Liberal Jottings.
Liberal Jottings. BY Y.L. It is refreshing, after meeting such a man as Lord Chas. Beresford, to come across an officer of the type of Sir R. Bed en-Powell. "I am no politician," said the latter at a meeting recently. I was asked by somebody at the last General Election to stand for a certain constituency, and I telegraphed back, 'Delighted, which side?' Lord Charles on the other hand is al- ways attacking the Liberal Government, more especially Mr. R. McKenna. It is hoped that he is more of a success in the Navy than in the political arena. He generally gets the worse end of the stick when he stands up to Mr. Asquith or the First Lord of the Admiralty. Indeed, he is so accustomed to the sea that he is all at sea when he is on land. Sir Baden Powell's naive enquiry, "Which side?" reminds me of the great Thomas Carlyle. Many years ago there was a strike in Glasgow and the military were called out to put down the mob. Carlyle was walking the streets when he met a lawyer whom he knew carrying a rifle. The lawyer was bent on assisting the soldiers in shooting the workmen. "You should have the likes of this to-day, Mr. Carlyle," said he. "Yes," drily re- plied the sage, "but I've not quite made up my mind on which side to use it." Mr. Keir Hardie's persistent talk about running two Labour Candidates in this constituency, is causing quite a flutter in Liberal circles. Some of our sturdy, irre- concilable Radicals have long been advo- cating two Liberal Candidates, even when Labour did not aspire for more than one seat. It is more than certain that if the Merthyr Labour Representation Associ- ation bring out two, the liberals will not burke the issue, but will take up the gauntlet and make it a straight :fight be- tween two Liberals and two Labourites. In that event, should the Conservatives keep out, the fight would be an extreme- ly interesting one. A subject debated in the local League a few weeks ago was: "Should Munici- pal Elections be fought on political lines?" I commend to their notice another topic, equally interesting: Should municipal elections have a place in our religious services?" In Taber-

nacle, Hirwain, on Sunday week, one of the deacons announced an election meet- ing, and proceeded to make an appeal to the congregation to vote for that particu- lar candidate on whose behalf the meet- ing was to be held. Our senior member has delivered his maiden speech in the House of Commons, and a vigorous, fiery, and fighting speech it was. A Conservative member who spoke later characterised it as a speech full of eloquence, but also full of imagin- ation, But this compliment was from a Conservative member be it noted. Members on the Liberal side of the House warmly congratulated Mr. Jones on his brilliant effort. Liberals have just cause for jubilation at the result of Mid-Glamorgan. The Liberal Candidate had not been much be- fore the public previous to this contest, whereas the Labour champion had been nursing the constituency for years. All the big Labour guns were down assisting Mr Vernon Hartshorn, while Mr. Gib- bins had to depend almost entirely on local support. The result is. truly mag- nificent. I see that Mr. Hartshorn, a la Mi. Keir Hardie, dubs every elector who voted for him a Socialist. Another big mistake. There were hundreds, if not thousands, of men who voted for Labour because of the plea of Mabon, Brace, and others, on Mr. "Hartshorn" s behalf. Are Mabon, Brace, Onions, etc., Socialists be- cause they wrote and spoke on behalf of a Labour Candidate who happens to be a Socialist ?

m Want of Sunshine. A Chief Cause of Nervous Prostration and a Wonderful Preventive Remedy. This importance of weather conditions in the treatment and prevention of nervous prostration is not generally appreciated if it were, many a harass- ed individual with an overstrained nervous system would prevent the final breakdown by retiring to some place where bright and bracing conditions pre- vail, and remaining there until his nerves have recovered. An eminent physican has stated it as his firm conviction that want of sunshine is a chief factor in these cases, and that without some sunny weather he thought that recovery would be considerably delayed. Now in times of physical and mental weariness it is always better to partake of a nutrient, rather than to indulge in a stimulant. So say other notable medical men, and that these wants are fully met by the wonderful discovery of Dr. Tibbies' Vi-Cocoa, its proprietors are more than prepared to affirm. Dr, Tibbies' Vi-Cocoa has become a household word, .and this wonderful Food-beverage has come to take an important place in the dietary of the best regulated families. You are not obliged to take our word for these things. Get a sixpenny packet of Vi-Cocoa and prove them for yourself. Do no ask your grocer for cocoa. Ask for j: —it makes all the difference. Every grocer sells Vi-Cocoa in 6d. packets and 9d. and 1/6 tins.

Died from Burns. At an inquest held at Aberdare on Monday on the body of William John Howlett, three and a half years of age, who died on Friday as the result of burns received on the previous day, a verdict of "Accidental death" was returned.
Fall down Cliff.
Fall down Cliff. Young Man Killed. Aberaman Girl's Awful Experience. A distressing affair happened on Sun- day evening on the cliffs between- St. Donat's Castle and Dimlands, Llantwit Major. A young couple fell over on to the beach below, and the youth was dead when found about 4 o'clock Monday morning, and the girl terribly injured. On Sunday evening John George Kibblewhite (19), an assistant at the Llantwit Major Post Office, the son of Mr and Mrs J. E. Kibblewhite, school- master at Wick, and Miss Cranogwen Lewis (18), the daughter ef Mrs Lewis, Brook street, Aberaman, the widow of a former manager of the Co-operativo Stores there, and who has been staymg at West Farm, Llantwit Major, went for a walk along the cliffs. They did not return home and enquiries were set on foot and then a search was commenced. About 4 o'clock Monday morning Messrs Mervyn Morgan and Ernest John (an uncle of Kibblewhite) found them lying close together at the foot of the cliffs. Kibblewhite was dead, but his body was warm, showing that he had lived for some hours after his terrible fall; while Miss Lewis was not only alive but con- scious. She was seriously injured, how- ever. Miss Lewis explained that while walk- ing along the path by the side of the cliff the young man slipped, and to save himself, clung to her. She was dragged over the side of the cliff, and they both fell a distance of 60ft. Dr. Ayre, Llantwit Major, informed a pressman that he was called at 4'45 on Monday morning to the cliffs between Tresillian and Dimlands. He found the body of Kibblewhite lying on the shore. The skull was fractured. The girl was lying quite near him. She was suffering from a badly fractured thigh and bruises all down the right side. She was taken to the West Farm. The couple appear to have taken the pathway running along the edge of the .cliff from Llantwit Major to St. Donat's Castle. The old pathway has been slightly diverted in order to make a road. It is supposed that in the darkness they took the old pathway, and in crossing the stile near the edge of the cliff the young man slipped and fell over, grasping the girl and dragging her down with him. The tide was receding when the two fell, and the couple were above high- water mark. Miss Lewis was recently burnt as the result of falling into the fire, and she was staying at Llantwit, having been there a fortnight, in order to recuperate. Miss Lewis' brother, Mr. Thomas John Lewis, who is in the employ of the Cwmbach Co-operative Society, proceed- ed on Monday morning to Llantwit Major, and found his sister in a precarious condition.

Yn ngholofn olygyddol y U Drych Americanaidd cawn y nodiad canlyxiol: "Bydd lln o garwyr cynydd a gwareidd- iad yn teimlo yn llawen am y ddamwain ddyewyddodd i Jo Cannon, fu yn atalfa ar ffordd y Gydgyngorfa^ er's talwm.

Brawddeg olygyddol arall yn yr un rhifyn o'r Drych ydyw hon: — M. Duez yn Paris sydd engraifft or grafftwr Americanaidd, oblegid cododd o fachgen tlawd i fod yn un o ladron penaf y wlad." Clywsom son am "Irishman's rise lawer gwaith. Dyma engraifft o'r cyfryw godiad, mae yn debyg. Y Sul diweddaf cafodd eglwys Fedydd- iol Calfaria, Aberdar, wyr o enwogrwydd mewn llawer cylch i wasanaethn yn ei gwyl flynyddol. Un ydoedd Dr. Morris (Rhosynog) yr hwn sydd wedi bod yn bug-eilio eglwys y Noddfa yn Nhreorci am 41 o flynyddan. Mae Dr. Morris wedi eistedd yn mhrif gadeiriau ei enwad, ac wedi gwneyd enw iddo ei hun fel pre- gethwr, Jlenor, bardd, a golygydd. Un arall o bregethwyr yr wyl ydoedd y Parch. J. Nicholas o Donypandy, yr hwn syckl wedi derbyn galwad i bwlpud y di- weddar Ddr. Rowlands yn Llanelli. "Nid yn unig fel pregethwr y mae Mr. Nicholas wedi enwogi ei hun, ond hefyd fel gwleidyddwr. Mae yn Socialist brwd, as yn un o golofnau Plaid Annibynol Llafur. Cymro ieuanc a'i lygad ar y Senedd a llygad y Senedd arno yntau ydyw Mr. Ernest Evans, o Aberystwyth, yr hwn a fu yn areithio yn Aberdar nos Sadwrn diweddaf. Mae yn llefarwr rhydd a ffraeth, ao yn deall y ffordd i ddiddanu cynulleidfa. Y Sadwrn diweddaf claddwyd y Parch.

Da genym weled Dr. Mortis, pan yn pregethu yn Aberdar, yn eTgydio mor drwm ar ffug wladgarwch-ein pechod gwreiddiol mewn ystyr wladol. Y mae y rhagrithiwr gwleidyddol yn uchel ei ben yn Nghymru. Nid yw y rhagrithiwr crefyddol ronyn yn fwy o bla na hwn. Gwelir cynifer o ddefaid duon ffug a thwyll ar lwyfan yr Eisteddfod Genedl- aethol ac yn uchelwyliau y Cymrodorion ag a welir yn unrhyw gorlan eglwysig. Mae sebon gwladgarwch yn beth isel- bris, ac y mae hyawdledd cenedlgarol mor rad a llaid-a'r un mor werthfawr.

Calfaria, Aberdar. DR. MORRIS AR WLADGARWCH. Nos Sadwrn a thrwy y Sul a'r LIun di- weddaf daeth cynulliadau da yn nghyd i addoldy Bedyddiol Calfaria, Aberdar, i glywed doniau yr wyl bregethu. Bryd- nawn Sul dechreuwyd y cwrdd gan Mr. T. J. Howell (Hywel Nedd). Pregethwyd yn gyntaf gan y Parch. W. S. Evans, Ffynon, Sir Benfro, testyn yr hwn ydoedd Titus ii., 11-13. Yna pregethwyd gan y Parch. J. Nicholas, Tonypandy. Ei des- tyn ydoedd loan 17, 26, Ac mi a hysbys- ais iddynt dy enw, ac a'i hysbysaf; fel y byddo ynddynt hwy y cariad a'r hwn y ceraist fi., a minau ynddynt bwy. Dangosodd y pregethwr mewn modd effeithiol a chyda cryn hwyl fel y mae Cristionogaeth yn lyfu gydag an genion yr oes. Yn ystod yr odfa canwyd yn rymus ac effeithiol U Magnify, glorify" gan y II cor dan arweiniad Mr. Daniel Griffiths. Mr. W. H. Perkins ydoedd yr organydd. Llvwyddid y cyrddau gan y Parch. J. Griffiths. gw.einidog parchus Calfaria. I Fore Llun dechreuwyd_ yr odfa gan y Perch. D. Silyn Evans, Siloa, a phregeth- ■wyd gan y Parch. Ddr. Morris (Rhosyn- og), Treorci. Cymerodd Dr. Morris yn destyn Rhuf. ix.. 1-3, a Rhuf. x., 1. Sylwodd y pregethwr mai cenedlgaredd Cristion oedd yn ngeiriau y testyn. Nid oedd Cristionogaeth yn lladd cenedlgar- wch, ond yn hytrach yn ei feithrin. Yn ei gymeriad newydd yr oedd Paul yn genedlgarwr mwy aiddgar ac yn wlad- garwr mwy pur nag erioed. Nid oedd Ciistionogaeth yn wrthwynebol i wlad- garwch na chenedlgarwch. Dyweder a fyner am "dreadnoughts," gwarchae dio- celaf ein gwlad ydoedd dynion duwiol. Dywedid yn fynvch fod gwladgarwch yn crebachu dyn. Ond mewn gwirionedd Uedu ac nid culhau dyn wnai gwladgar- wch. Yr un modd am Gristionogaeth, hyhi yw vr "expansive power" goreu. Cenedlgarwch delfrydol" oedd yn y geiriau. (1) Yr oedd sail g'wirioneddol- rwycld yn hwn. Yn y dyddiau hyn yr oedd llawer iawn o wladgarwch ffug. Yr oedd cryn dipyn o hwn yn yr etholiad diweddaf. Yr oedd llawer o hono yn amlwg ar ddydd Gwyl Dewi diweddaf. Yn yr Eisteddfod Genedlaethol yr oedd i'w ganfod. Ar lwyfan hono clywid pawb yn pratian U Oes y byd i'r iaith Gym- raeg." Yr oedd gwir wladgarwch yn fflam angerddol, ysol yn nghalon dyn. Yn Nghrist Iesu yr oedd gwladgarwch dyn yn iawn. Yr oedd cydwybod tucefn i wladgarwch Paul. (2) Angerddoldeb teimlad ydoedd un o nodweddion Crist- ionogaeth ddelfrydol. Os am gael gwr- taith gwir wladgarwch darllener llythyr- au John Penri pan yn floadur yn Scot- land at ei deulu yn Nghymru. Yr oedd Caradog, arweinydd Cor Mawr Aberdar, yn drwm ei glyw, ond canfu y pregethwr ef yn darganfod disgord yn mysg 500 o leisiau pan nad oedd neb arall yn sylwi arno. Yr oedd Caradog, er yn fyddar, wedi disgyhlu ei glyw i'r -graddau hyny. Felly yr oedd teimlad gwir wladgarwyr wedi cael ei ddisgyblu i'r fath raddau nes yr oeddynt yn sensitive i'r disgord moesol lleiaf. Ai nid oedd bwystfileidd- iwch dyrnwyr yn Mountain Ash o flaen deng mil o edrydhwyr yn peri loes i ni? Y traed oedd yn myn'd a hi yn awr. Dyna y bel droed. y ddawns, a'r "skating rinks." Yr oeddym yn dadblygu tuag j lawr, ac yn yr oes nesaf hyddai ein penau wedi myned. (3) Yr oedd Cristionogaeth ddelfrydol yn meddu ysbryd hunan- aberthol. Rhaid i'r gwir ddiwygiwr aberthu poblogrwydd a ffafrau byd. (4) Yr oedd buddiant uchaf cenedl yn nod i'r gwladgarwr Cristionogcl. Edmygai efe (y pregethwr) y dynion cødd yn ddigon gwladgar i daflxi eu cyfalaf i'r bwrdd cyfnewid er mwyn masnach eu gwlad. Yr oedd ganddo hefyd edmygedd .m awr o ddynion fel Gomer, leuan Gwynedd, Dan Isaac Davies. Dr. Price, Calfaria, Tom Ellis, ac ereill a wnaetaant gymaint dros addysg a chymeriad y genedl. Cyhuddid ni yn y dyddiau hyn o "other- worldli- ness." Wei yn.sicr yr oedd gormod o this-worldliness" yn bodoli. Dywedai beirniad pryddest Ben Bowen ar "Pantv- celyn" ddarfod iddo ganu gormod am Gymru a thragwyddol'deb. Hvny yw, yr oedd yn ormod o wladgarwr a dyngarwr. Yr oedd yr oes bresenol yn colli ei "sense of proportion." Yr oedd y "South Wales Daily News" y dydd hwnw yn rhoddi dalen gyfan i adroddiadau y bel droed, a dim ond rhyw dair llinell i hanes cyrdd- au crefyddol.

Lecture on St. David. WALES' LOW MORAL STATE. At the St. John's Bible Class, held on Sunday afternoon at the Aberdare National Schools, Mr. T. Lloyd, church- warden, presided. He called Mr. Dewi Williams, B.A., senior curate in Aber- clare, and president of the Aberdare Cym- i odorion, to address the, meeting on St. David and his time." Mr. Williams said that St. David was a Welshman, a native of our soil, and one who loved our nation and spent all his energies in the service of God and for the welfare of his countrymen. He (Mr. Williams) saw no reason why a Fes- tival should not be held in every church throughout Wales on St. David's Day. Might that day soon come when every Parish Church would hold a service of praise and thanksgiving in honour of the patron saint of Wales. The lecturer then proceeded to trace the life of St. David from his birth, which was about 495—500.' Their hero was born near the city of St. David, and was sent to a monastery in Whitland for his education. He spent a re i. great deal of his time in the monastery. Severe penalties were imposed for crime here, and the meeting of the Synod (Council) revealed a low state of morals. St. David first declined to attend this Council meeting, but pressure was brought to bear upon him and he then attended. There were 2,000 persons pre- sent, and such was St. David's wonderful eloquence and influence that Pelagian- ism was soon swept out of the country. His death was supposed to hate occurred about 589. Proceeding, Mr. Williams asked why the leek was worn on March 1st ? He had asked this question to the children of the National School last March, and one of them replied: Because St. David liked leek broth." (Laughter.) It was inter- esting to note that Shakespeare dated the custom from the battle of Crecy, which was associated with St. Tavy's Day. In conclusion, Mr. Williams said: We should drive home, especially to our Non- conformist friends, that St. David was a Churchman and a Bishop as well as a patriot. It is astonishing how ignorant and bigoted some people are with regard to this. For instance, the Aberdare Schools were given a half holiday last year, and the Education Committee re- commended ths headmasters and mis- b eases to give a lesson in the morning on the patron saint. One headmaster (voluntary school) showed me a sketch of the lesson. In that sketch there was no reference to the fact that he was a Churchman and a Bishop. I think we ought to tell our friends that he was a Churchman. Wales is renowned for its Sunday Schools, its Festivals, and its love for the Bible. But I regret to state that this country to-day, morally and spiritually, is most low, lower in com- spiritually, is most low, lower in com- parison than any other Christian country in the world. We as Churchmen ought to do something to raise the country to a higher and purer state. This work lies at the door of the Church. There is no reason why Wales should not take the lead in bringing the other kingdoms of the world to become the kingdoms of our Lord Jesus Christ. (Applause.) In the course of discussion the chair- man, secretary, Mr. Geo. Morgan, Mr. Jas. James, and Mr. Wm. Parker took part. The Rev. Dewi Williams was heartily thanked for his address.
