The scheme pro- vides, when a church is required in any part of dlat country, to purchase the land for the purpose, and give it free to the promoters.

LLANWENOG OIUTUAiiY.—On Wednesday, the 28tli May, the remains of the late Nurse Davies, of London, were laid to rest at Brynteg burial ground among mani- festations of great sorrow and sympathy. The de- ceased lady was the daughter of the lato Mr. James Davies a.nd Mrs. Davies, of Rhiwson-uchaf, Llan- j wenoj,, and was one of a large family of children, all of whom, with the exception of three, have been cut down in the prime of life. Th. above family, when at Rhiwson-uchaf, were greatly respected, being all of a most kind and genial disposition. The deceased lady was trained for the post of nurse, and she seemed to be naturally cut out for this merciful work, for her unfailing kindness and tenderness could not but alleviate the sufferings of the unfortunate, ones—to hundreds of whom she ministered in the Metropolis, and wherever she went sho endeared herself to one and all. A short time ago she came to stay with her sister and brother- in-law (Mr. and Mrs. Thomas, Carmarthen), as she felt her strength giving way, but on April 1st last she received an earnest appeal from a lady in Lon- don to go back to attend her, as she had formerly done, and so she insisted upon going, as her tender nature could not refuse; but. alas! her frail con- stitution broke down, and she passed peacefully away in London on May 23rd in the presence of her dear si si er. Mrs. Thomas, of Carmarthen, who with her husband ha.d gone to nurse her in her last days. The following Tuesday night the remains were conveyed by train to be buried at Brynteg accord- ing to her wish. Arriving at Llanybyther by the 7 a.m. train on Wednesday, the coffin was con- veyed to Glanteify. the residence of Mrs. Davies, her sister-in-law. At 1 p.m. a short service was conducted in tno house by the Rev. J. Morris, vicar, and the Rev. D. James, Rhydybont At Brynteg the Rev. I). Jaincs again officiated, and also at the graveside; whilst the Rev. J. Davies, Alltyplaca. offered up a fervent grayer at the chapel. The numerous wreaths sent by her late employees in London and other places wtiere she had -been ministering to the sick clearly showed the high respect in which she was held and all who knew her testified this day. "that a dear one was laid to rest. Mrs. Davies-Evans. Highmead. also sent a beautiful wreath. The chief mourners were Mrs. T. Lewis (sister), and Mr Thomas, Carmar- then. Mrs. Davies. Glanteify (sister-in-law); Nurse Davies. Lampeter (niece). Mr. Duvies (nephew), and Mrs Davies. Cardiff. Mr. Thomas. Brynlawe (brother-in-law), and Master Thomas. She leaves to mourn her loss two sisters and one brother the latter of whom is in America, and with all of whom wo extend our sincere sympathy. THE LATE MRS. ROBERTS. TYNYPORTH.-On Tues- day morning. May 26th last, when nature was at. its best, death cut down the above lady in her prime of life at the early age of 46. and the sari news east qune a zloom over the whole neighbourhood, as no one thought that the end was so near. The deceased lady began ailing since November last but even to the end she seemed quite cheerful and was out of doors even a fortnight prior to her death. LATrs. Roberts was the voungest daughter of the late Mr. and M rs. Evans. Dohvinfach, both of whom had pre- deceased her only a short time ago comparatively. Tile following Friday a large concourse of jieople came to pay her the last tribute of respect and to convey her remains to her resting place at Aber- duar, Llanybyther. At the house the Rev. J. Davies (U.). Alltyplaca, and the Rev. E. L. Hamer, curate, officiated, whilst at the Chapel, the Rev. J. Davies. officiated in the unavoidable absence of the pn-for. Rev. Spencer Jones. At the graveside the Rev. D. James, Rhydybont, offered up a fervent prayer. The chief mourners were Mr. J. W\ Roberts (husband), 'Master Evan George. Walter John and Tom Roberts (children), Mr. T. Evans, Liverpool (brother). Mr. Saunders Davies Felin- fnch. Ystrad (cousin), and Mrs. Davies. Rev. Aeron Jenkins, M. A., vicar of Pembrey (cousin. Mrs. Dorking ton, Stockport (sister-in-law), Mr. Evan B. W. Thomas (nephew). Mrs. Jenkins, Glanwc-rn. Sever d beautiful wreaths covered the coffin. There is left to mourn the loss of a good wife and a tender mother, a husband and three young boys with whom we deenlv sympathise as a whole neighbourhood and may the Almighty them under the shadow of his wings. AGRICLT.T1"R\L SOCIETY.—A general meeting of the above Society was held at Drefach, on Friday "Veiling May 29th. when Capt. B. Davies-Evans. Peterwell. occupied the chair. The Secretary read eut the Balance i-vh tell showed a balance to the good. The- question of holding the show at Dre- fach and Llanybyther. in alternate years was dis- cussed at some length, but nothing definitely was arrived at. and the question will again be finally settled at a meeting held in the autumn. A vote of thanks was passed to Mr. Evan Thomas. Aber- nant. and Mr. Davies. Brynhegfaen. for haulage of goods grat s for the Show Day, a* was also a vote of thanks to the Chairman.

LLANFIELER PERSONAL.—Miss Davies, Shop, Lliajigeler., jias just received a copy of "The Sharon Telegraph, U.S.A.. which contaui- the following reference to her mother and her svster: —Mrs. Mary A. Llew- ellyn of 51 Hiwabic Avenue, nas returned from Cleveland. 0., whore she was visiting her mother, who has been qujt, ill. but is at present conval- escing."—Last, week the Rev. Daniel Evans, B.A., the popular- and energetic curate of New Quay visited his old home at Llangeler. He looked very well. It was very pleasant to learn that he is the scout master at New Quay. It is by attending to the child that the church is to attain strength and success. It may well be said, to put it proverbially, "If you want a man take care of the child." We cannot, but write a word in favour of the Boy Scout movement ifs ue pa,s. This movement deserves overy support as it is a means to bring back robust manhood and racial regeneration. It tends to up good character and that priceless possession called self dependence. It supplies out-door ex- perience under expert guidance and discipline. The open air, in field and woodland, in valley and moun- tain makes towards sound health. It couples to- t gether the theoretical and the practical. It loads the child to see more of the country, to understand more and to enjoy more. It teacher- and trains the boy in a very effective manner something about what we call reverence .and the courtesies of our social existence. I wish every young boy who reads the JOVRNAI. were a boy scout. It Is, un- doubtedly. an excellent movement. Moron MISHAP.—Last Friday between ten and eleven o'clock at night "Buckley's motor lorry ran into the Mill stream which runs a long the roadside at Pentrecourt and got stuck. It was not removed till mid-day on Saturday. The car was not dam- aged neither were tiie men injured. The nigiif was dark and foggy with a drizzling rain and this more than likely a mounts for the accident. The motor Mien W"I"" hospitably received bv the villagers, who al-o gave every help to set the car in motion after its unfortunate breakdown. ACCIDENT.—On Friday, the 29th ult.. a nasty accident befe! Dan Lloyd, the son of Duvid Lloyd. Blaenllain. As he was boing "(lawn to school that afternoon in company with a number of other children, a waggon passed at full speed, and accord- ing to the custom, all too prevalent in the district. he caught hold of it, but being unable to keep up with its pftco. he tried to release h:8 hold. and in 'doing so was hurled a couple "f )1(10. to the hedge. Dr. Evans. Lhmdyssul. was immediately sent for. nnd on his examining him. ir was found that he had fractured his collar l one. However, we are clad^.o state thai the child is making every satisfactory pro- gress. -n

There are no signs of all oarlf settlement of the building disunite at Llanelly. whore the carpenters have been out on strike four weeks. The men demand a increase of Id. per hour.

CHURCH DEFENCK.—After the Whit-Monday Festi- val was over, a Church Defence meeting was held at 5 p.m. on the Castle grounds. The Chairman. Mr. Roy Evans, in his address remarked that two years ago he prcsidt. d ovtr similar meeting, but in h'.s opinion they were nearer a brighter dawn e, they were teen. The Bill had been read for third time in the Commons, but it must bo read vwi e in the L'v.-per Chamber. Homo Rule would firs: have to be faced with its dire consequences. Tlw I country would have a chance to record their opinion at the general election in 1915. There was not a single logical argument m favour of the passing of this iniquitous Bill. It was not a question of Church and chapel, and a large number of Nonconformists wore thoroughly ashamed of tho Bill. In spite of the chapel sc:>w over 100.000 Nonconformists had • i zrsified thei.. disapproval of it. It was the duty of every Chuivbman to explain the provisions of the Dill to everyone. The speaker failed to see what grievances had tlw :)l'c()j]f{1!'lI1: and what priviii- had cli- Church. Th" Nonconformists wore to exactly the same extent as Chmchpeople. The Rev. Gruffydd Evans. B.D., speaking in Welsh, remarked that the bitterness had to a certain extent been romped by the largo num- ber of Nonconformists who had signed the protest. Ir was their duty to pass a vot., of thanks to those people. The present Government only thought of votes. A great change had taken place in the ideas of the Nonconformists. (Fifty years ago they thought that the State ought to have nothing to do with education and religion. That opinion was now changed. The idea of disestablishing and disendow- ing the Church was to pave thy way for Welsh Home Rule. The meanest thing however was the taking of the churchyards, many of whom were very old. The speaker tli. n out the following resolution to the meeting and which was unanimously carried:— "Ein bod ni Egiwyswyr D. tVladol Emlyn ao Is-Aeron. yn ymgynulledig yn nhref C as t e 11 n e wy d d I'.lm lvn. Llungwyn. 1914. yn ymuno datgan en diolch gv.T'-s^caf i'r brodyr Ymneillduol hyny ag arwydd- asant v Prote-d diweddar yn erbyn yr anfadwaith o vspoilio meddianau cyfreithlawn .-ten Fam Eglwvs y Cymrv." The Rev. J. H. Jenkins, rector of Cil- rhedvti. in supjxirting th N'oLlii.¡¡¡. said it was really a f ha tne that such a prof"-t was necessary. The four Welsh dioceses were the oldest in the pro- vince of Canterbury. It was not a Liberal measure by any m- ans. Tho age demanded our co-operation to combat with the evils of rhe day. The Prayer Book was more Radical than either Asquith or Lloyd Ger.rge. The Museum had ref1H.d to pollute their coffers wi+h su 'h ill-gotten funds. Wales in every way owed a deep debt of gratitude to the Church for what its sons had done in the past. The success- ful meeting was -brought to a close br the singing of O fryniau Caersalem."

NATIONAL LIBRARY OF WALES.—Llandilo Urban District Council at their meeting on Tuesday evening had under ■consideration Sir John Wliliamss cation for a subscription in aid of the Building Fund of the National Library of Wales. On the motion o. the Rev. E. L. Jones seconded by Mr. D. P. Davies it was decided that the application be not entertain-d The former pointed out that the County Council had already subscribed to it. It seemed to be a matter more for the srenerosity of the rich than the poor. Havinsr regard to the present state of their finances it would be better for this Council to be just to ttie tradespeople of the town Mr. Pritchard Davies said the County Council had subscribed £ o(X>, and that covered the whole County. INSPECTION OF MILCH Cows.-Another matter which was debated at some length was a motion which stood in the name of Mr. Claud R. Davies, was that all cow kept by purveyors of milk in the town should be periodically inspected. The dis- cussion. however, revealed that there were only about half-a-dozon cows kept for the purpose in the town, and that by far the greatest quantity of milk used came from the rural district. It was, therefore, thought by members that the best plan would be to get. tbe Rural District Council to take the matter up. The Clerk pointed out that the County Council were doing the work now through- out the county, and would do it at Llandilo if neces- 6ary. VACANT Ho-usEs.-It transpired from the report of the rate collector. Mr. Ambrose, that rates due from vacant houses in Llandilo amounts to £ 52.

LLANGADOCK AND LLANNLO DEANERIKS SUNDAY SCHOOL FESTIVAL, May 26th.- The true children of the British Church have always regarded Yr Hen Fam with love and veneiation, but never more so than on these days of stress for never before has the grond old mother ni^rc- shown her irlonous motherhood. He c nef thought is fo the welfare of h<r children and while her enemies are foaming with bafficd rage, while warding off their attacks, she pursues her work witn renewed energy in spite of all the calumness so cruelly and needlcsslv hurled at her.

The Rev Canon Williams, at the close of a powerful address, made a touching reference to the recent death of the choir conductor at Llanwrda. who. for the last twenty years, had faithfully served his Church in that capacity, and had been eagerly I anticipating tiie fo*t:va! up to the day 01 111s death. There was not a dry eye in the Church when the congregation stood up to mark its sympathy with the relatives of the deceased, aiic-i to pay a well- earned tribute to tiie memory of the departed. An intense silence reigned when tljo grand old words ''Dechreu canu. dechreu canmol" were being read out. Who will over forsret the- spontaneous volume of heartfelt song that followed the words. It is with great regret that I have to record the sever- ance of tho Rev. D. Davies. of Cilycwm. with the festival. From the commencement he has been in- defatigable in his efforts to make the festival a success. Our best wishes go with him to Fishguard, and if hp does as much for his new flock as he has for us. then they will have every reason to be satis- fied.—D.Y.L.

It appears that on Monday, the 25th ult., he had gone out to the fields for the purpose of cutting some bean sticks, and after accomplishing that purpose he is supposed to have lighted some furze, as is the custom in the countrv this time of the year after the drying up of same with the hot weather, and a fit must have over- taken him, and he fell into the fire. The familv. thinking he was rather long and becoming uneasy, Vl his daughter. Mary Leigh, went in search of him. and found him as stated.
