Transcript

The Mutual Broadcasting System in cooperation with Family Theater Incorporated presents Stopwatch Finale, starring Steven Dunn. Dick Haims is your host. More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of. Your Family Theater host for tonight?

Dick Haims. And I'm happy to be with you on Family Theater tonight. You know, it's wonderful just to stop for a moment and think what a grand thing it'd be be if all homes in America set aside a short time every day, a short time to gather together and just talk over all the little problems that come up in daily family life.

It seems that we're often so busy today that we're apt to forget the small things in home life, the simple things that make a happy home. Yes, and kindness, and understanding, and family prayer. It's so easy when you think about it, and it's so wonderful to know that God is in your family that God's blessing is on your home because that means his understanding and kindness

and true companionship in our home. Now for tonight's Family Theater presentation starring Stephen Dunn with Herbert Rawlinson and Bill Johnstone. Concerning Edward A. Gibson legally tried and condemned to death in the rivet and death house, there are these unusual facts to remember.

Get your mind off the time Gibson. No words from the governor yet. Nothing. Can I get you any magazines, Gibson? No, thanks. I think I'll... I think I'll just wait. What's the time? Mmm, exactly four minutes after five.

That makes it six hours roughly. Right. Six hours to live. I wouldn't keep thinking about it, Gibson. It wouldn't, I? No, I'd do something. Get my mind on other things. What, for instance? Oh, I'd read the Bible or something.
