The uses of bells as summons to prayer are not derived directly (rom! this source as they have been used; in all ages for secular as well as re- ligious purposes. In the Greclan army the officer of the guard visited the sentries at night with a bell as a signal of watchfulness, and the Romans used small ones in their baths and places of business. The honor of inventing the large church bells, however, is ascribed to Paulinus, Bishop of Nola, a city oli Campania, who flourished in the fifth century of the Christian era. long after they were introduced into Britaln, St. Dunstan presented several to Malmesbury Abbey, and the abbot of England, In King Edward's time, made six bells, which were named after distinguished personages, and, says the historian, such a concert was never heard in the land before, The custom of ringing upon occa- slons of public rejoicings Is derived from an early usage of (he Catholics, who in this manner gave notice of the arrival of a church dignitary within their jurisdiction, and it was regarded as a high offense if the bells were not rung. Publicity an Essential. James Hamilton Lewls, once a mem- ber of congress and now an altorney in Chicago, was on one occasion can- didate for an elective position in the northwest. At that time Lewls was famous for “his pink whiskers,” of which he had a roseate and flaming abundance.
