<v Speaker 1>The Upper Room presents So you want to stay married?

2
00:00:19.679 --> 00:00:21.920
<v Speaker 1>Today's episode in this study of family life in the

3
00:00:21.960 --> 00:00:26.600
<v Speaker 1>modern home is for Richer, for Poorer, for better for Worse,

4
00:00:27.280 --> 00:00:30.280
<v Speaker 1>Especially written and produced for the Upper Room by Carlton E. Morse,

5
00:00:30.760 --> 00:00:34.719
<v Speaker 1>featuring Jeanette Nolan as Laura and John McIntyre as Friend,

6
00:00:34.759 --> 00:00:42.560
<v Speaker 1>with Jane Morgan and Ken Christie. There is none so

7
00:00:42.600 --> 00:00:45.119
<v Speaker 1>happy as two people closely tied together by a common

8
00:00:45.159 --> 00:00:48.679
<v Speaker 1>goal ahead and with a rich background of shared sacrifices,

9
00:00:48.759 --> 00:00:51.679
<v Speaker 1>struggles and memories. I am thinking at the moment of

10
00:00:51.719 --> 00:00:55.479
<v Speaker 1>Laura Montgomery, who married Fred Evans against her father's best judgment.

11
00:00:56.280 --> 00:00:59.320
<v Speaker 2>Yes, that was twenty years ago. I was nineteen when

12
00:00:59.320 --> 00:01:01.000
<v Speaker 2>I went to my far and said I was going

13
00:01:01.000 --> 00:01:01.759
<v Speaker 2>to marry Fred.

14
00:01:01.920 --> 00:01:04.200
<v Speaker 3>Yes, I've known Fred since he was born, My dear.

15
00:01:04.920 --> 00:01:07.560
<v Speaker 1>Fred's a good boy, I think so dead. But Fred

16
00:01:07.599 --> 00:01:09.079
<v Speaker 1>hasn't got a cent to his name.

17
00:01:09.400 --> 00:01:11.760
<v Speaker 2>But hardly any young men in their twenties have money.

18
00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:14.480
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't seem to me. Fred's tried very hard to

19
00:01:14.519 --> 00:01:18.439
<v Speaker 1>accumulate anything. I've seen little sign of industry in that

20
00:01:18.519 --> 00:01:22.120
<v Speaker 1>young man. Oh but you will, you mean after you've

21
00:01:22.120 --> 00:01:25.480
<v Speaker 1>married him? Of course, no girl ever reformed any young

22
00:01:25.519 --> 00:01:29.079
<v Speaker 1>man by marrying him. Laura, that is a dreadful romantic

23
00:01:29.079 --> 00:01:31.439
<v Speaker 1>fallacy which has got more girls into trouble.

24
00:01:31.599 --> 00:01:34.680
<v Speaker 2>But that's not it at all. I wouldn't be reforming him.

25
00:01:35.000 --> 00:01:36.519
<v Speaker 2>It's just that he'll have an incentive.

26
00:01:36.680 --> 00:01:38.599
<v Speaker 1>But will he go right on living with his family

27
00:01:39.079 --> 00:01:40.719
<v Speaker 1>when he drag you into the mess too?

28
00:01:40.959 --> 00:01:42.760
<v Speaker 2>Well, that's horrible, of course.

29
00:01:42.879 --> 00:01:47.239
<v Speaker 3>Not Well, my dear, you go talk to your mother.

30
00:01:51.480 --> 00:01:53.719
<v Speaker 2>And that's what I did that day twenty years ago.

31
00:01:54.319 --> 00:01:57.239
<v Speaker 2>I went and talked to my mother. And it's just

32
00:01:57.239 --> 00:01:59.400
<v Speaker 2>not going to make any difference. Mother. I'm in love

33
00:01:59.400 --> 00:02:01.159
<v Speaker 2>with Fred and he's in love with me.

34
00:02:01.680 --> 00:02:04.200
<v Speaker 4>Well, then there's not very much use for me to

35
00:02:04.239 --> 00:02:05.439
<v Speaker 4>say anything, is there.

36
00:02:06.200 --> 00:02:07.359
<v Speaker 2>What do you think I'm wrong?

37
00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:10.879
<v Speaker 4>If you're going to marry Fred Evans Willy nilly, then

38
00:02:10.919 --> 00:02:12.879
<v Speaker 4>don't you think it would be tactless of me to

39
00:02:12.919 --> 00:02:15.439
<v Speaker 4>say anything damaging against my future son in law?

40
00:02:16.280 --> 00:02:19.520
<v Speaker 2>Then you do feel the way father does, No, Laura.

41
00:02:19.919 --> 00:02:23.120
<v Speaker 4>Every woman must follow the dictates of her heart. Your

42
00:02:23.159 --> 00:02:26.879
<v Speaker 4>father may be more practical financially, but every woman knows

43
00:02:26.919 --> 00:02:29.879
<v Speaker 4>that her happiness depends not on how much money your

44
00:02:29.919 --> 00:02:32.759
<v Speaker 4>husband gives her, but how much he gives of himself.

45
00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:35.840
<v Speaker 4>If you see in Fred all the good things you

46
00:02:35.960 --> 00:02:39.919
<v Speaker 4>desire in a husband, then marry him, love him, cling

47
00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:42.560
<v Speaker 4>to him. I don't know any other way for a

48
00:02:42.599 --> 00:02:44.680
<v Speaker 4>woman to get the things she needs most.

49
00:02:44.439 --> 00:02:51.039
<v Speaker 2>Out of life. And so twenty years ago, last June,

50
00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:53.960
<v Speaker 2>Laura Montgomery and Fred Evans walked down the aisle of

51
00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:57.159
<v Speaker 2>our community Church and gave our lives to one another.

52
00:02:58.159 --> 00:03:00.520
<v Speaker 2>Fred had built our service station with his father, and

53
00:03:00.520 --> 00:03:03.080
<v Speaker 2>we had rented a five broom cottage just around the corner.

54
00:03:03.840 --> 00:03:06.120
<v Speaker 2>We didn't go anywhere on our honeymoon because we were

55
00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:09.199
<v Speaker 2>too eager to get started on our career. Besides, we

56
00:03:09.240 --> 00:03:12.159
<v Speaker 2>didn't have the money. So Fred got into his overalls

57
00:03:12.159 --> 00:03:14.639
<v Speaker 2>and went around the corner to the service station, and

58
00:03:14.759 --> 00:03:17.199
<v Speaker 2>I did what was necessary in the cottage and tried

59
00:03:17.199 --> 00:03:20.479
<v Speaker 2>to keep myself beautiful and exciting for Fred's coming at

60
00:03:20.520 --> 00:03:24.560
<v Speaker 2>lunch time and dinner. This lasted for a month. Then

61
00:03:24.639 --> 00:03:28.639
<v Speaker 2>one evening, Fred seemed depressed all through dinner. Another piece

62
00:03:28.639 --> 00:03:31.479
<v Speaker 2>of pie, No thanks, more coffee.

63
00:03:31.840 --> 00:03:34.120
<v Speaker 3>I don't think so, darling.

64
00:03:34.800 --> 00:03:39.439
<v Speaker 2>There's something dreadfully wrong. What's the matter is it? Me?

65
00:03:40.039 --> 00:03:41.159
<v Speaker 3>As though you could.

66
00:03:41.000 --> 00:03:44.759
<v Speaker 2>Ask, well, it's something huh, I don't know.

67
00:03:44.680 --> 00:03:46.319
<v Speaker 3>What to do about the service station.

68
00:03:47.000 --> 00:03:49.520
<v Speaker 1>Do about it, Laura, I've just simply taken on a

69
00:03:49.560 --> 00:03:51.520
<v Speaker 1>two man's job and I can't swing it.

70
00:03:52.080 --> 00:03:54.560
<v Speaker 2>You mean a service station can't be run by one man?

71
00:03:54.599 --> 00:03:56.680
<v Speaker 1>Well, actually the station should be open from six in

72
00:03:56.719 --> 00:03:58.879
<v Speaker 1>the morning until nine at night. We opened at seven

73
00:03:58.919 --> 00:04:00.000
<v Speaker 1>and close at seven.

74
00:04:00.080 --> 00:04:02.560
<v Speaker 2>But those twelve hours are too much. Look how tired

75
00:04:02.599 --> 00:04:05.319
<v Speaker 2>you are now? Or three more hours would kill you?

76
00:04:05.560 --> 00:04:06.319
<v Speaker 3>I couldn't do it.

77
00:04:07.400 --> 00:04:09.439
<v Speaker 2>You think we've made a mistake.

78
00:04:10.439 --> 00:04:11.039
<v Speaker 3>I don't know.

79
00:04:11.960 --> 00:04:15.759
<v Speaker 1>Well, could I be of any help my wife pump

80
00:04:15.840 --> 00:04:17.839
<v Speaker 1>gasoline and wipe off windshields?

81
00:04:18.040 --> 00:04:20.959
<v Speaker 2>Well, what's wrong with pumping gas and wiping windshields?

82
00:04:20.959 --> 00:04:22.800
<v Speaker 3>I should say not, but I want to.

83
00:04:22.959 --> 00:04:23.639
<v Speaker 2>I'd love it.

84
00:04:23.759 --> 00:04:25.839
<v Speaker 1>You wouldn't love it after you were grease and grime

85
00:04:25.920 --> 00:04:26.800
<v Speaker 1>up to your elbows.

86
00:04:26.959 --> 00:04:29.360
<v Speaker 2>I wouldn't love being out there with you all day

87
00:04:29.360 --> 00:04:31.879
<v Speaker 2>instead of just seeing you at breakfast and lunch and dinner.

88
00:04:32.079 --> 00:04:33.800
<v Speaker 3>What what'll people say?

89
00:04:34.120 --> 00:04:35.879
<v Speaker 2>Well, what would they say if I let the station

90
00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:38.079
<v Speaker 2>go bus just because I wouldn't help my husband out

91
00:04:38.120 --> 00:04:40.800
<v Speaker 2>of a tight place? May I wear coveralls and a

92
00:04:40.839 --> 00:04:42.680
<v Speaker 2>painter's cap to keep the grease out of my hair?

93
00:04:42.800 --> 00:04:43.560
<v Speaker 3>You'll hate it?

94
00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:51.000
<v Speaker 2>I love it, and I did love it, without either

95
00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:54.199
<v Speaker 2>one of us quite knowing why or how, A tiny

96
00:04:54.279 --> 00:04:57.839
<v Speaker 2>strand that was not there before began to weave itself

97
00:04:57.879 --> 00:05:01.000
<v Speaker 2>about our two hearts. It was made up of a

98
00:05:01.120 --> 00:05:06.839
<v Speaker 2>shared experience, a mutual striving for achievement, the result of

99
00:05:06.959 --> 00:05:11.279
<v Speaker 2>pitting our energies against misfortune. And that was the beginning

100
00:05:11.319 --> 00:05:15.279
<v Speaker 2>of actually knowing that my father was wrong and my

101
00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:19.800
<v Speaker 2>mother was right about my marriage. Well. At the first

102
00:05:19.879 --> 00:05:22.199
<v Speaker 2>year and a half of our married life, Fred and

103
00:05:22.240 --> 00:05:24.439
<v Speaker 2>I had paid something on the principal and interest against

104
00:05:24.439 --> 00:05:28.079
<v Speaker 2>the service station, had all our current bills paid, and

105
00:05:28.199 --> 00:05:31.639
<v Speaker 2>had four hundred dollars in the bank. More than that,

106
00:05:32.480 --> 00:05:35.639
<v Speaker 2>we were looking forward to the arrival of well. Fred

107
00:05:35.680 --> 00:05:38.319
<v Speaker 2>insisted it would be baby Laura. I knew in my

108
00:05:38.439 --> 00:05:41.360
<v Speaker 2>heart it was Fred Junior. We had decided it was

109
00:05:41.399 --> 00:05:44.319
<v Speaker 2>time I stopped working in the station, and on that

110
00:05:44.480 --> 00:05:48.240
<v Speaker 2>evening we were driving over to my folks house when suddenly,

111
00:05:48.240 --> 00:05:50.279
<v Speaker 2>out of a side street shot a cut down roadster.

112
00:05:55.800 --> 00:05:57.800
<v Speaker 3>Laura, Laura, are you hurt?

113
00:05:58.360 --> 00:06:04.519
<v Speaker 1>Laura, speak to me, Get her to the hospital, Get

114
00:06:04.519 --> 00:06:06.480
<v Speaker 1>her to the hospital, hurry, hurry.

115
00:06:12.120 --> 00:06:17.079
<v Speaker 2>Yes, we lost the baby, and I spent four long

116
00:06:17.319 --> 00:06:23.680
<v Speaker 2>wearisome months in the hospital, weary, bitter, endless months, because

117
00:06:23.720 --> 00:06:26.279
<v Speaker 2>not only had a careless boy in a miserable car

118
00:06:27.120 --> 00:06:31.600
<v Speaker 2>killed our child, but he had wrecked our whole financial structure.

119
00:06:32.600 --> 00:06:35.399
<v Speaker 2>The four hundred dollars melted like snow on the stove,

120
00:06:36.360 --> 00:06:39.199
<v Speaker 2>and bills piled up, and Fred had to do without

121
00:06:39.199 --> 00:06:42.560
<v Speaker 2>an extra man of the station. There just wasn't money

122
00:06:42.560 --> 00:06:45.759
<v Speaker 2>to pay him. There were four or five months when

123
00:06:45.759 --> 00:06:49.519
<v Speaker 2>we were two pretty sick and discouraged people, and we

124
00:06:49.680 --> 00:06:51.759
<v Speaker 2>ended up the second year of our married life not

125
00:06:51.920 --> 00:06:55.079
<v Speaker 2>one bit better than when we were married, in fact,

126
00:06:55.759 --> 00:06:58.439
<v Speaker 2>with two hundred dollars in doctor bills more than when

127
00:06:58.480 --> 00:07:02.480
<v Speaker 2>we started. But do you know that was another big

128
00:07:02.519 --> 00:07:06.079
<v Speaker 2>turning point in our married life. The day I came

129
00:07:06.079 --> 00:07:09.160
<v Speaker 2>home from the hospital, Fred carried me in and laid

130
00:07:09.160 --> 00:07:13.680
<v Speaker 2>me on the bed, and suddenly he began to cry,

131
00:07:14.279 --> 00:07:17.920
<v Speaker 2>and I started to cry, and together we'd lay there

132
00:07:18.079 --> 00:07:25.199
<v Speaker 2>too full for words. Then we were praying together and

133
00:07:25.279 --> 00:07:29.000
<v Speaker 2>finding comforting each other, and out of it all we

134
00:07:29.079 --> 00:07:31.040
<v Speaker 2>got rid of something that had been building up in

135
00:07:31.120 --> 00:07:35.720
<v Speaker 2>us since the accident. And when we were finished, there

136
00:07:35.759 --> 00:07:39.680
<v Speaker 2>was a new, shining silver cord about our hearts that

137
00:07:39.800 --> 00:07:43.439
<v Speaker 2>had never been there before. It was a chord of

138
00:07:43.480 --> 00:07:49.720
<v Speaker 2>tenderness and sweetness forged out of common grief. There was

139
00:07:49.759 --> 00:07:54.160
<v Speaker 2>something that we had shared together that no other person

140
00:07:54.360 --> 00:07:59.720
<v Speaker 2>or persons would ever have a share in a marital tie.

141
00:07:59.759 --> 00:08:06.160
<v Speaker 2>That's surmounted romantic love, or wealth, or social position or

142
00:08:06.240 --> 00:08:10.480
<v Speaker 2>anything else. My father wanted for me and was afraid

143
00:08:10.560 --> 00:08:17.240
<v Speaker 2>I would miss with Fred. And then at the end

144
00:08:17.279 --> 00:08:21.399
<v Speaker 2>of our third year, our first son was born, and

145
00:08:21.519 --> 00:08:24.279
<v Speaker 2>the beginning of our fifth year, our second son was born.

146
00:08:25.199 --> 00:08:28.199
<v Speaker 2>And then in the seventh year came the twins, one

147
00:08:28.240 --> 00:08:30.920
<v Speaker 2>girl and one boy. And I was a very busy

148
00:08:31.000 --> 00:08:34.879
<v Speaker 2>mother and wife. The five room cottage fairly bulged at

149
00:08:34.919 --> 00:08:38.080
<v Speaker 2>the themes with four children, and it was quite necessary

150
00:08:38.120 --> 00:08:40.120
<v Speaker 2>that I make all the children's clothes as well as

151
00:08:40.159 --> 00:08:43.360
<v Speaker 2>my own, for at the end of eight years, what

152
00:08:43.480 --> 00:08:46.200
<v Speaker 2>was the children and the hospital bills and extra food

153
00:08:46.240 --> 00:08:49.519
<v Speaker 2>and clothing, and the absolute necessity of a mechanic to

154
00:08:49.559 --> 00:08:52.399
<v Speaker 2>help reread in the station. We never again had saved

155
00:08:52.480 --> 00:08:54.480
<v Speaker 2>up anywhere as near as much as the four hundred

156
00:08:54.480 --> 00:08:57.600
<v Speaker 2>dollars we saved the first year and a half. Was

157
00:08:57.600 --> 00:09:00.320
<v Speaker 2>about the end of the eighth or the beg beginning

158
00:09:00.320 --> 00:09:02.919
<v Speaker 2>of the ninth that we had a crisis about this

159
00:09:03.080 --> 00:09:05.559
<v Speaker 2>very thing. It was evening a children were a bit.

160
00:09:05.799 --> 00:09:07.120
<v Speaker 3>Sit down for a minute, Laura.

161
00:09:07.600 --> 00:09:10.279
<v Speaker 2>Oh I really shouldn't, Fred. There's so many things I

162
00:09:10.320 --> 00:09:12.600
<v Speaker 2>can be doing while a children are asleep. Poor darling,

163
00:09:13.399 --> 00:09:15.080
<v Speaker 2>Fred Evans, what are you talking about?

164
00:09:15.200 --> 00:09:17.320
<v Speaker 1>Trying so hard to be a good wife and mother

165
00:09:17.360 --> 00:09:19.240
<v Speaker 1>and with absolutely nothing to do it with it?

166
00:09:19.720 --> 00:09:21.159
<v Speaker 2>How can you talk like that?

167
00:09:21.360 --> 00:09:23.759
<v Speaker 1>Your father was right, wasn't he? Fred will never make

168
00:09:23.799 --> 00:09:25.480
<v Speaker 1>any money and Fred never has?

169
00:09:25.840 --> 00:09:28.720
<v Speaker 2>What's got into you? Are you tired of me?

170
00:09:29.279 --> 00:09:32.559
<v Speaker 1>Tired of you? Am I tired of my right arm?

171
00:09:32.879 --> 00:09:35.039
<v Speaker 1>Am I tired of listening to my heartbeat?

172
00:09:35.320 --> 00:09:36.559
<v Speaker 2>Well? Then what is wrong?

173
00:09:37.159 --> 00:09:37.919
<v Speaker 3>You're such a.

174
00:09:37.840 --> 00:09:41.320
<v Speaker 1>Good and gracious and wonderful girl and deserves so much

175
00:09:41.360 --> 00:09:42.360
<v Speaker 1>from the world and from me.

176
00:09:42.440 --> 00:09:46.960
<v Speaker 2>You're getting so little, Oh Fred, How little you understand me?

177
00:09:47.200 --> 00:09:50.480
<v Speaker 3>What I do understand? I like world without end?

178
00:09:51.200 --> 00:09:53.960
<v Speaker 2>Well do you think you could feel that way about

179
00:09:53.960 --> 00:09:57.960
<v Speaker 2>me if I didn't feel that way about you? And

180
00:09:58.000 --> 00:10:00.919
<v Speaker 2>you said something else that shows how very wrong you are.

181
00:10:01.240 --> 00:10:03.879
<v Speaker 2>You said you try so hard to be a good

182
00:10:03.919 --> 00:10:06.600
<v Speaker 2>wife and mother and have so little to do it with.

183
00:10:07.519 --> 00:10:09.600
<v Speaker 2>Why a good wife isn't the one who has money

184
00:10:09.639 --> 00:10:12.639
<v Speaker 2>to spend she's the one who has love to spend,

185
00:10:13.360 --> 00:10:18.320
<v Speaker 2>high hopes for her family, the will and understanding to

186
00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:22.799
<v Speaker 2>live in and for her husband, the desire to be

187
00:10:22.919 --> 00:10:26.639
<v Speaker 2>one with her husband. And money and worldly goods and

188
00:10:26.720 --> 00:10:28.960
<v Speaker 2>easy living have nothing whatever to do with a woman

189
00:10:29.000 --> 00:10:32.840
<v Speaker 2>being a good wife and a good mother. Why I

190
00:10:32.840 --> 00:10:35.840
<v Speaker 2>can teach my children to believe in God. I can

191
00:10:35.840 --> 00:10:40.600
<v Speaker 2>teach them honesty and integrity, the meaning of good citizenship

192
00:10:40.639 --> 00:10:44.399
<v Speaker 2>without indulging them with costly playthings, can't I is it

193
00:10:44.440 --> 00:10:49.840
<v Speaker 2>better for our children to understand the meaning of humanity,

194
00:10:50.440 --> 00:10:53.080
<v Speaker 2>to know their duties toward themselves and their fellow men,

195
00:10:53.879 --> 00:10:56.840
<v Speaker 2>and to know truth when they hear it? Or is

196
00:10:56.879 --> 00:10:59.960
<v Speaker 2>it more important that they have a father with pocket

197
00:11:00.039 --> 00:11:00.919
<v Speaker 2>it's full of money.

198
00:11:01.399 --> 00:11:03.480
<v Speaker 3>He wouldn't have anything different than it is.

199
00:11:04.200 --> 00:11:07.519
<v Speaker 2>I wouldn't trade one second of my life with you

200
00:11:08.519 --> 00:11:12.240
<v Speaker 2>for a whole lifetime with anyone else, under any circumstances

201
00:11:12.240 --> 00:11:12.879
<v Speaker 2>of luxury.

202
00:11:13.279 --> 00:11:16.080
<v Speaker 1>I don't know why you feel like that. It's always

203
00:11:16.080 --> 00:11:19.840
<v Speaker 1>been strange to me, but it's good. I know it's

204
00:11:19.840 --> 00:11:22.840
<v Speaker 1>good because it makes me feel strong and capable and

205
00:11:22.960 --> 00:11:26.279
<v Speaker 1>the man inside. I don't suppose we'll ever have much

206
00:11:26.279 --> 00:11:28.600
<v Speaker 1>of glamour and worldly effects my dear.

207
00:11:28.679 --> 00:11:33.240
<v Speaker 2>You are my choice of men. You are the one

208
00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:34.440
<v Speaker 2>I want.

209
00:11:34.879 --> 00:11:37.919
<v Speaker 3>Such love can only lead a man to good.

210
00:11:41.120 --> 00:11:44.120
<v Speaker 2>And now twenty years are gone by. The two oldest

211
00:11:44.120 --> 00:11:46.879
<v Speaker 2>boys are just finishing high school, and the twins are

212
00:11:46.919 --> 00:11:50.039
<v Speaker 2>in their first year. Fred no longer has a helper

213
00:11:50.080 --> 00:11:52.360
<v Speaker 2>at the service station because with the boys help before

214
00:11:52.399 --> 00:11:55.320
<v Speaker 2>and after school he gets along very well. And as

215
00:11:55.320 --> 00:11:57.240
<v Speaker 2>he said the other day, he would like to get

216
00:11:57.279 --> 00:11:59.759
<v Speaker 2>the station finally paid for before he gets so old

217
00:11:59.840 --> 00:12:02.519
<v Speaker 2>ye has to turn it over to the boys. And

218
00:12:02.639 --> 00:12:05.679
<v Speaker 2>we still lived in the same little five room house,

219
00:12:06.759 --> 00:12:11.120
<v Speaker 2>and we are very proud of our children, our integrity

220
00:12:11.120 --> 00:12:15.440
<v Speaker 2>in the community, and deep within us is the knowledge

221
00:12:15.480 --> 00:12:19.480
<v Speaker 2>that with the ebb and flow of fortune, we have

222
00:12:19.600 --> 00:12:24.679
<v Speaker 2>built a good marriage. To us, it is a thing

223
00:12:24.720 --> 00:12:30.000
<v Speaker 2>of beauty, a thing well made and well cared for,

224
00:12:31.720 --> 00:12:36.320
<v Speaker 2>and we are proud of it and will be until

225
00:12:36.360 --> 00:13:41.399
<v Speaker 2>the day we die.

226
00:13:45.320 --> 00:13:47.879
<v Speaker 1>If the family ties in your home are uncertain and

227
00:13:47.919 --> 00:13:52.000
<v Speaker 1>giving way, family worship will help to strengthen them. Worship

228
00:13:52.000 --> 00:13:54.840
<v Speaker 1>in the church of your choice, and have daily devotions.

229
00:13:54.399 --> 00:13:54.840
<v Speaker 3>In the home.

230
00:13:55.600 --> 00:13:57.799
<v Speaker 1>The church and the home are the basic rocks upon

231
00:13:57.799 --> 00:14:00.600
<v Speaker 1>which the moral structure of this nation is built. They

232
00:14:00.639 --> 00:14:05.080
<v Speaker 1>should be and must be one United Foundation. Ask your

233
00:14:05.080 --> 00:14:08.240
<v Speaker 1>pastor for devotional helps or send a post guard to

234
00:14:08.720 --> 00:14:13.000
<v Speaker 1>the upper Room. Nashville, Tennessee. You announcer Russell Thorston
