Synopsis

A short, bright portrait of a young lawyer whose faith transforms his life and the Portland community.

In this early sketch from 1859, a rising attorney’s quiet life is upended by a clear, joyful faith. The narrative traces his path from careful study to public testimony, and from private doubt to devoted service. It reads like a pastoral letter meant to inspire and instruct, blending personal testimony with the era’s Christian outlook.



Through intimate letters and public moments, the book offers a window into a man whose conversion reshaped friendships, work, and ambitions. It invites readers to consider how faith, discipline, and community support can shape a life and leave a lasting mark on a town.




  • Meet a young professional wrestling with faith, doubt, and vocation.

  • See how spiritual conviction grows from personal prayer to communal action.

  • Explore early American religious life in a coastal New England city.

  • Discover a quiet, earnest narrative about character, conversion, and public witness.



Ideal for readers interested in 19th‑century religious biography, self‑discovery, and the formative moments that shape a life of service.

Présentation de l'éditeur

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.
