from Hollywood, the Hollywood Radio Theater. Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, this is your host, Don Wilson. Tonight, we're presenting a story that has long been a favorite of audiences all over America. It is, in fact, a peculiarly American story, and yet its theme of an inspired man ever seeking new challenges, new fields to conquer, is universal and timeless.
We're privileged to bring you heartful, expenses unforgettable drama, one foot in heaven starring Mr. Dana Andrews. It was Palm Sunday. Father facing a church full of the rafters was delivering one of the finest sermons of his life. And now his gradually rising crescendo told me the climax was near it.
Clear. There's no dark hidden mystery here, my friends, for the skies are a light with his truth. And we remember well those words spoken on that first Palm Sunday so many centuries ago. The words of our text today. While he have light, believe in the life that he may be children of life. Believe that is the word of this day. Believe. For the first time in
my memory Father broke off of Dutharly at the very high point of his sermon. Mr. Guthrie, Chief Usher, the church had come up to him on the platform and whispered something in Father's ear. Father merely nodded and went on.
Believe him, we are Christians in the truest sense of that word. We are servers, workers for his church and for his faith, unselfish, untiring and devoted to the last full measure of devotion. Let us pray.
The Lord bless the enkeet thee, amen. Brother Kendall will lead you in the closing hymn. Oh, in case any of you may be worried that the house on fire is yours, it is not. It's mine. Evening services, etc.
