It was early in 1899 when Mr. Higgins became a resident of Bemidji.
In connection with the church at Bemidji was a station at Farley, and during the third year a little chapel was erected there.
Jack Worth–that notorious gambler and saloon-keeper of Bemidji–quietly approached Higgins.
The great Father of Waters joins their crystal bodies, and at the point of meeting the little city of Bemidji is built.
At the time of his ordination the Bemidji congregation was building the new church.
