Excerpt from A Silent Peal From the Liberty Bell Are you thinking of all the great, stirring events in which I have played my part? To you they are history, but to me they are memories. Yes, Ican revive my memories for you, but first you must te kindle your belief in the un seen and the unknown. This present age is materialistic and knows only the obvious, the visible and the external. You forget that there is a world within the world, a realm of the spirit, a place of longings, inspiration and en thusiasm, and that the spirits of this unseen world are ever abroad in the land, commun ing with the race of men and moving them to good and noble deeds. Some have lis tened, though what they heard was but a still, small voicewithin themselves or the silent appeal of such objects and symbols as you see about you here. Hark! Are you able to hear these voices? It is well, for now I, the old Liberty Bell, shall share with you my memories.
