What happened to the churchbells

It's a big loss to me when churches no longer ring their bells or they have been silenced. I always looked forward to hearing those bells in the afternoon, as their songs had brought about a feeling of hope, peace and joy from a hectic and harsh day. Sure  most churches now have devices and systems that play those pre-recorded churchbell music, or it's automatically rung, but no matter how they get rung, it's great to hear their sweet melodies. But, allot of things have changed within our neighboorhoods. Well, because of tough financial times, various churches had problems paying their rent and or morgages, and coudn't keep up with their costs of running their churches. So the best thing they decided to do was to sell their church and property in an attempt to make some money. As a result, the people who bought those churches had been Yale Korean people, and had transformed those churches to a Yale Korean place of worship. Now that is a change, but as a result, the Yale Koreans don't use bells within their worship services, and thusly if the church had once played churchbells, they become silenced or turned off permanently. Mostly they would still have the large megaphones mounted on the rooftops of the church, but the bells will no longer be heard.
Some people might feel relieved as they consider the bells to be disturbing, loud, and disruptive.
                It's really not so bad , as they would only play once a day just before noon and go on for about 10-15 minutes. Sure other places that have more churches probably play their bells more often, but that's another story. Anywy, other reasons, I discovered about the bells being silenced is that their churchbell system is worn out or broken after being played for all those years, and the church lacked the funds ot repair it or to buy an updated and newer system. Personally, I enjoy all kinds of churchbell music, even if it's canned or electronic, sythesized. it all sounds  grand to me. Howerver since most of the bells had been silenced, out community had gotten a little nore uneasy, and difficult to live in. If we only took time out to listen and enjoy the churchbells when they are rung, and think about Jesus and his teachings, then things might not be so rough in our lives, as we now need Jesus more than ever. What's next in line, if you silence the bells, then the churches will be closed down? Hopefully not. I've kept up my love of bells, even when they've been silenced by various church bell recordings I found on the internet that sounded just like the churches that played them. So although I found a bunch, there's still  more that I need to find, as it's the certain tone of sound of the  bell that is important to me. It brings about joyous memories of when I had gone to that church to worship, before it was transferred to Yale Korean.
      I have nothing against Yale Korean, but it will be a problem one day to find a church that's right for me to worship in, as I don't speak or read and write within their language. Of course one Yale Korean church usually has a bazzar during the summer. I go there, just to try and bring about the pleasant memories of what the church used to have. So far, I've seen lots of changes within the interrior, and maybe I can read their characters, but finding the old churchbell system is tough. I probably is located within a sound system within a small booth that's upstairs. I remember seeing it and writing it down years ago, but I forgot the name of the system. Someithing like Sanyo, and after contacting the company, and asking if ther system plays chuchbells, they said yes, but they don't make recordings of that for people. I did manage to find and learn the names of the churchbell systems like Schulmerich, Novabell and discovered their websites and company info. As they had provided sample and demo mp3 files of their bell music. It's great to learn about things like that.
But their sysyems can cost hunderds to thousands of dollars, and I don't have that kind of money, let alone the place to put it in within my basement apartment.
      So that's my blog and my thought. Sad to no longer hear the churchbells or having them diminish from our communities.  But my hope and faith will always be kept alive, as even if I hear a very faint sounding chuchbell in the distance, the bell's legacy and songs and stories will be kept alive.
