( JESOP ON THE SUNBEAM. $- THE HARE AND THE TORTOISE. A Cyclist was explaining to a Sunbeam rider how important it was to be able to adjust the Driving Bearings of one's own Bicycle. The latter after expressing regret that he had never been inquisitive as to the inner workings of his steed, chal- lenged the other to a day's riding, in order that they might test the re- spective merits of their machines. So they started off together and rode pleasantly for some miles. Then the first Cyclist called a halt in order that he might make some necessary adjustments to his machine. No," said the Sunbeam rider, "we are tes- ting the Bicycles, not the mechanical knowledge of their riders. I have never learned to adjust my Sunbeam, because it never needs it." And he rode on.

NOTES OF THE WEEK. THE MORAL CONDITION OF WALES. Welsh people are so often told of their many virtues that it is refreshing now and then to meet a candid friend. In an article in the South Wales Daily News on the moral condition of Wales, Mr Gwilym Davies plays the part of the candid friend, and although we are persuaded that it is never wise to draw up an indictment against a whole people, We must admit that there is a great deal of truth in the charges now made, and not for the first time. It is deplorable that in agricultural counties like Pem- broke, Cardigan and Carmarthen, consumption should be so rampant. It is impossiblo to dissociate this sad state of things from tho miserable hovels in which so many poor people arc compelled to live. To this is closely related the economic question, and there are, of course, many interacting elements. Why should people have to live under conditions so dangerous to health and so inimical to their moral development? Are the Churches a power in the land, or must they confess their impotency when con- fronted with these gigantic evils? No doubt there is a crassness of feeling, and we agree with Mr Davies that what is needed in our land is an ethical revival. Emotional revives pass away, and if the evil is not intensified and driven inwards, there has been needless waste of energy which, if it had been directed into useful channels would have acted as a great lever to uplift the world. What we do not like is the suggestion—we are glad that Mr Davies does not lend it his support in this article that Nonconformists are in any special sense to j blame for the evils he describes. Nonconformists, j it is true, constitute a majority of the Welsh people, and if they spend much time in denouncing the House of Lords and the Congo atrocities, it is because they realise that the one, allied to all that is feudal and most retrograde, is a tremendous stumbling block to real progress, and with regard to the other they are moved by that sympathy for the oppressed and indignation against the oppressor, which have inspired nearly all our great Statesmen from Burke down to Gladstone. Nonconformists have their deficiencies, but we do not know of any communion that has been more faithful to high and noble ideals alike in international and in national affairs. If the individual slum-owner is not denounced from the pulpit, that may not be due to any lack of moral courage, but owing to a conviction that the pew is without the right of reply. So long as slum owning is branded as a hateful land a wicked thing, the preacher does his duty. He has doubtless many opportunities of making a private appeal to remedy some greivance, if the matter is one which justifies his interference. As to the comparatively high figures of illegitimacy in Wales, there are many reasons to account for it in rural districts. It is satisfactory to know that in Pembrokeshire the returns showed a substantial decline in 1907 compared with 1906, a decrease no doubt explained by the fact that midnight courting" in Welsh districts is rapidly becoming a thing of the past. But a country with the lowest percentage of illegitimacy is not always the most moral. However, we are pleased to see a revived interest in great ethical questions, and wish Mr Davies every success in his campaign for temperance and purity.

Temperance Meeting.-On Saturday even- ing Mr S. J. Burrow, of Plymouth, addressed a crowded meeting on the Salutation Square. Mr Burrow, who has earned for himself a reputation in the town on previous occasions, was again most enthusiastically received. The chair was taken by the Rev. Akrill Jones, chairman of the Temperance Council, under whose auspices Mr Burrow addressed the meeting. The subjpct of the address was John Bull in his rags and it proved very interesting and instructive. The housing question, gambling and drinking were among the matters treated. On the motion of Mr John Harries, seconded by the Rev. W. Mendus, a hearty vote of thanks was accorded the speaker. Wedding.—A very pretty wedding was solemnised at St. Thomas Church yesterday (Tuesday) morning, the contracting parties being Miss Elsie Roberts, only daughter of Mr William Roberts, butcher, Ruther Lane, ana Mr James Strother Ambrey, younger son of Mrs Ambrey, Belle Vue Hotel, Portfield. The Rev. T. A. Harries officiated. The bride, who was given away by Councillor George Davies, looked charming in a costume of cream, with hat to match. Mr W. E. Roberts, the bride's brother, acted as best man, and the bridesmaid was Miss Beatrice Brown, of Freystrop. After the ceremony the newly-married couple drove to the house of the bride's parents, where they were received with showers of rice by a large number of neighbours. The presents were numerous and costly. Property Sale.-On Wednesday afternoon at the Swan Hotel, Haverfordwest, Mr William Jones offered for sale by public auction the residence known as Strawberry Hill, situate in the Parish of Talbenny. The premises comprise a good residence with gardens, pleasure grounds, and out-buildings. Bidding started at Y,400, and the property was eventually knocked down to Mr J Richards, Hasguard Hall, Little Haven for £ 720. Mr Jones also offered for sale the Victoria Inn, with out- buildings and appurtenances, situate in the parish of Roch. The property is conveniently situate on the main road from Haverfordwest to St. David's, and is within easy distance of Newgale Sands. Bidding, which was very brisk, started at X250, and the lot was sold to the present tenant, Mrs Watts, for JE475. The solicitors for the vendors were Messrs Eaton Evans & Williams. Hook Sunday School Anniversary. — Anniversary services in connection with Hook Sunday School were held on Sunday last. In the morning the Rev T. J. Walters preached an interesting sermon to the children, and in the afternoon and evening when the chapel was crowded, the services consisted of singing by the choir, recitations and solos. The choir had been well trained by Mr John Griffiths, and their singing was an improvement on that of past years. Miss Thomas again presided at the organ. Recitations were delivered by Mabel Hitchings, George Jenkins, William James Davies, Lilian Thomas, Beatrice Phelps, Nancy Davies, Lavinia Thomas, Norah Griffiths, Gladys Davies, Sarah Jane Thomas, Gladys Thomas, Harold Hitchings, Edgai Havard, Edith Jenkins, Albert Phillips, John Jones, Stanley James, Winnie Griffiths, James Folland, Mary Banner, Alice Phillips, James John Thomas, Willie James, Mabel Phelps, James Folland, Florence Jones, and Martha Ann Williams. A solo was rendered by Mr James Richards. On Monday the annual treat was held. School Inquiry at Hook.—On Monday afternoon a sub-committee of the County Education Authority, together with the Director, visited Hook for the purpose of holding an official inquiry into a petition the purpose of holding an official i 7 ?o k in favour of a from practically all the parents in Hook in favour of a mixed school being erected in that locality. A large number of ratepayers were present at the inquiry, and a great deal of interest was evinced in the proceedings. On i behalf of the petitioners, Mr Joseph Davies presented certain details as to the ratable value of the parish, pointing out that if the school could be erected for XSOO, and half the expense was borne by the parish, the repay- ment of the loan would not involve a burdensome rate. Several speakers referred to the present inconveniences and dangers of sending children in all weathers to Llangwm school, a distance of 2? miles from the more remote parts of the parish. One speaker described how the children had been seen eating their dinners on a wet day under the shelter of a tree, the dinner consisting of bread and butter and cold tea. The petition was opposed by the Rev. Henry Evans, who denied that a case had been made out for another mixed school in the parish. It would mean that the school at Llangwm would be deprived of a large number of children. Mr W. G. Eaton Evans, on behalf of Mr Harcourt Powell, in- timated that there would be no difficulty in the way of obtaining a site for an infants' school.—At the close, the petitioners appointed a deputation to wait on the County Education Authority on Friday next. Presentations to the Rev. Norman Parcell and Mrs Akrill Jones.—On Monday evening last the Prendergast Workmen's Club, Haverfordwest, was well filled on the occasion of a presentation by the Prender- gast Boys' A.F.C. to the curate of the parish, the Rev. Norman Parcell, who is leaving the neighbourhood. The chair was taken by the rector, the Rev. D. Akrill Jones who delivered a few very appropriate remarks. He said he had very great pleasure to be present to do honour to his friend and colleague, Rev Norman Parcell. Mr Parcell had manifested a deep interest in the wellfare of the boys. Mr Jones pointed out a few of the lessons which football taught, viz (1). Self restraint and self control. (2). Physical courage and (3) Combination. Concluding Mr Jones said he could not speak too highly of Mr Parcell and his work. He had done a great deal to further the game among the boys. (Applause). Mr Alfred White, the vice captain of the team, was next called upon. He said they had met for the purpose of presenting the Rev. Norman Parcell, the worthy captain of the Prendergast boy's football club, with a small token to show their respect and rememberance of the many happy meetings they had had together, and he was sure he was voicing the thoughts of all when he said how sorry they were to lose him, but he (Mr Parcell) might feel sure he was carrying with him their best wishes for his welfare in his new home. Continuing, Mr White said they would like to see Mr Parcell coming back to them again as their Rector. (Applause). Since Mr Parcell had been with them he had always been most kind and considerate, and always tried to do his utmost for their well being. He then presented Mr Parcell with a silver inkstand wishing him every success in his new sphere. (Applause). The inkstand bore the inscription:—" From Prendergast Boys' A.F.C. to Rev. N. H. Parcell, 1909." Mr Parcell thanked the boys for thinking of him in this way. The thought of them doing this never entered his mind, and I he wished to thank them from the bottom of his heart. Before sitting down Mr Parcell presented a report of the club's work during the past season. This was their first year, and he was told by one of the Grammar School masters that the matches the school had encountered against them were among the most pleasant they had played, and that the Prendergast boys had played in a most sportsmanlike manner. (Applause). The report showed that they had played 1;> matches, won 8, lost 1, and drawn 3, a very creditable result for their first year. He also mentioned that after having paid all expenses they had still a balance in hand of 6s. This he asked Mr Langford to take charge of and also to give the boys a start next season. (Applause). Mr Langford, who was asked to say a few words, wished Mr Parcell every success. Messrs. J. Ll. Davies, W. Edmunds and J. Davies also bore testimoney to Mr Parcell's work in the parish, and wished him every success in his now sphere. At the conclusion, quite unexpectedly to the majority present, Mr Langford on behalf of a few of the choir members presented Mrs Akrill Jones with a watch. Mrs Jones thanked them most heartily. (Applause.)

Two Months for Assault. At the Haverfordwest police court on Saturday before Mr A. W. Massy and the Mayor of Haverfordwest, a stranger named John William Vesey, who was said to be a native of New Zealand, was charged on remand with assaulting Winifred Elizabeth Edwards of St. David's, a little girl 10 years of age. The girl Edwards said that on Thursday night while near her house defendant met her in the lane and took hold of her. He did not, however, criminally assault her. Defendant said the girl had told a few lies, but he did not wish to ask her any questions.

I Grammar School Concert. The Masonic Hall, Haverfoidwest, was well filled on Thursday afternoon on the occasion of a musical and dramatic entertainment organised by Mrs Henson in aid of the Grammar School Sports' fund. It is a tribute to the growing popularity of the school that on such a fine afternoon, at a time of the year when the country is most seductive, a large audience should be prepared to spend a couple of hours indoors listening to an enter- tainment in which all those who took part were local amateurs. An orchestra conducted by Mr John Lewis was in attendance. This comprised Messrs. G. Lewis, H. Walker, C. P. Cook, A. Cook, J. P. Reynolds, C. Jenkins, H. Jenkins, S. O. Garrett, and M. Rogers. The programme commenced with the orchestral overture Marche majestique," after which Mrs Herbert Cole of Milford, a charming contralto singer, sang (a) Less than the dust," (b) Till I awake "—Indian love lyrics, rendered with true feeling in which Mrs Cole's rich and sympathetic voice was heard at its best. The audience loudly applauded, but Mrs Cole did not respond to the encore. Mr Philip Hancock was unable to appear, but his place was taken by Mr E. J. Burling, an excellent comic, who attired in a bizarre costume, kept the audience in a rollicking mood. His rendering of Mine Fadderland" was exquisitely funny, and Mr Burling was obliged to respond to an encore. The one act play, The Peacemaker kept the audience intensely interested from beginning to end. The dramatis personse were Eliaabeth Lavender, Miss M. Griffith; Joyce Harford, Miss P. George Parsons, Miss G. N. Barham; Dr. Burton, Mr W. V. Edwards; Dick Harford, Mr H. Marshall George. The scene was Elizabeth Lavender's flat in Kensington, and Miss M. Griffith acted the difficult role of peacemaker with con- spicuous success. She was able to effect a re-conciliation between the newly married pair, Dick and Joyce Harford, but as this was essentially a case of Barkis is willing" on a double scale there were no very great difficulties to surmount. A word of praise is especially due to Mr W. V. Edwards for the admirable way in which he took the part of Dr. Burton. In the one act farce-" That brute Simmons" the slight absence of freedom noticeable in "The Peace- maker was entirely absent. Miss M. Griffith repre- sented the kind of arrogant, overbearing, tyrannical housewife, known to many a hen-pecked husband and typified here by Mrs Simmons. The part of Bob Ford, who was supposed to have been drowned many years ago, was taken by Mr G. E. Carrow, while Mr Harold Evans acted the part of Mr Thomas Simmons, husband to Mrs Simmons. The scene was the familiar cottage kitchen, sacred to Mrs Simmons, who seemed to have been cursed with a double dose of original sin. She had lost her former husband, Bob Ford, and no one less patient than Simmons would have been content to allow his hat to remain on such a peg. Mr Harold Evans was so quaintly funny as Simmons, that he tickled the imagination of the audience, who felt sorry for one who had to submit to such treatment. When both husbands appear in the same house, they are more anxious to renounce than to claim their wife, and both seem glad of the opportunity to leave her a confirmed grass-widow. Miss Griffith is to be congratulated on her excellent re- presentation of Mrs Simmons, and Mr Carrow for his realistic representation of a certain type of workingman. Mrs Herbert Cole was again warmly applauded for her rendering of (a) In Haven," and (b) "Where corals lie," from Elgar's sea pictures. Mrs Cole quite captivated the audience, and this time responded to an encore. A violin Bolo was also contributed by Master Harry Jenkins. Durirg an interval, the Rev. J. Henson, headmaster of the Grammar School, thanked the audience for their presence and for the interest they had thus shown in the school and their sports fund. The programme concluded with the singing of Hen wlad fy Nhadau." In the evening there was a repeat performance, but, un- fortunately, there was not a big audience. The accompanists for the concert were Mrs J. L. Jen- kins and Mr C. Bulmer, F.R.C.O. The concert realised X23 6s 3jd.

Davies, pastor of Cross Street Baptist Church, Lontion and the chairman at the evening service was Mr E. R. Davies of Merthyr Tydfil; both are sons of the Rev. W. Davies. Mr James Adams, superintendent, Mr Ueorge Barrah, secretary Mr William Palmer, conductor; and Miss Muriel Owen, organist, deserve special mention for the trouble they took in preparing for the event, and it is largely owing to their efforts, as well as those of the young people who took part, that the great success of the anniversary is due. On the following Saturday, 19th June, the children's annual treat was held in a field kindly lent for the occasion by Mr Howells, of Newton Farm.
