Shells From Church Bells.
A letter found in a raided German dugout, written at Erfurt, in Saxony, on May 28, says:— " The church bells have pealed a farewell.

No eye remained dry when the pastor mentioned that instead of ringing out the tidings of an early peace they must now cause death and destruction."
