Owen, of RetharaLa, Port/h, to become its pastor. Mrs. Da vies, wife of the Rev. David Davies, of Llandudno, while cond-uctiing a, children's service in the Tabernacle Chapel on Sunday morning, and shortly before its close, was seized wiitih a fit, and became onconscdons. She died on Sunday evening from heart failure. Baptismal services were held at the Mount Pleasant Baptist Chur-oh on Wednesday evening. Threo converts ware baptised, one young lady being from the Church of Eng- land. On the previous Sunday eight were immersed. This brings the total for this year to 38. Good results are continuing to be felt in the Water-street Baptist Church, Aberayon, in consequence of the Revival spirit. Twenty- eight were received into Ohurch fellowship by ba-prtism and two by restoration, and 25 are now before the Church, making an in- crease of 80 in two months. Evangelistic services have been held at the Baptist Churah, Troedrhiwgwair, Tredegar, conducted by the Misses E. Lewis and B. James, Tredegar, whose services were much appreciated by the Church and congregation. The mee-tiings were well attended and charac- terised by much fervour. There were 81 oon- verts, 52 desiring to become members of this ChuTcfh. At the annual meeting of the Newport, Man. (Commercial-street), Church reports were given of the various organisations, all of which were in a. prosperous condition and increasing in numbers and interest.. The Tear Book bad been circulated among the members, which showed a. total contribu- tionp, for all purposes, of E694 2a. Id., and a Omm increase in membership of 37, notwith- standing the transfer of a large number in the formation of the new Baptist Church in Llamth erwy-r oad. The Allocation Oommittee of the Twentieth Century Fund will meet on Wednesday, the 22nd inst. to determine the allocation of the balance of P,4,905 of the L125,000 set apart for the evangelisation of our native land and a great forward movement." All applications for assistance in the final allocation must be received by the Rev. J. H. Shakspeare, M.A., not later than the 15th inst. It is stipulated .that the scheme provides for a genuine exten- sion, and for aggressive and evangelising work. No application for assistance will be entertained from any church wlf?ch is not in membership with the BaiJtist Union.. Revival and Church Accommodation Mo-unro-utlighire has had under considers iion the question of additional accommoda- tion in the chapels to provide for the sudden increase in Church membership due to the Revival. The Rev. John Williams (eecrestary) reported that of the 82 Ghrunxihes im the asso- ciation 66 had sent in returns slhowing that 2,437 new members had been baptised, 747 per- sons had been restored to Church membership, and there were 3,276 candidates for baptism and 238 old members seeking restoration, representing an approximate total of 6,698 persons for whom accommodation had to be found. Permission for extensions of build- ings WIae granted in several cases.

CONGREGATIONAL. The Rer. O. L. Roberts, Liverpool, is writing the biography of the late Rev. Edward James, Nefyn. The Rev. W. Hopkin Rees, of Chi Chou, is on his way to this country for a. penod of furlough. Principal Fairbairn is to detliver a series of lectured at this year's meetings of the South Waiew Summer School of Theology. The Rev. J.

Eynon Davies, Beekenham, Kent, has accepted an invitation to deliver the annual collegiate address to the students of Carmarthen College. The annual report of the Welsh Indepen- dent Church at Pontycymmer (pastor, Rev. David Hughes) shows a membership roll of 354, this being a net increase of 78, while the total income was about £ 300. The Welsh Congregational Church at Horeb, Llwydeoed, Aberdare (pastor. Rev. W. ff. Davies) had at the end of the year 223 com- muni cants, as compared with 196 at the Mid of the previous year, or a net increase of 27, while the income was £7.43 4s. Sid- Midnight Prooessions The remarkable Revival at Kimgwwood, near Bristol (tbe Rev. F. Hugh Smith), con- tinues, and night after night the church is crowded to excess, amd hundreds áIre turned iaway. The Revival began an February 5, and nearly 700 oonvwmtoas have alreadr taken place in this ohurch alone. Midnight processions have been formed on the Satur- days after the closing of the publio-bouaee, and seoree of pledges have been taken by the men, many of whom had been hard drinkers. Mid-day prayer meetings are held in some of the factories.

CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOUR. The Bishop of Dufhaan has become a patron of the Church of England Denomina- tional Union. At the quarterly meeting of the National Executive Council it was reported that 110 societies, with 4,007 metwbers, h&d been regis- tered in the Briitilsh Union daring the past eleven week. The Bndeavwir penny" has Sbeen contributed by 996 societies, from which 43,656 pennies ba-m been received. For the first time in the history ort -tihe ttotMoaJ) Union The eraootire recently vfetoed Llaneftly. At present only one Christian Endeavour Society exists in the town, but it gives to the Welsh Christian Endeavour Executive one of its best lady workers in the person of Miss Maggie Griffiths, amd largely through her efforts the official visit was most admirably arranged. Every oommittee was able to present an excellon,t report of work accomplished. The welcome grant from the British. Execu- tive will enable the Welsh Union to proceed with a much needed work—namely, the intro- duction of Christian Endeavour into the churches situated in the Northern oounties. Special attention is to be given to the churches using the vernacular. Certain cen- tres have been indicated, amd arrangements are at this moment in progress for a very complete distribution of Welsh Christian Endeavour literature. To the Welsh Union's roll two new ttrong societies have been add-ed-nameily, the Na-ntyffn, Cwm/towe. Welsh Baptist, with 40 active and ten associate members, and the Siloam, Pentre, Swansea Welsh Congrega- tional, with fifty active, forty-one associate, and thirteen honorary members.

CALVINISTIC METHODIST. I A new church has been opened at Parety- ffynon, Carm arthenehire. It is feared thait legal difficulties will frus- trate we amalgamation of Bala and Tre- veoca Colleges. The Rev. John Jones, of Hebron, Anglesey, has been inducted mindatier at Brynrodyn, Carnarvonshire. The Rev. Philip Jones, pastor of the Welsh Chapel, Llandilo, has been presented with a study time-piece by the young people of the Churoh. The dearth has occurred of the Rev. T. F. Roberts, of Machynlleth. Mr. Roberts was a native of Llanmechllyn, and ha.d been in the ministry for orer 40 years. The Rev. Peter Hughes Griffiths, of Char- ing-cross Welsh Church, London, is now pro- nounced to be out of danger, and the doctors are sanguine as to his ultimate complete recovery. Mr. Jobn Hughes, J.P., 62, Port Dinorwic, died suddenly while on a visit to London. Mr. Hughes was one of the best known men in North Wales, and was connected with every public movement in Carnarvonshire. The Rev. Richard Burgees, the General Secretary of the Sunday School Union in India, is now on a visit to Wales. Mr. Bur- gees is a native of Port Talbot, and had his training in oonaieotion with the Forward Movement at Cardiff. In India Mr. Burgess travels on an average 8,000 miles a. year in connection with the work of the Union.

I PRIMITIVE METHODIST. I The Rev. J. M. Craddock, of CwmartaflJery, wtLy fill the vacancy at Nelaon, oaiuead by the death of the Rev. E. A. Davdes, D.D., AbertdTlery circuit, whidh will thus be unburdened of a second married preacher, will call out a pro- bationer, and, wtith this relief, haoten the creation of a. new ohoiroh. A rniccesftfuil missionary convention has been held in (the Isle of Man. The Rev. H. J. Taylor was the chief spfeaier, and all the Manix drcuifts took part. A missionary demonstration was held at Darlaeton on Monday, art. which tihe Rev. Jamee PickettA, general secretary, spoke.

I WESLEYAN. I A new English ahaped is to be built at Holyhead. As the result of evangelistic services at Pemza-nce, 60 persons ha-ve joined the Church. The Rev. Peiter Welach's ten days' mdsakwi in the new churrih at Dutffham heis been remarkably successful, over a 100 persona hav- ing enitered the inquiry^-rooms. The Rev. D. Gwymfryn Jones, who is at present in charge of the Welsh Church at Oa.pe Town, will return to Wales in a few months, and settle at L'amdudno. For over a monith North Seatan Church, in the Blyth Circuit, has been crowded every night, and overflow meetings have been held on Sundays. Altogether 80 admits amd 120 young people have professed conversion. The Revs. F. Bawden and G. Lang, assristbed by Sister Annie Lowden and Mies Helen Stranger, a frequent solcist at West London Mission services, have conducted a successful eight days' mission at Great Yarmouth. The professions of conversion niumbered 36. The spiritual energy generated in the Wigan Mission services conducted in the Hippodrome has spread to the Sitanddiahgate Cirouilit in thaA town. At Goose-green, Appley-bridge, and Lambarh cad-green upwards of 150 professions of conversion have been recorded, and during an eight days' mis- sion at the mother ahurch 80 persons enitered the inquiry-rooms and a number of pledges were taiken6 At Choi vers Coton, the mother church of Nuneaton Cirouit, 50 persons have enteired ilhe injquiry-rooms and 60 pledges have been taken at a ten days' mission, oonduoted by fu Joseph Stinger, of Doncaetcr. At Ather- stone when the Rev. E. H. Maggs opened a series of epeoial services, 60 Sunday scholars and 40 adults professed conversion. The visit of the Goepel oa.r G.vaoe" to Staokinfard during the past mon/tih has resulted in the addition of 100 professed converts to the church. The Rev. Wallace C. Cook has held a mission aA Exeter, in Mint CQnurdh, and 360 peraoms have professed ommeaiton. At Bristol the Revival spirit moreases in force. The neigh- bourhood of Kimgswood, the eoeoe of John Wesley's earliest triumphs, has been greatly affected, the converts numbering 700. At Bed- minster nightly prayer meetings have been held for six oomeooutive weeks, and striking oases of coTXwirsioJi have occurred. For the past fooTtadgtht COltlboon Church, in King-street- court, ihJM been the scene of remairkable meet- ings, Miss May John, one of the Welsh Revival singers, taking part. Wesleyan Church, Cheadle Evangelist Few has just conducted eo won- derful miasion here, this being in the Stock- port circuit. The chapel has been crowded and scores turned a.wa.y, and nearly a. hiun. dred converts have been meA&. It is the greatest Revival erer known in the neigh- bourhood.

I A Glorious Work in Middleebrough I The Middlesbrough Wesleyan quarterly meeting was unique in many respects, but the moot striking feature waa the desire for prayer. One of the brethren referred to the gracious work God was doing in Wales, and he had not been speaking long before the meatiDg was on fire. The Rev. Bamford Bur- rows, after a few prayers, asked the members to get througQi the business with all the des- patch, so tihat a, prayer meeting might be held, and for a. long time supplication wag made to God. It was a heart-eearching time; fresh resolves were made. Mr. Burrowe, called togotfher all the mem- beiv of the quarterly meeifctog far prayer and I II couneeL The outcome was two proposals that hove retrod, utikjiuieed the religious life of Middlesbrough. One mo-tbe aatefelMonenit j of a united prayer meeting on FiricLay even- f ings at Wesley, the other a mid-day prayer meeting at Wesley from 12.30 to 1.30. The meetings have gained in power and influence. Those who attended on Fridays aaked for the ohapel to be opened on Saturday nigiht also. Now two prayer a,nd testimony meetings are carried on, the chapel being full downstairs for both. Conversions ait these services are the rule. People have frequently spoken of the glorious days of long ago, but nothing has been seen lika bhis in Middlesbrough before. These meetings have been going on for eight weeks, and the interest iB greater than ever. A host have joined the League of Intercession, and morre are coming in. Conversions all over the circuit are the order of the day. At some of the ordinary servi as many as fifteen conversions hare taken II place.

SALVATION ARMY. I The Dowager Counitess of Seafiald has written an artdtlo on Why I Joined the Auxiliary League of the Salvation Army." Lady Seafield lias been in close touch with the Army for some fourteen years, and hias seen with increasing admiration bow effec- tive is ite work. The purp-ose of the auxiliary iÏ3 to bring into closer contact those people who, wfhile not necessarily approving of all the Army's methods, desire to help its wcrk by eivang their prayers, influence, and money.

Y.M.C.A. I There has been a remarkable spiritual movement aanongst the junior members of Birkenhead Association. A number have pro- fessed con/version. French Switzerland has now 98 boys' branches. A travelling secretary has been appointed to extend the work to every one of the associations in this ddBtriot. The work of the association in Norway him largely increased during the past year. The central committee has received permission to organise in ail the churches of the country speciaJ collections for the development of the work, and the whole of the money so raised will go to the jubilee fund. The jubilee has just been celebrated of Philadelphia Association. The work in Philadelphia was organised in June, 1854, and is now carried on at 21 different centres, fifteen buildings are owned or controlled by the association, the present value of whoee property exceeds £ 200,000. The totai member- ship is 4,636. I

GENERAL. I It is proposed to raise a gram, of £10,000 in connection with the opening of the new Assembly Hall of the Presbyterian Church at Belfast to wipe out the debt on foreign mis- sions and on the Assembly buiktengs. Presbyterian churches throughout the world are being urged by the Scottish and English Moderators to celebrate the 400th anniversary of the birth of John Knox on Ma.y 21, or a day as near as possible to that date. The premises of the Kingham. Miie&ion for the deaf amd dumb, organised in 1398 by the late Mr. John King-ham, form a religious and I educational oentre for the 300 PS-eabyterian deaf mates of Ulster. In the past yealr a home for the aged and infirm, amd for appren- tice girls, has been established. At the 35th anniversary of Norwich First Day Sahools of the Society of Friends, an irjeroasa of 67 members was reported, the toitial being 1,057, with an average attendance of 803. All the provident agencies had been largely supported, and 1,320 members joined the Christmas club, into which. £1,003 was paid. At the animal meeting of the London Gaelic Berrioe CoramiMee, presided over by the Rev. Alex. Macrae, of Crown-count Qhurah, arrangements were ma.do for conducting the Gaelic scrmoes during the present year. It wis stated that the services were now estab- lished 03. am. enduring basse. The fact that OaeMo-apeaking Highlanders in London, representing the Established and Non-Esitab- iifihed Churches heartily supported the ser- vioes, was regarded as a signriiloaiut oonen of happier days for the Churches in Scotland. 3,000 Converts at Newcastle-on-Tyne The great united evangelistic mission in the Exhibition Hall, Newoaetle-on-Tyne, has been brought to a close. It is estimated that some 3,000 oonverte have been received into the various Churches or are.-now under the care of Christian workers as a result of the four weeks' Revival services. The final meeting wiU long be renlembered by those privileged to be present. Revival Per Telephone One of the features of the Revival is the mid-day prayer-meeting at the slate quarries in North Wales. Here the quarrymen gather in the various galleries at noon, and pray and aing. The sound of the music as it echoes and re-echoes through the galleries in the vast amphitheatres of the quarries is thrilling. A gentleman engaged at the quarry offices in the NantUe Vale rang1 up a. Carnarvon man by telephone the other day. Listen to the singing," he said, and the man at the other end placed the receiver to his ear, and could clearly hear the Revival music and the I strains of "Diolch Iddo" ascending from the deep quarry pits.

Col YOUNGHUSBAND'sI INTERVIEW WITH MR. DAN ROBERTS. Among the distinguished visitors who have been anxious to witness the character of the great revival movement in Wales may now be included the name of Colonel Sir Frank Younghusband, whose intrepid march through the desolate and dangerous country which lies between oirt" Indian possessions and the country ruled by the Llamas of Tibet, has made him famous in the history of the British Empire. His settlement of the Tibetan difficulty led to the opening up to trade and, indirectly, to the influences of Christianity, a huge country from which British and Indian travellers were scarcely ever allowed to return, and never permitted to fully penetrate. Taking a deep interest in religious matters, Sir Frank Younghusband decided as soon as he arrived in this country that he would endeavour to see and hear for himself the character of the Welsh revival, and try to come into direct contact with some of the leaders of the movement. Re. therefore, accompanied by his cousin, the Rev. Oswald Younghusband, of Clifton, came to South Wales on Tuesday, and, on learning from the newspaper reports that Mr. Evan Roberta was now silent, visited Pontypridd, where Mr. Dan Roberts is now conducting a. series of revival meetings. Having been honoured by a call from Sir Frank Younghusband, I obtained for the visitors an introduction to the evangelist (writes our special cor- respondent) and was present during an interesting interview which took place between them. Colonel Younghueband expressed at the outset great pleasure at meeting Mr. Dan Roberts, and declared that he took very great interest in the revival, and would have been very glad of an opportunity of meeting Mr. Evan Roberts as well, but being obliged to leave for London, and thence to proceed to Scotland, he was sorry he could not wait for the expiration of the period of silence imposed upon Mr. Evan Roberts. He made inquiries as to the story of Evan Roberts's life, and was much interested in the bio- graphical details furnished him. There were, he said, manifest signs of a religious awaken- ing and expectation, quite apart. from the revival in Wales, and he asked whether Mr. Evan Roberts and Mr. Dan Roberts were of opinion that the revival was destined to spread abroad to other countries. "Yes," replied Mr. Dan Roberts; "my brother thinks it will spread all over the world." "I am glad to hear you say that," remarked the soldier, "for I take a deep interest in these matters. I know there is a distinct awaken- ing in many countries, and especially in the East. PeopLe in India, for instance, &re growing to think more of the influences of Christianity than they used to do. They do not accept the doctrines of Christianity po much as the great principles of it. The life of Jesus Christ is studied and accepted by many in India who have not yet entirely a,bamdoned Buddhism. After asking further questions as to the character of the gatherings and as to how the revival movement bad oome to spread, and on Mr. Dan Roberts promptly stating that there had for some time been expectations in various parts of Wales for some such awakening, the visi- tor remarked that that sort of expectation seemed to be very prevalent just now. Be added that he had seen revivals of various kinds during his long stay in India, and what had struck him was the seeming spon- taneity of the outbreaks and of the services held, and which seemed to him to be very much the same in that respect as the revival in Wales. In conclusion, Sir Frank asked Mr. Dan Roberts to tell his brother, when he had the opportunity, of the visit, and the great interest which he (the visitor) took in the revival and the revivalists. Mr. Roberts promised to do 80. Revivals in the East I In the course of a subsequent interview with me, Sir Frank repeated his references to the revivals in the East, and readily consented to express his views more fttlly. He said that very often in the vast country in which he had spent so much time a youth or young man, more spiritualised than his neighbours or colleagues, would arise and be talked about in his own village or district. People would discuss him and his views, and it would become a matter of notoriety that a "good man" had arisen in such and such a place. Then he would be invited to speak to the people, and larger and larger gatherings would flock to hear him, and the religious revival caused by his teachings would improve the people. The climatic conditions being different from those in this country, the gatherings were in India invariably held in the open air, while here, obviously, the opportunities for open-air revival services were not numerous. But the spontaneity of the proceedings in those Eastern revival meetings was very much the same as that which he had read of in connection with the Welsh revival. He referred specially to two such revivalists who had made a great stir within recent years-one of them had been to this country and could deliver English addresses on his return to hie native country. They were religious reformers, and introduced many of the features of the Christian religion, but could not be described as Christian religious teachers. "It would not be right to describe such people as heathen, I suppose?" I asked. "Oh, no," was the reply. "They are FLEE AS A BIRD. exceedingly intelligent, and many of them learned men, and they are difficult people to deal with upon the point of abandoning their own religion amd accepting Chris- tianity in its entirety; but. ae I have said, there is a, tendency to accept and apply many of the teachings of Christ in preference to some of the things taught by their own creeds, while retaining Buddhism as their outward religion and Buddha, as their God." "Do you think there is any probability of this revival spreading to the East?" I inquired. "Well, I oan only say," was the reply, "that the expectation of a great religious awakening is sucth that I am hoping it will. I am most deeply interested in it." Later on Sir Frank attended the meeting addressed by Mr. Dan Roberts at the Temple Baptist CJbapel, and when leaving, towards the close, to catcTi his train he said he had been very much impressed. The spontaneity of the proceedings; the manner in which everything went on without control by Mr. Roberts or anyone else; tihe singing, the addresses, and th-6 prayers had all made a deep impression on his mind. Some of the WeWh prayers and addresses were inter- preted to him, and the major said, no doubt, the originality of the remarks, due to the burning enthusiasm of new converts, helped to give the service the "swing" which was so noticeable. He had been very anxious to see all he could for himself, and he had seen and heard more than he had hoped possible to get in a hurried journey such as he had been obliged to pay. Had you heard of the revival before you came home to this country?" I asked, and the reply wa.s, I think I first heard of it in Egypt, and then when I came to Liver- pool there was a great talk about the Torrey-Alexander revival meetings, so I determined to see those and the Welsh revival if I possibly could. But the Welsh revival is evidently the most spontaneous in character. Of course, there is very much left to the congregations in the Torrey- Alexander services, and the great work done is very impressive; but there is a stated or understood, time at which Dr. Torrey delivers an address, and there are times when hymns are sung and expected to be stcng, and when hymn a-nd tune booka are used, and the con- gregation is led; but here the whole service seems to be going on without any conductor or control, and very beautiful and impressive it is. But, if I may say so, the prayers that were most striking to me were, not those of the practised speakers, but thoee of the people who evidently were not in any way trained, and especially 4H the young women."

Distinguished Visitors. I The earnestness and enthusiasm which bave ohaa-acterised the services held in con- nection with Mr. Dan Roberts's visit to the owtlyirrg new districts of Pontypridd con- tinued to mark the gatherings which took place at the Graig, where, 'at the Baptist Temple, there »were large congregations on Tuesday. It appears that the local cam- mittee had not made arrangements for an afternoon service, and the evangelists having been so advised did not put in am appearance. In the midst of a fall of snow, however, there gathered outside the closed doors of the Temple a consadera,ble crowd, and when a message had been sent to the chapel-keeper the doors were thrown open and a most interesting and impressive service followed. The Rev. E. Lewis (Calvary) and the Rev. P. CaJlier (Wealey Clhajpel) invited visitors to give as well as to receive by relating experiences. The Rev. Mr. Scott, Ipswitfti, and several ministers and evangelists from London and the Midlajid Counties spoke, and among the looaJ speakers were recent converts, whoee testimonies aroused much interest. One of them, who declared that a few months ago he was one of the greatest drunkards in the district, said he was a. living monument ot the saving powor of the Gospel. He was, he said, for some unexplained reason, for three weeks prior to hie conversion so troubled over his condition that he had frequently to go to the mountain side to weep. When he heard of Evan Roberts's meetings at Ponty- pridd he started three times, and actually turned back home twice, and when the third time he got to the lobby of the chapel he could not enter, but hearing Evan Roberts say tha.t the singing of Diolch iddo with the whole heart was sufficient to drive the devil away, he went out, and, prone on his face on the Pwllgvraun tramroad, he gave his heart to God, and suboequently entered the chapel and declared himself a." convert. In the evening Mr. Dan Roberts, accom- panied by Miss Maggie Davies (Maesteg), Miss S. A. Jones (Nantymoel), and Miss Mary I Da,vies (Gorseinon), conducted a service in the same chapel. Among those preeent were Major Sir Frank Younghusband, the leader of the successful expedition to Tibet (who has recently returned from India), the Rev. Oswald Younghusband, of Clifton (his cousin), and a number of visitors from England. Ireland, and Scotland. There was a crowded congregation. The meeting was certainly one of the best type of services yet held in the district, and the declarations of conver- sions were hailed with fervent Songs of Praises" and "Diolch iddo."

Impressive Services. Mr. Dan Roberts continued his mission at Coedpenmaen Baptist Chapel, Pontypridd, on Monday afternoon and evening, and the services were throughout of an impressive and interesting character. One peculiarity of these gatherings has been their duoglot character. The meetings have been held in three English and three Welsh chapels, and at each place both languages have been freely used without any apparent friction or dissatisfaction, thus proving once more the cosmopolitan character of the revival. The service ou Monday afternoon was quieter and calmer than either the Sunday night or Friday night meetings, but a deep spirit of devotion prevailed. One of the petitioners, referring to the awakening which has taken place amongst the Churches of the various denomiziatiocas in the district, [ said "the cobwebs of indifference were so thick about our spiritual edght ae to prevent us from seeing Thy face." Mr. Dan Roberta delivered a brief Welsh address, in the course of which he again emphasised the need and the power of prayer in drawing blessings. English and Welsh prayers followed, singly and simultaneously. A blind man who had become a convert about a week ago, delivered a brief English address, and declared that esulration was like a plum pUddingo-nobody knew what it really was like until it was teusfced. Another English prayer which aroused a chorus of "Amena" was one by a young ma.n who fervently asked for the conversion of his own father, and that it should take pla-ce that night. During a wave of simultaneous prayers shortly after four o'clock there was intense fervour, which was only interrupted tempo- rarily, but very sweetly, by a gentle outburst of song, a praying lady striking up, in the midst of her English prayer, the hymn, "Nothing but the blood of Jesus," and, as soon as the singing ceased, the simultaneous prayers were continued in Welsh and English. A Welsh convert urged members of Christian Churches to be careful not to keep away from the servioes of the places of worship to which they were attached, for, he said, they bad no idea what consequences would fol- low. He himself had only intended keeping away from chapel for a Sunday or two beoause of a little tifT he had had with a brother in the church, but he drifted and kept away from God for twenty years. He was thankful that the revival had come, and thaft he had once more been brought to the fold. Another convert from Ystrad said he had been connected with various kinds of 6ports and a bit of pugiltom, so that be had been on the verge of destruction, and if any- one had told him three months ago that he would to-day be addressing young men in a religious meeting he would have flatly con- tradicted him. and that in no choice term. In the evening the eervioa, held iID, the same chapel, was crowded, and again a deep spirituaJ feeling prevailed. The service began some time before the hour announced, and Mr. Dan Roberts, on his arrival, delivered a very impressive address in Welsh. The three young lady evangelists-Miss Maggie Davies (Maesteg), Miss Mary Davies (Gorseinon), and Miss Jones (Nantymoel)—were present. A convert of only three weeks addressed the meeting with an eloquence which was evidently begotten of sincerity. The meeting went on, prayer, praise, and testimony in English and Welsh alternating. It was nearly ten o'clock before the meet- ing had become particularly warm and excit- ing, and by this time the simultaneous prayers, accompanied by tender singing, had become quite prevalent. When the Benedic- tion was offered it was thought that the con- gregation would disperse, but no sooner had the lobby become pretty closely packed than "Diolch iddo" and "Songs of Praises" came from the lobby, and it was declared that further converts had been enrolled on the way out from the building. Another start was made with the meeting, and subse- quently, at nearly eleven o'clock, a procession was formed, which marched along Coedpen- maen-road, Trallwn, and into Taff-street, Pontypridd, where, in front of the house of Mr. R. Davies, the host of the lady evangelists, hymn-singing was continued for a consider- able time.

SUNDAY SCHOOL WRINKLES. The Stormy Day Brigade was originated to discourage absence' on the stormy days, when the temptation to stay at home is strong. The condition of membership is the promise to be present every stormy Sunday, and each member is given a badge to wear on those days. It is made of bright-coloured ribbon with the name of the Brigade and school thereon. The idea is a good one, and is quite popular with the children. All chil- dren are pleased when recognition is made of any little act of self-sacrifice which they may have performed. In starting the "Recruiting I/eglon," re- ferred to last week, a. circular letter was poeted to a.ll the members of the Church who were not connected with the school, explaining that the purpose of the society was to enrol evrey member of the Church and congregation on the Sunday School register, and inviting their co-operation. The plan was tried for three months. It was upheld with enthus- j iasm and pleasant rivalry, and at the end of the time set more than three hundred new members had been added to the school. They were then formally welcomed at an enter-- tain men t, and a banquet was given by the Sunday School to all those who possessed buttons.

The centenary of the birth of Dr. James Martirumu falls on Good Friday, AprM 21, and it is proposed to celebrate the everut at Octagon Church. Norwich, both on that day and Easter Monday. Dr. Martineau was born at NoarwvLoh, and as a child and young man wa/3 Connected wistih Octagon Church. Many off hoo most dietingmaiied students and many of the living representatives of his faanaly j will attend the celebrations.

CHURCH MISSION. I k SUCCESSFUL REVIVAL AT CARDIFF. The New and the Old Methods I There is a tendency to regard the revival in Wales as a religious movement which finds expression in (1) singing, (2) praying aloud in a public assembly, (3) in intercession for others, and (4) in public confession of sin. Preaching we are told plays a very small part in it. The singing, praying aloud, inter- cession, and public confession are extem- pore, spontaneous, and follow no order. The simplicity amd reality of those affected secure Teverenoe. There is no direction from a minister, and no uniformity in the pro- ceedings. The revival we are told is a reli- gious movement which has dethroned for the time being the minister, amd, as the services in Churoh have always been under the control of the clergy, the Church is unable to reap the fruit of this particulax movement because it can only express itself in the ways already indicated. This is (says a correspondent) an accurate description of what the Man in the Street thinks and say3. And some Churchmen have acquiesced, shaken their heads sadly, and said what a pity it is we cannot feel the influence. There is, on the other hand, oon- siderable evidence for believing that this view is untrue. Many Church missions have been held lately at whioh there has been unusual earnestness, and these have been conducted on the old lines under the direc- tion of missioners. The latest example is the mission recently preached in Oanton. This was prepared for in the usual vray. The arrangement* were made aoone nine months ago, long before the newspapers had discovered the revival, tMid Mr. Evan Roberts had, through bis mag- netic influence, popularised the methods indicated above, which are believed by very many to he the only possible methods. At Canton a letter was issued from the late bishop containing his blessing on the mission. This was followed at an interval by one from the clergy to the parishioners, containing more definite statements as to wharf, was going to be done, and asking for the prayers of all. Then, after an interval, came a letter from the missioners. Then the time-tables of the services were issued, and were delivered at each of the 4,000 houses in the pariah by persons who asked the house- holders to give their kind thought to the letters, to read them, and to pray. Then, when the mission came nearer out-of-door processions were organised to certain spots, wbere. a stand was made, and out-of-door addresses delivered. These were continued even after the missioners' arrival, and pre- ceded the mission services on the. first six nights of tihe eleven days during which the preaohing lasted. The services during the mission were: — Holy Communion, at 7.30 a.m. A devotional address, at 11.0 aOL Servioes for women, a.t 3.0 p.m. Services for children, at 5.45 p.m. Mission services, at 8.0 p.m. On Sundivys there were services far men only at 4.0 p.m. Dinner Hour Services I Arrangements were also made for dinner- hour services at the various works in the parish. The time-table was the usual time- table of a Church of England mission. There was nothing distinctive of the methods so popular elsewhere, and believed by many to be essential in order that the spirit of the revival should be caught. The results were amazing. From the very first the churches were filled at night, while morning after morning men and women in ever-increasing niumbers came to the 7.30 a.m. and the. eleven am. services. The attendance of women only in the afternoon was very large. The children thronged the three churches—for this programme was carried out in each of the three churches in the pariah—at 5.45, while during the later nights of the mission hun- dreds were turned away from the eight p.m. service. The parish church was filled with men only at four p.m. on Sundays, and peti- tions to come again and again to the works for dinner-hour services could not be acceded to because the physical strength of the mis- sioners would not permit of their accepting all the invitations. The sermons were not sensational. They were those of skilled craftsmen, it is true; but they dealt most simply with "the old, old story," with the facts of our Paith, with baptism, confirmation, communion, the love of God, the help He gives to man, the bate- fulness of sin, man's need of repentance, and the aids he may receive. There was everywhere evidence of a. revival, a deep Beriousness, and intense earnestness. Men and women who had not darkened the doors of any place of worship came, and came again, and at least 1,000 resolution cards were given to those who definitely determined, by the help of God, to make a step forward in their lives. All this was effected under the providence of God by the ordinary methods adopted in Church missions. May we not ask the Man in the Street to re-consider his conclusion that the spirit of the revival can only find expression if the pews are unfettered and the pulpit is gagged? A Deep Religious Movement Is not the revival a deep religious move- ment going on around us, and one for which expression can be found in the Church as easily as in the chapel? Is it not an expres- sion of man's longing for the love of God, for help from God? Of man's awakening out of a slumber of satisfaction at his great achievements in the material world to a reoollection of the spiritual side of his nature, whose needs can only be supplied by appeal to God? The hundreds of intercessions offered by the missioners, who read out from the little slips of paper dropped into boxes near the doors, intercessions for husband, or father, or sister, or mother, or brother, for those who had fallen away, for those in bodily or spiritual sickness were so numerous and so varied as to cover a large area of the ground of human need and human sorrow; and the many thanksgivings for prayer answered were read out in the eame way. Do not these strengthen our contention that the revival is a revival of faith and earnest- ness, that it is not bound down to any par- ticular religious body or any particular method of expression, but that it affects us all, that Churchmen can catch its power without departing from ways familiar to them. and that it is their duty and their wisdom to vivify their lives, and to afford every opportunity and encouragement to all members of Christ to catch the contagion of spiritual earnestness and joyousness which are characteristic of this outpouring of the Spirit which is filling our land with gladness. ——————————————

DR, CYNDDYLAN JONES ON REVIVALS I Dr. J. Cynddylan Jones, Cardiff, the orga- nising secretary for South Wales, was the principal speaker at the annual meeting of the Tredegar Branch of the British and- Foreign Bible Society at Saron Chapel, Tre- degar. The Rev. D. M. Rom presided. Dr. Jones referred to the various Welsh revivals since 1700 to the present time. Wales had benefited in different ways from each of those revivals. In 1700 the benefit wae hym- nology, in 1E00 theology, and to the revival of 1859 might be attributed the rise of edu- eat&on.-Th-e report of the local secretary (Mr. J. Lloyd) showed that £ 23 GA. 9d. had been handed over to the society aM the result of laat year's collection in the town. I

Mr. Dan Roberts' Success Mr. Dan Roberts continued his mission in the Graig district of Pontypridd on Wednes- day, the services in the afternoon and even- ing being held at Temple Chapel The evening meeting was very largely attended, the chapel being quite over-crowded before the announced time of opening. Aa usual, there was very little time wasted, and the proceedings soon commenced with the sing- ing of a. hymn, and once à. start was made there was no cessation to the flow of song and prayer. An aged gentleman, praying very fervently, seemed to kindle the "fire" at the beginning, for the meeting and the sub- sequent proceedings were of a fervent charac- ter. Though there were none of th<)F-e over- powering scones which are often such out- sta-nding features at Mr. Evan Boherte's meetings, the revival spirit was most pro- nounced, and there were occasions when the service was of a very impressive character From beginning to end English predomi- nated, and in this respect it waa gratifying to note that the meeting itself wa-s also reflective of the character of the Graig sec- tion of Pontypridd, for there is hardly any other part of the town so pronouncedly Eng- lish. The evangelist had evidently noted this, for he often translated his remarks in the vernacular into English. Mr. Bobertg was accompanied by Miss Maggie Davies, Miss Mary Davies, and Miss S. A. Jones, all of whom took a very effective part. The meeting was, perhaps, remarkable for the number and fervency of the interces- sory prayers offered. One woman prayed very earnestly for the reformation of her brother and his family; another prayed for a brother who was bent upon "going to China" to be a missionary. In ardent allu- sion to this feature Mr. Roberts subsequently encouraged the people to pray for those near and dear to them, but it was, he said, quite unnecessary to mention those prayed for by name. God knew whom they referred to, whoever and wherever they might be. A man got up to the front seat to my that he had noticed the other day that there were 100,000 applicants every year for enlistment in the Army "of our noble King Edward," but of these 62 per cent, were declared unfit for enlistment, whereas during the laat few. months through the revival no lœs than 60,000 had applied for enlistment in the army of King Jemw and not one was regarded ae unfit-the ma.imed, the Lame, the blind, an who had a. soul to save, were welcomed. Miss S. A. Jones, taking the cue from the last speaker, made quite an eloquent appeal to all "to join this army." Instead of the "King's shilLing," they would be given a "crown"; instead of a small wage per day, they would be given "100 per oent. of the blessings of this world and eternal life in the world to oome." In the course of his address Mr. Dan Roberts emphasised the absolute necessity of prayer. But let no one do anything to show himself. Let man be out of sight, so that God might be revealed. He also asked that people should widen their petitions. Let them pray not only for friends and relatives, but let them pray for other people end other countries. Prayer was all-important—it was prayer whioh reached Heaven.' The meeting proceeded very finely on the usual revival lines. Miss Maggie Davies's sing- ing of Oh, Iesu Mawr rlio'thonian bur," and Hen Gerbyd yr achub (" The old chariot of salvation "), and a. brief address by Miss Mary Da.vies being particularly effective. A ready and unforced responsiveness was a marked feature of the meeting. A woonan praying that the power" might be sent to save her brother and his family was the signal for the immediate and prayerful ren- dering of Oh Lord, send the power," whilst a plirticularly earnest prayer of another called forth ,f For you I am praying." Mr. Roberts's emphasis on the need and importance of prayer evidently had a wonder- ful effect on the audience. Usually" a word of prayer culminated in song, but at this meeting the order seemed to be reversed, and more than once the singing had to give way to the praying, Mr. Roberts incidentally urging that the singing should always be of a quiet, plaintive character whilst prayer was going on. 1 The meeting was prolonged till nearly ten o'clock, and its close wae again marked by some more beautiful singing of Welsh as well as English hymns.

REVIVAL FERVOUR IN DURHAM I Revival fervour still e-pmuds in Nort-h-lVeop Durham. At Oonsett services have been L duoted by the Rev. W. H.
