The main reason why 20 many Of the

the New Years chimes is that they cost
considerable money In proportion to the
satisfaction derived from the practice 1t
was an old custom to always ring the
bells. and special bell ringers were even
employed to do the work. man could
become expert In the ringing of the vari-
GUS bells, especially the chimes, and their
music filled the air as the New Year came
In. In some of the older churches OF
the country the bells are still rung for
short while. and late services are held,
but this has mostly been done away with.
Many of the od-time bells were
especially sweet, giving all the tones of
the present-day musical Instruments. The
art of bell-making was looked up to, and
the church that could furnish the best
music on New Years eve attracted con-
siderable attention. Even the bells used
for the purpose of calling worshippers to
church services have been abandoned In
