Family Theater: Song for a Long Road

The mutual broadcasting system in cooperation with Family Theater Incorporated presents Song for a long road, starring William Holden, Brunder Marshall and Marvin Miller. Jean-Lakart is your host. More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of.

Did you ever stop to think how important a family is? Did you ever stop to think what would happen to our country if the family life of this nation should cease to exist. I'm sure most of us can look back to our good father and mother.

We learned the meaning of sacrifice from them. We learned the meaning of courage and patience and fidelity. Our fathers and mothers were old-fashioned, so they say. Our mothers brought us up at their knees. Our fathers brought us up sometimes over their knees.

They taught us decency, respect. They gave us ideals. They did all this because they were God fearing people, our parents. They were prayerful. Well, we still need decency and respect. We still need patience and sacrifice.

Above all, we need fidelity. Fidelity to each other, to our country and to God. Those are the ideals which made our country great. And those are the ideals which can keep our country great. That's why we say we need prayerful families.

Pray as a family You'll find that prayer will bring peace and happiness to your home Yes, a world of prayerful homes would indeed be a peaceful and happy world This is the way the story should begin Aline are you listening? Yes, I'm listening Aline will you marry me? I most certainly will not

Oh, but a poet has made of stern stuff. And so we shall try once more. This is the way the story should begin. Aline, look at me. I'm looking. Will you consent to be my wife?
