Transcript

The mutual broadcasting system in cooperation with Family Theater Incorporated presents Substitute Santa, starring Frank McHugh and James Burke. Ray Meland is your host. More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams are. Our happiness so often comes from little things.

The simple deeds, the daily thoughtful acts of kindness, the words of encouragement we can and should give to one another. These things mean so much, especially at home, where appreciation and gratitude may often be forgotten because it is home, and we just take for granted the kindness and encouragement that is given.

It's sad to see a home where words of thanks are forgotten, or where there's distrust and constant quarrelling, because home was meant to be the happiest place in the world. And it can be with God's help.

And in a home where there is the daily practice of family prayer, the daily expression of Thanks to God. There is always a new appreciation of members of a family for one another. A new spirit of thankfulness and happiness.

We will hear from Ray Milan later in the program. Now Family Theater presents Substitute Santa, starring Frank McEew with James Burke. The apartment store? Yes, Madam.
