I asked Mr. Jeffreys for his own version of a phenomenon said to have occarrel in his own chapel at Llanelly a few days before the war broke out, which is. being much discussed here just now.

Mr. Jeffreys assured me that sulpit a vision of Christ appeared as be was speaking from the behind him. "The presentation," said Mr. Jeffreys, "remained for six hours, and was seen by hundreds of people. It was almost like a photograph appear- ing on the wall behind me."

Sitting on one of the benches was a pale pretty girl of 15. This was Blodwen Davies, опсе 2 messenger girl at the post office at Aberdare, who claims to have seen visions of heaven and of hell while Pastor Jeffreys was visiting the town.

"My little girl is named Mar- garet Irwen Griffith," he told me.

She is about three years old, and has been ailing since she was born. There was death in her face, and she went about like an old woman.

IDOLATRY OF SCIENCE,

INSTRUMENT OF CONCEN- TRATED HUMAN AGONY.

Sir Henry Trueman Wood, Chairman of the Council of the Royal Society of Arts, speaking at its 166th session on "Science and Industry," reviewed the his- tory of the past 100 years and compared the achievements of science in the earlier period with those recently reorded. It was not by State -guided organisation

But while we were insisting on the necessity of proper use of all the benefits we had derived from scientific progress, had we no perhaps devoted ourselves too ardently to ab idolatry scieace. The apostles of every дент religion had dangled before the eses of their disciples promises of a millennium more or less immediate. Hum- anity had revolted, and every creed in turn had marked its progress by persecution and in- tolerance. Great as were the benefits which Christianty had conferred on mankind, it had, in the course of its triumphant pro- gress, been the direct cause of infinite human misery and suffer- ing.

So had the progress of science during the past five years succeeded іп off-setting the benefits it had conferred mankind during the past century by becoming the instrument of more concentrated human ageny than the world had ever known since history began.

To take this point of view was not to attack science or to decry religion, but only to follow the advice of the father of all modern philosophy to be moderate, and to distrust and condema the folly of extreme views.

KISSING BETWEEN COMMUNICANTS.

STORY OF A HIGHLAND CUSTOM.

The Stornoway divorce case which raised questions as to the practice of kissing among com- municants of the Church in the Highlands has been disposed of by Lord Sands in the Courts of Session. The petition was that of Alexander Matheson, a fisher- man of Portnaguran, Stornoway, against his wife Isabella, the co- respondent being William Camp bell, merchant, of Portnaguran.

Lord Sends granted a decree of divorce, with costs against the co-respondent, and £40 damages. The judge said it was proved that during the petitioner's absence on naval service the co-respondent visited the respondent late at night. He also kissed her both when alone and in the presence of her children.

There was evidence of a practice of kissing between Church communicants, although, added his Lordship whimsically, the saluation seemed to pass be- tween persons of opposite sexes.

His Lordship traced the exist ence of this "somewhat startling custom to the fact that formerly a mere handful of Church adher- ents in the Highlands participat ed in the Communion, although, he said, the Communion season there was a far more solemn occasion than in the Lowlanda. The tradition came down from Roman Catholic times. For- merly the celebrants were mostly elderly people but now many younger persons were becoming communicants, and that caused an awkward complication as regarded the kissing practice. It might be all very well for elderly saints to greet one another with a chaste Oriental religious salute, but it was

different matter when it came to young married women being promiscuously kinė- ed by casual male acquaintancOS who happened to be fellow com- municants."

While the kissing indulged in by the parties in the case before the Court had not the conclusive. character of undue familiarity, it could not be regarded altogether as without significance. The co- respondent did more than kiss. He put his arms round the res spondent, for which his Lordship I could find no' justification” in
