Defeating THE BELL.
Last Sunday morning our worthy pastor
said, A new bell graces the tower Of our
chHreh. ana for the first time hes its joyous
voice gone forth calling US 10 The worship |
OF eur Creator here on this beautiful sabbath
morning. It is an achievement Of no triaipg |
Importance and great and better results
aay flow from it than We can now anticipate. |
deem it worthy of dedication. Why should |
1t not be appropriate to dedicate q bell ?
We dedicate churches and the joyous Voice
of this bell is to call Us to the house Of God |
to worship him there and he had therefore
concluded to preach what might be called
BELL SERMON.
The text was taken In the fifteenth verse |
OF the eighty-ninth Psalm, blessed IS the
people who know the joyful sound" The [
words "joyful sound" the speaker said,
doubtless referred to the Gospel. Tho word |
gospel was derived FROM The old saxon word |
Godspel. Gods spaachen or speech the
Whatsoun could bring with it more Joy |
and gladness., to man, totally and sternally |
ruined by ain, than the joyful tidlngs that
God was willing and. ready to forgive his
re6elsouS creatures if they would tnrn from
their evil ways and seek his face.
This bell which we have recently placed
upon our church is to summon tho people
to come and hear the "glad tidings."
When ite solemn tones as they noatthrouxh
the still sabbath air and fall on the cars
of the careless and Indifferent, it will remind
them perhaps that there is God, a iudg-
ment and an eternity that there ia . place
whers:ths people meet TO worship and praise

salvation and learn the way of life.
They may not all heed its Invitation. II
can hardly be expected when some of those
who come and sit under tina droppings of she

Lord. Bat the memory of the sound ef this
bell will follow them to the farthest eternity
and their souls Will be filed with unuttera.
