Bell Ringing.
One Of The Oldest
Christmas Customs
MN HAT would Christmas be with

NrN4 HAl would CHRISTMAS be with
WI out the melody Of the bells
ringing good win toward men?
Bell ringing Is one Of the oldest OF
Christmas customs. At one time, In
England, the ringers gave their serv-
Ices free, nor would they accept any
special payment. The peal was rung
as q matter of course, and was the
natural expression Of English joyous
ness. The merry music OF the bells IN
Great Britain and wherever churches
have pea1s Of bells, ~ today as much
feature Of Christmas as the decora-
tion Of church and home with ever
greens, Or the provision Of the good
cheer which always marks this festive
season.
What an outcry there would be II
an edlct were issued forbidding the
ringing Of the bells during the coming
festive seasonl Yet this was actually
done during the Commonwealth, for
IN 1852 the wise men OF parliament
gave orders that 'no observation shall
be had OF the hye-and-twentieth day
Of December, commonly called Christ
mas day
IL ~ quite certain that this edict
was dlsregarded In many places, while
10 Others II led TO open rioting. At
Canterbury the mayor Of the city tried
to enforce the new rule, but the people
were not going to be deprived Of their
pleasures so easily, so they took the
law into their own hands. broke the
mayors windows-and some of his
bones AZ well-and affirmed their In
tention OF keeping their christmas in
their own fashion. Just as their fathers
had done before them.
