A weekly Welsh language newspaper, supportive of liberal politics and which circulated for the Welsh Calvinistic Methodists throughout Wales, including the Welsh of Liverpool, Manchester, London and Bristol. The newspaper's main content reflected the denominational interests and news relating to the Union, while also advocating temperance and radicalism. Established in 1869 as a private venture, it was then subsequently bought by the Union in 1911. Amongst its editors were John Davies (Gwyneddon, 1832-1904) and John Roberts (Ieuan Gwyllt, 1822-1877).
