ANCIENT CHURCH BELL
ONE IN PHILADELPHIA OLDER
THAN FAMOUS "LIBERTY."
Goes Back to the Times When the
Early Swedes Settled on the Banks
Of the DeIaware-StiIl In
Good Condition.

Comparatively few persons among
the 1900 or 1000 who attended the
funeral of Rev. Snyder B. Shines al
Gloria Del loud Swedes) church
knew that the bell which tolled with
measured strokes as the body of the
beloved minister was carried to its
last resting place in the churchyard
Is the oldest church bell in Philadel
phia, says the Public Ledger. This
bell antedates the appearance OF
William Penn upon Pennsylvania
soil. It has it's origin in the days OF
the early Swedes who settled on the
banks of the Delaware. In fact, the
Gloria Del bell is SO old that It makes
the famous Liberty Bell appear like
youngster in swaddling clothes.
Moreover, this Gloria Del bell is
still in good condition, SOUND and
serviceable.
Cast for the Swedish church in
Philad'a, stiled Gloria Dei-G. He'd.
derby Fecit-1s06-partly from the old
bell dated 1643," is the inscription on
the bell. Thomas Bleyeler, one of the
vestrymen Of Gloria Del church has
In his possession interesting data
bearing upon the history of this ia
nous church bell. AS indicated in
the inscription, the bell was recast
and enlarged in 1906. But 1t is sub
stantially the same bell which called
the Swedes to prayer back in the
earlier years. Israel Acrelius, provost
of the Swedish churches in America
Wilmington, Del, in one of his his
torical studies of the early Swedes re-
lates an anecdote of this Gloria Del
bell and one of Governor Printz's
daughters. 1t appears that after her
fathers death the Swedes on the
Delaware offended this good woman,
whereupon, writes Acrelius, "out Of
contempt for the Swedes she sold
with her farm the church Cat TIM
cum which was built upon it, as also
bell to Hollander."
We learn from the same historian
that the congregation had to buy
their bell back again by two days
reaping in harvest time after Nine.
Armegot had gone away. 1t is
gratifying to know that even in those
early times Philadelphia had at least
one working church" They were
not the pew warmers. Mr.. Bleyler's
documents inform us that the "old
bell, dated 1913, came from Tinicum
(now called Essington), on the west
side of the Delaware river, north Of
Darby creek, which was the principal
settlement of the third Swedish gov
ernor, John Printz, who arrived Feb
ruary 10, 1913.
'The bell is supposed to have been
first used by the Tinicum church in
1916, unless an earlier church was in
existence at that place, and con-
tinued to be in use at that church
until 100, when, it is said, the Swed-
ish congregation left Tinicum and
united with Gloria Del church. At
that date, it is supposed, the bell was
removed from Tinicum to Philadek

In its annual review OF the past
year. Brndstreet's tells us many things
that most or US knew already and that
many OF M arc vary well satisfied TO
forget But in its forecast for the new
year. Bradstrect's gives us . somewhat
different and more satisfactory story.
The following extract from the FORE
cast is worth remembering:
with the results Of 1914. that year
Of n hundred years. In mind, one
would be rash who would pin himself
down to hard and fast predictions az
"a the course OF 1915 trade. On the
stock market theory that all the bad
news Ia out, any possible changes
would seem 20 be for the better. IL
needs 70 be remembered that following
the first crash OF hostilities and the
succeeding recuperation. the effect OF
the immense war expenditures mas
been q stimulating one, and European
an we'll AZ American industries cater
Ing In any way to war conditions have
been accelerated. II was 30 In our civil
war. and there Ia historical basis for
the claim that replacing the waste or
war has often given as impetus to
varied line or industries.
The financial results the debts piled
I'D. the ruin Of the fought-over regions,
the industries destroyed. the lives lost,
the trade formerly possessed gone be-
yond recall, must be left to the future
to record. but II must be remembered
that the world as a whole inevitably
pays the bin as truly as the business
community pays the loss from failure
or from fire.
The lot Of the neutral In the war is
not an altogether pleasant one--we IN
this country have felt this already
but as the leading neutral country, a
position which 1t is to be hoped we will
retain. we seem destined to ran neir
TO much of Europe's lost trade.
On the surface Of things, It might
be said that we have completed IN
the form of bankruptcies vast vol
ume of liquidation that, hurtful as II
has been. win not need to be done
over again.
we now have real currency sys-
tenn, and the time-honored American
panic seems to have lost most or It's
power for evil. IT is to be hoped that
the bulk of our recent legislation, out
notably the tariff and the ship regis
try bills, will bring us new customers
Our crops have been large. and, even
with the loss In cotton, have brought
nearly as much money as the best OF
previous years. Our conduct as a ma
ton has made. not lost, us friends
among the belligerents, and some ol
the events Of the year have taught
our manufacturers and statesmen the
value. indeed, the necessity, 81
strengthening our Industrial resources,
where the war has demonstrated that
weakness exist.
All in all, the American business
man seems justified in taking leave
az 1914 with few regrets and more
homes than seemed possible at some
disturbed periods in the recent past
From, such recognized business
authority as Bradstreet's this Is en-
couraging. 1t does not hold out pros
pects OF any very tremendous business
activity, but 1t does contemplate
steady Improvement on the solid SOL
vent basis which already exists. The
reasons given for this forecast APP
pear to be good and they are justi-
fled by all the facts available at this
time.

THE HONORABLE SANTA FEE.

Another big thing that's been done
by the Atchison, Topeka and Santa .Fe
Railway company, and one of the
largest and squarest things that any
corporation ever did. is its confession
of moral responsibility for the explo-
sion of the gasoline tank car that
wrecked a considerable portion of
Ardmore, and caused the death of ~
of its citizens. The Santa Fe announces
that it will pay all damages that re-
suited from this accident as soon as
they are properly appraised, and with
out their adjudication by the courts
The door was open for the Santa F'e to
contest the matter of responsibility for
this disaster by fighting the damage
suits against the company that were
certain to grow out of it. And the
Santa Fe could have tied up the set
tIement of such damages, did the
courts find it's liable, for many months
and perhaps year or two, and incl
dentally dissipate a good share of
them in lawyers fees. Were all cor
porations as honorable and given to
square-dealing as is the Santa Fe, the
corporate problem in this country
would be far easier of solution. In
deed, it would solve itself.

TROUBLE FOR CORN
Frost and Cold Weather Hold Back
Maturing Crop.

The last issue of the crop bulletin
for the corn belt was given out by the

day for the week ending Tuesday, Oc-

ditions are unfavorable for the ma
turing of corn, and the work of plant
ing wheat is progressing slowly
Following is the last regular weekly
bulletin for the season of 1915:
In much of the central and north
ern portions of the corn belt late corn
is maturing slowly on account of the
cool, damp weather, and considerable
damage resulted from frost at the
close of the week. Much late corn is
being put in silos.
In the southern corn states the crop
is safe and to the northward the early
planted is generally matured and cut
ting is progressing rapidly.
In portions of the spring wheat belt
considerable threshing is not yet fin
ished and the work has been further
delayed on account of the damp
