In more recent years more modern
airs have been introduced, but scme
of the old-timers are still sung in
the Sunday schools. OF the modern
songs many are used in common.
and at almost all of the Sunday
schools of Pine Bluff one can hear
hundreds of childish voices ringing
cut in gladstone unison. as they sing

sweeter music could there be than
that of innocent children, giving
praise to the Son CT man for His good

been men who have condemned Sun

The Church Bells.

There is one movement, however
which has become common with
churches of these days-though it has
net made much progress in Pine
Bluff yet-and one which, for some
reasons, is to be regretted-the tend.
ency to discard the church bell. In
this day of great cities, where every
household has at least one clcck and,
maybe, several watches, the church
bell, announcing the hour of worship,
is no longer necessity. Hence it is
gradually being left off and in a
few years. at the present rate, the
church bell promises to be unknown.
1t really seems pity, for what Is
more impressing than the mingling
tones of scores of church bells, pro.
claiming that worshippers are as.
sembling at the house CT prayer and
reminding those who never darken
the doors of church that such things
are still an important part of our
plan of civilization? What more
impressive invitation to worship could
be given than the sonorous notes o,
church bells and chimes? II we are
tc lose the church bells. let us, by
all means, have the chimes.

missionary hymn,

This great stanza, familiar to al

chimes has been heard by thousands
who never darken a church door, was
written by Reginald Heber. and has
been pronounced by critics to be one

hymns which have come to be widely
used. Among them, "There Is a
Fountain Filled With Blood 90 Glor-

scores of others.

The Hymns They Sinu.

Pine Bluff has about as many re.
ligious denominations as any city
of her size in the country and nearly
all CT the leading ones are represent
ed by houses of worship, and of the
best known there are two or three
each People have their preferences
for enc reason and another, and un-
der no consideration in the world
could they be induced to change their
faith-yet it is interesting to note
the many things all the churches
have in common. The great funda-
mental truths taught are very much
the same and of course some have
frills that others have not and some
teach this or that which is contrary
to the belief of the others; some are
sticklers for formality, and others
prefer the free ana easy way; but still
the things one hears, the sermons,
the prayers, the songs that are sung
are very similar. Especially is this
notable in the songs. OF course, the
anthems may be different. One can
not remember whether he has ever
heard them before or not, after the
organist and the chcir get through
with their fiourishes. But the
HYMNS, the congregational singing,
when they go back to the goo"

judge which are the happiest. And
motives that prompt the various in.
dividuals to go to church-what are
they? 1t would be hard to say, fer
they are as many almost as there are
