“Old North Church,” Boston, still stands on the original ground where it was erected in 1723. From “the highest window in the wall” the sexton hung the warning lights. The face of the tower bears a tablet to the memory of the dauntless and resourceful Messenger of Liberty.
“Through the gloom and the light
The Fate of a nation was riding that night;
And the spark struck out by that steed, in his flight
Kindled the land into flame with its heat.”
