ON THIS DAY in MISSIONARY HISTORY

23 May 1891 – Rev. Boston Smith launched the idea of Chapel Rail Cars, 10-feet wide by 60-feet long, which provided churches in remote parts of the Wild West until permanent buildings could be built. It was said that these Chapel Rail Cars did more to tame the Wild West than all the gunmen who dominated Hollywood films.
