CHURCH UNITY. I
CHURCH UNITY. I Address by Rev. I Wynne Thomas. C.M. ORDINATIONS. ABERAVON, Wednesday. The Calvinistic Methodist Quarterly Association meeting at Port Talbot con- I tinued on Wednesday. In the morning the- ordination service was held, at which eight young men were ordained to the full work of the ministry. They were: Philip Jones, B.A., of the Pembroke monthly meeting; Daniel Evans, B.A., Thomas E. Jones, and David Davies, of the Carmar- then monthly meetings; E. E. Phillips and W. G. Jones, B.A., of East Glamor- gan; D. T. Davies, Hay; M. llopkin Wil- liams, B.A., of Monmouth. The Moderator, the Rev. R. J. Rees: M.A., Aberavon, presided. WORLD UNION. I After the opening devotion and the in- quiry into the regularity of the presenta- tions of the candidates, the Rev. Wynne Thomas, M.,A.; of Swansea, delivered an address upon Church Policy." Union, he said, was the order of the day, and the I characteristics of the present day unions Wa5 that they were becoming internatio- nal. The idea of Labour leaders was to iorin a world union of workers. It was a great idea, but not original. NEW TESTAMENT IDEA. I It was borrowed from the New Testa- Blent. They had stolen the form but not the contents. There could be no union S'ithout unity, and unity was impossible '•Yithottt funda.mental agreement about ih1") centre. Christ was the only centre in 1 vrfcom men may be permanently un'ted. f ;,One of the things needed was a larger view of the church. Tliey had held a too parochial, too sectional and national- istic conception of the church. MISSIONARY SPIRIT WANTED. I The missionary spirit belonged to the very essence of the church, and it was the missionary spirit which kept the church alive to-day. Concluding, Mr. Thomas said the church must be energised, and if she was to witness for Christ she must repent. After the address Mr. D. H. Williams, of Newport, ex-Moderator, and the now Moderator, asked the doctrinal and other questions. A charge to the new ministers was delivered by the Rev. Wm. .Mendus. of Cardiff. OF FAMOUS STOCK.

HISTORY'S LESSONS.I
HISTORY'S LESSONS.I Australia and League of Nations. Will Take No Chances. I Xo country (says Mr. W. M. Hughes in the Empire Review ") would more gladly welcome t.ho coining of the League of Nations than Australia, which stands at the very outpost of white civilisation, which is at the end of the world, and yet I at the gateway to its most populous regions. It would be to us more than a gift from the gods if we knew that war would be no more; that we could turn our every thought and energy to the peaceful development of our great heri- tage. But history has some dreadful les- eons to teach those who scan its pages. The world changes, but mankind remains the same. It, may be that war has gone from this world, but we cannot afford to take any risk.-g. VITAL QUESTION. If we are attacked on whom shall we call? The League of Nations F But will it come, and will it come in time? These things are vital to ue. Who is to say that this latest instrument will prove more effective than The Hague tribunal? Time aJone can sho-yr whe^hor this league can do all that its most ardent advocates claim. One thing, however, we do know. The League of Nations is incompatible with the British Empire as we know it, because the Brit'sh Empire re-ts upon a Navy unchallenged and unchallengeable. I do not say because of this we should condemn it. but these tlnings surely con- cern us greaivly. Wliit is the defence policv of this Empire? No one can ten us. What is it to be in the futuref No one knows. FUTURE OF BRITAIN. The future of Brita. n, the keystone m the Imperial arch, depends upon an abundant supply of raw materials, which happily Pie available almost wholly within. the Empire.. The future of this country, as distinct from the Empire, defends upon its capacity to produce more wealth per iinitof capital than ever before, or it must surely perish. And Vvhat is our Imperial trade policy— nobody ,'an tell us? On the one side is the glorious and glittering vision of the League of at;0113, on be other the lonr, gray shapes behind which civilisation sheltered and was saved. We are asked which shall we choose, and there is hesi- tation and doubt. But in the hearts of the people of this country there is no doubt. There can be none. Whatever we say we dare not let there be any doubt. If we do, whatever befalls us shall befall us justly. If I a-m asked whether we in Australia shall rely upon the League of Nations I say we shall, but we Wep our powder dry. We :'1";1 1 afford to I TAKE NO RISKS. I If I am asked what is our trade pokey, I I say we sh-all pursue that policy—and I think I m-ay say quite independently whether the Government of which I am the head shall pass away or not—that we have pusned fo long. We shall endeavour to build up the industries of Australia. We have learned our lessons in this war. Germany shall not take up her old posi- tion and batten upon our vitals any more. The industries of Australia are for Australians and not for Germans. I have no eternal quarrel with Germany, and it may be that in the future she will redeem her faults But I fee no evidence yet of a change of heary. On every side I see abundant proof that she is to-day what she was yesterday She will again endeavour to worm her way into our citadels, to capture our trade. And whether fohe succeeds or not depends upon the people of Britain. If you think you can combat her without a policy let me say that is impossible. Not one of your manufacturers will r-ck his capital in the extension oi an old plant or the con- struction of new until he knows where he stands.

SHIP ON FIRE. -I Serious Outbreak at Cardiff Docks. CARDIFF, Wednesday. A serious fire occurred on board th6 i wooden steamer "War Halifax" at 10 I o'clock to-day, and so threatening has become the conflagration that it will probably be necessary to scuttle the ship before the afternoon is out. Despite the efforts of the Cardiff Fire Brigade, the ship blazed furiously, and the mid-ship structure, engine-room and stock rooms were involved. The vessel was moved alongside the jetty. The "War Halifax belongs to the Ministry of Shipping, and was built at an estimated cost of £ 176.000.
IGENERAL YUDENITCH.
GENERAL YUDENITCH. Five Miles From Petrograd. I Fighting patrols sent out by the anti- Bolshevist Uussian Gen. Yudenitch have approached within five miles of Petfho- grad. His staff is at Krasnoye Selo, 16 miles from the city. H is now awaiting rein- forcements. A special correspondent points out that Yudenitcli's position, brilliant though his advance has been, is not free from danger. Trotsky's plan is ap- parently to deliver a smashing flank at- tack from Gdoff, south of Yudenitch's iines of communication. Yudenitch is said to have only 12,000 men in the firing line. Trotsky was reported on Sunday to have 20,000 round Gdoff. Yudenitch is fighting on behalf of the North-West Russian Government, which intends to establish itself at Pet- rograd. It is recognised by the anti- Bolshevist leaders, Admiral Koltchak and Gen. Denikin.
PARC WERN. I
PARC WERN. I Swansea Hospital Taken Over I It. ij good news that repairs and refit- Ung preparations are well in hand at Pare Wern (lately used as a Red Cross Hospital) for its tv king over by the Board of Management of the General Hospital. This is in accord with a df- sire of Miss Dulcie Vivian that the house should continue to serve some such useful purpose, and the trustees of the estate are permitting this work pending the signing- of the agTfement for occupa- tion. which, it is understood, will be on verv favourable terms. FOR J UVEN I LES. ) At first Pare Wern will be used as a separate unit for juveniles (up to 16 years). About 40 cases will be accommo- dated, and this will afford very welcome relief in the General Hospital, and a re- duction at an early date in the large waiting list which has become so great an obsession and problem to the commit- tee because the present site permits of few extensions. Ultimately it is hoped that Pare Wern grounds will be the site of a big hospital that will meet all the borough's needs for many yoars to come, and negotiations to that end are still in hand

He says: "I Sold potatoes at 6lbs icr Is." I happen to know that thosa potatoes were Irish Potatoes, and bought at lis. per cwt., and It does not require an expert at arith- metic to show that at 2d. per lb. they "Worked out at 18s. Sd. per cwt., which showl; a profit of over 70 v'r cent. I also know that local retailers (.accused of profiteering) paid 12s. per cwt. for local grown potatoes, and sold them at 71bs. for and in some instances 8lbs. for Is., "friiich is lis. per cwt. In fairness I ask, who are the pro- fiteers? Tl,i,iiikinv-voti in anticipation. I remain, ■, tfours faithfully. A Retailer.
ARMY SALES.I
ARMY SALES. To the Editor. Sir.—May I be permitted a little space t? the "Lader" to point, out how un- fairly fhe Government i6 dealing with fee small trader in the present sales of Cov?rnmFnt stocks. The D?posal Board of the Ministry of Munitions are about to release for c-ale five and a half million yard* of cloth for wearing apparel. And Hot. fewer than five pieces can be tendered for. In the first place, one piece of cloth is usually about 60 yards, and the cloth (which includes serges) would practically amount tki tl per yard, making a total of £60 per piece. Then for the strugglng trader to have to tender for a minimum of five pieces requires a heavy outlay of capital. So that personally I am com- lelled to sit tight (like many others similarly situated) and all"w some huge concern to purchase in hulk. And then, allowing for their own profits, sell me the quantities I can afford to purchase. Why cannot the Government adopt, the system :111 i-oguo,with the American sales of sur- tdivs Army stocks of allowing one to tender for any quantity one requires. This would be fair to all. and the price () c-lothe, would n:it-iirally drop by doing awav with unnecessary middlemen's pro- fits.—Yours, etc.. -Small J ratter* J

ARMY PAY. Neath Debtor's Savings. I At Neath Bankruptcy Court to-day (Tuesday), before Mr. Registrar Reginald P. Charles. Howard Llewellyn fjewis, boot repairer, who carried on business at 95, Windsor-road, Neath, appeared for his first public examination The statement of affairs showed liabilities as £W. 15st 10d., and deficiency 938 9s. 7d. Debtor attributed his failure to ill-health, no capital, high rents and rates, and the high oot of living. He commenced busi- r-ess without any capital. He joined the Army in 1916, and was discharged in August, 1917. He had suffered from chronic rheumatism and valvular disease of the heart. His net profits in the past year were only £121. but his household expenses for the same period were £182. He was aware of his insolvency six months before he filod his petition. Official Receiver: You said at your pre- liminary examination that you had wo I Post OrTico savings account. Debtor: Yes. Official Receiver (ho1 ding up a Post Office deposit book): Is this book YOUri? Debtor: Yes, air. Official Receiver: I see there is £7 stand- ing to your credit in it. Is that money yours —Yes. Official Receiver: Then, why did ron say yon had no saying. Debtor: It is not my savings; it is Arm.* money. Official Receiver: Who does it belong to? Debtor: It belongs to me. Official Receiver: Then it belongs to your creditors. Debtor (excitedly): No, it's got nothing to do with the business. Mr. A. Evans (who appeared for tV debtor): He does not appreciate the legal position. I T ftaight for-ft, an I am going to claim it. Registrar: What about the people who advanced you the goods Debtor: I have done my best for them, I think. Registrar: It is your money. How you can persuade yourself that it is unfair I cannot make out. Debtor: It was placed in the Post Oflice from the Army. Official Receiver: The money belongs to your creditors. On the advice of his solicitor, d$bi<yr did not carry. the matter further, and the examination was closed, subject to the signing of the notes.
