Family Theater: Descent Into Paradise

The mutual broadcasting system in cooperation with Family Theater Incorporated presents Descent Interparadise starring Edgar Berrier, Natalie Wood and Philip Terry. John Lund is your host. More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of.

Do you remember a day, maybe for some of you a day long ago, but a day to remember always. The day when you stood beside someone you love and pledged your faith in one another until death to us part.

And on that day, together you ask God to bless you, to bless your marriage. That is a prayer that should be on our lips, not only on the day of marriage, but every day. And when we as a family join together and ask God to bless our home, we can be sure that

that he will hear our prayers and help us in all difficulties. Pray together as a family. Make daily family prayer a family practice. And in your hearts and homes, there will always be the peace and happiness that comes with God's wonderful help.

You stand at the bridge where the Chicago River meets Lake Michigan. You can see the towering skyscrapers shoot up from the river banks. You can see the great Michigan Boulevard with its elegant shops. And then as you look down below to the lower level, As up-durnian passageway that follows the black, swirling Chicago River westward, a panorama

of contrast unfolds, unequal by few cities in the world. The lower level was roofed by the streets above, shadowed by the skyscrapers and warehouses on its north and south banks. As you move along lower level, you'll note the ghoulish-looking shops, one-time speakeasies during the Chicago's reign of terror.
