Preach it, Harriet!

Recently spent some time on the road with "Uncle Tom's Cabin" by Harriet Beecher Stowe. Once I got through the first paragraph of dialect/language in it's challenging-to-understand printed form, I loved it! Though it as been banned and criticized as condescending and racist toward African-Americans, I can't help but wonder if another reason just as notable for those who would want to call for it's censure today was it's strong Christian influence throughout. A quote from p. 158:

"Is is strange then that some tears fall on the pages of his Bible, as he lays it on the cotton bale, and with patient finger, threading his slow way from word to word, traces out its promises? Having learned late in life, Tom was but a slow reader, and passed on laboriously from verse to verse. Fortunate for him was it that the book he was intent on was one which slow reading cannot injure, - nay one whose words, like ingots of gold, seem often to need to be weighed separately, that the mind may take in their priceless value. Let us follow him a moment, as, pointing to each word, and pronouncing each half aloud, he reads, - 'Let - not -your - heart - be - troubled. In - my - Father's - house - are - many - mansions. I - go - to - prepare - a - place - for - you.'"

I "Heart" NYC!

Time off means heading out for my 3rd day in the city. So much to see. Will write soon-fuhgettaboddit!
