Evan Roberts was to be God’s chosen vessel to lead Wales out of sin during the years of the Welsh Methodist Revival of 1904-05. And it was at Bethel that the final act of a struggle for a salvation which lasted weeks was to climax during the autumn of 1904
grammar school -just thirty yards on the road towards town - was run by headmaster John Phillips, second son to Evan and Anne. Sunny Side was open house for the students and Anne Phillips must have been hard pushed to feed them all. It was a disputatious household with Evan Phillips arguing some of the important passages in the Bible to draw out the students. But it was also clearly a warm- hearted one and a home from home for the students. Many who later went on to theological colleges testified that their
education there did not compare with their time at Sunny Side
and the grammar school. One of the students who attended the
grammar school and who was certainly a frequent guest at Sunny Side, though he did not lodge there, was a young man from Loughor called Evan Roberts.
