"SILYN EVANS."

The Rev. D. Silyn Evans, of Aberdare, who has been elected chairman of the Union of Welsh Independents, is one of the "characters" of the Welsh pulpit, says the Christian World. Born at Gwernogle, Carmarthenshire, sixty-one years ago, he began to preach before he was twenty, and after a course of training at the Brecon College, was ordained as pastor of Moriah Church, Rhymney. Seven years later he removed to Ebbw Vale, but only remained there a short time, as he accepted the pastorate of Siloah Church, Aberdare, where, for over thirty years, he has ministered with marked success. He is not only a great preacher, but also an author of repute. He has published several works in the Welsh language, and is the editor of the weekly Tarian y Gweithiwr and the monthly Dysgedydd y Plant.
