Newspaper Page TextMerrily, Bells Are Ringing For Holiday Ringing: across the ages and around the world, bells are part of the traditions of Christmas. Zurich, Switzerland, has long been noted for its beautiful bells, say the editors of the New Book of Knowledge. Every Christmas Eve, the Zurich bells ring out loud and clear, calling families to church. This same tradition is repeated in thousands of other cities, where chimes and bells ring out at midnight from the steeples and spires of churches. Bells contribute to the sights as well as the sounds of the holi day season. They are a popular decoration and are used as orn ament on trees. Tradition has it that bells in spired Clement C. Moore to write his famous poem, “A Visit from St. Nicholas.” The inspiration came from listening to the merry jingle of bells on his horses’ harness, as he drove along on a frosty winter night.

Three wise and good men followed a star one night in WSt | . % v j. search of truth, in search of peace. Their quest led them •'•• •->•?$; to a town called Bethlehem where lay an infant Babe. " V. Then and there, new hope for mankind was born. Two centuries later, we are still on a desperate quest jjS3Bte.S&l for peace. But as yet our path is not as easy as those who 3 followed the light of a star, nor is it likely that we will jg|| find our answer in historic Bethlehem. But the message of that place is still as clear, still as strong, if only we will heed the words. Seek Him, and you shall find Him . . . in quiet con ' / temptation, in prayer, in church He waits to welcome you. Go to church this Sunday. Pray not only for your own needs, but for all the world!
