- cipality as well as to the denomination. He stood shoulder to shoulder with Christmas Evans and John Elies. The preaching of those days had the penetration of the lightning, the foroe of the thunder, and the power of the earthquake. A large number of the ministers in Wales, when Christmas Evans, John Elias, and Williams o'r Wern, appeared, were teach. ers alone, dealing with doctrinal points, and addressing themselves to the intellect of their hearers more than to their emotions and sym- pathies. Being educated and talented men they were inclined to despise the unintelligent and the unlettered man who usurped the pulpit with- out the qualifications for the work. But when these three giants of the Welsh pulpit appeared they combined the knowledge of the educated with the moral and spiritual forces that could, by means of the truth, arouse the passions, kindle the affections, warm the heart, and set fire to the conscience, with the happy result that the Welsh pulpit not oply fostered the con- verted, but promoted conversion, and became a two-edged sword, guided by the Holy Spirit to bring men to cry, "What shall we do to be saved ?" Williams was a burning and a shining light. He came forth like a comet, whose bril- liance outshone all other lights. His oratory poured forth in torrents, sweeping everything before it. His soul was thoroughly penetrated with his subject, his heart seemed to swell, and has thoughts so possessed his whole being, assimilating themselves to every power of soul and body. His eyes, his countenance, his mo- tions, and his voice so corresponded with his thoughts, that the audience felt the divine power, end expressed their feelings ia tears, or groans, or in smiles. When preaching on the resurrection of the dead from the window of Ynysgau Chapel, Merthyr, he had so riveted the attention of the vast audience who stood on the burying ground before him, that when ho reached the elimax, all the crowd moved to- gether in terror, imagining that the graves under their feet were bursting open, and ths dead rising. This was the power of a soul ab- sorbed with the truth. But with all this pulpit power, this very man was not able to induce the people of Brymbo to attend his ministry. When he was once listening to a preacher describing the terrible condition of unconverted men he cried out, "0 Harwd, Harwd i Beth a. ddaw o Harwd! This was done when he waa in the midst of his popularity, and the audience wait- ing for himto follow the preacher who had al- ready created a deep impression. I must now leave the Congregationalists here, although they have been favoured with great and popular men, such as Hwfa MOD, and others. My attention must be confined to the Baptist cause. In the Baptist Register the date given for the commencement of the cause is 1836. What may be the foundation of that statement I cannot imagine. The late Rev J. Williams, Rhos, author of the "Oraclau Byw- iol," told me that he had the charge of this place at one time. When was that I cannot now explain. As the present minister is collecting materials towards a history of the church, he may be able to clear the mystery. It would not be amiss to make enquiries of deacon E., of Mos. My records will not lead me beyond 1848, when the old chapel, Pienygraig, was opened. From that time to 1854, there is no- thmg but interchanges of evolution and devolu- tion, sunshine and storms, the growing wheat and the smothering tares. It is a pity that we cannot, with due respect to the purity and holi- ness essential for the ministry, give a sketch of that great pulpit orator, Owen Owens, Caer- philly, Rhydfelen, Treforis, and Brymbo. Alltud Glyn Maelor, the eminent poet, we one of the deacons of the church. He waa the father of the Rev J. R. Jones, Pontypridd, and the late W. Jones, Fishguard. He was not only a poet of a very high order, but a man of gener- al knowledge, well versed in the Bible. I can see now the piercing eye of the bard fixed on the writer when preaching on the ^Atonement as a satisfaction to the Divine Government." With men of the mental calibre and good nature of Alltud in the diaoonate, many a young man might be developed into a useful labourer in the viaeyard of the Lord, who may have sunk into nonentiy in the frozen atmosphere of the hwyl-loving fraternity. John Roberts, after all, was the best friend. because he had that steadfastness, combined with true sympathy, with goodness and con- sistency, which was then rare in. the neighbour- hood. Space will not allow me to mention other names. Thsy would all join to-day in singing the word& of AJltiid-— "Oofio'r wyf yr awr ryfeddol, Awr wirfoddol oedd i fod; Awr a nodwyd cya bod Eden, Awr a'i dyben wedi dod- Awr wynebu ag un aberth, Awr fy Nuw i wirio'i nerth; Hen awr anwyl prynu enaid; Awr y gwaed, pwy wyr ei gwerth?" The cmircii-book of Alltud, as the secretary .with its particular record of the position of each member, and especially the periodical balance- sheet, not of the money, but of the spiritual and social position of each member, is to me a very solemn document; the facta of forty or fifty years ago remain facts to-day. The book re cords, the immortality of actions as well as of souls, every stop of life is deeply carved in the rocks of eternity—every thought is imprinted on the heart of God. The wounds inflicted by those who crucify to themselves the Son of God, afresh will appear before the eyes of the back- slider when his eternal doorn haa been fixed by the Omniscient Judge. I shall eloso my remiijfiscences with the mere names of the ministers who served the church. One I have already mentioned. The second was the writer of these notes. Dr Parry (Cef- ni), was here a few years. Rev J. Jones, of Velinvoel, was settled here, and the whole cf Wales knew him as one of the best platform men in the denomination. The Rev J. Davies, Birkenhead, was ordained here. This was the ftsoood ordination in the cburcb, miae being the first. Rev D. Edwards was the next minister. He emigrated to America. After him we find the name of the present minister. Brymbo has always succeeded to have talented men to take itt. pastoral care. The present position of the church is, I think, the most prosperous since the beginning of the cause. Some of the great- est men in the Baptist pulpit were raised here .-1. Williams, Llanllyfni, and the late W. Jones, Fishguard. There are some others now pastors of various Welsh churches, such as the Rev E. Evans, Bangor, besides several others not known to tbe writer. A separate sketch of the Rev W. Jones would ba most interesting. But the best portrait of him is the volume of his sermons just published by Rev T. T. Jones, Cardiff. We are now closing our present series, reserv- ing, however, a few names for future notice. I hope some despondent workers have received encouragement; that the lukewarm have been quickened; that the backsliders have been warmed lest they end their days as leaders in the ranks of the enemy, and thus belie their fcrmer activity. Let all be prepared to face the balance-sheet of life in the presence of an honest conscience and an Omniscient Judge.

Assault in a Coal Mine at Poqtygwaith. FIREMAN ATTACKS A HAULIER. At the Porth Police Court on Thursday (be- fore Mr T. P. Jenkins, Dr Parry, and Council- lor D. W. Davies), David Phillips, fireman at the No. 8 Pit, Pontygwaith, was charged with assaulting William Thomas Evans, a haulier, whilst working at the coal mine on the 20th ult. Prosecutor said that on the afternoon in question he had order" from the defendant, who was a fireman, to deliver to him six empty trams. He did so. Subsequently defendant came down to where he was engaged working and said "why the h—— don't you give me more trams after I gave you orders?" Witness denied that he had been ordered to deliver more than six. An altercation ensued, and defendant caught hold of him by the neck with both lands and pressed him up against a tram of coal exclaiming at the time, "I'll choke you, you b- Afterwards he caught hold of a "D" rope and threatened to hit his b-- braiv out. Witness told defendant he would have to pay for it. Defendant then said he did not care a d-. Defendant denied having oaught defendant by the throat, "he only caught in his collar." He got annoyed because the work had been delayed through prisoner not bringing him eight trams instead of sfx, as be had been or- dered. Prosecutor called a boy named David Jamea Arthur, the "gaffer's" son, to prove that de- fendant had caught hold of his throat, and not in his collar, as stated by him, but the boy contradicted this, and supported the defendant's version of the affair. He also stated that pro- secutor threatened to drop defendant when he caught bold of his collar. Prosecutor said the manager had threatened to sack both of them if he did not withdraw the summons, but he absolutely refused to do 60 Mr T. P. Jenkins observed that prosecutor had failed to prove the case as regards the taking hold of the throat. But still he bad no right to take hold of his collar. His proper duty would have been to report the case to his superior. The Bench imposed a fine of 15B.
INTERESTING PONTYPRIDD WEDDING…
INTERESTING PONTYPRIDD WEDDING IN LONDON. On Wednesday, September 27th, an interest- ing wedding took place at Bloomsbury Baptist Chapel, London, which will interest some of our readers, as Mr A. W. Davies had associated himself with the Tneorkv Royal Male Choir, on their visit to the Queen at Windsor, and made all the arrangements for the choir during their stay in London, and also in conjunction with Mr Tudor Rhys, organised one of the most WI& cessful Welsh eoncerts held in London. Mr R. W. Davies, the son of our townsman, Mr John Davies, 28, East Street, was married to Miss Louisa M. Rich, of London. Bridea- naid, Miss Miriun Edwards; best man, Mr James Richards, of Brighton. The nuptial knot was tied by the pastor, Rev B. J. Gib- bon. The bride was given away by her father.
