The Ferron Church and associated manse are representative of the historically significant activity missionary of the in predominantly Mormon regions of Utah. Since the primary emphasis of Presbyterians the Presbyterian missionary effort was their educational programs, the buildings are also representative of the important influence the non-Morm- church programs had upon the development of public education in the state. Although the architect of these buildings is unknown, the church is undoubtedly one of the best examples of Late Gothic Revival architecture in this portion of the state. The Presbyterian denomination has traditionally placed heavy emphasis upon missionary activity. Presbyterian missionary work in Utah dates back to June 13, 1869, when Reverend Melanchton Hughs preached his first service in Corinne, Utah. The period from 1869 to 1883 is seen as a time of remarkable expansion for the Presbyterians in Utah. An examination of the Presbyterian Churchs attitude toward Mormonism does much to explain the high priority placed on missionary activity in Utah. A 1905 Presbyterian book identified Mormonism as Satans crowning invention in the nineteenth century and stated: Ecclesiastically, Mormonism is 5Z23E33S522!!E3SS IN CASTLE DALE celebrating their Anniversary with Outstanding $avings on Footwear for the Whole Family Women's Dress & Casual Shoes Reg. to $28 W in . .(and finally) Politically Mormonism is a grave peril to any government under which it exists. . . .Like a huge octopus the Mormon hierarchy is fastening its tentacles throughout the Rocky Mountain states and is sapping from its devotees the very life-bloo- d of American freedom. the time, the authorship of the "Book of Mormon was attributed primarily to Solomon Spaulding who was, interestingly enough, a At Presbyterian minister. Given circumstances, it is understandable that the call for missionary workers would be impassioned and urgent: Utah appeals with peculiar pathos to all interested in Christian missions. It is an ideal mission field. The people are there by the thousands. They are in ignorance, these in superstition, and in irreligion. They are easily accessible in great numbers. No new tongue must be learned to preach the gospel to them. Their own best interests as well as those of our homes, of society, of our land, and of our church, demand their reclaim from the degrading superstitions of Mormonism. Can we resist such an appeal? Let us not even try; but rather in the spirit of the master let us be willing to spend and be spent in winning the souls of these deluded thousands to his cross and his crown. The most effective and ex- tensively utilized Presbyterian method was the establishment of church schools, proselytization especially for elementary age children. When the Presbyterians began their missionary work in Utah, public education was very limited. The schools established by the and other Protestant churches as well as by the Catholics were the only alternatives to L.D.S. operated or oriented schools. The Ferron mission is notable because it was one of the few church and school complexes built 3 ex- Local sources indicate that Presbyterian missionaries came to the Ferron area about the turn of the century and that church services and elementary school classes were held in a two story frame building which no longer exists. On Feb. 15, 1908, the First Presbyterian Church of Ferron purchased two lots of land for the construction of a church building and a manse (clergymans residence). On March 28, 1908, the Emery County Progress announced: . . 1869-188- pansion period and because it was built in an area where a public educational system was already established. is Mormonism logically, made up of most singular congeries of dogmas and absurdities. .Socially, Mormonism is a dark blot upon Christian civilization Utah after the excavation for the new building has been completed and almost sufficient wall is on the rock for a ground. The building will be 51 x 60, with two stories and will accommodate church, school and academy, as well as provide for reading room, gymnasium and other school features. It is hoped that the building will be ready for occupancy early in September. But hopes that the church would be completed later that year were soon dashed. Shortage of funding The Presbyterian dictated that the construction proceed at a slower pace than was originally planned. In 1910, the land the church was being built upon was mortgaged to the Board of the Church Erection Fund for $1,000 to help finance the completion of the building. By March of 1911, at least part of the building was ready for occupation. The church and school remained in operation until 1942, at which time the building was deeded over to the Ferron American Legion Post. During its 30 year life as a mission, the Presbyterian Church building provided not only religious services, but also elementary schooling for grades 8, Presbyterians If students wished to continue in the Presbyterian educational system, they could attend high school at Wasatch Academy at Mount Pleasant and college at Westminster College in Salt Lake City.
