THE FRONTIER, O’Neill, Nebnutk*, ThurvUy, November 15, IMS Rural Church's In Pioneer Holt County Days Described By Mm. Merrill Anderson Few institutions or establish ments have in the history of our nation did so much to fortify our constitution as has the rural church. The seed was sown with the landing of the Pilgrims in 1620, and being well nourished, the foundation of a Christian America began to sprout. Although religion was not the only motive that prompted many to come to our shores in colonial days it was the principal reason. They wanted freedom to worship God as they chose. Religion was indeed the most important thing in life to our stem Pilgrim fore fathers. A colonial church was a sort of community center. The Sabbath ran from six o’clock Saturday evening to six Sunday evening. The services were long. A prayer might be one hour long; then a two or three hour sermon might follow. The church building was not heated, even in the coldest wea ther. The women and children carried heated stones and foot stoves to church to keep warm. The family pew partitioned off from others with room for the whole family was a pecular fea ture of the colonial church. Most revival meetings were a very emotional affair. Ruffians of ten tried to break up the meet ings but they found the preach er could use his fists as well as his voice. Peter Cartwright of Ohio was one of the notable re vivalist at that time. The unsettled West provided lit tle opportunity for religious wor ship and families were scattered, times were hard so they had lit tle time to think about religion. Yet, religion followed them. The circuit riders, who traveled horseback from place to place on a regular schedule, came to them at intervals. They were often rough, uneducated men but most of them sincere and their preach ing did wonders toward sowing the seed of righteousness in the territorial west. Besides bringing the gospel the circuit riders serv ed as traveling newsmen, bring ing news from other parts of the vast region, making them wel come visitors in most of the frontier homes. A death among the frontier people provoked a disturbing sit uation. There being no funeral homes, no doctor nor preacher, sickness and death just took its course. It is said, when Abraham Lincoln's mother died, there was no one to conduct the funeral services. Some weeks later after she was buried, a traveling preacher came and Lincoln In duced him to conduct a funeral over the closed grave. Religion was moving west. People began to organize and build places of worship The mis sionary spirit grew up with the church. A quiet prayer- meeting held in 1806 by the side of a hay stack near Williams College in Massachusetts was the beginning of American foreign missions. Nebraska’s first missionary was the Rev. Moses P. Merrill, who with Mrs. Merrill and two help ers arrived in Bellevue, Nov. 7, 1883. Rev. Merrill had been sent to establish a mission at the In dian agency at Bellevue, Mrs. Merrill opened an Indian school for Indian children. Missionary groups are today ac tive in most of our Protestant churches. Holt County has a num ber of pioneer churches still in operation. While like the rural postoffice and the country store, the rural churches have dwindled yet there are many that continue to keep their doors open and have regular services. Still holding on in this area are the Cleveland Presbyterian church near Stuart, Paddock Un ion, Dorsey Presbyterian and the Center Union in the O’Neill area, all have been in session for over a half-century. The Center union church northwest of O’Neill was or ganized by Missionary E. E. Dillon in 1903. Meetings were held in rural schools until 1905 when the chapel was built. J. K. Ernst, an early pioneer was the first Sunday School superin tendeni. In 1916 the building was en larged on the east side which is used for a platform and pulpit. This summer an addition was built on the south which serves as an entrance and Sunday school room. The church, which is mission ary minded, claims three mission aries at the present time. Del bert Dick, American Sunday School Missionary in Wyoming; Irene Searles in Thailand and Lorraine Ernst who just recently returned on leave from serving as a missionary in the Congo. September 1-2 this year, the church observed its fifty-seventh I PRE-HOLIDAY SALE Come Early!
