away country, where few
people have ever tray.
eled, a wonderful church.
ia 1t stood on high hill in
NV the midst of a great city,
oNo and every Sunday, and on
HE A5S sacred days like Christ
~ mas, thousands of people
climbed the hill to thechurch
When you came to the building it..
self you found stone columns and dark
passageways and a grand entrance
leading to the main room of the
church. This room was so long that
pne standing at the doorway could
scarcely see the other end, where the
choir and the minister sat near the
marble altar. At the farthest cor
ner was the organ, which was so loud
that when it began to play the people
lar off could hear it.
The strangest thing, about the whole
building was the wonderful chime of
bells. There stood at one corner of
The church gray stone tower with
Ivy growing over it as far as one could
bee. 1t was so high that it was only
IN very fair weather that anyone
claimed to see the top. Up and up
climbed the stones, and since the men
who built the church had been dead
Tor many hundreds of years, everyone
bad forgotten how high the tower was
Supposed to be.
Now, all the wise people knew that
BIT the top of the tower was a chime of
christmas bells. They had hung there
over since the church was finished and
we're the most beautiful bells in the
FOrld Some thought it was because
great musician had cast them and
arranged them in their place, and 9TH
prs said it was because of the great
beight of the tower, reaching up to
khere the air was clear and pure;
however this may be, no one who had
beard the chimes denied that they
sere the sweetest in the world. Some
described them like angels sounding
Jar up in the sky.
But the fact was that no one had
beard them ring for years and years.
here was an old man living not far
rom the church who said that his
bother had spoken of hearing them
Fhen she was a little girl, and he was
be only one who could say as much
that. They were Christmas chimes,
lou remember, and were not meant to
)e played by men or on common oc-
|asions.
On Christmas eve all of the people
the city brought their offerings to
he church to offer to the Christ child,
nd when the greatest and best offer.
