Transcript

The mutual broadcasting system in cooperation with Family Theater Incorporated presents The Lonely Road, starring Gregory Peck, with a Family Theater Orchestra directed by Max Tear. Nelton Eddy is your host. More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of.

A thought occurred to me the other day. It seemed to me that we're all so busy making a living and trying to get ahead that we don't have enough time left to think.
