And now to our drama. The bid was four hearts starring Stephen McNally as the narrator. Friends, I'm going to tell you a story. A story of four American chaplains.

Four chaplains who in the early hours of a February morning made a strong and beautiful bid. Chaplain Clark Pulling, North. I'll pass. Chaplain John Washington East. I'll bid. Four clamps. Chaplain George Fox South. I'll pass.

Chaplain Alexander Good, West. I'll bid. Four hearts. Four men. Two parisons ministers. One Jewish rabbi. One Catholic priest. Four men made a bid. And the great whole nation will remember this night and for all time.

That the bid was four hearts. You were sleeping those cold February night friends. He was sleeping quietly. And while he was sleeping, the big grey shadows were out on the water. Convoi, they call him.

Convoi, moving in the night. Carrying men and material for the United Nations. Convoi stepping cautiously over grey waters that are treacherous, separators. Below the deck of the troop transport doorchester, four chaplains are sitting in office as quarters.

And suddenly there's a knock on the door. Is this the chaplain's quarters? Oh, step right in, Jimmy. Oh, that's nice and warm down here. If you ask me, Chaplain's is North Atlantic ain't so hot.
