In this volume the author has attempted to record the history of Baptist missionary work from its beginning in South Dakota, and the later progress and growth of the denomination. Only the pioneers in an effort to establish a new and better condition of things, can know the hardships and sacrifices involved in such a movement. From the earliest settlements, harassed by Indian depredations, to the later years of peace and safety from hostile foes, many have had a large exper- ience in enduring the privations and sufferings of pioneer life. To carefully lay the foundations of a new state, and to wisely shape its character and destiny, and thus promote the welfare of generations yet to come, involves a great responsibility. To have a part in such an undertaking is a great honor. That the framers and builders of South Dakota wrought faith- fully and successfully has been clearly shown.
267
THE BAPTIST HISTORY OF SOUTH DAKOTA.
In this foundational work Baptists labored from the beginning, and have ever since borne a large and con- spicuous part. They were more than Baptists. They were busy toilers in constructing the frame work and perfecting the development of a new state, midway between the oceans, on whose broad prairies might be established homes, the abodes of peace and happiness, and schools, the aids to intelligence and culture, and churches, the helpers to piety, and devotion, and loyalty to God.
To those who wrought in these formative years all honor is due. While special mention has been made of the pioneer missionary and the pastor, they had faith- ful co-workers in the multitude of consecrated and earnest laymen in the churches. The leaders in these early religious movements showed remarkable fidelity and zeal, and persevered in the face of many difficulties. But much of the success achieved was due to the earnest devotion and self-sacrificing spirit of many of the wives of missionary pastors. The services that they rendered, though less conspicuous, were none the less worthy of commendation. Their patient endur- ance of hardships and trials, and their fidelity in bear- ing quietly the burdens incident to their position, entitle them to an honored place among the builders of a new civilization in the great northwest. It was the work of such co-laborers, the missionary pastor, and his faithful ally in the home, and the loval helper in the church, that made the Baptist history of South Dakota.
APPENDIX.
Many of the facts mentioned in this volume are famil- iar to those who have borne a part in the founding of a new state, and the establishment of a new civilization in the northwest. But one of the objects contemplated in the preparation of this historical record has been to furnish information to those who shall come after us. This summary of what has been done, and the results accomplished, has been carefully collected from a mul- titude of sources, while they are still available, as a matter of interest to those who are now living, and also that we may "tell it to the generation following."
Future readers of the Baptist history of South Dakota may desire to have some basis of comparison to enable them to estimate the growth and progress of the denomination, from the present time onward to their own point of vision. For this reason, in addition to the statistical tables given in preceding chapters, the following tables of anniversaries of the associations and of the state convention, are here published. The list embraces all of the associations that have existed, representing all nationalities. It includes the Sioux Valley and the James River associations, which were voluntarily disbanded in 1893, and out of which, with the addition of a number of new churches, were formed four new organizations, known as the Sioux Falls, Cen- tral, Northeastern and Northwestern associations:
