rhirinff the Christmas season j you probably heard the bells in your church. You heard the organ played md carols sung. Vou thought of the little child in the manger in the little tovm of Bethlehem. There is something intimate about Christmas, something personal an I, with all its tinsel and noise, something still and small. Bit here is the way it was done in New York, the city I wouldn't want to be in and can't bo without: On the oigh.y-eighth floor of the biggest building in the world, Empire State Building, they had installed the biggest ' carillon ever constructed by man.

Twelve stentor megaphones magnified the notes 100,000 times and ihe volume of sound ranged as high as 120 decibels.

which means that it was twice | p “-

ed this giant praise to the Highest was a Mr.‘ George J. Schulmerich, head of Schulfnerich Eleetronies, Inc., of Sellersville,

as high as the noise in Times Square, the world's noisiest corner, at its noisiest time. And so it was the that "Silent Night, Holy Night," and the other Christmas carols could b« heard for more than sixteen

miles away.

People in Coney Island said they heard the bells distinetly, } and way uptown at the George j Washington Bridge they were as clear as if they were i n the listener's own room. I

I have never been in Sellersvdlle. Pa., and it is so small that I had to look in three different

refprpncc books before' I even found It listed. ' . Sellersville is located in Buck3 j County, where there are a lot of | Quakers. It has a population of j a little more than 2000 and it I is near Truxbauersville and I Quakertown and not very far from another town called Beth-

lehem.

I can picture Sellersville. I^iis of simple folks, little houses with happy families i n them, a plain little Lutheran church, and i ; maybe two of three churches of other denominations. In every one of them there 1 were also bells rung for Christ1 mas, an ) there were carols sung and the organ was played and i neighbors wished one another a I Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I wonder whether Mr, Schul- | merich of Sellersville listened to the Christmas carols played on j the Empire State Building’s i mammoth carillon or to those sung by his own choir in his v>wn little church. And I wonder whether God in his Heaven heard the one any better than the other.
