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
