B. Crossley, speaking for the Finance committee in brief but suitable words, made formal presentation of the chimes to the church. He said in part, "For a long time it has been the desire of many members of the church to complete our organ by the addition of a set of chimes, Because of urgency of other improvements on our church building and property the installation of the chimes has been, from time to time postponed but the dream persisted and finally, largely through the generous gift of James Watson, the bells have been installed and I wish now, Mr. Chairman (ad- dressing Mr. W. H. Shellman, chair- man of the Board of Trustees), to present them to the church. Symbol of Joy and Peace Mr. Shellman'responding, said that in the name of the church and as an officer of the Board of Trustees he accepted most .gladly the generous gift and expressed the hope that through many years the chimes might bring joy to the hearts of many wor- shippers. .Mrs. Marie Edwards Von Ritter. church organist, then struck the Westminster chimes and the aud- ience heard for the first time the sweet notes of the bells. It was par- ticularly fitting that the chimes might represent Easter bells in the joyful service of the day. Jflr. Lloyd, the minister of the church, followed with the dedicatory prayer and Mrs. Von Ritter played "Evening Chimes" by Pietro Yon.
