Family Theater: The Bid Was Four Hearts

Family Theater presents Joan Leslie and Stephen McNally. From Hollywood, the mutual broadcasting system in cooperation with Family Theater brings you Stephen McNally as the star of the Bed was Four Hearts. When produced as on her, here is your hostess Joan Leslie.

Thank you, Larry Cattleton. Family Theater's purpose is to promote family prayer in the belief that prayer is the most powerful force at man's command and as such must be given a place in our hearts and homes in our times and in our world. 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 bit. Chaplain Clark pulling north. Nile pass. Chaplain John Washington East. How big?

Four clap. Chaplain George Fox South. Nile pass. Chaplain Alexander Good, West. How big? Four hearts. Four men. Two Protestants ministers, one Jewish rabbi, one Catholic priest. Four men made a bid. And a grateful nation will remember this night for all time, that the bed was four hearts.

You were sleeping, though, as called February night friends. You were sleeping quietly. And while you were sleeping, the big gray shadows were out in the water. Con boy, they call it. Con boy, moving in the night, carrying men and material for the United Nations.

Convois stepping cautiously over grey waters that are treacherous, submarines. Below the deck of the troop transport, Dorchester, four chaplains are sitting in offices for us. Then suddenly there's a knock on the door. Mr. Chaplin's Quarters?

Hmm? Oh, step right in, Jimmy. Oh, it's nice and warm down here. If you ask me, Chaplin's this North Atlantic ain't so hot. I'm standing up for on stack looking for submarines, what do I get?
