Bristol, West of England, and Wales Trades and Operative Society. Presentation at Ynyshir. A meeting was held on Thursday even- ing last at the Workmen's Hall, Ynyshir, in connection with the Bristol, West of England and South Wales Trades and Operatives Society. Two objects prompted the meeting. The splendid concert was given for the benefit of the funds to- wards the widows, orphans and needy cases in connection with the local lodge. The other object was to make several pre- sentations, the most notable being that to the (secretary, Mr. W. M. Morgan. Mr. Harold Kay (general manager, Ynys- hir and Wattstown Co-operative Society) presided over a large, gathering. In a very interesting and able speech, Mr. Kay dwelt with the objects of the| meeting, as well as on the more enter- taining side. He expressed his apprecia- tion of the action of the lodge, and thanked those who had come to lend their support. Mr. J. Howells, A.T.L.O.M., who ably played all the accompaniments, opened the programme with a finely executed overture. Mr. Arthur G. Thomas, the popular concert artiste, followed with "Will o' th' Wisp," and in response, to An encore gave Annie Laurie." Later, Mr. Thomas gave "Y Banerwr" in good style. Miss May Gullett, of Porth, very charmingly gave The Better Land." The comedian of the evening was Mr. Tom Jenkins, who created quite a furore by his humorous selections and fine representation. Another well-known artiste who delighted the. large audience was Miss Esther Cooper, who sang Alone on the Raft," by special request. Mr. James O. Llewellyn, the tenor, gave a highly creditable performance and ren- dered "Lolita," a Spanish serenade, in good style. Loud applause greeted the unusual feature in the programme, namely, the. step dancing of Mr. Wm. Isaac, Wattstown. Mr. David Jones, Mardy, who holds the high position of President of the Society, then rose to make the presentations to Mr. William M. Morgan, the secretary of the local lodge. The first presentation took the form of a, certificate of merit, the second an emblem, these being from the Society, and the third a handsome ,roll-top desk. presented by the lodge. Mr. Jones said he felt himself honoured to be chosen to make these presentations to Mr. Morgan, and expressed the keen pleasure he had derived from the pro- gramme. He then gave an interesting resume of the history of the Society, pointing out the very striking advance made in membership, subscriptions, &e. I The surplus at their disposal in 1893 was £ 4,000, whilst to-day it stood at E100,000 (applause). He was that night called upon to make presentations to one who had considerably helped to bring the, Society to its present state applause). Were it not for Mr. Morgan and men of his kind, the Society would not be in the splendid position it is to-day. Mr. Mor- gan had served as secretary for ten years, and had served the Society and his lodge in a highly creditable manner. Mr. W. M. Morgan, who was en- couragingly received, thanked Mr. Jones for his extremely kind remarks, the lodge for their generosity, and those present for their kindness. He deeply—more deeply than he could say—appreciated it (tll) and would work with the one object of keeping the Society on the path of progress. He only asked for their con- tinued co-operation and encouragement (hear, hear). If he valued one thing more. than another, it was the certificate of merit, which, although least in actual value, was a possession he would greatly cherish. He had not done all the work of the lodge. Great credit was due to the ether officers, and he would venture to say he had the best lot of fellow- officers in the Society (applause). A letter from Mr. J. C. Fox, general secretary to the Society, was read to the meeting, expressing the writer's warm approval of the presentations and best wishes for a successful meeting. After a capital rendition by Mr. Arthur Thomas, Mr, Noah Pulling, Fern- dale (a member of the General Council), delivered a stirring address. Few were in a better position than he to judge Mr. Morgan's worth, and he readily testified to his deserving character. He was glad to see so many ladies present. People were too prone to overlook the ladies in connection with these societies. It was the ladies who often kept lodges up by their keen attention to payment of sub- scriptions. Mr. Pulling, in a, singularly interesting manner, then dealt with the financial matters of the Society, proving, or, as he. said, giving the lie to the state- ment sometimes made that working men were not thrifty. He then proceeded with the presentations of emblems to members who had introduced the largest number of new members, punctuating each presentation with a short and eloquent address of encouragement and approbation. The recipients were Bro. W. T. Webber (vice-president), who was second on the list to the secretary; Bro. John Pugh (president of the lodge), Bro. James Pugh (vice-president), Bro. David John Williams, Bro. Hugh Edwards (who had only been in membership three months), and Bro. Richard Lloyd. After the presentations, Miss Esther Cooper impressed all listeners by a ren- dering of Canwyll fy llygaid wyt ti," Mr. Tom Jenkins gave another inimitable comic and encore, Mr. James Llewellyn sang, and Mr. Isaac gave a clog dance. Mr. Wm. Morgan proposed, and Mr. John Pugh seconded, a vote of thanks to Mr. Kay for his able presidency, the latter briefly responding, after which the Welsh and English National Anthems were sung by- the audience, led by the artistes.

Concert at Clydach Vale. The third annual concert of the Clydach Vale Musical Society was held at Soar (W.C.) Chapel on Thursday evening last. During the past two years the Society, under the conductorship of Mr. David Pugh, have given performances of St. Paul," "Mount of Olives," and "Hymn of Praise," the concerts invariably being most successful. This year, a miscel- laneous programme was submitted, the choir being assisted bv the following artistes: —Soprano, Miss Mary Ann Davies, Clydach Vale; contralto, Madame Annie John-Basham, Pontllanfraith tenor, Mr. David Thomas Blaengarw; bass, Mr. D. Aeron Parry, New Tredegar. The solo instrumentalists were Mr. T. J. Hughes (violin) and Mr. J. Haydn Jones (piano); whilst Miss Harriet Jones played the accompaniments. There were two very interesting features to the concert. One was the appearance of a soprano and the instru- mentalists from the immediate locality, and the other was the engagement of the remaining artistes, who had never been before, heard in the district. Surely, more interest ought to have been shown by the inhabitants in a concert with such interesting features. Those who did attend were given a splendid musical treat, the. concert being one of the best ever held in the district. It was gratifying to notice the warm receptions given to the three local solo- ists, and still more was it that their efforts were so well appreciated. Miss Davies sang "The Promise of Life" (Cowen) and" The Holy Temple (Gounod), and was recalled after each solo. Encores were also given Mr. Hughes for a well-played violin solo, and Mr. Jones for his playing of Stemdale Bennet's Rondeau a la Polonaise." The appearance of Mr. Aeron Parry was eagerly looked forward to, for he was the successful bass soloist at the London National Eisteddfod. He sang The Planter" (Adams) and "Arise, ye sub- terranean winds (Purcell). Mr. David Thomas, a very successful competitor at our large eisteddfodau, sang Deeper and deeper still and Waft her angels," and Come to me." Mrs. Basham's solos were" Life's Vision" and Wert thou a Slave." The three artistes were in splen- did voice, and such was the excellent im- pression made by them, that they will certainly be heard again in the locality. The duets, 0 lovely Peace and Flow gently, Deva," were also given by the two ladies and two gentlemen respectively. The choir's efforts were 0 gladsome light" and" Efe a ddaw." In the absence of Mr. L. W. Llewelyn (the president of the Society), Mr. Jas. Evans, C.C., presided. The heartiest thanks were accorded the members of Soar for the loan of the chapel.

The Land of the Dollar. Skyscrapers and Ideals. Interesting Lecture at Tonypandy The Rev. John Thomas, M.A., Liver- pool, paid a visit to Mid-Rhondda on Thursday last, and delivered a lecture at Ebenezer Chapel, Tonypandy, the Rev. E. Richards presiding. The lecture, which was entitled" The. Land of the Stars and Stripes," was full "of interest, the speaker giving his audience a graphic account of his recent visit to America. The lecturer stated that the United States was not to he measured by its hills and dales. It was only just shaping, I and when the many nations in America would become one, when the crude forces had matured and become consolidated, the national life of the States would be. very great; but at present the minds of the people were occupied with an idea of greatness. The thing that struck a person visiting America, said the speaker, was that everything is measured by dollars. With some, the gigantic skyscrapers and the American Dollar was a great boast; but the lecturer stated that when he looked upon those magnificent build- ings, he measured their greatness not by the dollar," but by their worth in archi- tecture and genius. Continuing, the speaker said he sailed on the 3rd of July and crossed the Atlantic on the biggest boat in the Cunarcl service, which was commanded by a Welshman, Captain Pritchard. With belated breath he was glad to say the boat was an English one and not American. Fortunately, said the speaker, the Atlantic did not belong, to the Americans—only that part around the North Pole (laughter). The first thing that created an impression on his mind as he entered New York was that great Statue of Liberty. When he (the lec- turer) saw it, he felt the great ideals of human life rush upon him. He felt the great continent had taken this idea of liberty as its ideal. Continuing, the rev. gentleman said that to see some of the grandest scenery a person would have to go at least several thousand miles, but as far as he went the country was most charming; the mag- nificent lakes, the lovely plains and beau- tiful valleys, when once seen, would never be forgotten. When he saw the autumn tints colouring the copses, he realised that he had never seen anything in Nature so much like fairyland. He was bound to admit that England could not approach it for aitumn tints; it was as if the Divine Painter had painted it. The speaker then described the horrors of Chinatown." He spoke of the dens where the light of God was excluded from entering. May God," said the lecturer, save England from having a China- town.' The rev. gentleman stated he went to America chiefly to pay a visit to the reli- gious conference at which all denomina- tions were represented. Conferences were a great feature in the United States. He (the speaker) had preached in an auditory to an audience of over 6,000 people on a Sunday morning, and the American friends were doing their utmost to secure British preachers to occupy their plat- forms at the forthcoming summer confer- ence. While on his visit to the States, he had felt the pulse of the American religious life, and found that it was pass- ing through a very critical period, espe- cially in the pulpits. A number of preachers were found taking refuge in talking about political topics. What was wanted, he said, was less history, less philosophy, and more Christ. He was glad, however, to find in the. very heart of Chicago, and right.in the heart of the scepticism of that city, a mighty insti- tution where could be heard the sound of that old, old story of ,the cross of Christ. The Americans loved broad and extrar- vagant humour. They were people that were very alert and very attentive, but one thing they needed to learn was reposefulness. The, sense of America's hospitality was greatly enhanced by America's sunny sky. The heart of the United States was looking towards Eng- land, and the pendulum of independence had begun to swing back. They were gradually coming back to the cradle of their birth. The heart of the nation was getting nearer to stability, and in the long run it would be like loyal England of the days gone by, but with a vaster nation and a greater multitude of people. There was to be a still greater and clearer vision of a coming federation, in which America would be seen clasping hands with those across the sea, and a federation which would keep the mind at peace (applause). The proceeds of the lecture were for Mr. John Ellis, who is now undergoing a training for the ministry. In the afternoon, the Rev. John Thomas delivered a sermon to a large congre- gation.

COMPLETELY CURED. SUFFERED WITH KIDNEY TROUBLE FOR TWELVE YEARS, AND CURED BY DR. MORSE'S INDIAN ROOT PILLS. I had always enjoyed good health up to the time I was 21," writes Mr. A. Sampson, 7, Jubilee Street, Bedminster, Bristol" when I had a severe attack of Scarlet Fever, which left me with kidney trouble. I suffered from this complaint for 12 years. About- three years ago Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills were brought under my notice, and I was recommended to try them. I gave the Pills a fair trial, and I am now completely cured. I am a bricklayer by trade, which necessitated I me stooping a great deal; this no doubt aggravated the disease; but at the pre- sent time I am enjoying perfect health, brought about, I am certain, by Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills. I recommend them to all my friends, not only for the kidneys, but also for Constipation and Indigestion. You may make what use you like of this testimonial." Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills get at the cause by cleansing the stomach, purifying the blood, and aiding the digestion and assimilation of food, and are a positive and permanent cure for Indigestion, Biliousness, Constipation, Impure Blood, and Female Ailments.

Llwynypia. I A lecture was given at Bethania Chapel, Llwynypia, on Wednesday, the 24th ult., by Mr. Ifano Jones, Cardiff. The Rev. J. Morgan (pastor) presided. The lecturer's subject was Talhaearn," the old Welsh poet, whose poetry was mostly written in a tavern, with the harp at his side. The lecturer proceeded to portray the life of Talhaearn, which proved to be very interesting, and also recited many of the old bard's amusing and interesting poems. A vote of thanks to Mr. Jones for his excellent lecture was accorded at the close of the meeting.
