        SEFYDLU LLWFRGELL 1893.

        Dyma'r flwyddyn hefyd y daeth mater y Llyfrgell i'r eglwys a'r gynulleidfa i ffurf weithredol - yn fater i'w benderfynu. Yr oedd hon fel Teml Solomon gynt; Dafydd gafodd y portread o hono ond Solomon a'i hadeiladodd; felly yma, yr oedd y drchfeddwl o Lyfrgell i'r capel yn meddiant Dafydd John er ys blynyddau, ond William E. Thomas ddaeth a hi i derfyniad trwy y rhes gyngherddau gynaliwyd gan y cor o dan ei arweinyddiaeth; ond cafodd Dafydd John y mwynhad o wel'd ei ddrychfeddyliau'n cael eu sylweddoli, a chafodd y pleser e'i hagor yn ffurfilo Tachwedd y 13eg, 1893.

         

         

        ESTABLISHING A LIBRARY 1893.

        This was the year when the question of establishing a Library for Ebenezer Church was put to the congregation for a decision. This could be likened to the Biblical account of Solomon's Temple - David had the dream [of a temple] but it was Solomon who had it built. So here, it was Dafydd John who for years had a vision of having a library for the chapel, but it was William E. Thomas [Dafydd John's successor as choir conductor] who enabled this facility to become affordable through a series of concerts performed by the choir under his leadership. Dafydd John had the satisfaction of seeing his dream come true, and he was granted the honour of officially opening the new Library on 13th November, 1893.
