Rain on the Mesa. Baptist Evans worked out his plan with King and two Presbyterian missionaries from New Mexico, the Rev. Ralph Hall and the Rev. Roger Sherman. Says Evans of their first planning session: "We spent half that morning on our knees, praying to God for the wisdom we needed. When we got up off our knees, we knew where we were going...
...months later, 128 ranch folk went up to the top of Nogal Mesa, a high (7,000 ft.) tableland in Lincoln National Forest, for their first camp meeting. A violent rain storm, which came up soon after the services started, almost swept the meeting away. But the ranchers liked the camp-meeting idea. Joe Evans and his Presbyterian friends decided to hold a meeting every year at Nogal Mesa-and to spread to other states. Since then they have set up similar meetings in Arizona, Texas, Colorado, Wyoming and South Dakota. Each summer, in two trucks containing tents, hymnbooks...

Four times a day they filled the rough pine tabernacle (which ranchers built themselves two years ago) to pray and listen to Brother Hoyt Boles, a hefty, plain-spoken Presbyterian from Denton, Texas, and Brother Bob Goodrich, a Methodist from Dallas.

"Then," says Arthur Morton, "our prayers were answered." Reading of the Mortons' journey in a Los Angeles newspaper, an elderly Pasadena woman persuaded Brain Specialist William T. Grant to examine the boy, guaranteed hospital and medical expenses. She too had had what doctors called a "hopeless" subdural hydroma, and had been cured of it by surgery...
