BAKER WESTON,
he Venerable Janitor, Com

His Resignation Made to the South
Parish Society.

OF His Life.

In looking upon the venerable form
OF Mr.. Baker Weston, who for so many
years has been the janitor of the South
Parish Congregational church as we'll
as the bell ringer of the city of Angus
Ia, one can not help thinking of the
sexton in that time worn poem, en-
titled THE Ringing of the Curfew. "
IN that old English poem the stanzas
which are marked indelibly upon the
minds of thousands who in their school
days heard it recited and read, and re-
cfted again. one can almost see the
aged sexton with bowed head, sad and
thoughtful, and with slow steps. An
other part of that poem that applies
well to Mr.. Weston's case is the stanza
where he tells the girl:
Il have done my duty ever, tried to do it
Just and right:
Now | am old / still must do it, Curfew
must be rung tonight

janitor Of the Congregational church,
