Pentre.
Pentre. A well-atiended meeting was held on Thursday night at Huntley's Restaurant, Pentre, under the auspices of the Star of the Valley" Lodge. The chair was taken by Bro. Ralph Pomeroy, Chief Templar. A paper, entitled Christianity and Temperance," was read by the Elec- toral Superintendent, in the course of which strong remarks were noted regard- ing the stern duty of the churches in selecting as their officials persons who abstain from intoxicants. Several mem- bers spoke upon the subject, and the usual vote of appreciation was carried. We are glad to notice that the sug- gestion thrown out by the Rhondcla Leader a, week or so ago re sacred con- certs at the Tivoli on Sunday evenings, has been taken up and acted upon by the management. A sacred concert is announced for next Sunday, when local talent and a suitable sacred programme will be presented. This long-felt, want having been now supplied, the inhabi- tants of Pentre and district should take advantage of it, and thus reduce the rowdyism of our thoroughfares, which is a disgrace to a chapel-going community. It will surprise many of our Pentre readers to learn that Mr. Arthur D. Collier, son of the well-known proprietor of the Central Hotel, Pentre, has entered St. David's College, Lampeter. Arthur- as he is popularly known—left the district on Thursday last, having successfully sat" the entrance examination for that institution a few weeks ago. and intends taking a biennial course of theological instruction, which will, we hope, even- tually fit him for "the cloth." A worthy divine once said, that if one desires to hear good of one's self, one must either leave the neighbourhood in which one lives, or give up the ghost." As Mr. Collier has conceded with the former re- quirement, a few praiseworthy remarks would not be misplaced. Ten years ago he acted as assistant organist to Mr. Percie Smith—the well-known orchestrian -who then officiated at the organ of St. David's Church, Ton, and upon that gentleman relinquishing that position, voung Arthur was appointed by the vicar of the pari.h-Canon Lewis-to the post. Since that time he has never looked back, but has acquired many certificates for his proficient knowledge of music, which finally procured for him the L.R.C.M. degree. When his father decided to give up the bakery at Ton—where Arthur was employed—the now clerical student set himself to pursue a quiet course of study, with the result that another of Pentre's sons has entered within the sacred pre- cincts of St. David's College. The efficiency of St. David's Church Choir is largely due to the able manner in which the organist performed his duties, and his Jervices will be greatly missed by the church in general. Together with Mr. Tom Royall, he laboured assiduously in the production of several operettas, which have helped to largely diminish the debt existing on the newly. built Sunday School. During the pastorate of the Rev. J. C. Beynon, Arthur acted as conductor of the children's choir, which acquitted itself in no mean manner at several eisteddfodaui. His services were constantly in demand as a Band of Hope leader, social tea, and popuiar readings promoter, Sunday School teacher, and nearly every proceed- ing in connection with St. David's found Mr. Collier in full harness. It can be honestly said that no one worked more determinedly than he to reduce the debt of the school. We sincerely hope that

Porth.
Porth. A concert was held at the Cymmer Workmen's Library on Thursday evening in aid of Mrs. Thomas, librarian, who sus- tained the loss of her husband some time ago. The spacious hall was packed to overflowing, many persons failing to gain admittance. Mr. John Hughes (check- weigher), in the absence of Mr. Thomas Griffiths, M.E., J.P., presided. The con- cert opened with a fine march by the Cymmer Colliery Band, under the con- ductorship of Mr. J. F. Martyn. Semi- ramidi," Pat in America" (march), and "Homburg" (a set of waltzes) were also beautifully rendered by, the band. The following artistes were engaged, and sang with beautiful effect: —Master Trevor Watkins, the boy sopranoist, of Pentre; Mr. Dewi Davies baritone, Cymmer Mr. Tom Richards, the popular tenor, Porth; Miss Lily Mansel Edwards, contralto, Porth the Sisters Thomas, Porth; accom- panist, Mr. W. E. Jenkins, Porth. A concert was held also on Saturday even- inp" when the Cymmer Male Voice Party assisted the above artistes. Both con- certs proved to be unusually successful, and closed with the Welsh National Anthem. The half-yearly special services of the Salem (W.B.) Church were held on Sun- day and Monday, when the Revs. W. Morris, D.D., Treorchy, and Peter Jones, Colwyn Bay, delivered most eloquent ser- mons to very large and appreciative con- gregations. At the Welsh Congregational Church, the Rev. W. J. Rees, Horeb, Llandyssul, officiate.d. The services were very nicely conducted, and the rev. gentleman acquit- ted himself well. The singing at this church is excellent. The John Pugh Memorial Hall services were also very, successful. Mr. R. H. Samuel, Trevecca College, conducted the services, and gave a very able address to his audience. He was assisted by Mr. W. Davies, Cymmer, who sang beautiful solos. These services throughout were very much anpreciated. The Blaina Brass Band spent a week- end at, Porth, and gave the Salvation Army folk a rare treat in the way of music. The successful achievements of the Porth Harmonic Society, under the able conductorship of Mr. Rhys Evans, during the last few years have not only gratified them in their productibn, but has also served to stimulate and inspire them with an ambition to soar higher in musical circles year by year. Handel, Haydn, Mendelssohn, and other great composers have in their turn been performed with this most excellent choir. Not only do they possess the finest and richest voices in the locality, but they also-at a. con- siderable expense—employ the most eminent artistes in the Kingdom to per- form the principal parts. This Christmas they are determined to eclipse all their previous performances, and intend to pro- duce Spohr's "Last Jpdgment," a most beautiful oratorio; and also Rossini's "Stabat Mater," another superb composi- tion, which defy the power of words to describe. Nothing is being left undone by this Society that will help to make their performance on the great festival day a success. They are now at the completion of the books, thus ample time is afforded for embellishments and "finesse," and their success is very confidently assured. The second of the series of lectures in connection with the Y.M.C.A. was delivered at Salem (W.B.) Chapel on Tues- day evening, when Mr. F. Ormiston Smith, delivered a most thrilling oration —supplemented with wit and humour—011 Climbing the Dolomites to a very large audience. The lecture was illustrated by most beautiful biographic pictures. This being the first of its kind ever produced at, Porth, it proved unusually entertain- ing, and was very much appreciated by the audience, which, by the way, con- sisted chiefly of teachers and pupil teachers. The lecturer was accorded generous applause.

Pontygwaith. Last Friday evening, under the auspices of the Literary and Debating Society, the first debate of the session was held. The subject under discussion was, Should c the House of Lords be Abolished? The affirmative was supported by Mr. Fred Hughes (the Brewery), and the negative by Mr. Edward Davies (the Schools). Two excellent papers were read, which were followed by an interesting and lively w debate. The interest taken in this debate is gratifying to the officers, as nearly a hundred were present. Last Thursday evening, the harvest thanksgiving services were commenced at St. Mary Magdalene Church, when the Rev. Vaughan W. T. Rees, B.A.. curate of Canton, Cardiff,, preached. The rev. gentleman is the son of the vicar of Tylors- town. On Sunday morning, the service was conducted by the Rev. P. H. Jones, L.D.; and in the afternoon and evening, bv the Rev.

the members of St. David's Church, yea, the whole parish, will show their appre- ciation of Mr. Collier's labours in a very tangible form, and thus honour one to whom honour is due. Apart from church life, his services were constantly re- quisitioned as pianist at all local parties, dances, and social evenings, where his performances invariably proved his genius. We wish him all success at Lampeter. The Young Wales L—L League has at last settled down to work, the session being informally inaugurated on Wednes- day evening last, when an excellent paper on The House of Lords was read by the Rev. J. W. Matthews. Dr. Thomas presided over a. large meeting, which was held at the Old Higher Grade School. Mr. Matthews, of course, took an un- compromising attitude of hostility towards the other place," and pointed out how it had been the bulwark of English Toryism, and had consistently thwarted or mangled all Liberal legislation in the face of the expressed will of the people through its elected representatives." An interesting and highly informing dis- cussion followed, Mr. I. T. Rees, Ton, leading off for the defence of the vener- able institution in a, speech brimful of happy hits, rich humour, and sardonic reflections on human conduct in general. CKner speakers included Mr. Jacques Thomas (Bazaar), Mr. Davies (Hodges), Mr. Morris, Mr. B. P. Johns, Mr. W. L. I Jones and others. On Friday evening of this week, a, debate will take place on Socialism," the respective sides being taken tip by Messrs. E. V. Davies and Ben Jones. The Salvation Army has just held a very successful Young People's Harvest Festival. It commenced on Saturday by a cinematograph display. On Sunday morning there was a, directory examina- tion on various Biblical subjects, conducted by J. S. M. Ingram. In the afternoon, a very amusing sketch, entitled The Slumbering Soldier," was, given. On Sunday evening, an address was delivered to the young people by Mrs. E. T. Davies, wife of Councillor E. T, Davies, of Maindy i Crescent, Ton, which was very interesting to all. Mrs. O. Williams, the wife of our genial postmaster, who was also present, hau. promised to render a few solos, but was unable to do so owing to a severe cold. The hall, which had been beauti- fully decorated with fruit, flowers, and vegetables, was on Monday the scene of an interesting competition, viz., the best dressed basket of fruit. The following were the successful competitors: —Evelyn Ingram, Ada Morehen, Amelia Gay, Bessie Williams,. Tommy Baker, May Howells, Eva Dutfteld, and Grace Eddy. The prizes iwere awarded on Monday evening by Mrs. Davies, when a further display of living pictures took place. The Brass and Concertina Bands rendered selections at each meeting. The many friends of the Rev. R. J. Bowen, B.A., and Mrs. Bowen assembled at the Ystrad Railway Station, mid-day Monday, to bid them God-sneed on their departure fnom Pentre to the mission field. As already stated in our columns, Mr. Bowen has been appointed by the London Missionary Society to labour at Madras in succession to the Rev. Dr. Maurice Phillips, who has retired on account of ill-health after 44 years' ser- vice. Mr. and Mrs. Bowen, in company with eighteen other missionaries, will sail next Saturday from the East India: Dock, London, on board the s.s. "Coleonda." In the meantime, Mr. Bowen is to speak at the missionary meeting held this week at Liverpool in connection with the Autumnal Assembly of the Congregational Union of England and Wales. It appears that Mr. Bowen is the only Welshman appointed by the L.M.S. in India at pre- sent. His appointment is an important one, as his predecessor—who was also a Welshman—was termed lately by the Rev. Dr. Wardlaw Thompson as the great evangelist of India."

Ramah Chapel Choir, of which deceased was a member, was present, and sang beautiful hymns en route to the burial ground, Treorchy Cemetery, under the conductorship of Mr. Saml. Thomas. Much sympathy is felt in this district for the bereaved relatives in their sad and sudden bereavement. Mrs. Turner, an aged woman, residing at 87, Bute Street, passed away on Satur- day last. Ed. Thomas Jones, the 12-year-old son of Mr. Joseph Jones, Tylacoch Place, Treorchy, met his death on Tylacoch mountain on Saturday. Deceased was, in companv with his young brother, making a "leTel" in the mountain side, when a, portion of the roof fell in, and a stone fell on the back of deceased, killing him instantly. Death occurred on Saturday also of Miss Mary. Ann Williams, daughter of Mr. W. Williams, 27, Senghenydd Street, Treorchy, who had suffered a protracted illness. Deceased was a member of Hermon (W.C.) Church, and was also a member of the chapel orchestra, where her demise will be keenly felt.
