Excerpt from New Leaf Mills: A ChronicleThe opinions of Owen Powell marked a sharp dif ference between him and most of his fellow-townsmen in the town of the Middle West, where he lived sixty years ago. A man who condemned the recent war upon Mexico as a wicked crusade for the extension of slavery, and denounced the newly enacted Fugitive Slave Law as infernal, would have done well to have a confession of spiritual faith like that of his neighbors; but here Owen Powell was still more widely at variance with them. He rejected the notion of a personal devil, and many others did that; but his hell was wholly at odds with the hell popularly accepted; it was not a place of torment where the lost sinner was sent, but a state which the transgressor himself chose and where he abode everlastingly bereft of the sense of better things. Even so poor a hell saved Powell from the reproach of Universalism; but in a person so one-ideaed, as peo ple then said, through his abhorrence of slavery, it was not enough. He was valued, but he was valued in spite of his Opinions; they were distinctly a fact to his dis advantage in that day and place.His younger brother Felix, after the wont of prosper ous merchants, kept out of politics, and he carried his prayer-book every Sunday to the Episcopal service.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
