Family Theater: The Tin Whistle

More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of. The Mutual Broadcasting System in cooperation with Family Theater Incorporated presents the Tin Whistle starring Robert Young. Fred McMurray is your host. You've probably heard it said that Hollywood is the crossroads of the world.

It's true you meet people here from almost any place you can mention. People with all kinds of ideas, people with problems. And once in a while you meet someone with a good solution to a problem.

I met someone like that recently and he has a wonderful idea. It's a simple, yet perfect solution to the unhappiness, misunderstanding, and disruption that occurs in family life today. The solution is this, pray together as a family.

And why? Because in a prayerful home where there is respect for God, there is also respect for one another. A respect that brings harmony and happiness. A respect that brings understanding, forgiveness, and unchanging love.

That's why we say, Pray together as a family. Make daily prayer a family practice. And you too will learn what so many have discovered. A simple fact. That family prayer brings happiness and harmony into a home.

This morning, quite by accident, I came upon an old newspaper item concerning Miss Margaret Rice, who was a teacher at the grammar school I attended. It has been 26 years since I last saw Miss Margaret Rice.

She must have been about 33 at the time, and I was nine. My first impulse was to destroy the old newspaper clipping and to dismiss it from my mind. But then I began to realize I have been trying not to think about Miss Margaret Rice all my life, and that I shall never escape the torment of her memory.
