Wattstown. An interesting performance of J. O. Johnson's cantata, The Rose Queen," was given at the Workmen's Hall, Ynys- hir, on Friday evening last by the choir of Carmel (Cong.), Wattstown. The con- ductor was Mr. Richard 0. Evans, Watts- town, a young musician, who performed his duties very creditably. The chief male part was successfully undertaken by Mr. Samuel Jones, who was the Traveller." Miss Blodwen Isaac, who possesses a sweet voice, filled the title role. The Fairy Queen was Miss Mary A. Stevens whilst others who took part in duets, &c., were the Misses Amy Smith, Jane Jones, Mary Lloyd, Mary Jones and Bella Lloyd. Masters Gordon Reeves, Phillip J. Williams and Daniel" Davies did very well in their respective parts. A pretty scene was that in which the Misses Agnes Hansford, Edna May Edwards and Bella Lloyd respectively presented to the Queen a crown, a sceptre and a garland. Two pleasing choruses, the "Gipsy Chorus" and the "Shep- herds' Chorus," were given in character. The accompaniments were played by Master Henry Draisey. In the absence of the advertised chairman, the Rev. J. Williams (pastor) ably presided.

Forth. Mr. Samuel Parr presided over the P.S.A. meeting held at the John Pugh Memorial Hall on Sunday afternoon last. Mr. Parr submitted the programme for the coming year, and made strenuous appeals to the congregation to affiliate themselves with the P.S.A. movement. He also gave a lucid illustration of the good works effected by their methods, and how it was possible to save a person that was on the down grade by, temper- ing "justice with mercy," and saving him even against himself. The following gentlemen sang very effectively: -Messrs. W. D. Lloyd, J. Andrews, and H. J. Lewis. The choir sang several choruses. The audience was the largest that has yet attended these services at Porth. On Friday afternoon last, a very dis- tressing accident occurred at the new washing machines at the, Lewis Merthyr Collieries. Whilst scraoing out some small coal from one of the bunkers, a young lad named Wm. Henry Price, aged 16 years, and residing at Berw Road, Pontypridd, suddenly fell into the large bunker. The lad was not immediately missed, as he had previously spoken of going home for dinner, in order to work on. However, as he did not turn up, search was made for him, and at 8 o'clock he was discovered in the bunker, having been smothered underneath some small coal. On Thursday evening last, a very im- pressive performance of the cantata, Star of Light," was given by the choir of the John Pugh Memorial Hall to a large and appreciative audience. The principal artistes were —Soprano, Madam Morris-Evans; contralto, Madam M. A. Lewis, Ynyshir; tenor, Mr. Dd. Thomas, Pontygwaith; bass, Mr. William Davies, Treherbert; whilst Mr. Tom Davies was the accompanist. Mr. Wm. Evans, Porth Farm, occupied the chair. After a brief address by the chairman, the opening chorus, "0 list, the wondrous story," was excellently rendered by the choir. The bass solo, "0 Lord of hosts," was very well sung, as also was the tenor solo. Give ear, 0 Shepherd of Israel." The alto solo, The children sleep and the chorus, Our flocks are sleeping in the fold/' were sung with telling effect. The semi-chorus, "Is it day?" followed by tilory to God," were delightfully sung, the choir exhibiting evidence of severe training. The soprano solo, Fear not," evoked great praise, but Madam Morris- Evans excelled in Oh, magnify the Lord" and Lo! the Star which they saw." The contralto solo, And they come with haste," also drew forth encomiums. The trio. Thou givest me wealth," the chorale, Led by the Star Divine," and the final chorus, Allelujah! Worship Jesus," were also well executed and appreciated. Mr. W. Woosnan, the conductor, is to be congratulated upon his initial attempt with cantatas.

Ogmore Vale. Lecture.—On Wednesday night, the 15th inst., the Rev. D. Griffiths, the popular blind preacher, of Cblwyn Bay, North Wales, delivered an excellent lec- ture at Calvary (E.B.) Chapel. The chair was taken by Mr. W. Richards (draper), in the absence of Mr. Joseph Abel. The lecturer's subject was The Notable Blind, and his discourse on the famous men who, blind themselves, yet did all in their power to make the lives of the, blind more enjoyable, was greatly appre- ciated. Mr. Griffiths possesses the happy knack of effectively mingling humour and pathos, and his wittv and humorous say- ings held his hearers' attention to the end. Smoking Concert.—A very enjoyable smoking concert, under the auspices of the Pontypridd Imperial Friendly Society, was held last Saturday night at the Llan- harran Arms. Dr. A. W. Anderson pre- sided over a good gathering. Musical items were provided by local artistes and were well appreciated. Tariff Reform.—The Conservative meet- ing which was to be held on Monday night at the Aber School unfortunately had to be postponed. The speaker, Mr. W. Dyson ("Will Workman" of The People"), was snowed up in Yorkshire, and could not, therefore, be present. Local Tariff Reformers were keenly disappointed.

Nantymoel. Death and Burial.—Sympathy is felt with Mr. Robert Williams, 2, Chapel Ter- race, Nantymoel, in the sad lose he and his family have sustained in the death of Mrs. Williams, which took place on Monday last. Mrs. Williams had been in delicate health for some time past, but the end was rather unexpected. She was 47 years of age, and leaves several daugh- ters, besides her bereaved husband, to mourn her loss. Ample nroof of the esteem in which she was held was afforded at the funeral on Thursday afternoon, when the attendance was very large, and of a most representative character. The interment took place in Blaenogwr Ceme- tery. The Rev. H. R. Byatt officiated at the house and graveside. The mourn- ing relatives included —Mr. Robert Wil- liams (husband); Miss Rose. Williams (daughter); Mr. and Mrs. David Wil- liams, Porth (son-in-law and daughter); Mr. and Mrs. Mostyn, Nantymoel (son- in-law and daughter); Misses Clara and Elsie Williams (daughters): Mr. and Mrs. Cook, Maesteg (brother and sister-in-law); Mr. and Mrs. Godfrey, Cardiff (brother- in-law and sister); Mrs. Rees, Ynyshir (sister); Mr Cook, Pontypridd (brother); Mr. and Mrs. John Williams, Porth (brother-in-law and sister); Mrs. Wil- liams, Merthyr (sister-in-law); Mrs. Her- bert, Merthyr (niece). Several wreaths were sent by friends, amongst them being a wreath from Mrs. Dutson, the Royal Oak, Maesteg. Dedication Ceremony.—The dedication of the new church of St. Paul's, Nanty- moel, was performed (in the absence of the Lord Bishop of Llandaff, through in- disposition) by the Ven. Archdeacon Edmondes yesterday afternoon. The church stands on high ground, well in the centre of Nantymoel, and is in the Gothic style, faced externally with hammerpoled native stone, with red pressed brick dressings. The roof and turret are covered with Carnarvon blue slates. The internal arrangements con- sist of a nave, chancel, vestry and organ chamber, and accommodation is provided for 264 worshippers and the choir. The internal walls are finished in stucco with a red pressed brick dado, and the seating and roof timbering are executed in pitch- pine. There is a high-pressure heating apparatus in a heating chamber beneath the organ chamber. The building, which is nicely fitted out with electric light, was erected by Messrs. Price Bros., Cardiff, at a cost of £1,668, and the architect was Mr. J. Cook Rees, Neath. Notwithstand- ing the snowy weather, a large congre- gation assembled at the opening cere- mony. The clergy present were the Revs. A. J. Edwards, M.A. (vicar), D. Michael Evans, B.A., D. Phillips, B.A. (Bridgend). Z. Williamson, M.A. (Margam), Alcwyn Jones, B.A. (Kenfig Hill), J.

There was an excellent attendance, and it is gratifying to know that at least one family very deserving of sympathy will be ensured bright Yuletide. The artistes were all local performers, with the ex- ception of Miss L. Brown, an Australian visitor now being trained at the Royal Academy of Music. She is a niece of Mr. Ebenezer Brown, grocer, Cwmparc, and staying temporarily with him. She readily volunteered her services upon knowing the object of the concert. She has an excellent voice, and has certainly a future,_ for the several songs she treated the audience, to were rendered with a verve and breadth of tone that were peculiarly charming. She sang Welsh and English songs. Other singers who parti- cipated in the programme were Miss May Middleton. Miss Sally Jones, Miss Lena Jones, Miss Edith Jones, Mrs. Iorwerth Davies, and little Miss Edith Brown, of Cwmparc. Male solos were given by Messrs. W. Butler, Dd.

We regret to record the death of Mrs. Thomas Owen, at the age of 69. Deceased was one of the oldest residents of Cwm- parc, and had reared a large family. She was a faithful and highly esteemed mem- ber of Salem Church, being the second oldest lady member of the local cause. The funeral took place on Friday, and in spite of the inclement weather, was well attended, the Rev. James Davies per- forming the funeral ceremonies. The Rev. W.

Mr. Edward Morgan, one of the most well known residents of Railway Terrace, died on Friday morning last, after several months' lingering illness.

The conductor, Mr. John Evans, and artistes worked hard to deserve the applause which was given them. Miss S. 0. Jones and Mrs. J. Evans were very efficient as organist and pianist respectively. The proceeds were towards the Sunday School fund. The following resolution was passed at a meeting of the teachers and adults of Bethany Sunday School on Sunday last: That next Sunday afternoon the school shall disband at 2.30. when a meet- ing shall immediately be held of all the adult scholars of the school, to which they earnestly invite all church members who have been interested in school work, and also those who have not yet interested themselves in this work, to discuss, the best means of organising their school to enable its work to be more efficient during the coming year."

The lecturer was closely followed as he de- scribed the House, and gave some of its history. He dwelt for some time upon the power of the Speaker, and told them how a Bill was passed. There were times when the old warrior was in deadly earnest, and then he would unconsciously burst out in eloquent Welsh against the "stumbling blocks" which prevented the House of Commons doing as much work as it ought to. He said that something must happen to have the stumbling blocks removed, that the country might be governed by the people and not the peers (loud applause). A vote of thanks to the speaker was proposed by the Rev. D. Williams (pastor of Horeb), and seconded by Mr. Nicholas. Mabon proposed a vote of thanks to the chairman, and County Councillor Enoch Davies, J.P., seconded. The proceeds were in aid of Mr. John Evans, 25, Dumfries Street, Treherbert, one of the oldest members of Horeb.
