CHURCH BELLS
TO TUB EDITOR Olf TUB PRESS. Sh-.—i most heartily agree with '•Conscientious" that church bells should be silenced en Sundays. By all means let them labour on the other six days, when the sweet music created by street traffic, factory and workshop machinery, etc., etc., may drown their "unholy din," but lot them not desecrate the reverent calnt of the Now Zealand Sabbath. I would suggest, further, that on this one day in seven, all tintinabulation cease—fire-bells, bicycle-bells, telephone and door-bells, town oleck bolls, tram bells, railway station and railway crossing warning bells dinner-bells, cow-bells and sepa-rator-pplls--also bell-birds and bluebells Then shall the Sabbath air be pure and undented indeed.—Yours, etc., AUNTY BELLE. February 21, 1936.
