Family Theater: High Boarded Fence

The mutual broadcasting system in cooperation with Family Theater Incorporated presents the High-Bordered Fence starring Ward Band and Mary Eleanor Donahue. Lon McAllister is your host. More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of.

They say that spring is the time when people fall in love. The poets write about it, songsters sing about it, and everybody talks about it, so it must be true. And you hear a lot about spring house cleaning too.

You know, spring is a wonderful time because there is a renewal and reawakening of so many things around us, and a wonderful thing in a home is a renewal and reawakening of love of God.

Yes, in the expression of that love in the daily practice of family prayer awakens a new harmony and peace and happiness in a home. Family prayer means all the beautiful things that home is meant to have.

Prayer means springtime all the time in our homes. Lon McAllister returns following tonight's family theatre story, the High Bordered Fence, starring Ward Barn and Mary Eleanor Donahue. At the edge of the Ampsford River, a high-boarded fence forms a barrier against the town. A watchman stands guard at the narrow gate. Above

of him is assigned with a single word, danger. Okay fellas. Hey you guys, let's go. It passes. Passes. Mike Newton, 379. Newton, 379.

Okay. Andy Brown, 424. Brown, 424. Okay. Hey Mike. Yeah. What's this? It's a super secret jam. They got to board it up like we're building an A bomb. And uh, Elmsford's a high-class town. What's that got to do with it?

You remember digging the Holland Tunnel in New York? Yeah. Well, didn't they board that up too? High-class people might get scared of sandhugs. Uh, what do you tryin' at you, kid me? I once saw where they had holes in a fence around a job so people could peek through.
