BELLS OF BUDDHA
Their Tones Vary With the
Tastes of the People.
Continuous Symphony of Thinking in
Rangoon and Neutrality-suspicious.
csc Eore Stern in Tone.

The bell is almost as characteristic
q symbol Of Buddhism as is the seated
figure of Buddha himself. 1t varies,
In the different Buddhist countries,
with the temperament aud tastes of
the people. In Burma, where even
Buddhism turns to sunshine and to
prettiness and the towers of the tenn
pies eyaporate in lace work and jewell
ry, the bells glittering with precious
stones, hang in clusters from the UNI
brellalike top Of the pagoda spire and
ring at their own sweet will. In the
temple courts OF Rsngoon and Manda-
lay there is continuous symphony
of tinkling and Ginning things
dainty, casual, Maynard.
But the bells of China and Korea
diose and sober. Like the stained
glass windows of European cathedrals,
japanese bells are storied records of
their temples and their times. They
bear inscriptions by famous poets and
scholars; they are nodded into a
wealth of symbolism. And around
them cling, like the moss and flow
ers that have overgrown the woodland
Buddhas of Nfkko, legends and tales
and history that live on the lips of gen.
erations who have dwelt In the
shadow of some great bell and whose
lives have been unconsciously attuned
to its grave and somber harmony.
Yet, though. the imagination of the
people clings around it, the temple
bell seems to speak most eloquently
from lonely places, from the heart of
monastic woods, from heights to which
the contemplative may withdraw for
meditation. 1t has none Of the ia
miliar and sociable character Of the
occidental church bell. Though Chris
tlanity, like Buddhism, has under
stood the value of the bell, the differ
ence between the bells of East and
West is typical of difference in the
genius of the two faiths. In the cities
Of England and northern Europe the
bell Is the first to speak out ON any
occasion Of special significance to the
people. 1t announces funerals, wed
dings, fires and wars. 1t is at its best
ip the expression Of communal joy.
The very method of ringing-in caril-
Ions, chimes and joyous changes
makes it seem representation of |
many voices raised in chorus Of |
gladness.
The Buddhist bell has none of these !
social characteristics. 1t could hard
~ quicken It's deep tone to speak Of |
JOY. 1t seems voice apart from tenn
poral things, cognizant only of eternity |
and Nirvana. Yet on any occasion |
Of general sorrow its accent-tranQuii,
remote, unhurried--may be immeas-
urably conSoling. An American who
lived in Kobe while the epidemic of
Influenza was at it's worst often speaks
Of the comfort he felt in the sound Of
the temple bell from the Hill. Ali day
be saw the procession of the dead
pass his house and smoke Of the Gre
dimmsng the sky; but every
night at nine o'clock the great bell
spoke out-serene and gracious on
the evening air-and Its grave voice
seemed to be saying: Fret not; for
all this passes. It is well. Marjorie
Latta Barstow in Asia Magazine.

If You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
II is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all az once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten! The
reason is PLAINTIFF article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as Ike
an endless chain system the remedy Is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, 70 those who are in need Of It..
A prominent druggist says Take for
example DIR. kilmer's SwampRoOt, a
preparation I have sold for many years
and never hesitate TO recommend, for in
almost every case IL shows excellent re-
suits, as many Of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has so large a
sale"
According TO sworn statements and
verified testimony Of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success Of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
so many people claim, that II fulhlls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive a sample bottle OF
Swamp-Root by Parcels Post. Address
