Neville tells his congregation about a visit from his nephew's two small sons, Roger (two and a half) and his four-year-old brother, whose father is a Marine Corps flyer bound for Thailand. The boys had spent Christmas vacation with Neville's family in Barbados, and on their way back home they stopped for four or five days at Neville's own home. He recounts a morning conversation with Roger about a dream, using the child's easy credulity as an illustration of the total, unquestioning belief he wants his listeners to bring to their own imagining.
