Family Theater: Dear Mr. American

The mutual broadcasting system in cooperation with Family Theater Inc. presents Dear Mr. American, starring Jay Carol Nash. Loretta Young is your hostess. The things are wrought by prayer, and this world dreams of... In the hearts of people everywhere, there is one great hope, that all nations will learn to live together in peace and brotherhood.

We like to think that each war is the last war. We are hopeful that international conferences may prevent future wars. We give generously and help those who are suffering, especially the little children, who are born into a world at war, and who are still suffering from its terrible after-effects, as a nation, as individuals we want peace.

But without God there can be no peace. All history teaches that. Because without faith there can be no freedom, and when freedom dies, a new war is born. Our homes, our communities, our nation and the world will be renewed with a peaceful, generous, God-loving spirit, if we as individuals make God a part of our homes.

If we make family prayer a daily practice in our homes, for this is so true, a family a prayer is a family at peace. And the world of prayer would mean the world of peace.

Loretta Young will speak again following tonight's family theater performance of Dear Mr. American, starring Jay Carol Nash. In here, Maria, in the kitchen. Ah, so you are at the table, Joseph. All ready to begin. You have your hands clean?

Maria, are not a good baker's hands always clean? All right then. Here is the pen and ink and the paper. I borrowed them from the schoolmaster just as you asked. Now, Joseph, write the letter.
