LLANEDEYRN CHURCH.  DEDICATION OF NEW PULPIT AND LECTERN.  Llanedeyrn Parish Church, St. Mellon's, was well filled on Tuesday afternoon on the occasion of the dedication service of the new pulpit and lectern, provided by a public subscription which was generously responded to. The church has been splendidly renovated during the past few months, and the pulpit and lectern, which are both of fine workmanship, add greatly to the completeness of this place of worship. The rural dean (the Rev. T. W. Evans) performed the service, and delivered a reminiscent address. In the evening the Rev. Hubert G. Stanley (vicar of Marshfield) preached.

LORD TREDEGAR TRIBUTE  A public meeting, convened by Mr. Williams, Coedygorae, was held at the school- room in the parish of Llanedeyrn on Tuesday evening to take into consideration the desirability of giving the parishioners an opportunity of joining in the Lord Tredegar tribute movement. A committee was formed to carry out this object, consisting of the vicar, the Rev. Theophilus Rees (chairman), Mr. Williams, Coedygoras (secretary), Mr. Rowland Thomas, Mr. Husband, and Mr. Morgan, of Julian's Farm. Much regret was expressed that the three counties could not agree in making one national testimonial worthy of the large-hearted descendant of Ivor Hael
