Family Theater: A Rose by Any Other Name

The mutual broadcasting system in cooperation with Family Theater Incorporated. More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams own. Isn't it wonderful when things go well? You know, when you make plans and they work out just right?

Of course having things run smoothly in any undertaking whether it's football, baseball or business needs understanding. Yes, and that's the secret of a happy home. Mother and father and children working, not at cross purposes but together.

Together with one another and with God. Yes, and a home where a family works together with God's plans and mind, where there's the daily practice of family prayer, there's real teamwork. Because God will never let you down if you sincerely ask His help.

That's why a family prayer is so important in all our homes. Family prayer is teamwork with God. Donna Michi will return later in the program. Now, the family theater presentation of A Rows by Any Other Name, starring Katherine Grayson and Johnny Johnston.

Well it's like this, you see, on a December night, I became the father of an eight-pound baby girl and let me tell you she's some baby. Naturally, I'm pretty proud and happy about the whole thing.

So a few days later, I mosey over to the church and I give my friend the pastor the lowdown. Of course Eddie Wheeler ranged to baptize the baby on Sunday, but surely you're not going to inflict that name on the defenseless child.

Why, I think it's a very nice name and that's what it's got to be. Well, you know the old saying. I rose by any other name. I'll wait a minute, Eddie. Couldn't you call her Mary or Margaret or Anne?

There is a right spirit in a home where family prayers a daily practice. A spirit of moral and spiritual growth. A spirit of unity and understanding. Because the family that prays together stays together. Before saying good night, I'd like to thank Catherine Grayson, Johnny Johnston for their performances this evening.

Our thanks to Timothy Mulvey for writing tonight's play to William Maguire for his song, Sweet Clementine and to Max Tear For His Music.
