While the christian philanthropist ventures his all in the cause of reformation, and knows not that his eye will ever behold the end, for which he toils, he cherishes a heartfelt assurance, that a reward awaits him above the skies, proportioned to the purity of his motives and the fulness of his sacrifices. This is lire key, which unlocks the mystery as to the readiness, with which multitudes of our race have forsaken the dearest attractions of life, and subjected themselves to labor, peril and suffering. This explains the reasonableness of the holy enterprize, in which Francis Higginson and his associates embarked, not knowing what of earthly experience awaited them. But this they knew, and it was the impulse above all others, that the God whom they trusted and whom they served, would not suffer an iota of their devotedness to him and his cause, though hidden from the eye of human perception in its exercise and result, to be lost in his assignment of their everlasting portion. Connecting the short period of Mr. Higginsons continuance at Naumkcag, with that he passed in his father-land, we will endeavor to follow him by the comparatively small number of points in his history, which the consuming progress of time has left to our vision. He was the son of John Higginson, born 1587. He received his A. B. 1609, at Jesus College, and his A. M. 1613, at St. Johns, both of Cambridge University. We are informed, that he was settled as a strict conformist, with the rites and ceremonies of the national church, about I615, at Claybrooke, one of the parishes in Leicester.
