TO THE OLD CHURCH BELL .*
Ring on, O bell, with music new ! While worship's pure desire Shall, with thy tones, ascend from hearts Like thee, baptized with fire.
* When the Union Church at West's Mills was burned in ISSI the cast-steel bell was the only thing saved which could be utilized for the new church. This poem, composed by Miss Julia May Williamson, a well-known Franklin County lady, was written on hearing that the old bell had been raised to the belfry of the new church.

HISTORY OF INDUSTRY.
How often has thy warning voice Led pilgrim hearts to prayer ! Ilow often has the burdened soul Ilere found release from care !
We come with joy to dedicate Thy voice anew to God; We come to ask that we may find The way llis saints have trod. But while we join the jubilee Led by thine honored tongue Our eyes are dim for voices hushed That, led by thee, have sung.
For those who stood and sung God's praise In that old house of prayer; For those who listened reverently To the sweet, familiar air. For those gray hairs that lent their crown To the wrinkled brow of age, Now in God's acre finding rest And Ileaven's heritage.
For the young and beautiful and good On whom life's burden pressed; For little children, whose light feet Ilere met the heavenly guest. How great a cloud of witnesses Are standing near us now, Each radiant with Heaven's peace, Pure eyes and sealéd brow.
Ring on, O bell ! and let us hear Enfolded with thy chime The voices of this sainted throng As erst in olden time. Ring on ! and may thy message lead Our wandering hearts above Until we shall become like these Bright messengers of love.
