HOW ALAW MADE
HIMSELF GREAT
Concluded from Page 8.

COuIho, LueEo U6luB TWO OF lDree oOu-
duetors present to lead and direct in
singing, and three organs Zone of them
u pipe organ), and piano, all in tune
with each other, on which the hymns
were PLAYED, with the congregation
singing with all its might and main
besides. 1t is not to be wondered at
that the Welsh sing 80 well, as the care
taken by the director in explaining to
the people the correct way in which to
sing the hymns was really beautiful to
see. l dare say 1t would not hurt some
of our American congregations to have
some one show them how to sing q
hymn intelligently once in while
The expression and enunciation these
people put into even their hymns is ex-
quisite-nothing short Of 1t, 1 must
say, One can learn so much from
them.
ONE CROWDED HOUSE
Sept. 25.-Tonight we give concert
at YnysYbwl, and as we have been ad-
vised ahead that there has been nearly
2 900 tickets sold. l suppose we shall
have to wear our very swelest concert
gowns there, Dressing every night for
q concert is an awful nuisance. 1t be :
comes so uninteresting when You have
to do it as matter of business.
Later-We are home again after the
concert at Ynysybwl. having had a
very fine time indeed. The hall was
uncomfortably full, but full of an in
tensely interested and intelligent audi
ence, and we do not object to that
style of house at all. All the numbers
were very cordially received, especially
SO those rendered in Welsh. They liked
the Welsh duet which Mr.. Anwyl and
l sang so much that we had to sing
part OF it over again for them, and
then later on in the programme they
made request for more Welsh and
Mr. Anwyl sang them two extra num-
hers. both in Welsh. There are some
Welsh airs which Miss Allen, our vio-
linist plays with exquisite pathos and
feeling, and these always capture the
house too
Tonight after the concert was over
we sat down to dainty little supper
which the ladies of the town had
kindly provided for us before we took
our drive home again, as we call Pont-
y-Pridd. We took leave OF our cordial
friends then and trundled back to our
town in excellent spirits. Tomorrow
we leave early in the afternoon for a
town called Pont-y-Cymmer, where we
remain for two days, giving concert
there each night and returning to
Pont-y- Pridd on Thursday do not
remember where We hold forth on
Thursday evening. but it is somewhere
of course How strange and hurried q
life 1t is IT, lave to temporarily pitch

Hereisa specimen programme from out
our repertoire. OF course we have
several different ones which we give
at different times according to Mr..
Evans selection. the enclosed one be-
ing the one we rendered last week in
most places. while we are going
through different one this week.
So you see WE give ourselves and our
audiences plenty of variety.
