When to Subdue Lights in Breconshire. The operation of the Summer Time Act, the difference between the time of sunset and sunrise at Greenwich and in Breconshire, and the two hours' allowance of the new Lighting Restriction Order, combine to make it quite a task in arithmetic to ascertain the exact time by the clock when lights should be subdued in this county To save our readers the work of calculation we give below the times for the ensuing week and we propose to continue pub- lishing the information as long as the lighting restrictions are in force. p.m. Aug. 17th 10-33 „ 18th 10.31 19th 10-29 „ 20th 1027 21st 1025 22nd 10 23 „ 23rti 1021 i. 24th 10-18

An Appeal for the Union of the Chapels in Brecon. To the Editor of the County Times. Sir,-At this critical period of our history, there is a splendid opportnuity of uniting as one body all the Nonconformist cbapels in Brecon. Surely it should be an easy accomplishment after all these years of separation, and with little real difference except the management. Christian unity ought to prevail now in the midst of our great national calamity-a calamity caused by no apparent reason but greed ia civilised countries from which we have to defend ourselves. Let us then be up and doing to create a new atmosphere of united Christian liviug. I think there should be one large chspel and one minister for all, and opportunity given to the others to take service for their King and °" Country, either as chaplains or helpers in other i ways. It is painful 10 witness the meagre attendance of the chapela in Brecon. Although it is said wherever two or three are gathered together in My Name, there am I in the midst of them," I believe that referred cheifly to medin(8 in private houses. As for the State supported church, she will have her day of reform, but the writer believes that this would be a great reform for the Nonconformist chapels. Yours in great hope of the future reformation of the whole world. K. H.
