Transcript

The Mutual Broadcasting System in cooperation with Family Theatre Incorporated presents Journey Home, starring Preston Foster and Darryl Hickman. Ruth Hussey is your hostess. More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of. Family Theatre is dedicated to all homes, to all families, but as hostess tonight, I'd like to dedicate this particular program in a special way to the young mothers of America.

mothers of America. I am speaking as just another parent, a young mother, when I say ours is this great honor, the duty of bringing up our children in the knowledge and love of God. The sweetest memory they will have in later life is the remembrance of a happy childhood, a childhood where there is the daily evidence and expression of love. Not only love of parents

for children, but love of parents for one another, and love for God, which is the greatest inspiration we can give our little ones. I feel very happy in making this simple dedication because the future of our homes is secure when we pray together every day, when we pray together as a family and make family prayer a daily practice. No matter what success we

as parents have in other careers, the knowledge that we were good parents, good mothers, is the greatest and most important success story in the world. Ruth Hussey will return later in the program.
