It was a cylinder, six inches high, and contained half a pound of gun- powder. One end of a piece of copper wire was attached to a wick, the other end being embedded in the explosive. The wick, which was saturated with paraffin, had been alight, but the wind had apparently biown out the flame. Outside the cylinder was written in b.ack paint "Votes for Women I Death in ten minutes!" Distinguished Surgeon's Death.

I STIMULATING AIR. I LOCAL LICENSED VICTUALLER CUARStO WliH BRiMittiiESS. Michael Green (48), licensed vic- tualler, Swansea, and Thomas Olive (58), shipwright, were at the Swansea ¡ Police Court to-day charged with being drunk and disorderly on Sunday, Marcn 30th. Mr. Marlay Samson appeared for the defendants. P. C. Tarr stated that he saw the de- fendants coming into Sketty shortly after 8 o'clock on Sunday evening, from I the direction of Killay. They were arm-in-arm, very drunk, and stagger- ing about the road. When advised to J go home th used bad language, and! went in the direction of Swansea. Some- time afterwards witness saw them on Sketty Hill. They were staggering shouting and using threatening lan- guage towards t,he police. They were, eventually taken to Sketty Potico Sta- tion. P.C. Dunn, of Killay, gave corrobora- tive evidence. In cross examination witness said de- fendants became nolyro disor^rly as they left Killay and went in the direc- tion of Sketty. When they were first spoken to they were not so bad. Mr. Marlay Samson at You mean that I between Killay and Sketty the air is I so stimulating that the further they went the mora intoxicated they be- came? (Laughter.) Witness: ies. Mr. Marlay Samson: N-cry well then. We must be careful not to go that way. (Laughter.) Cros-examined by Mr. Marlay Sam- I son witness said the defendants did not ask to see a doctor when they were locked up. P.S. Thomas stated that the defend- ant-s were brought by P.C. Tarr into the Police Station at 8.30 p.m. on Sunday. With great difficulty they were put into the cells. At 10 o'clock at night Green knocked at the door and asked for water and said he wanted to see a— doctor. Witness said yes, "you shall see a doctor if you are prepared to pay fOT one." Green replied "I cvm not going to w,ell.pay for one; it's your —— place to find one." At a quarter to 12 they were bailed out. P.S. Clarke, who was also in the Police Station when the defendants were brought in. eaid they were very ,drunk and were cursing and swearing.

A Serious Matter. Mr. Marlay fciamson spoke, of the seriousness of the charge against Green, who was the licensee of the Cardiff Anns, Swansea, wid-jaoped the Bench would c;« eiuiiy weigh the evidence as a conviction against him would be a serious matter. Both the defendants had good characters. He suggested the true explanation of the aitair waos that the men were very angry and in- dignant at being interiered wibh by the police, and they were not int-oxicated. He thought it was very unfortunate that the defendants were not seen by a doctor w hen they were afc the Police ;)""ati-cm. Defendant Michael Green then gave evidence on his own behalf. He denied that they were drunk aDd disorderly in I the road. He stumbled when he was near the Black Boy because lie trod on a stone. He was surprised when the -onstable put his hand on his shoulder near th..3 Sketty Police Station and asked him to go inside. He said to the police, 'If you think we are drunk I claim a doctor," and he was told he could not get one there and it was 1,00 late. He told them there were two in Sketty. In cross-examination by Superinten- dent Letheren, defendant said he had two glissa*- of beer in the "Black Boy" and when he got outride he drank rum and port from a bottle which he had in his pocket. They then went to the Railway Arms. Defendant, Thomas Oliver, also gave evidence on his own behalf. He said he was never drunk in his life. Through an accident that he had on one of his voyages to New York, he was a little lame, and that was why Green too k his arm on Sunday night Howell IJavies, 6, Margaret-terrace, St. Thomas, who saw the defendants in the "Black Boy Inn" and the Railway inn, said they were absolutely sober. Mrs. Williams, licensee of the Rail- way Inn, Killay, who refused to give evidence until she had been paid her ex- penses. said Green had three drops of rum with an egg, and Oliver had three glasses of beer. They were all right when they left the house Cross-examined: She thought Green had had enough when he left the house. Chairman said the case had been clearly proved. Defendants would each be fined 40s. including costs or one month.

 i PASTORS & PEOPLE. ? ?%? S &in? Q? ?L' & i ?&?L. I I SUNDAY SCHOOLS THE HOPE OF THE I WORLD. BOY REVOLUTION. I (Edited by "LAOS.") Mr. Herbert L. Morgan writes:— For several Sundays consecutively we entertained the preacher. One Sunday my little boy, then about seven years old, went to his mother and said: Memrna, is there a preacher coming here to-day r" Yes," said his mother. Then I am off out ot this," said he. He got his little -overcoat and cap, and oil he went. But he came back. The preacher that day was the Rev. James uwen, and 1 rather dreaded the result. At the dinner table the boy wa,s very quiet, and almost sulky. But, to my surprise, when 1 ieturned from Sunday School, I found the little chap was on Mr. Owen's knee. They were the best of chums. The boy was telling him a long story! I A Great Event. 1 That big meeting in Mount Pleasant Church liist Monday was an inspiration. There was body in it. And soul. The Sunday School Union is all right. Any Body that wasn't wouldn't have chosen a.s its leader ouch a man as Sir G. Croydon Marks. Sturdy, strong, enthusiastic, with a keen eye for actuality. Leissons," iuid he in his last new year's message, will be a weariness to the teacher and irksome to the cla&s, unk'i> they are vitalised by a heart and I soul giowmg with Divine love. I Be natural, be yourself, but be your best self in your class. Copy no one." I Marks and Clerk. I The head man of Messrs. Marks and Clerks, consulting engineers, London, was fortunate in his parents aJfti his home. ii JS bright and sunny nature found a. genial environment; his boyish irankness suffered no disillusionment. And at an early age h vveas influenc- ing large assemblies of children, com- manding their attention by his admir- able address and winning manner. Meanwhile he was apprenticed m an engineer in the Poyad Arsenal at Wool- wich. I Knows Canada Well. borne time lecturer ou engineering and applied mathematics to the MjO- iand Institute and the Birmingham Technical School, He commenced practice as a consult- ing engineer in 1889. Ho is author of a whole string of engineering and other technical works. A busy man, who has ample time, therefore, for altruistic works. A yearly visitor to America and Canada, he is known in Cluca-go, Phila- delphia, New \ork, Washington, and Montreal. To him foice is no remedy, and com- pulsion a folly. At Mount Pleasant, Sir Croydon Marks recalled that at a recent meeting the Bishop of Exeter was deploring that they lost the children just at the age when compulsory attendance at day schools ceased. Had I been there," said be, "1 would have asked, Does not that prove conclusively that all religious service must be non-compulsory if it is to suc- ceed?' "• I Vivid Stories. I "What are Sunday-schools for?" he asked, and replied:— "To make it easy for you (pointing to a contingent of the Life Brigade) and for you (looking at another lot of bovs) to do right, and hard to do wrong, for the rest of your lives." Sir Croydon Marks' stories-his speech strewn with them—were vivid, arresting. They were all about himself! "Day schools are raising their stan- dards and developing new ideals, and only too often we don't keep up in Sunday-schools," said he. The Old Cuard. I He alluded eloquently to the gallant band of seasoned teachers—the "old guard," as he called them—who had that evening stepped on the platform with half a century of God's service be- hind them, and said:— "In these days, when there, are so many shots through our beliefs, and we wonder sometimes what we do yet i bold, it is an inspiration to get into I touch 1 with the men who have stood firm, Sunday by Sunday, teaching God's truth." (Loud applause.) "I would rather be connected with thei rrecord than with that of many statesmen-veterans who walk as they walk and stand as they have stood." I "Some men never grow old. Some men are born old,, "You can see it in their faces, and if you don't, you will see it in about ten minutes in the faces of the children." (Laughter.) "But I don't want you to try the experiment." Dust of Empires. I Most of us believe that the charac- ter of a nation cannot be formed by mere secular education. Ancient Greece gave to us the em- bodiment of ideals they themsplves couldn't live up to. "There are nations that have gone and exist only in the dust. If you want to find some of the finest examples in connection with secu- lar education, you'll find them in the British Museum. Taken up out of the dust. "The great Assyrian Empire, where is it r1 Simply gone, save for monu- ments in the British Museum. "Mighty Babylon—where is it gone? Crumbled in heaps of ruin. I Save for mere relics in museum, it has gone. Is Europe Doomed, Too? I "The Roman Empire—that mighty power—crushing hearts in its lust for conquest—gone! Which is the next to be? "I sometimes almost fear to faco the agitation oi the hour. In these days, when we are build- ing warships and increasing arma- ments, each country hacing each other for physical power. We too often forget the Lord's comment, that it is "Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit," that the j nation is going to live." I "Ysgol Charlesl" l By the way, they had their "Cwrdd j I Cwarter" at Dinas last Sunday. í They missed old Charles Morgan, who! is now very ill. He has been the soill of these meet- ings. Whenever the programme lagged, "Charles" would oome to the rescue. "Ysgol Charles" (Charles' School) is what the children call Dinas. For forty years he has done what he liked with the children there. Yet, though "Charles" was away, the children were happy in their chair- man.

LORD MAYOR ON DRINK. SHOULD A CHURCH MEMBER TAKE ALGuHOL. The recen.t statement of the Lord Mayor or Cardiif (Alderman Morgan i,uomasj in a. -Swansea speech tnut "he could not understand a iian being a member of any church of Christ who declined to be a total ab- stainer, has, aroused a great deal ot discussion and interest in the district, und the "Leitder" has been collecting itie opinions of local gentlemen on the point. The opinion of the Mayor of Swansea (Councillor David vviiiiams) was made cjear by him a¡ the time when the state- ment was made. His Worship is not a I total abstainer, but is a member of the I Uhurcn 01 -kugiand, allil lie doe*: not agree that the use oi aloonohc drink ,U moderation militates against a man neicg a true Christian. Dr. Rawlings, J.P., on the other hand "x cannot understand any Cnristian touching strong dnnii, just I cannon understand a good many things, but I am not going to condemn a man or say he is no Cnr^stiau oecause ne takes drink. 1 think it is a que, on for every iaaii to Oxxxxle. .Mr. J. Runde, (GuardLan): ii all the members of the church believed in xhe finished work ol J e-s us Cnrist, there would be no dnficulty about the Temper- ance Question. I can take a, glass of i beer, or leave it alone; but there are others who cant, so for the sake of ex- j ample, shall I not forego tnat little luxury? The Rev. A. E. Turtie: Of course it is possible to be a member of a Christian Church without being a total abstainer. The Apostle Paul ditln t teach total abstinence w hen he ad vised Timothy to take a little wine for his stomach's sake, and his infirmities. It is a matter j lor the individual conscience. The Rev. Wynne Thomas, Pastor of Argyie says: "Ihe Lord Aiayor raises a most interesting and important ques- tion. Most people will agree that drink is one of the greatest hindrances to the work of Christ in the world, therefore, can a Christian man be a drinker ? The Lord Aiayor sets a very fine example in a high office." Mr. Griffith Jones CBarrlster-àt-law, who is not an abstainer is of the opinion that it is no wrong for a Christian to make use of aioohol in moderation according to circumstances and his needs, xle however denounces the im- mediate use of drink, or ite use as a I mere beverage. A weli-^nown local publican who is a I devout member of a chapel and himself a total abstainer toki the Leader" that he xhought it should be left to eaich one to decide for himself. "I." he said, "althougn holding a license am an abstainer. The drink does not agree with me, go I don't touch it." Mr. George Luff: We musn't judge i we are told not w. Commandant Maggs, U.S.& The Lord Mayor of Carcutr didn't know W liat. he was talking about. Rev. the Hon. W. Talbot Rice (Vicar of Swansea): We have to divide life int.a Right and Wrong and Debatable things. The question of total abstin- ence is one of the debatable) things, and we are bound to give each other the right to take one view or the other aa members of the Christian church. Rev. J. H. Watkins-Jones (Vicar 01 Christ Church, Swansea): Though a total abstainer myself, 1 do not believe that our Lord or the Early Church made total abstinence a condition of Church membership.
