Transcript

The mutual broadcasting system in cooperation with Family Theater Incorporated presents One in a Million Starring Billy Burke with Earl Ross's Julius and Louise Beavers as Daisy. Hugh Herbert is your host. More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of.

Have you noticed the way a man looks at himself in a mirror? It's mostly always with a practical look. And he'll say to himself, well, I guess that better shave today, eh? here. Next week would be time enough for a haircut. Getting a little gray on the sides. Oh, I'm going to watch that. Of course, with the ladies it's different.

Oh, I don't mean the ladies aren't practical. They're practical, all right. In fact, when they look into a mirror, they see not only a reflection of what's there, they can also see what was and the possibilities of what might be. And you know it's a good thing to be able to see the possibilities of what might be, especially in a home. The possibilities

for a better and happier family life. Family prayer is possible in every home and it should be a daily family practice because it's the most practical plan for a better and happier family life.
