On account- of their importance In conhectlon with the Divine Service, bells have been solemnly blessed since their first introduction.

re considered as symbolic, messengers from a higher world, calling the faithful not to forget The form prescribed in the Pontifical is entitled "The Blessing of a Bell," though, it is popularly called among Catholics the "Baptism of a Bell," a title by which the office la mantalned as early as tha eleventh century. The Bishop, or priest delegated by him, waslfes tha bell with Blessed Water, annolnts It with the, Oil of the Sick on the outside, at first in silence, then he prays that its tone, like th voice' otGod may ward oft everything injurious as deadly. He 'then makes seven crosses with the same oil on the outside, saying each time, "Blessed and sanctified shall this bell be in the name, of the Father, and of the son and of the' Holy, The seven crosses are typical of the sevenfold souroe of sin and death, against which the bell, sanctified by the seven fold strength of the Holy I Ghost, shall grant assistance to the chrism on the inside It shall call the faithful fronf all parts of the heavens, and Inspire them with' seal' for7 God and His holy word. Under it he places the thurible with Incense and fragrant herbs, td denote the love of God which should Inflame Christian hearts in work as well as in prayer; this is denoted furthermore by the Gospel of St Luke, In which reference Is made to the one thing necessary by Lord when conversing with Martha and Mary. He prays repeatedly that the sound of the bell may avail to summon the faithful and ex cite their devotion, that it may drive away storms and terrify evil spirits; this power, of course, Is due to the blessings and prayers of the church, not to any efficacy superstltious-iy attributed, to the bell Itself, which remark is applicable to "all things dedicated by tho church to God." This ceremony, like all others in the church, is impressive and deep meaning and serveB to show in what high -esteem' should be held all things consecrated.
