Family Theater: World With a Fence

The Mutual Broadcasting System in cooperation with Family Theater Incorporated presents World with a Fence, starring Robert Stack, Richard Webb, and Gloria Blondell. Frank Leahy, coach of Notre Dame, is your host. More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of.

Here is Frank Leahy. Isn't it wonderful when things go well? You know when you make plans and they work out just right. Of course, having things run smoothly and in the undertaking. Whether it's football, baseball, or business, needs understanding.

That's the secret of a happy home. Mother and father and children working. Not at cross purposes, but together. Together with one another and with God. Yes, in a home where a family works together with God's plan in mind.

Whether there's the daily practice of family prayer, there is real teamwork because God will never let you down if you sincerely ask His help. That's why family prayer is so important in all our homes.

Family prayer is teamwork with God. Frankly he will speak again following our family theater play starring Robert Stack, Richard Webb and Gloria Blondell in World with a Fence. You probably remember Tim Stryker. Big Tim Stryker they called him.

Back in 1935 he was chosen all American quarterback. That was when he and I were juniors at Manning. I was Tim's roommate. Funny about that, it didn't matter that I was unimportant and had to work my way through college.

But that was Tim's way. That's why he was a big man. He accepted everyone as an equal. I lived with him three years before I found out that he came from one of Boston's wealthiest families.

The year that we were seniors, a girl named Janie Pierce came to Manning. She was a transfer from some western college. I fell in love with her, and I thought she kind of liked me.
