TION.-Suspending our stu
dies in apostolic history we shall have
three successive lessons in the Epistles.
The first letter to the Thessalonians was
the beginning of Pauls writings. While
employed at Corinth, A. D., 81, he re-
ceived intelligence, probably through
Timothy, (Acts xvii, So that the disciples
In Thessalonia were prosecuted, ana that
some of them had been put to death.
Under the prompting and guidance or the
Holy Spirit he wrote to comfort the
church by awakening hope concerning the
departed, seeking at the same time to
confirm all in holy living. AS a strong
incentive thereto he referred to the sec
ond coming of Christ (Chap. ilO, sub
ject which had large place in the preach
ing of those days as well as in the
thought of our Lord Uohn, Xiv:9. What
ever Paul may have intended to teach on
that matter, he was greatly misunder-
stood by the Thessalonians, and a second
letter was required to set them right.
FRATERNITY.--Our lesson opens in
the middle of the chapter with the sub
ject of brotherly love oversees and 10).
This is not introduced as new theme.
Evidently Paul gave advice on this sub
ject to the converts at Thessalonia when
he was with them, and he declares they
spirit of God taught them to love one
another (Eph. v:2). He also recognizes
the fact that they did exercise this ad-
mirable grace toward all the brethren in
that region and concluded by urging them
to increase more and more. This com
mendation and exhortation of the apostle
may have served several purposes. Inas-
much as fraternity is the human side of
Christianity, the proof of love to God Il
I1k. .O1A fI,n atvfdA Of q ta
nature q John, iii:1D, this was a sure
method of promoting spirituality. In the
hour of trial through which they were
passing they needed to hold together, to
care for each other to comfort and
strengthen each other q John, iii:1s).
INDUSTRY.-There are two possible
offenses against fraternity-it may be
abused or limited. One may assume an
unwarranted intimacy, meddling with
things that do not belong to him, expect
ing pecuniary assistance to supplement
idleness or prodigality. Or, he may con-
clude that those outside the church are
not entitled to the same consideration as
those inside, a mistake into which the
Jews fell John, iY:9), Paul applies as a
corrective to both these errors, the home
ly and often overlooked virtue of indus
try Verses II and l2), Summed up in few
words, his advice is, "Mind your own
business" The quiet, faithful pursuit of
some chosen and useful vocation Is an
important means of grace (Acts Xxx 1857. 1t
enables a man to obtain an honest and
decent living for himself and family q
Tim, v:S and to stand in right relations
with the world. The wise man prov,
vi0 and the apostle e Thess., iii:lO are
in perfect accord on this point. The
sluggard is not high type of Chris
tian.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES HEALTH.
The present health of Glenmorgan-
shire is exciting unusual comment in
Wales. Since DIR. Williams began his
duties as medical officer the death rate
has wonderfully decreased Dr. Will
liams quotes figures which indicate
the low death rate of 100 per 1000 of
the population, estimated at mid-year,
1886 to be 575, 500. The death rate is
less by 2.6 per 1000 than in 1895, and
lower by .01 than the corresponding
death rate for England and Wales.
The highest rates recorded are 20.6 for
Aberdare and 20 for Merthyr; while
the lowest are SO for Oystermouth,
1O.S for Penarth, 11.5 for Cover, and
1913 for Ponthrdawe (east division).
Once more does the medical officer de-
plore the high infantle mortality but
1t is consoling to know that while
of every 1000 children born in 1895 in
the county, POI died before completing
the first year of life. the infant NOR
talty rate for 1895 was 1907. An in
teresting paragraph on this head may

Sunday School LESSON for August 5.
Working and Waiting for Christ.
lThess w. oV2.
BY j. E. GILBERT D. D., Ill. D.,
Secretary of American Society of Religious Education

EXHORTATION.-Th purpose of the
apostle in referring to the resurrection
was not speculative but practical. with
him the one grand design of all doctrine
was the regulation of life Il Tim, iii:l5).
And so he exhorts the Thessalonians TO
a good use of the information which he
had furnished Verse 1S. He would have
them comfort one another with these
truths What If friends have been taken
away by DEATH what If the tender ties
that bind hearts in the most delightful
relations have been seVered-let those
who have been bereaved remember that
friends are not lost, that in and through
Jesus Christ they shall be regained, that
in some bright day, the resurrection day,
there shall be a reunion. Who will not
then endure the present separation and
sorrow, sustained by such precious
hope? Let the words of consolation be
spoken from one to another throughout
the entire church until all its members
are sustained in the midst of earth's af-
hictions by the prospect of heavens re-
ward e Peter, iii12-lD.

THE FALL OF DOwLAIs CHOIR.

The most startling piece of news
that has for some months futtered
the Eisteddfodic directors is that
which tells of the fall of the once fam
Gus Dowlais club. To the general pub
lis this news came as a complete sur
prise, but those who had followed the
trend of events ION the bill' looked
upon the collapse of the society as in
evitable. And they were right. Things
had not gone smoothly for the last two
years or so. although there was now
and again the semblance of good fell
lowship and united action within and
a seeming sterness of purpose when
the day of battle came. AS showing
how irrecoverably broken up is the
once invincible choir, it is only neces-
sary to state that something like 80 of
the best singers have thrown in their
lot with Mr.. Dan Davis and will sing
with the Merthyr Choir in the Newport
competition. Sic tranit gloria mundi,

Lord and Lady Butte have added yet
another to their long list of services to
the Honorable Society Of Cymmrodo-
rlons. Some three years ago the Mar
uuis and Marchioness displayed the
pictorial and other treasures of ST.
Johns Lodge, their beautiful London
residence, to the members of the So
ciety at an evening conversations.
This year the president and Lady
Butte invited the members and their
friends, numbering over 1000, to a
garden party given in the lovely
grounds attached to st. Johns Lodge.

out of a total enrolled strength of 795
officers and men and five permanent
staff sergeants, there were on parade
sos. including 275 from Cardiff, "a from
Bridgend. 107 from Penarth, and 81
from Barry. There was also a corps
of cyclists numbering a dozen fully
equipped men, who were in the charge
of Sergeant Reads.

This makes a total of 3,460, but the
actual number of choristers present did
not exceed more than 2,70O, and the
orchestra was far from full. There were
four Cardiff brass bands in attendance
viz, the Military band conducted by
Mr.. James Matthews). the st. Paul
band, the st. Peters band conducted
by Mr.. A. Thompson) and the Postofiice
band conducted by Mr.. 4. Sansum),
while the orchestra consisted of about
100 instrumentalists drawn from Lon
don and South Wales. For the purpos-
es of the Tone Poem" the vocalists
were arranged on the orchestra in a
peculiar fashion, being divided into so
many left-hand and right t-hand choirs.
The four brass bands occupied each its
allotted space-one to the extreme right
and another to the extreme left of the
conductor, while the remaining two oc-
cupied seats on each side of the grand
organ, which was manipulated by Mr..
Bryceson Trebarne, y. r. c. NJ.
DR.. Joseph Parry took his seat on the
conductors stool promptly at 3.15, and
his appearance was the signal for a
very enthusiastic outburst of cheering.
The audience at this time numbered
several thousands. though as the con-
cert proceeded it slowly but gradually
dwindled to about one-half. The en-
closed area in front of the orchestra
was by no means fully occupied, and
prominent London Welshmen were con-
spicuously absent. 1t so happened,
unfortunately, that there was simultan-
sously another important assembly in
London-the reception at a garden par
ty by the Marquis and Marchoness of
Butte of the members of the London
Cymmrodorion society, and this possi-
bly, accounted for the absence of many
Welsh members.

OPENING NUMBER,

The concert opened with the rem
dering of the I'm Memoriam," partic-
ularly effective requiem, composed by
DIR. Parry, and which in Wales has Of
ten been heard to advantage. 1t opens
with mournful solo passage for
soprano voices, the beauty of the pass
age would have been demonstrated and
appreciated. AS it happened, however
the passage was rendered only by a
few specially selected voices in a sub
dued, in fact, that even in the front
seats the voices could only with very
great difficulty be distinguished from
the accompaniment. The joyous hymn
at the close of the requiem, depicting
the triumph of the departed DER all the
ills of earth, was very finely rendered
indeed, and was several times repeated
Then came four selections from the
conductors latest cantata, Cambria, >"
which, it will be remembered, was first
produced at the Llandudno eisteddfod

many notes before it became clearly
evident that they had not learnt, much
less mastered, the pieces.
Choir and conductor was repeated-

of course, by the male members of the
chorus. This was a very enjoyable
item, and was heartily applauded.
'"Toriad Dydd ar Gymru," which will
be remembered as the centenary
chorus of the Sunday school union in
Wales, was very well received. Had
it been shorter piece an encore would
doubtless have been demanded. AS to
the reception given to the "Fone Poem"
an ambitious composition for two
choirs, organ, orchestra, and four brass
bands, DR.. Joseph Parry the composer,
has every reason to feel gratified. The

out after careful study of Dante's

Ellis Wyn's "VisiOns of the Sleeping
Bard" 1t is divided into three parts.
In the first, the orchestra depicts night,
religious meditation and sleep, and
leads into the second movement, in
which are given dream visions of the
place of torment. A chorus, "Moans of

UNCERTAINTY Next follows a most
valuable suggestion or caution (Verses
and p. Paul reminds his hearers, what
he assumes they already knew, what,
nevertheless, they were liable to forget,
that the time of Christs coming and of
the resurrection was uncertain, as much
so as the coming of thief in the night
duke Xii:39). Our Lord had also de-
clared Matt, XXiv:36) that the day was
unknown to men and angels and known
only to God. 1t may at first thought
seem strange that the order of the resur-
rection should have been disclosed, and
that the time should be concealed among
the secrets of the Almighty (Deut.. xxx:
29). Further thought will convince all
that this is a wise and mercifu provis-
ion. Its very uncertainty invests the last
day with most solemn import, requiring
of all an attitude of constant eXpecta-
tion and perpetual readiness Matt,
xxiv:42). And, after all, 1t does not con-
cern man to know the times and seasons
of God (Acts, I'D.

CONCLUSIoN.-The topic assigned for
this lesson, Working and Waiting for
Christ" gathers up its chief thoughts.
The supreme duty OF every soul at every
moment in this brief mortal life is to cul-
tivate love toward others and to I'LL an
allotted place with faithful services. But,
as there is another life into which all
must shortly enter, as there is to be set
up another kingdom CTitus. ii:1S), men
ought TO comfort and strengthen their
hearts, looking forward to the day of the
great consummation, but patiently wait
ing Gods own time for bringing His
children home, The obligations of the
present may be rendered easy by the ex-
pectations Of the future. The life that
now Is should be lived under the infiu-
ence of the life which is to come. Man
should be a citizen of two countries-his
earthly relations should be viewed in the
light of his heavenly relations. The great
lesson to be learned is Ito labor and to
wait"

Fruit growers in California are
amazed at the extent OF the apricot
crop. The quantity Of the fruit com
ing il is simply overwhelming, and IL
would seem that every tree in the val-
ley had this year taken to bearing the
luscious cot. The 6riers are unable
TO take care Of the fruit coming in. and

IS picked, One man who could not dis
pose OF his apricors after they were
picked dumped two tons by the road
side, and there are number Of growers
who VIII not attempt TO harvest their
crops
Any losses sustained IN this way, how
ever, are due to the neglect Of the grow
ers TO make preparations Tor handling
the fruit in time. The associations are
haddhng all the fruit Of their mem
berS, and there are number Of drie-s
at work with large forces Of men, Won
en- and children. But it is impossible ia
secure enough help 10 handle the fruit.
Calls for 100 cutters are posted in the
post Office, and probably 200 people
could get employment to-day. Thep
are very few OF the growers who are
prepared to handle their own fruit, and

the associations are obliged TO sell their
fruit or let IL go to waste.
One effect Of the rluI OF apricots VIII
be TO somewhat improve the quality OF
the dried fruit sent out, as some pains
are being taken to discriminate as 10

It has been suggested that large part
OF the fruit going TO waste should be
given to tbs poor people. But those
people are at work in the drie-s for Is
many hours per day as they choose TO

draw wages than TO put in their time
