This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Nathaniel Judson Burton was an American Congregational clergyman. He is remembered as one of the leading preachers of New England.
Background
Nathaniel Judson Burton was born on December 17, 1824 and came of old Connecticut stock, his family having settled in that state in the seventeenth century, and was born in Trumbull, Connecticut, the son of the Rev. Henry and Betsy (Porter) Burton.
Career
Nathaniel Burton prepared for college at Wilbraham Academy, a Methodist school in Wilbraham, Massachussets, and graduated from Wesleyan University in 1850. After a year of teaching in Newark, New Jersey, he entered the Yale Divinity School, from which he graduated in 1854.
On July 20, 1853, he was ordained and made pastor of the Second Congregational Church of Fairhaven, Connecticut, now Pilgrim Church, New Haven.
In October 1857 he became pastor of the Fourth Congregational Church, Hartford, Connecticut, and in March 1870 succeeded Horace Bushnell as pastor of Park Church, Hartford, where he remained until his death.
In 1884 he delivered the Lyman Beecher Lectures at Yale, and in the two following years was a special lecturer at the Yale Divinity School. From 1882 until his death he was a member of the Yale Corporation.
He never said or did anything in order to attract attention, was careless with respect to perpetuating his influence, and was strongly disinclined to publish. Letters on his travels in Europe were printed in the Hartford Evening Post in 1868 and 1869.
Extracts from these, his lectures at Yale, and some of his sermons and addresses were published by his son, Richard E. Burton, under the title, Yale Lectures on Preaching, and Other Writings by Nathaniel J. Burton, D. D. in 1888.
Achievements
During his thirty years' residence in Hartford, Nathaniel Burton became known as one of the leading preachers of New England. His lectures were republished in 1925 with the title In Pulpit and Parish. They are written in an attractive literary style, and their content, the result both of keen thought and of long experience, is of permanent value.
On July 20, 1853, Burton was ordained and made pastor of the Second Congregational Church of Fairhaven, Connecticut, now Pilgrim Church, New Haven.
Views
Nathaniel Burton resembled Bushnell in his originality of thought and his poetic imagination. He was a man of broad culture, fine social qualities, practical common sense, and engaging humor.
Quotations:
As a boy he shared the fortunes of an itinerant Methodist preacher, and in one of his lectures he speaks of the period as one when "my clothes were not as expensive as I would have liked, and my spending money was limited, and when my father had offers from well-to-do childless women to adopt me for their own.
