If I have a favorite Bible story, I believe it is the one recorded in John's Gospel of Christ Jesus' healing of the nobleman's son who was ill at Capernaum. We read that the nobleman sought the Master's help, saying, "Sir, come down are my child die." Jesus' reply was, "Go thy way; thy son liveth" (4:49, 50). The beautiful demonstration of God's immediacy there set forth recalls an experience I had soon after becoming seriously interested in Christian Science.

It occurred during World War II, in 1944, when our son was making ready to go overseas. I tried hard to hide my feelings, but my anxiety for his safety grew each day until it was obvious to all those around me. This attitude did not ease the situation for anyone and made it most difficult for our son.
