From Mardy to Tylorstown is a distance of only a few miles, and yet, the interest in the revival and the revivalists, after five days of incessant mission work, seems to be showing no abatement whatever, and in the drizzling rain which is falling this evening I find crowds were wending their way to the Welsh Congregational Chapel on Monday soon after five o'clock for the evening meeting in order that they might hear Mr Evan Roberts. I enter the building at a quarter to six, and although the afternoon meeting at the Calvanistic Methodist Chapel had not been brought to a close until after five o'clock, there is her already a large congregation and the enthusiasm is thorough. A young lady residing in the neighbourhood goes into the "big pew" and reads a chapter in Welsh. Her enunciation is clear, and she brings keen intelligence and heartfelt appreciation to bear upon her work. Then she gives out a hymn, which it taken up with fervour by the congregation. Then the prayers offered up begin to indicate the under?current of indignation which prevails at the criticism recently offered upon the conduct of some of the outward manifestations of feeling at Ferndale. The petitioners in Welsh and English asked that the critics be moved to praise instead of judging. A young woman in the gallery strikes up the hymn, "Why not tonight?" and afterwards prays in English for the salvation of her sisters. This is followed by an outburst of the desire to experience "A Breeze from Calvary Hill."

A man in the body of the chapel rises and declares that there are "hearers" in the lobby who are unable to gain admittance, and he appeals to Church members to endeavour to make room for those whose salvation was a serious matter. "Will as many as can come with me to Bethany, then?" calls out a local minister, and the response was decidedly a credit to the heads and the hearts of the working men of Tylorstown. Even at the risk nay, almost the certainty - of being unable to see and heart Mr Evan Roberts, a considerable number went out in order to make room for those whom the chapel failed to accommodate.

"A voice from Llanelly" is raised when a young man tells of the effects of the revival at Adulam, Felinfoel, where 30 converts were enrolled on Sunday evening.

"Aeth yn brydnawn, mae yn hwyrhau, Mae drws trugaredd heb ei gau,"

is sung, and the "repeat" is earnest and emphatic -

"The shades of night now falling are -
The door of mercy's still ajar."

There is greater variety here than has been witnessed at the majority of previous meetings, for, standing in the aisle, a young man sings a solo, "Bendithiasist goed y meusydd" ("Thou hast blessed the trees of the field") and gives us an additional to the same tune the well-known hymn, "Bydd myrdd o ryfeddodau" ("There'll be a myriad wonders"), which of course Is the signal for the congregation to sing the hymn to the ordinary tune, "O, yr Oen, yr addfwyn Oen" (Oh, the Lamb, the gentle Lamb, the Lamb on Calvary"), is struck up by a young lady in the gallery, and subsequent verses are started by one young woman here and another there.

Then, from a brief address by the minister already alluded to we drift, naturally, into music again, as a clear young voice sings - "Yes, I'll sing the wondrous story, Of the Christ who died for me," and the Rev E Roberts Hern of Portsmouth had been permitted to say a few words in his own language. Madame Kate Morgan took the platform and sang "Y cant namyu un" ("The ninety and nine"), and thus is the time whiled away until the arrival of Mr Evan Roberts at five minutes past eight o'clock, and as if inspired, the whole congregation bursts out into - "Mae'r etifoddioath i ni'n d'od, Wrth Destament ein Tad"

We nearly came on Monday night to a repetition of the Tonyfelin meeting at Caerphilly. The "crush" was so great as to make it impossible to speak or hear. The heat also was very great and the Rev Dr Phillips BA explained that unless some of the congregation went to another chapel there would be no possibility of carrying on the service.

Mr Roberts declared that the Spirit could not be with them in such a "crush" and amid such disturbances, but it would assuredly follow and bless those who went out in order to relieve the congestion.

A hymn was sung, and the chapel was to some extent cleared, whereupon the revivalist asked two or three to pray for a blessing upon the friends who had so kindly gone out. He hoped those who had gone would form a procession and sing through the street.

The prayers asked for were given, and Mr Evan Roberts proceeded to address the gathering. The meeting was a most successful one, and the subdued spirit prevailing being most impressive.
