Family Theater: The World of David Lee

More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of. The Mutual Broadcasting System in cooperation with Family Theater Incorporated presents the world of David Lee, starring Ronnie McDowell, and Blythe is your hostess. Tonight we bring you a story of a boy, a young boy growing up in a world that is searching for peace and happiness.

Before we present this picture of home life in America, I'd like to leave this thought with you. This fundamental conviction upon which family theatre is founded, that home life, our family life, is the most important influence on us as individuals, and on our nation in general.

More than anything else, it has been a weakening of family ties that is responsible for much of what has been called juvenile delinquency. But there is no problem of juvenile or parental delinquency in homes where families gather together daily for family prayer.

Because God's blessing on our home brings a wonderful peace and happiness. We will hear from our hostess Anne Blythe later in the program. Now Family Theater presents Roddy McDowell in the world of David Lee.

And the voice of that pitiful song sings on and is never still. A boy's will is the wind's will. And the thoughts of youth are long, long thoughts. I've heard a lot of people say that the youth of today is confused and bewildered by the world.

Now I don't know about that. It seems to me that most kids get a lot of fun out of life. And if they are bewildered, maybe it's at the way grown-ups often act, and leave so many things unfinished for the kids of today to untangle tomorrow.
