A FAITHFUL SEXTON.

John Burritt, who has been sexton
of the Methodist church for so years,
has resigned, the resignation taking
effect the first of the year. For 40
years he received no pay in money,
simply seat in the church for his
wife. During the last decade he re-
ceived 81 SO per month. All through
this long period Of work for the
church, which in former days when
the congregation was large, often fill
ing the editice, and meetings were
numerous, meant much work and con-
slant care, only one who was truly de-
voted to the interests of the church
could have rendered such continued
and unbroken service. Beside this he
has year after year helped pay the ex-
penses of the church and often acted
as collector, going from home to home
raising funds for the society, both for
the running expenses and larger sums
for repairs and Improvements upon
the church property. To-day at 81 he
almost stan DIS alone to represent the
generations with whom he mingled in
the early days of the church and those
who loved and lived for the church in
which they held membership, sacred
to them in every sense, their Christian
home.
