520			_a"Higgins, a Man's Christian" by Norman Duncan is a novel written in the early 20th century. Set in the rugged Minnesota woods among the lumber-jacks, the book explores the life and ministry of the Rev. Francis Edmund Higgins, a Presbyterian minister who dedicates his life to guiding these rough and often troubled men away from the destructive influences of their surroundings. The narrative highlights themes of faith, redemption, and the struggle between vice and virtue in an environment steeped in hard labor and vice. In the story, Higgins emerges as a benevolent figure, lovingly referred to as the "Pilot" by the lumber-jacks, who confide in him and respect his guidance. The novel recounts his various ministerial activities, from preaching in bunkhouses to rescuing intoxicated men from the perilous depths of a saloon's snake-room. Through his physical presence and moral courage, Higgins confronts gambling, alcoholism, and moral decay, all while exemplifying a rugged, hands-on Christianity. His interactions with the men reveal their struggles and vulnerabilities and culminate in moments of tenderness as he helps them confront their demons. The story emphasizes the importance of community and compassion while showcasing Higgins's unwavering commitment to his calling, making the book a profound reflection on faith amidst adversity.
