| Summary | "The Black Forge Mills: or, Up the King's Highway" by William P. Chipman is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Ralph Carleton, a pastor who seeks to connect with the working-class community at the Black Forge Mills and addresses the struggles of the miners and their families, particularly through the character of Ray Branford, a young boy caught between the influences of his challenging upbringing and his desire for a better life. At the start of the novel, Ralph Carleton is introduced as a thoughtful pastor who finds solace in nature while contemplating his sermons. During a walk, he observes the Black Forge Woolen Mills, which have become a metaphor for the struggles and moral darkness faced by the workers inside. Through interactions with the local children, including the mischief-maker Ray Branford, it becomes clear that the community is in desperate need of spiritual support and guidance. Ray is a central figure, illustrating both the innocence and potential of youth amidst adversity as he navigates a world filled with hardship, peer pressure, and challenges related to his family's struggles. As Carleton recognizes the urgent calling to minister to this community, the stage is set for themes of redemption, faith, and the transformative power of compassion through their unfolding stories.
