First Dodge City Church In 1877 f . ... I

By LOUIS CASSELS United Press International One hot summer day in 1877, the train from the east pulled into Dodge City< Kan., bearing a small, dignified man in top hat and tailcoat. He attracted curious looks and a few snickers as he climbed down from the dusty railroad coach, claimed his valise, and made his way through a crowd of roughly dressed cowpokes to the hotel on Front Street. If the onlookers had known who he was, and why he came to Dodge City, they wouldn't have snickered. They’d have laughed out loud. Dodge City in those days was proud of its reputation as “the wickedest town in the West.” And it fully deserved the title. Front Street was about as wide open as a street can get. The saloons stayed open all night, and the houses of prostitution did a booming business. Any cattleman who got tired of liquor and sex could find a high-stakes poker game to keep him amused. Gun fights and wanton killings were almost as common, in actual fact, as TV Westerns would have you believe. The one thing that Dodge City didn’t have — and didn’t want—was a church. Ministers Left Quickly Several itinerant preachers had ventured into the “Babylon of the West” but all of them had left precipitately, at the invitation of the townfolk. The little man in the top hat may have thought of all this when he boldly signed his name in the hotel register: “The Reverend Ormond W. Wright.” .—_ The Rev. Mr. Wright was a field representative of the Presbyterian Board of Home Missions in New York. He had not come to Dodge City to conduct a few preaching services and flee for his life. His audacious purpose was to plant the cross of Christ firmly and conspicuously in this citadel of Satan. He had come, in short, to build a church. The incredible fact is that he did it. He even managed, in time, to make deacons out of Bat Masterson and Wyatt Earp. - i/Why Ws * man succeeded where others had failed remains a historical mystery,” said Presbyterian Life magazine this week, in an article paying overdue tribute to the little-known preacher. Actually, it's not such a mystery. Old histories of Dodge City 4tocord an incident which took place shortly after the Rev. Mr. Wright’s arrival, which made a tremendous impression on the

gun-toting cowboys and the women who entertained them. A prostitute had been killed by ' a stray bullet during a saloon brawl. A delegation of dismayed [ and drunken cowboys went to the • preacher’s hotel room and awak-„ ened him with loud knocking on' I the door. They told him what had I happened, and asked him to give I the luckless girl “Christian bur- [ ial.” Performed Funeral Service 1 In those strait-laced days, most ministers would have huffily re- , jected such a request. But the , Rev. Mr. Wright did not. He per- , formed the funeral service, readi ing over the girl’s grave the Gospel account of Christ’s tenderness toward a woman taken in adulti ery. ■ This act of compassion seems to have established a rapport be- . tween the prim-looking little ’ preacher and the rough men and [ women whom he had come to t serve. The Rev. Mr. Wright soon [ began to hold religious services , in whatever quarters were avail- . able to him — usually a saloon , or dance hall. He was able to I tell the Presbyterian Board of Home Missions, in his first offii cial report, that he had 13 regular members of his congregation. , The board sent word that it . would contribute $450 —a whopping sum in those days —for the construction of a church building, provided the local resi1 dents would raise a matching j sum. It was taken for granted in t New York that it would take the f Rev. Mr. Wright a year or two to obtain his half of the building t fund. s But the word got around Front I 5 Street that Preacher Wright need- j ed $450 to build a church. The hat was passed in the saloons and • bawdy houses, and on one roaring Saturday night, the whole . sum was contributed, with a few dollars to spare. . And that’s how Dodge City got , its first church. i ’ Commendation Medal t To Major Griffith ’ ELLSWORTH AFB, S.D. — MaI jor Clarence W.
