“The Bells” is a song we hear often during the Christmas season,
yet few of us connect it with the Civil War. The words are a poem
written by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow during the war, a poem that
offered hope in the midst of the tragedy that divided the nation.
I heard the bells on Christmas day.
Their old familiar carols play,
And wild and sweet the words repeat
Of “Peace on earth, good will to men!”
And thought how. as the day had come,
The belfries of all Christendom
Had rolled along the unbroken song,
Of “Peace on earth, good will to men!”
Till ringing, singing on its way,
The world revolved from night to day,
A voice, a chime, a chant sublime
Of “Peace on earth, good will to men!”
Then from each black, accursed mouth
The cannon thundered in the South,
It was as if an earthquake rent
Of “Peace on earth, good will to men!”
pauvaojp sjojcd aq; punos aqj qjun pay
The hearth-stones of a continent,
And made forlorn the households born
Of “Peace on earth, good will to men!”
And in despair I bowed my head;
“There is no peace on earth,” I said,
“For hate is strong and mocks the song
Of peace on earth, good will to men!”
Then pealed the bells more loud and deep;
“God is not dead; nor doth He sleep!
The wrong shall fail, the right prevail,
, With peace on earth, good will to men!”

Former Mayor
(continued from page 1)
Intervenors in the action are the
federal government represented
by Roger Rose, deputy U S. attorn
ey, and attorney Donald MoEwen
acting for M. G. Gebhart, receiv
er of a federal force closure on the
housing project.
Judge Kilkenny indicated a de
cision may be forthcoming on the
case early in 1962.
Rose, in contesting the action by
the plaintiffs, declared that the
alleged agreements are violations
of public policy in that the con
tracts were made to exploit for
profit the positions of public
office held by the plaintiffs
at that time. He also said that sucn
agreements are inconsistant with
government loan documents in that
all government loan money was to
be used only for construction. Be
cause of the latter clause. Rose de
clared that there is no construction
differential between the orgimal
$4,230,000 government loan and a
$4,700,000 payment made when the
government took over mortgages
on the project. As to a share of the
rentals Rose observed that all ren
tals from the project were pledged
as security on the government loan
and therefore could not be assign
ed.
McEwen is acting to protect
Gebhart’s interest in preventing
depletion of the assets of the re
ceivership.
Give a man the right kind of re
ligion and his wife won’t have to
carry the load.
