NEW PRESTON.
AT THE VILLAGE CHURCH.

We enjoyed here, last Sunday, the preaching of man, we are told, from Massachusetts, one who possessed mind attuned to beauty and inclined to the poetlcal side of nature. Like Shaks- peare, he could see "Books in the rum ming brooks, sermons in stones and good in everything" He gave us in the morn ing most elevating discourse from the narrative of Moses and the burning bush, and his application to the world at the present day was most apt and encourag- ing and he made 1t most appropriate for
 this season of the year. We should be much pleased to hear the same preacher again. Our idea of church going is that
 it should tend to elevate and raise our
 thoughts st times to higher plane. The
 man who does it accomplishes one of the
 necessary requirements and benefits of
 the true church. This man seemed to carry out this idea as we'll as any man
 we have heard here this year and we truly hope he will come again.
