From the Windsor Journal the Moni-
tor copies the following: The parish
toner's of the local Methodist church
will be grieved to learn that their
pastor. Rev. w. G. Johnson, has decid-
ed to abandon his pastorate and move
to the town Of Derby. where he hopes
to regain his health by a complete
rest from the responsibility which has
been his in the Vermont conference
for many years. Rev. Mr.. Johnson
has been in Windsor for the past three
and one-half years and during that
time has made many friends by his
kindly and cheerful manner. For some
in the northern part of the state, be-
lieving that change would help him.
He has been benefited. but on the ad-
vice of his physician will not attempt
to do the work of a settled pastor until
he has rested for year. We shall all
miss Pastor Johnson, for real shep-
herd he is in every sense of the word
"a good man who lives what he
breaches.
