The following experience proved to me that the one Mind governs. Our son was a navigator on an airplane during World War II. At two thirty o'clock in the morning of February 22, 1944, I awakened with thoughts of our son. From reading Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy, I had gained some understanding of Truth. I immediately declared that man is in God's hands and that nothing can harm him, for divine Love is around, beneath, and above him. I soon had that wonderful sense of peace "which passeth all understanding" (Phil. 4:7) and knew all was well.

I later learned that at this very same time our son had had to bail out of his plane, as it had been hit by flak and was on fire. When he jumped from the plane and pulled the ripcord of his parachute, the ripcord broke, and the parachute failed to open. Fortunately, his parachute was of the chest-pack type, and he clawed at it until it was released.

About three weeks later, when we received a telegram saying he was missing, I was able to declare, "God's child cannot be missing, for he cannot be separated from God." I read the Bible until one thirty in the morning. When I read the words (Ps. 46:10), "Be still, and know that I am God," again I knew that all was well, and I clung to that thought. At the end of the war we received another telegram saying our son was safe. I am very grateful for the prayers and encouragement of a practitioner who had been working for him during this experience.
