Family Theater: Farewell to Birdie Mc Keesler

The Mutual Broadcasting System in cooperation with Family Theater Incorporated presents farewell to Bertie McKeesler starring June Haver. George Murphy is your host. More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of. One of our great presidents once said, The real reason for universal unrest is not to be found so much in politics and economics

as in the sources of the spiritual life of our times. The sum of the whole matter is this, As he said, our civilization cannot survive unless it be redeemed spiritually. The primary hope that we can become less materialistic and more spiritual as men and as nations lies in our turning more to God, all of us.

And the first step, it seems to me, is for us to decide that each of our families will henceforth institute the practice of daily family prayer. The family you know is the fundamental unit in the world society.

Each of its members can be better, can be closer together, and can have more faith in the future if all of us together daily call on God to aid the nation and aid the world.

It is not only true that a family which prays together stays together, but also a world at prayer is a world at peace. George Murphy will return at the conclusion of tonight's Family Theater story farewell to to Bertie McKeesler, starring Miss June Haver.

Bertie McKeesler had been daydreaming behind the reception desk at Tyler, Flimp, Standish and O'Rourke for nearly a year when Mr. Tyler met an amazing discovery. It all came about because Mr. Tyler's secretary was at home with a severe case of prickly heat.
