Higgins, a Man's Christian

What this book contains was learned by the writer in the course of two visits with Mr. Higgins in the Minnesota woodsone in the lumber-camps and lumber-towns at midwinter, and again at the time of the drive. Upon both occasions Mr. Higgins was accompanied by his devoted and admirable friend, the Rev. Thomas D. Whittles, to whose suggestions and leading he responded with many a tale of his experiences, some of which are here related. Mr. Whittles was at the same time good enough to permit the writer to draw whatever information might seem necessary from a more extended description of Mr. Higginss work, called The Lumber-jacks Sky Pilot, which he had written. Twenty thousand of the thirty thousand lumber-jacks and river-pigs of the Minnesota woods are hilariously in pursuit of their own ruin for lack of something better to do in town. They are not nice, enlightened men, of course; the debauch is the traditional diversionthe theme 2 of all the brave tales to which the youngsters of the bunk-houses listen in the lantern-light and dwell upon after dark. The lumber-jacks proceed thusbeing fellows of big strength in every physical wayto the uttermost of filth and savagery and fellowship with every abomination. It is done with shouting and laughter and that large good-humor which is bedfellow with the bloodiest brawling, and it has for a bit, no doubt, its amiable aspect; but the merry shouters are presently become like Jimmie the Beast, that low, notorious brute, who, emerging drunk and hungry from a Deer River saloon, robbed a bulldog of his bone and gnawed it himselfor like Damned Soul Jenkins, who goes moaning into the forest, after the spree in town, 3 conceiving himself condemned to roast forever in hell, without hope, nor even the ease which his mothers prayers might win from a compassionate God. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
