At the Southern Baptist Convention's Home Missions Week in Glorieta, New Mexico, some 2,200 attendees heard Nixon's resignation speech and then knelt in prayer for Nixon, Ford, and the nation.

The troubles facing Ford as he assumed office were many. High on the list were inflation, lingering bitterness over Watergate, a shaky Mideast peace, and the crisis in Cyprus. But his congressional prayer colleagues are convinced that President Ford will meet those problems as he has met many others—in prayer and with a quiet faith.
