WELSH PREACHER'S PREDICTION, j WELSH PREACH PREDICTION. In a letter to the "Daily News," Mr. W Llewelyn Williams, M.P., refers to the prediction made in 1856 by the Rev. Hejirv Rees, of Liverpool, one of Wales moet iarnoos pulpit orators. and which is narrated in Henry Rees's Biography by the Rev. Owen Thomas. Speaking of a grandson who had just been born to bun, Henry Ke?s said:— If the little one is allowed to linv as long as I have lived, he will see very stiango things, and things, it is very probable, arrible as well. I shudder t;) think of the things that must happen 011 earth. You may 00 pure that these god- less old kingdoms of Europe will have to suffer, because of the oppressions that have been rife in them, and the innocent blood which they have shed; and I am not without tVar lest Britain also will have to suffer from the plagues that will descend upon them. And it is nearing Un time to listen to the cry of the souls under the altar which call out for ven- geance. And her- is this little one come into the world at such a terrible time." Dr. Owen Thomas reminded him of one of his (Rees's) sermons in which he had predicted the triumph ff right. Henry Rees reiterated his belief that the erd of it would be the greatest blessedness to the earth, but went on to say But I feel certain that awful thing? will happen before then; and I see myself in this little one as it were reaching out personally into the midst of anxieties and sorrows which affright me when I think of them." That grandson is Mr. J. R. Davies. J.P., of Cerio. a well-known Welsh Noncon- formist layman. On August 10th last Captain Arthur Davies, a great-grandson of Henry Rees, was returned as missing after the fierce fighting near Sulva Bay.

ECONOMISING COAL IN THE WEST COUNTRY. I Coal expenditure has to be cut down. Many households are adopting a well- known practice of the West country. You take one part of small coal mixed, with two parts of clay for preference, but mould will do. Then sprinkle with com- mon salt which has been damped, and make into balls. It is known as Culm, and makes a good fire, giving out extreme heat. The picture shows how the moist mixture is made into balls. [Photo: Newspaper Illustrations.]

I MR. REUBEN RolKNSON PROMINENT SWANSEA FRIENDLY SOCIETY WORKER DEAD. We record with deep regret the death vhich occurred somewhat suddenly cut Monday afternoon, of Mr. Reuben Robin. son, of 18, Wheatfield-terrace, Waunwei3, Swansea, one, of the best Lnown friendly society men in the district. He had been ill for many years, but he was able to continue his business pursuit—that of an insvranee agent—almost up to the very last. On Saturday lie r"18 about the town. and appeared in his usual health. In- deed, in thj evening he enjoyed a game of bowls. On Monday he became worse, and passed away during the afternooJ, the cause of death bein7 heart failure. As a friendly society man he was known through,out the country. He had been al trustee, and later, the treasurer of the Cambrian Lodge of Oddfellows. He had been right through the chairs, and hal represented his lodge at th2 annual con-I ference for about twenty years. Of Strong Principles. The late Mr. Robinson was a man of strong convictions .socially and politically. He was nourished in the old tschool of Liberalism, and to the end he remained faithful and staunch. He had been inl the forefront of political movements at Swansea, and his interest was as keen in municipal affairs. But the work nearest his heart was that connected with the friendly societies. He was a great Odd- fellow, and esteemed no service too hard for the advancement of the Order, and particularly of the lodge with which he was immediately associated, the Cambrian. He knew the history of the Order by heart, he was never happier than when engaged promoting its interests. He was known to a very large number of Swansea people, who sympathised with the suffering of his closing years, and will I remember him for his fortitude in bearing that suffering and the geniality which he maintained in spite of it. Deceased was a ncmber of the Dyfatty Bowls Club, and on Saturday afternoon, took part in a game. The same evening he visited Swansea, and was taken ill on his return home, being confined to his bed until he died on Monday afternoon. He leaves a widow, three sons (one of whom is row serving with the Oxford and Bucks L.I.), and a daughter. The funeral, which will be public, takes place on Satardav afternoon, leaving the house at 3 p.m. for Danygraig. As An Oddfellow. I A biography of the deceased will natur- ally be mostly occupied with his services to Oddfellowship. Ho joined the Cam- brian Lodge at the age of 16, and he served it in every position of honour to which his colleagues could appoint him. When Sir Alfred Mond visited the lodge in connection with an Oddfellow confer- ence lie was presented, as P.G.M., with a chain of office-the chain shown in the photograph we reproduce. His history is a history of friendly society activity in Swansea. He saw the Cambrian Lodge grow to strength, and he was well entitled to the pride he always displayed in its success. He was a member of the Swansea Liberal Executive, an active member of the Swansea Hospital Board, and in religion lie was a Baptist, being connected with Mount Zion.

I MORRISTON- SERGEANT WOUNDED. News has been received by Mrs. Reed, 6, Bowen- terrace, Morriston, that her husband, Sergt.

When the analysis was received, the committees recommended that steps he taken to protect the drug fund from de- preciation from excessive prescribing. The report was adopted. Mr. D. Arthur Jones, manager of the National Provincial Bank, and Mr. D. Jones, manager of the London City and Midland Bank, Carmarthen, put in ap- plication for the post of treasurer to the committee in succession to the late Mr. P. J. Wheldon, manager of the National Provincial Bank, and submitted the re- spective bank's terms. By 31 votes to 10, the manager of the London City and Midland Bank was appointed.

30,000 FEWER MINERS. According to the report of Dr. Atkin- son, H.M. Inspector of Mine,s for the South Wales Division, the total number of persons employed at the end of Dec- ember, 1911, was 203,990, a reduction of 30,127 which, the inspector says, probably indicates, approximately the miners who had joined the colours before the end of the year.

WHY SWANSEA RAILIAYMEN ARE AGITATING. A special correspondent of the "Times" in explaining the causes of the presenfc. railway unrest, points out that the ex. ample of the South Wales miners was certain to be followed elsewhere, but that the lailwaymen appear to have genuine grievances and special claims to public sympathy. Mr. J. H. Thomas, M.P., speaking in London yesterday, advised railwaymen to realise the grave respon- sibility resting on them, and to trust their leaders. The correspondent, in the course of his article says: Feeling is particularly strong in South. Wales and in the Liverpool district. Several resolutions have been passed in South Wales, and notably one at Swan- eea, calling upon the executive in impera- tive terms to press their demands. The special features of this resolution, which was carried unanimously, are the peremptory demand for a reply from the executive and the extraordinary terms formulated. The first is an attempt to force the hands of the responsible heada of the union, which is also being done by a circular issued from Liverpool; with regard to the second, the terms go far be- yond the demands made from other centres. The Swansea resolution is there- fore, not representative of the whole body, but it is symptomatic of a very strong feeling, not only there, but in South Wales generally, for which there are several reasons. Ever since the upheaval of 1911 the dis- trict has been subject to fits of restless- ness and prone to sudden outbreaks of violent action. The doctrine of revolt then preached among the miners touched the railwaymen too, and on several occa- sions they have taken matters into their own hands. More recently they had fallen in with the general trade union movement, but an extreme element re- mained in being, ready to assert itself when an occasion arose. Different eir- cumstances have combined to arouse it now. There is, first, the general griev- ance of the high cost of living, which is said to be felt with exceptional severity in South Wales, and was one cause of the miners' recent action. It is due not only to the price of food, but also to rents, which have gone up. Housing is inade- quate, particularly in the mining valleys, where a good many railwaymen live, and rents are continually rising. The same complaint is made there by all classes, and I believe it to be well founded.
