The doctrine of full salvation was to invade the precincts of sin-you-must religion.
But where was Evangelist Blank to preach?
Not in Mount Olivet, to be sure.

About a quarter of a mile from Mount Olivet Church was a section of land known in that country as Public Land.

Here in the center of an old, unused, unfenced field was a thick clump of post oak sapplings, with heavy foliage.

This spot was to be the scene of many an interesting happening, a few of which shall be mentioned before this story closes and many of which shall not.

As soon as Jake was sufficiently recovered from the beating administered by the Deacon, he, in company with Nolan Gray and several others who were either friends or embracers of the doctrine of full salvation, went to this spot and worked for a number of days building a brush arbor, which was to serve the purpose of a meeting-house.
