Details Recounted In Letter Received From Rector Who Launched Work Here When Casper Was Village Turning back the pages to the time the first congregation was assembled, a let- ter recently received by the Rev. tor of St. Mark’s Episcopal parish, review the success of the first church building venture here and should prove an! inspiration to congregations that are now engaged in fin- uncing new building programs. The letter comes from the Rey. John E. Sulger, rector of St. Stephen's church at Terre Haute, Ind., who organized the first church here with the assistance ef public spirited citizens. = The time dates back to ploneer days when the Rey. Sulger was arch- deacon of Wyoming and Idaho under Bishop Talbot, and the incidents mentioned in the letter will forever be linked with church history in Casper, “I note in the Churchman that a new St. Mark's church at Casper has been contracted for costing $112,- 000,” says the Rev. Sulger: “As one who planted the original St. Mark's at Casper, I write to offer you my sincere congratulations and felicitations. This will be a notable achievement, and the in- fluenée of such a church, and its Rector, will be of wide ' range throughout Yhat section the country. “I wish that sometime I might be able to see your new -structure. It-would be of great interest to me, When I recall the occasion of my first visit to Casper, and then re- flect what the intervening years have brought to your splendid people there, it seems almost impos- sible, I wonder if you know. the story? It may be of interest to some of your people. It is this: “I had been building a ¢hurch at Neweastle, and, incidentally, over- jooking the construction of a church at Sundance, when I was obliged to go south to Cheyenne. I happened to pick up from a seat in the cars a discarded copy of the Casper “Der- rick," in glancing through which I noticed ‘an appeal by the editor ad- dressed to “any church” to come into Casper and erect a building, promising the united co-operation of the citizens there. I telegraphed him that I would be with him three days later, and to arrange a meeting for the night of my arrival. ‘This pro- gram was carried out, and I was met at the train by Mr. Butler, the then editor of the Derrick, and by Mr. Alec Cunningham, whom I had pre- vfously met at Douglas, Mr. Cun- ningham was in charge, I think, of the Deforrest Richards store. These gentlemen, with others, formed a committee to greet me, and after supper at the little hotel where I was given the bridal quarters; (which were only distinguished from other rooms by having cheap lace curtains at the windows) we-together went to the outskirts of the town to a lttle, old cottonwood log school- house, totally inadequate to accomo- date the crowd. Before beginning the service, the suggestion was made by someone that we should transfer the meeting to the new Court House, which was then being built, but which had not yet been finished. Thither we went. Planks were brought in for geats, and a melodian was borrowed from a bawdy house, and every saloon, as well as other places of business and occupa- tion, closed—and the whole popula- tion came to the court-room. I re- call that I occupied the rostrum with two dogs, one on my right, and the of other on my left. I used leaflets for the service which were distributf} ed containi’ gthe words, also, of some old fr . (lar hymns, like ‘Rock 1 “Nearer My God to -el that in all my ex- perience, 1 have never conducted such a service as we had there! It is something upon which I look back with infinite satisfaction, and as the greatest privilege of my life. At its close, I stated how I happened to be there, and the purpose of my coming. I also made clear that I was there to see whether the citizens were in earnest in desiring to erect church. And that, if so, Bishop Talbot would assist them, und that I could safely pledge him to pay $300.00 on the new building, Mr. Cunningham and others circulated, thereupon, a list to be signed by the people, stating the amount they give, And in the course of a very few minutes, we had. more than enough to cover the cost of the small structure which was the first St. - Mark's.
