The Rev. W. Jones, of Moriiston (Glamorganshire), delivered an address in Zion Calvinistic Methodist Chanel. Llanrwst. Before he ascended the pulpit one of the deacons deposited a box inside it. . Havinc spoken for some time, the speaker ' exhibited the box, and-produced from it a somewhat ancient-looking concertina, remarking : " You must not be afraid of this—it is saved. It has been for forty years played at the taverns of Dowlais and Pontypridd, but the player is now a valuable member of the move* ment and would not sell this instrument for the wor'd. When I play this concertina the Devil himself trembles and is tormented: to hear its reformed music." Mr. Jones then Bang the hymn, " As I am," accompanying himself-upon the concertina ia masterly style. '
