acutely feel and mourn. He was a giant amongst the mighty men that this College was hoooured in training ; and his altna inater had no truer friend, no more loyal and generous supporter, or more regular and welcome attendant at its gatherings than he. For a long time to come, his business tact and knowledge, his wise counsels, his social qualities, his kind encouraging words, and his ready practical sym- pathy and help will be missed in this place. At the same time, we cannot forget his invaluable services to the denomination, the noble self-sacrifice he always displayed, and the uncompromising attitude he ever assumed in the face of injustice, oppression, and wrong. May the Lord comfort his family and care for his church.

GAN Y PROFFESSWR EDWARDS, PONTYPWL.

" Aberdare. — The funeral of the late Rev. T. Price, M.A., Ph.D., of Calvaria Chapel, took place on Thursday, the 8th inst. A large number of ministers took part in the successive services which were held. Professor Edwards, of Pontypool College, delivered the funeral address.

These stars of the first magnitude are not ofteu seen in our lower sky. Look we at him in his work as a citÌ2en, in his services as a philanthropist, in his labours as an educationalist, in his achievements as a minister of the Gospel, there is much on every hand at which we must marvel. His was the philosopher's stone which turned everything to gold. Everything seemed to burst into new life and flourish under his magic touch. We cannot begin to enumerate the services he rendered to the denomination. In raany respedts he was our archbishop, yea, in some respeéts a very apostle. Nothing less than a calamitous earthquake would obliterate the outward signs of his energy and power in the Aberdare Yalley, and on account of the work he has done, his name is a household word throughout the
