.... FOREST OF TREES.
FOREST OF TREES. Another Successful Brecon Effort. The "Forest of Trees" held in Brecon Market Hall on the 10th inst., in aid of various funds connected with the Churches of S. John and S. Mary was an extraordinary success. There was a fine array of trees bearing presents, numerous heavily laden stalls, and plenty of "side-shows," and the effect in the evening, when all the lights were blazing, was most picturesque. There was the usual strong array of helpers, and the attendance was very large probably a record. The opening ceremony was performed by Mrs H. A. Christy, of Llangoed Castle, Llyswen, who was accompanied on the platform by the Bishop of Swansea, the Mayor and Mayoress of Brecon (Mr and the Hon. Mrs W. F. Parry deWinton, and Mr A. H. Shapland (one of the churchwardens of S. John's.) The Bishop of Swansea, in introducing Mrs Christy said the appearance of the hall indicated that the "Forest of Trees" had lost none of its popularity and that it would be as productive that day as it had been in the past. It was the first occasion they had essayed the "Forest" without the invaluable help of Mr Church Jones, who bad organised it year after year and they had felt that it was a very difficult task to replace him but he thought that under the organis- ation of Mr Edgar Davies, they would be able to record that there was no diminution in the proceeds. After thanking all the helpers for their loyal assistance, his lordship caused a hearty p laugh by acknowledging the help g.'ven by a domestic cat, which went out for a walk one afternoon and returned with a rabbit now on sale at one of the stalls. There was only one blemish in the per- formance-the walk was taken on a Sunday afternoon. They had had a great amount of generous help, the Bishop proceeded and he did not know of any year when they wanted it more, because the abnormal conditions made the carrying on of all parochial organisa- tions exceedingly difficult. In 1918 the sum of over £2,000 was raised to help the various organisations going-work of repairs of the churches, payment of living agents, and all the different things that fell upon their parochial fund- and that was a large sum for a parish of the size of S. John's and S. Mary's to raise. It could only be raised by the cordial co-operation of a large number of helpers it was on their helpers they relied, and he hoped they would be able to tide over the difficult times, that affected the life of every parish as well as the life of every individual. (Applause). Mrs Christy who was heartily received said she had seen many forests in many countries, but never one quite like the one she now saw before her, which certainly was a very beautiful sight. She hoped they would all buy their Xmas presents there and leave the trees and stalls quite bare. She had great pleasure in declaring the "Forest of Trees" open. (Applause). Mr A. H. Shapland, in proposing a vote of thanks to Mrs Christy, remarked that that was the nineteenth anniversary of an event which had been one long series of successes. Mr J. Vaughan, one of the Church- warden of S. Mary's, seconded the vote, which was heartily accorded. Following is a list of stall-holders and those in charge of trees :— STALLS.
