Family Theater: Verdict - Guilty

The Mutual Broadcasting System in cooperation with Family Theater Incorporated presents Verdict Guilty, starring Alexander Knox and Stanley Clemens. Dan Daly is your host. More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of. We're all interested in knowing what the future holds for us. All of us would like to know how our jobs are going to hold up, how our finances and our families are going to get along. We know

It's true that what the future holds depends on how well we're going to do our jobs, how well we manage our finances and families, but sometimes even with our best efforts things get out of hand.

Yes, at times we need more help than our own efforts and a great influence on what the future has in store for us depends on whether we shake our heads and refuse to believe in and ask for God's guidance, or whether we lift our hearts in the direct and simple appeal of prayer for the most wonderful strength and guidance in the world.

Yes, that's what God's help means, and none of us can say his life isn't better and happier with that assistance, because with God all things are possible. That's why praying together can make your family, my family, all our families better and happier.

Yes, family prayer is the best investment for real security in a home. Dan Dealy will speak again following tonight's Family Theater story, Verdict Guilty, which stars Alexander Knox as Dad and Stanley Clemens as Eddie. Tonight we visit the small town of Middleville in North Dakota, the Thompson family with whom we're spending the evening

is a real family. They're together now with dinner, mother and dad, and their three sons Donald, Frank, and Richard Jr. That's the way it was, Dad. I was walking across the yard and he came up and saw it in Larry Peters, you mean?
