Bells

Throughout history BELLS have been used to alert people to life-changing events. Deaths, births, fires, invasions, victories, etc. The sound of the bell magnified people's emotions to the extreme - from agony to ecstacy. In early times churches had a bell in their belfry. It rang every Sunday morning to announce, "it's time to gather to worship". Wives rang the bell to summons field workers home for dinner. Plantation owners rang the bell to alert workers that it was "quitting time". No matter what the ocdasion.......when you heard a bell ring......you listened!!
