The nine bells weigh 5920 pounds and are 76 years old. Every noon at the stroke of 12, Howard Caulfield, a clerk at the postoffice, leaves his job long enought to don a cassock and play hymns for five minutes at the console in the vestibule,

“A small audience always gathers outside to wa e pull the levers,” he said. “It’s a ceremony with me.
