"Yes," he said, not fully understanding, "we must leave her to Him now. All human efforts are in vain."
"But did not Christ command us to heal the sick? If it were impossible, why would he tell us to do so?"
For a moment he looked at her curiously.
"You are pleading for your Mormon Elders?" he asked gently.
"Yes. Cannot they come? Alma would wish it."
Her eyes, luminous with faith, thrilled him.
"I do not believe very firmly in that kind of healing, but I appreciate your enthusiasm."
"But will you give your permission?" she asked eagerly.
"Why not pray yourself?" he returned.
"Let us take God's way," she replied with sincere humility.
