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

2
00:00:19.199 --> 00:00:21.519
<v Speaker 1>Today's episode in this study of family life in the

3
00:00:21.559 --> 00:00:23.839
<v Speaker 1>modern home is a Child.

4
00:00:23.679 --> 00:00:24.960
<v Speaker 2>Shall Lead Them?

5
00:00:25.039 --> 00:00:28.039
<v Speaker 1>Especially written and produced for The Upper Room by Carlton E. Morse,

6
00:00:28.480 --> 00:00:32.600
<v Speaker 1>featuring Jeanette Nolan as Anne, Tom Collins as Arthur, and

7
00:00:32.719 --> 00:00:34.200
<v Speaker 1>Dawn Bender as Shirling.

8
00:00:40.520 --> 00:00:41.880
<v Speaker 2>When Arthur and Anne.

9
00:00:41.560 --> 00:00:44.679
<v Speaker 1>Wentworth were first married, there was grave uncertainty in their

10
00:00:44.719 --> 00:00:48.640
<v Speaker 1>minds about children. Oh yeah, someday, of course, but right

11
00:00:48.679 --> 00:00:51.840
<v Speaker 1>in the beginning, maybe I can explain it well. In

12
00:00:51.880 --> 00:00:54.240
<v Speaker 1>the first place, Anne and I were so much in love,

13
00:00:54.320 --> 00:00:56.719
<v Speaker 1>they just didn't seem any place in our lives for

14
00:00:56.759 --> 00:00:59.880
<v Speaker 1>another human being. On top of that, I was just

15
00:01:00.039 --> 00:01:02.320
<v Speaker 1>out of the army, and I had a queer feeling

16
00:01:02.359 --> 00:01:04.799
<v Speaker 1>that the world was all topsy turvy, and I wasn't

17
00:01:05.120 --> 00:01:07.120
<v Speaker 1>sure I wanted to bring another human being into the

18
00:01:07.159 --> 00:01:09.519
<v Speaker 1>mess to face what might lie ahead.

19
00:01:09.519 --> 00:01:11.879
<v Speaker 2>And then there was money.

20
00:01:12.640 --> 00:01:15.319
<v Speaker 1>No sure, I had a job, but there just wasn't

21
00:01:15.400 --> 00:01:18.040
<v Speaker 1>enough money in the panvelope every week to cover food

22
00:01:18.079 --> 00:01:21.280
<v Speaker 1>and rent and all the other little necessities, let alone

23
00:01:21.280 --> 00:01:24.480
<v Speaker 1>a few small pleasures for handing me. And then Anne

24
00:01:24.560 --> 00:01:27.840
<v Speaker 1>was so young and beautiful and carefree.

25
00:01:27.480 --> 00:01:29.680
<v Speaker 3>You know, secretly in our hearts. We must have wanted

26
00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:33.120
<v Speaker 3>our children most terribly all the time, without us quite

27
00:01:33.159 --> 00:01:36.439
<v Speaker 3>realizing it. We must have because we spent so much

28
00:01:36.480 --> 00:01:39.680
<v Speaker 3>time talking about why we shouldn't have them. If we

29
00:01:39.760 --> 00:01:41.799
<v Speaker 3>had a nickel for every hour we spent trying to

30
00:01:41.840 --> 00:01:44.400
<v Speaker 3>prove to ourselves that it wouldn't be fair to the children,

31
00:01:44.840 --> 00:01:46.439
<v Speaker 3>we'd be very wealthy people.

32
00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:48.560
<v Speaker 2>And then it happened.

33
00:01:49.319 --> 00:01:53.599
<v Speaker 3>Yes, the whole thing was taken out of our hands.

34
00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:57.799
<v Speaker 3>I honestly think that somehow God looked down upon our

35
00:01:57.840 --> 00:02:02.480
<v Speaker 3>confusion and indecision and settle the matter for us. Not

36
00:02:02.640 --> 00:02:05.359
<v Speaker 3>that either Arthur or I were very religious at the time.

37
00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:09.000
<v Speaker 3>I mean, we both had religious training as children, but

38
00:02:10.199 --> 00:02:14.960
<v Speaker 3>we'd will rather let things slip. I wanted to bring

39
00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:18.319
<v Speaker 3>in the religious angle here because it seemed so much

40
00:02:18.360 --> 00:02:21.680
<v Speaker 3>a part of the coming of our children and what

41
00:02:21.840 --> 00:02:25.639
<v Speaker 3>happened to Arthur and me and our home as our

42
00:02:25.680 --> 00:02:30.120
<v Speaker 3>family grew. For instance, the night our first little girl

43
00:02:30.199 --> 00:02:33.680
<v Speaker 3>came was the first time that Arthur and I ever

44
00:02:33.759 --> 00:02:38.319
<v Speaker 3>prayed together. I was still pretty wan and shaky when

45
00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:43.520
<v Speaker 3>they let Arthur come in to see me and Darling, Hello, Papa,

46
00:02:44.240 --> 00:02:48.719
<v Speaker 3>Darling Dardley, I'm all right, Rather I'm all right.

47
00:02:48.639 --> 00:02:52.800
<v Speaker 2>I know, I know what. I'm so thank you. I'm

48
00:02:52.800 --> 00:02:53.759
<v Speaker 2>want to thank somebody.

49
00:02:54.840 --> 00:02:59.240
<v Speaker 3>We could say a prayer, Yes, yes.

50
00:02:59.120 --> 00:03:05.639
<v Speaker 1>That's it, our Father, which out in heaven, Howard Halloa,

51
00:03:07.240 --> 00:03:10.159
<v Speaker 1>Thy Kingdom, Come, come thy, will.

52
00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:25.439
<v Speaker 2>You do give us the stage our daily bread were

53
00:03:25.479 --> 00:03:26.759
<v Speaker 2>the coming of our daughter, Shirley.

54
00:03:26.840 --> 00:03:29.800
<v Speaker 1>We realized how silly and juvenile we'd been to everythink

55
00:03:29.840 --> 00:03:30.879
<v Speaker 1>of not having children.

56
00:03:31.759 --> 00:03:32.919
<v Speaker 2>It hadn't been a home at all.

57
00:03:33.680 --> 00:03:36.159
<v Speaker 1>It had just been a selfish, self centered place in

58
00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:38.520
<v Speaker 1>which Anne and I had been too occupied with ourselves

59
00:03:38.599 --> 00:03:40.159
<v Speaker 1>to ever think of other people.

60
00:03:41.240 --> 00:03:43.400
<v Speaker 2>We expanded, we blossomed.

61
00:03:44.599 --> 00:03:47.120
<v Speaker 1>It was almost as though our early married life had

62
00:03:47.120 --> 00:03:49.800
<v Speaker 1>only been the tightly closed but of a flower, whose

63
00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:53.240
<v Speaker 1>beauty and perfume unfolded and pervaded the atmosphere only after

64
00:03:53.319 --> 00:03:57.520
<v Speaker 1>we became parents. I thought Anne was beautiful before, but

65
00:03:58.240 --> 00:04:00.719
<v Speaker 1>in the role of a mother, sh the open flood

66
00:04:00.759 --> 00:04:03.159
<v Speaker 1>gates of love in my heart that I hadn't even

67
00:04:03.199 --> 00:04:07.199
<v Speaker 1>known were there. The miracle of bringing life in the

68
00:04:07.199 --> 00:04:10.520
<v Speaker 1>world together cause a strange thing to a man and woman.

69
00:04:11.919 --> 00:04:13.719
<v Speaker 2>It deepens and enriches the soul.

70
00:04:15.240 --> 00:04:18.680
<v Speaker 1>It's like deep, beautiful, moving organ music rolling down the

71
00:04:18.720 --> 00:04:19.639
<v Speaker 1>corridors of heaven.

72
00:04:22.480 --> 00:04:23.439
<v Speaker 2>It happens every time.

73
00:04:24.519 --> 00:04:28.639
<v Speaker 1>After Shirley came Jimmy and then young Anne, and each

74
00:04:28.680 --> 00:04:31.519
<v Speaker 1>time they were singing and rejoicing and the ringing of

75
00:04:31.560 --> 00:04:33.399
<v Speaker 1>bells and Hallel Lou in our hearts.

76
00:04:34.519 --> 00:04:36.240
<v Speaker 2>And I'm not forgetting the bad times either.

77
00:04:37.399 --> 00:04:39.720
<v Speaker 1>That terrible night, the doctor arrived at four o'clock in

78
00:04:39.720 --> 00:04:42.879
<v Speaker 1>the morning and sat beside Jimmy's bed while the small

79
00:04:42.879 --> 00:04:46.319
<v Speaker 1>hot face burned with fever and the little body shivered

80
00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:49.360
<v Speaker 1>in the agony of a life and death fight. I

81
00:04:49.360 --> 00:04:52.040
<v Speaker 1>won't forget that night, nor will I ever forget the

82
00:04:52.120 --> 00:04:55.680
<v Speaker 1>morning when the fever broke, the battle was won, and

83
00:04:55.720 --> 00:04:58.639
<v Speaker 1>the hand cried on my shoulder in desperate relief at

84
00:04:58.639 --> 00:05:03.800
<v Speaker 1>the goodness of heaven, and say, there and it's all

85
00:05:03.879 --> 00:05:04.720
<v Speaker 1>right now, it's going.

86
00:05:04.600 --> 00:05:05.199
<v Speaker 2>To be all right.

87
00:05:06.079 --> 00:05:15.199
<v Speaker 3>I prayed so hard, I prayed so high that it

88
00:05:15.279 --> 00:05:19.879
<v Speaker 3>was a miracle. Let's say it do. The doctor said

89
00:05:20.279 --> 00:05:21.399
<v Speaker 3>it was a miracle.

90
00:05:22.879 --> 00:05:26.079
<v Speaker 2>Thank they Dear God for answering hands prayer.

91
00:05:32.519 --> 00:05:35.800
<v Speaker 3>It seemed that at every turn our children brought Arthur

92
00:05:35.839 --> 00:05:39.639
<v Speaker 3>and Me closer to our childhood religion. When they came,

93
00:05:40.439 --> 00:05:43.639
<v Speaker 3>we felt called upon to give thanks for them. And

94
00:05:43.680 --> 00:05:47.000
<v Speaker 3>then in their infancy, we turned toward our church for

95
00:05:47.079 --> 00:05:52.879
<v Speaker 3>their christening and baptism and early training. Somehow we couldn't

96
00:05:52.920 --> 00:05:59.199
<v Speaker 3>disassociate our children from immortality and from the goodness and

97
00:05:59.680 --> 00:06:04.839
<v Speaker 3>graceciousness of a supreme being. It all seemed so much

98
00:06:04.879 --> 00:06:10.639
<v Speaker 3>a part of the great plan, something beyond our poor knowledge,

99
00:06:11.319 --> 00:06:14.439
<v Speaker 3>that our home became a religious home, almost without us

100
00:06:14.439 --> 00:06:20.639
<v Speaker 3>realizing it or knowing it. The sacredness of giving life

101
00:06:20.879 --> 00:06:25.399
<v Speaker 3>gave added sacredness to our home, to the relationship between

102
00:06:25.519 --> 00:06:29.079
<v Speaker 3>Arthur and me. When we were first married and only

103
00:06:29.120 --> 00:06:31.120
<v Speaker 3>had our love for each other to tie us together,

104
00:06:31.800 --> 00:06:35.920
<v Speaker 3>I often had qualms of losing Arthur. Other women seemed

105
00:06:35.920 --> 00:06:40.079
<v Speaker 3>so much more attractive than I felt. I really felt

106
00:06:40.079 --> 00:06:45.120
<v Speaker 3>an inadequacy within myself. I felt my hold on Arthur's

107
00:06:45.160 --> 00:06:47.800
<v Speaker 3>love was so ephemeral that it might dissolve like the mist.

108
00:06:48.439 --> 00:06:49.680
<v Speaker 1>Is that why you used to ask me if I

109
00:06:49.720 --> 00:06:52.160
<v Speaker 1>still loved you, kept quanting proof of my love?

110
00:06:52.360 --> 00:06:57.160
<v Speaker 3>Of course I was unsure. Didn't you ever feel unsure

111
00:06:57.160 --> 00:06:57.399
<v Speaker 3>of me?

112
00:06:57.920 --> 00:06:58.199
<v Speaker 2>Well?

113
00:06:59.079 --> 00:07:01.800
<v Speaker 1>We were a couple of times, as when the boss's

114
00:07:01.800 --> 00:07:03.959
<v Speaker 1>son came out from Europe and made that big pitch

115
00:07:03.959 --> 00:07:06.879
<v Speaker 1>in your direction. As there were a couple of times

116
00:07:06.920 --> 00:07:08.839
<v Speaker 1>now have butterflies of fear around my eye?

117
00:07:09.279 --> 00:07:11.600
<v Speaker 3>Have you ever had that feeling since Shirley was born?

118
00:07:12.319 --> 00:07:12.800
<v Speaker 2>Not once?

119
00:07:13.079 --> 00:07:16.680
<v Speaker 3>And neither have I. Because in Shirley and Jimmy and

120
00:07:16.720 --> 00:07:20.959
<v Speaker 3>baby Anne we found meaning in our marriage in proving

121
00:07:20.959 --> 00:07:23.319
<v Speaker 3>to be dependable parents. We've growd to each other that

122
00:07:23.360 --> 00:07:26.120
<v Speaker 3>we are likewise dependable helpmates.

123
00:07:26.319 --> 00:07:28.560
<v Speaker 1>I take it from this, Missus Wentworth, that you believe

124
00:07:28.639 --> 00:07:29.680
<v Speaker 1>in children in the home.

125
00:07:30.720 --> 00:07:35.279
<v Speaker 3>There's no doubt of it, mister Wentworth. In fact, for me,

126
00:07:35.519 --> 00:07:38.040
<v Speaker 3>children are the first and importance in making a marriage

127
00:07:38.079 --> 00:07:43.439
<v Speaker 3>a success. Children are the bonds which go beyond words, vowels,

128
00:07:43.560 --> 00:07:45.839
<v Speaker 3>marriage certificates, or even the laws of man.

129
00:07:46.040 --> 00:07:47.120
<v Speaker 4>Are you talking about me?

130
00:07:47.240 --> 00:07:49.639
<v Speaker 3>Mama, Shirley? Where did you pop from?

131
00:07:50.000 --> 00:07:50.160
<v Speaker 2>Who?

132
00:07:50.240 --> 00:07:52.160
<v Speaker 4>I heard you and Daddy talking in here? So I

133
00:07:52.240 --> 00:07:52.639
<v Speaker 4>came in?

134
00:07:53.079 --> 00:07:54.480
<v Speaker 2>What no kiss for your father?

135
00:07:55.040 --> 00:07:55.560
<v Speaker 4>Okay?

136
00:07:57.560 --> 00:08:00.879
<v Speaker 2>Oh? Well moist but otherwise satisfactory.

137
00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:04.439
<v Speaker 4>Oh look, what's the matter with my skates?

138
00:08:04.839 --> 00:08:06.360
<v Speaker 3>Oh that was an accident.

139
00:08:06.519 --> 00:08:07.360
<v Speaker 4>It's broke.

140
00:08:07.519 --> 00:08:10.920
<v Speaker 3>Look at the wheel, Yes, darling, Jimmy was wearing them,

141
00:08:10.959 --> 00:08:12.199
<v Speaker 3>but they're my skates.

142
00:08:12.600 --> 00:08:16.120
<v Speaker 2>He's broke. Well, you can forgive your brother for an accident, No.

143
00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:18.920
<v Speaker 4>Sir, I'm not gonna forgive him forever and ever he

144
00:08:19.079 --> 00:08:22.360
<v Speaker 4>broke my skate. Sureley, you mustn't say that, not ever

145
00:08:22.399 --> 00:08:23.600
<v Speaker 4>as well as he left.

146
00:08:23.839 --> 00:08:25.079
<v Speaker 2>You don't mean that, Shirley.

147
00:08:25.399 --> 00:08:28.199
<v Speaker 4>But how can you forgive anybody for breaking your skates?

148
00:08:28.560 --> 00:08:32.120
<v Speaker 4>Those are the only skates I've got? And I hate him?

149
00:08:33.240 --> 00:08:34.919
<v Speaker 2>What come? Here?

150
00:08:37.080 --> 00:08:39.039
<v Speaker 1>Every evening of the close of our little devotions, here

151
00:08:39.039 --> 00:08:41.240
<v Speaker 1>at home we say the Lord's prayer?

152
00:08:42.679 --> 00:08:43.279
<v Speaker 2>Can you say it?

153
00:08:43.879 --> 00:08:45.639
<v Speaker 4>Look at my skates, Daddy?

154
00:08:45.799 --> 00:08:48.279
<v Speaker 2>I know, I know? Can you say the Lord's prayer?

155
00:08:49.240 --> 00:08:49.639
<v Speaker 4>Yes?

156
00:08:50.399 --> 00:08:51.000
<v Speaker 2>Say it for me?

157
00:08:52.720 --> 00:08:59.679
<v Speaker 4>Please, our Father, which are in heaven, Hello, be thy name,

158
00:09:00.480 --> 00:09:04.039
<v Speaker 4>Thy Kingdom. Come. Thy will be done on earth as

159
00:09:04.080 --> 00:09:08.159
<v Speaker 4>it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread,

160
00:09:08.759 --> 00:09:12.080
<v Speaker 4>Give us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass

161
00:09:12.159 --> 00:09:12.879
<v Speaker 4>against us.

162
00:09:13.519 --> 00:09:16.159
<v Speaker 2>We do just not wait, wait a minute.

163
00:09:16.039 --> 00:09:17.320
<v Speaker 4>That's right, isn't it, Mommy?

164
00:09:17.600 --> 00:09:18.120
<v Speaker 3>That's right?

165
00:09:18.360 --> 00:09:20.840
<v Speaker 2>But say that last again? Give us this day our

166
00:09:20.919 --> 00:09:22.600
<v Speaker 2>daily bread? Then?

167
00:09:22.639 --> 00:09:26.279
<v Speaker 4>What forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who

168
00:09:26.320 --> 00:09:27.519
<v Speaker 4>trespass against us?

169
00:09:27.600 --> 00:09:30.240
<v Speaker 2>Um? Huh? Do you realize what you're saying?

170
00:09:30.639 --> 00:09:33.080
<v Speaker 4>I'm asking God to forgive me for what I do wrong.

171
00:09:33.480 --> 00:09:34.399
<v Speaker 2>You're asking more than that.

172
00:09:35.120 --> 00:09:39.480
<v Speaker 1>I am well aren't you forgive us the wrong we

173
00:09:39.600 --> 00:09:41.639
<v Speaker 1>do as we forgive others.

174
00:09:41.480 --> 00:09:44.240
<v Speaker 2>Who do wrong against us. Don't you see?

175
00:09:44.240 --> 00:09:46.639
<v Speaker 1>Surely you've got to forgive Jimmy, because if you don't,

176
00:09:47.240 --> 00:09:50.240
<v Speaker 1>then you can't ask God to forgive you. You won't even

177
00:09:50.279 --> 00:09:51.840
<v Speaker 1>have the right to say the Lord's prayer with us

178
00:09:51.840 --> 00:09:54.679
<v Speaker 1>while we if you hold enmity in your heart against.

179
00:09:54.360 --> 00:09:57.039
<v Speaker 2>Your brother, but he broke my skate, well.

180
00:09:56.879 --> 00:09:58.799
<v Speaker 1>And didn't you get into my shaving cabinet the other

181
00:09:58.879 --> 00:09:59.960
<v Speaker 1>day and break my razor?

182
00:10:00.039 --> 00:10:00.159
<v Speaker 2>Hm?

183
00:10:00.960 --> 00:10:01.279
<v Speaker 4>Yes?

184
00:10:01.559 --> 00:10:03.559
<v Speaker 2>And didn't you tell me you were sorry? And didn't

185
00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:04.159
<v Speaker 2>I forgive you?

186
00:10:04.879 --> 00:10:05.159
<v Speaker 4>Yes?

187
00:10:05.519 --> 00:10:08.200
<v Speaker 2>And weren't we both happier? I know I was.

188
00:10:09.240 --> 00:10:11.919
<v Speaker 1>I forgave you, and I know your mother forgave me

189
00:10:12.000 --> 00:10:15.559
<v Speaker 1>for the forgetting to bring groceries home from downtown. And Hm,

190
00:10:15.600 --> 00:10:18.120
<v Speaker 1>we forgave the neighbors were running their car across our lawn,

191
00:10:18.159 --> 00:10:20.399
<v Speaker 1>and the neighbors forgave us for keeping them up late

192
00:10:20.480 --> 00:10:23.240
<v Speaker 1>last week because our radio was on too loud, And

193
00:10:23.279 --> 00:10:26.879
<v Speaker 1>it goes on and on all our lives. Were forgiving

194
00:10:26.919 --> 00:10:31.279
<v Speaker 1>other people and they're forgiving us because we're all human beings,

195
00:10:32.000 --> 00:10:34.320
<v Speaker 1>and human beings always seen to be getting into trouble

196
00:10:34.320 --> 00:10:36.600
<v Speaker 1>where they need somebody to understand and forgive me.

197
00:10:36.720 --> 00:10:40.480
<v Speaker 3>Here, darling, take this handka jam Now, Jimmy's very sorry

198
00:10:40.879 --> 00:10:42.320
<v Speaker 3>and the skates can be fixed.

199
00:10:42.360 --> 00:10:45.320
<v Speaker 4>You know, I didn't know the Lord's prayer meant that.

200
00:10:45.559 --> 00:10:49.279
<v Speaker 3>Well, then you've learned something rather wonderful, haven't you. Now

201
00:10:49.320 --> 00:10:51.559
<v Speaker 3>You know that we can't even ask for forgiveness for

202
00:10:51.639 --> 00:10:55.080
<v Speaker 3>ourselves when we refuse to give it to others. And

203
00:10:55.159 --> 00:10:58.960
<v Speaker 3>it's so important it may make a difference in your

204
00:10:59.000 --> 00:10:59.720
<v Speaker 3>whole life.

205
00:11:00.360 --> 00:11:01.879
<v Speaker 4>I don't hate Jimmy, Well.

206
00:11:01.759 --> 00:11:04.559
<v Speaker 3>Of course you don't, So he's out in the kitchen.

207
00:11:04.559 --> 00:11:05.799
<v Speaker 3>Why don't you go tell him?

208
00:11:05.799 --> 00:11:08.279
<v Speaker 4>All right? I'd even kiss him when he.

209
00:11:08.320 --> 00:11:08.759
<v Speaker 3>Hate me.

210
00:11:13.639 --> 00:11:13.879
<v Speaker 2>After.

211
00:11:14.000 --> 00:11:18.000
<v Speaker 3>That was a wise thoughtful way of handling that, you know.

212
00:11:18.000 --> 00:11:22.000
<v Speaker 1>And I sold myself an idea while I was talking

213
00:11:22.000 --> 00:11:26.000
<v Speaker 1>to Shirley. You did what children are good for people

214
00:11:26.759 --> 00:11:29.720
<v Speaker 1>and get down to fundamentals with them. You have to

215
00:11:29.799 --> 00:11:33.679
<v Speaker 1>re state fundamental truths over and over, and first thing,

216
00:11:33.720 --> 00:11:35.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, they begin to seep into your own thick skull.

217
00:11:36.000 --> 00:11:38.360
<v Speaker 3>I don't know what you're talking about, but it sounds interesting.

218
00:11:38.559 --> 00:11:41.399
<v Speaker 1>Well, as I was talking to Shirley about forgiveness, I

219
00:11:41.519 --> 00:11:44.720
<v Speaker 1>just remembered something that's been happening down at the office. Well,

220
00:11:44.720 --> 00:11:46.440
<v Speaker 1>one of the salesman's been getting in my hair, and

221
00:11:47.120 --> 00:11:50.080
<v Speaker 1>I've been building up a grudge I dislike for him.

222
00:11:50.120 --> 00:11:51.279
<v Speaker 3>Oh I see m.

223
00:11:52.320 --> 00:11:54.159
<v Speaker 1>It just occurred to me that I could probably do

224
00:11:54.240 --> 00:11:57.440
<v Speaker 1>a little forgiving myself. I hadn't thought of myself, and

225
00:11:57.519 --> 00:11:58.279
<v Speaker 1>just that light before.

226
00:11:59.000 --> 00:12:01.799
<v Speaker 3>Children are in education, they say, well.

227
00:12:01.679 --> 00:12:06.759
<v Speaker 1>They say, truly, education and the fundamentals of living. You

228
00:12:06.799 --> 00:12:10.159
<v Speaker 1>can't train a child properly without becoming a better person yourself.

229
00:12:10.639 --> 00:12:15.080
<v Speaker 3>And better people make better marriages. And Darling, that's what

230
00:12:15.200 --> 00:12:18.360
<v Speaker 3>we're living, one of the better marriages.

231
00:13:28.879 --> 00:13:32.080
<v Speaker 1>If the family ties in your home are uncertain and

232
00:13:32.159 --> 00:13:37.240
<v Speaker 1>giving way, family worship will help to strengthen them. Worship

233
00:13:37.279 --> 00:13:40.960
<v Speaker 1>in the church of your choice, and have daily devotions

234
00:13:40.960 --> 00:13:44.679
<v Speaker 1>in the home. The church and the home are the

235
00:13:44.759 --> 00:13:47.960
<v Speaker 1>basic rocks upon which the moral structure of this nation

236
00:13:48.159 --> 00:13:53.639
<v Speaker 1>is built. They should be and must be, one united foundation.

237
00:13:55.159 --> 00:13:59.240
<v Speaker 1>Ask your pastor for devotional helps or send a postcard

238
00:13:59.320 --> 00:14:05.399
<v Speaker 1>to the Upper Room Nashville, Tennessee your announcer Russell Cross
