[Photograph 2012.201.OVZ001.10098]

Photograph used for a story in the Oklahoma City Times newspaper. Caption: "A king sacrifices his jeweled crown on the altar of a great cathederal, but his gift is not sufficient to set the magic, high-towered bells a-ringing. An artist places his finest work on the holy table; musician his rare violin; a rich man brings a full basket of gold; a knight surrenders his sword. None of these touch-off the chimes. A disappointed crowd prepares to leave then a ragged boy slips up and leaves a single coin. The electrified worshippers stare at the altar to see what great gift has at last awakened the long-silent bells. Cityans have an invitation this year to become part of that cathedral crowd and relive one of the best loved stories if Christmas - "Why the Chimes Rang."......Grandness of the new church will lend reality to the story of "the wonderful church in a far away country" and its magnificent "chime of bells." (photo tag: Little brother, portayed by Jim Robson, stands transfixed after his coin touches off the enchanted chimes.)"
