Mr. Powers held decided theological views. He had little patience with the Arminian- ism of Methodists, and his ministry was marked by theological controversies which were not wholly fortunate. George Woodward, the lawyer, and his wife, Elizabeth Hallam Woodward, were among others excommunicated for their repudiation of Calvinistic orthodoxy. His pastorate was on the whole successful, and he left the impress of a strong mind and character on the church. During his ministry 119 persons were added to the membership, 98 by profession and 21 by letter. There were but 12 members in 1814, and in 1829 there were 93. There had been 35 baptisms of adults, and 156 of infants, and 12 excommunications.
Several of his ordination and installation sermons were published. Other publications were: "An Essay on the Influence of the Imagination on the Nervous System, Contrib- uting to False Hopes in Religion," 1828; Centennial Address, Hollis, 1830; Centennial Address, Goshen, Conn., 1838; History of the Settlement of the Coos County, 1841.
