The only way to get. that which your Boul most desires is to give it freely to those near you. bravery consists, not in the absence of fear, but in overcoming it. To say thrtu a man does not know what fear is is to say that he is not brave. Knowledge is no more power than food is strength. They are only means to ends. A man may know much mere than he can use, just as he may possess much more 'than he can enjoy. No particular kind of knowledge is necessary for a man's education. What is necessary is a process of training and discipline. The great pul-e of the world beajts slowly and is not quickened by the myriads of tragedies played out daily on its placid breast. The aggressive love of one to whom we are indifferent is harder to bear than hate.. The satisfaction of clamorous physictu needs and appetites often reveals soul needs and hungers which no physical contacts can satisfy. You cannot tell by the surface of a lake or of a human being how deep either of 'them is. The amazement and distress of the ordinary human being when first caught in thetOlils of some primal passion OT emotion are pitiful. Most things are lying at our fecit un- regarded which we are eager to ransack the world to find. It is the privilege .of the rich to be able to purchase.. costly things which nine- tenths of the people are happy without possessing, and to leave to their successors wealth which they themselves could not use. It> seems as if each generation had to learn by its own experience that the horrors of war are the horrors of murder, and will come homo in the end to each individual. THE OLD YEAR. I am. ndt, I suppose, the only one Who, helpless, stands to watch the old year die And cannot even saJe things I feel. Or tell the tale of all the year has meant In loss and gain, in sorrow and of joy. In deepening sense of what existence means Hemmed in by mysltery on every side No force, or skill, the mystery can solve. The old year dies and merges in the past "Where shrouded lie the records of our adts— Some weak and mean, some strong and nobly grand— All building up the thing called history. I softly bid 'the dying year good-bye, With all its sorrows and with all its joys. With all its fleeting hopes and baseless fears And all its bitterness and needless hate. How much there is in solemn (times like this Which feeble words of ours can never say— For language only deals in common things— And so in silence must the old year die Each trusting that the other understands What never yet has been reduced to speech, But all have known a.nd felt from ancient (times And all will know and feel till time shall cease. ROOM FOR IMAGINATION. If I were classifying human beings I would divide them into the people who! have imagination and Ithe people who have no imagination, and if I were asked how best to educate the people I would say. Kindle their imagination." The other day I went to walk by the sea. The Parade was crowded, but nobody seemed to be Struck by the strange aspect of the scene. It was afternoon. The clouds hung low and were of pearly grey: I have seen silk or the colour. The light shone faintly' through the clouds upon the sea, which was tawny as far as the eye could reach, but the eye could ndtreach far, and it was difficult to say where the sea ended and the pearly grey of the clouds began. The light—it was a strange light-gave the impression of vadt distance and of UD- peopled desolateness. I felt that it was peopled in ways I could ndt see or under- stand. All the while the waves sobbed against the shore, which remained un- responsive. The mist hid Ithe tops of the hills and lay in the valleys with the pearly light upon it. Everything was still and. it seemed as if great events were imminent, and as if elemental forces were about to be liberated. What we call eternity appeared Ito be close at hand. The grey light, the rolling mist, the half-hidden hills, the ever-sounding sea, the obtrusive stillness all left room for the imagination. The scene was suggest- ive of great, possibilities, of things grand and awful, of that which wouldt more than satisfy the soul craving for fullness. 1 was thinking how marvellous i.It all was when somebody at my elbow said: "Very unpleasant afternoon, is it not?" and I said something in reply that I hope was intelligible. What I want to say is that there is sometimes wonderful beauty in what is called a dull day. LOOKING BACKWARDS. I wonder doslt thou ever think of me, And how I strike thee in these later days, When love and hate have almost ceased Ito be And we are little moved by blame or praise. All that to us can ever be has been Or almost all. Wo know life's oflb-told tale. We have partaken of its joy and teen And now our sun sets and our sky grows pale. The with all it held has long been dead, And time has buried it and left no trace But memory of what was done or said— The smile, the glance, the kiss, the swift embrace. f sit here high above the swirling sea, And watch the crested waves break on the reefs, I wonder if the past means aught to thee, Or if all died when died youth's joys and griefs. My mind flies backward more than forty years, To nights in May when hawthorn scent was strong, How oft since then has hawthorn scent meant tears And sense of loss! I wonder who w-as wrong. It may be, after all, there was no blame: We sijmply miSsec? our way and made mistake. Each thought the other's was the lesser claim j And neither would seek peace for love's own sake. Ah, how the seabirds scream and swoop and soar, And how the curling waves enfold the light; It may be dither worlds may hold in store Joys that will more than set earth s wrongs arightb. IN THE SIFTING TIME. In the sifting time if your past does not speak for you, while you remain silent, 'then you are in bad case, and you have lived so wrongly that no present cry of yours can avail you in the least. degree. All your present was made in the past, and you must stand or fall by it. That is what you should remember, that you are making the future now. because the low will soon be the pasfc, and the past—your past—settles the future. Yes, 'this is a paradox. All life is a paradox, because you do not see either the beginning or the end of life. The Coast.

Weak Churches.—A conference of Baptists of North Cardiganshire was held at Bethel Chapel en Monday afternoon to consider the ministerial scheme and 'the sustentation fund established by the Baptist r nion of Wales, by means of which it is proposed to raise in two years.

Morgan, Pontrhydygroes, president of the Cardi- ganshire and Carmarthenshire Assocua- tion, presided over the conference and add resses were given by the Rev W. A. Wij^'aUns., Pontypridd, secretary of the movement for Wales. and Principal Roberts, president of the Executive Com- mittee for the district and an ex-presi- dent of the Union.

Lecture.—Mr E. Chambers delivered his annual lecture to the members of Bath- street Literary Society on Tuesday even- ing. Mr A. H. Thomas presided over a larue attendance. Mr Chambers 'took as his subject "Nature's Summer Fashions, and in a lecture, which was listened to with close attention for over an hour dealt with tropical flowers, trees and plants. Lnnltern slides illustrating Rowers and trees and other scenes in Jamaica were shown, the lanternist being Mr D. J. Lewis. The lecturer impressed on his hearers the falseness of the gen- eral impression that in the tropics theie were to be found huge banks of beatrx- fullv-coloured flowers. Nature at her best was to be found in the temperate xone. One traveller who had spent many years in the tropics said he had seen nothing to compensate him for the loss of the sight of the golden gorse in an English spring. Speaking of a member of the cactus family which possesses the peculiarity of flowering at night, Mi Chambers' said one of those plants bloomed at Nanteos two years ago. He facetiously added that he wished his garden hedge was composed of such cactus, through which even the dogs of Aberystwyth could not break through. The Lecturer was warmlv thanked by the Rev Richard Hughes, pastor, and the Chief Constable. A vote of thanks was accorded the Chair- man on the motion of Mr David Ellis, seconded bv Mr W. James.

Free Church Meeting. A meeting was held on Tuesday evening at the Welsh Baptist Chapel under the auspices of the Free Church Council when the President (Professor W7. Morgan Lewis) delivered an address on the "Relatinoship of the Non- conformist bodies to each other." Pro- fessor Lewis dealt in a fresh and original manner with the advantages and disad- vantages likely to accrue from the pro- posed fusion of Nonconformist bodies, the inference being that his own views were on the whole against fusion. He also discussed the future prospects of Noncon- formist churches from the spread of edu- cation and 'the new conditions likely to confront the churches at the termination of the war. One of his aphorisms was that the greatest menace to Nonconformity was the advance made in education, though it was due in a great, measure to the zeal and devotion of Nonconformists that the advantages of education were established and extended to the masses of the people. The Rev R. J. Rees, M.A., also addressed the meeting on The Attitude of Ithe Churches to the Drink Problem." He ex- plained the policy hitherto pursued locally and nationally and to the recent successful effort made under" the leadership of Mr William George, Crieisieth, to induce tho Compensation Authority of Cardiganshire to levy the maximum duty in order to carry irtro effect the extinction of licences already referred. Mr Rees gratefully re- ferred to the steady support received for many years by the Chief Constable (Mr Edward Williams) in closing unnecessary licensed houses. The speaker also out- lined the pressing question of the future- the proposed nationalization of the drink traffic—and exhorted temperance people to consider each question apart- from pre- concemcd opinions and prejudices. On the propcfsfticta of the (Rev Maurice Griffith, M.A., seconded by Mr John Evans, deputy town clerk, a vote of thanks was accorded the speakers. The lateness of the hour precluded a dis- cussion on the various controversial points raised, but it was understood that a further meeting will be called shortly to give facilities to canvass the views set forth by the two openers.

Sunday Trading.—D. Taieb, Terrace- road, was again summoned for Sunday trading. The following members of a pantomime company were also summoned ior aiding and a bet-ting-Cyril Lane, f lorrie hi ttard, 'Edna. Alexander. Florrie Butler, Alee Salter, and Bella B-cdcloes. P.C. A. H. Jones gave evidence tha.t he saw five girls enter the shop. Through the window curtain he saw Mrs laieb serve them with a packet of sweets each. They placed the packets in their attire. As soon as they came outside, after closing tho door, he saw one of them had a packet in her hands. Mrs Taieb told him that what she had sold had been consumed inside the shop. One of the defendants actually eating the sweets at the time. Mrs Taieb then asked them Ito hand the sweets back and they did so. He told her that by taking the sweets back from the purchasers she did not in the least minimise the offence. Ho did not see Mrs Taieb return the money 'to them.—P.S. Thomas Davies also gave evidence of the sale of a packet of cigarettes to one of the defendants.—■ Defendant contended that he could seli on Sunday if the goods sold were con- sumed on the premises. Defendants began to eat The sweets before going outside and they were stopped by the constable before they got as far as the pavement. He called the uvc girl defendants to evidence on his behalf.—The Bench con- sidered the case against Taieb proved and fined him 5s. but feeling that the other defendants acted in fgnoranee the cases against them were dismissed. Adulterated Butter.—Richard Morris farmer, Pengelly, Llangwyryfon, was charged with having sold butter winch was not of the nature, substance, and quality demanded.—Supt. Phillips. who prosecuted, said the charge against de- iendant was cf selling adulterated butter containing foreign matters. If 'the charge would be proved be trusted that the Bench would impose a line which would deter offences of that kind. Hard-working people in the town had to pay Is. 6d. per pound for butter and had a righ'r to ex- pect to be supplied with butter instead of stuff which could be bought in tho tow n for one-third that price. The ex- perience of the police was Uiat it was not the poorest class of farmers who resorted to that moan and fraudulent action.— KS. Thomas Davies gave evidence that on Monday morning, December 6th, he saw defendant's wfe with a basket on her arm. He asked her if she had any butiter to sell. She replied Y <s; but I caririot ioaro any," He asked her again to sell him I pound of butter and eventually she consented. She came with him to the Police Station and he bought a lib of fresh butter for Is. 6d. He explained to her that it was for the purpose of analysis.— Supt. Phillips produced the Analyst's certificate 'that the sample contained ten per cent, of margarine.—Defendant's wife gave evidence that she had not added margarine to the butter and if it was not up to the standard lit. was due to the condition of the milk.—Defendant- also protested that the butter was honestly sold and, as far as he knew, there was eot.Mng wrong it unless the quality oi the milk had been affected.—In reply to Supt. Phillips, defendant's wife denied that she was reluctant to soli the butter to P.S. Davies. Tile ex-Mayor said the case had been clearly proved; bill; it being the first offence the Bench had decided to take a lenient view. The maximum pen- alty was £20 and defendant would be fined £10 with the Analyst's fee. Tho Bench had made up their minds to stamp out the practice of selling adulterated flutter and to protect the public against frauds. Margarine could be bought for sixpence per pound and to sell it as butter at Is. 6d. w as defrauding the public. Next time a similar case was proved the Bench would impose the fult penalty. The Bench complimented the police on tho vigilance with which the offence was de- tected and hoped that the penalty im-1 posed would act as a deterrent.—Supt. Phillips thanked the Bench for the com- plimentary remarks and said the police did all they could. They would have done more if buyers assisted them. Licensing.—It was agreed to hold the annual licensing meeting on February 2nd. Drunkenness.—On Tuesday moTnJng, Catherine Jones, domestic servant, who as .-barged on the evidence of P.C. A. H. Jont^ with having been drtmk the previous night, was bound over for six months.

WAR AND PRINTINC.

The Federation of Masters Printers has issued' an intinj|ati(on pointing" out the constantly increasing cost of production, the difficulties attendant on giving estimates owing to the uncertainty in prices of materials and other draw backs, and they request that as far as possible consumers of print should refrain from asking for estimates, and should allow .longer time for the execution of orders.

ARMENIAN ATROCITIES.I
of the war. but were 'the result of a do- j liberately-prepared plan by those re- sponsible for the present Turkish Govern- ment to exterminate a whole nation. The reason for the atrocities was that the Armenians by ftlieir education, intelli- gence, industry, and perseverance had amassed fortunes and were fairly pros- perous. which the Turkish population re- sented. Apart from that economic jealousy ftliere was an unreasonable fear that the Armenians desired to throw off I. the Turkish yoke. For the past 200 years there had been a series of spoliation of land, over-taxation, denials of justice, confiscation of church and other property. No attempt was made by ithe Turkish Government to satisfy the Armenians who had tried by peaceful means 'to have their grievances redressed. They were for- bidden the use of arms and all excuses by the Turkish Government that the Armenians were a hostile factor fell to the ground. Having given gruesome details of recent atrocities, Mr Funduklian related how the efforts of Americans to interfere had been frustrated. The number of victims had been enumerated at 800,COO. There had been no provocation by deed, or word. Germany, as 'the mentor of Turkey, could not escape responsibility for the atrocities. It was impossible to help the Armenians in Turkey and practi- cal sympathy could only be shown to the destitute Arn^nians who had taken re- fuge elsewhere^' An interesting programme was gone through, in which part was taken by Miss A rasee plicyian, violinist, and Miss Astra Funduktian, pianist. Miss Agnes Drey, Manchester, gave impressive recitattions, including her translation of Alphonse Daudet's pathetic classic, "The last French Class." Mr Owen Bryngwyn, the popular baritone, was encored for his thrilling siiigins4 of the Welsh air Hunt- ing the Hare" and "The Pipers of Pan." Miss Bertha Jones made an excellent im- pression and the War Service Choir sang with good effect with Madame Andre Barbier at the piano.
