3
00:01:30,507 --> 00:01:32,676
This is Glasgow, scot/and
4
00:01:32,759 --> 00:01:35,679
the year /'s 7.975.
5
00:01:35,762 --> 00:01:40,475
This is the stay of a man
and his close friendship with god.
6
00:01:40,559 --> 00:01:42,853
His name... Peter marsha/I.
7
00:01:43,937 --> 00:01:47,316
As a ha y, his home was in coalbria'ge
nine miles away,
8
00:01:47,399 --> 00:01:49,776
but his heart belonged to the sea.
9
00:01:59,828 --> 00:02:00,829
Oh!
10
00:02:05,751 --> 00:02:06,918
How's that?
11
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:15,761
Aha! What do we have here?
12
00:02:15,844 --> 00:02:18,555
- It's that findlay lad again.
- My name is Peter Marshall!
13
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,099
Marshall... findlay...
Nuisance suits you the best!
14
00:02:21,183 --> 00:02:23,310
This time I'm puttin'
an end to your pranks.
15
00:02:29,024 --> 00:02:31,401
- This young rooster belong to you?
- Aye. Aye, he does.
16
00:02:31,485 --> 00:02:34,237
- What's he been up to?
- Three times in as many weeks they tell me
17
00:02:34,321 --> 00:02:36,448
he's been caught trying
to sneak aboard the ship.
18
00:02:36,531 --> 00:02:38,700
Wants to go to sea, he says.
19
00:02:38,784 --> 00:02:40,911
He's gettin' off
with a warnin' this time.
20
00:02:40,994 --> 00:02:43,997
But catch him on the docks again,
and you'll be held responsible.
21
00:02:47,417 --> 00:02:51,046
Dragged along like a common thief
for all the street to see.
22
00:02:51,129 --> 00:02:53,090
I always knew you'd disgrace us.
23
00:02:53,173 --> 00:02:56,426
Then why didn't you give me your consent
when I wanted to join the royal Navy?
24
00:02:56,510 --> 00:02:59,262
Ah! There's his gratitude
for all the advantages we gave him...
25
00:02:59,346 --> 00:03:02,724
Piano lessons for the young gentleman,
day school for the young gentleman.
26
00:03:02,808 --> 00:03:05,769
- I'm through with both.
- Are ya now?
27
00:03:05,852 --> 00:03:08,021
Then you'll go to work
and start paying your way.
28
00:03:08,105 --> 00:03:10,607
You'll find yourself a job, and you'll...
29
00:03:10,691 --> 00:03:13,276
There now, you've made me late for mine.
30
00:03:14,861 --> 00:03:16,863
The first time in 13 years!
31
00:03:19,700 --> 00:03:22,828
Peter, you must go back to school.
32
00:03:22,911 --> 00:03:25,997
After me making such a fool of myself,
33
00:03:26,081 --> 00:03:28,458
tellin' everyone good-bye,
34
00:03:28,542 --> 00:03:31,294
braggin' about the big things
I was going to do?
35
00:03:31,378 --> 00:03:33,797
You'll still do the big things, Peter,
36
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:37,175
if you'll but swallow your pride
and get your education.
37
00:03:37,259 --> 00:03:39,511
You can make me so proud of you.
38
00:03:39,594 --> 00:03:41,596
You can be so proud of yourself.
39
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:45,142
Do you think I could live
on Mr. Findlay any longer
40
00:03:45,225 --> 00:03:47,894
after what he said about payin' my way?
41
00:03:47,978 --> 00:03:51,356
I'll get a job all right,
but I'll start to night school.
42
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:53,692
Oh. Oh, thank you, son.
43
00:03:53,775 --> 00:03:58,196
But I'm not givin' up.
Somehow, someday, I'll go to sea.
44
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,490
Mmm. Of course you will,
45
00:04:00,574 --> 00:04:02,826
if it's god's plan for ya.
46
00:04:03,994 --> 00:04:07,789
Maybe this is one of the times
that granny used to talk about
47
00:04:07,873 --> 00:04:10,792
when god slams a door in your face
48
00:04:10,876 --> 00:04:14,129
that he may guide you to the one
through which he wants you to pass.
49
00:04:16,089 --> 00:04:19,509
Life fol/owed a common pattern
for the young men of coatbrio'ge.
50
00:04:19,593 --> 00:04:23,722
As their fathers and grandfathers before
them, they went to work in the mills.
51
00:04:29,269 --> 00:04:32,022
For seven years, Peter had paid his way.
52
00:04:32,105 --> 00:04:35,525
When fortunate enough to work
full-time, nine hours a day,
53
00:04:35,609 --> 00:04:38,528
he earned the equivalent
of nine dollars a week,
54
00:04:38,612 --> 00:04:42,741
barely enough to reimburse his stepfather,
ll/lr. Findlay, for room and board
55
00:04:42,824 --> 00:04:47,329
and to pay for the n/ght classes
he still stubbornly attended
56
00:05:21,530 --> 00:05:23,031
Who is it?
57
00:05:46,304 --> 00:05:47,848
Speak up. What do you want?
58
00:05:54,729 --> 00:05:56,731
Oh!
59
00:06:24,885 --> 00:06:28,221
So it was you who called to me.
60
00:06:28,305 --> 00:06:29,306
Why?
61
00:06:31,975 --> 00:06:34,978
Now I know what's been holding me back.
62
00:06:35,061 --> 00:06:37,564
I'd forgotten that it was you
who calls the s/gnals.
63
00:06:39,733 --> 00:06:42,402
But have I got you fight this time?
64
00:06:43,445 --> 00:06:45,572
Do you really mean what I think you do?
65
00:06:56,499 --> 00:07:00,503
J“ ye'll take the h/gh road
and I'll take the low road j“
66
00:07:00,587 --> 00:07:04,341
j“ and ill be in Scotland afore ye j“
67
00:07:04,424 --> 00:07:08,929
j“ where me and my true love
were ever won't to gae j“
68
00:07:09,012 --> 00:07:12,182
j“ on the bonny, bonny banks j“
69
00:07:12,265 --> 00:07:16,186
j“ of loch lomond j“j“
70
00:07:16,269 --> 00:07:19,105
- Son, do you want to waken Mr. Findlay?
- Oh, mother.
71
00:07:19,189 --> 00:07:21,829
- You passed in French?
- I did not. I flopped as flat as a kipper.
72
00:07:21,900 --> 00:07:23,860
Oh, no.
73
00:07:23,944 --> 00:07:26,321
Then what are you so happy about?
74
00:07:26,404 --> 00:07:29,032
Uh, not that it isn't good
to feel contented with your lot.
75
00:07:29,115 --> 00:07:33,453
Contented? Oh, that's a pale word
for what I'm feeling.
76
00:07:33,536 --> 00:07:36,039
Tonight in the fog, the heavens opened.
77
00:07:36,122 --> 00:07:39,209
They actually did, and now I know
what I'm going to do.
78
00:07:39,292 --> 00:07:42,337
Just when I thought my life was
worth nothing, the lord asked for it,
79
00:07:42,420 --> 00:07:45,548
told me he had a use for it
and what was his plan for me.
80
00:07:45,632 --> 00:07:47,175
And what's that, Peter?
81
00:07:48,134 --> 00:07:50,637
He wants me to be a minister.
82
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:53,390
- A minister, Peter?
- Aye.
83
00:07:53,473 --> 00:07:55,725
- Aren't you pleased?
- Oh.
84
00:07:55,809 --> 00:07:58,228
My cup runneth over.
85
00:07:58,311 --> 00:08:01,564
- But it'll take a bit of doing.
- Oh, he knows that,
86
00:08:01,648 --> 00:08:03,817
and already he's getting to work on it.
87
00:08:03,900 --> 00:08:06,569
- He's sending me to america.
- Oh.
88
00:08:10,281 --> 00:08:11,908
Three years later,
89
00:08:11,992 --> 00:08:14,995
by working double shifl's at the mill,
by scrimping and sa ving,
90
00:08:15,078 --> 00:08:17,747
Peter left his belo ved scot/and
91
00:08:20,750 --> 00:08:22,877
with faith and trust in his heart
92
00:08:22,961 --> 00:08:27,382
and $50 in his old brown wallet,
he arrived in america.
93
00:08:27,465 --> 00:08:31,052
Now all he had to do was wait
for further instructions from the lord,
94
00:08:31,136 --> 00:08:33,805
or as Peter put it,
”orders from the chief”
95
00:08:33,888 --> 00:08:35,515
almost. Whoa! That's it.
96
00:08:35,598 --> 00:08:38,143
But the chief took his time
in communicating with Peter,
97
00:08:38,226 --> 00:08:40,478
as he frequently does with all of us.
98
00:08:40,562 --> 00:08:44,024
So, while he waited,
Peter worked at a variety of jobs,
99
00:08:44,107 --> 00:08:45,525
finally for an excavating company
100
00:08:45,608 --> 00:08:47,944
d/gging his way across
the state of New Jersey
101
00:08:48,028 --> 00:08:50,363
through the blistering heat
of midsummer
102
00:08:50,447 --> 00:08:55,326
and wondering how all this was
bringing him closer to the ministry
103
00:08:55,410 --> 00:08:58,663
when all seemed futile,
god opened a door...
104
00:08:58,747 --> 00:09:03,084
The door of Columbia theological seminary
in decatur, Georgia,
105
00:09:03,168 --> 00:09:07,088
where four years later
he was graduated summa cum laude.
106
00:09:07,172 --> 00:09:09,507
It's most unusual, Peter,
for a young minister
107
00:09:09,591 --> 00:09:12,093
to begin his career
with a choice of calls.
108
00:09:12,177 --> 00:09:15,555
One of them is highly flattering...
A large church in Atlanta.
109
00:09:15,638 --> 00:09:19,601
Hmm. I am flattered and highly honored.
110
00:09:19,684 --> 00:09:21,686
And what's the other call?
111
00:09:21,770 --> 00:09:24,189
The little town of Covington, Georgia.
112
00:09:25,774 --> 00:09:27,817
You may take a little time, Peter.
113
00:09:27,901 --> 00:09:30,904
Perhaps there's someone with whom
you'd like to talk it over.
114
00:09:33,531 --> 00:09:36,326
Aye, there is, sir. There is indeed.
115
00:09:36,409 --> 00:09:37,786
Hmm.
116
00:09:38,870 --> 00:09:41,956
Peter put the question
squarely before the lord...
117
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,125
Where did he wish him to begin his work?
118
00:09:44,209 --> 00:09:46,795
- J“j“ - The answer came...
119
00:09:46,878 --> 00:09:49,172
The lo vely little town of co vington.
120
00:09:50,215 --> 00:09:53,134
After a joyous ministry in co vington,
121
00:09:53,218 --> 00:09:57,347
Peter received a second call
to the large church in Atlanta,
122
00:09:57,430 --> 00:10:00,100
a church with
an indifferent congregation
123
00:10:00,183 --> 00:10:02,018
and encumbered by debt.
124
00:10:03,228 --> 00:10:08,233
Soon he drew such crowds it was necessary
to build a balcony to accommodate them.
125
00:10:08,316 --> 00:10:10,693
For those still forced to stand outside,
126
00:10:10,777 --> 00:10:14,614
loudspeakers were installed
so that they could hear him preach.
127
00:10:14,697 --> 00:10:17,158
J“j“
128
00:10:17,242 --> 00:10:20,411
Young people came in droves
from the nearby colleges...
129
00:10:20,495 --> 00:10:23,873
Emory oglethorpe,
Georgia tech and Agnes Scott.
130
00:10:23,957 --> 00:10:26,960
I was Catherine wood,
the girl in the tan dress,
131
00:10:27,043 --> 00:10:29,087
a senior at Agnes Scott college.
132
00:10:29,170 --> 00:10:31,172
Oh, miss. Oh, miss, I'm sorry.
133
00:10:31,256 --> 00:10:32,757
It's all right. Thank you.
134
00:10:42,058 --> 00:10:45,520
For two years,
I'd been listening to Peter preach.
135
00:10:45,603 --> 00:10:50,066
For two years, I'd been living
just for Sunday mornings.
136
00:10:50,150 --> 00:10:52,569
Was Peter touched by such de votion?
137
00:10:53,570 --> 00:10:56,364
He didn't know I existed
138
00:10:56,447 --> 00:10:59,033
there are men and women
in the world today
139
00:10:59,117 --> 00:11:02,120
who say that god orders their lives,
140
00:11:02,787 --> 00:11:04,747
guides them in making decisions,
141
00:11:04,831 --> 00:11:07,792
provides for their needs,
answers their prayers
142
00:11:07,876 --> 00:11:11,462
in ways which are often
strange and unexpected.
143
00:11:13,965 --> 00:11:18,052
That is the testimony
of my own experience,
144
00:11:18,136 --> 00:11:21,014
and there are many here who could
make the same statement.
145
00:11:21,097 --> 00:11:24,058
But if you yourself have not had
that experience in your life,
146
00:11:24,142 --> 00:11:26,769
don't be too quick
to jump to the conclusion
147
00:11:26,853 --> 00:11:30,648
that we who say these things
are daft, mad.
148
00:11:30,732 --> 00:11:32,734
In that mood,
149
00:11:32,817 --> 00:11:35,320
many of us approach spiritual things.
150
00:11:35,403 --> 00:11:37,989
We come, like Thomas, not doubting,
151
00:11:38,072 --> 00:11:41,409
but dogmatically refusing
to believe unless we see
152
00:11:41,492 --> 00:11:44,704
as if we could pour god
into a test tube,
153
00:11:44,787 --> 00:11:47,832
as if intangibles
had to become tangible
154
00:11:47,916 --> 00:11:50,752
in order to pro ve
that they were intangible.
155
00:11:51,753 --> 00:11:56,841
There are certain things
that must be approached in faith...
156
00:11:56,925 --> 00:12:00,094
Things that are matters of perception,
157
00:12:00,178 --> 00:12:02,180
not of proof.
158
00:12:03,306 --> 00:12:05,266
Beauty is one of them.
159
00:12:05,350 --> 00:12:08,811
How can you prove
that anything is beautiful?
160
00:12:08,895 --> 00:12:12,565
Could you demonstrate to me
by logic or reason or by intellect
161
00:12:12,649 --> 00:12:17,362
that the fifth symphony or
the "moonlight sonata" were sheer beauty?
162
00:12:17,445 --> 00:12:20,031
Can you prove by any method
of intellect
163
00:12:20,114 --> 00:12:22,951
why a sunset is beautiful?
164
00:12:23,034 --> 00:12:26,412
Describe to me scientifically
165
00:12:26,496 --> 00:12:29,332
the haunting, wistful fragrance
166
00:12:30,333 --> 00:12:32,252
of a bunch of violets.
167
00:12:32,335 --> 00:12:34,963
Yet you come here professing the faith
168
00:12:35,046 --> 00:12:39,801
which for more than 19 centuries
has borne witness to spiritual realities
169
00:12:39,884 --> 00:12:43,096
and you ask if one can prove
that god exists!
170
00:12:43,179 --> 00:12:45,431
You ask me to prove it.
171
00:12:45,515 --> 00:12:48,768
How could my tiny mind prove god?
172
00:12:48,851 --> 00:12:51,980
What kind of a god
could my little mind prove?
173
00:12:52,063 --> 00:12:55,316
You might as well ask the bird to prove
the air in which it flies
174
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:58,569
or the minnow to prove
the sea in which it swims.
175
00:13:01,322 --> 00:13:05,827
Let me ask you to prove that you exist.
176
00:13:08,037 --> 00:13:10,290
I'd be interested in hearing you try.
177
00:13:11,833 --> 00:13:14,002
There are mysteries all around us...
178
00:13:14,085 --> 00:13:16,796
Stirring, wonderful, inexplicable.
179
00:13:16,879 --> 00:13:21,467
Take, for example,
the strange phenomenon of falling in love.
180
00:13:21,551 --> 00:13:25,805
Have you ever asked the question,
"how will I know when I fall in love?"
181
00:13:25,888 --> 00:13:27,807
I have.
182
00:13:27,890 --> 00:13:30,393
I've asked it of blondes and brunettes,
183
00:13:30,476 --> 00:13:33,855
of redheads and of bald heads...
Of people everywhere.
184
00:13:33,938 --> 00:13:37,608
And the strange thing is, I've always
received the same answer, namely,
185
00:13:39,444 --> 00:13:42,822
"don't worry, brother. You'll know."
186
00:13:45,241 --> 00:13:47,410
Love, like beauty,
187
00:13:48,619 --> 00:13:52,290
like the haunting,
wistful fragrance of violets,
188
00:13:52,373 --> 00:13:57,128
is a matter of perception
and experience, not of proof.
189
00:13:57,211 --> 00:14:00,006
The great things
by which we really live
190
00:14:00,089 --> 00:14:02,342
are not proven by logic
191
00:14:03,426 --> 00:14:04,927
but by life.
192
00:14:06,554 --> 00:14:10,558
And as that is true of love and beauty,
193
00:14:12,018 --> 00:14:15,646
so it is true of finding god
194
00:14:17,065 --> 00:14:20,276
and learning how close he stands to us.
195
00:14:22,987 --> 00:14:24,489
Let us pray.
196
00:14:27,075 --> 00:14:29,577
J“j“
197
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:52,058
It was a fine sermon.
We thoroughly enjoyed it.
198
00:14:52,141 --> 00:14:54,936
Dr. Marshall, as always,
you were simply superb,
199
00:14:55,019 --> 00:14:58,398
- but Mary has something to say.
- Yes.
200
00:15:13,996 --> 00:15:16,791
Yes, it is an interesting
and worthwhile idea,
201
00:15:16,874 --> 00:15:18,626
and we'd be delighted to cooperate.
202
00:15:18,709 --> 00:15:20,628
Good-bye, Dr. Marshall.
203
00:15:20,711 --> 00:15:24,132
Don't mean to eavesdrop, miss Hopkins,
but I couldn't help overhearin'.
204
00:15:24,215 --> 00:15:26,384
- That was Dr. Marshall, wasn't it?
- Yes, Emma.
205
00:15:26,467 --> 00:15:30,179
He'd like to borrow one of our girls
for a few hours Saturday afternoon.
206
00:15:30,263 --> 00:15:32,432
- What's that?
- She'll be one of four students
207
00:15:32,515 --> 00:15:35,101
speaking at a youth rally
at Mason corners.
208
00:15:35,184 --> 00:15:37,270
District has a serious problem...
209
00:15:37,353 --> 00:15:39,480
Bootleggers enjoying a holiday
210
00:15:39,564 --> 00:15:41,649
peddling their poison liquor
to young people.
211
00:15:41,732 --> 00:15:44,986
Hmm. Mere teenagers
their best customers too.
212
00:15:45,862 --> 00:15:47,989
- I wonder if...
- Miss Hopkins.
213
00:15:48,072 --> 00:15:51,075
Don't go any further. Don't go searching
through that list no further.
214
00:15:51,159 --> 00:15:54,662
There's just one girl...
Just absolutely one who'll fill the bill.
215
00:15:54,745 --> 00:15:57,498
Pretty, but not gaudy.
Smart and not show-offy.
216
00:15:57,582 --> 00:15:59,959
Talks good. Nice manners.
217
00:16:00,668 --> 00:16:04,380
It was one of those
rare and wonderful moments
218
00:16:04,464 --> 00:16:08,301
when what seems too good
to be true is true.
219
00:16:08,384 --> 00:16:11,304
Peter Marshall was calling for me.
220
00:16:11,387 --> 00:16:14,307
A student from Emory was bringing
a girl from oglethorpe
221
00:16:14,390 --> 00:16:17,435
and a fullback from Georgia tech
was coming by himself
222
00:16:17,518 --> 00:16:20,188
Peter would disco ver me
among the magnolias
223
00:16:20,271 --> 00:16:22,857
reading sonnets from the Portuguese.
224
00:16:22,940 --> 00:16:26,027
Then it would be Peter and I
driving alone together.
225
00:16:26,110 --> 00:16:28,738
Perhaps when we return from the rally,
226
00:16:28,821 --> 00:16:33,659
the n/ght would be one of those blowy,
mysterious n/ghts lalways love so much.
227
00:16:33,743 --> 00:16:37,205
And Mason corners was 50 miles away
228
00:16:40,291 --> 00:16:41,667
Miss wood!
229
00:16:58,059 --> 00:17:00,370
- How do you do, miss wood?
- Good afternoon, Dr. Marshall.
230
00:17:00,394 --> 00:17:03,105
Ah. And this is miss standish,
our pianist.
231
00:17:03,189 --> 00:17:06,359
How do you do?
232
00:17:06,442 --> 00:17:07,443
Hello.
233
00:17:34,804 --> 00:17:37,223
On the way back, you'll be
more comfortable, miss wood.
234
00:17:38,432 --> 00:17:40,935
Our boy from Georgia tech
will drive you home.
235
00:17:51,821 --> 00:17:54,615
Hey, Willie! Save us a seat, will ya?
236
00:17:54,699 --> 00:17:56,117
Okay!
237
00:18:03,916 --> 00:18:08,004
Now, the good ladies of Mason corners
have arranged this gathering
238
00:18:08,087 --> 00:18:10,381
for a serious purpose...
A Christian purpose.
239
00:18:11,382 --> 00:18:13,843
But whoever said
that christianity can't be fun
240
00:18:13,926 --> 00:18:15,928
or that fun can't be Christian?
241
00:18:16,012 --> 00:18:19,098
Whoever said that the lord
liked a long face?
242
00:18:19,181 --> 00:18:22,435
He likes us to laugh and enjoy ourselves
and enjoy living,
243
00:18:22,518 --> 00:18:24,312
and that's just what
we're going to do here.
244
00:18:24,395 --> 00:18:26,564
So to break the ice,
245
00:18:26,647 --> 00:18:28,983
supposing we start with a song...
246
00:18:29,066 --> 00:18:30,151
What'll it be?
247
00:18:31,527 --> 00:18:33,946
How about "tattooed Rosie
from New Orleans"?
248
00:18:38,284 --> 00:18:40,286
Well, I... I'm afraid I don't know "Rosie,"
249
00:18:40,369 --> 00:18:43,164
but how would it be
if I sang you an old Scottish song?
250
00:18:46,667 --> 00:18:48,669
Down in front!
251
00:18:48,753 --> 00:18:51,672
Well, maybe after
the serious business is through
252
00:18:51,756 --> 00:18:53,883
we'll feel more like singing.
253
00:18:53,966 --> 00:18:58,095
Now, the sign at the entrance
advertises me as a speaker.
254
00:18:58,179 --> 00:19:01,057
Well, I have a surprise for you.
I'm not going to speak.
255
00:19:01,140 --> 00:19:02,600
Good!
256
00:19:05,978 --> 00:19:08,689
You're right. This is
a young people's meeting,
257
00:19:08,773 --> 00:19:11,525
and you're going to hear
the ideas of young people.
258
00:19:11,609 --> 00:19:15,529
So first, that nice young girl,
Jane Whitney,
259
00:19:15,613 --> 00:19:17,573
from oglethorpe university.
260
00:19:17,657 --> 00:19:20,242
Come up, Jane.
261
00:19:20,326 --> 00:19:23,663
Dr. Marshall, I can't. I just can't!
262
00:19:24,747 --> 00:19:27,124
Don't worry, Dr. Marshall.
I'll take care of her.
263
00:19:28,709 --> 00:19:31,420
- Uh, you come up, Bruce.
- Not me, Dr. Marshall.
264
00:19:31,504 --> 00:19:33,923
I plumb forgot my speech.
265
00:19:40,137 --> 00:19:43,182
Well, I've certainly laid an egg.
266
00:19:43,265 --> 00:19:45,226
Dr. Marshall, you're forgetting me.
267
00:19:45,309 --> 00:19:48,062
Oh, no, miss wood. Now, it's no use.
They'll not listen.
268
00:19:55,319 --> 00:19:59,448
If that's because I'm a girl,
thank you, boys.
269
00:19:59,532 --> 00:20:03,703
And now, if you'll let me,
I'd like to talk, as a girl,
270
00:20:03,786 --> 00:20:06,247
to the girls here this afternoon.
271
00:20:06,330 --> 00:20:09,250
I know if you boys will listen,
they'll listen too.
272
00:20:09,333 --> 00:20:11,752
And I'm just as sure
that the only reason
273
00:20:11,836 --> 00:20:14,171
they've been just as rude and silly
as you've been
274
00:20:14,255 --> 00:20:18,259
is because they have the mistaken idea
that you wanted them to be.
275
00:20:19,093 --> 00:20:24,265
I never thought much about being a girl
276
00:20:24,348 --> 00:20:26,600
until two years ago
277
00:20:26,684 --> 00:20:31,188
when I learned from a man what
a wonderful thing it is to be a woman.
278
00:20:33,858 --> 00:20:36,777
Until that Sunday morning,
279
00:20:36,861 --> 00:20:40,614
I'd considered myself lucky to be living
in the 20th century,
280
00:20:40,698 --> 00:20:44,368
the century of progress
and emancipation,
281
00:20:44,452 --> 00:20:49,165
the century when supposedly
we women came into our own.
282
00:20:50,332 --> 00:20:52,334
But I'd forgotten
283
00:20:52,418 --> 00:20:57,339
that the emancipation of woman
really began with christianity,
284
00:20:57,423 --> 00:21:00,551
when a girl... a very young girl...
285
00:21:00,634 --> 00:21:04,013
Received the greatest honor in history.
286
00:21:04,096 --> 00:21:08,100
She was chosen to be the mother
of the savior of the world.
287
00:21:08,184 --> 00:21:11,979
And when her son grew up
and began to teach his way of life,
288
00:21:12,062 --> 00:21:15,858
he ushered woman into a new place
in human relations.
289
00:21:15,941 --> 00:21:20,321
He accorded her a dignity
she'd never known before
290
00:21:20,404 --> 00:21:24,658
and crowned her with such glory
that down through the ages
291
00:21:24,742 --> 00:21:27,828
she was revered, protected and loved.
292
00:21:27,912 --> 00:21:30,831
Men wanted to think of her
as different from themselves...
293
00:21:30,915 --> 00:21:35,586
Better, made of finer, more delicate Clay.
294
00:21:36,962 --> 00:21:40,341
It remained for the 20th century,
295
00:21:40,424 --> 00:21:42,802
the century of progress,
296
00:21:42,885 --> 00:21:45,596
to pull her down from her throne.
297
00:21:45,679 --> 00:21:47,932
She wanted equality.
298
00:21:48,015 --> 00:21:51,769
For 1,900 years, she had not been equal.
299
00:21:51,852 --> 00:21:54,480
She had been superior.
300
00:21:54,563 --> 00:21:59,193
To stand equal with men,
naturally she had to step down.
301
00:22:00,277 --> 00:22:03,030
Now, being equal with men,
302
00:22:03,113 --> 00:22:06,116
she has won all their rights
and privileges...
303
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:09,703
The right to get drunk,
the right to swear,
304
00:22:09,787 --> 00:22:13,707
the right to smoke,
the right to work like a man,
305
00:22:13,791 --> 00:22:16,836
to think like a man, to act like a man.
306
00:22:16,919 --> 00:22:18,838
We've won all this,
307
00:22:18,921 --> 00:22:22,132
but how can we feel so triumphant
308
00:22:22,216 --> 00:22:25,886
when men no longer feel
as romantic about us
309
00:22:25,970 --> 00:22:28,556
as they did about our grandmothers,
310
00:22:28,639 --> 00:22:32,601
when we've lost something
sweet and mysterious,
311
00:22:32,685 --> 00:22:36,689
something as... as hard to describe as...
312
00:22:36,772 --> 00:22:40,317
As the haunting,
wistful fragrance of violets?
313
00:22:41,402 --> 00:22:45,865
Of course, these aren't
my original thoughts.
314
00:22:45,948 --> 00:22:49,243
They are the thoughts
I heard that Sunday morning.
315
00:22:49,326 --> 00:22:53,581
But from them,
some thoughts of my own were born
316
00:22:53,664 --> 00:22:55,749
and the conclusion reached
317
00:22:55,833 --> 00:23:00,087
that somewhere along the line,
we women got off the track.
318
00:23:01,130 --> 00:23:03,424
Poets have become immortal
319
00:23:03,507 --> 00:23:07,928
by remembering on paper a girl's smile.
320
00:23:08,012 --> 00:23:13,559
But I've never read a poem rhapsodizing
over a girl's giggles at a smuttyjoke.
321
00:23:13,642 --> 00:23:15,185
Or I've never heard a man brag
322
00:23:15,269 --> 00:23:19,023
that his sweetheart or his wife
could drink just as much as he
323
00:23:19,106 --> 00:23:20,900
and become just as intoxicated.
324
00:23:20,983 --> 00:23:22,943
I've never heard a man say
325
00:23:23,027 --> 00:23:26,822
that a girl's mouth was prettier
with a cigarette hanging out of it
326
00:23:26,906 --> 00:23:30,075
or that her hair smelled divinely
of stale tobacco.
327
00:23:40,336 --> 00:23:42,630
I'm afraid that's all I have to say.
328
00:23:43,380 --> 00:23:45,674
I've never made a speech before.
329
00:23:49,803 --> 00:23:53,223
Right on top of that, we've got to have
a song. Let's make it a good one.
330
00:23:54,391 --> 00:23:56,352
J“ oh, that old time rel/gion j“
331
00:23:56,435 --> 00:23:58,437
j“ oh, that old time rel/gion j“
332
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:01,023
j“ oh, that old time rel/gion j“
333
00:24:01,106 --> 00:24:02,608
J“ its good enough for me j“
334
00:24:02,691 --> 00:24:04,985
j“ it was good enough for ll/loses j“
335
00:24:05,069 --> 00:24:07,196
j“ it was good enough for ll/loses j“
336
00:24:07,279 --> 00:24:09,323
j“ it was good enough for ll/loses j“
337
00:24:09,406 --> 00:24:11,367
j“ and its good enough for me j“
338
00:24:11,450 --> 00:24:13,535
j“ it was good enough for Daniel j“
339
00:24:13,619 --> 00:24:15,746
j“ it was good enough for Daniel j“
340
00:24:15,829 --> 00:24:17,873
j“ it was good enough for Daniel j“
341
00:24:17,957 --> 00:24:20,084
j“ and its good enough for me j“
342
00:24:20,167 --> 00:24:22,419
j“ oh, that old time rel/gion j“
343
00:24:22,503 --> 00:24:24,546
j“ oh, that old time rel/gion j“
344
00:24:24,630 --> 00:24:28,676
j“ oh, that old time rel/gion
its good enough for me j“
345
00:24:28,759 --> 00:24:30,928
j“ oh, that old time rel/gion j“
346
00:24:31,011 --> 00:24:33,180
j“ oh, that old time rel/gion j“
347
00:24:33,263 --> 00:24:35,516
j“ oh, that old time rel/gion j“
348
00:24:35,599 --> 00:24:38,102
j“ its good enough for me j“j“
349
00:24:43,691 --> 00:24:47,361
I want you to know that I was never more
impressed in my life, or more flattered,
350
00:24:47,444 --> 00:24:49,571
that a young girl like you,
with all her interests,
351
00:24:49,655 --> 00:24:51,532
should be able to remember
almost word for word
352
00:24:51,615 --> 00:24:53,993
- a sermon she'd heard over two years ago.
- Oh.
353
00:24:54,618 --> 00:24:57,162
Mind you, it was your own ideas
that really turned the tide.
354
00:24:58,622 --> 00:25:01,709
It'd be very interesting to know
what else is in that nice mind of yours.
355
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:05,546
That's the wonderful discovery
I've made about southern girls.
356
00:25:05,629 --> 00:25:07,840
The cake is almost finer
than the frosting.
357
00:25:08,924 --> 00:25:13,554
Well, then we southern girls should be
very grateful to your fiancée.
358
00:25:13,637 --> 00:25:15,973
My fiancée? Who might she be?
359
00:25:16,056 --> 00:25:19,309
Well, there's been talk on campus that...
That she's an Atlanta girl.
360
00:25:19,393 --> 00:25:22,312
Definitely not, and I'd be very glad
if you'd correct the rumor.
361
00:25:22,396 --> 00:25:26,400
As a matter of fact,
I do recall hearing it contradicted.
362
00:25:26,483 --> 00:25:29,069
Someone said you were really
engaged to a Scottish girl.
363
00:25:29,153 --> 00:25:30,404
No, that's equally untrue.
364
00:25:30,487 --> 00:25:33,907
Why is everybody always tryin'
to force me into matrimony?
365
00:25:33,991 --> 00:25:35,492
I'll marry when I'm good and ready.
366
00:25:36,368 --> 00:25:39,371
I'm good enough now,
but I'm not ready.
367
00:25:39,455 --> 00:25:43,250
If I can wait for the lord to pick out
my wife, why can't anyone else?
368
00:25:43,333 --> 00:25:45,836
- The lord's going to do that?
- Why, certainly.
369
00:25:47,129 --> 00:25:50,382
You mean, he'll pick you out for her too?
370
00:25:50,466 --> 00:25:54,053
Naturally. Don't you expect him
to do as much for you?
371
00:25:57,347 --> 00:25:58,974
Perhaps he has already.
372
00:25:59,058 --> 00:26:02,519
- Oh.
- Well, if he hasn't, he will.
373
00:26:03,812 --> 00:26:06,231
J“ oh, that old time rel/gion j“
374
00:26:25,250 --> 00:26:28,170
Tomorrow I'm going to call the Dean
of Agnes Scott college
375
00:26:28,253 --> 00:26:30,923
and tell her she's a woman
of real discernment.
376
00:26:32,299 --> 00:26:34,718
Strange I never noticed you
in church before.
377
00:26:34,802 --> 00:26:38,514
- Why?
- Well, even a minister has eyes.
378
00:26:40,682 --> 00:26:44,394
I know it's awfully late,
but somehow I hate to say good night.
379
00:26:45,896 --> 00:26:49,691
Finding someone else that thinks like you
do always puts me in mind of two ships
380
00:26:49,775 --> 00:26:52,111
flashing their lights in a lonely sea.
381
00:26:52,194 --> 00:26:54,154
They may be putting into different ports,
382
00:26:54,238 --> 00:26:56,281
but for a moment they knew
one another was there.
383
00:27:00,410 --> 00:27:03,872
- Would you mind if I called you sometime?
- Oh, no.
384
00:27:03,956 --> 00:27:06,542
We could, um, have dinner and see a movie.
385
00:27:06,625 --> 00:27:07,960
Yes.
386
00:27:11,338 --> 00:27:13,257
Certainly, one... one night next week.
387
00:27:16,969 --> 00:27:19,138
I'll, um... I'll call you.
388
00:27:23,267 --> 00:27:26,019
- Good night, Catherine.
- Good night, Dr. Marshall.
389
00:27:28,981 --> 00:27:31,024
Good night, Peter.
390
00:27:33,277 --> 00:27:35,154
Good night, Peter darling.
391
00:27:41,034 --> 00:27:44,538
One long week of stony silence...
392
00:27:44,621 --> 00:27:46,456
Li/londa y, Tuesday,
393
00:27:46,540 --> 00:27:48,834
Wednesday, Thursday,
394
00:27:48,917 --> 00:27:51,170
Friday, Saturday
395
00:27:51,253 --> 00:27:54,715
the longest, unhappiest week of m y life.
396
00:27:54,798 --> 00:27:59,595
Iha ve come to the conclusion that I place
Dr. Ll/larshall on too lofl'y a pedestal
397
00:27:59,678 --> 00:28:03,599
and that the time has come
to make a clean, deep cut.
398
00:28:03,682 --> 00:28:08,770
A b/g black period marks
the end of an unhappy interlude.
399
00:28:08,854 --> 00:28:11,857
I begin tomorrow by going
to another church.
400
00:28:13,483 --> 00:28:17,404
Marriage is not a federation
of two sovereign states.
401
00:28:17,487 --> 00:28:22,743
It's a union... domestic, social,
spiritual and physical.
402
00:28:22,826 --> 00:28:28,165
It's the fusion of two hearts,
the coming together of two tributaries
403
00:28:28,248 --> 00:28:31,376
which, after being joined in marriage,
404
00:28:31,460 --> 00:28:34,087
will flow in the same channel,
in the same direction
405
00:28:34,171 --> 00:28:38,217
carrying the same burdens
of responsibility and obligation.
406
00:28:39,343 --> 00:28:42,221
Marriage is a oneness,
407
00:28:43,222 --> 00:28:45,307
divine and indivisible.
408
00:28:46,141 --> 00:28:47,785
Peter went on with his sermon
409
00:28:47,809 --> 00:28:49,937
about the holy institution of marriage,
410
00:28:50,020 --> 00:28:52,022
or in Peters colorful phrasing,
411
00:28:52,105 --> 00:28:54,858
”the halls of h/ghest human happiness. ”
412
00:28:54,942 --> 00:28:58,320
But all / kept hearing
0 ver and o ver was,
413
00:28:58,403 --> 00:29:02,491
”marriage is a oneness,
divine and indivisible. ”
414
00:29:02,574 --> 00:29:04,826
- J“j“ - Aren't you with us?
415
00:29:04,910 --> 00:29:10,499
Miss wood. Green eyes, brown hair,
tan dress... "Ridiculous little hat."
416
00:29:10,582 --> 00:29:13,585
He doesn't miss much, does he? I'm
Ruby Coleman, Dr. Marshall's secretary.
417
00:29:13,669 --> 00:29:16,296
How do you do? If it won't interfere
with any previous plans,
418
00:29:16,380 --> 00:29:19,299
he'd like to have you wait a few minutes
and then he'll drive you back.
419
00:29:21,969 --> 00:29:24,471
That's very nice of you, miss wood.
He needs the fresh air.
420
00:29:24,554 --> 00:29:26,473
Oh, then he's been sick.
421
00:29:26,556 --> 00:29:29,142
Him? If he felt any better,
I think he'd explode.
422
00:29:35,816 --> 00:29:38,503
He didn't bother
to explain why he hadn't called
423
00:29:38,527 --> 00:29:41,905
he only said that when he saw me
in church, it suddenly occurred to him
424
00:29:41,989 --> 00:29:44,825
that it was a beautiful day,
and something should be done about it,
425
00:29:44,908 --> 00:29:46,827
and didn't I agree?
426
00:29:46,910 --> 00:29:49,079
So we drove out to stone mountain.
427
00:29:49,162 --> 00:29:52,499
The man at the curio store
where Peter bought me a souvenir
428
00:29:52,582 --> 00:29:56,336
said that almost e very Sunday
some foo/hardy idiot broke his leg
429
00:29:56,420 --> 00:29:59,339
or got stranded
climbing the mountain.
430
00:29:59,423 --> 00:30:01,049
Did that deter Peter?
431
00:30:02,175 --> 00:30:04,136
Definitely not.
432
00:30:06,471 --> 00:30:08,348
While he climbed down from the mountain,
433
00:30:08,432 --> 00:30:10,892
I rehearsed a dozen
charming little speeches
434
00:30:10,976 --> 00:30:14,479
that would bring us back to where
we left off after the youth rally
435
00:30:14,563 --> 00:30:19,359
but whenever I began one, he would warn me
with what I suppose was Scottish thrifl'
436
00:30:19,443 --> 00:30:21,278
that my ice cream was melting.
437
00:30:25,782 --> 00:30:28,577
Peter took me to dinner
at his favorite restaurant.
438
00:30:28,660 --> 00:30:31,330
I saw the romantic glow of candlel/ght
439
00:30:31,413 --> 00:30:33,540
and I thought, 'at last. ”
440
00:30:33,623 --> 00:30:35,383
- Good evening, Dr. Marshall.
- Good evening.
441
00:30:36,209 --> 00:30:37,711
Thank you.
442
00:30:39,838 --> 00:30:40,839
Thanks.
443
00:30:43,300 --> 00:30:45,302
Have you got a match, Henry?
444
00:30:45,385 --> 00:30:48,138
The food here's the best in Atlanta,
but there's only one drawback.
445
00:30:48,221 --> 00:30:51,725
The gloom's so dense, your fork gets lost
between your plate and your mouth.
446
00:30:54,436 --> 00:30:56,080
Nor can you enjoy
looking at a pretty girl,
447
00:30:56,104 --> 00:30:57,784
if she happens to be sitting opposite you.
448
00:31:08,325 --> 00:31:10,911
I was wondering what you thought
about my sermon this morning.
449
00:31:11,703 --> 00:31:13,848
It's very important to me
that I should know how you feel,
450
00:31:13,872 --> 00:31:15,457
so please be perfectly frank.
451
00:31:17,501 --> 00:31:20,003
"Marriage is the fusion of two hearts,
452
00:31:20,087 --> 00:31:22,422
the coming together of two tributaries,
453
00:31:22,506 --> 00:31:24,674
which, after being joined
together in marriage,
454
00:31:24,758 --> 00:31:26,760
will flow in the same direction
455
00:31:26,843 --> 00:31:30,430
carrying the same burdens
of responsibility and obligation.
456
00:31:32,474 --> 00:31:35,602
Marriage is a oneness,
divine and indivisible."
457
00:31:35,685 --> 00:31:38,397
- Then you did like it.
- Oh, Peter.
458
00:31:39,231 --> 00:31:41,149
Well, that settles it then.
459
00:31:41,233 --> 00:31:43,360
It'll be my talk before
the young people's groups
460
00:31:43,443 --> 00:31:45,278
in Baltimore, Philadelphia, Washington.
461
00:31:46,196 --> 00:31:48,198
- What did you say?
- Oh, didn't I tell you?
462
00:31:48,281 --> 00:31:50,534
I'm leaving tomorrow
on a two-week speaking tour,
463
00:31:50,617 --> 00:31:52,411
but I'll call you the minute I get back.
464
00:31:53,203 --> 00:31:55,664
When you get back, I won't be here.
465
00:31:55,747 --> 00:31:56,998
Why not?
466
00:31:58,083 --> 00:32:00,919
It'll be all over. I'll be graduated.
467
00:32:01,002 --> 00:32:04,089
Oh, how could I have forgotten that?
And you'll be leaving Atlanta?
468
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:07,217
To spend the summer
with my parents in West Virginia.
469
00:32:08,301 --> 00:32:10,137
In the fall, I begin teaching.
470
00:32:11,096 --> 00:32:13,807
Well, I'm sure you'll be a fine teacher.
471
00:32:13,890 --> 00:32:17,269
As I've told you more than once,
you've... you've got a very nice mind.
472
00:32:18,478 --> 00:32:21,982
And know that I'll be wishing you
all good luck and happiness.
473
00:32:22,065 --> 00:32:23,108
Thank you.
474
00:32:24,192 --> 00:32:27,362
And I wish you happiness too...
All the happiness in the world.
475
00:32:32,659 --> 00:32:34,744
What's the matter, child?
476
00:32:35,745 --> 00:32:37,581
What's that man do to you?
477
00:32:38,832 --> 00:32:40,834
I's glad I's a baptist!
478
00:32:40,917 --> 00:32:42,627
I's glad I ain't young!
479
00:32:43,295 --> 00:32:45,755
Glad I just got a seat in the bleachers.
480
00:33:05,108 --> 00:33:08,361
- You lost your hearing or your mind?
- Oh, Emma, go away.
481
00:33:08,445 --> 00:33:11,448
And let that man come charging up here
like a roaring lion?
482
00:33:11,531 --> 00:33:14,284
"That man"? What man?
483
00:33:14,367 --> 00:33:17,954
Stop asking foolish questions
and do something radical to that face.
484
00:33:18,038 --> 00:33:20,207
Oh, Emma. Oh!
485
00:33:25,629 --> 00:33:28,715
You'd better go easy with that, honey.
I got a notion that...
486
00:33:28,798 --> 00:33:30,342
What am I saying?
487
00:33:40,685 --> 00:33:42,687
Oh, I'm a stupid, glaikit lump.
488
00:33:42,771 --> 00:33:45,065
I didn't realize
what a shock this must be.
489
00:33:45,148 --> 00:33:48,318
But god just spun me around
like a top and said,
490
00:33:48,401 --> 00:33:52,322
"Peter, you idiot, don't you see
this is my grandest plan for you?"
491
00:33:57,661 --> 00:34:01,164
Glory, hallelujah!
492
00:34:02,624 --> 00:34:04,876
What's the matter, darling?
493
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:08,088
Oh, Peter, I'm frightened.
494
00:34:08,171 --> 00:34:11,341
Are you sure this is god's will
and not just Catherine wood's?
495
00:34:11,424 --> 00:34:14,594
- I don't know what you mean.
- Of course you don't.
496
00:34:15,512 --> 00:34:17,806
How could you know
that for two years, from the...
497
00:34:17,889 --> 00:34:20,058
From the very first moment I saw you,
498
00:34:20,141 --> 00:34:23,562
I... I've schemed and... and plotted
499
00:34:23,645 --> 00:34:25,897
and dreamed that somehow
this would happen...
500
00:34:25,981 --> 00:34:28,316
That, impossible as it seemed,
501
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:30,318
you'd love me too.
502
00:34:30,402 --> 00:34:33,572
Oh, Catherine, this gets
more and more wonderful.
503
00:34:33,655 --> 00:34:35,657
I'm not sure that it is.
504
00:34:36,700 --> 00:34:39,202
Maybe you never had a chance.
505
00:34:39,286 --> 00:34:43,206
You hear about the power of thought,
about... about willing things to happen,
506
00:34:43,290 --> 00:34:45,584
that... that the mind
is like a magnet and...
507
00:34:45,667 --> 00:34:46,710
Oh, rubbish!
508
00:34:47,419 --> 00:34:53,049
Don't you know that god plants
his own lovely dream in the human heart
509
00:34:53,133 --> 00:34:55,385
and that when the dream is mature
510
00:34:55,468 --> 00:34:58,597
and the time for it
is ripe for its fulfillment,
511
00:34:59,389 --> 00:35:01,766
well, to our astonishment and delight,
512
00:35:01,850 --> 00:35:04,269
his will becomes ours, and ours his?
513
00:35:05,645 --> 00:35:08,982
Now, who but god could've thought
of anything as perfect as this?
514
00:35:16,072 --> 00:35:20,368
Well, I... I'll have
to consult my calendar
515
00:35:20,452 --> 00:35:23,371
and, uh... and, uh, rearrange my plans.
516
00:35:23,455 --> 00:35:27,876
But with christenings and weddings and
speaking dates I'm already committed to,
517
00:35:27,959 --> 00:35:30,920
I don't see how we can get married
till practically the end of the summer.
518
00:35:32,172 --> 00:35:35,342
Does that disturb you, Catherine?
519
00:35:38,428 --> 00:35:41,264
What could ever disturb me again?
520
00:35:51,608 --> 00:35:53,288
It was well into fall
521
00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:55,362
before Peter caught up
with his busy schedule.
522
00:35:55,445 --> 00:35:58,531
We were married in the old family church
in West Virginia
523
00:35:58,615 --> 00:36:01,868
and blissfully set sail
for a Cape Cod honeymoon.
524
00:36:01,951 --> 00:36:04,412
Oh, Catherine,
could anything be finer?
525
00:36:04,496 --> 00:36:06,331
She's a snug little ship.
526
00:36:07,415 --> 00:36:10,001
How long is it going to take us
to get to Cape Cod?
527
00:36:10,085 --> 00:36:11,920
We'll be there in the morning.
528
00:36:13,004 --> 00:36:15,131
I got a whiff from the galley.
I think it's...
529
00:36:15,215 --> 00:36:17,509
Aye, it's roast Turkey.
530
00:36:24,683 --> 00:36:28,937
- Honey, what's the matter?
- I don't know, but I think I'm seasick.
531
00:36:29,020 --> 00:36:31,022
Seasick? You're not. You couldn't be.
532
00:36:31,106 --> 00:36:32,649
I always get seasick.
533
00:36:32,732 --> 00:36:34,693
But there's no such malady.
It's all in your mind.
534
00:36:34,776 --> 00:36:36,903
I couldn't have married
a girl who'd get seasick.
535
00:36:36,986 --> 00:36:40,240
But you did. And what are you going
to do about it?
536
00:36:43,326 --> 00:36:46,454
Oh, the poor girl. She really believes it.
537
00:36:47,372 --> 00:36:50,500
It was the most beautiful of honeymoons.
538
00:36:50,583 --> 00:36:53,503
Peter fell more than ever
in love with the sea,
539
00:36:53,586 --> 00:36:55,714
and / fell in love with it too...
540
00:36:55,797 --> 00:36:57,882
From the proper distance, of course.
541
00:36:58,675 --> 00:37:02,429
Catherine, look! Another one!
542
00:37:04,597 --> 00:37:07,726
- Now will you come out?
- No!
543
00:37:07,809 --> 00:37:09,811
But it's as smooth as glass!
544
00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:17,694
All right then, be stubborn. But no
self-respecting fish will come near you.
545
00:37:20,029 --> 00:37:22,699
- Catherine, your line!
- Ooh!
546
00:37:33,168 --> 00:37:35,754
Now why don't you say something?
547
00:37:36,713 --> 00:37:38,631
Well done, Catherine!
548
00:37:38,715 --> 00:37:40,675
I must've scared it your way.
549
00:37:48,391 --> 00:37:51,644
Oh, good morning, Mr. Briscoe.
Look what I caught.
550
00:37:52,479 --> 00:37:56,191
- Yeah. This came for Dr. Marshall.
- Oh.
551
00:37:56,274 --> 00:37:58,860
They thought at the inn
it might be somethin'.
552
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:02,447
- Thank you.
- Oh, that's all right.
553
00:38:02,530 --> 00:38:05,700
Peter! Telegram!
554
00:38:06,451 --> 00:38:07,869
Open it!
555
00:38:16,795 --> 00:38:19,798
It doesn't make any sense.
I can't understand it.
556
00:38:19,881 --> 00:38:21,466
Why not?
557
00:38:21,549 --> 00:38:25,345
Well, it's... it's from Washington...
Washington, DC.
558
00:38:30,767 --> 00:38:32,894
It says, "manse redecorated
559
00:38:32,977 --> 00:38:34,979
and awaiting you and Mrs. Marshall.
560
00:38:35,063 --> 00:38:37,023
Moving Van arriving tomorrow.
561
00:38:37,106 --> 00:38:40,360
Kindest regards, evanston whiting."
562
00:38:40,443 --> 00:38:42,904
Do you know an evanston whiting?
563
00:38:43,488 --> 00:38:44,989
That's colonel whiting,
564
00:38:46,616 --> 00:38:48,618
president of the board of trustees
565
00:38:48,701 --> 00:38:52,038
of the New York Avenue church,
Washington, DC.
566
00:38:52,121 --> 00:38:54,290
- But what does it mean?
- Now, don't get excited.
567
00:38:54,374 --> 00:38:57,085
I wanted nothing to disturb our honeymoon,
so I didn't tell you.
568
00:38:57,168 --> 00:38:59,087
Tell me what, Peter?
569
00:38:59,170 --> 00:39:02,507
That we're not going back to Atlanta.
We're going to Washington.
570
00:39:02,590 --> 00:39:06,302
All summer long, I've been pondering
a call to the old New York Avenue church...
571
00:39:06,386 --> 00:39:09,889
The church of the presidents...
Abraham Lincoln worshipped there.
572
00:39:09,973 --> 00:39:12,433
- Aren't you pleased?
- Oh, well, who wouldn't be?
573
00:39:12,517 --> 00:39:14,018
Let's go.
574
00:39:43,172 --> 00:39:46,926
Oh, wonderful. Here... put it...
Put it right there. That's fine.
575
00:39:48,177 --> 00:39:49,304
Thank you.
576
00:39:52,557 --> 00:39:53,975
You see, Catherine?
577
00:39:55,018 --> 00:39:57,645
That'll give you an idea
of how cozy it will be.
578
00:39:57,729 --> 00:39:59,981
That's our first call.
579
00:40:05,194 --> 00:40:08,114
- Why don't you answer it?
- Well, I can't find the blasted thing.
580
00:40:08,197 --> 00:40:11,534
Catherine, do something!
581
00:40:12,535 --> 00:40:16,122
Well... oh, here.
582
00:40:16,205 --> 00:40:17,707
Follow this cord.
583
00:40:25,214 --> 00:40:26,299
Hello?
584
00:40:27,383 --> 00:40:29,469
Oh, hello, colonel whiting.
585
00:40:30,887 --> 00:40:33,264
Yes, we're getting along
beautifully. Thank you.
586
00:40:34,933 --> 00:40:37,727
Yes. Yes, I've got it.
587
00:40:40,063 --> 00:40:42,899
All right then.
We'll see you at 8:00 this evening.
588
00:40:42,982 --> 00:40:44,817
Fine. Good-bye.
589
00:40:45,902 --> 00:40:48,029
Peter, you're not letting anyone
come to this house?
590
00:40:48,112 --> 00:40:50,323
Of course not. We're going
to their home for dinner.
591
00:40:50,406 --> 00:40:53,868
Peter, we can't! My hair... it's a mess,
and nothing's unpacked.
592
00:40:53,952 --> 00:40:55,286
There's nothing to worry about.
593
00:40:55,370 --> 00:40:58,410
It's just a friendly evening at colonel
whiting's little farm in the country.
594
00:41:02,418 --> 00:41:03,962
- Good evening.
- Good evening.
595
00:41:06,881 --> 00:41:08,049
May I?
596
00:41:11,344 --> 00:41:14,263
- Who may I announce, please?
- Uh, Dr. and Mrs. Marshall.
597
00:41:14,347 --> 00:41:16,349
Oh. This way, please.
598
00:41:22,939 --> 00:41:24,941
Quaint little farmhouse.
599
00:41:28,945 --> 00:41:30,697
Dr. and Mrs. Marshall.
600
00:41:31,781 --> 00:41:34,033
Dr. and Mrs. Marshall,
601
00:41:34,117 --> 00:41:36,536
welcome to Washington.
602
00:41:37,328 --> 00:41:40,373
This is all my fault. I told
Mrs. Marshall a small, informal dinner.
603
00:41:40,456 --> 00:41:42,417
That's exactly what it is, my dear...
604
00:41:42,500 --> 00:41:44,419
Just our own special little group.
605
00:41:44,502 --> 00:41:48,047
- Please come in. Come in.
- This is our granddaughter Barbara.
606
00:41:48,131 --> 00:41:50,091
- How do you do?
- How do you do, Barbara?
607
00:41:50,174 --> 00:41:54,554
Our new pastor and the lady of the manse.
608
00:41:54,637 --> 00:41:56,639
Uh, an interesting coincidence.
609
00:41:56,723 --> 00:41:59,726
Our first pastor back in those days
was also a scotsman.
610
00:41:59,809 --> 00:42:02,770
He was only 22 when he came to america
and took over the pulpit.
611
00:42:02,854 --> 00:42:05,106
That makes me feel
much less a stranger.
612
00:42:05,189 --> 00:42:07,275
The church had not yet been built.
613
00:42:07,358 --> 00:42:10,236
Services were being held
in the old treasury building
614
00:42:10,319 --> 00:42:12,989
burned by the British in 1812.
615
00:42:13,072 --> 00:42:15,408
Pennsylvania Avenue was a cow path
616
00:42:15,491 --> 00:42:18,745
along which Thomas Jefferson
had planted some poplar trees.
617
00:42:18,828 --> 00:42:20,580
Why, nobody knows.
618
00:42:21,664 --> 00:42:25,918
Coal had just come into use,
but it was too expensive for us,
619
00:42:26,002 --> 00:42:29,589
so Dr. Laurie would come early
every sabbath morning
620
00:42:29,672 --> 00:42:32,967
and start a roaring fire
in the old woodstove.
621
00:42:33,051 --> 00:42:34,594
A real, true scotsman!
622
00:42:34,677 --> 00:42:38,473
And my great-grandfather
supplied the wood.
623
00:42:38,556 --> 00:42:42,268
Also boarded Dr. Laurie without charge.
624
00:42:42,351 --> 00:42:45,021
What a perfectly beautiful heritage.
625
00:42:45,104 --> 00:42:47,899
You know, Dr. Marshall,
you don't look like a minister.
626
00:42:47,982 --> 00:42:51,360
- Barbara, really!
- Well, gran, he doesn't.
627
00:42:51,444 --> 00:42:55,364
Well, that's probably because Dr. Marshall
isn't wearing his clerical collar.
628
00:42:55,448 --> 00:42:58,576
Look, I'm afraid my obvious deficiencies
can't be corrected that easily.
629
00:42:58,659 --> 00:43:00,369
I don't own a clerical collar.
630
00:43:00,453 --> 00:43:02,747
But for the pulpit of
the New York Avenue church,
631
00:43:02,830 --> 00:43:04,457
you're surely going to acquire one.
632
00:43:04,540 --> 00:43:06,334
Positively not, miss Fowler.
633
00:43:06,417 --> 00:43:08,771
I couldn't breathe, let alone preach,
in one of those things.
634
00:43:08,795 --> 00:43:11,214
Oh, Laura, wait till you hear
Dr. Marshall preach.
635
00:43:11,297 --> 00:43:14,967
You won't care
if he doesn't wear any... collar.
636
00:43:17,220 --> 00:43:19,180
Would anyone like more coffee?
637
00:43:20,556 --> 00:43:23,434
You did beautifully tonight.
I was very proud of you.
638
00:43:41,911 --> 00:43:43,579
Now, let's drive by the church.
639
00:43:44,080 --> 00:43:46,457
- At this hour?
- Mm-hmm. It's on our way.
640
00:44:01,264 --> 00:44:04,684
Ah, there it is...
The church of the presidents.
641
00:44:04,767 --> 00:44:06,352
Abraham Lincoln's church.
642
00:44:08,271 --> 00:44:11,023
- We're going in, darling.
- But, Peter, it's past midnight.
643
00:44:11,107 --> 00:44:13,067
There's something I have to see.
I can't wait.
644
00:45:06,495 --> 00:45:09,665
I know a southern girl
shouldn't be impressed, but...
645
00:45:10,583 --> 00:45:12,376
Well, what do you think I feel?
646
00:45:13,169 --> 00:45:16,839
From the coatbridge tube works to
Ellis island to here in only 10 years.
647
00:45:22,803 --> 00:45:25,723
Now, will you please take your place
in the pastor's pew?
648
00:45:33,731 --> 00:45:37,068
That's what I had to see...
How you look while I'm preaching.
649
00:45:37,652 --> 00:45:40,154
Always be there, darling.
650
00:45:43,741 --> 00:45:47,411
God had some wonderful plan
when he sent us here.
651
00:45:47,495 --> 00:45:49,163
Don't you feel it, Catherine?
652
00:45:51,582 --> 00:45:53,626
Let's pray that
we never let him down,
653
00:45:54,710 --> 00:45:57,630
that we serve him
in this beloved old church
654
00:45:57,713 --> 00:46:01,050
in this great city of Washington
according to his will.
655

672
00:47:08,784 --> 00:47:14,915
j“ his equal j“
673
00:47:14,999 --> 00:47:20,963
j“ amen j“j“
674
00:47:32,641 --> 00:47:34,602
It has been said
675
00:47:34,685 --> 00:47:37,855
that a new minister's first sermon,
676
00:47:37,938 --> 00:47:40,399
while he is still strange
to his congregation
677
00:47:40,483 --> 00:47:43,486
and his congregation is strange to him,
678
00:47:43,569 --> 00:47:46,947
frequently has far-reaching repercussions.
679
00:47:48,240 --> 00:47:51,911
You have your ideas
of what your pastor should be
680
00:47:51,994 --> 00:47:55,164
and your pastor has his ideas
of what your church should be.
681
00:47:57,333 --> 00:48:01,253
I have come, practically as a stranger
682
00:48:01,337 --> 00:48:03,381
to this imposing old church,
683
00:48:03,464 --> 00:48:06,926
a church whose history is almost
as old as this country,
684
00:48:07,635 --> 00:48:13,182
a church whose traditions and legends
I respect and find thrilling and exciting.
685
00:48:13,265 --> 00:48:18,187
Now, history and tradition
and legends are fine.
686
00:48:18,270 --> 00:48:20,272
We couldn't live without the past,
687
00:48:20,356 --> 00:48:23,401
but past glory has never
been enough for a nation
688
00:48:23,484 --> 00:48:25,528
or a church or even an individual.
689
00:48:25,611 --> 00:48:29,407
There's always the all-important now
and the more important future.
690
00:48:31,033 --> 00:48:36,330
I look out this morning
on a church not even half-filled.
691
00:48:36,414 --> 00:48:40,209
Now, this in no way injures
my personal pride, my vanity.
692
00:48:40,292 --> 00:48:44,380
I'm not here to recruit fans for a fellow
named Peter Marshall.
693
00:48:44,463 --> 00:48:46,799
Nor am I here to sell anything.
694
00:48:46,882 --> 00:48:49,593
That which we call salvation...
695
00:48:49,677 --> 00:48:52,972
And a most comprehensive term
it is... is a free gift.
696
00:48:53,055 --> 00:48:55,683
You can't buy it. Neither can you earn it.
697
00:48:55,766 --> 00:48:59,603
It's not a reward dangling before
the Christian like a carrot before a mule.
698
00:48:59,687 --> 00:49:02,731
It's not something
that the church has to peddle.
699
00:49:02,815 --> 00:49:05,151
And probably no idea hurts me more
700
00:49:05,234 --> 00:49:07,278
than suggesting that I am a salesman
701
00:49:07,361 --> 00:49:10,239
endeavoring to sell people
on the idea of religion.
702
00:49:10,322 --> 00:49:12,283
I resent it bitterly.
703
00:49:12,366 --> 00:49:15,411
Religion is not for sale. It's given away.
704
00:49:15,494 --> 00:49:17,371
So today,
705
00:49:17,455 --> 00:49:20,416
as I start my ministry
in this hallowed old church,
706
00:49:20,499 --> 00:49:22,501
I think it only fair to explain
707
00:49:22,585 --> 00:49:24,962
that it isn't the church or religion
708
00:49:25,045 --> 00:49:27,631
that I'm trying to present, but Christ.
709
00:49:27,715 --> 00:49:30,968
Not the pale, anemic, namby-pamby Jesus...
710
00:49:31,051 --> 00:49:33,012
The gentle Jesus, meek and mild...
711
00:49:33,095 --> 00:49:35,097
But the Christ of the gospels
712
00:49:35,181 --> 00:49:38,517
striding up and down
the dusty miles of Palestine,
713
00:49:38,601 --> 00:49:41,312
suntanned, bronzed, fearless,
714
00:49:41,395 --> 00:49:43,856
the knuckles big
in his carpenter's hands...
715
00:49:43,939 --> 00:49:46,108
The Christ who upset the moneylenders...
716
00:49:46,192 --> 00:49:48,360
The Christ who had
a good time at weddings,
717
00:49:48,444 --> 00:49:52,114
and who would not allow his host to be
embarrassed by running short of wine...
718
00:49:52,198 --> 00:49:54,783
The Christ who loved people...
All kinds of people,
719
00:49:54,867 --> 00:49:57,244
but particularly red-blooded folk,
720
00:49:57,328 --> 00:49:59,830
for he himself was red-blooded...
721
00:49:59,914 --> 00:50:01,832
The Christ who called a spade a spade
722
00:50:01,916 --> 00:50:04,376
and who let the chips fall
where they might.
723
00:50:04,460 --> 00:50:08,380
Not the Jesus of the perfumed cloisters
of pious sentiment,
724
00:50:08,464 --> 00:50:12,885
but the man who walked the streets
of the city, stopping here and there
725
00:50:12,968 --> 00:50:16,096
to pass the time of day in places where
you and I could not afford to be seen
726
00:50:16,180 --> 00:50:17,932
and getting a huge kick out of it!
727
00:50:19,892 --> 00:50:21,560
Let us be honest.
728
00:50:22,144 --> 00:50:26,440
Let us recognize that the kind of people
that Christ liked best
729
00:50:26,524 --> 00:50:29,527
were not the kind that the average church
appeals to at all.
730
00:50:29,610 --> 00:50:33,697
Think of the people whom he personally
invited to be his friends.
731
00:50:33,781 --> 00:50:36,867
Peter and Andrew, James and John...
Fish merchants.
732
00:50:37,660 --> 00:50:41,121
Zacchaeus and Matthew...
Unpopular tax collectors.
733
00:50:41,205 --> 00:50:45,125
Saul of tarsus... an aristocrat,
a persecutor of the church.
734
00:50:46,126 --> 00:50:49,255
Mary magdalena... once a prostitute.
735
00:50:49,338 --> 00:50:52,758
Joanna, wife of herod's chancellor...
736
00:50:52,841 --> 00:50:55,261
A so-called society woman.
737
00:50:55,928 --> 00:50:58,264
There are... I'm sure... in Washington
738
00:50:58,347 --> 00:51:00,808
countless people who fall
into just this category.
739
00:51:00,891 --> 00:51:03,143
We cannot afford to be
indifferent to them.
740
00:51:03,227 --> 00:51:06,605
We must invite the sophisticates,
the irreligious,
741
00:51:06,689 --> 00:51:08,816
the lost and the lonely.
742
00:51:08,899 --> 00:51:12,278
We must extend to them our fellowship
and introduce them to Christ.
743
00:51:12,361 --> 00:51:14,321
That is our business, nothing else.
744
00:51:14,405 --> 00:51:17,741
For Christ likes people,
all kinds of strange people,
745
00:51:17,825 --> 00:51:20,536
people whom we might have
to think twice about before cultivating.
746
00:51:20,619 --> 00:51:24,290
He wants them.
He enjoys their life and vigor.
747
00:51:24,373 --> 00:51:26,667
He wants to hear laughter, a joke,
748
00:51:27,293 --> 00:51:28,627
if it's a good one.
749
00:51:30,588 --> 00:51:33,799
A man of sorrows and acquainted
with grief, that he was.
750
00:51:33,882 --> 00:51:36,760
But it was in order
that ourjoy might be full.
751
00:51:36,844 --> 00:51:38,762
That is the Christ that I know.
752
00:51:38,846 --> 00:51:42,474
That is the Christ that I would have dwell
in this historic old church,
753
00:51:42,558 --> 00:51:46,645
his big carpenter's hands
stretched out in welcome.
754
00:51:52,943 --> 00:51:54,236
Let us pray.
755
00:51:58,282 --> 00:52:00,784
A most auspicious beginning,
Dr. Marshall. Most auspicious.
756
00:52:00,868 --> 00:52:03,621
Thank you very much.
757
00:52:06,540 --> 00:52:09,001
You surely gave us
something to think about.
758
00:52:09,084 --> 00:52:10,645
Thank you very much.
How are you, Barbara?
759
00:52:10,669 --> 00:52:13,172
Back in the fold.
You just brought in your first sheep.
760
00:52:13,255 --> 00:52:15,255
Barbara, whatever in the world
do you mean by that?
761
00:52:15,299 --> 00:52:17,301
This child's gone to church all her life.
762
00:52:17,384 --> 00:52:20,012
Just like I go to the dentist...
Every six months.
763
00:52:20,095 --> 00:52:22,973
You know, the other night,
I knew you were different.
764
00:52:23,057 --> 00:52:25,851
Now I know you're just the greatest,
and I'm spreading the word.
765
00:52:25,934 --> 00:52:27,353
Thank you, Barbara.
766
00:52:28,062 --> 00:52:31,482
Good morning, miss Fowler.
How are you, Mrs. Peyton?
767
00:52:31,565 --> 00:52:33,692
Dr. Marshall, you've simply
got to do something.
768
00:52:33,776 --> 00:52:35,736
Laura... miss Fowler's frightfully upset.
769
00:52:35,819 --> 00:52:37,821
Aye. So I gathered.
Could you tell me why?
770
00:52:37,905 --> 00:52:40,824
It all started the other night really...
You know, about the collar?
771
00:52:40,908 --> 00:52:43,202
And then this morning
just added fuel to the flames.
772
00:52:43,285 --> 00:52:45,445
- How do you mean?
- Well, it was mostly little things,
773
00:52:45,496 --> 00:52:47,498
like making the lord seem almost common
774
00:52:47,581 --> 00:52:51,126
and calling a spade a spade
and letting the chips fall.
775
00:52:51,210 --> 00:52:52,544
- Is that all?
- Oh, dear.
776
00:52:52,628 --> 00:52:54,129
Maybe I shouldn't have spoken to you.
777
00:52:54,213 --> 00:52:58,384
Please don't be upset or hurt,
but she thinks that you, an immigrant,
778
00:52:58,467 --> 00:53:01,387
have no right to invite just anybody
into New York Avenue.
779
00:53:01,470 --> 00:53:04,598
I can't stay. She might imagine that you
and I have been talking about her.
780
00:53:07,476 --> 00:53:11,063
I'm one who came uninvited, Dr. Marshall,
and I liked your sermon,
781
00:53:11,146 --> 00:53:13,691
particularly the way
the chips fell where they might.
782
00:53:13,774 --> 00:53:15,693
That's very kind of you, sir.
783
00:53:15,776 --> 00:53:17,695
To a stranger from the middle west,
784
00:53:17,778 --> 00:53:20,739
this old church and all that goes with it
is very exciting.
785
00:53:20,823 --> 00:53:23,200
- Are you a visitor in Washington?
- More or less.
786
00:53:23,283 --> 00:53:24,743
Just make yourself at home.
787
00:53:24,827 --> 00:53:27,746
Go downstairs and see the Lincoln parlor
and all the old documents.
788
00:53:27,830 --> 00:53:28,997
Thank you.
789
00:53:29,832 --> 00:53:33,711
I'll admit you shook us up a bit,
but we've decided we can stand it.
790
00:53:33,794 --> 00:53:36,088
As you yourself foresaw,
there'll be repercussions.
791
00:53:36,171 --> 00:53:39,591
But as a businessman, I know that when
you hire new blood, you get new ideas.
792
00:53:39,675 --> 00:53:40,926
Sometimes they're good.
793
00:53:41,009 --> 00:53:42,904
Well, gentlemen, I must admit
I'm very much relieved.
794
00:53:42,928 --> 00:53:44,763
Did you know you drew
a United States senator?
795
00:53:44,847 --> 00:53:45,848
I did?
796
00:53:45,931 --> 00:53:48,100
I've never even seen
a United States senator.
797
00:53:48,183 --> 00:53:50,686
Senator Willis k. Harvey. Odd chap.
798
00:53:50,769 --> 00:53:52,354
Met him at a luncheon the other day.
799
00:53:54,940 --> 00:53:57,025
Well, I hope he comes back again.
800
00:53:59,361 --> 00:54:01,363
And vice versa.
801
00:54:40,694 --> 00:54:42,613
But, boy, it's simply incredible.
802
00:54:42,696 --> 00:54:44,990
Weather like this,
and every inch of the church packed...
803
00:54:45,073 --> 00:54:48,494
The lecture rooms, the chapel...
And still those hundreds standing outside.
804
00:54:48,577 --> 00:54:50,871
How do you feel when you see
something like this?
805
00:54:50,954 --> 00:54:53,415
Scared, sir.
806
00:54:53,499 --> 00:54:55,125
Scared to death.
807
00:54:57,503 --> 00:54:59,963
It's when I do my hardest praying.
808
00:55:20,442 --> 00:55:23,111
Haven't these people
any churches of their own?
809
00:55:23,195 --> 00:55:26,740
So much influenza going around too.
Oh, my!
810
00:55:26,824 --> 00:55:29,952
J“ a m/ghty fortress j“
811
00:55:30,035 --> 00:55:33,163
j“ is our god j“
812
00:55:33,247 --> 00:55:35,374
j“ a bulwark j“
813
00:55:35,457 --> 00:55:39,878
j“ never failing j“
814
00:55:39,962 --> 00:55:43,131
j“ on earth is not j“
815
00:55:43,215 --> 00:55:48,679
j“ his equal j“
816
00:55:48,762 --> 00:55:54,726
j“ amen j“j“
817
00:56:04,152 --> 00:56:06,071
Sure is a stormy one.
818
00:56:06,154 --> 00:56:10,367
Well, after four stormy years at New York
Avenue, I'd say it's very appropriate.
819
00:56:10,450 --> 00:56:14,621
Maybe that's why Mrs. Marshall
selected it as an anniversary present.
820
00:56:15,205 --> 00:56:17,457
Of course, to tell you the truth,
I gently guided her
821
00:56:17,541 --> 00:56:19,459
towards the gallery
where it was to be found.
822
00:56:19,543 --> 00:56:22,463
She gave it to me with the stipulation
that she didn't have to look at it.
823
00:56:23,046 --> 00:56:24,965
Well, that's our gain.
824
00:56:25,048 --> 00:56:26,550
How is Mrs. Marshall?
825
00:56:26,633 --> 00:56:28,273
At 9:00 this morning
she was feeling fine.
826
00:56:28,343 --> 00:56:30,762
At 6:00 this evening
she was feeling even finer.
827
00:56:31,513 --> 00:56:32,931
I'd better get the latest bulletin.
828
00:56:48,780 --> 00:56:50,449
How are you feeling, darling?
829
00:56:51,033 --> 00:56:52,951
Oh, that's fine.
830
00:56:53,035 --> 00:56:54,995
Nice considerate son you're having.
831
00:56:56,538 --> 00:56:58,582
Well, of course, it's going to be a boy.
832
00:56:59,374 --> 00:57:00,626
Yes, sir.
833
00:57:12,638 --> 00:57:14,723
- Hey, senator Harvey.
- Good evening.
834
00:57:14,806 --> 00:57:17,142
I thought it was you.
We haven't seen you for a long time.
835
00:57:17,225 --> 00:57:18,727
I've been around.
836
00:57:18,810 --> 00:57:20,020
Watch it.
837
00:57:22,731 --> 00:57:24,816
Um, can I give you a lift anywhere?
838
00:57:24,900 --> 00:57:27,569
No. That is, nowhere in particular.
839
00:57:27,653 --> 00:57:29,821
What do you mean by that,
"nowhere in particular"?
840
00:57:29,905 --> 00:57:33,575
I was wondering if you'd like
to go some place and have a sandwich.
841
00:57:35,160 --> 00:57:36,578
Why, I'd love to.
842
00:57:48,048 --> 00:57:49,466
What's wrong, senator?
843
00:57:51,301 --> 00:57:53,220
I'm not a senator, Peter.
844
00:57:53,303 --> 00:57:56,139
You mean, all this time
you've been an impostor?
845
00:57:56,223 --> 00:58:00,519
No. I've been just what
I was sent here to be,
846
00:58:00,602 --> 00:58:02,521
a name on the senate roster.
847
00:58:04,314 --> 00:58:07,693
Didn't you know that I was only serving
out the term of the late senator pine?
848
00:58:07,776 --> 00:58:10,195
Oh, I probably did,
but I never thought much about it.
849
00:58:11,279 --> 00:58:14,533
He was killed in an accident
his first year in Washington.
850
00:58:14,616 --> 00:58:17,786
The big boys back home
were caught short.
851
00:58:17,869 --> 00:58:20,288
They wanted another Joe pine.
852
00:58:20,372 --> 00:58:22,374
So, they played it safe.
853
00:58:22,457 --> 00:58:23,792
They looked around for someone
854
00:58:23,875 --> 00:58:28,630
with n-not so much a clean slate
as a... a blank one.
855
00:58:28,714 --> 00:58:31,800
I was appointed.
856
00:58:31,883 --> 00:58:35,762
Nothing was expected of me
but to hold down a seat,
857
00:58:35,846 --> 00:58:38,181
vote the way they wanted me to.
858
00:58:40,475 --> 00:58:43,061
Like "yes" on
the cheavers' land bill tomorrow.
859
00:58:44,563 --> 00:58:46,481
Do you like that bill?
860
00:58:46,565 --> 00:58:48,608
The boys back home do.
861
00:58:48,692 --> 00:58:51,069
Several million acres
of timber will be cut.
862
00:58:51,153 --> 00:58:54,031
The state will have
a fresh crop of millionaires.
863
00:58:57,075 --> 00:58:58,994
And then next spring,
864
00:59:00,454 --> 00:59:04,249
thousands of small farms
will be flooded and washed out.
865
00:59:05,167 --> 00:59:06,293
I see.
866
00:59:07,878 --> 00:59:10,964
You know, you... you have a strange,
867
00:59:11,048 --> 00:59:14,551
maybe even dangerous effect
on a stodgy little guy like me.
868
00:59:14,634 --> 00:59:16,344
- Dangerous?
- Yeah.
869
00:59:17,429 --> 00:59:20,432
You make me think I'd like, just once,
870
00:59:20,515 --> 00:59:24,603
to stand on a hill and...
And feel the wind in my face.
871
00:59:25,645 --> 00:59:29,191
You know, you don't have to look far
to find your hill.
872
00:59:30,442 --> 00:59:33,653
I might also find
that there was no demand
873
00:59:33,737 --> 00:59:35,655
back at our state university
874
00:59:35,739 --> 00:59:40,911
for the services of a reasonably fair
history professor once my time is up.
875
00:59:48,376 --> 00:59:49,377
Thank you.
876
00:59:50,378 --> 00:59:51,713
Thank you, Peter.
877
00:59:55,383 --> 00:59:57,636
In again, out again. Gone again, Finnegan.
878
00:59:57,719 --> 01:00:00,764
Boy, we sure earn our money taking
care of you. How'd the luncheon go?
879
01:00:00,847 --> 01:00:02,766
What'd you tell those bankers?
880
01:00:02,849 --> 01:00:06,144
That "in god we trust" is on a thin dime
as well as on a silver dollar.
881
01:00:06,228 --> 01:00:07,813
Yes, sir.
882
01:00:08,396 --> 01:00:11,483
A call from the superintendent
of the naval academy at Annapolis.
883
01:00:11,566 --> 01:00:14,069
You're invited to speak in the chapel
a week from Sunday.
884
01:00:14,152 --> 01:00:15,362
The naval academy?
885
01:00:15,445 --> 01:00:17,697
Ah, tell the superintendent
I'd be greatly honored.
886
01:00:17,781 --> 01:00:19,950
Another acceptance.
General and Mrs. Eisenhower
887
01:00:20,033 --> 01:00:21,952
will attend the St. Andrew's day dinner.
888
01:00:22,035 --> 01:00:23,995
Well, any more good news today?
889
01:00:24,079 --> 01:00:27,666
Senator Harvey called. I-I'm not sure
that I have his message straight.
890
01:00:27,749 --> 01:00:31,294
He said something about a hill
and the wind or the breeze
891
01:00:31,378 --> 01:00:33,713
or something being very refreshing.
892
01:00:33,797 --> 01:00:35,882
Uh, does that mean anything to you?
893
01:00:45,517 --> 01:00:47,769
A lessening of tension
as Tokyo announces
894
01:00:47,853 --> 01:00:49,187
that special envoy saburo k urusu
895
01:00:49,271 --> 01:00:52,649
is en route to Washington to meet with
Cordell hull and ambassador nomura.
896
01:00:52,732 --> 01:00:54,693
However, the b/g news
today on capitol hill
897
01:00:54,776 --> 01:00:57,487
is the defeat of the controversial
chea vers ' land bill
898
01:00:57,571 --> 01:00:59,906
the deciding vote came
by way of a bombshell.
899
01:00:59,990 --> 01:01:02,159
It was cast by senator Willis k. Harvey
900
01:01:02,242 --> 01:01:04,452
on the other side of capitol hill...
901
01:01:05,829 --> 01:01:09,207
- So, that was what he meant.
- That was it, miss crilley.
902
01:01:09,291 --> 01:01:12,002
- But what a strange way of putting it.
- Aye.
903
01:01:12,085 --> 01:01:15,380
Strange and mysterious,
like the ways of the lord.
904
01:01:30,395 --> 01:01:32,314
I don't feel right about this sermon.
905
01:01:32,397 --> 01:01:34,957
There's something wrong with it,
and I can't put my finger on it.
906
01:01:35,317 --> 01:01:37,527
I'll read a page or so,
then maybe you could tell me.
907
01:01:38,904 --> 01:01:41,406
"Everyone agrees
that we of the 20th century
908
01:01:41,489 --> 01:01:44,242
have made far more advances
in the scientific world
909
01:01:44,326 --> 01:01:46,661
than we have in the world
of morals and ethics."
910
01:01:46,745 --> 01:01:49,873
- Peter, I hate to interrupt...
- Why, is it that bad?
911
01:01:50,665 --> 01:01:53,418
No. I'm sure it's wonderful.
912
01:01:53,501 --> 01:01:57,214
But I think you'd better get me
to the hospital right away.
913
01:01:58,256 --> 01:01:59,341
Catherine!
914
01:02:39,381 --> 01:02:43,510
Peter, I thought you'd be
halfway to Annapolis by this time.
915
01:02:43,593 --> 01:02:45,095
I had to have one more look at him.
916
01:02:45,178 --> 01:02:48,014
And, believe it or not, he's grown
a good inch since 6:53 this morning.
917
01:02:49,266 --> 01:02:51,685
Good-bye, darling.
I'll call you as soon as I get back.
918
01:02:55,981 --> 01:02:57,565
And thank you, Catherine.
919
01:02:57,983 --> 01:03:00,026
Thank you for the bonny wee laddie.
920
01:03:00,110 --> 01:03:01,444
Thank you for my son.
921
01:03:04,823 --> 01:03:07,742
J“j“
922
01:03:36,938 --> 01:03:39,524
J“ eternal father j“
923
01:03:39,607 --> 01:03:42,694
j“ strong to save j“
924
01:03:42,777 --> 01:03:46,031
j“ whose arm doth bind j“
925
01:03:46,114 --> 01:03:50,243
j“ the restless wave j“
926
01:03:50,327 --> 01:03:56,583
j“ who biddst
the m/ghty ocean deep j“
927
01:03:56,666 --> 01:03:59,169
- they're so young.
- J“j“
928
01:03:59,252 --> 01:04:01,171
So young and fine.
929
01:04:03,173 --> 01:04:04,883
Something wrong, Dr. Marshall?
930
01:04:06,384 --> 01:04:10,138
I can't throw off the feeling that the
sermon I've prepared isn't the right one.
931
01:04:11,097 --> 01:04:13,016
It's been haunting me all week.
932
01:04:13,099 --> 01:04:15,602
Well, then, by all means,
say what you like.
933
01:04:18,813 --> 01:04:20,023
I think I shall.
934
01:04:21,941 --> 01:04:23,360
Thank you.
935
01:04:23,443 --> 01:04:26,321
Jj
936
01:04:56,184 --> 01:04:59,562
James, fourth chapter,
937
01:04:59,646 --> 01:05:01,356
14th verse.
938
01:05:02,440 --> 01:05:04,275
For what is your life?
939
01:05:05,860 --> 01:05:08,113
It is even a vapor
940
01:05:08,196 --> 01:05:11,282
that appeareth for a little while,
941
01:05:11,366 --> 01:05:13,451
then vanisheth away.
942
01:05:18,581 --> 01:05:21,459
What a queer thing for James to say.
943
01:05:21,543 --> 01:05:25,171
It's a strange statement to find
in the new testament, is it not?
944
01:05:25,922 --> 01:05:29,008
Is he being cynical? Is he joking?
945
01:05:30,385 --> 01:05:31,678
Well, hardly.
946
01:05:33,054 --> 01:05:37,142
If you look at the context
in which this statement appears,
947
01:05:37,225 --> 01:05:39,853
you will see that James
is speaking to those
948
01:05:39,936 --> 01:05:42,439
who make great assumptions
as to the future
949
01:05:42,522 --> 01:05:46,234
with never a thought
of the contingency of life itself.
950
01:05:46,317 --> 01:05:49,279
He's addressing himself to those
who never think of god
951
01:05:50,029 --> 01:05:54,075
and who act and live as though
they had a mortgage on time,
952
01:05:54,159 --> 01:05:58,288
those who give no thought to the fact
that they may never see tomorrow,
953
01:05:58,371 --> 01:06:02,542
those who act as though
they had a long lease on life,
954
01:06:03,376 --> 01:06:05,837
as though they had immunity somehow,
955
01:06:06,504 --> 01:06:11,468
as though that cold and clammy hand
of the dread messenger
956
01:06:11,551 --> 01:06:13,428
would never touch their hearts.
957
01:06:14,471 --> 01:06:17,891
Yet, death inevitably comes
958
01:06:18,933 --> 01:06:20,643
to the king in his palace,
959
01:06:21,436 --> 01:06:23,521
the beggar by the roadside,
960
01:06:25,064 --> 01:06:26,774
the animal in his hole.
961
01:06:27,942 --> 01:06:29,527
But what is death?
962
01:06:30,737 --> 01:06:33,698
Is it to be blown out
like a candle in the wind?
963
01:06:34,407 --> 01:06:37,702
Is it a shivering void in which
there is nothing that lives?
964
01:06:37,785 --> 01:06:39,913
Is it a cold space into
which we are launched
965
01:06:39,996 --> 01:06:42,165
to be evaporated or to disappear?
966
01:06:42,248 --> 01:06:46,211
Are we to believe that
a half-mad eternal humorist
967
01:06:46,294 --> 01:06:49,714
tossed the worlds aloft
and left their destiny to chance?
968
01:06:49,797 --> 01:06:53,343
That a man's life is the development
of a nameless vagrancy?
969
01:06:53,426 --> 01:06:57,263
That a hole in the ground six feet deep
is his final heritage?
970
01:06:58,014 --> 01:07:02,018
There are a thousand insane things
easier to believe than these.
971
01:07:03,394 --> 01:07:07,065
How can we believe that human personality
will not survive
972
01:07:07,148 --> 01:07:09,651
when one who went
into the grave and beyond
973
01:07:09,734 --> 01:07:11,653
came back to say,
974
01:07:11,736 --> 01:07:16,241
"whosoever believeth in me
shall not perish,
975
01:07:16,324 --> 01:07:18,243
but have eternal life."
976
01:07:21,704 --> 01:07:23,540
In a home of which I know,
977
01:07:24,290 --> 01:07:27,252
a little boy, the only son,
978
01:07:28,002 --> 01:07:29,963
was ill of an incurable disease.
979
01:07:30,046 --> 01:07:33,049
Month after month,
the mother had tenderly read to him,
980
01:07:33,132 --> 01:07:35,051
nursed him and played with him,
981
01:07:35,134 --> 01:07:36,719
hoping to keep him from realizing
982
01:07:36,803 --> 01:07:39,764
the dreadful finality
of the doctor's diagnosis.
983
01:07:41,474 --> 01:07:43,768
But as the weeks went by
and he grew no better,
984
01:07:44,686 --> 01:07:46,980
the little fellow
gradually began to understand
985
01:07:47,063 --> 01:07:49,357
the meaning of the term "death,"
986
01:07:50,441 --> 01:07:52,944
and he too knew that soon he was to die.
987
01:07:55,405 --> 01:07:59,617
One day, the mother had been
reading to him the stirring tales
988
01:07:59,701 --> 01:08:02,203
of king Arthur and his knights
of the round table
989
01:08:02,829 --> 01:08:07,041
and of that last glorious battle in which
so many fair knights met their death.
990
01:08:08,710 --> 01:08:10,378
As she closed the book,
991
01:08:11,629 --> 01:08:14,132
the boy lay silent for a moment,
992
01:08:14,215 --> 01:08:18,303
then asked the question that had been
weighing on his childish heart.
993
01:08:20,221 --> 01:08:23,891
"Mother, what is it like to die?
994
01:08:25,852 --> 01:08:28,646
Mother, does it hurt?"
995
01:08:30,023 --> 01:08:32,442
Quick tears sprang to her eye,
and she fled into the kitchen
996
01:08:32,525 --> 01:08:34,360
supposedly to tend
to something on the stove.
997
01:08:34,444 --> 01:08:36,613
She knew it was a question
with deep significance.
998
01:08:36,696 --> 01:08:38,281
She knew it must be answered.
999
01:08:38,906 --> 01:08:42,994
She leaned for an instant against the
kitchen door and breathed a hurried prayer
1000
01:08:43,077 --> 01:08:45,431
that the lord would not let her
break down in front of the boy,
1001
01:08:45,455 --> 01:08:47,123
that he would tell her what to say.
1002
01:08:48,416 --> 01:08:50,001
And the lord did tell her.
1003
01:08:51,085 --> 01:08:53,838
Immediately she knew
how to explain it to him.
1004
01:08:53,921 --> 01:08:56,966
"Kenneth," she said,
as she returned to his room,
1005
01:08:58,217 --> 01:09:00,511
"you remember how,
when you were a little boy,
1006
01:09:00,595 --> 01:09:03,222
you would play so hard all day
1007
01:09:03,306 --> 01:09:07,018
that when night came
you were too tired even to undress
1008
01:09:07,101 --> 01:09:09,854
and would tumble into your mother's bed
and fall asleep?
1009
01:09:11,105 --> 01:09:14,025
In the morning, much to your surprise,
1010
01:09:14,942 --> 01:09:18,696
you would wake up and find yourself
in your own room in your own bed.
1011
01:09:19,947 --> 01:09:24,369
You were there because someone
had loved you and taken care of you.
1012
01:09:24,452 --> 01:09:28,456
Your daddy had come with big strong arms
and carried you to your own room.
1013
01:09:29,582 --> 01:09:32,835
Kenneth, death is like that.
1014
01:09:34,754 --> 01:09:37,173
We just wake up one morning
1015
01:09:37,256 --> 01:09:39,759
to find ourselves in the other room...
1016
01:09:40,343 --> 01:09:42,470
Our own room where we belong
1017
01:09:43,680 --> 01:09:46,307
because the lord Jesus had loved us."
1018
01:09:48,601 --> 01:09:52,480
The lad's shining, trusting face
looking up into hers
1019
01:09:53,106 --> 01:09:55,525
told her that
there would be no more fear,
1020
01:09:55,608 --> 01:09:59,821
only love and trust in his little heart
as he went to meet the father in heaven.
1021
01:10:02,073 --> 01:10:03,700
He never questioned again.
1022
01:10:05,493 --> 01:10:09,831
And several weeks later,
he fell asleep just as she had said.
1023
01:10:13,084 --> 01:10:14,919
That is what death is like.
1024
01:10:16,629 --> 01:10:19,257
Yet, in the life beyond,
1025
01:10:19,340 --> 01:10:21,759
the question inevitably comes,
1026
01:10:21,843 --> 01:10:23,428
"with what body do we move?"
1027
01:10:24,554 --> 01:10:27,181
Certainly not with
such a body as ours is today.
1028
01:10:27,265 --> 01:10:29,684
Not with rickets or a clubfoot.
1029
01:10:29,767 --> 01:10:32,895
Not with twisted spine or withered arm.
1030
01:10:32,979 --> 01:10:35,732
Not with calloused hands or wrinkled brow.
1031
01:10:35,815 --> 01:10:39,944
Not with a heart filled with
the broken glass of vanquished dreams.
1032
01:10:40,027 --> 01:10:42,947
Not with the drunkard's thirst
like the fires of hell,
1033
01:10:43,030 --> 01:10:46,743
nor the sensualist's lust
like gnawing worms.
1034
01:10:46,826 --> 01:10:50,663
Not with the bitter memories of
a son's crime or a daughter's shame.
1035
01:10:50,747 --> 01:10:54,667
Not with the scar across the throat
that the maniac's frenzy made. No!
1036
01:10:55,585 --> 01:10:58,588
Not with these do we make our entrance
upon that larger stage.
1037
01:10:58,671 --> 01:11:03,301
We rise, not clothed again
in dying Clay,
1038
01:11:03,384 --> 01:11:08,055
not garbed once more with
the faded garments of mortal flesh,
1039
01:11:08,139 --> 01:11:10,808
but with the shining mercy of god.
1040
01:11:15,271 --> 01:11:17,106
If the Bible is true
1041
01:11:17,982 --> 01:11:19,859
and Christ has not deceived us,
1042
01:11:21,110 --> 01:11:22,945
there awaits beyond the curtain
1043
01:11:23,654 --> 01:11:25,198
a life that will never end,
1044
01:11:26,282 --> 01:11:30,536
a life of beauty and peace and love.
1045
01:11:31,120 --> 01:11:33,956
A life of reunion with loved ones,
1046
01:11:34,040 --> 01:11:38,336
who, like ourselves,
have trusted in the very presence of god.
1047
01:11:40,379 --> 01:11:42,632
There shall be no more pain,
1048
01:11:42,715 --> 01:11:44,967
no more soitow,
1049
01:11:45,051 --> 01:11:48,846
nor tears, nor parting, nor death anymore.
1050
01:11:50,306 --> 01:11:52,975
Age shall not weary nor the years condemn.
1051
01:11:53,059 --> 01:11:55,478
We shall enter into that
for which we were created.
1052
01:11:57,271 --> 01:12:01,526
It shall be the journey's end
for the heart and all its hopes.
1053
01:12:02,527 --> 01:12:06,948
It shall be the end of the rainbow
for the child-explorers of god.
1054
01:12:09,617 --> 01:12:11,577
We have his promise for that.
1055
01:12:18,501 --> 01:12:19,752
Let us pray.
1056
01:12:26,133 --> 01:12:27,760
Our fathers' god,
1057
01:12:28,719 --> 01:12:31,806
to thee who are
the author of our Liberty
1058
01:12:32,557 --> 01:12:36,352
and under whom we have our freedom,
we say our prayer.
1059
01:12:38,479 --> 01:12:42,733
Make us ever mindful that
we are the heirs of a great heritage
1060
01:12:42,817 --> 01:12:45,236
and the trustees of priceless things
1061
01:12:46,237 --> 01:12:48,614
lest we forget the price
that was paid for them
1062
01:12:48,698 --> 01:12:51,284
or the cost that may yet
have to be met to keep them.
1063
01:12:52,660 --> 01:12:55,288
Make us strong, o god, in conviction
1064
01:12:56,539 --> 01:12:59,000
with the insight of our perilous times
1065
01:13:00,501 --> 01:13:03,504
and in the courage for our testing.
1066
01:13:06,507 --> 01:13:07,967
Amen.
1067
01:13:08,050 --> 01:13:10,845
J“j“
1068
01:13:22,607 --> 01:13:24,108
Dr. Marshall.
1069
01:13:25,192 --> 01:13:27,236
I only know I had to give that sermon.
1070
01:13:42,627 --> 01:13:44,712
- Can I give you a lift?
- Thank you, sir.
1071
01:13:53,554 --> 01:13:56,274
Ladies and gentlemen,
we are interrupting this program
1072
01:13:56,349 --> 01:13:58,392
to bring you an important announcement.
1073
01:13:58,476 --> 01:14:01,562
The Japanese have attacked
Pearl harbor, Honolulu, from the air
1074
01:14:01,646 --> 01:14:05,149
and all na val and military objectives
of the island of oahu,
1075
01:14:05,232 --> 01:14:08,110
the principle American base
in the Hawaiian ls/ands.
1076
01:14:09,070 --> 01:14:12,323
Attention all military
and na val personnel,
1077
01:14:13,407 --> 01:14:15,493
all leaves are canceled
1078
01:14:15,576 --> 01:14:17,912
return at once to your bases.
1079
01:14:17,995 --> 01:14:21,123
I repeat, return at once to your bases.
1080
01:14:22,208 --> 01:14:24,585
Please stand by for further announcement.
1081
01:14:26,212 --> 01:14:28,881
Will you let me out, sir?
I'll catch a ride back.
1082
01:14:45,481 --> 01:14:47,316
Now came the war years.
1083
01:14:47,400 --> 01:14:48,818
Peter made tours of camps,
1084
01:14:48,901 --> 01:14:52,363
spoke at bond rallies,
visited army and na vy hospitals.
1085
01:14:52,446 --> 01:14:55,866
With the influx of military personnel
and go vernment workers,
1086
01:14:55,950 --> 01:14:59,036
his ministerial duties
doubled and tr/pled
1087
01:14:59,120 --> 01:15:01,455
and from normandy to okinawa,
1088
01:15:01,539 --> 01:15:06,585
lonely boys remembered the canteen in
the basement of an old Washington church.
1089
01:15:07,211 --> 01:15:09,380
J“ yes, mares eat oats
and does eat oats j“
1090
01:15:09,463 --> 01:15:11,382
j“ and little lambs eat Ivy j“
1091
01:15:11,465 --> 01:15:14,885
j“ a kid will eat Ivy too
wouldn't you j“
1092
01:15:14,969 --> 01:15:19,140
j“ if the words sound queer
and funny to your ear j“
1093
01:15:19,223 --> 01:15:22,727
j“ a little bit jumbled and jive y j“
1094
01:15:22,810 --> 01:15:26,772
j“ ll/lares eat oats
and does eat oats j“
1095
01:15:26,856 --> 01:15:30,109
j“ and little lambs eat Ivy j“
1096
01:15:30,192 --> 01:15:34,030
j“ oh, mares eat oats, and does eat oats
and little lambs eat Ivy j“j“
1097
01:15:34,113 --> 01:15:36,115
sorry. Girls, it doesn't seem possible,
1098
01:15:36,198 --> 01:15:38,367
but they went through
that last batch of sandwiches.
1099
01:15:38,451 --> 01:15:40,369
Reinforcements coming up.
1100
01:15:40,453 --> 01:15:42,830
For a senator,
you do make the best coffee.
1101
01:15:42,913 --> 01:15:44,415
I think it's the egg.
1102
01:15:44,498 --> 01:15:45,666
Oh, by the way,
1103
01:15:45,750 --> 01:15:48,419
did I congratulate you
on your recent victory?
1104
01:15:48,502 --> 01:15:51,756
- Recent victory?
- Being returned to the senate, of course.
1105
01:15:51,839 --> 01:15:55,426
- Oh, that was nearly two years ago.
- Oh, my, how time flies.
1106
01:15:55,509 --> 01:15:58,471
Well, better late than never.
Congratulations.
1107
01:15:58,554 --> 01:15:59,805
Thank you.
1108
01:16:01,599 --> 01:16:03,059
What's the matter, Catherine?
1109
01:16:03,809 --> 01:16:07,188
Oh, nothing.
I guess I'm just a little tired.
1110
01:16:09,273 --> 01:16:11,942
I'll take it.
You watch my coffee, hmm?
1111
01:16:12,026 --> 01:16:13,486
Thank you, senator.
1112
01:16:20,701 --> 01:16:22,870
Catherine.
1113
01:16:24,080 --> 01:16:26,123
J“ don't sit under the apple tree j“
1114
01:16:26,207 --> 01:16:28,501
-j“ with anyone else but me j“
-pardon me, lady.
1115
01:16:28,584 --> 01:16:32,088
J“ anyone else but me
anyone else but me j“
1116
01:16:32,171 --> 01:16:35,174
j“ no, no, no

1117
01:16:35,257 --> 01:16:37,218
j“ with anyone else but me j“

01:16:37,301 --> 01:16:41,514

1119

01:16:44,141 --> 01:16:46,435
-j“ with anyone else but me j“

1121
01:16:46,519 --> 01:16:48,562

1122
01:16:48,646 --> 01:16:50,981
j“ anyone else but me

1123
01:16:51,065 --> 01:16:54,735
j“ don't go walking down lovers ' Lane
with anyone else but me j“
1124
01:16:54,819 --> 01:16:59,323
Laura, I'm so happy you've decided to
join us. And you've brought flowers too.
1125
01:16:59,406 --> 01:17:03,244
I have no intention of joining you.
And the flowers are for Mr. Lincoln.
1126
01:17:03,327 --> 01:17:05,037
It's my custom, if you remember,
1127
01:17:05,121 --> 01:17:07,289
to decorate his parlor
on the Eve of his birthday.
1128
01:17:07,373 --> 01:17:09,493
- Yes, and it's such a sweet custom too.
- Hey, ma'am,
1129
01:17:09,542 --> 01:17:12,222
- we're fresh out of sandwiches.
- Refreshments coming right up now.
1130
01:17:12,253 --> 01:17:14,171
- I'll take 'em.
- Oh, well, thank you.
1131
01:17:14,255 --> 01:17:15,714
- He's so...
- Rude.
1132
01:17:15,798 --> 01:17:19,093
Yes. No! Yes. Good night, Laura.
1133
01:17:19,176 --> 01:17:22,513
J“ from a guy who heard
from the guy next door to me j“
1134
01:17:22,596 --> 01:17:26,350
j“ the girl he met just lo ves to pet
and it fits you to a ”t” j“
1135
01:17:26,433 --> 01:17:29,061
j“ so, don't sit under the apple tree j“
1136
01:17:29,145 --> 01:17:31,397
j“ with anyone else but me j“
1137
01:17:31,480 --> 01:17:35,609
j“ till I come marching home j“j“
1138
01:17:41,657 --> 01:17:43,927
What's the matter, Willie?
Don't you like my knuckleball?
1139
01:17:43,951 --> 01:17:46,370
Just get over the plate.
1140
01:17:46,954 --> 01:17:49,790
Maybe I'm too fast for you.
Now see what you can do with this one.
1141
01:17:53,878 --> 01:17:56,255
There it comes!
1142
01:18:01,177 --> 01:18:03,554
- Boy, that's a beaut.
- Wow.
1143
01:18:03,637 --> 01:18:05,097
Don't worry, Willie. Don't worry.
1144
01:18:07,600 --> 01:18:09,310
Oh, good morning.
1145
01:18:12,730 --> 01:18:14,732
A great little ballplayer,
that Willie updike.
1146
01:18:14,815 --> 01:18:18,068
You Mark my words. We're going
to hear from that boy someday.
1147
01:18:18,152 --> 01:18:22,239
I'm awfully sorry about the window.
Naturally I'll pay for replacing it.
1148
01:18:22,323 --> 01:18:24,325
There's nothing very special
about it, is there?
1149
01:18:24,408 --> 01:18:26,368
Oh, you wouldn't think so, Dr. Marshall.
1150
01:18:26,452 --> 01:18:28,704
It was only the Abigail Fowler window...
1151
01:18:28,787 --> 01:18:30,706
A memorial to my grandmother.
1152
01:18:30,789 --> 01:18:32,708
Oh, I am sorry, miss Fowler.
1153
01:18:32,791 --> 01:18:35,085
- But I'm thankful it's only a small pane.
- Yes.
1154
01:18:35,169 --> 01:18:38,589
I suppose we should be thankful
that the church is standing at all.
1155
01:18:39,757 --> 01:18:42,927
- Just what do you mean by that?
- I don't think I need to explain.
1156
01:18:43,510 --> 01:18:46,263
Now, Laura, we agreed
there was to be no bickering,
1157
01:18:46,347 --> 01:18:48,515
no rehashing of personal grievances.
1158
01:18:48,599 --> 01:18:50,142
Now, just what do you mean?
1159
01:18:50,851 --> 01:18:52,531
Is this a censuring committee
or something?
1160
01:18:52,603 --> 01:18:54,730
Well, not exactly. But an incident,
1161
01:18:54,813 --> 01:18:58,025
possibly a situation, has arisen
that requires immediate discussion.
1162
01:18:58,108 --> 01:19:00,903
Uh, suppose we adjourn
to your study, Dr. Marshall?
1163
01:19:01,570 --> 01:19:03,030
By all means.
1164
01:19:09,286 --> 01:19:10,496
Miss Fowler.
1165
01:19:12,081 --> 01:19:13,707
Mrs. Peyton, would you sit here?
1166
01:19:14,792 --> 01:19:17,002
Colonel whiting. Mr. Peyton.
1167
01:19:17,086 --> 01:19:18,712
No, thanks, I'll stand here.
1168
01:19:22,174 --> 01:19:23,175
Sir?
1169
01:19:23,259 --> 01:19:26,011
No calls, please, miss crilley,
unless it's Mrs. Marshall calling.
1170
01:19:29,390 --> 01:19:32,518
Now, what is this situation that's arisen?
1171
01:19:32,601 --> 01:19:35,646
Well, it's the canteen, Dr. Marshall.
1172
01:19:35,729 --> 01:19:39,358
Laura... miss Fowler...
Wants to close it up.
1173
01:19:40,067 --> 01:19:41,652
Close the canteen?
1174
01:19:41,735 --> 01:19:43,696
Why, I've never heard
of anything so fantastic.
1175
01:19:43,779 --> 01:19:46,365
I understand how you feel, Dr. Marshall.
1176
01:19:46,448 --> 01:19:49,493
I admit I was wholeheartedly
for it in the beginning,
1177
01:19:49,576 --> 01:19:52,329
but these things can get out of hand.
1178
01:19:52,413 --> 01:19:55,124
Well, is it the... is it the noise
you're referring to?
1179
01:19:55,207 --> 01:19:57,167
N-No. No one's complained about that.
1180
01:19:57,251 --> 01:19:59,628
Well, then what in heaven's name
is there to complain about?
1181
01:20:00,879 --> 01:20:03,257
Have you ever visited the canteen,
miss Fowler?
1182
01:20:03,340 --> 01:20:07,177
Indeed not.
I've disapproved of it from the start.
1183
01:20:07,261 --> 01:20:10,597
But, as with many of your innovations,
I've kept silence.
1184
01:20:10,681 --> 01:20:13,183
I can't say I've not been aware
of your silences, miss Fowler.
1185
01:20:13,267 --> 01:20:15,227
They've been very eloquent.
1186
01:20:15,311 --> 01:20:18,522
How could they be othennise,
Dr. Marshall?
1187
01:20:18,605 --> 01:20:22,735
New York Avenue church
was my life, my heritage.
1188
01:20:22,818 --> 01:20:26,196
It's as if my very home
had been invaded by strangers,
1189
01:20:26,280 --> 01:20:28,657
invited by a stranger.
1190
01:20:28,741 --> 01:20:31,035
And an immigrant to boot.
1191
01:20:31,118 --> 01:20:33,954
Since you mention it, yes.
1192
01:20:34,038 --> 01:20:37,541
And one deliberately and defiantly alien
1193
01:20:37,624 --> 01:20:40,377
to all that this church has stood for.
1194
01:20:40,461 --> 01:20:45,591
Oh, I've watched you strolling the streets
of Washington in that shirt and coat
1195
01:20:45,674 --> 01:20:48,052
belonging at a race meet.
1196
01:20:48,135 --> 01:20:52,348
I've watched you build your ego
by changing and uprooting.
1197
01:20:53,849 --> 01:20:56,143
I've watched the old things go.
1198
01:20:57,728 --> 01:21:03,317
The quartet, an elegant tradition
in the New York Avenue church,
1199
01:21:03,400 --> 01:21:06,028
replaced by the booming choir of yours.
1200
01:21:06,111 --> 01:21:08,072
But, Laura, everybody thinks
the choir's better.
1201
01:21:08,155 --> 01:21:11,575
- Please let her go on, Mrs. Peyton.
- I'm almost finished, Dr. Marshall.
1202
01:21:11,658 --> 01:21:15,579
I could bring up a hundred affronts
that I've endured without protest.
1203
01:21:15,662 --> 01:21:18,791
But the other night
when I visited the church
1204
01:21:18,874 --> 01:21:23,754
and found the lecture room where
Mrs. Hathaway conducted her Bible class
1205
01:21:23,837 --> 01:21:26,632
turned into a cabaret,
1206
01:21:26,715 --> 01:21:30,260
the Lincoln parlor desecrated...
1207
01:21:31,428 --> 01:21:32,763
The Lincoln parlor?
1208
01:21:32,846 --> 01:21:35,599
Oh, it wasn't anything so terrible.
1209
01:21:35,682 --> 01:21:39,228
I mean, it wasn't anything you
couldn't see in any park these days.
1210
01:21:39,311 --> 01:21:43,941
But maybe it was a little out of place
on Mr. Lincoln's sofa.
1211
01:21:44,024 --> 01:21:46,610
So that's what all this is about?
1212
01:21:46,693 --> 01:21:48,153
A young sailor and a girl?
1213
01:21:49,113 --> 01:21:51,240
- Then you did know about it.
- Certainly I knew.
1214
01:21:51,323 --> 01:21:54,034
I turned it over to them.
I even told them to lock the door.
1215
01:21:54,118 --> 01:21:56,078
It's too bad they didn't.
1216
01:21:56,912 --> 01:22:00,582
We're all adults, Dr. Marshall,
and reasonably broad-minded,
1217
01:22:00,666 --> 01:22:02,000
but I think in this instance...
1218
01:22:02,084 --> 01:22:04,169
Where else could those
two kids go to be alone?
1219
01:22:04,253 --> 01:22:07,673
Where in Washington could they even
find a doorstep in these days?
1220
01:22:07,756 --> 01:22:09,675
As an immigrant and an alien,
1221
01:22:09,758 --> 01:22:12,136
I can't claim to know Mr. Lincoln
as well as you people,
1222
01:22:12,219 --> 01:22:14,138
but I don't believe
that he minded a bit
1223
01:22:14,221 --> 01:22:17,683
that those two spent their poor little
two-hour honeymoon in his parlor.
1224
01:22:17,766 --> 01:22:19,685
Honeymoon?
1225
01:22:19,768 --> 01:22:21,895
That's right. That's all they had.
1226
01:22:21,979 --> 01:22:24,815
I married them round 7:00 that night.
1227
01:22:24,898 --> 01:22:26,567
He was shipping out at 9:00.
1228
01:22:26,650 --> 01:22:30,821
She was a little girl from an Iowa farm,
a government worker,
1229
01:22:30,904 --> 01:22:34,825
one of these strangers I permitted
to invade New York Avenue church.
1230
01:22:34,908 --> 01:22:37,161
He was a boy from California.
They met in this canteen.
1231
01:22:42,541 --> 01:22:45,043
Hello? Oh, hello, Catherine.
1232
01:22:45,836 --> 01:22:47,713
All right, darling. In about 10 minutes.
1233
01:22:48,213 --> 01:22:49,506
All right. Good-bye.
1234
01:22:51,550 --> 01:22:55,345
My wife has a medical appointment.
Our son will be alone, so I must go home.
1235
01:22:55,429 --> 01:22:59,057
As for the canteen, it stays open,
or you can find yourselves a new minister.
1236
01:22:59,141 --> 01:23:02,102
Now are you being fantastic, Dr. Marshall?
1237
01:23:02,186 --> 01:23:05,481
True, there was a slight misunderstanding,
but it's been cleared up.
1238
01:23:05,564 --> 01:23:09,526
- Sure, a case of mistaken identity.
- Oh, Dr. Marshall,
1239
01:23:09,610 --> 01:23:12,613
if only you had let me know
about that sweet little couple,
1240
01:23:12,696 --> 01:23:14,615
I could have baked them a cake.
1241
01:23:23,123 --> 01:23:26,210
- Where's the kitchen?
- Uh... oh, right here.
1242
01:23:26,293 --> 01:23:28,378
- Oh.
- A fine, big, cozy kitchen
1243
01:23:28,462 --> 01:23:31,590
with a great pot of scotch broth
steaming away
1244
01:23:31,673 --> 01:23:33,717
and shortbread in the oven.
1245
01:23:33,800 --> 01:23:35,719
- Which reminds me, are you hungry?
- Yes.
1246
01:23:35,802 --> 01:23:38,472
Yes, so am I.
1247
01:23:40,557 --> 01:23:42,059
Mommy!
1248
01:23:43,894 --> 01:23:46,563
Hi. Hello, Peter John.
1249
01:23:57,241 --> 01:23:59,201
Will you excuse us for a minute,
Peter John?
1250
01:23:59,284 --> 01:24:00,803
Why don't you play
down here for a while?
1251
01:24:00,827 --> 01:24:03,705
- Can I melt some ice cubes in the kitchen?
- All right.
1252
01:24:15,926 --> 01:24:17,553
What's the matter, Catherine?
1253
01:24:18,387 --> 01:24:20,180
I have tuberculosis.
1254
01:24:21,765 --> 01:24:23,684
There's no need to be afraid of me.
1255
01:24:23,767 --> 01:24:26,270
I asked the doctor.
I asked all three doctors.
1256
01:24:26,353 --> 01:24:28,730
It isn't dangerous.
1257
01:24:28,814 --> 01:24:30,732
I can't give it to you or to Peter John.
1258
01:24:30,816 --> 01:24:33,610
It's... it's what's known as a closed case.
1259
01:24:33,694 --> 01:24:36,405
Dr. Black wants you to call him.
He'll tell you all about it.
1260
01:24:36,488 --> 01:24:40,158
But this doesn't mean that...
That you've got to go away?
1261
01:24:40,242 --> 01:24:44,454
Oh, no. Just to bed
for three or four months.
1262
01:24:46,206 --> 01:24:49,251
- That's not too bad.
- How can you say that?
1263
01:24:50,043 --> 01:24:52,713
Who'll look after the house?
Who'll take care of Peter John?
1264
01:24:52,796 --> 01:24:54,423
I don't know, but there'll be somebody.
1265
01:24:54,506 --> 01:24:56,466
Not every maid in Washington's
on the swing shift.
1266
01:24:57,759 --> 01:25:00,137
Now, darling, you go and change.
I'll turn your bed down.
1267
01:25:00,887 --> 01:25:05,642
What about dinner?
1268
01:25:05,726 --> 01:25:08,520
I think Peter John's
throwing something together now.
1269
01:25:53,273 --> 01:25:55,192
Hello, darling. How's everything?
1270
01:25:55,275 --> 01:25:58,570
Oh, all sparkling excitement.
1271
01:25:59,404 --> 01:26:02,115
I can hear the cars
passing in the street.
1272
01:26:03,325 --> 01:26:05,744
Once in a while a bird comes
and sits on the sill.
1273
01:26:05,827 --> 01:26:08,580
Oh. Poor Catherine.
1274
01:26:08,664 --> 01:26:12,292
Why do you say that? Why don't you tell me
that everything's going to be all right?
1275
01:26:12,376 --> 01:26:15,087
Or are you simply reconciled to all this?
1276
01:26:15,170 --> 01:26:18,048
Oh, darling. I'm sorry.
1277
01:26:26,723 --> 01:26:29,017
"Miss myrtle Bixby." Who's she?
1278
01:26:30,102 --> 01:26:33,397
A little girl who used to live
next door to me when I was seven.
1279
01:26:33,480 --> 01:26:35,941
She had beautiful red hair,
and I was jealous of it.
1280
01:26:36,024 --> 01:26:38,110
So I told the other kids it was dyed.
1281
01:26:40,779 --> 01:26:44,116
"Mr. R.J. Ross of keyser high school"?
1282
01:26:44,199 --> 01:26:47,953
My algebra teacher.
I cheated in a final examination.
1283
01:26:48,036 --> 01:26:49,746
Othennise, I wouldn't have passed.
1284
01:26:50,831 --> 01:26:52,624
And "Mrs. Lionel eaton"?
1285
01:26:53,667 --> 01:26:55,377
A girl from Agnes Scott.
1286
01:26:55,460 --> 01:26:58,505
We had a fight,
over you as a matter of fact.
1287
01:26:59,297 --> 01:27:03,260
I'm writing to everyone in my past life
that I ever did a mean thing to or...
1288
01:27:03,343 --> 01:27:06,430
Or thought a mean thought about or...
Or cheated or deceived.
1289
01:27:06,513 --> 01:27:09,808
- But why?
- Because I've tried everything else.
1290
01:27:10,684 --> 01:27:12,978
There must be something
I've done to someone.
1291
01:27:13,687 --> 01:27:15,605
There has to be some reason for this.
1292
01:27:15,689 --> 01:27:17,691
Now, you know better than that.
1293
01:27:17,774 --> 01:27:20,610
God doesn't send misfortune
by way of retaliation.
1294
01:27:20,694 --> 01:27:22,529
But I have to do something. I...
1295
01:27:24,281 --> 01:27:28,034
You don't realize what it's... what
it's like lying here month after month.
1296
01:27:28,118 --> 01:27:29,578
Yes, I do.
1297
01:27:30,662 --> 01:27:33,165
No, you don't. You couldn't.
1298
01:27:33,248 --> 01:27:37,335
You're... you're healthy
and strong and... and alive.
1299
01:27:37,419 --> 01:27:39,129
Daddy!
1300
01:27:40,881 --> 01:27:42,507
I promised to take him to the zoo.
1301
01:27:46,344 --> 01:27:47,763
Come on. You drink up your milk.
1302
01:27:51,641 --> 01:27:54,102
If it'll make you feel any better,
I'll mail these.
1303
01:27:54,186 --> 01:27:55,228
Please.
1304
01:27:58,565 --> 01:27:59,566
Peter?
1305
01:28:00,650 --> 01:28:02,903
Peter, you still pray for me, don't you?
1306
01:28:03,945 --> 01:28:06,072
You haven't given up?
1307
01:28:06,156 --> 01:28:07,657
Oh, Catherine.
1308
01:28:15,290 --> 01:28:17,250
Do you wonder we're baffled?
1309
01:28:18,418 --> 01:28:21,004
One could say that
for almost three years
1310
01:28:21,087 --> 01:28:23,173
your wife has been
standing at a crossroads
1311
01:28:23,256 --> 01:28:26,676
without taking a step in either direction.
1312
01:28:26,760 --> 01:28:30,889
She's had every new test,
every treatment known to science.
1313
01:28:30,972 --> 01:28:33,975
We've even used her as a Guinea pig.
1314
01:28:34,059 --> 01:28:37,521
I wish I could offer as much as
a word of encouragement,
1315
01:28:37,604 --> 01:28:39,773
but I wouldn't even dare to do that.
1316
01:28:41,775 --> 01:28:44,361
Well, thank you, doctor.
1317
01:28:44,444 --> 01:28:47,155
I appreciate your seeing me after hours.
1318
01:28:47,239 --> 01:28:48,740
Anytime, Dr. Marshall.
1319
01:29:10,846 --> 01:29:12,806
Something wrong with the furnace.
1320
01:29:50,844 --> 01:29:53,471
Oh, god, what's happened to us?
1321
01:29:53,555 --> 01:29:55,015
You and me.
1322
01:30:04,190 --> 01:30:07,110
Whatever it is, it...
It's got to be my fault.
1323
01:30:08,778 --> 01:30:11,698
As I told Catherine when she said
there must be some reason
1324
01:30:11,781 --> 01:30:13,366
you don't punish.
1325
01:30:14,993 --> 01:30:16,244
Could it be that I've...
1326
01:30:17,037 --> 01:30:19,915
I've presumed on your friendship
1327
01:30:20,749 --> 01:30:23,585
and you're just putting me in my place?
1328
01:30:26,713 --> 01:30:28,590
Did I get a little fatheaded,
1329
01:30:30,383 --> 01:30:34,346
perhaps reading into your plans
more than you meant
1330
01:30:34,429 --> 01:30:38,975
or interpreting them conveniently
in my own direction?
1331
01:30:44,648 --> 01:30:46,816
Perhaps miss Fowler was right.
1332
01:30:46,900 --> 01:30:51,237
I was just building my own ego
under the pretense of building for you.
1333
01:30:53,990 --> 01:30:56,993
Oh, I know there are ministers
1334
01:30:57,077 --> 01:30:59,329
doing a much betterjob
for you than I am
1335
01:30:59,412 --> 01:31:02,749
and not making nearly
as much noise about it.
1336
01:31:08,254 --> 01:31:10,382
Maybe I like this town too much.
1337
01:31:12,342 --> 01:31:14,386
Maybe I'm just standing off
1338
01:31:14,469 --> 01:31:17,013
watching myself walk down
Pennsylvania Avenue
1339
01:31:18,056 --> 01:31:20,266
saying, "hello, Mr. Ambassador."
1340
01:31:20,350 --> 01:31:23,687
"How are you, Mr. Senator?"
"Good morning, Mr. Vice president."
1341
01:31:25,105 --> 01:31:29,609
Thinking that Peter Marshall
sure has come a long way.
1342
01:31:36,992 --> 01:31:38,451
Well, I haven't, lord.
1343
01:31:41,079 --> 01:31:42,580
I'm way back there.
1344
01:31:45,125 --> 01:31:48,044
I haven't as much and I'm not as much
as I was when I was...
1345
01:31:48,753 --> 01:31:50,714
When I was working with one of these.
1346
01:32:03,476 --> 01:32:06,646
Lord, why can't
I get through to you anymore?
1347
01:32:08,231 --> 01:32:11,609
You know there's nothing I want so much
in my life as to help Catherine, but...
1348
01:32:12,652 --> 01:32:14,362
I can't do it by myself.
1349
01:32:15,822 --> 01:32:17,615
I can't do anything without you.
1350
01:32:24,998 --> 01:32:29,085
Surely Jesus had the power to lift
from the dust of disease
1351
01:32:29,169 --> 01:32:31,588
the flowers whose stems
had been crushed
1352
01:32:31,671 --> 01:32:34,299
or withered in the mildews
of human misery.
1353
01:32:35,175 --> 01:32:38,011
There came to this woman from galilee
1354
01:32:38,094 --> 01:32:42,932
the assurance that if she could but touch
him, even if only the hem of his garment,
1355
01:32:43,016 --> 01:32:45,518
she would be cured of her awful malady.
1356
01:32:46,519 --> 01:32:49,314
As this thought
burned itself into her mind,
1357
01:32:49,397 --> 01:32:51,524
her faith was curiously stirred
1358
01:32:51,608 --> 01:32:54,652
as it wrestled in the birth throes
of a great resolve.
1359
01:32:54,736 --> 01:32:58,448
It was daring, fantastic perhaps,
but it was worth trying.
1360
01:32:58,531 --> 01:33:00,784
It could only fail,
1361
01:33:00,867 --> 01:33:03,119
and she was no stranger to failure.
1362
01:33:03,203 --> 01:33:07,290
Thus reasoning, she
pushes her way through the dense throng.
1363
01:33:07,373 --> 01:33:09,959
People get in the way
now she is desperate.
1364
01:33:10,043 --> 01:33:13,546
He must not pass so near
and yet so far away
1365
01:33:13,630 --> 01:33:16,966
is she to lose this opportunity?
She must touch him.
1366
01:33:17,050 --> 01:33:19,052
Now she can almost reach him.
1367
01:33:19,135 --> 01:33:23,389
At last, just as he passes,
she is able to reach out her hand
1368
01:33:23,473 --> 01:33:26,810
and with the tip of her finger
she touches his robe.
1369
01:33:26,893 --> 01:33:28,144
It was enough.
1370
01:33:31,815 --> 01:33:33,942
Oh, god, I've tried.
1371
01:33:35,443 --> 01:33:37,195
But I can't touch you.
1372
01:33:39,322 --> 01:33:41,116
My faith's worn out.
1373
01:33:41,908 --> 01:33:46,037
I can't beg or beseech or demand anymore.
1374
01:33:48,623 --> 01:33:51,459
I haven't the strength
of that woman in galilee.
1375
01:33:52,502 --> 01:33:56,172
I can't fight my way through
whatever wall there is between us.
1376
01:33:58,299 --> 01:34:00,802
I've done everything I've known how to do.
1377
01:34:04,264 --> 01:34:08,393
If you want me to spend
the rest of my life as an invalid,
1378
01:34:09,936 --> 01:34:11,437
here I am.
1379
01:34:13,273 --> 01:34:15,316
Do whatever you want with me.
1380
01:34:46,764 --> 01:34:47,807
Catherine!
1381
01:34:52,645 --> 01:34:54,022
Catherine.
1382
01:34:59,068 --> 01:35:01,029
I knew it. I knew it.
1383
01:35:01,112 --> 01:35:03,448
Halfway through the sermon
it was as though a voice said,
1384
01:35:03,531 --> 01:35:05,533
"Catherine's all right.
Catherine's all right."
1385
01:35:05,617 --> 01:35:08,745
Yes, but... but, Peter,
it worked backwards.
1386
01:35:08,828 --> 01:35:12,290
- I told him he didn't have to do anything.
- That's all he was waiting for.
1387
01:35:12,373 --> 01:35:16,002
He just wanted the gift of
every bit of you. Oh, my darling.
1388
01:35:20,924 --> 01:35:23,593
Of course, the miracle wasn't complete.
1389
01:35:23,676 --> 01:35:27,555
But the next day the doctors
admitted the change and marveled at it.
1390
01:35:27,639 --> 01:35:31,142
They advised continued rest,
but a change of scenery
1391
01:35:31,226 --> 01:35:34,479
so Peter made the down payment
on a little house on the cape
1392
01:35:34,562 --> 01:35:36,272
and there we spent the summer.
1393
01:35:37,357 --> 01:35:41,694
All my life / will recall it
as the happy summer.
1394
01:35:41,778 --> 01:35:43,696
Peter painted the shutters blue
1395
01:35:43,780 --> 01:35:47,116
and planted the little red roses
that reminded him of Scotland
1396
01:35:47,200 --> 01:35:49,535
and he and Peter John built a boat.
1397
01:35:49,619 --> 01:35:53,915
I expected the boat to sink
first time out, but it pro ved seaworth y
1398
01:35:53,998 --> 01:35:57,043
and two old salts
sailed the bounding main.
1399
01:36:09,806 --> 01:36:11,724
A bonny boat, eh?
1400
01:36:14,394 --> 01:36:16,771
- And a bonny surprise for mother.
- Aye.
1401
01:36:16,854 --> 01:36:18,940
But we'll have to handle this
with exquisite tact.
1402
01:36:19,023 --> 01:36:20,668
It's her house,
and it has to be her decision.
1403
01:36:20,692 --> 01:36:23,528
Well, gosh, dad,
she's just got to say yes.
1404
01:36:23,611 --> 01:36:25,530
Good night. Gee whiz.
1405
01:36:25,613 --> 01:36:27,615
Now, you watch it.
With your Agnes Scott mother,
1406
01:36:27,699 --> 01:36:30,326
you're liable to "gee whiz" yourself
right out of this deal.
1407
01:36:35,456 --> 01:36:37,417
What are you two trying to put over?
1408
01:36:41,296 --> 01:36:43,381
- His name's Jeff.
- And smart.
1409
01:36:43,464 --> 01:36:46,634
Boy. Gosh, I'm so glad
you're crazy about him.
1410
01:36:56,644 --> 01:36:59,856
- Aye, a bonny boat.
- Aye.
1411
01:36:59,939 --> 01:37:02,859
When we return next summer, you'll
be big enough to handle her yourself.
1412
01:37:02,942 --> 01:37:05,111
- Aye.
- Hey, you're locking up my book.
1413
01:37:06,195 --> 01:37:08,323
All the books are packed
and in the car.
1414
01:37:08,406 --> 01:37:10,742
A little paperback called
the case of the perfumed mouse?
1415
01:37:10,825 --> 01:37:13,286
- I think so.
- Well, I hope so.
1416
01:37:13,369 --> 01:37:16,432
I can't spend the winter wondering whether
it was the blonde who murdered the redhead
1417
01:37:16,456 --> 01:37:18,017
or whether it was
the fellow in the closet.
1418
01:37:18,041 --> 01:37:19,042
Well, of course not.
1419
01:37:19,125 --> 01:37:21,044
Hey, where's Jeff?
We can't go without Jeff.
1420
01:37:21,127 --> 01:37:23,713
- Jeff's packed and in the car too.
- Oh, boy.
1421
01:37:25,214 --> 01:37:28,426
Aren't you wonderful?
You wear well, darling.
1422
01:37:36,517 --> 01:37:38,644
Yep, our quiet days are over.
1423
01:37:40,146 --> 01:37:42,023
As of right now.
1424
01:37:42,940 --> 01:37:46,152
- Hi, Mrs. Marshall.
- Hello, Lyle. Eddie.
1425
01:37:46,235 --> 01:37:48,875
Oh, I'm afraid you'll have to slide out
on this side, Dr. Marshall.
1426
01:37:48,946 --> 01:37:53,159
Peter John.
Hiya, doc. You sure look good.
1427
01:37:54,494 --> 01:37:56,579
What's the matter, doctor?
1428
01:37:56,662 --> 01:37:59,248
Oh, it's nothing... nothing, I'm sure.
1429
01:37:59,332 --> 01:38:03,127
How are you boys? I've got to rush.
I'll see you after services.
1430
01:38:09,967 --> 01:38:12,011
- Good morning, Dr. Marshall.
- Good morning.
1431
01:38:13,805 --> 01:38:16,974
It isn't that I grew soft
and lazy on vacation.
1432
01:38:17,850 --> 01:38:20,019
It isn't that I've prepared no sermon.
1433
01:38:20,144 --> 01:38:23,189
It's that ministers are mortal
1434
01:38:23,272 --> 01:38:25,858
and are subject to human weaknesses.
1435
01:38:25,942 --> 01:38:29,195
Suddenly, and for no reason
that I can think of,
1436
01:38:29,278 --> 01:38:31,531
I'm homesick.
1437
01:38:31,614 --> 01:38:34,367
I want to talk about Scotland...
1438
01:38:35,243 --> 01:38:38,788
That brave, that lovely little land
1439
01:38:38,871 --> 01:38:42,834
who, when parting with a son,
keeps forever a piece of his heart.
1440
01:38:44,419 --> 01:38:47,130
No matter where a scotsman goes,
1441
01:38:47,213 --> 01:38:49,298
how high he climbs
1442
01:38:49,382 --> 01:38:51,175
or how low he Burrows,
1443
01:38:52,051 --> 01:38:54,470
there are times,
1444
01:38:54,554 --> 01:38:56,806
as with me as I stand in this pulpit,
1445
01:38:56,889 --> 01:38:59,684
when the smell of rain-soaked Heather
1446
01:38:59,767 --> 01:39:01,894
is so close in his nostrils...
1447
01:39:10,319 --> 01:39:12,822
I'll have to ask you to forgive me.
1448
01:39:14,407 --> 01:39:16,284
I know I'm acting very strange.
1449
01:39:17,910 --> 01:39:19,245
I'm feeling very strange.
1450
01:39:50,776 --> 01:39:54,155
I can tell you very little now,
Mrs. Marshall.
1451
01:39:54,238 --> 01:39:56,657
It might be a muscular spasm.
1452
01:39:56,741 --> 01:40:00,161
- It might be a coronary thrombosis.
- I don't know what that means.
1453
01:40:00,244 --> 01:40:02,246
It means that it could be very serious.
1454
01:40:02,330 --> 01:40:04,540
Very serious indeed.
1455
01:40:04,624 --> 01:40:07,668
- I'll call you this evening.
- Thank you, doctor.
1456
01:40:08,294 --> 01:40:10,463
Excuse me. Okay.
1457
01:40:10,546 --> 01:40:13,799
Why can't I see daddy?
1458
01:40:15,009 --> 01:40:17,512
Come, Catherine. I'll drive you home.
1459
01:40:17,595 --> 01:40:19,013
Come, Peter John.
1460
01:40:27,063 --> 01:40:30,107
When we
came home, Peter John and I prayed
1461
01:40:30,191 --> 01:40:32,693
Peter John is prayer was simple.
1462
01:40:32,777 --> 01:40:36,948
All he asked was,
”please don't let my daddy die. ”
1463
01:40:37,031 --> 01:40:40,493
Lasked that god would
take away my icy fear.
1464
01:40:41,911 --> 01:40:44,539
The doctors call told us the worst.
1465
01:40:44,622 --> 01:40:46,707
It was a thrombosis.
1466
01:40:46,791 --> 01:40:49,502
Peter had less than a fighting chance.
1467
01:40:49,585 --> 01:40:52,338
As word of Peters
critical condition spread,
1468
01:40:52,421 --> 01:40:55,758
a fountain of prayer
Rose to the very heavens.
1469
01:40:55,841 --> 01:40:58,135
Letters and telegrams
arrived by the hundreds
1470
01:40:58,219 --> 01:41:00,263
all with the same message...
1471
01:41:00,346 --> 01:41:02,265
”Praying for Peter. ”
1472
01:41:02,348 --> 01:41:04,850
A few days later, the crisis passed
1473
01:41:05,184 --> 01:41:07,120
Here we are
at the end of the third inning
1474
01:41:07,144 --> 01:41:08,521
of this n/p and tuck ball game
1475
01:41:08,604 --> 01:41:10,523
with a score of senators three,
cle veland two.
1476
01:41:10,606 --> 01:41:13,317
This is gonna be a big year for us.
1477
01:41:13,401 --> 01:41:16,404
I'd prefer you took no
rooting interest, Dr. Marshall.
1478
01:41:16,487 --> 01:41:18,864
In fact, I could make it an order.
1479
01:41:18,948 --> 01:41:20,908
So you could. But why?
1480
01:41:22,034 --> 01:41:25,705
Dr. Marshall, if you were an ignorant man,
I might try to deceive you.
1481
01:41:25,788 --> 01:41:29,417
But since that isn't the case,
I'm going to be frank.
1482
01:41:29,500 --> 01:41:32,253
You came very close
to not pulling through.
1483
01:41:32,336 --> 01:41:35,756
Oh, I know that.
But don't hand yourself any bouquets.
1484
01:41:35,840 --> 01:41:37,925
You had nothing to do with it.
1485
01:41:38,009 --> 01:41:40,386
God just didn't happen to want me.
1486
01:41:54,317 --> 01:41:58,029
Catherine, will you please resume
walking like a normal woman?
1487
01:42:00,156 --> 01:42:02,533
I'm simply following
the doctor's instruction.
1488
01:42:02,617 --> 01:42:04,785
Does he give ballet lessons
on the side?
1489
01:42:04,869 --> 01:42:08,331
Oh, Peter, this is nothing to joke about.
1490
01:42:08,414 --> 01:42:11,834
He only let you come home a week early
on certain conditions.
1491
01:42:11,917 --> 01:42:14,503
No noise, no excitement,
1492
01:42:14,587 --> 01:42:17,006
no walking up and down the stairs.
1493
01:42:17,089 --> 01:42:19,133
And you just can't be trusted.
1494
01:42:19,216 --> 01:42:21,135
Icant?
1495
01:42:21,218 --> 01:42:24,472
I left the house for an hour yesterday...
One hour...
1496
01:42:24,555 --> 01:42:26,474
And you washed the dog.
1497
01:42:26,557 --> 01:42:30,978
Now, see how you exaggerate. Peter John
washed the dog. I... I merely looked on.
1498
01:42:31,062 --> 01:42:34,815
The dog was washed in the basement. You
walked downstairs and you walked up again.
1499
01:42:34,899 --> 01:42:36,484
And you called miss crilley.
1500
01:42:36,567 --> 01:42:40,529
Well, that's only because you've
embroiled the poor girl in a conspiracy.
1501
01:42:40,613 --> 01:42:42,865
She only gives me
half my messages, half my mail.
1502
01:42:47,745 --> 01:42:50,831
Hello. Oh, hello, senator Harvey.
1503
01:42:51,916 --> 01:42:53,834
You're returning Peter's call?
1504
01:42:54,960 --> 01:42:56,962
About a little bridge game this evening.
1505
01:42:58,172 --> 01:43:00,174
Mmm, just the three of us.
1506
01:43:00,257 --> 01:43:03,219
You tell him to be around at 7:00
and to be on his toes.
1507
01:43:06,555 --> 01:43:08,474
About 7:00, senator Harvey.
1508
01:43:22,321 --> 01:43:25,741
This is going to be my first sermon
when I return to my pulpit.
1509
01:43:25,825 --> 01:43:27,243
Peter.
1510
01:43:28,327 --> 01:43:32,707
You know you can't go back
for at least a year, maybe longer.
1511
01:43:32,790 --> 01:43:34,542
I'm going back next week.
1512
01:43:36,127 --> 01:43:38,254
When god spared me, patched up my heart,
1513
01:43:38,337 --> 01:43:40,923
he meant that he still had something
for me to do on this side.
1514
01:43:41,006 --> 01:43:44,719
Peter, sometimes I think
you want to leave us.
1515
01:43:45,511 --> 01:43:48,305
Don't be silly, Catherine.
I'll never leave you. Believe that.
1516
01:43:48,389 --> 01:43:50,307
And take the proper view.
1517
01:43:50,391 --> 01:43:53,269
Years ago in the fog
I gave myself and everything I had,
1518
01:43:53,352 --> 01:43:55,438
or ever would have, to the lord.
1519
01:43:55,521 --> 01:43:56,939
And not in half measure.
1520
01:44:03,195 --> 01:44:07,408
My text is taken
from the first book of kings,
1521
01:44:07,491 --> 01:44:10,995
chapter 18 and verse 21.
1522
01:44:11,078 --> 01:44:14,999
If the lord be god, then follow him:
1523
01:44:15,082 --> 01:44:17,960
But if baal, then follow him.
1524
01:44:20,963 --> 01:44:23,632
The leaders of ancient Israel,
1525
01:44:23,716 --> 01:44:26,385
including the king, had come together
to make a great decision.
1526
01:44:26,469 --> 01:44:28,721
It was a national emergency.
1527
01:44:28,804 --> 01:44:31,974
Elijah the prophet had summoned them
to meet on mount carmel
1528
01:44:32,057 --> 01:44:35,186
to settle no less a question
than whom they should worship.
1529
01:44:36,103 --> 01:44:40,649
William penn has said that men
must be governed by god
1530
01:44:40,733 --> 01:44:43,027
or they will be ruled by tyrants.
1531
01:44:44,653 --> 01:44:47,364
Here then was a Hebrew prophet
1532
01:44:47,448 --> 01:44:50,618
facing the very same issue
and making his people face it with him.
1533
01:44:50,701 --> 01:44:52,870
They all knew
the history of their nation,
1534
01:44:52,953 --> 01:44:55,831
how god had led
their fathers out of bondage
1535
01:44:55,915 --> 01:44:58,417
into a new land as pioneers,
1536
01:44:58,501 --> 01:45:02,463
how his holy law had been written
into the nation's constitution,
1537
01:45:02,546 --> 01:45:06,467
how the ten commandments
had become for them a bill of rights
1538
01:45:06,550 --> 01:45:09,094
and a declaration of dependence.
1539
01:45:09,178 --> 01:45:12,431
But something in the nation's life
had begun to fade.
1540
01:45:12,515 --> 01:45:14,517
Moral decay had set in.
1541
01:45:14,600 --> 01:45:16,977
They had begun to love things
more than principles.
1542
01:45:17,061 --> 01:45:20,523
They had become materialists.
And materialism had a god,
1543
01:45:20,606 --> 01:45:22,650
a god of the flesh,
1544
01:45:22,733 --> 01:45:25,069
and his name was baal.
1545
01:45:26,195 --> 01:45:28,155
Now, Elijah saw the danger.
1546
01:45:28,239 --> 01:45:31,700
He saw what would happen to the nation
when its moral fiber was weakened.
1547
01:45:31,784 --> 01:45:35,704
So, he summoned
the 450 prophets of baal,
1548
01:45:35,788 --> 01:45:38,249
the king and the nation's leaders.
1549
01:45:38,332 --> 01:45:40,626
It had to be either-or.
1550
01:45:40,709 --> 01:45:43,212
They had to get on one side or the other.
1551
01:45:43,295 --> 01:45:47,091
You remember the dramatic test,
the trial by fire,
1552
01:45:47,174 --> 01:45:50,761
how, on the parched,
sunbaked slopes of carmel,
1553
01:45:50,845 --> 01:45:53,764
Elijah announced his proposed test.
1554
01:45:53,848 --> 01:45:56,684
Let sacrifices be laid upon the altar.
1555
01:45:56,767 --> 01:46:01,063
Let him be god who would send down fire
and consume the offerings.
1556
01:46:01,146 --> 01:46:04,149
And let baal and his priests
have the first inning.
1557
01:46:05,442 --> 01:46:07,820
Then began the weird, pagan performance
1558
01:46:07,903 --> 01:46:10,823
with Elijah jibing at them
with pointed sarcasm,
1559
01:46:10,906 --> 01:46:15,703
"cry louder, why don't you? Cry louder.
He is a god you are crying to, isn't he?
1560
01:46:15,786 --> 01:46:18,539
Perhaps he's gone for a walk.
Peradventure he's asleep.
1561
01:46:18,622 --> 01:46:20,541
Cry louder. Wake him up."
1562
01:46:20,624 --> 01:46:24,587
All daylong he taunted at them
until hoarse with their shouting,
1563
01:46:24,670 --> 01:46:28,424
wearied with their paganistic dancing,
they were exhausted.
1564
01:46:28,507 --> 01:46:32,678
Yet no voice spoke. No voice answered.
1565
01:46:32,761 --> 01:46:37,433
Then Elijah went over
to an abandoned jehovah altar,
1566
01:46:37,516 --> 01:46:39,435
set upon it a sacrifice
1567
01:46:39,518 --> 01:46:41,478
and offered his prayer to jehovah,
1568
01:46:41,562 --> 01:46:44,440
not ranting or foaming or shouting.
1569
01:46:44,523 --> 01:46:48,235
And the answer came in fire
which consumed the offering.
1570
01:46:48,319 --> 01:46:52,031
Then the people looking on cried
as they fell on their faces,
1571
01:46:52,114 --> 01:46:56,076
"the lord... he is god.
The lord... he is god."
1572
01:46:59,204 --> 01:47:01,790
Now, I suggest to you
1573
01:47:02,750 --> 01:47:06,128
that america needs a prophet today,
1574
01:47:06,211 --> 01:47:09,965
a prophet who will
set before the nation
1575
01:47:10,049 --> 01:47:12,009
the essential choices.
1576
01:47:12,092 --> 01:47:16,263
In the words of that great poet
and essayist, j.B. Holland,
1577
01:47:16,347 --> 01:47:18,349
"god, give us men!
1578
01:47:18,432 --> 01:47:20,559
Men whom the lust
of office does not kill,
1579
01:47:20,643 --> 01:47:23,103
men whom the spoils
of office cannot buy,
1580
01:47:23,187 --> 01:47:26,315
men who possess opinions and a will,
1581
01:47:26,398 --> 01:47:29,026
men who have honor;
Men who will not lie,
1582
01:47:29,109 --> 01:47:31,612
men who can stand before a demagogue
1583
01:47:31,695 --> 01:47:34,323
and damn his treacherous flatteries
without winking!
1584
01:47:34,406 --> 01:47:37,868
Tall men, sun-crowned,
who live above the fog
1585
01:47:37,952 --> 01:47:40,788
in public duty and in private thinking."
1586
01:47:40,871 --> 01:47:46,335
Millions of people in america
live in moral fogs.
1587
01:47:46,418 --> 01:47:50,214
They move in a sort of spiritual twilight.
1588
01:47:50,297 --> 01:47:52,883
Modified immorality,
modified dishonesty
1589
01:47:52,967 --> 01:47:55,177
is the practice of millions more.
1590
01:47:55,260 --> 01:47:58,389
Surely the time has come for us
to be honest about it.
1591
01:47:58,472 --> 01:48:01,517
If we have thrown away
our national heritage,
1592
01:48:01,600 --> 01:48:05,813
if we no longer believe
that this nation was founded under god,
1593
01:48:05,896 --> 01:48:09,316
if, contrary to what
is stamped upon our coins,
1594
01:48:09,400 --> 01:48:13,570
our trust is not in god but in baal,
let us say so.
1595
01:48:13,654 --> 01:48:16,573
Let us, at least, not be hypocrites.
1596
01:48:16,657 --> 01:48:21,203
Yes, like the ancient Hebrew nation,
1597
01:48:21,286 --> 01:48:24,415
america needs a prophet like an Elijah,
1598
01:48:24,498 --> 01:48:28,419
a prophet who will have the ear of america
and who will say to her now,
1599
01:48:28,502 --> 01:48:33,007
"if the lord be god, then follow him.
1600
01:48:33,090 --> 01:48:37,428
But if baal, then follow him
and go to hell."
1601
01:48:40,472 --> 01:48:41,682
Let us pray.
1602
01:48:47,980 --> 01:48:50,274
- Good morning, Dr. Marshall.
- Good morning, miss Fowler.
1603
01:48:50,357 --> 01:48:54,778
- You seem quite natural.
- I'm afraid so.
1604
01:48:54,862 --> 01:48:56,947
A little memento of your return.
1605
01:48:57,698 --> 01:49:00,117
Why, miss Fowler. May I open it?
1606
01:49:00,200 --> 01:49:02,995
Oh, nothing really.
Just a little button
1607
01:49:03,078 --> 01:49:06,790
that I clipped from an old jacket that
I thought perhaps you might enjoy having.
1608
01:49:06,874 --> 01:49:08,792
Why, I'm overjoyed, miss Fowler.
1609
01:49:08,876 --> 01:49:11,295
Uh, did it come
from someone in your family?
1610
01:49:11,378 --> 01:49:13,380
A family friend.
1611
01:49:13,464 --> 01:49:17,676
A Scottish immigrant.
His name was Jones... John Paul Jones.
1612
01:49:18,719 --> 01:49:21,638
Why, miss Fowler,
thank you so much.
1613
01:49:21,722 --> 01:49:23,599
I can't tell you
what this means to me.
1614
01:49:30,397 --> 01:49:33,609
That was just her way of telling you
that everything is all right.
1615
01:49:33,692 --> 01:49:38,072
And everything is. Good evening.
I mean, good morning, Dr. Marshall.
1616
01:49:44,787 --> 01:49:47,790
Against all my betterjudgment,
may I present senators wiley and Prescott?
1617
01:49:47,873 --> 01:49:49,792
- How do you do?
- How do you do, gentlemen?
1618
01:49:49,875 --> 01:49:51,794
What do you mean
against your better judgment?
1619
01:49:51,877 --> 01:49:54,671
- One of my best friends is a senator.
- Well, that's encouraging.
1620
01:49:54,755 --> 01:49:58,133
Doctor, we have a... for want
of a better word... a proposition.
1621
01:49:58,217 --> 01:50:00,469
Uh, when would it be convenient
for you to talk it over?
1622
01:50:00,552 --> 01:50:03,680
- It's rather urgent.
- It is? Am I being investigated?
1623
01:50:03,764 --> 01:50:06,058
Your head should be
if you agree to listen.
1624
01:50:06,141 --> 01:50:07,768
Well, now I am curious.
1625
01:50:07,851 --> 01:50:10,979
Uh, while I'm changing,
why don't you go round to my study?
1626
01:50:11,063 --> 01:50:14,191
Not without Catherine.
Catherine?
1627
01:50:14,566 --> 01:50:16,485
Peter John, you go wait in the car.
1628
01:50:16,568 --> 01:50:18,070
I need her support.
1629
01:50:22,157 --> 01:50:24,868
Peter Marshall, chaplain
of the United States senate?
1630
01:50:24,952 --> 01:50:30,415
I... I couldn't be more highly
honored or more taken by surprise.
1631
01:50:30,499 --> 01:50:32,543
And that this should happen today,
1632
01:50:32,626 --> 01:50:35,462
the 10th anniversary of my becoming
an American citizen.
1633
01:50:35,546 --> 01:50:38,882
Peter, you can't consider it.
1634
01:50:38,966 --> 01:50:41,135
Peter, I owe you a great debt,
1635
01:50:41,218 --> 01:50:44,179
and I mean to repay that debt
by keeping you from doing this.
1636
01:50:45,889 --> 01:50:49,017
I'm afraid we didn't
realize the situation.
1637
01:50:49,101 --> 01:50:52,729
If the added duties of the chaplaincy
would imperil Dr. Marshall's health,
1638
01:50:52,813 --> 01:50:55,357
we'll merely express our deep regret
1639
01:50:55,440 --> 01:50:58,485
and to our colleagues tomorrow,
our deep disappointment.
1640
01:50:58,569 --> 01:51:02,531
Naturally. Much as we've wanted this, I...
1641
01:51:12,374 --> 01:51:13,792
Thank you, darling.
1642
01:51:13,876 --> 01:51:15,878
I'll be waiting in the car
with Peter John.
1643
01:51:48,202 --> 01:51:50,537
The senate will be in order.
1644
01:51:50,621 --> 01:51:53,790
Our new chaplain, Dr. Peter Marshall,
1645
01:51:53,874 --> 01:51:55,876
will offer the prayer.
1646
01:52:03,467 --> 01:52:05,510
Our father in heaven,
1647
01:52:05,594 --> 01:52:10,682
we pray for the members of this body
and their several responsibilities.
1648
01:52:10,766 --> 01:52:12,976
Make them see, dear lord,
1649
01:52:13,060 --> 01:52:16,063
that you are not the god
of any one party,
1650
01:52:16,146 --> 01:52:19,900
of any one nation or of any one race.
1651
01:52:19,983 --> 01:52:25,405
Teach us that freedom may be seen,
not as the right to do as we please,
1652
01:52:25,489 --> 01:52:28,033
but as the opportunity
to do what is right.
1653
01:52:28,116 --> 01:52:30,744
Give us the courage
to stand for something
1654
01:52:30,827 --> 01:52:32,746
lest we fall for anything.
1655
01:52:32,829 --> 01:52:36,250
Save us from hot heads
that would lead us to act foolishly
1656
01:52:36,333 --> 01:52:39,836
and from cold feet
that would keep us from acting at all.
1657
01:52:39,920 --> 01:52:43,590
Create new warmth and love
between the members of the senate
1658
01:52:43,674 --> 01:52:47,761
so that they may go at their work,
not headfirst, but heart first.
1659
01:52:47,844 --> 01:52:52,516
Help us, our father, to show
other nations an america to imitate,
1660
01:52:52,599 --> 01:52:55,686
an america that loves fair play,
honest dealing,
1661
01:52:55,769 --> 01:52:59,606
straight talk,
real freedom and faith in god.
1662
01:52:59,690 --> 01:53:02,067
Help us make this god's own country
1663
01:53:02,150 --> 01:53:05,028
by living like god's own people.
1664
01:53:05,112 --> 01:53:06,405
Amen.
1665
01:53:11,118 --> 01:53:13,328
Catherine, I'm afraid
you'll have to ask the blessing.
1666
01:53:13,412 --> 01:53:16,832
The lord knows I'm not grateful
for Turkey hash, and I can't fool him.
1667
01:53:21,920 --> 01:53:24,464
J“ and for bonny j“
1668
01:53:24,548 --> 01:53:28,719
j“ Annie Laurie j“
1669
01:53:28,802 --> 01:53:32,723
j“ I'd/ay j“
1670
01:53:32,806 --> 01:53:35,392
j“ ll/le doon j“
1671
01:53:35,475 --> 01:53:39,688
j“ and Dee j“j“
1672
01:53:40,981 --> 01:53:43,317
- that was for you, my love.
- Thank you.
1673
01:53:43,400 --> 01:53:45,944
And that concludes our concert
for this evening.
1674
01:53:46,028 --> 01:53:48,196
It's already 45 minutes
past Peter John's bedtime.
1675
01:53:48,280 --> 01:53:50,324
Gosh, mom. Daddy's home tonight.
1676
01:53:50,407 --> 01:53:52,242
Daddy's had a long, hard day too.
1677
01:53:52,326 --> 01:53:54,766
You run upstairs and brush your teeth.
I'll be up in a minute.
1678
01:53:55,662 --> 01:53:57,581
- Uh, Jeff hasn't had his walk yet.
- Yeah!
1679
01:53:57,664 --> 01:53:59,784
Don't you want daddy and me
to take Jeff for his walk?
1680
01:54:00,459 --> 01:54:02,336
- Oh, let's all go, the four of us.
- Oh, boy.
1681
01:54:02,419 --> 01:54:03,754
Hi, Jeff! Hi, Jeff!
1682
01:54:04,421 --> 01:54:06,590
Why, just once,
couldn't you go to bed early?
1683
01:54:06,673 --> 01:54:08,592
I will, darling, tomorrow night.
Not tonight.
1684
01:54:25,776 --> 01:54:27,486
How I love this place.
1685
01:54:28,487 --> 01:54:31,281
With all that isn't quite right about it,
think of all that is.
1686
01:54:34,534 --> 01:54:37,871
You can feel it beating,
the pulse of Liberty for the world.
1687
01:54:41,333 --> 01:54:43,543
I'm so grateful to have been
a small part of it.
1688
01:54:54,638 --> 01:54:57,974
Catherine, I'm in great pain.
1689
01:54:59,226 --> 01:55:00,852
Would you please call the doctor?
1690
01:55:12,531 --> 01:55:15,826
I'll call the ambulance.
I'll call from downstairs.
1691
01:55:19,496 --> 01:55:21,415
Sneaky fellow, isn't he?
1692
01:55:22,749 --> 01:55:24,918
I'll get dressed and come
to the hospital with you.
1693
01:55:25,001 --> 01:55:27,212
No, you cannot.
1694
01:55:27,295 --> 01:55:29,464
You... you can't leave our son.
1695
01:55:35,262 --> 01:55:37,180
See you, darling.
1696
01:55:37,264 --> 01:55:38,682
See you in the morning.
1697
01:56:10,714 --> 01:56:12,632
I'm all clean... brushed my teeth.
1698
01:56:16,386 --> 01:56:17,888
What's the matter, mommy?
1699
01:56:37,407 --> 01:56:39,451
Peter Marshall's final prayer.
1700
01:56:42,871 --> 01:56:45,081
"Oh, god, open our eyes
1701
01:56:45,165 --> 01:56:48,543
and let us see
how simple a man's life can be.
1702
01:56:50,337 --> 01:56:54,132
Where we cannot convince"...
1703
01:56:54,216 --> 01:56:56,384
"Let us be willing to persuade.
1704
01:56:59,012 --> 01:57:02,891
For small deeds done are better
than great deeds planned."
1705
01:57:04,893 --> 01:57:05,936
Amen.
1706
01:57:06,937 --> 01:57:10,357
With the summer,
Peter John and I went back to Cape Cod
1707
01:57:10,440 --> 01:57:12,609
ll/lr. Briscoe had opened the house.
1708
01:57:12,692 --> 01:57:15,278
A friendly ne/ghbor
had launched Peter John is boat.
1709
01:57:16,196 --> 01:57:18,031
Nothing seemed changed
1710
01:57:19,533 --> 01:57:20,825
come on, Jeff.
1711
01:57:21,701 --> 01:57:24,371
The shutters Peter had painted
were just as blue.
1712
01:57:25,205 --> 01:57:28,667
The little red roses he had planted
were bursting into bloom.
1713
01:57:30,043 --> 01:57:31,795
Nothing seemed changed
1714
01:57:44,599 --> 01:57:45,850
Peter John, no!
1715
01:57:49,854 --> 01:57:52,274
Peter John, you can't take the boat out.
1716
01:57:52,357 --> 01:57:54,776
- Why?
- You're too little, darling.
1717
01:57:54,859 --> 01:57:57,654
- Daddy didn't think so.
- But daddy isn't...
1718
01:57:57,737 --> 01:57:59,447
Why don't you come with me?
1719
01:58:00,198 --> 01:58:02,993
Don't you remember?
I can't. I get...
1720
01:58:03,368 --> 01:58:06,079
Please, mom, just this once.
1721
01:58:06,162 --> 01:58:07,414
Please?
1722
01:58:49,372 --> 01:58:50,874
A bonny boat.
1723
01:58:58,590 --> 01:59:00,008
See you, darling.
1724
01:59:01,051 --> 01:59:02,636
See you in the morning.
