To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "recognize" in the given context, let's analyze the sentence and the provided candidate senses.

The sentence is: "Says Mr. Baldwin, 'We recognize that we may no longer have as high a priority in church life and experience.'"

Here, "recognize" is used to mean being fully aware or cognizant of a particular fact or situation. The context is about Mr. Baldwin and the Central Council of Church Bell Ringers acknowledging a change in their status or priority within church life.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. Accept someone or something as legitimate or authoritative. This doesn't perfectly fit because the subject is not accepting someone or something as legitimate but rather acknowledging a fact.
2. Be fully aware or cognizant of. This fits well as Mr. Baldwin is stating that they are aware that their priority may have changed.
3. Detect with the senses. This doesn't fit as the context is not about sensory detection.
4. Perceive to be the same. This doesn't apply as there's no comparison being made between two things to identify them as the same.
5. Grant credentials to. This is not relevant as the context is not about giving official recognition or accreditation.
6. Express greetings upon meeting someone. This doesn't fit the context as there's no greeting being exchanged.
7. Express obligation, thanks, or gratitude for. While "recognize" can sometimes be used in this way, the context here is about acknowledging a fact, not expressing gratitude.
8. Exhibit recognition for (an antigen or a substrate). This is a very specific biological context that doesn't apply here.
9. Show approval or appreciation of. The context is not about showing approval or appreciation but rather about acknowledging a reality.

Given the context and the definitions, the best fit is sense 2: "be fully aware or cognizant of," as it accurately describes the usage of "recognize" in the sentence.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "no" in the given context, let's analyze the sentence and the provided candidate senses.

The sentence is: "Says Mr. Baldwin, 'We recognize that we may <t>no</t> longer have as high a priority in church life and experience.'"

1. The first sense (no%4:02:02::) refers to the degree to which a certain quality is present, with examples like "he was no heavier than a child." This sense is used for comparisons and doesn't directly fit the context of the sentence, which is discussing a change or lack of priority over time.

2. The second sense (no%4:02:01::) is defined as "not in any degree or manner; not at all," with an example being "he is no better today." The sentence in question is discussing the possibility of not having as high a priority "in church life and experience" anymore, which aligns with the notion of something not being present to any degree or manner. The phrase "no longer" is a common idiomatic expression meaning "not anymore" or "not now as formerly," which fits this sense.

3. The third sense (no%4:02:00::) is used to express refusal, denial, or disagreement, or to emphasize a negative statement, as in "no, you are wrong." The context provided doesn't directly involve a direct refusal, denial, or disagreement in the form of a standalone "no" but rather as part of the phrase "no longer."

Given the context and the examples, "no longer" is an idiomatic expression indicating something is not the case anymore. The closest fit among the provided senses is the second one, as "no longer" fits the definition of "not in any degree or manner; not at all" when considering the continuation or presence of a state (in this case, having a high priority).

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "no" in the given context is the second sense.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "priority" in the given context, let's analyze the provided information step by step.

1. **Context Analysis**: The sentence where "priority" is used is: "We recognize that we may no longer have as high a priority in church life and experience." This is spoken by Mr. Baldwin, the president of the Central Council of Church Bell Ringers. The context is about the importance or status of bell ringing within church activities.

2. **Understanding the Word "Priority"**: The word "priority" generally refers to something being considered more important than other things or being dealt with first.

3. **Examining the Candidate Senses**:
   - **Sense 1**: `priority%1:26:00::` is defined as "status established in order of importance or urgency." The synonyms given are "precedence" and "precedency." An example is provided: "national independence takes priority over class struggle." This sense aligns with the idea of something being more important or having a higher status than other things.
   - **Sense 2**: `priority%1:07:00::` refers to "preceding in time" with synonyms like "antecedence," "antecedency," "anteriority," "precedence," and "precedency." This definition focuses on the temporal aspect rather than importance.

4. **Applying Context to Candidate Senses**:
   - The context is discussing the importance or status of bell ringing within church life, not the timing or sequence of events. Therefore, the relevant sense should relate to the concept of importance or status.
   - **Sense 1** directly relates to the concept of something having a higher status or being more important, which fits the context. The example given ("national independence takes priority over class struggle") illustrates a similar usage where one thing is considered more important than another.
   - **Sense 2** is more about the temporal precedence, which doesn't directly apply to the context of discussing the importance of bell ringing in church life.

5. **Conclusion**: Based on the context and the definitions provided, **Sense 1** is the most appropriate. It correctly captures the idea of bell ringing having a certain level of importance or status within church life.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "priority" in the given context is the first sense.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "church" in the given context, let's analyze the provided information step by step.

1. **Context Analysis**: The passage discusses the relationship between bell ringing and the church, mentioning vicars, bell ringers, and the Central Council of Church Bell Ringers. It talks about the role of bell ringing in church life and experience.

2. **Understanding the Target**: The target is the word "church" in the sentence: "We recognize that we may no longer have as high a priority in church life and experience."

3. **Examining Candidate Senses**:
   - **1. one of the groups of Christians who have their own beliefs and forms of worship**: This refers to a denomination or a specific Christian sect.
   - **2. a place for public (especially Christian) worship**: This refers to the physical building where worship takes place.
   - **3. a service conducted in a house of worship**: This refers to the act or event of worship.
   - **4. the body of people who attend or belong to a particular local church**: This refers to the community or congregation of a church.

4. **Analysis**:
   - The context is about the role and priority of bell ringing within the broader context of church activities and the community associated with it.
   - The phrase "church life and experience" suggests it is referring to the activities, practices, or the communal aspect of being part of a church, rather than the physical building or a specific service.
   - Sense 1 is too broad and doesn't directly relate to the local or communal aspect emphasized in the passage.
   - Sense 2 is about the physical building, which doesn't fit the context of "life and experience."
   - Sense 3 refers to a service, which is not the best fit because "church life and experience" encompasses more than just a service.
   - Sense 4 refers to the community or congregation, which aligns with the idea of "church life and experience" as it relates to the activities, priorities, and communal aspects within a church.

5. **Conclusion**: The best fit for "church life and experience" is related to the community or the collective activities and practices within a church, which is most closely aligned with **sense_index: 4**, as it refers to the body of people who attend or belong to a particular local church.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "life" in the given context, let's analyze the sentence and the provided candidate senses.

The sentence is: "We recognize that we may no longer have as high a priority in church life and experience."

Here, "church life" refers to the activities, events, and possibly the overall condition or state of being within the church community. The term is related to the way people live, interact, or the mode of living within the context of the church.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. **A characteristic state or mode of living** - This sense fits well as "church life" can be understood as the mode of living or the state of being within the church community.
2. **The experience of being alive; the course of human events and activities** - While related, this sense is broader and not as directly related to "church life" as the first sense.
3. **The course of existence of an individual; the actions and events that occur in living** - This is more about an individual's life rather than a community or organizational aspect like "church life."
4. **The condition of living or the state of being alive** - This is too broad and doesn't directly relate to the organizational or communal aspect.
5. **The period during which something is functional** - This sense is more about duration and functionality, not directly applicable to "church life" in this context.
6. & 7. **The period between birth and the present time** and **the period from the present until death** - Both are too specific to individual timelines.
8. **A living person** - Not relevant to the context.
9. **Animation and energy in action or expression** - While "life" can mean this, it doesn't fit the context of "church life."
10. **Living things collectively** - Not directly relevant.
11. **The organic phenomenon that distinguishes living organisms from nonliving ones** - Too broad and not relevant to the context.
12. **An account of the series of events making up a person's life** - Refers to biography, not relevant.
13. **A motive for living** - Not directly related to "church life."
14. **A prison term lasting as long as the prisoner lives** - Not relevant.

Given the context, the most appropriate sense is the first one: "a characteristic state or mode of living." This is because "church life" refers to the way or mode of living or being within the church, which aligns with this definition.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "life" in the given context is: {"sense_index": 1}

Vicar Marshall admits to mixed feelings about this issue, since he is both a vicar and an active bell-ringer himself. "The sound of bells is a net to draw people into the church, "he says. "I live in hopes that the ringers themselves will be drawn into that fuller life. "The Central Council of Church Bell Ringers, a sort of parliament of ringing groups, aims to improve relations with vicars, says John C. Baldwin, president. It hopes to speak to students at theological colleges about the joys of bell ringing and will shortly publish a booklet for every vicar in the country entitled, "The Bells in Your Care. "Says Mr. Baldwin, "We recognize that we may no longer have as high a priority in church life and <t>experience</t>. "Mr. Baldwin is also attacking the greater problem: lack of ringers.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "experience" in the given context, let's analyze the sentence and the provided candidate senses.

The sentence is: "We recognize that we may no longer have as high a priority in church life and experience."

Here, "experience" is used in conjunction with "church life," suggesting that it refers to the accumulation of knowledge or skill resulting from direct participation in events or activities related to church life.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. The first sense refers to "the accumulation of knowledge or skill that results from direct participation in events or activities." This aligns well with the context, as "church life and experience" could imply the knowledge or skill gained through participating in church activities.

2. The second sense is about "the content of direct observation or participation in an event," which could be a specific event or occurrence. While this could fit in some contexts, it seems less likely here because "church life and experience" is more about a general aspect of church life rather than a specific event.

3. The third sense defines "experience" as "an event as apprehended," which again leans towards a specific event or occurrence. This doesn't seem to fit as well because the phrase "church life and experience" is more about a general state or condition rather than a specific event.

Given the context and the provided definitions, the first sense ("the accumulation of knowledge or skill that results from direct participation in events or activities") is the most appropriate. It fits well with the idea of "church life and experience," suggesting the knowledge or skill gained through participation in church activities.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "experience" in this context is the first one.

raw_output:
To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "problem" in the given context, let's analyze the context and the provided candidate senses.

The context is about the challenges faced by church bell ringing, specifically the lack of ringers and the efforts of the Central Council of Church Bell Ringers to improve relations with vicars and to promote bell ringing. The sentence with the target word is: "Mr. Baldwin is also attacking the greater problem: lack of ringers."

1. The first candidate sense defines "problem" as "a state of difficulty that needs to be resolved." The synonyms given are "job," and the examples include "she and her husband are having problems" and "it is always a job to contact him." This sense aligns with the context because the lack of ringers is presented as a difficulty or challenge that needs to be addressed.

2. The second candidate sense defines "problem" as "a question raised for consideration or solution," with examples related to homework problems to solve. This sense doesn't directly fit the context because the lack of ringers isn't framed as a question to be considered or solved in an academic or puzzle-solving sense.

3. The third candidate sense defines "problem" as "a source of difficulty," with "trouble" as a synonym, and examples like "one trouble after another delayed the job" and "what's the problem?" This sense also fits the context because the lack of ringers is a source of difficulty or trouble for the church bell ringing activity.

Given the context, both the first and third senses seem plausible because they both relate to the idea of a difficulty or challenge. However, the first sense ("a state of difficulty that needs to be resolved") is more specific in implying that the difficulty is something that needs to be addressed or resolved, which aligns well with Mr. Baldwin's actions to attack the problem.

The sentence context indicates that "lack of ringers" is a challenge or difficulty being faced, and it is being actively addressed by Mr. Baldwin. This aligns more closely with the first sense, which emphasizes a state of difficulty needing resolution.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "problem" in this context is the first one.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "survey" in the given context, let's analyze the provided information step by step.

1. **Context Analysis**: The passage discusses the state of bell ringing in churches, mentioning the Central Council of Church Bell Ringers' efforts to improve relations with vicars and address the issue of a lack of ringers. It cites a statistic about the number of trained bellringers in England who still ring.

2. **Target Word Context**: The word "survey" is used in the sentence, "One survey says that of the 100,000 trained bellringers in England today, only 40,000 of them still ring." Here, "survey" refers to a source of information or data regarding the number of trained bellringers and the number of those who are still active.

3. **Candidate Senses Analysis**:
   - **1. sense_key=survey%1:04:02:: | definition=a detailed critical inspection | synonyms=study**: This definition implies a thorough examination or investigation, often with the aim of gathering information. The synonym "study" suggests a systematic and detailed investigation.
   - **2. sense_key=survey%1:10:00:: | definition=short descriptive summary (of events) | synonyms=sketch, resume**: This sense refers to a brief summary or overview, often of events or information. The synonyms "sketch" and "resume" imply a concise presentation of information.
   - **3. sense_key=survey%1:04:01:: | definition=the act of looking or seeing or observing | synonyms=view, sight**: This definition focuses on the act of observing or looking at something. The examples given relate to gaining a visual understanding or perspective.

4. **Choosing the Best Sense**:
   - The context in which "survey" is used implies that it is a source of statistical information or data about bellringers.
   - The first sense, "a detailed critical inspection," fits well because a survey is typically understood as a method of gathering information or data by questioning or observing a sample of people or instances, which aligns with the idea of having data on the number of trained bellringers and those still active.
   - The second sense, "a short descriptive summary," could potentially fit if the survey is being used to summarize information, but it doesn't directly imply the collection of data as the primary purpose.
   - The third sense, "the act of looking or seeing or observing," doesn't directly relate to the context of gathering statistical data or information about bellringers.

Given the context and the definitions, the most appropriate sense is the first one, as it directly relates to the idea of gathering information or data, which is what a survey typically does.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "survey" in this context is **1**.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "says" in the given context, let's analyze the sentence and the provided candidate senses.

The sentence is: "One survey says that of the 100,000 trained bellringers in England today, only 40,000 of them still ring."

Here, "says" is used in the context of a survey reporting or stating a fact or statistic.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. **Express in words**: While "says" does involve expressing something in words, this sense is quite general.
2. **Report or maintain**: This sense fits well because a survey reporting a statistic is essentially maintaining or alleging a fact based on its findings.
3. **Express a supposition**: This doesn't fit well because the survey is not hypothesizing; it's reporting a finding.
4. **Have or contain a certain wording or form**: This could apply in some contexts where "say" refers to the wording of a text, but it doesn't perfectly fit the context of a survey reporting data.
5. **Give instructions to or direct somebody to do something with authority**: This doesn't fit the context; the survey isn't directing anyone to do something.
6. **Speak, pronounce, or utter in a certain way**: This is more about the manner of speaking, which isn't relevant here.
7. **Communicate or express nonverbally**: The survey is communicating verbally through its report, so this doesn't fit.
8. **Utter aloud**: The survey's findings are likely presented in written form, so this isn't the best fit.
9. **State as one's opinion or judgement; declare**: While a survey reports findings, it's based on data, not just opinion.
10. **Recite or repeat a fixed text**: The survey is reporting data, not reciting a fixed text.
11. **Indicate**: This is a possibility, as the survey is indicating a statistic.

Given the context, the best fit is **2. Report or maintain** because the survey is reporting or maintaining a fact based on its data. The synonym "allege" might seem a bit strong for a survey's findings, but "report" or "state" would be appropriate, aligning with the general idea of this sense.

The corresponding sense index for "report or maintain" is **2**.

Therefore, the response is: {"sense_index": 2}

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "today" in the given context, let's analyze the provided information.

The context discusses the current state of bell ringing in England, mentioning the number of trained bellringers and the challenges faced by the Central Council of Church Bell Ringers. The sentence containing "today" is: "One survey says that of the 100,000 trained bellringers in England today, only 40,000 of them still ring."

The two candidate senses for "today" are:
1. the present time or age
2. the day that includes the present moment

Let's examine the context and the examples given for each sense.

1. The first sense refers to "the present time or age" with an example: "the world of today; today we have computers." This sense is about a broader period, not necessarily a specific day. The context talks about the current state of bell ringing, which fits into discussing a general period or era.

2. The second sense is "the day that includes the present moment" with examples like "Today is beautiful; did you see today's newspaper?" This sense is more specific to a particular day.

In the given sentence, "today" is used to describe the current number of trained bellringers in England. While it could be interpreted as referring to the current day, the context suggests it's discussing the current era or time period because it's talking about a statistic (100,000 trained bellringers) that is not likely to change daily.

Therefore, the usage aligns more closely with the first sense, "the present time or age," as it refers to the contemporary era or period.

The best indexed sense for "today" in this context is the first one.

raw_output:
To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "only" in the given context, let's analyze the sentence and the provided candidate senses.

The sentence is: "One survey says that of the 100,000 trained bellringers in England today, only 40,000 of them still ring."

Here, "only" is used to indicate that the number of trained bellringers who still ring is limited or restricted to 40,000 out of 100,000. This usage suggests that "only" is being used to convey exclusivity or a limitation on the quantity.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. "and nothing more" - This doesn't perfectly fit because the sentence isn't saying that 40,000 is all there is to consider about the number of ringers, but rather that it's a limited subset of the total.

2. "without any others being included or involved" - This sense fits well because "only 40,000" implies that out of the total of 100,000, just 40,000 are still ringing, excluding the rest.

3. "with nevertheless the final result" - This doesn't fit the context because the sentence isn't describing a consequence or a result of an action.

4. "in the final outcome" - This doesn't fit because the sentence is stating a fact about the number of bellringers, not discussing the outcome of a situation.

5. "except that" - This doesn't apply because the sentence isn't contrasting two clauses or ideas.

6. "never except when" - This is not relevant as the sentence isn't discussing conditions under which something happens.

7. "as recently as" - This doesn't fit because the sentence isn't discussing the timing of an event.

The use of "only" here is to restrict or limit the number to 40,000, implying that it's a subset of the total 100,000. The synonym that fits this usage is "merely" or "just," but more accurately, it aligns with the sense of exclusivity or limitation.

The best fit is sense 2, "without any others being included or involved," as it aligns with the idea that out of 100,000, the number of ringers is limited to 40,000, exclusively or solely that number.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "still" in the given context, let's analyze the sentence and the provided candidate senses.

The sentence is: "One survey says that of the 100,000 trained bellringers in England today, only 40,000 of them still ring."

Here, "still" is used to indicate that despite the passage of time or other changes, 40,000 out of 100,000 trained bellringers continue to ring bells. The word is indicating continuity or persistence of an action (bell ringing) up to the present.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. "with reference to action or condition; without change, interruption, or cessation" - This definition fits the context as "still" indicates that the action of ringing continues without cessation up to the present.

2. "despite anything to the contrary (usually following a concession)" - The context does not imply a concession; hence, this sense doesn't fit as neatly.

3. "to a greater degree or extent; used with comparisons" - The sentence does not compare degrees; it simply states a fact about the number of bellringers who continue to ring.

4. "without moving or making a sound" - This definition is related to being motionless or silent, which doesn't fit the context of continuing an action.

Given the context and the definitions, the first sense ("with reference to action or condition; without change, interruption, or cessation") is the most appropriate because it correctly captures the idea of an action continuing up to the present.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "still" in the given context is the first one.

raw_output:
To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "always" in the given context, let's analyze the sentence and the provided candidate senses.

The sentence is: "Also, ringers do not always live where the bells need to be rung -- like in small, rural parishes and inner-city churches."

Here, "always" is used to indicate that ringers do not live in the locations where the bells need to be rung on every occasion or without exception. The context suggests that the statement is highlighting an issue where ringers' places of residence do not necessarily coincide with the locations of the bells that need ringing.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. The first sense is defined as "at all times; all the time and on every occasion." The example given is "I will always be there to help you; always arrives on time." This sense implies a universal or absolute frequency.

2. The second sense is "without variation or change, in every case." The synonyms provided are "constantly, invariably," and an example is "he always arrives on time." This suggests a consistent or uniform behavior.

3. The third sense is defined as "without interruption," with synonyms "constantly, forever, perpetually, incessantly." An example is "the world is constantly changing." This implies a continuous action without pause.

4. The fourth sense is "at any time or in any event," with examples "you can always resign if you don't like it; you could always take a day off." This suggests an option or possibility available at any point.

5. The fifth sense is "forever; throughout all time," with examples "we will always be friends; I shall treasure it always." This implies a duration that is endless or perpetual.

In the given context, "always" is used to mean that it is not the case that ringers live where the bells need to be rung on every occasion. The most fitting interpretation is that "always" indicates something that happens or is true "at all times; all the time and on every occasion," which aligns with the first sense.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "always" in this context is the first one.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "live" in the given context, let's analyze the sentence and the provided candidate senses.

The sentence is: "Also, ringers do not always live where the bells need to be rung -- like in small, rural parishes and inner-city churches."

Here, "live" is used in the context of residing or being located in a particular place. The sentence is discussing the issue that bell ringers often do not reside in the areas where their services are needed.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. "inhabit or live in; be an inhabitant of" - This sense matches the context as it relates to residing or being an inhabitant of a place.
2. "lead a certain kind of life; live in a certain style" - This doesn't fit the context because it's about the manner of living, not the location.
3. "continue to live through hardship or adversity" - This sense is not relevant as the sentence is not discussing surviving hardships.
4. "support oneself" - This is also not relevant as the context is not about sustaining oneself financially or otherwise.
5. "have life, be alive" - This doesn't fit because the sentence is not discussing being alive or having life.
6. "have firsthand knowledge of states, situations, emotions, or sensations" - This is not relevant to the context of residing in a location.
7. "pursue a positive and satisfying existence" - This sense is also not relevant as it pertains to the quality of life, not the location of residence.

Given the context and the definitions, the most appropriate sense is the first one: "inhabit or live in; be an inhabitant of." This corresponds to sense_index 1.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "bells" in the given context, let's analyze the provided information step by step.

1. **Context Analysis**: The passage discusses church bell ringing, the Central Council of Church Bell Ringers, and issues related to bell ringing such as the lack of ringers and the priority of bell ringing in church life. It mentions "the bells in your care" and "where the bells need to be rung," indicating that the subject is related to church bells.

2. **Candidate Senses Analysis**:
   - **1. sense_key=bell%1:06:00::**: Definition: a hollow device made of metal that makes a ringing sound when struck. This is a strong candidate because the context is about church bells.
   - **2. sense_key=bell%1:06:02::**: Definition: a push button at an outer door that gives a ringing or buzzing signal when pushed. This doesn't fit the context as the passage is not discussing doorbells.
   - **3. sense_key=bell%1:11:00::**: Definition: the sound of a bell being struck. While this could be related, the passage seems to focus more on the objects (bells) rather than just their sound.
   - **4. to 10.**: Other definitions that are less relevant to the context of church bells and bell ringing.

3. **Choosing the Best Indexed Sense**:
   - The context clearly indicates that "bells" refers to the objects used in church bell ringing.
   - Sense 1 directly corresponds to this interpretation as it defines a "bell" as a hollow metal device that makes a ringing sound when struck, which aligns with the context of church bells.

4. **Conclusion**: The most appropriate sense for "bells" in the given context is the first sense, which corresponds to the definition of a hollow device made of metal that makes a ringing sound when struck.

Therefore, the best indexed sense is: {"sense_index": 1}

raw_output:
To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "need" in the given context, let's analyze the sentence and the provided candidate senses.

The sentence is: "...ringers do not always live where the bells need to be rung..."

Here, "need" is used in the context of requiring an action (bell ringing) to be performed. Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. The first sense is defined as "require as useful, just, or proper" with synonyms like necessitate, require, and involve. The example given is "success usually requires hard work." This sense aligns with the context where "the bells need to be rung" implies that the bells require the action of being rung.

2. The second sense is "have need of" with synonyms like want and require. The example is "This piano wants the attention of a competent tuner." While this sense could potentially fit, it leans more towards lacking something rather than requiring an action to be done.

3. The third sense is "have or feel a need for," which is more about feeling a necessity or desire for something, as seen in "always needing friends and money." This doesn't directly fit the context of requiring an action.

Given the context, "need" is used to indicate that the bells require the action of being rung. This aligns most closely with the first sense, which involves requiring something (in this case, an action) to be done.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "need" in this context is the first one.

Context:
The Central Council of Church Bell Ringers, a sort of parliament of ringing groups, aims to improve relations with vicars, says John C. Baldwin, president. It hopes to speak to students at theological colleges about the joys of bell ringing and will shortly publish a booklet for every vicar in the country entitled, "The Bells in Your Care. "Says Mr. Baldwin, "We recognize that we may no longer have as high a priority in church life and experience. "Mr. Baldwin is also attacking the greater problem: lack of ringers. One survey says that of the 100,000 trained bellringers in England today, only 40,000 of them still ring. Also, ringers do not always live where the bells need to be <t>rung</t> -- like in small, rural parishes and inner-city churches. But the council's program to attract and train ringers is only partly successful, says Mr. Baldwin.
