It was October, 1964, and we had already experienced three years of drought and one year of severe drought. Conditions were desperate, and all available funds had been spent in keeping the cattle alive. For some time I had prayed for our normal, right supply of rain, but with little success. Then I lifted my thought and prayed most earnestly to be shown what more I could do or think to demonstrate the allness of God, good. My prayers were answered that very afternoon.

While reading the Lesson-Sermon in the Christian Science Quarterly, I was shown most clearly. The Lesson-Sermon was on Soul and Body. Two references from the Bible so illumined my thought that I knew I was in God's kingdom. The first reference, from Matthew, told about the lunatic child brought to Jesus to be cured. We read (17:18), "And the child was cured from that very hour." Afterward his disciples asked him, in effect, how it was they could not heal him. Jesus replied (verse 20), "Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you."

The second reference was from John. Jesus, speaking to his disciples, said (14:10): "Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works."
