PRAISING GOD. Conditions Which Make It a Mockery. I Mr. Evan Roberts on Friday visited Bedli- nog, a colliery village, situated between Dow- lais and Llancaia-ch, and his arrival from Tre- harris in the afternoon was greeted by a large proportion of the populace. The revival "fire" spread to the district almost immedia,tely after the outburst at Loughor, and among the 155 converts (writes our special correspondent) are persons whose for- mer delight was in the region of gambling and intemperance. Moriah Welsh Congregational Ohapel was crowded to its fullest capacity long beifore two o'clock, at which hour the service was announced to begin. Taking up the sentiment propounded in the closing line of a hymn, Mr. Roberta pro- ceeded to expatiate upon the conditions on which a person could be justified in praising I God. There were people who dared praise Him with not even a grain of the Spirit within them, but such an attitude was mockery. Could a poor blind person belaud Nature? Certainly not, for such a person could not behold her charms. To instil the Spirit into people could not be done through earthquake- like actions. On the contrary, he had dis- covered, through the voice of God, that such an end could only be reached through the soothing avenue of love. At this juncture Miss Annie Davies broke in with a hymn and followed with a short address. Hymn after hymn wa sung, but the evan- gelist expressed his disapproval of the vooal performance. It was advisa-ble when singing to think of those who inhabited all the cornem of the world; otherwise there could not be spiritual contagion. It was quite possible to become selfish as the result of hymn-sing- ing. He himself h.a.d become so, and was only dispossessed of his error by a whisper of the Divine voice. He appealed to the audience to unite in one body in rendering Duw mawr y rhyfeddodau maith." This was responded to, and for some time song and prayer appeared to be in a struggle for supremacy. Mean- while Mr. Roberts dwelt upon the purity of 'I prayer, and affirmed that those who could not pray the prayer of God were mere obstruc- tioniete. Were there any such people at the 'I present meeting, he would advise them to leave the building, because their presence only interfered with the work. At his request the congregation offered t,he Lord's Prayer in Welsh and English, and an impressive meet- ing concluded at half-past five o'clock. REST DAY. I Mr. Evan Roberts rested at Eedlinog on I Saturday, preparaltory to his mission at Dow- Lais, which (as stated above) began yesterday, I

WITH DAN ROBERTS. Striking Scenes in the Rhondda. I As Mr. Dan Roberts, the brother of the ) central figure of the great Welsh Revival, was in the Rhondda last week, "Awstin" on Wed- nesday evening attended one of his services, and, although the enormous crowds which follow Mr. Evan Roberts were not attracted, there was a crowded congregation, and the service throughout was certainly a very remarkable one. A young man from the body of the chapel stepped forward to the "big seat," read a chapter, and prayed. He then gave out a hymn, which was sung. Shortly after seven o'clock Mr. Dan Roberts arrived, accom- panied by Miss S. A. Jones (Nantymoel) and Miss Maggie Davies (Maesteg). The evangelist asked the congregation to sing, and sing prayerfully, the hymn, "0 anfon Di yr Ysbryd Glan," a request which was complied with, and the singing was decidedly tender in its appeal for the descent of the Spirit upon the service. Mr. Dan Roberts then rose and declared that he had no message that night, and did not know what to say, except to offer them—as they always could do— a crucified Saviour. He dwelt upon the great theme of this marvellous Welsh revival, and urged the need of real activity in the Churches. Then, incidentally referring to the necessity for personal work in spreading the truths of the Kingdom and in living the life which should preach its own lesson to the world, he said he had him- self been a hard, tearl-ess person, but had been softened by the realisation of the great love of Christ towards man. The address was listened to with rapt atten- tion, and the meeting was evidently affected by the simple manner and earnestness of the young revivalist. Miss Maggie Davies began singing- "Dad o'r Nef, tosturia 'nawr, Wrth Dy groes 'rwyl1 plygu lawr," but, being affected by the picture contained in the touching hymn, she burst into tears, and, unable to proceed, she went on her knees and prayed for help. While Miss Davies was praying Mias Jones rose, and in a passion- ately pleading little speech urged her hearers, and especially the younger section of the con- gregation, to accept the Saviour. The urgency of the matter in a colliery district, subject to accidents, such as had just been referred to, was emphasised, and this brief English address brought a young man to his feet to appeal in Welsh to his fellow-workmen to respond to the call. He specially referred to a young man who had promised to come to the Saviour at this meeting, but who did not appear to be now present, for there was no response. Miss Davies had ty this time recovered her composure, and she sang very effectively the hymn which she had begun. with its prayer- ful refrain, "Dyr 'nawr, Dad o'r Nef, tosturia 'nawr." Responding to the missioner's appeal, a working man. standing at the front of the gallery, offered up a Welsh prayer, and this was followed by another eloquent prayer by a man who rose in the body of the chapel. The whole service clearly proved that the people of the neighbourhood have not slackened one whit in the intensity of their devotion to the work connected with the revival, and the fact that in Ton alone the converts enrolled during the past couple of months number upwards of 1,200 shows that the movement in the upper part of the Rhondda is a great living reality. SUNDAY'S MI: ETINGS. Mr. Dan Roberts and his lady missi-o-ners were at Llwynypia. on Sunday, and during the day conducted remarkable services at Bethania (CM.), Jerusalem (B.), and Salem (C.) Churches, and great fervouT was dis- played, and many conversions are expected as a result of the mission, which extends over the week. I TREDEGAR THRILLED. A thrilling meeting was held at Siloh Chapel, Tredegar, in connection with the mission of Mr. Sydney Evans and Mr. Sam Jenkins. The fine chapel has sitting accommodation for 1,600, and there were quite 2,000 within hearing of the proceedings. Praises were given for turning the heart of the pedestrian who won the first prize in the great walk from Tredegar to Abergavenny and back last summer. Tha athlete got up and "testified," urging upon those who had followed him in his walk on that occasion to follow him in the step he had now taken. There were 49 conversions, and it was announced that there were six conver- i sions at the open-air meeting held simul- taneously. I AT TREREGAR. I The four days' mission of MT. Sidney Evans and Mr. Sam Jenkins and other I emneelirts at Tredegar terminated on. Sa,turday night with a great meeting at Saron Chapel, when there was a. congregation cumbering 1,200 present, and hundreds failed to gain admission. There were a large number of conversions. During the day Mr. Sydney Evans and his colleagues visited the model lodging-house in Red Lion-square, and he told his congregation that what he had seen there made his heart bleed, and he would not fcrget it during his lifetime, He saw the-ir brothers sunk down to the lowest depths of degradation. What were they doing as Christians? Four cr live young men left the meeting to hold a religious servioe in the lodging-house, and soon returned with the joyful news that four of the inmates had been converted. About 300 conversions were announced, bringing the total for Tredegar up to date to about 1,400. At Pontypridd. GRACIOUS MOVEMENT AMONGST THE I ANGLICANS Hutto is strong evidence tihat the Revival fire" is catching on among the dhurcli people of Pontypridd. The Rev. Gordon Smdth, of St. John s Church, following the example of the Rev. E. Profeart, Carmol Rap. tist Church, has already held underground services in the Maritime Level. The reverend gentleman was aooompanied by some of his flock, and delivered an addrec-s to the work- men before they started upon their labours for the day. The experience was quite new to him, and he hopes to be allowed to r, peaat his visits. The moaning service at St. John's Church, yesterday, was of special interest, it having been announced in the local papers that the Archdeacon of Llandiaff had been invited to preach the sermon. Considering the sparse- of Sunday morning congregations, as a rule, the attendance was moot encouraging. There is a very hopeful prospect that the quickening of zeal 1MId increase of devotion. wh:oh have thus become manifest, will gather strength with every fresh ontbuj?t of effort, j In the afternoon the Ven. Archdoacon addressed a general meeting of men in the Pariah Church. This is a t'revr.h feature aris- l'ïn out of the Revival, and as it is initend.ed to make moat of the opportunity the vioar h.is arran god that theee services shall be held quarterly during the year, and spexsiai mis- sioners have been secured. The Sunday even- ing services at the Pari;ih Oh.uroh for some time past have baen made addition-ally attrac- tive by the introduction of vooal and instru- m'ental solos, dwe-tos. part songs, anthems, &c., followed by shorr. sermons. Many Church people have been to the inquiry rooms at Gipsy Smith's Mission, and thoir names and ■addrmses have been communicated to the clergy. WORK IN CARDIFF. A revival meeting was held on Saturday night at the Hayes Tabernacle. Cardiff, when the lady speakers were Miss Olwen Davies and Miss Keturah Williams, Ponty- cymmer. Addresses were also delivered by Principal Edwards, the Rev. Charles Davies, Alderman Edward Thomas ("Coohfarf"), and others. There were eight converts on Sun- day night, bringing up the total number to 423. Impressive revival services were held on Sunday morning, afternoon, and evening at the Memorial-hall, Cowbridge-road, Caraifl, ing. The Rev. T. M. Charles presided. The re-opening services of Woodville-road Baptist Cha-pel, Cardiff, were held on Sun- day. The pastor (the Rev. Caradog Griffiths) and the Rev Cornelius Griffiths (Cardiff) con- ducted the service in the morning, assisted by Mias Ketura,h Williams and Miss 01 wen Davies, Pontycymmer, a.nd Mrs. Oswald Thomas, of Dowlais., The pastor announced tJhat there were over 70 converts awaiting baptism. "ARMY" CAMPAIGN I The united revival campaign of the Solva- tion Army at Cardiff is now in full swing, and a series of meetings is in progress. At the head is Commissioner Oadman. A bom- bardment," as it is described, of public- j houses in Millicent-street, liary Ann-street, and other thoroughfares was made on Satur- day night, and subsequently there was a meeting in Andrews'-hall. Adjutant Russell, speaking to one of our representatives, said there was at that meeting a crowd of the most abandoned he had ever seen in all his experience. The people taxed our resources very much," remarked the adjutant, but at the close some decided to leave their sur- roundings for the better associations of the rescue homes in Charles-street and Moira- terr.ice. ^Meetings were held on Sunday morning, afternoon, and evening at the Theatre Royal, and at all the meetings a great revival was manifest. Gatherings during the coming week are planned. STRANGE CAS 8 at TREFOREST I j Prom Treforeet, where the Calvan-y people I have been conducting street processions on Saturday nighte, we hoar of some strange eases. In one instance a man in a state of drunken- neas walked up to the pastor, the Rev. E. Lewis, and shaking hands with him, expressed in ma.a)dlin tones, and with tears in his eyes, approval of the revival. Come to the meet- ing to-morrow (meaning when he would be sober), remarked the minister. But the man managed to walk to the chapel for the iate meeting held that night. After a while he went out, and standing on the pavement, smoked to steady his nerves. He volunta-rily entered the chapel again, went out again for the same purpose, and entered a. third time in order to offer himself as a con vert—sobered a,nd in his right mind. Accompanied by a. relative, the man' subsequently went home, where there was a pint of beer awaiting him for supper. He asked that it ehould be taken away, as he was going to turn over a new leaf. "I'll believe it when I see it," was the wife's reply; but the beer was removed, and was not asked for during the night. It was the turning-point. That man hae since been taking an active part in the revival, not only in the chapel, but out in the streets, endeavouring, by precept, example, and prayer to get the boon com- panions of former days to join him in the better life. Substantial Reduction in Police Cases The revival has had a remarkable effect in regard to drunkenness and unproper language and conduct in the district of Bridgend, as is evidenced by the extraordi- nary diminution in the number of police cases which has taken place since the move- I ment spread to the district, at the end of October. On Saturday there were only four police oases on the calendar at Bridgend, three of which were oases of drunkenness. There was not a single case from the whole of the Llynfi. Valley, which has a population of over 20,000, and the Garw Valley only supplied one, while there were no cases from Bridgend, the Ogmore VaJley, or Porthcawl. The court rose at a quarter to one, hours earlier than was the case before the revivaJ broke out. ——————————————

I At Llpnelly. I I As far as Llanelly is concerned, the people are awaiting a visit from Evan Roberts. He hoj now definitely promised to hold meetings in the various towns throughout Carmarthen- shire, and it is likely that he will commenoe this part, of his mission in Llanelly. Mean- while, however, excellent work is being done I In the various chapols on Sunday nearly 60 converts were baptised at Bethania, while at Bethel there are 78 new names on tho Church roll. At Adulam even better work has been accomplished, the number of converts exceeding 100. EVAN ROBERTS AND CARDIFF.! Evan Roberts will probably begin a three days' mission at Cardiff on Wednesday, I February 8. I ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS ] Rev. D. D. Rees.—Thanks for your note. The tunes you name were published in the ordinary editions of the Express" in November.

ABERAMAN. While thirteen young men were preparing for baptism at Ynysyiwyd Baptist Chapel, accompanied by their relatives, they broke into singing the hymn, Dilyn Iesu, dyman nefoedd tenlu Duw (Following Jesus is the Rea-ven of God's people), and they continued singing to the edge of the baptistry.

ABERGAVENNY. United prayer meetings have been held by the varieus Nonconformist bodies. Madame Kate Morgan Llewellyn led the sieging ait the Wealeyans, Congregational, and Freeby- teria.ii Chapeis.

ABERTILLERY. ( At Blaenau Gwent Chapel there are 400 con- verts. Nearly 5IJ were baptised in one day recently.

AMMANFORD. A weekly diancing class has been abandoned. The towns and villages in the Amman Valley have been quite transformed by the Revival. Revival and Football A .pastor of one of the churches went through the town on the night of the Wales v. England football toh, and tried to ascer- tain the result, but he failed to do so. Later in the evening he addressed his query to a. large meeting, but none could give the result. A Collier's Temptations. A Tirydail collier says: "Drinking was my great sin, and following people who were fond of drink. I would spend the Last penny in the home for drink. When I told my manager that I bad turned over a new leaf he called me aside, and he prayed and I prayed for strength to etand. I have left my old companions, and have tried to keep company with religious people. The greatest trouble is from the drink. People often tempt me. I have had a pint of beer put to my mouth, but I was able to push it aside, and have keptaway from fit. I am following all the meetings. There ought to be a good library in the place that people could go to. A Romantic Story. A Wcl3h convert induoed an English friend to accompany him to a meeting at the Chris- tian Temple. So anxious was he for his friend's salvation that he essayed to pray for him in English, and amongst his appeal was "Lord, use a blotting paper to him." The Englishman was so affected by what he saw and heard that, to the surprise of all, he declared that sewn months before he deserted from the Navy. He afterwards gave himself up to a, police-inspector, and was taken to Ll-andilo to await an escort. The Churches offered prayers for him, and the sequel is that he has been pardoned and his discharge was granted. Dan the Haulier's" Story. Daniel Davdes, better known as "Dan the Haulier," relating his experiences, said: "Por 45 years I ,va.g in the company of the devil, and whenever he wanted anyone I was there. I had a terrible fortnight before I surren- dered. I felt myself such a sinner that I thought that God would have nothing to do with me. But .at last I gave in. There should 'be something to draw a man from the public-house. It is there where the curse of it all is, and it is the firart pint that does it. There should be a place for people iike me to meeit good people by a- comfortable fire wilthou,t the drink, where we could talk and retad. I attend all the meetings, but there should be a place where we could go when there are no meetings.

AMMAN VALLEY. A correspondent who visited the Amman Valley to interview converts on their experi- ences staites thaA moat of the men whom he conversed with complained of the lack of provision of rooms for recreation and social intercourse as a counter attraction to the public-houses.

BAriRY. Present to a Convert A young man working at one q-f the work- shops on the docksido was recently con- verted. On his leaving the district a unique gathering took place in the workshop, the young convert being presented with a, hand- some Bible by his mates. A Cardiff converted boilermaker went to Barry recently and held a very successful and edifying meeting at HoLton-road English Baptist Church.

BANGOR. The fever has manifested; iteelf at the various colleges, with the result that some oi the claesea havo not been held.

BEGELLY. Nineteen persons were baptised a.t Ebemezer, Cold Inn. The (|jst«riot has been moraJly transformed.

BRiDGENO. Commissioner Railton, of the Salvation Army, whilst at Bridgeud, received a message from General Booth asking1 him to recom- mend someone to go out to minister to the Russian prisoners in Japan. The commis sioner immediately wired baefk offering his own services.

BRYNMAWR. Vicar's 'Apreal. The Vicar (the Rev. D. Ga-iffiths), referring to the Revival, recently said that a feeliing was passing over the country that could not but have touched those who had not been directly under sits influence, and they could not help thinking- more about religious things than they were accustomed to. It was a feel- ing they should not let pass by them He appealed to his congregation to put them- selves to a, teat, and see what effect it would have upon them. He asked communicants to be more regular in their attendance.

BUILTH WELLS. At Salem ten csonverts have been made, and a.t Libanus four. At a unit-ed prayer meeting there were 30 converts made. The leaders of the meeting were the Rev. F. C. Beedher and Mr. Daniel Davies, of Trevecoa Oollege.

CARDIFF. There have been over 100 conversions at Llandaff-road Chapel. At a meeting at the Tabernacle a young 1a.dy from Huntingdon asked for prayers for that district. I It was stated at a Tabernacle meeting tha.t the Revival had broken out in Paris, antjjj there have been 60 converts" A band of Agnostics in the gallery otf the Tabernacle did their best to confound some of the converts, but with poor results. The American boy preacher, Lawrence Dennis, has addressed a number of successful meetings, at which he held the close atten- tion of the audience. A result of the Revival services conducted by Mr. Herbert Booth at Wood-street Chapel was the d.ed.aro,tionfor Christ of several of the Sunday School classes. At Ebenezer Chapel one evening no fewer than eleven new members were received, Eight were backsliders, one of whom had not taken the Sacrament for 20 years. Much good has been done at the Crwys- hall (C.M.) by the Rev. H. G. Howell, who at the close Off one meeting received 75 converts. At other meetings there have been twos and threes and twenties. 1 At a Splott meeting a young collier stated I that he had been operated on twice, but the .iloctare had failed to cure him. He grayed to God, and he was thankful to say that his prayer, had. been answered, and he had bean eured. J Waes v. the Devil." Miss Rees stated that she had seen men rushing through the streets so as to secure a good place on the stands at the inter- national football match. She prayed that eagerness to rush to the Saviour would be equally prevalent. There is another inter- national match proceeding just now," she said, Wales against the devil, and the Land of the Leek is going to win." ( The Rev. J. E. Roberts, successor to the Rev. Dr. M'Laren in the pastorate of Union Chapel, Manchester, in describing the scenes at Rhos and Cardiff, eaid that a.t Rhos he saw a parade of 700 converts. The most notable characteristic of both the Rhos and Cardiff meetings was th-eir spontaneity. There was nothing forced. The meetings were not even led by the ministers. Men and women prayed, one here and another there, or a member of the congregation would start a hymn in which all joined with true Celtic fervour. The whole meetings seemed satu- rated with prayer and praise. The latter, indeed, was the dominant nota. I

CARNARVON. I Service in a Wa ting.-room Every evening there are services in each of the ten chapels in the town, and special services are held in connection with the Church of England. An impromptu prayer meeting was held at the railway station recently. The Rev. Mr. Jenkins, of New Quay, and two lady missioners were passing through, and, a;t the request of one of the railway officials, they^ willingly spent half- an-hour in prayer and praise with some thirty or forty railwaymen, who congregated in a waiting-room.

I CLYDACH. At one meeting a.t Calfaria 13aiytiet Chapel the pastor (the Rev. T. V. Evans) received. 54 receD(fcly-ba.ptised converts into the ohurcih.

I CROSS KEYS. I There are over 640 conversions reported at Cross Keys. One of the half-backs of the football team has declined to play any more. The trade of the public-houses has been much affected, and crime of every kind is decreasing. Some notable conversions have taken place, including many drunkards.

I CWMBWRLA. I The fire is still burning brightly at Libanus I Chapel, which has got too small for its con- I gregation. The building of a new chapel is being discussed.

I CWMGWRACH. I The fire has been very fierce in thie easterly corner of the parish of Resclven. The con- verts—141—number one-third of the popula- tion.

f CWMBRAN. A feature of the Revival is the keen interest displayed by the young people, ohildron of between ten and fifteen years being heard praying most fervently.

I DOLEGLLY. The Revival has taken a deep hold of Dol- gelly. The vieat of Mr. Gemond Williams to address his constituents has been postponed, as the town is not in a. mood to pay heed to worldly considerations.

I EBBW VALE. At 19, meeting at Zion twenty-one converts were added to the roll. A,t&b-us the workers had a difficulty in getting at the converts owing to the crush. Dr. Cynddylan Jones stated at a meeting that the Revival would he judged by results. From the chief depot of the British and Foreign Bible Society during November and December £300 worth of bibles had been sent to Wales and Monmouthshire, as compared with L80 worth for the previous two months.

I FERNDALE. Features of the Revival are the children's meetings. "We had a splendid meeting," said one of the little boys to his friends the other day. Five stayed behind, and several threw away their cigarettes, with a. promise not to emoke any more."

I FLEUR-DE-LIS, A man at one of the meetings said, "For two years I have been a profetssing Christian, but now I am a confessing Ohristian." The eloquence displayed by some a.t the meetings was nothing leas than marvellous. Men, who had never spoken in public before, appeared as if inspired. TaatTs were brought to the eyes of many aft New Salem Chapel, Wh-en an old man went to kneel at tlhe penitent form. Ho was almost immiodiatoly joined by his crippled daughter, who had to come up the chapel on crutches. The silence was most impressive for a moment, and then the singing of "Diolch Iddo" seemed to shake the very building. A Pathetic Scene At an enthusiastic meeting at, New Salem Cha.pel, one man oried, "I have been a drunkard, but, thank God, I am now changed. He went on to toll the congrega- tion how his mother on her death-bed begged him to attend the services of God. He patheti- cally added, "She now knows that I am here." He bunst into sobs and broke down. The tension was relieved by a young lady in the gallery, who started the hymn, "Tell mother I'll be there."

I GARNDIFFAITH. During tho course of a successful mission conducted -at Garndiffaith under the muspioet3 off the Pontypridd Christian Temperance Fond 110 conversions took place. A week's mission was conducted by the Christian Temperance Lea-gue of Pontypridd. Over 100 confessed conversion. The meetings were carried on with glowing enthusiasm. Several terrible chaxacters were brought in.

I (IELLI. Dan Roberts, observing two yo-ang ladies pleading with an obstinate sinner, said, "Do not force Christ upon him. He is too good for that; if His love is not sufficient to d-raw the sinner, leave him alone." A minister declared at one of Dan Roberts's meetings that he hul been on the brink of damnation. "There is danger," was his warn- ing, "when one familia,eses himself with the work o'f Christ, ;and thaA was the etato in which I found myself- Pray, oh! pray for me," he pleaded', and eoon his tippe&l was responded to. A Minister's Confession. A minister at one of Dan Roberts's meet- ings said that he had been on the brink of damnation. His heart had got into such a hard state that it had shut out all love for the Saviour. There is danger," he warned them, when one fam JAarisies himself with the work of Christ, and that was the state in whioh I found myself. Pra.y, oh! pray, for me," he pleaded. The audience did so very heartily.

GOODWICK. The members of the Baptist Chapel and the Methodists combined, and have held united services of the most encouraging kind. At Harmony 40 converts were immersed in public.

GOWERTON. Well-attended meetings hafe been held for the last six weeks. Thirteen were baptised in Iont, evening at Bethania.

GWAELODYGARTH. Seven persons were baptised on Friday, the eldest beSiJMii a man of W

HAVERFORDWE8T. A sober, serious spirit prevails, eepecaal.y amongst young men. United services are held each evening, and many converts have bean made.

HOLYHEAD. The intensity of the Re-rival is at fever heat, a.nd promises to eclipse the meetings in South Wales. One meeting lasted from 7 p.m. to 1 p.m. Amongst these present were two naval men, who wept bitterly.

HIRWAIN. Amongst the visitors have been the Rev6. A. J. Henderson and A. M. Gardner, of Lan- don. A proposal was made for a day's stoppage at the pits last week, so that the men might have an opportunity of attending the Revival services, but the arrangement couid not be carried out. Whilst Evan Roherts was walking up the hillside from Hirwain one day he saw some boys skating. He called them to him and asked them to sing Throw out the life-line." The lads, kneeling down, sung the hymns as a prayer. The pastor of Upton Baptist Church, Lambeth-road, London, stated at one of the meetings that amongst a number of orphan girls attending his Church is a Welsh girl who was so deeply impressed by what she heard of the Welsh Revival tha.t she and a j few fellow-pupils started a Revival band, which is now 70 strong.

HEOLYCYW, At the Raglan Colliery services have been held twice a day with wonderful results.

I LANDOHE. 'Mr. McTaggart, who has made himself very popular in the Swansea district, conducted a most successful meeting at New Såloh Cha.pc.1, after which there was a procession through the streets, hymns being sung.

LOUGHOR. At the Pa,risb Church 110 new members have been admitted, thanks chiefly to the efforts of the Rev. Canon Williams, who conducted meetings on R-evival lines.

LLANRLIG. The Church of England is to the fore, and the R-ev. Hugh Williams, curate in charge, is conducting services daily.

LETTERSTON r PEM). Recently 3Z persons were publicly baptised by immersion by the Rev. B. Thomas, pastor of Seion Baptist Chapel, assisted by the Rev. Dan Davies. Several of the candidates were over 70, and, notwithstanding the biting wind, they submitted to what must have been a trying experience with fervent eagerness.

MACHEN. An impressive meeting was held at the Methodist Chapel, when over 1.000 people attended. The singing of "Lord, I'm coming "home" was very fine. Deep Devotion. Mr. Raymond Preston, of Wigan, conducted great services, and Dr. Johnson, president of the Weisieyain, Conference, Ireland, and Mr Frank Evtans and party, from Lcughor, agsieted. There were no incidents of a- sensa^- tional character, but a spirit of deep devotion was -manifest. Many attended from Risea, Cross Keys, Bedwas, and Caerphilly, and in all 200 converts wore madq.

I MAESYCWMMER. I The Revival is making- great strides. There have bean over 300 converts.

I MORRISTON. The effects of the Revival hiave been great, the majority of the people, particularly the young folks, having been raised to a state of great religious fervour. Revival guilds have -beon initiated for the purpose cf carrying on the Christian Endeavour moveonenft. Sick visiting forme a feature, and also cottage prayer meetings.

NEWPuRT. ) There were only three casee recently at the police-court, whon but for the Revival 20 or 30 would have been expected. The Converted Actor I Mr. J. L. Franklyn, the converted actor, j who has been taking pait in the meetings, is one of the most powerful speakers. He is going to Duneo College for a course of training, after which he will go to Africa, as a missionary. Boxing Match Cancelled At a meeting at the Forward Movement Hall, Corporation-road, a young man, who said thai he was a professional boxer, desired to surrender to Christ, but he was engaged in a public-house, and had a boxing engage- ment at Neath in a fortnight's time. Prayers were offered on Ms behalf, and eventually he submitted, and friends in the building pro- mised to find him other employment and to pay tho forfeit, so that the boxing match I should be cancelled. Over 100 converts have been made by the Forward Movement, which is going strong.

NEW TREDEGAR. United prayer meetings and open-air meet- ings have been organised with great success,

NEATH. At the Forward Movement Hall the converts number 700. One oonvert described himoolJf as the big ex-general in the army of the evil one. Evan. Roberts has again predicted tha ttha Revival will spread. Terrible things are going to (happen in the near future, he says. Evan Roberts during his stay was enter- tained iby Mr. and Mra. Rhys Jones, Godreooed Villa. The Misses Maggie and Annie Davies, the vocalists, were the guests of Mr. and Mors. W. Griibb. At one meeting an elderly lady Wail the first woman to make herself heard. With a voice trembling with emotion she remarked thatt she had been married for a score of years to a drunkard, for whose salvation ahe prayed. Evan Roberts told the story of another vision. "To-day," he said, "I saw my Saviour. Wha,ta beautiful Saviour Ho is. Be is mighty also to strike down the sinner if he does not yield." The missioner then com- pletely broke down, and his sobs were heart- rending. Missioner's Confidence Ait one of Evan Roberts's meetings a man remarked that the crush from the back of the galery was eo great as to be dangerous. "There is no danger," said Evan Roberts; "God must take care of His house and His people. The first thing I do on coming in is to aak God to take care of us, and lie, will." Thrilled by an Atheist A Swansea atheist thrilled the oudic-nee by his graphic description of his .past life and his account of his conversion was very touch- ing, particularly his narration of how his wife had been praying for him, and how she oould hardly bo cominoedthat he had really been converted. She appeared at first to fear him all the more, thinking that he was only acting a Il:.a.rt for the purpose of deriding her. —

NAiMTLLE VALE. There have been nearly 500 con versiona in Niantlle Va-le.

PEMBROKE DOCK. Hundreds of men gather daily at the dock gates to listen to stirring addresses by Mr. Herbert John. one of their number, who is a zealous Revivalist.

I PORTHCAWL. Pour East End of London preachers at-1 tended the meetings. Two of them first; attonded a meeting at Gilgal Baptist Churoh, and when that broke up they joined the Con- gregationa 1 ists at the Methodist Meeting House, "where the Rev. E. W. Pearoe oun- i ducted. The visitors were accorded a very hearty welcome. They expressed the opinion that if the Revival spread to London the sing- ing would not be such a feature of it as it I' is in Wales. They would return to London with new ideas of preaching, praying, and singing.

PONTYCYMMER. Broke Up Four Homes At one meeting a man stated that he had laid many cornerstones for the devil in pub- lic-houses, but he was now determined to aid the building up of the Kingdom of God. A man who had come to one of the meet- ings in an intoxicated condition was prevailed upon to sign the pledge. The nest night he came again sober, and was converted. One of the converts was convicted of sin whilst drinking at a public house. A man entered and began to scoff at religion. This made the seeker after truth indignant, and although he tried to shake off the impression that had been upon him, he was nueuccese- ful, and ultimately he surrendered to Christ. During the last thre^ weeks services have been held, and earnest Gospel auuresaes have been delivered by Professor Brown, whose counsels to inquirers have been of the most enlightening and encouraging nature. There j have been some remarkable manifestations of the Holy Spirit's presence, and amongst the converts are several who have been known for their drunkenness and riotous beh-av-ionr. One man had broken up his home four times in four and a half years, and bad been tried for manslaughter, having struck a blow dur- ing one of his pugilistic combats which proved fatal to his opponent.

PONTARDAWE. Seventeen new converts have been baptised at Adula-m Chapel. — l:

PONTYPOOL The workmen at the Blaensychan Colliery assemble for prayer each morning at the bottom of the shaft. There have been over 233 conversions in the town. The Misses Davies and Watkins hiave con- ducted meatings art, the Forward Movement- ba.ll. From the Tabernacle 56 converts are reported, and a similar number from the Primitive Methodist Church. SoSo st Stopped A pathetic scene was witnessed at Ponty- pool. During a meeting a man in the gallery started singing" Tell mother I'll be there." A woman was so deeply moved thiat she fainted and bad to be removed to the vestry. The Rev. Mr. Nicholas, who was conducting the meeiting, immediately stopped the soloist., raying that the singing of such a hymn oaurs.e.d needless pain.

PONTYPRIDD. Inquiries amongst .the tradespeople go to show that the Revival is not having much effect in inducing people to pay their old debts. Messrs. A. E. Thomas and A. T. Phillips, two students from the Collegiate School, Pontypridd, have conducted a series of Revival m-ac-tings at Worcester. The meetings were crowded each evening, tho average attendance being about 1,500. Gipsy Smith has had 400 adults and 200 children in the inquiry rooms during last week.

RESOLVEN. A peer of the realm is stated to have been one of Evan Roberts's hearers at one of the Resolven meetings. His name is jealously guarded. He was in the company of Bishop Taylor-Smith. A feature of the mission was the united meeting of Churchmen and Nonconformists. The total number of the converts in ihe village is 480, and 52 of these are at the Parish Church.

RHAYADER. A little too-strict interpretation of the temperance test led to the departure, as a protest, of two of the most respected members (deacons) of, the local Baptist cause. The breach, however, caused great annoyance to the two gentlemen. The taking of a single glass ait very rare intervals, it is urged, does not constitute a drunkard.

RISCA, There have been 134 conversions at Bethany during the last few months, some of them having been remarkable oases.

ROGERSTONE. The Revival has been strikingly in evidence at all the chapels. In one inquiry room father embraced eon; husband and wife rejoiced together in several capes, and one prayed for his brother, who was seeking pardon. Altogether it was a moving soene. The converts number over 400 in the district.

RUABON. The Revival spirit seized the delegates at the annual conference of the Denbighshire, Flintshire, and Merionethshire Welsh Baptist Association arc Penycae Chapel, and the pro- ceedings instantly developed into a Revival gathering. An aged miner, namied Francis, surrendered as a. convert, and hiB stalwart eon prayed) in such a manner that he moved all present to tears. Another young man prayed so fervently that he collapsed.

SWANSEA. "Judge not that ye be not judged," observed tho Revivalist sternly. Then the brawny armed landlord came close to has tormentor, and with okaached fist, dramatically exclaimed, "Let him that thinkeith be standeth talio heed lest he fall." The Revivialist fled hurriedly. A Humprous Incident. At a. certain hot-el one of the Revivalists, wIij rose at 1C.33 a.m., started preaching to the landlord. The latter quietly rounded on his guest with the report that a man could not, be a good Clhrastiaai and stop in bed urltdl 10.50. That was his way of looking at thinge.

ST. DA VI D'S. Moefc energetic amongist the Revivalists have been Mr. William Davdes (" Roecribed") Mr. John Jones, and Mr. W. D. Williams, deacons at the Tabernacle Chapel, who have given themselves wholly to the work.

TREFOREST. The converts at Calfaria Baptist Chapel, Treforest, now number over ZJtO. thus more than doubling what the membership was two months ago.

TREDEGAR. A number of converts ha-ve been made in the works. Athlete Converted A man in the gallery at one of Sydney Jenkins's meetings thanked God for turning the heart of the winner of the first prize in the walk from Tredegar to Abcrgavenny and bacik last rammer. The athlet-a in question sprang to bis feet, and publicly confessed Ghrist. There were 48 conversions at the meet. ing.. Over 100 converts have joined Castle-street Congregational C'hnreh. At the annual meet- ing, held recently, the Rev. D. C. Harries said if it was at all possible to do something practical to keep, and train the young con- verts, and to develop the social as well as the purely devotional side of Christian lives, they were determined to do it. One step had been taken in the forma;tion of a boys' brigade.

TROEDYRHIW, At a meeting at Saron the congregation took affairs into their own hands, and at times eight to a dozen were praying simul- taneously. Converted Atheists. In ea.oh place of worship meetings are held nightly, and Ca.rmel Welsh Baptist has been well to the fore. Two converted atheists- Messrs. Evan Lewis and Tom-Ilughe- of Abetr- d=-e.-wwe assisted in a mission by Miss Rowlands, of Abercynon. At each ser- vice people crowded into the citapel, and ten were converted. This makes the number of Carmel converts 130.

I UPPER BOAT. During the meetings here there have been many conversions. The meetings were con- ducted by Mr. J. Parkyn, Loughor, Mr. J. Eva-m, Pontypridd, Miss Clarke, Goreainon, and Miss R. Williams, Goraeinon, who have been doing good work. There have been house-to-housa visitations, and people have been helped in more ways than one.

YSTRADGYNLAIS. Over fifty converts have been baptised at Ainon Baptist Chapel. The Rev. D. J. Davies, Llandilo, in the absence, through, illness, of the pastor (his son) performed the ceremony.

I WREXHAM. I Three hundred of the Rhoe Revivalists visited Wrexham' recently, and held a suc- cessful meeting. One man thanked the Almighty for bruising the devil's head, and asked Him to burn Satan's feet and cut his claws.

MILFORD HAVEN. Good work is being done among the fisher- men.

BEAUFORT HILL, Ma.da.me Kaite Morgan Llewellyn, of Dow- lais, has conducted a very successful mis- sion at the Presbyterian Church, Beaufort Hill.

I GENERAL. A conspicuous part in the Revival is taken by a lad of twelve, known as Tommie Roberts, of Towyn. The Revival has attracted visitors from almost every land, including India, and Aiis-t-raiia. The Revival is not without its humorous aspects. Colliery hauliers are beginning to complain that they cannot get their horses j to work now that swearing has been tabooed! I "Don't stay longer than three days in any ,t.it thr,ae day,? in any place. Then leave the work to others and I move on." This is the advice of Evan Roberts to his co-miesioners. "raith. hope, and obe- dience," he declares, "are what Wales must praj fcr." Tlio Saturday Review says that the Revival has come with all the force of a, dra- matic surprise. Though a. few materialists, a solitary English Radical, and the baser sort I of journalist may jeer, a new chapter seems I to have been opened in Welsh history which I ere it is ended may record events of deep religc-us interest to ether lands beside Wales. Financial Aspect t Evan Roberta receives monetary grants from the chapels which, he visits. Out. of I these travelling and other expenses of the evangelist and the young ladies who assist him have to be met. The disposal of the remainder lias yet to be decided by Mr. Roberts. He awaits the direction of the Spirit. Meanwhile he has received many j tempting offers which he has refused, worldly ¡ gain being far from his mind. Likes Evan RcJberts The Rev. F. S. Webster, the rector of All Souls' Church, Lang'ham-place, London, in recounting his experiences of the revival, says: —"Evan Roberts I like immensely. He is, I think, one of Nature's gentlemen. Tall, broad, athletic in figure, he has a very pleasant fThce, piercing eyes, and a most radiant smile. I don't suppose any photo- graph of him could re-produce the, brightness, the joyousness of his WÜlole being. I did I' not see the least fanaticism about him. He seemed to me to be a level-headed man and a natural leader of men."

AN OPEN-AIR BAPTISM. Results of the Revival in Pembrokeshire. North Pembrokeshire has been deeply stirred by the spirit of the revival. In one or two places business for at least one week was almost entirely at a S't3,.ndstilI. Veterans who had forsaken chapel for years previously, middle-aged, and young joined the meetings, prayed, recited, and sang with a fervency which knew no bounds. One of the results of the revival was the public immersion on Sunday week of 94 con- verts, members of Hermon Bapltim Chapel, in the Gwaun River, near the old stone bridge in the Own at Lower Pis'hguard. The day was one of the coldest experienced this winter, and, as an instance of the severity of the g-ale, there were some twenty steamers and sailing ships sheltering under the high cliff, unable to prooeed. At two o'clock the assembly had increased on both sides of the river and on the furze-covered hill to the number of between four and five thousand. The whole 94 candidates were immersed in 25 minutes.

THE REVIVAL NUMBER OF THE "EVENING EXPRESS" is rln-srm EVERY MONDAY. The present issue is the fifth we have published. Copies of the previous four numbers can still be obtained through newsagents or from the publishers at Cardiff.

REVIVAL REACHES PARIS. I 70 Converts at One Meeting. It seems that Paris has been reached by the Revival wave. Papers have been sent from Wales containing a full account of the great movement, and Welsh hymns have been trans- lated into French. For instance, "Dyma gariad fel y moroedd," which was translated into English by Dr. Edwards, principal of the Baptist College, Cardiff, has been translated into French, and jOunb' to the old Welsh tune, "Briton's Lament." At one of the meetings I between 70 and 80 people were converted.

REVIVAL AT GARNDIFFAITH Excellent work has been done here. Special services have been held every evening in all the places of worship. The streets have been ponaded previous to the meetings. At the Calviaistic Methodist Chapel the services are being conducted by Mr. J. H. Howe, the con- vertoo actor, of Pontypridd, whose invitations have been answered to a really marvellous extent. Mr. Howe's singing is a great feiature of the services, his powerful baritone voice thrilling the congregation. Some of the most IlÓote characters have testified for Christ. ———————————————

Lady Revivalists at Pontypool Revival meetings were conducted at the Forward Movement New Hall at Ponty- pool laSt week by Miss Mary Roberts, Lougbor (a, sister of the Revivalist), Miss Pris- cilla Watkins, and Miss Mary Davies, Gor- eeinon. Wednesday night's service was remarkable for the striking confessions which were made by young and old people from both ga-Ilery and floor. A fairly elderly lady, who had been a member of a Church for years, said she bad allowed the affairs of the world to come between herself and Christ, and pleaded her anxiety to get bcusk to the Cross.

WHAT A "GIDDY GIRL" CAN DO Miss S. A. Jones, of Xantymcel, like Miss Maggie Davies, dates her career as an evangelist from that extraordinary Greet- ing at the Bridgend Town-hall, where the little band of workers from Pontycymmer a.nd Maesteg had been left to begin their first day's work on their own account a.fter Mr. Evan Roberts had left for Pyle. Miss Jones was a few days previously "a frivolous girl— very frivolous," as she said to "Awetin" when. she went over thestqry ait that time; but sba is now not only one of the most earnest, but actually the most fervent, torrential, striking speaker-practical and pithy in address and powerful in prayer—of the littla band of girls who are supporting Mr. Evan Roberts, Mr. Dan Koberts, and Mr. Sydney Evans in this great work. This girl's description of her "conver- sion" and of the surpri&e of the people of the chapel at which she had been a member since she was fourteen years of age—"a useless, giddy member," she swid-is itself a word picture. The prayer meeting to which she was afterwards invited at her own chapel was not at the outset an encouraging one, but the sequel to it was that ehe was imme- diately invited to conduct services in the neighbourhood of Nantymoel. That she went there and to the surrounding districts with Miss Maggie Davies and that these two girls could at their own homes carry on the great work was a testimony to their courage and devotion, as well as to their abiltes. Many can do away from homo what they cannot. do among the companions of their youth. The cold, dissecting criticism of the people who are apt to say, "Fancy that one becoming a revivalist, is not so easy to overcome as the open opposition of strangers. "There no need for the Churches to lose their heads because 'a. giddy girl' has suddenly become religious; we had better wait and see," was one of the criticisms levelled at Miss Jones at Nantymoel in connection with the prayer meeting already referred to. The person who made that remark soon saw, and thousands of others have since seen and heard, how a giddy girl" could not only become serious, but become a power in the revival.

MSS MAGGIE DAVIES, MJBS Mag-gie Davies is the elder of the twll Maesteg sisters, whose singing in connection with the great meetings of Mr. Evan Roberta at the start formed such an important feature of the revival. Miss Maggie Davies'a position in the meetings of Mr. Dan Roberts is almost as important even from the vocal point of view as that of Miss Annie Davies at Mr. Evan Roberts's meetings. Miss Maggie Davies, however, does not confine her- self to singing, for she is a useful all-round evangelist.

"0 BECHADUR, WYT TI'N CREDUP" fBY GRIFFITH DAVIES, TYLOKSTOWN-l Several requests have been made for an English translation of the hymn with the above title, which appeared in the last nUll Iber of the Revival Express," and we hav. I heen favoured by Principal Edwards vitl the following re-idering:- Oome, 0 Saviour, to our meeting, Pour on us the Holy Ghost; Ere the world in flames will perish, Save, 0 save a mighty host. On the cloud I see One coming With great glory, clad with power; Listen, sinner! canst thou meet Him, Art thou ready for that hour? Jesus' love of all the greatest, Pull salvation for His foes; Heaven's gate is widely open, God knows when that gate will cloae, Jesus left His Throne in glory, Oame to earth with saving power; Listen, sinner! canst thou trust Him, Ere will come life's closing hour? See the land beyond Death's Kingdom, That inheritance so fair; See the saints of former ages Singing of redemption there. At this time the Spirit calletu— Galleth "now" with mighty power; Sinner, wilt thou not obey Him? Soon will come the last dread hour. Blessed be Thy name, Saviour, For the thousands brought to Thee, From the realms of sin and darkness j To the Kingdom of the free. Lord, speed on the great Revival, On the world Thy Spirit pour, So that all may find salvation Ere the last great solemn hour.
