Ocean. Promptly at IL o'clock every
morning the bell in the handsome new
structure peals forth its melodious
strains, and the echo of its ring reaches
every quarter of the city The first
sound OF the bell is a signal for each
member of the church to cease his or
her worldly labors and engage in. ear
nest prayer.
The idea of the "hour of prayer was
conceived during recent revival meet

The fact that the church bell was rung
every day at the same hour became a
general topic of conversation among
those not acquainted with the plan.
and people began to inquire the cause.
At last the secret leaked out, and the
mystery of the ii o'clock bell' has
been cleared. The plan is said TO be
success.
