PERsoSAL-The Rutland Herald says II is
somewhat surprising that DR.. Lord, who has been
preaching nearly thirty years in Montpelier,
should never until yesterday have been heard in
Rutland pulpit The announcement that he
would preach in the Congregational Church yes
terday attracted large audience in the morning,
and, for these times, large audience in the even
ing, who listened with great pleasure to his ele-
giant discourse. If the Doctor preachcs thirty
years longer in Vermont we hope that the Rut-
land people will be favored with his ministrations
in the pulpit again. And no one would object to
his coming here for that purpose as many as
twenty or thirty times in the next thirty years.
