Modern Aneelus.

Some weeks ago n of u local
churches instituted the ceremony of
having it's big bell rung every day
at the noon hour as a call to prayer
for the community. 1t was a very
tender appeal to the people, and the
response to the sentiment was quick
and wide.
Now there comes the announcement
that, through the suggestion of the
Times of that city, Washington is to
have an "angelus'-a bell call at 6
o'clock of every afternoon that all
the people may unite for a few min
utes in a prayer for the country and
for the victorious return of our sol
diers from overseas. The bell IS to
be called the "War Angelus.'
The Daily Oklahoman falls into
line and suggests that the custom be
not confined to one or two cities, but
that the angelus become a national
matter, every city and town of the
country joining in the silent prayer IN
response to the bell call.
The thought was a natural sequence
The Tupelo journal., 1918-06-14

to the initial ceremony started here
in our own city, and is as beautiful
as it is spontaneous. The idea OF
the bell summoning tosprayer is as
old as the early churches. In the Ro-
man Catholic countries the ringing of
the angelus has been one of the most
impressive and picturesque ceremo-
MES during the centuries. "Angelus
Domini"-"Angel Of the Lord
were the opening words Of the short
prayer, and hence the name.
But the church bell is nonsectarian
for every house Of God has it's bra
zen herald to call the people to wor-
ship. Hence no one can obpect to the
evening bell as it is proposed to be
rung.
And these war times are fading out
the divisional lines of religious sects
There is a broader comprehension OF
our neighbours creed and a deepening
respect for his special formula OF be-
lief. We are n the borderlano
of n universal faith than we have
ever been in the history Of the world
for it is mankind and not individual
ism that is become the watchword OF
our service.
And SO it is this national bell sum
mons-call it angelus or call it some
thing else-is a direct appeal to mer
lust at the wistful, mystical end OF
the day when the heart is free of the
burdens that have weighted it and we
are reaching out for a consolation fol
the night. From the lips of the
whole nation may go up such a pray
err as each may formulate in his needs
and necessities.

we love in peace and in war, ant

Is there any heart in America tina
cannot pray a prayer like that while
the bells peal one to another across

which liberty "must not perish

The fuel administration has
given statistics to the public
showing that it will be necessa-
ry to adopt a very rigid policy
of saving of coal if the next
winter is tided over without
suffering ito the people. To
escape this 60, 100000 tons of
coal must be saved. In order
to do this every possible econ

practiced.

AS the people reduce their

surplus earnings into govern
ment loans they transfer their

by private citizens for personal
