520 |a The Reverend Oscar Elmer's home missionary work in Sauk Centre, Minnesota, 1869—1871, was deemed a failure because his assigned congregations did not grow.

But Elmer's situation became a node of conflict for denominational politics in the Presbyterian Church, and economic forces governing railroad-building and settlement patterns in Minnesota. Exacerbated by ambivalent reinforcement from support networks and the phenomenon of “overchurching," these conditions made Elmer's failure in Sauk Centre unavoidable.
