Charming German Method of SummOning
Church WOrshipers.
While religious music will doubtless
live as long as religion itself there is
one branch of tiff music it can lie
called-which is luckily becoming OBJ
solete. I refer to bells and chimes. /
shall never forget the look of distress
with which famous organist once said
to me that whenever he heard a set of
| chimes he wished he could put his ears
in his pocket.
In these days of 81 nickel watches
bells are no longer needed to inform
people when the service begins. They
are, moreover, a decided nuisance. and
often dangerous one, for they have
killed many invalids whose life depend
ed upon few hours sleep, which the
bells murdered. In New York bell ring.
| ing has been frequently stopped on &C
count of complaints to the board OF
health.
If it seems desirable to have O means
| Of summoning worshipers to church,
why not adopt the delightful old custom
that is still observed in some south Ger.
man villages and in the city of Stuff.
CART! There four trombone players as
cend a church tower three times day
and play q solemn chorale.
In all my musical experience / have
never heard anything more thrilling
than those majestic harmonies in the
air, which seemed to come straight
from heaven. If our churches would
adopt this custom and these celestial
sounds became associated with religious
experiences, they might arouse the dor
mant devotion of many one who other
wise would pass the church door bv.
