Rummage Sale.—This annual event will take place on Monday, December 19th, at 7 p.m., at the National Schools, admission 2d. A special effort will be needed on the part of its supporters this year as a similar sale took place so recently for the Nurse's Fund : we have hitherto experienced a great falling off under these circumstances. All contributions may be sent to the Schools on the afternoon of the Sale. Goods of every description are acceptable. Proceeds up to £10 will be given to the Sunday Schools Funds which are much in need of help : any surplus will go to wiping off the debt on the Temperance Mission. Balance Sheets.—The accounts dealing with the Maenol Fetes of 1909 and 1910 and the Rummage Sales of the same years will be published next month. Mothers' Union.—There was a good attendance at the meeting on Nov. 18, and our old friend, Rev. C. P. Price, gave a most excellent address. A very satisfactory tea was supplied by Miss Lena Roberts, Unicorn Stores, and was thoroughly enjoyed, Our grateful thanks are due to Miss Parker and Mrs. Jones, Frankwell, for taking round the tickets. Some new members were enrolled : we hope very soon to see every Church mother a member of this admirable Union. Christmas Day.—There will be the usual Celebrations at 8, 9, 10 and 12. As the Festival this year falls on a Sunday every communicant should, and we hope will, attend. The Election.—The attack on the Church is being put in the forefront of their pro¬ gramme by leading Liberal politicians and can only be repelled by every Churchman standing up for his rights. Mr. Balfour's declaration that Tariff Reform will not be pushed through without the consent of the country being obtained by means of the Referendum should reassure many Church voters who are opposed to any change in that respect. Church Defence.—An admirably lucid and instructive lecture was given by Mr. A. L. Onslow i(who kindly undertook the task at very short notice owing to the Vicar being called away to a funeral) on " The Origin and Nature of Church Property." C.E.T.S.—The meetings have been well attended in November. The programme for December is—5th inst. Games, 12th Mis¬ cellaneous, week beginning 19th inst. (date not yet settled) Competitions and Lessons in Ambulance, 31st Social. Harvest Festival.—The success on the musical side was to a great extent due to the beautiful playing of Miss Lena Davies and the careful teaching of Mr. Tom Phillips.
