Councillor Alfred Nicholas is to be congratulated upon his elec- tion on the Governing Body of the Church in Wales. Out of 41 nominations, he came next on the list to Lord Aberdare, and was bracketed for the position with Mr. Lovat Eraser.

Davies, Vicar of Llanfi- hangel-y-Creuddyn Ceredigion, delivered his I popular lecture on "Chwyl y byd hwn," at the Church Hall on Monday evening. Councillor Jenkin Jones, M.E., presided.

J. Watkins, conductor of the Nantyffyllon Harmonic Society, was appointed. Mr. David Powell (colliery checkweigher) was appointed secretary, and Councillor Wm. Jon, Garth, treasurer.
