Family Theater: In Another Year

The mutual broadcasting system in cooperation with Family Theater Incorporated presents transcribed in another year starring Ruth Hussey and Glenn Langen. Jay Edgar Hoover is your host. More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of.

Now, with special message from tonight's Family Theater host, Jay Edgar Hoover. The greatness of America, the future of our nation, depends on all of us. Yesterday, the religious destiny rests in the hands of every individual, regardless of race and creed, in every town and city throughout the nation.

During the recent years, major crime has been on the upswing. At the end of the last war, age 17 led all the other age groups in arrests for serious crimes. More and more children are being led toward crime as parents throw away responsibility.

This is too often the keynote of the day, and materialism, the inspiration for living. God in many instances is not accepted in the home, and concepts of morality have been relegated to the junk heap.

Can a nation exist void of all religious thought and action? Can we have internal peace without morality? Can we build homes without God, or have worthy parents who do not know and practice his teachings?

The key to these problems to life itself is God. He is man's first need, his final goal. Our nation is sadly in need of a rebirth, of a simple life. He returned to the days when God was a part of each household, when families arose in the morning with a prayer on their lips and ended the day by gathering together to place

themselves in his care. If there is hope for the future of America, if there is to be peace and happiness in our homes, then we as a nation must return to God and to the practice of daily family prayer.
