The Voice of Tinker Jones

Laura is the Boss. She tells Mary "We're going stay and see it" when Mary wants to leave because " it is getting awful late." Who's the big sister?

How did Tinker get that bell up there by himself. He's amazing. I love his spirit.

This episode is good and its also on my favorite list of episode of season 1. This episode is pretty serious and for the first time we see the town arguing.We also see what can happen when a Small town like this start to bicker and fight it can mean the closing of the whole town its very dangerous. This episode also introduces a new character Mr.Kennedy SAM and Christie's father.The episode is about the Reverend telling the town that he would like to have a church bell everyone was for the idea until Mrs Olson had to step in again. She told the reverend that she and her husband would pay for the whole thing and that she would donate the plague.That's where the fight started bc no one ever putted their name on anything that they had build or gave to the town. And right there people start to choose sides and its here where things become dangerous. This episode is good and once again have a good lesson to it go give it a look this episode is perfect!!!! Now continue to episode 12

This episode is an excellent example of how a church can split in half over the silliest things. In my church, it was chairs vs. pews. In this one, it was who provides the bell. One thing leads to another, and soon there's an all-out war. Unfortunately there is only one church in the town of Walnut grove. So, either you go to that church or you don't go at all.

Eventually, the Ingalls family were the only ones who still came. The children even started fighting among themselves. Then help came from a very unexpected source.

This is the only episode we ever see Tinker Bell in, which is unfortunate because I think his character was a great asset. He cannot say a word, yet his heart causes everyone he sees to like him. Sometimes, the only way to fix a problem is to just do it. How many times do we learn that the hard way?

The children, even Nellie and Willie, help Tinker to make the bell. They are all excited, anticipating having their families back together. Not only do they help Tinker Bell, but they give him their own toys so they can bring peace in their town once more.

The ending is heart-warming. My heart swells every time I watch it. Gone is the anger and hurt feelings. You can't help but to be moved at what the children did. The subject of this episode makes this one of my favorites in Season 1.

This is a beautiful episode with Tinker and the children. However, it also illustrates as almost every episode does what a pot-stirrer Harriet Oleson is. And Reverend Alden runs a close second a lot of times - the Bully Brothers (?) comes to mind. Paraphrasing Charles's words, "The Reverend's got a war on his hands." All over a stupid bell! The story of Tinker and the children is beautiful, though.
