The St. Paul Lutheran Church Bell at Wallis, Texas

Our church Bell which we ring each Sunday was cast at the Henry Stuckstede Bell Foundry Co. at St Louis MO in 1913 (bell is marked HY STUCKSTEDE BELL FDY CO   ST LOUIS MO   1913)

The German inscription on the bell reads:

“GOTTES WORT UND LUTHERS LEHR VERGEHT NUN UND NIMMER MEHR”

Pastor Houppert translated:

“God’s Word and Luther’s teaching will never be lost nor forgotten”
