THE HALESOWEN CHURCH CLOCK.
To the Editor of the" Observer."

Sin,—The Halesowen Church Clock has gut into such
a bad condition, that it is continually telling thegromest
falsehoods. Its chimes play, and it strikes, at least,
sometimes, but ita notes and its handa are altogether at
variance; so much so, that the poorestman 15 the parish
if he has a clock, would not endure to be troubled with
a thing of that sort, which would not tell the truth bet.
ter. It certainly is a disgrace to the town, and the
sooner it is either removed or greatly improved, the
better. There is no doubt it would entail a great outlay
of money to replace it with a new one, and repairing the
old one would doubtless coat as much in the long run,
and, perhaps, more. But there is a great amount of
wealth mu the town and neighbourhood , especially amongst
those who attend the church, and I believe the great
majority even of the working classes would sooner con-
tribute their mite than he cosiinually troubled with such
a bore. . _

I trust the day may not be far distant when the atten-
tion of those whom at most concerns will be turned to.
wards the renovation of the Church Cluck, sad that it
will become what it ought to be—s standard of reference
as to time to the parish, or, at least, to the town of
lialesowen.
