4 THOUGHT FOR SUNDAY
BY Amos r. Wells

The wise man promises many years
to those that are ebedient to his words.
This is New Years message worth
needing.
What. however, if our lives are cut
short By some swift disease or some
terrible accident We have listened
TO the words of the wise, we have
6beved them according to our light.
What then becomes of the promise of
many years?
Not one word of the Almighty shall
fall to the groundl Whatever mis-
chance may befall US, the years Of our
life shall be many For we who are
Gods children are heirs of Gods eter-
nifty. This is the glorious assurance we
take with us this new year 1881 shall
be to us the beginning of the endless
years
Life, eternal life-we should be APP
palled at the tremendous prospect. our
Saviour, If we were not walking forth
with Thee. But Thou art our Com
rade. And all our endless years. with
Thee, are blessedly familiar place.

Old English Bellman
Master of His Craft

A famous bellman In old England
was 4 wandering tinker called John
Waylett. He lived In the Eighteenth
century, and was the best repairer In
England. His ways were simple. He
lived like any tramp. sleeping where
he could, eating what he could beg.
When he came to q village he called
on the vicar and asked II the bells
needed repairing. II they did, be used
to dig q mold In field near the
church. Then he pivoted compass
on stake and drove 1t into the bot
tom Of the pit Around this he built
up brick work with FIRE In It. The
mold he stuffed with soft clay, bound
with calves hair. When the mold was
thoroughly baked, metal was poured
In and the bell was done.
John Waylett's good sound bells
Yield single note at time. Il bell
is tapped just above the curve OF the
top 1t will yield note an octave above
the consonant. II 1t IL tapped one
fourth from the bottom 1t will peal
a fifth OF an octave. and at the three
quarter line 1t will sound third OF an
octave. But there Is still further tech
nique In English bell ringing. There
Is hunting" and lodging" and snap
ping" and 'pialn bob" and bob triple"
and hob major" and "grandsire bob
cater" and SO on. Old John Wayleft
used to say that 1t would take 81
years to ring ai the changes on ia
bells at two strokes second, and some
later mathematician says that to COM
plete the sounds Of "a bells would
take III, 600 100000 years
