Family Theater: Some Rain Must Fall

The mutual broadcasting system in cooperation with Family Theater Incorporated presents Some Rain Must Fall, starring William London and Betty Arnold. Jimmy Gleason is your host. More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams are.

Ever walked through the streets of a big city and noticed how many people hurry along, wrapped up in their own thoughts, it leaves you with a feeling that a big city with millions of people around can sometimes be the loneliest place in the world.

Yes, in the reverse of that picture, the most cheerful place in the world is a happy home. There's no word that means so much, so many things to each of us as the simple word home.

It means companionship and love and the kindness of those who love us. It means all the wonderful things of life, the beautiful things that we cherish, beautiful things like a mother and a father and little children who kneel and offer their simple prayers to him who gives mankind so many blessings, for which to be thankful, among them the blessings

of little children. To have peaceful, prayerful, happy homes, that is the purpose to which family theatre is dedicated. Dedicated with the hope that your home, your family, will enjoy all of God's wonderful blessings. The rain was over the city that night, the driving cold rain of October.

The wind out of the North East took the rain, took it and shook it like a wet scourge against the granite and steel of the city. In some way or that late October evening, there was a kind of sad sound in the world.

As of wasted things, wasted life, and wasted dreams, and a girl walked slowly out of the rain, upped the steps into the old cathedral. And she knelt with the rain still on her, on her face and hair.
