CWMAMMAN. I On Sunday afternoon, Garnant was the scen of a thrilling rescue. Some llid" were bithing in the Tinworks Pond, when a boy named George Belcher, aged H, of Turn, Garnant, was noticed to be in diffi- culties. Luckily a well-known tradesman. Mr. Win. Thomas Lnmbshop. was near at hand, and without divesting himself of any of his clothing, jumped into the water. On reaching the boy. the latter was found to be in a semi-conscious state. All would have gone well had not Mr. Thomas slipped into a deep hole, which necessitated his using all his powers to ex- tricate himself therefrom. He however got hold of the lad again, whom he kept above the water, and although in an ex- hausted state himself, tried his utmost to reach the side with his burden, whom he tenaciously stuck to. Fortunately, help was at hand in the person of Mr. Thomas' son, Ednvfed. who, being a strong swim- mer, brought the lad afely o lund, and alio materially assisted his father. Had not young Thomas arrived on the scene it seems probable, his father and the boy would have lost their lives.

The hig day on Sunday next is being eagerly lookcil forward to. and it is ex- pected that huge congregations will gather to hear Rev. Jno. Thomas, M.A. (late of Liverpool), who preaches at Mount Plea- sant on Thursday in aid of Sketty Baptist Fund. It will be recollected that last year flu- same preacher appeared, and the ser- vices yielded no less than Ail00. a sum which the Baptists hope to beat this year. At Sketty Brotherhood on Sunday, Mr. G. P. Cook Davies. Swansea, made a wel- come re-appearance, lie took his subject from R. L- Stevenson, who said that in order to finish a task it was necessary to have work prayer, and ink."

CARMARTHEN, At a meeting of the Carmarthenshire War Agricultural Committee at Carmar- then, on. Saturday, Mr. Wm. Griffiths.

(Tears, comprising in all from LaOO to 2.000 aerrs, would form an ideal »ite a« a colony, and "it' wa«> decided to recom- mend fiu-li a scheme to the proper aut hu- nt ICS. At a meeting of the Carmarthenshire War Agricultural Committee at Carmar- then, E. R. Pry.se explained the progres* made in the county with the scheme f.u- temporarily releasing soldiers from the Army in order to assist farmers with the har\ est.. He stated that the total number of men asked for by farmers was 265, and the total number released up to date had been lot. He anticipated that v hen the scheme, was completed over 60 per cent, of the applications from soldiers would be granted. The chief reason for the re- fusals was that fanners had aked for the release of particular men —their sons and ex-workmen—and it had not always been possible to release the men. With regard to meeting the labour shortage for the corn harvest, he intended to ask that a squad of 50 soldiers should be sent down to the district, to camp, so that farmers could have the use of them at once for one or two days or more. On the whole, the scheme to get military labour on fa,rmshad?'orkpd very well this year, and h? nndpisfood that in Carmarthenshire there had been more applications for the help of soldiers on the land than in any o'Ll,(,i- lett,(,i- -o-as i-(,a(i froiii flip Committee of Work of National Import- ance. suggesting that farmers should apply to them for the assistance on the land of conscientious objectors ordered to undertake work of national importance.

BOXING SURPRISE. I I Chris. Langdon Loses to Will James. j For once in a way the Ystalyfera boxing school did not shine. On Saturday even- ing, at the Swansea Olympic, two of their representatives were beaten, and, strange to say, the opposition in each case cani from Britonferry men. The principal con- test was between Chris. Langdon (Ystaly- fera) and Will James (Britonferry), the distance prescribed being 15 :min ute rounds. Langdon seemed to be the stronger man in the opening rounds, but Jaiues was the more skilful boxer. As time went on Langdon showed signs of weakening, whereas James was fresh and aggressive. In round number 10 Langdon received some punishment, but while he was down on points no one expected the end to come in the way it did. The Y stalyfera man failed to come up for the eleventh round, his seconds throwing in the towel. James therefore secured the verdict, and it was very well earned. The other Ystalvfera boxer to be beaten was Young Sharkey. His opponent, Lbe Thomas, had the advantage of weight and reach, but he did not make the best ase of the openings which presented them- selves. However, lie was quite good enough to win on points. Young Yountt and Young Lodge, two- Xeath lads, boxed a draw. The referee was Mr. Ted Jones, the ex-Welsh middle- weight, and the timekeeper Mr. W. Doherty. j LLEW EDWARDS DEFEATED. Sydney.

HUMAN PROGRESS. A Book for Everyone. A STRONG Bonk and a valuable 011c is Mr. Walter 11. GalIi- ch-.n's "Religion of Kiiulneni' published by Watts and Co., London. Frankly secularist, condemnatory of Chrj. tian dogma, its PI\g'cs embody the csseme of the Christian life, on its ethical side. Indeed. Sir, Gallichan finds more in his re- lipion than even thi^ 11-e are only just beginning to realise how wonderful life is." he srys. The re- ligion of kindness, the faith that, I 'hot 1, has the videst scopc-'for revcrem c, awe, emotion, a<i.thetic raptnre. idealism, romance," and poetry. Sentiment directed by reason does good deeds." And elsewhere he says, the whole 01 good is in en- lightened sympathy." V^liether this "f-tillf" can in sound reason be detached from Divine 'evciation —whether this faith and the vital, price- :f::fj, ind iudispensabie humanist morality lvllicll lic- submerged and often forgotten beneath vast accretions of superstition, error, and si pplementary hierarchic dogma." do not ultimately find their source iii the same transcendent region is a mutter for reasonable argument, in which it. is possible that new revcl-ition might coint even to Mr. Gallichan. 'though "se- quence is not ecessarily cousequence. nor priority cause, it is extremely difficult to jotulatc, apart from that transcendency, the aggregation cf human consciousness which matic., a C-illichaii. Meanwhile, undoubtedly the prime Value of the secular apc.-tle lies in tllo impetus he gives to a practical application of Chiis- tian ideas From this point of view. the "Religion of Kindness'' will be widely re- cognised as of immense service. Starting with the submission that moral- ity is mutable, rnd that religious ethics ure of necessity constantly rcyiscd-that kind- ness, helpfulnoss, and forgiveness are pre- eminent biological necessities; having ut- tered a warning' against delusive personal bias," and asked what guide have we in the last appeal in such a momentous mat- ter lH individual and social conduct esccnt rcctihed knowledge, Mr. Gallichan avers that the essential or vital part of a re- ligion is ita practical rnorality. These general principles are dealt with in relation io the family," the weak," combativeness," punishment, and indus- trialism. Preparation for child training whould, he holds, begin before birth. The highly in- tiactable child is a subject for lhe phy- sician or the skilled neuropathist, and not for the policeman armed with a birch. Nurture of the infantile mind involves, among other thing:, actite understanding, ■knowledge of nature, and profound pa- tience What-siiits one child may be dis- astrous for hi" brother. Consideration is discipline for both parents and children. Without it there i, no hope for jus: ice in the nursery and the school Cruelly en- genders hate; abiding virtue is rooted in lore not in fear. For, after all, what ire most of the offences of childhood nbulli- tfon-i of repressed natural desires, many of them beneficial find essential to free and fUll human In the chapter or combativeness Rnr1 Fym- pplhy the auth'ir t*uhmit« that civilisation it nIl;, to reduce c>uelty. torture, and ruth- le<s daughter in warfare.
