Family Theater: Jamie and the Promise

The mutual broadcasting system in cooperation with Family Theater Incorporated presents Jamie and the Promise, starring Jane Darwell and Bobby Drisco. Joan Leslie is your hostess. More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of.

Time is a fleeting thing, gone as quickly as it comes, and yet time is one of the most valuable possessions we have. It's wonderful what each one of us can do in the seconds that are strung out one after another.

in the seconds that add up to a lifetime. You know, all of us should have time to be courteous to those around us, to be considered of others. That's important because a lot of unhappiness in homes comes when people haven't time to be patient with one another.

It's worthwhile taking a little time to consider that quarrelling in a home never solves a problem. It's worth time to realize that separation or divorce is not the solution for misunderstandings and unhappiness in a family. It's worthwhile taking a little time out every day for family prayer. Yes, we all need God's help. And family prayer is a family's investment in happiness

for a day tomorrow and always. It's a trust fund for the future of a family. It's a partnership with God. Family prayer is God's time in our homes. Let's give it to him. Soon Leslie returns following tonight's family theater play, Jamie and the Promise, starring Jane Darwell and Bobby Driscoll.

It's late afternoon of a warm Georgia day. The last rays of the sun beam slant-wise across a cotton field to a small weathered farmhouse, setting a skew on four brick pillars like an old woman with lifted skirts.
