I ALONG THE CAMBRIAN I COAST. (BY RHISIART 0 FADOG.) With the pormissi<!>n of The Edikw it is my jilt-elitioll to publish "Penand Ink Vigiit4Uw" of the leading Jooai eolebrititw along t)he co". To-day I give No. 1 and No. 2. No. I. pe s Nev i ti born, and otart'ed Weil, At Mela won rCflown; And thlti he left his rural home To i>iac-ti-e in p. town.

His life is like a perfume sweet, Thait fK»rmeats the social life; His efforts always tend to bring Sweet peace on earth, and end all strife. Whene'w he sptsaks, as alderman, Or ohairman of the lo-cal Bench, The fublic hearken to hi? voice— He i", a man of common-sense. I Though Eifion born, he lives amongst ^leiriona'- mighty rocks of slate And renders gracious service there, In matter- lacal and of State. Mr John Thomas, of Barmouth, is re- tiring after a sorvice of 47 years in the teaohing profC-ion. I have known him all my life, and like the rest of his acquaint- ances appreciated him a.i a man of siterling character. He influenced livens of hundred s of the lyay, and gills of the town and dis- trict, who were old pupils during his head- master-hip. Many of these in after-life became prominent in religious, professional and commercial circles, and they entertain happy recollections of their schoolmaster. < < it < I have received quite unsolicited letters from many persons resident in different parts of the coast approving of the remarks I have made from time to time on the great change that has taken place in peo|»le'.s social and re-ligiou, views. The writers point out that a section of the com- munity still cling to the old order of things, and urge that opposition must be over- come, while on the other hand there- are people who have come to regard the old systems as obsolete and unsuited to the needs of the present day. If. for instance, the old custom of forcing young people to society meetings wa.s good. how is it that lhqse young people who are adults to-day have revolted against the sy "tern ? w Though I do not deem it a subject for newspaper discussion, yet I am pressed by appeals from many qitarters to refer to tho way the Sunday School is neglected and ignored by people who owe to it almost the whole of their religious knowledge. We talk about sending missionaries to foreign lands, whilst there is plenty of work to be done iil-our own country. Says one correspondent: — "I would multiply in- .-tance.T of how lacking in religious duties Sronie of our well to-do people are." An- obhclr correspondent finishes a long letter by saying:-—"If ever our Sunday Schools dio out, it will be a sad time for our ehurohe-s and the country." A minister left home one Saturday after- noon to fulfil his Sunday appointment. He had about two miles to walk to the nearest i-a., lnva-v station, and on the way met a poorly-clad woman, who knew him well. iihe related to him her distressing ci rcumsta n cos— husband ill, and several tittle children wanting food. Deeply touched, t,he minister handed her a pound note—-the only money he had at the time. Resuming his journey, it suddenly dawn- ed upon him that he had no money to pay his railway fare. He called upon a friend on the way and obtained from him the loan of one pound. Tho following Mon- day he called to repay the debt. but the friend, having in the meantime hoard of the minister' j charitable deed, declined to take the money back. f Mumc is very rrtioh to the fore at all our local competitive meetings; singers seem to monopolise the programmes almost, and the bards and essayist have to take a back seat. In one meeting two guineas were off trey as a prize for a solo, and 3s 6d for an essay. Mrs l)avie.s. l-R.H.S., late headmistress of Liangybi School, has beon presented with an a.ddms". and a wallet of Treasury nartcs of the larger ort. The Rev. John Davies (Isfryn) handed the address, and Mr D. H. I >avie>. 'Ror>edd, the wallot to Mrs\Davies, and in doing so referred to the excellent work -he had done in the sch ool. Mr Hugh Evans, Drws y-Coed Uohaf, who died la.st we-ek, came of a noted family of C'alvini'tic 'Meithodiats, who were pro- minent in the work of the Connexion in iti hi!?tory in the di$l'id. a: ? ? Yesterday (Thursday) was unveiled at C-ae Athraw Cemetery a monument on the grave of the lat. Nfr W. T.

For over a century and a decade its editorial chairs has been occupied by picked men of brilliant ability. They expounded a cause and a set of principles. But they have always been, in fundamentals, the same cause and the same principles. The Tory paper that W. E. Gladstone wrote letters to when a yaung Conservative is now among the most powerful journalistic directors of Conservative opinion in the Kingdom. Its policy has been identified with the rise and progress of Liverpool. It has outlived all its old rivals, it constitutes to-day a live testimony to the triumph and winning power of its advocacy of a great cause. The romance of the Courier's evolu- tion from the I. folio of four pages printed on a little hand machine in the Liverpool of George Ill's time to the giant sheet that issues long before sunrise from the huge building in Liverpool's Fleet Street, re- presents, indeed, a wonderful triumph of human energy and enterprise during the reign of six monarchs. If the ghost of its first editor and founder could visit the Courier's spacious modern home he would infallably be amazed at the present power and magnitude of the journal whose founda- tions he laid. Despite that progressive outlook which eld '1 homas Kaye always embodied in his paper he would be bewildered at the ramifications of a great newspaper-house where everything had changed, and where nothing was recognizable- except perhaps the purpose of tbe carrier pigeons lofted over private wires; the electrically worked pneumatic tube which enables the G.P.O. in Liverpool to transmit the Courier's despatches underground in a couple of seconds-all these sights would be astonishing to him as the ceaseless incoming of news through day and night by train, post, land telegraphs, ocean cables, marconi- graphs and tape-machines, or as disturbing as the mighty engines whose roar scarcely ceases witn the dawn. But one glance at the finished product of all the feverish activity these sights imply would assure our ghost of the maintenance of those high traditions of independent, fearless journalism which old Thomaa Kaye could understand and applaud equally with his great successors ia the direct line-Charles Tinling and Sir John Willox. The famous daily Diplomatic Letter from Paris, presenting skilled analyses of the hourly trend of world politics, the Labour articles penned by a Labour M.P., voicing the news of the opposite camp, (the Courier has never made the mistake of underestimating its opponents case) the incisive leaders bearing on these problems, home and foreign the brilliant criticisms of war-governance and of military affairs by Sir George Aston, K.C.B. so often quoted abroad the special motoring article the sports column contributed to by an expert once a week; the literary page written in the modern tradition deriving from such well-known liters teurs as Lascelles Abercrombie and the late Dixon Scott; are all features which have con- tributed to the fame and success of oneof the best edited newspapers in the country with news service second to none. The Liverpool Courier has been read and quoted hy generations of Liverpolitians. The influence that was once local has become a national foice. To understand the secret of its triumph over its competitors is part of th- liberal education its pages provide.
