1
00:01:30,573 --> 00:01:32,700
This is Glasgow, Scotland.
2
00:01:32,809 --> 00:01:35,710
The year is 1915.
3
00:01:35,812 --> 00:01:40,511
This is the story of a man
and his close friendship with God.
4
00:01:40,617 --> 00:01:43,916
His name... Peter Marshall.
5
00:01:44,020 --> 00:01:47,387
As a boy, his home was in Coatbridge
nine miles away...
6
00:01:47,490 --> 00:01:49,822
but his heart belonged to the sea.
7
00:01:59,903 --> 00:02:01,871
Oh!
8
00:02:05,808 --> 00:02:08,436
How's that?
9
00:02:13,883 --> 00:02:15,817
Aha! What do we have here?
10
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,581
- It's that Findlay lad again.
- My name is Peter Marshall!
11
00:02:18,688 --> 00:02:21,156
Marshall... Findlay...
Nuisance suits you the best!
12
00:02:21,257 --> 00:02:24,090
This time I'm puttin'
an end to your pranks.
13
00:02:29,098 --> 00:02:31,464
- This young rooster belong to you?
- Aye. Aye, he does.
14
00:02:31,568 --> 00:02:34,350
- What's he been up to?
- Three times in as many weeks, they tell me...
15
00:02:34,370 --> 00:02:36,497
he's been caught trying
to sneak aboard the ship.
16
00:02:36,606 --> 00:02:38,733
Wants to go to sea, he says.
17
00:02:38,841 --> 00:02:40,968
He's gettin' off
with a warnin' this time...
18
00:02:41,077 --> 00:02:44,308
but catch him on the docks again,
and you'll be held responsible.
19
00:02:47,483 --> 00:02:51,078
Dragged along like a common thief
for all the street to see-
20
00:02:51,187 --> 00:02:53,155
I always knew you'd disgrace us.
21
00:02:53,256 --> 00:02:56,487
Then why didn't you give me your consent
when I wanted to join the Royal Navy?
22
00:02:56,593 --> 00:02:59,289
Ah! There's his gratitude
for all the advantages we gave him-
23
00:02:59,395 --> 00:03:02,762
piano lessons for the young gentleman,
day school for the young gentleman.
24
00:03:02,865 --> 00:03:05,834
- I'm through with both.
- Are ya now?
25
00:03:05,935 --> 00:03:08,062
Then you'll go to work
and start paying your way.
26
00:03:08,171 --> 00:03:10,639
You'll find yourselfa job, and you'll-
27
00:03:10,740 --> 00:03:13,300
There now, you've made me late for mine.
28
00:03:14,911 --> 00:03:17,209
The first time in 13 years!
29
00:03:19,782 --> 00:03:22,876
Peter, you must go back to school.
30
00:03:22,986 --> 00:03:26,046
After me making such a fool of myself...
31
00:03:26,155 --> 00:03:28,521
tellin' everyone good-bye...
32
00:03:28,625 --> 00:03:31,355
braggin' about the big things
I was going to do?
33
00:03:31,461 --> 00:03:33,827
You'll still do the big things, Peter...
34
00:03:33,930 --> 00:03:37,229
if you'll but swallowyour pride
and get your education.
35
00:03:37,333 --> 00:03:39,563
You can make me so proud of you.
36
00:03:39,669 --> 00:03:41,637
You can be so proud of yourself.
37
00:03:41,738 --> 00:03:45,196
Do you think I could live
on Mr. Findlay any longer...
38
00:03:45,308 --> 00:03:47,936
after what he said about payin' my way?
39
00:03:48,044 --> 00:03:51,411
I'll get a job all right,
but I'll start to night school.
40
00:03:51,514 --> 00:03:53,744
Oh. Oh, thank you, son.
41
00:03:53,850 --> 00:03:58,253
But I'm not givin' up.
Somehow, someday, I'll go to sea.
42
00:03:58,354 --> 00:04:00,515
Mmm. Of courseyou will...
43
00:04:00,623 --> 00:04:03,956
ifit's God's plan forya.
44
00:04:04,060 --> 00:04:07,826
Maybe this is one of the times
that Granny used to talk about...
45
00:04:07,930 --> 00:04:10,831
when God slams a door in yourface...
46
00:04:10,933 --> 00:04:14,061
that he may guideyou to the one
through which he wants you to pass.
47
00:04:14,170 --> 00:04:16,070
Hmm?
48
00:04:16,172 --> 00:04:19,539
Life followeda common pattern
forthe young men ofCoatbridge.
49
00:04:19,642 --> 00:04:23,772
As their fathers and grandfathers
before them, they went to work in the mills.
50
00:04:29,319 --> 00:04:32,049
For seven years, Peter had paid his way.
51
00:04:32,155 --> 00:04:35,591
When fortunate enough to work
full-time, nine hours a day...
52
00:04:35,692 --> 00:04:38,593
he earned the equivalent
ofnine dollars a week...
53
00:04:38,695 --> 00:04:42,791
barely enough to reimburse his stepfather,
Mr. Findlay, for room and board...
54
00:04:42,899 --> 00:04:47,359
and to pay for the night classes
he still stubbornly attended.
55
00:05:21,604 --> 00:05:23,572
Who is it?
56
00:05:46,362 --> 00:05:48,387
Speak up. What do you want?
57
00:05:54,804 --> 00:05:56,772
Oh!
58
00:06:24,934 --> 00:06:28,267
So it was you who called to me.
59
00:06:28,371 --> 00:06:30,339
Why?
60
00:06:32,041 --> 00:06:35,010
Now I know what's been holding me back.
61
00:06:35,111 --> 00:06:38,080
I'd forgotten that it was you
who calls the signals.
62
00:06:39,782 --> 00:06:42,410
But have I got you right this time?
63
00:06:43,519 --> 00:06:46,079
Do you really mean what I think you do?
64
00:06:56,566 --> 00:07:00,559
# Ye'll take the high road
and I'll take the low road #
65
00:07:00,670 --> 00:07:04,401
# And I'll be in Scotland aforeye #
66
00:07:04,507 --> 00:07:08,967
# Where me and my true love
were ever wont to gae #
67
00:07:09,078 --> 00:07:13,139
# On the bonny, bonny banks #
68
00:07:13,249 --> 00:07:16,241
# Of Loch Lomond ##
69
00:07:16,352 --> 00:07:19,150
- Son, do you want to waken Mr. Findlay?
- Oh, Mother.
70
00:07:19,255 --> 00:07:21,895
- You passed in French?
- I did not. I flopped as flat as a kipper.
71
00:07:21,958 --> 00:07:23,926
Oh, no.
72
00:07:24,026 --> 00:07:26,358
Then what are you so happy about?
73
00:07:26,462 --> 00:07:29,090
Uh, not that it isn't good
to feel contented with your lot.
74
00:07:29,198 --> 00:07:33,498
Contented? Oh, that's a pale word
for what I'm feeling.
75
00:07:33,603 --> 00:07:36,071
Tonight in the fog, the heavens opened.
76
00:07:36,172 --> 00:07:39,232
They actually did, and now I know
what I'm going to do.
77
00:07:39,342 --> 00:07:42,368
Just when I thought my life was
worth nothing, the Lord asked for it...
78
00:07:42,478 --> 00:07:45,572
told me he had a use for it
and what was his plan for me.
79
00:07:45,681 --> 00:07:48,115
And what's that, Peter?
80
00:07:48,217 --> 00:07:50,685
He wants me to be a minister.
81
00:07:50,786 --> 00:07:53,414
- A minister, Peter?
- Aye.
82
00:07:53,523 --> 00:07:55,753
- Aren't you pleased?
- Oh.
83
00:07:55,858 --> 00:07:58,292
My cup runneth over.
84
00:07:58,394 --> 00:08:01,625
- But it'll take a bit of doing.
- Oh, he knows that...
85
00:08:01,731 --> 00:08:03,858
and already he's getting to work on it.
86
00:08:03,966 --> 00:08:06,594
- He's sending me to America.
- Oh.
87
00:08:10,072 --> 00:08:11,972
Three years later...
88
00:08:12,074 --> 00:08:15,066
by working double shifts at the mill,
byscrimping andsaving...
89
00:08:15,177 --> 00:08:17,805
Peter left his beloved Scotland.
90
00:08:20,850 --> 00:08:22,943
With faith and trust in his heart...
91
00:08:23,052 --> 00:08:27,489
and $50 in his old brown wallet,
he arrived in America.
92
00:08:27,590 --> 00:08:31,151
Now all he had to do was wait
for further instructions from the Lord...
93
00:08:31,260 --> 00:08:33,888
or as Peter put it,
"orders from the chief."
94
00:08:33,996 --> 00:08:38,228
- Al most. Whoa! That's it.
- But the chief took his time in communicating with Peter...
95
00:08:38,334 --> 00:08:40,564
as he frequently does with all ofus.
96
00:08:40,670 --> 00:08:43,605
So, while he waited,
Peter worked at a variety ofjobs...
97
00:08:43,706 --> 00:08:45,606
finally for an excavating company...
98
00:08:45,708 --> 00:08:48,040
digging his way across
the state of New Jersey...
99
00:08:48,144 --> 00:08:50,442
through the blistering heat ofmidsummer...
100
00:08:50,546 --> 00:08:55,415
and wondering how all this was bringing him
closer to the ministry.
101
00:08:55,518 --> 00:08:58,749
When all seemed futile, God opened a door-
102
00:08:58,854 --> 00:09:03,188
the door ofColumbia Theological Seminary
in Decatur, Georgia...
103
00:09:03,292 --> 00:09:07,194
where fouryears later
he was graduated summa cum laude.
104
00:09:07,296 --> 00:09:09,594
I t's most unusual, Peter,
for a young m i nister...
105
00:09:09,699 --> 00:09:12,167
to begin his career with a choice of calls.
106
00:09:12,268 --> 00:09:15,635
One of them is highly flattering-
a large church in Atlanta.
107
00:09:15,738 --> 00:09:19,697
Hmm. I am flattered and highly honored.
108
00:09:19,809 --> 00:09:21,777
And what's the other call?
109
00:09:21,877 --> 00:09:24,243
The little town ofCovington, Georgia.
110
00:09:25,881 --> 00:09:27,906
You may take a little time, Peter.
111
00:09:28,017 --> 00:09:30,986
Perhaps there's someone with whom
you'd like to talk it over.
112
00:09:33,623 --> 00:09:36,421
Aye, there is, sir. There is indeed.
113
00:09:36,525 --> 00:09:38,891
Hmm.
114
00:09:38,995 --> 00:09:42,055
Peterput the question
squarely before the Lord-
115
00:09:42,164 --> 00:09:44,189
Where did he wish him to begin his work?
116
00:09:44,300 --> 00:09:46,860
The answer came-
117
00:09:46,969 --> 00:09:50,200
the lovely little town of Covington.
118
00:09:50,306 --> 00:09:53,207
After a joyous ministry in Covington...
119
00:09:53,309 --> 00:09:57,439
Peter received a second call
to the large church in Atlanta...
120
00:09:57,546 --> 00:10:00,174
a church with
an indifferent congregation...
121
00:10:00,282 --> 00:10:03,251
and encumbered by debt.
122
00:10:03,352 --> 00:10:08,312
Soon he drew such crowds it was necessary
to build a balcony to accommodate them.
123
00:10:08,424 --> 00:10:10,790
For those still forced to stand outside...
124
00:10:10,893 --> 00:10:14,693
loudspeakers were installed
so that they could hear him preach.
125
00:10:17,366 --> 00:10:20,494
Young people came in droves
from the nearby colleges-
126
00:10:20,603 --> 00:10:23,970
Emory, Oglethorpe,
Georgia Tech andAgnes Scott.
127
00:10:24,073 --> 00:10:27,042
I was Catherine Wood,
the girl in the tan dress...
128
00:10:27,143 --> 00:10:29,168
a senior at Agnes Scott College.
129
00:10:29,278 --> 00:10:31,246
Oh, m iss. Oh, m iss, I'm sorry.
130
00:10:31,347 --> 00:10:33,315
I t's al I right. Thank you.
131
00:10:42,158 --> 00:10:45,616
For two years, I'd been listening
to Peterpreach.
132
00:10:45,728 --> 00:10:50,165
For two years, I'd been living
just forSunday mornings.
133
00:10:50,266 --> 00:10:53,565
Was Peter touched by such devotion?
134
00:10:53,669 --> 00:10:56,433
He didn't know I existed.
135
00:10:56,539 --> 00:10:59,099
There are men and women
i n the world today...
136
00:10:59,208 --> 00:11:02,769
who say that God orders their lives...
137
00:11:02,878 --> 00:11:04,846
guides them in making decisions...
138
00:11:04,947 --> 00:11:07,882
provides for their needs,
answers their prayers...
139
00:11:07,983 --> 00:11:11,544
in ways which are often
strange and unexpected.
140
00:11:14,056 --> 00:11:18,117
That is the testimony
of my own experience...
141
00:11:18,227 --> 00:11:21,094
and there are many here who could
make the same statement.
142
00:11:21,197 --> 00:11:24,132
But if you yourselfhave not had
that experience in your life...
143
00:11:24,233 --> 00:11:26,861
don't be too quick
tojump to the conclusion...
144
00:11:26,969 --> 00:11:30,700
that we who saythese things are daft, mad.
145
00:11:30,806 --> 00:11:32,831
I n that mood...
146
00:11:32,942 --> 00:11:35,410
many of us approach spiritual things.
147
00:11:35,511 --> 00:11:38,071
We come, like Thomas, not doubting...
148
00:11:38,180 --> 00:11:41,479
but dogmatically refusing
to believe unless we see...
149
00:11:41,584 --> 00:11:44,781
as ifwe could pour God into a test tube...
150
00:11:44,887 --> 00:11:47,913
as ifintangibles had to become tangible...
151
00:11:48,023 --> 00:11:50,218
in order to prove
that they were intangible.
152
00:11:51,861 --> 00:11:56,889
There are certain things
that must be approached in faith-
153
00:11:56,999 --> 00:12:00,196
things that are matters of perception...
154
00:12:00,302 --> 00:12:02,270
not of proof.
155
00:12:03,405 --> 00:12:05,373
Beauty is one of them.
156
00:12:05,474 --> 00:12:08,910
How can you prove
that anything is beautiful?
157
00:12:09,011 --> 00:12:12,640
Could you demonstrate to me
by logic or reason or by intellect...
158
00:12:12,748 --> 00:12:17,447
that the Fifth Symphony or
the "Moonlight Sonata" were sheer beauty?
159
00:12:17,553 --> 00:12:20,113
Can you prove by any method of intellect...
160
00:12:20,222 --> 00:12:23,020
why a sunset is beautiful?
161
00:12:23,125 --> 00:12:26,492
Describe to me scientifically...
162
00:12:26,595 --> 00:12:29,393
the haunting, wistful fragrance...
163
00:12:30,432 --> 00:12:32,332
of a bunch of violets.
164
00:12:32,434 --> 00:12:35,062
Yet you come here professing the faith...
165
00:12:35,171 --> 00:12:37,298
which formore than 19 centuries...
166
00:12:37,406 --> 00:12:39,874
has borne witness to spiritual realities...
167
00:12:39,975 --> 00:12:43,172
and you ask if one can prove
that God exists!
168
00:12:43,279 --> 00:12:45,509
You ask me to prove it.
169
00:12:45,614 --> 00:12:48,845
How could my tiny mind prove God?
170
00:12:48,951 --> 00:12:52,045
What kind of a god
could my little mind prove?
171
00:12:52,154 --> 00:12:55,385
You might as well ask the bird to prove
the air in which it flies...
172
00:12:55,491 --> 00:12:58,619
or the minnow to prove
the sea in which it swims.
173
00:13:01,430 --> 00:13:05,890
Let me ask you to prove that you exist.
174
00:13:08,137 --> 00:13:10,765
I'd be interested in hearing you try.
175
00:13:11,941 --> 00:13:14,068
There are mysteries all around us-
176
00:13:14,176 --> 00:13:16,872
stirring, wonderful, inexplicable.
177
00:13:16,979 --> 00:13:21,541
Take, for example,
the strange phenomenon of falling in love.
178
00:13:21,650 --> 00:13:23,618
Haveyou everasked the question...
179
00:13:23,719 --> 00:13:25,880
"How will I know when I fall in love?"
180
00:13:25,988 --> 00:13:27,888
I have.
181
00:13:27,990 --> 00:13:30,481
I've asked it of blondes and brunettes...
182
00:13:30,593 --> 00:13:33,960
of redheads and of bald heads-
of people everywhere.
183
00:13:34,063 --> 00:13:37,692
And the strange thing is, I've always
received the same answer, namely...
184
00:13:39,535 --> 00:13:42,902
"Don't worry, brother. You'll know."
185
00:13:45,341 --> 00:13:47,468
Love, like beauty...
186
00:13:48,744 --> 00:13:52,339
like the haunting,
wistful fragrance of violets...
187
00:13:52,481 --> 00:13:57,180
is a matter ofperception
and experience, not ofproof.
188
00:13:57,286 --> 00:14:00,084
The great things by which we really live...
189
00:14:00,189 --> 00:14:02,419
are not proven by logic...
190
00:14:03,525 --> 00:14:05,493
but by life.
191
00:14:06,662 --> 00:14:10,621
And as that is true of love and beauty...
192
00:14:12,134 --> 00:14:15,695
so it is true of finding God...
193
00:14:17,172 --> 00:14:20,266
and learning how close he stands to us.
194
00:14:23,112 --> 00:14:25,080
Let us pray.
195
00:14:49,772 --> 00:14:52,138
It was a fine sermon.
We thoroughly enjoyed it.
196
00:14:52,241 --> 00:14:55,005
Dr. Marshall, as always,
you were simply superb...
197
00:14:55,110 --> 00:14:58,477
- but Mary has something to say.
- Yes.
198
00:15:14,096 --> 00:15:16,724
Yes, it is an interesting
and worth while idea...
199
00:15:16,832 --> 00:15:18,732
and we'd be delighted to cooperate.
200
00:15:18,834 --> 00:15:20,734
Good-bye, Dr. Marshall.
201
00:15:20,836 --> 00:15:24,237
Don't mean to eavesdrop, Miss Hopkins,
but I couldn't help overhearin'.
202
00:15:24,340 --> 00:15:26,467
- That was Dr. Marshall, wasn't it?
- Yes, Emma.
203
00:15:26,575 --> 00:15:30,272
He'd like to borrow one of our girls
for a few hours Saturday afternoon.
204
00:15:30,379 --> 00:15:32,506
- What's that?
- She'll be one of four students...
205
00:15:32,614 --> 00:15:35,174
speaking at a youth rally at Mason Corners.
206
00:15:35,284 --> 00:15:37,343
District has a serious problem-
207
00:15:37,453 --> 00:15:39,546
bootleggers enjoying a holiday...
208
00:15:39,655 --> 00:15:41,714
peddling their poison liquor
to young people.
209
00:15:41,824 --> 00:15:45,851
Hmm. Mere teenagers
their best customers too.
210
00:15:45,961 --> 00:15:48,088
- I wonder if...
- Miss Hopkins.
211
00:15:48,197 --> 00:15:51,166
Don't go any further. Don't go searching
through that list no further.
212
00:15:51,266 --> 00:15:54,724
There's just one girl-
just absolutely one who'll fill the bill.
213
00:15:54,837 --> 00:15:57,601
Pretty, but not gaudy.
Smart and not show-offy.
214
00:15:57,706 --> 00:16:00,675
Talks good. Nice manners.
215
00:16:00,776 --> 00:16:04,473
It was one of those
rare and wonderful moments...
216
00:16:04,580 --> 00:16:08,380
when what seems too good
to be true is true.
217
00:16:08,484 --> 00:16:11,385
Peter Marshall was calling for me.
218
00:16:11,487 --> 00:16:14,388
A student from Emory was bringing
a girl from Oglethorpe...
219
00:16:14,490 --> 00:16:17,516
and a fullback from Georgia Tech
was coming by himself.
220
00:16:17,626 --> 00:16:20,254
Peter would discover me
among the magnolias...
221
00:16:20,362 --> 00:16:22,922
reading Sonnets from the Portuguese.
222
00:16:23,032 --> 00:16:26,092
Then it would be Peter and I
driving alone together.
223
00:16:26,201 --> 00:16:28,829
Perhaps when we return from the rally...
224
00:16:28,937 --> 00:16:33,738
the night would be one of those blowy,
mysterious nights I always love so much.
225
00:16:33,842 --> 00:16:37,300
And Mason Corners was 50 miles away.
226
00:16:40,416 --> 00:16:42,748
Miss Wood!
227
00:16:58,167 --> 00:17:00,482
- How do you do, Miss Wood?
- Good afternoon, Dr. Marshall.
228
00:17:00,502 --> 00:17:03,198
Ah. And this is Miss Standish, our pianist.
229
00:17:03,305 --> 00:17:06,433
How do you do?
230
00:17:06,542 --> 00:17:08,510
Hello.
231
00:17:34,903 --> 00:17:37,303
On the way back, you'll be
more comfortable, Miss Wood.
232
00:17:38,540 --> 00:17:41,008
Our boy from Georgia Tech
will driveyou home.
233
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:54,684
Hey, Willie! Save us a seat, will ya?
234
00:17:54,790 --> 00:17:56,690
Okay!
235
00:18:04,032 --> 00:18:08,093
Now, the good ladies of Mason Corners
have arranged this gathering...
236
00:18:08,203 --> 00:18:10,433
for a serious purpose...
a Christian purpose.
237
00:18:10,539 --> 00:18:13,940
But whoever said that
Christianity can't be fun...
238
00:18:14,042 --> 00:18:16,010
or that fun can't be Christian?
239
00:18:16,111 --> 00:18:19,171
Whoeversaid that the Lord likeda long face?
240
00:18:19,281 --> 00:18:23,843
He likes us to laugh and enjoy ourselves and
enjoy living, and that's what we're going to do.
241
00:18:23,952 --> 00:18:26,648
So to break the ice...
242
00:18:26,755 --> 00:18:29,053
supposi ng we start with a song-
243
00:18:29,158 --> 00:18:31,524
What'll it be?
244
00:18:31,627 --> 00:18:35,563
How about "Tattooed Rosie
from New Orleans"?
245
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:40,368
Well, I-I'm afraid I don't know "Rosie,"
246
00:18:40,469 --> 00:18:43,267
but how would it be
ifl sang you an old Scottish song?
247
00:18:46,775 --> 00:18:48,766
Down in front!
248
00:18:48,877 --> 00:18:51,778
Well, maybe after
the serious business is through...
249
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:53,973
we'll feel more like singing.
250
00:18:54,082 --> 00:18:58,178
Now, the sign at the entrance
advertises me as a speaker.
251
00:18:58,287 --> 00:19:01,120
Well, I have a surprise foryou.
I'm not going to speak.
252
00:19:01,223 --> 00:19:03,191
Good!
253
00:19:06,094 --> 00:19:08,790
You're right. This is
a young people's meeting...
254
00:19:08,897 --> 00:19:11,593
and you're going to hear
the ideas of young people.
255
00:19:11,700 --> 00:19:15,602
So first, that nice young girl,
Jane Whitney...
256
00:19:15,704 --> 00:19:17,672
from Oglethorpe University.
257
00:19:17,773 --> 00:19:20,333
Come up, Jane.
258
00:19:20,442 --> 00:19:24,742
Dr. Marshall, I can't. I just can't!
259
00:19:24,846 --> 00:19:28,714
Don't worry, Dr. Marshall.
I'll take care of her.
260
00:19:28,817 --> 00:19:31,513
- Uh, you come up, Bruce.
- Not me, Dr. Marshall.
261
00:19:31,620 --> 00:19:33,986
I plumb forgot my speech.
262
00:19:40,229 --> 00:19:43,255
Well, I've certainly laid an egg.
263
00:19:43,365 --> 00:19:45,333
Dr. Marshall, you're forgetting me.
264
00:19:45,434 --> 00:19:48,164
Oh, no, Miss Wood. Now, it's no use.
They'll not listen.
265
00:19:55,410 --> 00:19:59,540
If that's because I'm a girl,
thank you, boys.
266
00:19:59,648 --> 00:20:03,778
And now, if you'll let me,
I'd like to talk, as a girl...
267
00:20:03,885 --> 00:20:06,353
to the girls here this afternoon.
268
00:20:06,455 --> 00:20:09,356
I know if you boys will listen,
they'll listen too.
269
00:20:09,458 --> 00:20:11,824
And I'm just as sure
that the only reason...
270
00:20:11,927 --> 00:20:14,225
they've been just as rude and silly
as you've been...
271
00:20:14,329 --> 00:20:19,062
is because they have the mistaken idea
that you wanted them to be.
272
00:20:19,167 --> 00:20:24,366
I never thought much about being a girl...
273
00:20:24,473 --> 00:20:26,703
until two years ago...
274
00:20:26,808 --> 00:20:31,268
when I learned from a man what
a wonderful thing it is to be a woman.
275
00:20:33,949 --> 00:20:36,850
Until that Sunday morning...
276
00:20:36,952 --> 00:20:40,718
I'd considered myselflucky to be living
in the 20th century...
277
00:20:40,822 --> 00:20:44,451
the century of progress and emancipation...
278
00:20:44,559 --> 00:20:49,155
the century when supposedly
we women came into our own.
279
00:20:50,432 --> 00:20:52,400
But I'dforgotten...
280
00:20:52,501 --> 00:20:57,404
that the emancipation of woman
really began with Christianity...
281
00:20:57,506 --> 00:21:00,600
when a girl... a very young girl...
282
00:21:00,709 --> 00:21:04,110
received the greatest honor i n history.
283
00:21:04,212 --> 00:21:08,171
She was chosen to be the mother
of the savior of the world.
284
00:21:08,283 --> 00:21:12,083
And when her son grew up
and began to teach his way of life...
285
00:21:12,187 --> 00:21:15,953
he ushered woman into a new place
in human relations.
286
00:21:16,058 --> 00:21:20,392
He accorded her a dignity
she'd never known before...
287
00:21:20,495 --> 00:21:24,761
and crowned her with such glory
that down through the ages...
288
00:21:24,866 --> 00:21:27,926
she was revered, protected and loved.
289
00:21:28,036 --> 00:21:30,937
Men wanted to think ofher
as different from themselves-
290
00:21:31,039 --> 00:21:35,635
better, made offiner, more delicate clay.
291
00:21:37,079 --> 00:21:40,412
It remained for the 20th century...
292
00:21:40,515 --> 00:21:42,881
the centuryofprogress...
293
00:21:42,984 --> 00:21:45,680
to pull her down from herthrone.
294
00:21:45,787 --> 00:21:48,017
She wanted equality.
295
00:21:48,123 --> 00:21:51,820
For 1,900years, she had not been equal.
296
00:21:51,927 --> 00:21:54,555
She had been superior.
297
00:21:54,663 --> 00:22:00,260
T o stand equal with men,
naturally she had to step down.
298
00:22:00,369 --> 00:22:03,133
Now, being equal with men...
299
00:22:03,238 --> 00:22:06,207
she has won all their
rights and privileges-
300
00:22:06,308 --> 00:22:09,766
the right to get drunk,
the right to swear...
301
00:22:09,878 --> 00:22:13,780
the right to smoke,
the right to work like a man...
302
00:22:13,882 --> 00:22:16,908
to think like a man, to act like a man.
303
00:22:17,018 --> 00:22:18,918
We've won all this...
304
00:22:19,020 --> 00:22:22,217
but how can we feel so triumphant...
305
00:22:22,324 --> 00:22:25,953
when men no longer feel
as romantic about us...
306
00:22:26,061 --> 00:22:28,621
as they did about our grandmothers...
307
00:22:28,730 --> 00:22:32,689
when we've lost something
sweet and mysterious...
308
00:22:32,801 --> 00:22:36,760
something as... as hard to describe as-
309
00:22:36,872 --> 00:22:41,400
as the haunting,
wistful fragrance of violets?
310
00:22:41,510 --> 00:22:45,947
Of course, these aren't
my original thoughts.
311
00:22:46,047 --> 00:22:49,312
They are the thoughts
I heard that Sunday morning.
312
00:22:49,418 --> 00:22:53,650
But from them, some thoughts
of my own were born...
313
00:22:53,755 --> 00:22:55,848
and the conclusion reached...
314
00:22:55,957 --> 00:23:00,053
that somewhere along the line,
we women got off the track.
315
00:23:01,229 --> 00:23:03,527
Poets have become immortal...
316
00:23:03,632 --> 00:23:08,001
by remembering on paper a girl's smile.
317
00:23:08,103 --> 00:23:13,040
But I've never read a poem rhapsodizing over
a girl's giggles at a smuttyjoke.
318
00:23:13,141 --> 00:23:15,268
Orl've neverhearda man brag...
319
00:23:15,377 --> 00:23:20,974
that his sweetheart or his wife could drink just
as much as he and become just as intoxicated.
320
00:23:21,082 --> 00:23:23,050
I've never heard a man say...
321
00:23:23,151 --> 00:23:26,917
that a girl's mouth was prettier
with a cigarette hanging out of it...
322
00:23:27,022 --> 00:23:30,048
or that her hair smelled divinely
of stale tobacco.
323
00:23:40,435 --> 00:23:43,404
I'm afraid that's all I have to say.
324
00:23:43,505 --> 00:23:45,735
I've never made a speech before.
325
00:23:49,911 --> 00:23:53,210
Right on top of that, we've got to
have a song. Let's make it a good one.
326
00:23:54,516 --> 00:23:56,450
# Oh, that old time religion #
327
00:23:56,551 --> 00:23:58,519
# Oh, that old time religion #
328
00:23:58,620 --> 00:24:02,681
# Oh, that old time religion
It's good enough for me #
329
00:24:02,791 --> 00:24:05,089
# It was good enough for Moses #
330
00:24:05,193 --> 00:24:07,286
# It was good enough for Moses #
331
00:24:07,395 --> 00:24:09,420
# It was good enough for Moses #
332
00:24:09,531 --> 00:24:11,431
# And it's good enough for me #
333
00:24:11,533 --> 00:24:13,626
# It was good enough for Daniel #
334
00:24:13,735 --> 00:24:15,828
# It was good enough for Daniel #
335
00:24:15,937 --> 00:24:17,928
# It was good enough for Daniel #
336
00:24:18,039 --> 00:24:20,166
# And it's good enough for me #
337
00:24:20,275 --> 00:24:22,470
# Oh, that old time religion #
338
00:24:22,577 --> 00:24:25,137
# Oh, that old time religion #
339
00:24:25,247 --> 00:24:28,774
# Oh, that old time religion
It's good enough for me #
340
00:24:28,884 --> 00:24:31,011
# Oh, that old time religion #
341
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:33,246
# Oh, that old time religion #
342
00:24:33,355 --> 00:24:35,585
# Oh, that old time religion #
343
00:24:35,690 --> 00:24:38,158
# It's good enough for me ##
344
00:24:43,798 --> 00:24:47,461
I want you to know that I was never more
impressed in my life, or more flattered...
345
00:24:47,569 --> 00:24:49,662
that a young girl likeyou,
with all her interests...
346
00:24:49,771 --> 00:24:53,332
should be able to remember almost word for
word a sermon she'd heard over two years ago.
347
00:24:53,441 --> 00:24:55,739
- Oh.
- Mind you, it was your own ideas...
348
00:24:55,844 --> 00:24:58,642
that really turned the tide.
349
00:24:58,747 --> 00:25:02,979
It'd be very interesting to know
what else is in that nice mind of yours.
350
00:25:03,084 --> 00:25:05,644
That's the wonderful discovery
I've made about southern girls.
351
00:25:05,754 --> 00:25:08,917
The cake is almost finer than the frosting.
352
00:25:09,024 --> 00:25:13,654
Well, then we southern girls should be
very grateful to your fiancée.
353
00:25:13,762 --> 00:25:16,060
My fiancée? Who might she be?
354
00:25:16,164 --> 00:25:19,395
Well, there's been talk on campus that-
that she's an Atlanta girl.
355
00:25:19,501 --> 00:25:22,402
Definitely not, and I'd be very glad
if you'd correct the rumor.
356
00:25:22,504 --> 00:25:26,463
As a matter off act,
I do recall hearing it contradicted.
357
00:25:26,575 --> 00:25:29,169
Someone said you were really
engaged to a Scottish girl.
358
00:25:29,277 --> 00:25:33,976
No, that's equally untrue. Why is everybody
always tryin' to force me into matrimony?
359
00:25:34,082 --> 00:25:36,380
I'll marry when I'm good and ready.
360
00:25:36,484 --> 00:25:39,453
I'm good enough now, but I'm not ready.
361
00:25:39,554 --> 00:25:43,320
If can wait for the Lord to pick out my wife,
why can't anyone else?
362
00:25:43,425 --> 00:25:45,893
- The Lord's going to do that?
- Why, certainly.
363
00:25:47,228 --> 00:25:50,459
You mean, he'll pick you out for her too?
364
00:25:50,565 --> 00:25:54,126
Naturally. Don't you expect him
to do as much foryou?
365
00:25:54,235 --> 00:25:56,999
Oh.
366
00:25:57,105 --> 00:25:59,073
Perhaps he has already.
367
00:25:59,174 --> 00:26:03,804
- Oh.
- Well, ifhe hasn't, he will.
368
00:26:03,912 --> 00:26:06,813
# Oh, that old time religion #
369
00:26:25,367 --> 00:26:28,268
Tomorrow I'm going to call the dean
of Agnes Scott College...
370
00:26:28,370 --> 00:26:30,998
and tell her she's a woman
ofreal discernment.
371
00:26:31,106 --> 00:26:34,803
Strange I never noticed you in church before.
372
00:26:34,909 --> 00:26:38,868
- Why?
- Well, even a minister has eyes.
373
00:26:40,782 --> 00:26:45,913
I know it's awfully late,
but somehow I hate to say good night.
374
00:26:46,021 --> 00:26:49,787
Finding someone else that thinks likeyou do
always puts me in mind of two ships...
375
00:26:49,891 --> 00:26:52,189
flashing their lights in a lonely sea.
376
00:26:52,293 --> 00:26:54,261
They may be putting into different ports...
377
00:26:54,362 --> 00:26:56,830
but for a moment they knew
one another was there.
378
00:27:00,502 --> 00:27:03,960
- Would you mind ifl called you sometime?
- Oh, no.
379
00:27:04,072 --> 00:27:06,632
We could, um, have dinner and see a movie.
380
00:27:06,741 --> 00:27:11,337
Yes.
381
00:27:11,446 --> 00:27:13,573
Certainly, one... one night next week.
382
00:27:17,085 --> 00:27:19,713
I'll, um-I'll call you.
383
00:27:23,358 --> 00:27:25,986
- Good night, Catherine.
- Good night, Dr. Marshall.
384
00:27:29,064 --> 00:27:31,089
Good night, Peter.
385
00:27:33,401 --> 00:27:35,426
Good night, Peter darling.
386
00:27:41,142 --> 00:27:43,940
One long week ofstonysilence-
387
00:27:44,045 --> 00:27:46,513
Monday, Tuesday...
388
00:27:46,614 --> 00:27:48,912
Wednesday, Thursday...
389
00:27:49,017 --> 00:27:51,247
Friday, Saturday.
390
00:27:51,352 --> 00:27:54,788
The longest, unhappiest week ofmy life.
391
00:27:54,889 --> 00:27:59,689
I have come to the conclusion that I
place Dr. Marshall on too lofty a pedestal...
392
00:27:59,794 --> 00:28:03,696
and that the time has come
to make a clean, deep cut.
393
00:28:03,798 --> 00:28:08,861
A big black period marks
the end of an unhappy interlude.
394
00:28:08,970 --> 00:28:11,939
I begin tomorrow by going
to another church.
395
00:28:13,575 --> 00:28:17,511
Marriage is not a federation
of two sovereign states.
396
00:28:17,612 --> 00:28:22,845
It's a union-domestic, social,
spiritual and physical.
397
00:28:22,951 --> 00:28:28,218
I t's the fusion of two hearts,
the com i ng together of two tributaries...
398
00:28:28,323 --> 00:28:31,451
which, after being joined in marriage...
399
00:28:31,559 --> 00:28:34,153
will flow in the same channel,
in the same direction...
400
00:28:34,262 --> 00:28:39,290
carrying the same burdens
of responsibility and obligation.
401
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:45,305
Marriage is a oneness,
divine and indivisible.
402
00:28:45,406 --> 00:28:47,806
Peter went on with his sermon...
403
00:28:47,909 --> 00:28:50,036
about the holyinstitution ofmarriage...
404
00:28:50,145 --> 00:28:52,113
or in Peter's colorful phrasing...
405
00:28:52,213 --> 00:28:54,943
"the halls ofhighest human happiness."
406
00:28:55,049 --> 00:28:58,416
But all I kept hearing over and over was...
407
00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:02,581
"Marriage is a oneness,
divine and indivisible."
408
00:29:02,690 --> 00:29:04,920
Aren't you with us?
409
00:29:05,026 --> 00:29:10,589
Miss Wood. Green eyes, brown hair,
tan dress... "ridiculous little hat."
410
00:29:10,698 --> 00:29:13,667
He doesn't miss much, does he?
I'm Ruby Coleman, Dr. Marshall's secretary.
411
00:29:13,768 --> 00:29:16,532
How do you do? Ifit won't interfere
with any previous plans...
412
00:29:16,638 --> 00:29:19,402
he'd like to haveyou wait a few minutes
and driveyou back.
413
00:29:22,076 --> 00:29:24,544
That's very nice of you, Miss Wood.
He needs the fresh air.
414
00:29:24,646 --> 00:29:26,546
Oh, then he's been sick.
415
00:29:26,648 --> 00:29:29,208
Him? Ifhe felt any better,
I think he'd explode.
416
00:29:35,390 --> 00:29:38,518
He didn't bother
to explain why he hadn't called.
417
00:29:38,626 --> 00:29:41,993
He onlysaid that when he saw me in church,
it suddenly occurred to him...
418
00:29:42,096 --> 00:29:44,894
that it was a beautiful day,
and something should be done about it...
419
00:29:44,999 --> 00:29:46,899
and didn't I agree?
420
00:29:47,001 --> 00:29:49,128
So we drove out to Stone Mountain.
421
00:29:49,237 --> 00:29:52,604
The man at the curio store
where Peter bought me a souvenir...
422
00:29:52,707 --> 00:29:55,608
said that almost every Sunday
some foolhardy idiot...
423
00:29:55,710 --> 00:29:59,407
broke his leg or got stranded
climbing the mountain.
424
00:29:59,514 --> 00:30:02,142
Did that deter Peter?
425
00:30:02,250 --> 00:30:04,218
Definitely not.
426
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:08,416
While he climbed down from the mountain...
427
00:30:08,523 --> 00:30:10,991
I rehearsed a dozen
charming little speeches...
428
00:30:11,092 --> 00:30:14,550
that would bring us back to where
we left off after the youth rally.
429
00:30:14,662 --> 00:30:19,429
But whenever I began one, he would warn me
with what I suppose was Scottish thrift...
430
00:30:19,534 --> 00:30:21,832
that my ice cream was melting.
431
00:30:25,874 --> 00:30:28,672
Peter took me to dinner
at his favorite restaurant.
432
00:30:28,776 --> 00:30:31,404
I saw the romantic glow ofcandlelight...
433
00:30:31,512 --> 00:30:33,639
and I thought, "At last."
434
00:30:33,748 --> 00:30:36,216
- Good eveni ng, Dr. Marshal I.
- Good evening.
435
00:30:36,317 --> 00:30:38,285
Thank you.
436
00:30:39,954 --> 00:30:41,922
Thanks.
437
00:30:43,424 --> 00:30:45,392
Have you got a match, Henry?
438
00:30:45,493 --> 00:30:48,223
The food here's the best in Atlanta,
but there's only one drawback.
439
00:30:48,329 --> 00:30:51,787
The gloom's so dense, your fork gets lost
between your plate and your mouth.
440
00:30:54,502 --> 00:30:58,598
Nor can you enjoy looking at a pretty girl,
if she happens to be sitting oppositeyou.
441
00:31:08,416 --> 00:31:11,852
I was wondering what you thought
about my sermon this morning.
442
00:31:11,953 --> 00:31:16,185
It's very important to me that I should know
howyou feel, so please be perfectly frank.
443
00:31:17,625 --> 00:31:20,093
"Marriage is the fusion of two hearts...
444
00:31:20,194 --> 00:31:22,492
"the coming together of two tributaries...
445
00:31:22,597 --> 00:31:24,758
"which, after being joined
together in marriage...
446
00:31:24,866 --> 00:31:26,834
"will flow in the same direction...
447
00:31:26,935 --> 00:31:30,496
"carrying the same burdens
of responsibility and obligation.
448
00:31:32,573 --> 00:31:35,701
Marriage is a oneness,
divine and indivisible."
449
00:31:35,810 --> 00:31:39,246
- Then you did like it.
- Oh, Peter.
450
00:31:39,347 --> 00:31:41,247
Well, that settles it then.
451
00:31:41,349 --> 00:31:43,442
It'll be my talk before
the young people's groups...
452
00:31:43,551 --> 00:31:46,179
in Baltimore, Philadelphia, Washington.
453
00:31:46,287 --> 00:31:48,278
- What did you say?
- Oh, didn't I tell you?
454
00:31:48,389 --> 00:31:50,619
I'm leaving tomorrow
on a two-week speaking tour...
455
00:31:50,725 --> 00:31:53,193
but I'll call you the minute I get back.
456
00:31:53,294 --> 00:31:55,762
When you get back, I won't be here.
457
00:31:55,863 --> 00:31:58,093
Why not?
458
00:31:58,199 --> 00:32:00,997
It'll be all over. I'll be graduated.
459
00:32:01,102 --> 00:32:04,833
Oh, how could I have forgotten that?
And you'll be leaving Atlanta?
460
00:32:04,939 --> 00:32:08,306
To spend the summer
with my parents in West Virginia.
461
00:32:08,409 --> 00:32:11,105
In the fall, I begin teaching.
462
00:32:11,212 --> 00:32:13,908
Well, I'm sure you'll be a fine teacher.
463
00:32:14,015 --> 00:32:18,475
As I've told you more than once,
you've-you've got a very nice mind.
464
00:32:18,586 --> 00:32:22,044
And know that I'll bewishing you
all good luck and happiness.
465
00:32:22,156 --> 00:32:24,181
Thank you.
466
00:32:24,292 --> 00:32:27,420
And I wish you happiness too-
all the happiness in theworld.
467
00:32:32,767 --> 00:32:35,736
What's the matter, child?
468
00:32:35,837 --> 00:32:38,829
What's that man do to you?
469
00:32:38,940 --> 00:32:40,908
I's glad I's a Baptist!
470
00:32:41,009 --> 00:32:43,307
I's glad I ain't young!
471
00:32:43,411 --> 00:32:46,312
Glad I just got a seat in the bleachers.
472
00:33:05,233 --> 00:33:08,464
- You lost your hearing oryour mind?
- Oh, Emma, go away.
473
00:33:08,569 --> 00:33:11,538
And let that man come charging up here
like a roaring lion?
474
00:33:11,639 --> 00:33:14,369
"That man"? What man?
475
00:33:14,475 --> 00:33:18,036
Stop asking foolish questions
and do something radical to that face.
476
00:33:18,146 --> 00:33:20,273
Oh, Emma. Oh!
477
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:28,814
You'd better go easy with that, honey.
I got a notion that-
478
00:33:28,923 --> 00:33:30,914
What am I saying?
479
00:33:40,802 --> 00:33:42,770
Oh, I'm a stupid, glaikit lump.
480
00:33:42,870 --> 00:33:45,168
I didn't realize what a shock this must be.
481
00:33:45,273 --> 00:33:48,401
But God just spun me around
like a top and said...
482
00:33:48,509 --> 00:33:52,411
"Peter, you idiot, don't you see
this is my grandest plan foryou?"
483
00:33:57,785 --> 00:34:01,152
Glory, hallelujah!
484
00:34:02,723 --> 00:34:04,953
What's the matter, darling?
485
00:34:05,059 --> 00:34:08,187
Oh, Peter, I'm frightened.
486
00:34:08,296 --> 00:34:11,424
Are you sure this is God's will
and not just Catherine Wood's?
487
00:34:11,532 --> 00:34:15,491
- I don't know what you mean.
- Of courseyou don't.
488
00:34:15,603 --> 00:34:17,901
How could you know
that for two years, from the-
489
00:34:18,005 --> 00:34:20,132
from the very first moment I saw you...
490
00:34:20,241 --> 00:34:23,642
I- I've schemed and-and plotted...
491
00:34:23,744 --> 00:34:25,974
and dreamed that somehow this would happen-
492
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:28,412
that, impossible as it seemed...
493
00:34:28,516 --> 00:34:30,416
you'd love me too.
494
00:34:30,518 --> 00:34:33,646
Oh, Catherine, this gets
more and more wonderful.
495
00:34:33,754 --> 00:34:35,722
I'm not sure that it is.
496
00:34:36,824 --> 00:34:39,292
Maybe you never had a chance.
497
00:34:39,393 --> 00:34:43,295
You hear about the power of thought,
about-about willing things to happen...
498
00:34:43,397 --> 00:34:47,424
- that-that the mind is like a magnet and-
- Oh, rubbish!
499
00:34:47,535 --> 00:34:53,132
Don't you know that God plants
his own lovely dream in the human heart...
500
00:34:53,241 --> 00:34:55,471
and that when the dream is mature...
501
00:34:55,576 --> 00:34:59,376
and the time for it
is ripe for its fulfillment...
502
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:01,846
well, to our astonishment and delight...
503
00:35:01,949 --> 00:35:05,646
his will becomes ours, and ours his?
504
00:35:05,753 --> 00:35:09,052
Now, who but God could've thought
of anything as perfect as this?
505
00:35:16,164 --> 00:35:20,464
Well, I-I'll have to consult my calendar...
506
00:35:20,568 --> 00:35:23,469
and, uh- and, uh, rearrange my plans.
507
00:35:23,571 --> 00:35:27,974
But with christenings and weddings and
speaking dates I'm already committed to...
508
00:35:28,075 --> 00:35:32,171
I don't see how we can get married
till practically the end of the summer.
509
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:36,216
Does that disturbyou, Catherine?
510
00:35:36,317 --> 00:35:38,444
Oh.
511
00:35:38,553 --> 00:35:41,351
What could ever disturb me again?
512
00:35:51,265 --> 00:35:53,358
It was well into fall...
513
00:35:53,467 --> 00:35:55,435
before Peter caught up
with his busyschedule.
514
00:35:55,536 --> 00:35:58,505
We were married in the old family church
in West Virginia...
515
00:35:58,606 --> 00:36:01,973
and blissfully set sail
for a Cape Cod honeymoon.
516
00:36:02,076 --> 00:36:04,510
Oh, Catheri ne, could anythi ng be fi ner?
517
00:36:04,612 --> 00:36:07,410
She's a snug little ship.
518
00:36:07,515 --> 00:36:10,075
How long is it going to take us
to get to Cape Cod?
519
00:36:10,184 --> 00:36:13,017
We'll be there in the morning.
520
00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:15,213
I got a whiff from the galley.
I think it's-
521
00:36:15,323 --> 00:36:17,587
Aye, it's roast turkey.
522
00:36:24,799 --> 00:36:29,031
- Honey, what's the matter?
- I don't know, but I think I'm seasick.
523
00:36:29,136 --> 00:36:31,104
Seasick? You're not. You couldn't be.
524
00:36:31,205 --> 00:36:34,766
- I always get seasick.
- But there's no such malady. It's all in your mind.
525
00:36:34,875 --> 00:36:36,968
I couldn't have married
a girl who'd get seasick.
526
00:36:37,078 --> 00:36:40,377
But you did. And what are you going
to do about it?
527
00:36:43,417 --> 00:36:47,376
Oh, the poor girl. She really believes it.
528
00:36:47,488 --> 00:36:50,582
It was the most beautiful ofhoneymoons.
529
00:36:50,691 --> 00:36:53,592
Peterfell more than ever
in love with the sea...
530
00:36:53,694 --> 00:36:55,787
and I fell in love with it too-
531
00:36:55,896 --> 00:36:58,694
from the proper distance, ofcourse.
532
00:36:58,799 --> 00:37:02,496
Catheri ne, look! Another one!
533
00:37:04,639 --> 00:37:07,802
- Now will you come out?
- No!
534
00:37:07,908 --> 00:37:10,877
But it's as smooth as glass!
535
00:37:13,514 --> 00:37:18,577
All right then, be stubborn. But no
self-respecting fish will come near you.
536
00:37:20,154 --> 00:37:22,782
- Catherine, your line!
- Ooh!
537
00:37:33,267 --> 00:37:36,703
Now why don't you say something?
538
00:37:36,804 --> 00:37:38,704
Well done, Catherine!
539
00:37:38,806 --> 00:37:41,366
I must've scared it your way.
540
00:37:48,516 --> 00:37:52,475
Oh, good morning, Mr. Briscoe.
Lookwhat I caught.
541
00:37:52,586 --> 00:37:56,283
- Yeah. This came for Dr. Marshall.
- Oh.
542
00:37:56,390 --> 00:38:00,326
They thought at the inn
it might be somethin'.
543
00:38:00,428 --> 00:38:02,521
- Thank you.
- Oh, that's all right.
544
00:38:02,630 --> 00:38:06,464
Peter! Telegram!
545
00:38:06,567 --> 00:38:08,933
Open it!
546
00:38:16,911 --> 00:38:21,541
- It doesn't make any sense. I can't understand it.
- Whynot?
547
00:38:21,649 --> 00:38:25,415
Well, it's-it's from Washington-
Washington, D.C.
548
00:38:30,157 --> 00:38:32,990
It says, "Manse redecorated...
549
00:38:33,094 --> 00:38:35,062
"and awaiting you and Mrs. Marshall.
550
00:38:35,162 --> 00:38:37,130
"Moving van arriving tomorrow.
551
00:38:37,231 --> 00:38:40,428
Kindest regards, Evanston Whiting."
552
00:38:40,534 --> 00:38:43,503
Do you know an Evanston Whiting?
553
00:38:43,604 --> 00:38:45,572
That's Colonel Whiting...
554
00:38:46,741 --> 00:38:48,709
president of the board of trustees...
555
00:38:48,809 --> 00:38:52,108
of the New YorkAvenue Church,
Washington, D.C.
556
00:38:52,213 --> 00:38:54,374
- But what does it mean?
- Now, don't get excited.
557
00:38:54,482 --> 00:38:57,178
I wanted nothing to disturb our honeymoon,
so I didn't tell you.
558
00:38:57,284 --> 00:38:59,184
Tell me what, Peter?
559
00:38:59,286 --> 00:39:02,585
That we're not going back to Atlanta.
We're going to Washington.
560
00:39:02,690 --> 00:39:06,387
All summer long, I've been pondering a call
to the old New YorkAvenue Church-
561
00:39:06,494 --> 00:39:09,952
the church of the presidents-
Abraham Lincoln worshipped there.
562
00:39:10,064 --> 00:39:12,532
- Aren't you pleased?
- Oh, well, who wouldn't be?
563
00:39:12,633 --> 00:39:14,601
Let's go.
564
00:39:43,297 --> 00:39:46,994
Oh, wonderful. Here-Put it-
Put it right there. That's fine.
565
00:39:48,302 --> 00:39:50,270
Thank you.
566
00:39:52,773 --> 00:39:55,003
You see, Catherine?
567
00:39:55,109 --> 00:39:57,737
That'll giveyou an idea
ofhow cozy it will be.
568
00:39:57,845 --> 00:40:00,541
That's our first call.
569
00:40:05,286 --> 00:40:08,187
- Why don't you answer it?
- Well, I can't find the blasted thing.
570
00:40:08,289 --> 00:40:11,588
Catherine, do something!
571
00:40:12,626 --> 00:40:16,221
Well-Oh, here.
572
00:40:16,330 --> 00:40:18,298
Follow this cord.
573
00:40:25,306 --> 00:40:27,399
Hello?
574
00:40:27,508 --> 00:40:29,533
Oh, hello, Colonel Whiting.
575
00:40:30,978 --> 00:40:33,344
Yes, we're getting along
beautifully. Thank you.
576
00:40:35,049 --> 00:40:37,813
Yes. Yes, I've got it.
577
00:40:40,187 --> 00:40:42,985
All right then.
We'll see you at 8:00 this evening.
578
00:40:43,090 --> 00:40:45,888
Fine. Good-bye.
579
00:40:45,993 --> 00:40:48,120
Peter, you're not letting anyone
come to this house?
580
00:40:48,229 --> 00:40:50,390
Of course not. We're going
to their home for dinner.
581
00:40:50,498 --> 00:40:53,956
Peter, we can't! My hair-It's a mess,
and nothing's unpacked.
582
00:40:54,068 --> 00:40:56,662
There's nothing to worry about.
It's just a friendly evening...
583
00:40:56,770 --> 00:40:59,671
- at Colonel Whiting's little farm in the country.
- Oh.
584
00:41:02,510 --> 00:41:04,478
- Good evening.
- Good evening.
585
00:41:06,981 --> 00:41:08,949
May I?
586
00:41:11,452 --> 00:41:14,353
- Who may I announce, please?
- Uh, Dr. and Mrs. Marshall.
587
00:41:14,455 --> 00:41:16,423
Oh. This way, please.
588
00:41:23,063 --> 00:41:25,190
Quaint little farmhouse.
589
00:41:29,036 --> 00:41:31,800
Dr. and Mrs. Marshall.
590
00:41:31,906 --> 00:41:34,136
Dr. and Mrs. Marshall...
591
00:41:34,241 --> 00:41:36,607
welcome to Washington.
592
00:41:36,710 --> 00:41:40,441
This is all my fault. I told Mrs.
Marshall a small, informal dinner.
593
00:41:40,548 --> 00:41:42,516
That's exactly what it is, my dear-
594
00:41:42,616 --> 00:41:44,516
just our own special little group.
595
00:41:44,618 --> 00:41:48,110
- Please come in. Come in.
- This is our granddaughter Barbara.
596
00:41:48,222 --> 00:41:50,190
- How do you do?
- How do you do, Barbara?
597
00:41:50,291 --> 00:41:54,660
Our new pastor and the lady of the manse.
598
00:41:54,762 --> 00:41:56,730
Uh, an interesting coincidence.
599
00:41:56,830 --> 00:41:59,799
Our first pastor back in those days
was also a Scotsman.
600
00:41:59,900 --> 00:42:02,869
He was only 22 when he came to America
and took over the pulpit.
601
00:42:02,970 --> 00:42:05,200
That makes me feel much less a stranger.
602
00:42:05,306 --> 00:42:07,331
The church had not yet been built.
603
00:42:07,441 --> 00:42:10,342
Services were being held
in the old treasury building...
604
00:42:10,444 --> 00:42:13,072
burned by the British in 1812.
605
00:42:13,180 --> 00:42:15,512
Pennsylvania Avenue was a cow path...
606
00:42:15,616 --> 00:42:18,847
along which Thomas Jefferson
had planted some poplar trees.
607
00:42:18,953 --> 00:42:21,649
Why, nobody knows.
608
00:42:21,755 --> 00:42:25,987
Coal had just come into use,
but it was too expensive for us...
609
00:42:26,093 --> 00:42:29,654
so Dr. Laurie would come early
every Sabbath morning...
610
00:42:29,763 --> 00:42:32,630
and start a roaring fire
in the old woodstove.
611
00:42:32,733 --> 00:42:34,667
A real, true Scotsman!
612
00:42:34,768 --> 00:42:38,568
And my great-grandfather supplied the wood.
613
00:42:38,672 --> 00:42:42,335
Also boarded Dr. Laurie without charge.
614
00:42:42,443 --> 00:42:44,411
What a perfectly beautiful heritage.
615
00:42:44,511 --> 00:42:47,969
You know, Dr. Marshall,
you don't look like a minister.
616
00:42:48,082 --> 00:42:51,449
- Barbara, really!
- Well, Gran, he doesn't.
617
00:42:51,552 --> 00:42:55,420
Well, that's probably because Dr. Marshall
isn't wearing his clerical collar.
618
00:42:55,556 --> 00:42:58,423
Look, I'm afraid my obvious deficiencies
can't be corrected that easily.
619
00:42:58,525 --> 00:43:00,425
I don't own a clerical collar.
620
00:43:00,527 --> 00:43:04,520
But for the pulpit of the New YorkAvenue
Church, you're surely going to acquire one.
621
00:43:04,632 --> 00:43:08,796
Positively not, Miss Fowler. I couldn't breathe,
let alone preach, in one of those things.
622
00:43:08,902 --> 00:43:11,302
Oh, Laura, wait till you hear
Dr. Marshall preach.
623
00:43:11,405 --> 00:43:14,932
You won't care
ifhe doesn't wear any... collar.
624
00:43:17,311 --> 00:43:20,280
Would anyone like more coffee?
625
00:43:20,381 --> 00:43:23,509
You did beautifully tonight.
I was very proud of you.
626
00:43:42,002 --> 00:43:44,095
Now, let's drive by the church.
627
00:43:44,204 --> 00:43:46,672
- At this hour?
- Mm-hmm. It's on our way.
628
00:44:01,388 --> 00:44:04,755
Ah, there it is-
the church of the presidents.
629
00:44:04,858 --> 00:44:06,917
Abraham Lincoln's church.
630
00:44:08,395 --> 00:44:11,091
- We're going in, darling.
- But, Peter, it's past midnight.
631
00:44:11,198 --> 00:44:13,632
There's something I have to see.
I can't wait.
632
00:45:06,620 --> 00:45:10,579
I know a southern girl
shouldn't be impressed, but-
633
00:45:10,691 --> 00:45:13,159
Well, what do you think I feel?
634
00:45:13,260 --> 00:45:16,889
From the Coatbridge tube works to
Ellis Island to here in only 10 years.
635
00:45:22,903 --> 00:45:25,804
Now, will you please takeyour place
in the pastor's pew?
636
00:45:33,847 --> 00:45:37,647
That's what I had to see-
howyou lookwhile I'm preaching.
637
00:45:37,751 --> 00:45:40,219
Always be there, darling.
638
00:45:43,857 --> 00:45:47,486
God had some wonderful plan
when he sent us here.
639
00:45:47,594 --> 00:45:49,721
Don't you feel it, Catherine?
640
00:45:51,665 --> 00:45:54,691
Let's pray that we never let him down...
641
00:45:54,802 --> 00:45:57,737
that we serve him
in this beloved old church...
642
00:45:57,838 --> 00:45:59,806
in this great city of Washington...
643
00:45:59,907 --> 00:46:01,875
according to his will.
644
00:46:05,379 --> 00:46:09,145
# A mighty fortress #
645
00:46:09,249 --> 00:46:12,616
# Is our God #
646
00:46:12,719 --> 00:46:15,415
# A bulwark #
647
00:46:15,522 --> 00:46:20,550
# Neverfailing #

# Prevailing #

# Foe #
654
00:46:44,785 --> 00:46:47,913
# Doth seek to work #

# His craft and power #
657
00:46:54,828 --> 00:46:57,956
# Are great #
658
00:46:58,065 --> 00:47:00,033
# And armed #
659
00:47:00,133 --> 00:47:05,230
# With cruel hate #
660
00:47:05,339 --> 00:47:08,797
# On Earth is not #

# H is equal #
662
00:47:14,348 --> 00:47:20,287
# Amen ##
663
00:47:32,733 --> 00:47:34,701
I t has been said...
664
00:47:34,801 --> 00:47:37,929
that a new minister's first sermon...
665
00:47:38,038 --> 00:47:40,506
while he is still strange
to his congregation...
666
00:47:40,607 --> 00:47:43,576
and his congregation strange to him...
667
00:47:43,677 --> 00:47:48,239
frequently has far-reaching repercussions.
668
00:47:48,348 --> 00:47:51,977
You haveyour ideas
of what your pastor should be...
669
00:47:52,085 --> 00:47:55,145
and your pastor has his ideas
of what your church should be.
670
00:47:57,457 --> 00:48:01,325
I have come, practicallyas a stranger...
671
00:48:01,428 --> 00:48:03,453
to this imposing old church...
672
00:48:03,563 --> 00:48:06,532
a church whose history is almost
as old as this country...
673
00:48:06,633 --> 00:48:12,503
a church whose traditions and legends
I respect and find thrilling and exciting.
674
00:48:12,606 --> 00:48:18,272
Now, historyand tradition
and legends are fine.
675
00:48:18,378 --> 00:48:20,346
We couldn't live without the past...
676
00:48:20,447 --> 00:48:23,473
but past glory has never
been enough for a nation...
677
00:48:23,583 --> 00:48:25,608
or a church or even an individual.
678
00:48:25,719 --> 00:48:29,883
There's always the all-important now
and the more important future.
679
00:48:31,124 --> 00:48:33,092
I look out this morning...
680
00:48:33,193 --> 00:48:36,424
on a church not even half-filled.
681
00:48:36,530 --> 00:48:40,261
Now, this in no way injures
my personal pride, myvanity.
682
00:48:40,367 --> 00:48:44,463
I'm not here to recruit fans for a fellow
named Peter Marshall.
683
00:48:44,571 --> 00:48:46,869
Nor am I here to sell anything.
684
00:48:46,974 --> 00:48:49,670
That which we callsalvation-
685
00:48:49,776 --> 00:48:53,041
anda most comprehensive term
it is-is a free gift.
686
00:48:53,146 --> 00:48:55,774
You can't buyit. Neither can you earn it.
687
00:48:55,882 --> 00:48:59,682
It's not a reward dangling before the
Christian like a carrot before a mule.
688
00:48:59,786 --> 00:49:02,812
I t's not somethi ng
that the church has to peddle.
689
00:49:02,923 --> 00:49:05,221
And probably no idea hurts me more...
690
00:49:05,325 --> 00:49:07,350
than suggesting that I am a salesman...
691
00:49:07,461 --> 00:49:10,294
endeavoring to sell people
on the idea of religion.
692
00:49:10,397 --> 00:49:12,365
I resent it bitterly.
693
00:49:12,466 --> 00:49:15,458
Religion is not forsale. It's given away.
694
00:49:15,569 --> 00:49:17,469
So today...
695
00:49:17,571 --> 00:49:20,506
as I start my ministry
in this hallowed old church...
696
00:49:20,607 --> 00:49:22,575
I think it only fair to explain...
697
00:49:22,676 --> 00:49:25,042
that it isn't the church or religion...
698
00:49:25,145 --> 00:49:27,705
that I'm trying to present, but Christ.
699
00:49:27,814 --> 00:49:31,045
Not the pale, anemic, namby-pamby Jesus-
700
00:49:31,151 --> 00:49:33,119
the gentle Jesus, meek and mild-
701
00:49:33,220 --> 00:49:35,188
but the Christ of the Gospels...
702
00:49:35,288 --> 00:49:38,621
striding up and down
the dusty miles of Palestine...
703
00:49:38,725 --> 00:49:41,387
suntanned, bronzed, fearless...
704
00:49:41,495 --> 00:49:43,963
the knuckles big in his carpenter's hands-
705
00:49:44,064 --> 00:49:46,191
the Christ who upset the moneylenders-
706
00:49:46,299 --> 00:49:48,460
the Christ who had
a good time at weddings...
707
00:49:48,568 --> 00:49:52,197
and who would not allow his host
to be embarrassed by running short of wine-
708
00:49:52,305 --> 00:49:54,865
the Christ who loved people-
all kinds of people...
709
00:49:54,975 --> 00:49:57,341
but particularly red-blooded folk...
710
00:49:57,444 --> 00:49:59,912
for he himselfwas red-blooded-
711
00:50:00,013 --> 00:50:02,413
the Christ who calleda spade a spade...
712
00:50:02,516 --> 00:50:04,484
and who let the chips fall where theymight.
713
00:50:04,584 --> 00:50:08,486
Not the Jesus of the perfumed cloisters
ofpious sentiment...
714
00:50:08,588 --> 00:50:12,649
but the man who walked the streets
of the city, stopping here and there...
715
00:50:12,759 --> 00:50:16,160
to pass the time ofday in places where
you and I could not afford to be seen...
716
00:50:16,263 --> 00:50:18,493
and getti ng a huge kick out of it!
717
00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:22,127
Let us be honest.
718
00:50:22,235 --> 00:50:26,535
Let us recognize that the kind of people
that Christ liked best...
719
00:50:26,640 --> 00:50:29,438
were not the kind that the average church
appeals to at all.
720
00:50:29,543 --> 00:50:33,775
Think of the people whom he personally
invited to be his friends.
721
00:50:33,880 --> 00:50:37,646
Peter and Andrew, James and John-
fish merchants!
722
00:50:37,751 --> 00:50:41,209
Zacchaeus and Matthew-
unpopular tax collectors.
723
00:50:41,321 --> 00:50:46,122
Saul of Tarsus-an aristocrat,
a persecutor of the church.
724
00:50:46,226 --> 00:50:49,354
Mary Magdalena... once a prostitute.
725
00:50:49,463 --> 00:50:52,864
Joanna, wife of Herod's chancellor-
726
00:50:52,966 --> 00:50:55,935
a so-called society woman.
727
00:50:56,036 --> 00:50:58,334
There are, I'm sure, in Washington...
728
00:50:58,438 --> 00:51:00,906
countless people who fall
intojust this category.
729
00:51:01,007 --> 00:51:03,237
We cannot afford to be indifferent to them.
730
00:51:03,343 --> 00:51:06,676
We must invite the sophisticates,
the irreligious...
731
00:51:06,780 --> 00:51:08,907
the lost and the lonely.
732
00:51:09,015 --> 00:51:12,348
We must extend to them our fellowship
and introduce them to Christ.
733
00:51:12,452 --> 00:51:14,420
That is our busi ness, nothi ng else.
734
00:51:14,521 --> 00:51:17,820
For Christ likes people,
all kinds of strange people...
735
00:51:17,924 --> 00:51:20,620
people whom we might have
to think twice about before cultivating.
736
00:51:20,727 --> 00:51:24,356
He wants them.
He enjoys their life and vigor.
737
00:51:24,464 --> 00:51:26,762
He wants to hear laughter, a joke...
738
00:51:26,867 --> 00:51:29,995
ifit's a good one.
739
00:51:30,103 --> 00:51:33,869
A man ofsorrows and acquainted
with grief, that he was.
740
00:51:33,974 --> 00:51:36,841
But it was in order
that our joy might be full.
741
00:51:36,943 --> 00:51:38,843
That is the Christ that I know.
742
00:51:38,945 --> 00:51:42,574
That is the Christ that I would have dwell
in this historic old church...
743
00:51:42,682 --> 00:51:46,709
his big carpenter's hands
stretched out in welcome.
744
00:51:52,359 --> 00:51:54,327
Let us pray.
745
00:51:57,664 --> 00:52:01,464
- A most auspicious beginning, Dr. Marshall. Most auspicious.
- Thank you very much.
746
00:52:06,640 --> 00:52:09,666
- You surely gave us something to think about.
- Thank you very much.
747
00:52:09,776 --> 00:52:13,143
- How are you, Barbara?
- Back in the fold. You just brought in your first sheep.
748
00:52:13,246 --> 00:52:15,305
Barbara, whatever in the world
do you mean by that?
749
00:52:15,415 --> 00:52:17,383
This child's gone to church all her life.
750
00:52:17,484 --> 00:52:20,112
Just like I go to the dentist-
every six months.
751
00:52:20,220 --> 00:52:23,053
You know, the other night,
I knewyou were different.
752
00:52:23,156 --> 00:52:25,920
Now I knowyou're just the greatest,
and I'm spreading the word.
753
00:52:26,026 --> 00:52:28,051
Thank you, Barbara.
754
00:52:28,161 --> 00:52:30,391
Good morning, Miss Fowler.
755
00:52:30,497 --> 00:52:33,762
- How are you, Mrs. Peyton?
- Dr. Marshall, you've simply got to do something.
756
00:52:33,867 --> 00:52:35,835
Laura-Miss Fowler's frightfully upset.
757
00:52:35,936 --> 00:52:37,904
Aye. So I gathered. Could you tell me why?
758
00:52:38,004 --> 00:52:40,905
It all started the other night really-
you know, about the collar?
759
00:52:41,007 --> 00:52:43,305
And then this morning
just added fuel to the flames.
760
00:52:43,410 --> 00:52:45,592
- How do you mean?
- Well, it was mostly little things...
761
00:52:45,612 --> 00:52:47,580
like making the Lord seem almost common...
762
00:52:47,681 --> 00:52:51,208
and calling a spade a spade
and letting the chips fall.
763
00:52:51,318 --> 00:52:54,048
- Is that all?
- Oh, dear. Maybe I shouldn't have spoken to you.
764
00:52:54,154 --> 00:52:58,454
Please don't be upset or hurt,
but she thinks that you, an immigrant...
765
00:52:58,558 --> 00:53:01,493
have no right to invite just anybody
into New YorkAvenue.
766
00:53:01,595 --> 00:53:04,894
I can't stay. She might imagine that
you and I have been talking about her.
767
00:53:07,567 --> 00:53:11,128
I'm one who came uninvited, Dr. Marshall,
and I liked your sermon...
768
00:53:11,238 --> 00:53:13,763
particularlytheway
the chips fell where they might.
769
00:53:13,873 --> 00:53:15,773
That's very kind of you, sir.
770
00:53:15,875 --> 00:53:17,775
To a stranger from the Middle West...
771
00:53:17,877 --> 00:53:20,812
this old church and all that goes with it
is very exciting.
772
00:53:20,914 --> 00:53:23,280
- Are you a visitor in Washington?
- More or less.
773
00:53:23,383 --> 00:53:25,283
Just make your self at home.
Go downstairs...
774
00:53:25,385 --> 00:53:27,853
and see the Lincoln Parlor
and all the old documents.
775
00:53:27,954 --> 00:53:29,854
Thank you.
776
00:53:29,956 --> 00:53:33,790
I'll admit you shook us up a bit,
but we've decided we can stand it.
777
00:53:33,893 --> 00:53:36,191
As you your self foresaw,
there'll be repercussions.
778
00:53:36,296 --> 00:53:39,663
But as a businessman, I know that when
you hire new blood, you get new ideas.
779
00:53:39,766 --> 00:53:42,949
- Sometimes they're good.
- Well, gentlemen, I must admit I'm very much relieved.
780
00:53:42,969 --> 00:53:45,870
- Did you knowyou drew a United States senator?
- I did?
781
00:53:45,972 --> 00:53:48,202
I've never even seen
a United States senator.
782
00:53:48,308 --> 00:53:50,776
Senator Willis K. Harvey. Odd chap.
783
00:53:50,877 --> 00:53:53,004
Met him at a luncheon the other day.
784
00:53:54,347 --> 00:53:57,111
Well, I hope he comes back again.
785
00:53:57,217 --> 00:53:59,344
The Lord could do with a few senators-
786
00:53:59,452 --> 00:54:01,920
and vice versa.
787
00:54:40,794 --> 00:54:42,694
But, boy, it's simply incredible.
788
00:54:42,796 --> 00:54:45,094
Weather like this,
and every inch of the church packed-
789
00:54:45,198 --> 00:54:48,565
the lecture rooms, the chapel-
and still those hundreds standing outside.
790
00:54:48,668 --> 00:54:50,966
How do you feel when you see
something like this?
791
00:54:51,071 --> 00:54:53,505
Scared, sir.
792
00:54:53,606 --> 00:54:55,699
Scared to death.
793
00:54:57,610 --> 00:55:00,044
It's when I do my hardest praying.
794
00:55:20,567 --> 00:55:23,195
Haven't these people
any churches of their own?
795
00:55:23,303 --> 00:55:26,795
So much influenza going around too. Oh, my!
796
00:55:26,906 --> 00:55:30,034
# A mighty fortress #
797
00:55:30,143 --> 00:55:33,237
# Is our God #
798
00:55:33,346 --> 00:55:35,473
# A bulwark #
799
00:55:35,582 --> 00:55:39,951
# Neverfailing #
800
00:55:40,053 --> 00:55:43,216
# On Earth is not #
801
00:55:43,323 --> 00:55:48,761
# His equal #
802
00:55:48,862 --> 00:55:54,801
# Amen##
803
00:56:04,277 --> 00:56:06,177
Sure is a stormy one.
804
00:56:06,279 --> 00:56:10,443
Well, after four stormyyears at New
York Avenue, I'd say it's very appropriate.
805
00:56:10,550 --> 00:56:15,214
Maybe that's why Mrs. Marshall
selected it as an anniversary present.
806
00:56:15,321 --> 00:56:17,551
Of course, to tell you the truth,
I gently guided her...
807
00:56:17,657 --> 00:56:19,557
towards the gallery
where it was to be found.
808
00:56:19,659 --> 00:56:23,060
She gave it to me with the stipulation
that she didn't have to look at it.
809
00:56:23,163 --> 00:56:25,063
Well, that's our gain.
810
00:56:25,165 --> 00:56:28,362
- How is Mrs. Marshall?
- At 9:00 this morning she was feeling fine.
811
00:56:28,468 --> 00:56:31,494
At 6:00 this evening
she was feeling even finer.
812
00:56:31,604 --> 00:56:33,504
I'd better get the latest bulletin.
813
00:56:48,888 --> 00:56:51,049
How are you feeling, darling?
814
00:56:51,157 --> 00:56:53,057
Oh, that's fine.
815
00:56:53,159 --> 00:56:55,059
Nice considerate son you're having.
816
00:56:56,629 --> 00:56:59,393
Well, of course, it's going to be a boy.
817
00:56:59,499 --> 00:57:01,399
Yes, sir.
818
00:57:12,745 --> 00:57:14,975
- Hey, Senator Harvey.
- Good evening.
819
00:57:15,081 --> 00:57:18,573
- I thought it was you. We haven't seen you for a long time.
- I've been around.
820
00:57:18,685 --> 00:57:20,585
Watch it.
821
00:57:22,822 --> 00:57:24,915
Um, can I give you a lift any where?
822
00:57:25,024 --> 00:57:27,652
No. That is, nowhere in particular.
823
00:57:27,760 --> 00:57:29,887
What do you mean by that,
"nowhere in particular"?
824
00:57:29,996 --> 00:57:33,659
I was wondering if you'd like
to go someplace and have a sandwich.
825
00:57:35,268 --> 00:57:37,168
Why, I'd love to.
826
00:57:48,147 --> 00:57:50,047
What's wrong, Senator?
827
00:57:51,417 --> 00:57:53,317
I'm not a senator, Peter.
828
00:57:53,419 --> 00:57:56,217
You mean, all this time
you've been an impostor?
829
00:57:56,322 --> 00:58:00,588
No. I've been just what
I was sent here to be...
830
00:58:00,693 --> 00:58:02,593
a name on the Senate roster.
831
00:58:04,430 --> 00:58:07,763
Didn't you know that I was only serving out
the term of the late Senator Pine?
832
00:58:07,867 --> 00:58:11,268
Oh, I probably did,
but I never thought much about it.
833
00:58:11,371 --> 00:58:14,636
He was killed in an accident
his first year in Washington.
834
00:58:14,741 --> 00:58:17,869
The big boys back home were caught short.
835
00:58:17,977 --> 00:58:20,377
They wanted another Joe Pine.
836
00:58:20,480 --> 00:58:22,448
So, they played it safe.
837
00:58:22,549 --> 00:58:24,540
They looked around for someone with...
838
00:58:24,651 --> 00:58:28,712
n- not so much a clean slate
as a-a blank one.
839
00:58:28,821 --> 00:58:31,881
I was appointed.
840
00:58:31,991 --> 00:58:35,859
Nothing was expected of me
but to hold down a seat...
841
00:58:35,962 --> 00:58:38,260
vote the way they wanted me to.
842
00:58:40,600 --> 00:58:43,125
Like "yes" on
the Cheavers' Land Bill tomorrow.
843
00:58:44,671 --> 00:58:46,571
Do you like that bill?
844
00:58:46,673 --> 00:58:48,698
The boys back home do.
845
00:58:48,808 --> 00:58:51,140
Several million acres
of timber will be cut.
846
00:58:51,244 --> 00:58:54,213
The state will have
a fresh crop of millionaires.
847
00:58:57,183 --> 00:58:59,083
And then next spring...
848
00:59:00,553 --> 00:59:05,149
thousands ofsmall farms
will be flooded and washed out.
849
00:59:05,258 --> 00:59:07,886
I see.
850
00:59:07,994 --> 00:59:11,054
You know, you-you have a strange...
851
00:59:11,164 --> 00:59:14,622
maybe even dangerous effect
on a stodgy little guy like me.
852
00:59:14,734 --> 00:59:17,430
- Dangerous?
- Yeah.
853
00:59:17,537 --> 00:59:20,506
You make me think I'd like, just once...
854
00:59:20,607 --> 00:59:25,635
to stand on a hill
and-and feel the wind in my face.
855
00:59:25,745 --> 00:59:30,444
You know, you don't have to look far
to find your hill.
856
00:59:30,550 --> 00:59:33,747
I might also find
that there was no demand...
857
00:59:33,853 --> 00:59:35,753
back at our state university...
858
00:59:35,855 --> 00:59:39,484
for the services of a reasonably fair
history professor...
859
00:59:39,592 --> 00:59:41,492
once my time is up.
860
00:59:48,468 --> 00:59:50,368
Thank you.
861
00:59:50,470 --> 00:59:52,370
Thank you, Peter.
862
00:59:55,475 --> 00:59:57,705
In again, out again. Gone again, Finnegan.
863
00:59:57,810 --> 01:00:00,836
Boy, we sure earn our money taking
care of you. How'd the luncheon go?
864
01:00:00,947 --> 01:00:02,847
What'd you tell those bankers?
865
01:00:02,949 --> 01:00:06,214
That "In God We Trust" is on a thin dime
as well as on a silver dollar.
866
01:00:06,319 --> 01:00:08,378
Yes, sir.
867
01:00:08,488 --> 01:00:11,582
A call from the superintendent
of the Naval Academy at Annapolis.
868
01:00:11,691 --> 01:00:14,159
You're invited to speak in the chapel
a week from Sunday.
869
01:00:14,260 --> 01:00:17,787
The Naval Academy? Ah, tell the
superintendent I'd be greatly honored.
870
01:00:17,897 --> 01:00:20,024
Another acceptance.
General and Mrs. Eisenhower...
871
01:00:20,133 --> 01:00:22,033
will attend the St. Andrew's Day dinner.
872
01:00:22,135 --> 01:00:24,069
Well, any more good news today?
873
01:00:24,170 --> 01:00:27,765
Senator Harvey called. I-I'm not sure
that I have his message straight.
874
01:00:27,874 --> 01:00:31,366
He said something about a hill
and the wind orthe breeze...
875
01:00:31,477 --> 01:00:33,809
or something being very refreshing.
876
01:00:33,913 --> 01:00:35,938
Uh, does that mean anything to you?
877
01:00:45,625 --> 01:00:49,254
A lessening of tension as Tokyo
announces that Special Envoy Saburo Kurusu...
878
01:00:49,362 --> 01:00:52,729
is en route to Washington to meet with
Cordell Hull and Ambassador Nomura.
879
01:00:52,832 --> 01:00:54,800
However, the big news
today on Capitol Hill...
880
01:00:54,901 --> 01:00:57,563
is the defeat of the controversial
Cheavers' Land Bill.
881
01:00:57,670 --> 01:01:00,002
The deciding vote came
by way of a bombshell.
882
01:01:00,106 --> 01:01:02,233
It was cast by Senator Willis K. Harvey.
883
01:01:02,341 --> 01:01:04,502
On the other side ofCapitol Hill-
884
01:01:05,945 --> 01:01:09,278
- So, that was what he meant.
- That was it, Miss Crilley.
885
01:01:09,382 --> 01:01:12,078
- But what a strange way of putting it.
- Aye.
886
01:01:12,185 --> 01:01:15,450
Strange and mysterious,
like the ways of the Lord.
887
01:01:30,503 --> 01:01:32,403
I don't feel right about this sermon.
888
01:01:32,505 --> 01:01:35,303
There's something wrong with it,
and I can't put my finger on it.
889
01:01:35,408 --> 01:01:37,603
I'll read a page or so,
then maybe you could tell me.
890
01:01:39,011 --> 01:01:41,502
"Everyone agrees
that we of the 20th century...
891
01:01:41,614 --> 01:01:44,310
"have made far more advances
in the scientific world...
892
01:01:44,417 --> 01:01:46,749
than we have in the world
of morals and ethics."
893
01:01:46,853 --> 01:01:50,687
- Peter, I hate to interrupt-
- Why, is it that bad?
894
01:01:50,790 --> 01:01:53,486
No. I'm sure it's wonderful.
895
01:01:53,593 --> 01:01:57,290
But I think you'd better get me
to the hospital right away.
896
01:01:58,364 --> 01:02:00,389
Catherine!
897
01:02:39,472 --> 01:02:42,930
Peter, I thought you'd be
halfway to Annapolis by this time.
898
01:02:43,042 --> 01:02:44,942
I had to have one more look at him.
899
01:02:45,044 --> 01:02:49,276
And, believe it or not, he's grown
a good inch since 6:53 this morning.
900
01:02:49,382 --> 01:02:51,976
Good-bye, darling.
I'll call you as soon as I get back.
901
01:02:56,088 --> 01:02:57,988
And thank you, Catherine.
902
01:02:58,090 --> 01:03:00,115
Thank you for the bonnywee laddie.
903
01:03:00,226 --> 01:03:02,126
Thank you for my son.
904
01:03:36,295 --> 01:03:39,594
# Eternal Father #
905
01:03:39,699 --> 01:03:42,759
# Strong to save #
906
01:03:42,869 --> 01:03:46,100
# Whose arm doth bind #
907
01:03:46,205 --> 01:03:50,767
# The restless wave #
908
01:03:50,877 --> 01:03:56,679
# Who bidd'st the mighty ocean deep #
909
01:03:56,782 --> 01:03:59,250
They're so young.
910
01:03:59,352 --> 01:04:01,252
So young and fine.
911
01:04:03,289 --> 01:04:06,383
Something wrong, Dr. Marshall?
912
01:04:06,492 --> 01:04:11,088
I can't throw off the feeling that the sermon
I've prepared isn't the right one.
913
01:04:11,197 --> 01:04:13,097
It's been haunting me all week.
914
01:04:13,199 --> 01:04:16,396
Well, then, by all means,
say what you like.
915
01:04:18,938 --> 01:04:21,406
I think I shall.
916
01:04:21,507 --> 01:04:23,407
Thank you.
917
01:04:56,309 --> 01:04:59,642
James, fourth chapter...
918
01:04:59,745 --> 01:05:02,441
14th verse.
919
01:05:02,548 --> 01:05:05,847
For what is your life?
920
01:05:05,952 --> 01:05:08,182
It is even a vapor...
921
01:05:08,287 --> 01:05:11,381
that appeareth for a little while...
922
01:05:11,490 --> 01:05:13,390
then vanisheth away.
923
01:05:18,698 --> 01:05:21,531
What a queer thing for James to say.
924
01:05:21,634 --> 01:05:25,934
It's a strange statement to find
in the New Testament, is it not?
925
01:05:26,038 --> 01:05:29,064
Is he being cynical? Is he joking?
926
01:05:30,509 --> 01:05:33,069
Well, hardly.
927
01:05:33,179 --> 01:05:37,240
If you look at the context
in which this statement appears...
928
01:05:37,350 --> 01:05:39,944
you will see that James
is speaking to those...
929
01:05:40,052 --> 01:05:42,520
who make great assumptions
as to the future...
930
01:05:42,621 --> 01:05:46,318
with never a thought
of the contingency of life itself.
931
01:05:46,425 --> 01:05:50,361
He's addressing himself to those
who never think ofGod...
932
01:05:50,463 --> 01:05:54,092
and who act and live as though
they had a mortgage on time...
933
01:05:54,200 --> 01:05:58,330
thosewho give no thought to the fact
that they may never see tomorrow...
934
01:05:58,437 --> 01:06:03,374
those who act as though
they had a long lease on life...
935
01:06:03,476 --> 01:06:06,502
as though they had immunity somehow...
936
01:06:06,612 --> 01:06:11,675
as though that cold and clammy hand
of the dread messenger...
937
01:06:11,784 --> 01:06:14,480
would never touch their hearts.
938
01:06:14,587 --> 01:06:17,852
Yet, death inevitablycomes...
939
01:06:19,025 --> 01:06:21,459
to the king in his palace...
940
01:06:21,560 --> 01:06:24,723
the beggarbythe roadside...
941
01:06:24,830 --> 01:06:26,730
the animal in his hole.
942
01:06:27,833 --> 01:06:30,734
But what is death?
943
01:06:30,836 --> 01:06:34,397
I s it to be blown out
like a candle in the wind?
944
01:06:34,507 --> 01:06:37,806
Is it a shivering void in which
there is nothing that lives?
945
01:06:37,910 --> 01:06:40,003
Is it a cold space into
which we are launched...
946
01:06:40,112 --> 01:06:42,205
to be evaporated orto disappear?
947
01:06:42,314 --> 01:06:46,307
Arewe to believe that
a half-mad eternal humorist...
948
01:06:46,419 --> 01:06:49,786
tossed the worlds aloft
and left their destiny to chance?
949
01:06:49,889 --> 01:06:53,381
That a man's life is the development
of a nameless vagrancy?
950
01:06:53,492 --> 01:06:58,020
That a hole in the groundsix feet deep
is his final heritage?
951
01:06:58,130 --> 01:07:01,964
There are a thousand insane things
easier to believe than these.
952
01:07:03,502 --> 01:07:07,131
How can we believe that human personality
wi I I not survive...
953
01:07:07,239 --> 01:07:09,730
when one who went
into the grave and beyond...
954
01:07:09,842 --> 01:07:11,742
came back to say...
955
01:07:11,844 --> 01:07:16,304
"Whosoever believeth in me
shall not perish...
956
01:07:16,415 --> 01:07:18,815
but have eternal life."
957
01:07:21,821 --> 01:07:24,289
In a home of which I know...
958
01:07:24,390 --> 01:07:27,985
a little boy, the only son...
959
01:07:28,094 --> 01:07:30,062
was ill of an incurable disease.
960
01:07:30,162 --> 01:07:33,131
Month after month,
the mother had tenderly read to him...
961
01:07:33,232 --> 01:07:35,132
nursed him and played with him...
962
01:07:35,234 --> 01:07:37,134
hoping to keep him from realizing...
963
01:07:37,236 --> 01:07:40,330
the dreadful finality
of the doctor's diagnosis.
964
01:07:41,574 --> 01:07:44,566
But as the weeks went by
and he grew no better...
965
01:07:44,677 --> 01:07:49,410
the little fellow gradually began to
understand the meaning of the term "death,"
966
01:07:50,549 --> 01:07:53,245
and he too knew that soon he was to die.
967
01:07:55,421 --> 01:07:59,687
One day, the mother had been
reading to him the stirring tales...
968
01:07:59,792 --> 01:08:02,818
of King Arthur and his knights
of the Round Table...
969
01:08:02,928 --> 01:08:07,092
And of that last glorious battle in which
so many fair knights met their death.
970
01:08:08,834 --> 01:08:11,632
As she closed the book...
971
01:08:11,737 --> 01:08:14,228
the boy lay silent for a moment...
972
01:08:14,340 --> 01:08:18,367
then asked the question that had been
weighing on his childish heart.
973
01:08:20,513 --> 01:08:24,313
"Mother, what is it like to die?
974
01:08:25,951 --> 01:08:29,751
Mother, does it hurt?"
975
01:08:29,855 --> 01:08:32,449
Quick tears sprang to her eye,
and she fled into the kitchen...
976
01:08:32,558 --> 01:08:34,458
supposedly to tend
to something on the stove.
977
01:08:34,560 --> 01:08:38,894
She knew it was a question with deep
significance. She knew it must be answered.
978
01:08:38,998 --> 01:08:42,832
She leaned for an instant against the kitchen
door and breathed a hurried prayer...
979
01:08:42,935 --> 01:08:45,495
that the Lord would not let her
break down in front of the boy...
980
01:08:45,571 --> 01:08:48,404
that he would tell her what to say.
981
01:08:48,507 --> 01:08:51,067
And the Lord did tell her.
982
01:08:51,177 --> 01:08:53,941
Immediately she knew
how to explain it to him.
983
01:08:54,046 --> 01:08:57,038
"Kenneth," she said,
as she returned to his room...
984
01:08:58,317 --> 01:09:00,615
"you remember how
when you were a little boy...
985
01:09:00,719 --> 01:09:03,313
"you would play so hard all day...
986
01:09:03,422 --> 01:09:07,119
"that when night came you were
too tired even to undress...
987
01:09:07,226 --> 01:09:10,059
"and would tumble into your mother's bed
and fall asleep?
988
01:09:11,230 --> 01:09:14,927
"In the morning, much to your surprise...
989
01:09:15,034 --> 01:09:19,937
"you would wake up and find yourself
in your own room in your own bed.
990
01:09:20,039 --> 01:09:24,476
"You were there because someone had
loved you and taken care of you.
991
01:09:24,577 --> 01:09:28,638
"Your daddy had come with big strong arms
and carried you to your own room.
992
01:09:29,682 --> 01:09:33,482
"Kenneth, death is like that.
993
01:09:34,853 --> 01:09:37,253
"We just wake up one morning...
994
01:09:37,356 --> 01:09:40,348
"to find ourselves in the other room-
995
01:09:40,459 --> 01:09:43,553
"our own room where we belong...
996
01:09:43,662 --> 01:09:46,358
because the Lord Jesus had loved us."
997
01:09:48,701 --> 01:09:53,001
The lad's shining, trusting face
looking up into hers...
998
01:09:53,105 --> 01:09:55,596
told her that
there would be no more fear...
999
01:09:55,708 --> 01:09:57,903
only love and trust in his little heart...
1000
01:09:58,010 --> 01:10:00,001
as he went to meet the Father in heaven.
1001
01:10:02,181 --> 01:10:04,081
He never questioned again.
1002
01:10:05,584 --> 01:10:08,610
And several weeks later, he fell asleep...
1003
01:10:08,721 --> 01:10:10,621
just as she had said.
1004
01:10:13,192 --> 01:10:15,854
That is what death is like.
1005
01:10:15,961 --> 01:10:19,328
Yet, in the life beyond...
1006
01:10:19,431 --> 01:10:21,865
the question inevitably comes...
1007
01:10:21,967 --> 01:10:24,367
"With what body do we move?"
1008
01:10:24,470 --> 01:10:27,268
Certainly not with
such a body as ours is today.
1009
01:10:27,373 --> 01:10:29,705
Not with rickets or a clubfoot.
1010
01:10:29,808 --> 01:10:32,971
Not with twisted spine or withered arm.
1011
01:10:33,078 --> 01:10:35,808
Not with calloused hands or wrinkled brow.
1012
01:10:35,914 --> 01:10:40,010
Not with a heart filled with the broken glass
ofvanquished dreams.
1013
01:10:40,119 --> 01:10:43,020
Not with the drunkard's thirst
like the fires ofhell...
1014
01:10:43,122 --> 01:10:46,819
nor the sensualist's lust
like gnawing worms.
1015
01:10:46,925 --> 01:10:50,622
Not with the bitter memories of a son's crime
or a daughter's shame.
1016
01:10:50,729 --> 01:10:54,631
Not with the scar across the throat
that the maniac's frenzy made. No!
1017
01:10:54,733 --> 01:10:58,635
Not with these do we make our entrance
upon that largerstage.
1018
01:10:58,737 --> 01:11:03,367
We rise, not clothed again in dying clay...
1019
01:11:03,475 --> 01:11:07,969
not garbed once more with
the faded garments of mortal flesh...
1020
01:11:08,080 --> 01:11:11,106
but with the shining mercy ofGod.
1021
01:11:15,387 --> 01:11:17,981
If the Bible is true...
1022
01:11:18,090 --> 01:11:20,957
and Christ has not deceived us...
1023
01:11:21,060 --> 01:11:23,153
there awaits beyond the curtain...
1024
01:11:23,262 --> 01:11:25,162
a life that will never end...
1025
01:11:26,398 --> 01:11:31,097
a life of beauty andpeace andlove.
1026
01:11:31,203 --> 01:11:33,398
A life ofreunion with loved ones...
1027
01:11:33,505 --> 01:11:35,803
who, like ourselves...
1028
01:11:35,908 --> 01:11:38,741
have trusted in the verypresence ofGod.
1029
01:11:40,479 --> 01:11:42,709
There shal I be no more pain...
1030
01:11:42,815 --> 01:11:45,045
no more sorrow...
1031
01:11:45,150 --> 01:11:49,587
nor tears, nor parting, nor death anymore.
1032
01:11:49,688 --> 01:11:53,055
Age shall not weary nor the years condemn.
1033
01:11:53,158 --> 01:11:55,786
We shall enter into that
for which we were created.
1034
01:11:57,396 --> 01:11:59,921
It shall be the journey's end
for the heart...
1035
01:12:00,032 --> 01:12:02,523
and all its hopes.
1036
01:12:02,634 --> 01:12:07,037
It shall be the end of the rainbow
for the child-explorers ofGod.
1037
01:12:09,708 --> 01:12:11,733
We have his promise for that.
1038
01:12:18,617 --> 01:12:20,778
Let us pray.
1039
01:12:26,225 --> 01:12:28,489
Our fathers' God...
1040
01:12:28,594 --> 01:12:32,553
to thee who are
the author of our liberty...
1041
01:12:32,664 --> 01:12:34,962
and under whom we have our freedom...
1042
01:12:35,067 --> 01:12:36,967
we say our prayer.
1043
01:12:38,604 --> 01:12:42,802
Make us ever mindful that we are
the heirs of a great heritage...
1044
01:12:42,908 --> 01:12:46,241
and the trustees of priceless things...
1045
01:12:46,345 --> 01:12:48,711
lest we forget the price
that was paid for them...
1046
01:12:48,814 --> 01:12:51,749
or the cost that mayyet
have to be met to keep them.
1047
01:12:51,850 --> 01:12:55,513
Make us strong, O God, in conviction...
1048
01:12:56,655 --> 01:12:59,055
with the insight of our perilous times...
1049
01:13:00,592 --> 01:13:03,584
and in the courage for our testing.
1050
01:13:06,165 --> 01:13:08,065
Amen.
1051
01:13:22,714 --> 01:13:25,205
Dr. Marshall.
1052
01:13:25,317 --> 01:13:28,184
I only know I had to give that sermon.
1053
01:13:42,668 --> 01:13:45,034
- Can I give you a lift?
- Thank you, sir.
1054
01:13:53,645 --> 01:13:56,705
Ladies and gentlemen,
we are interrupting this program...
1055
01:13:56,815 --> 01:13:58,715
to bringyou an important announcement.
1056
01:13:58,817 --> 01:14:01,650
The Japanese have attacked
Pearl Harbor, Honolulu from the air...
1057
01:14:01,753 --> 01:14:05,211
and all naval and military objectives
of the island ofOahu...
1058
01:14:05,324 --> 01:14:09,055
the principle American base
in the Hawaiian Islands.
1059
01:14:09,161 --> 01:14:13,393
Attention all military
and naval personnel...
1060
01:14:13,499 --> 01:14:15,558
all leaves are canceled.
1061
01:14:15,667 --> 01:14:17,999
Return at once to your bases.
1062
01:14:18,103 --> 01:14:22,199
I repeat, return at once to your bases.
1063
01:14:22,307 --> 01:14:24,935
Please stand by for further announcement.
1064
01:14:26,311 --> 01:14:29,144
Wil I you let me out, si r?
I 'I I catch a ride back.
1065
01:14:45,597 --> 01:14:48,896
Now came
the waryears. Peter made tours ofcamps...
1066
01:14:49,001 --> 01:14:52,437
spoke at bond rallies,
visited army and navy hospitals.
1067
01:14:52,538 --> 01:14:55,974
With the influx ofmilitary personnel
and government workers...
1068
01:14:56,074 --> 01:14:59,100
his ministerial duties doubled and tripled.
1069
01:14:59,211 --> 01:15:01,543
And from Normandy to Okinawa...
1070
01:15:01,647 --> 01:15:07,210
lonely boys remembered the canteen in
the basement of an old Washington church.
1071
01:15:07,319 --> 01:15:09,446
# Yes, mares eat oats and does eat oats #
1072
01:15:09,555 --> 01:15:11,455
# And I ittle lambs eat ivy #
1073
01:15:11,557 --> 01:15:14,993
# A kid will eat ivy too Wouldn't you #
1074
01:15:15,093 --> 01:15:19,223
# If the words sound queer
and funny to your ear #
1075
01:15:19,331 --> 01:15:22,789
# A little bit jumbled and jivey #
1076
01:15:22,901 --> 01:15:26,860
# Mares eat oats and does eat oats #
1077
01:15:26,972 --> 01:15:30,135
# And little lambs eat ivy #
1078
01:15:30,242 --> 01:15:34,110
# Oh, mares eat oats, anddoes eat oats
andlittle lambs eat ivy##
1079
01:15:34,212 --> 01:15:38,444
Sorry. Girls, it doesn't seem possible, but
they went through that last batch of sandwiches.
1080
01:15:38,550 --> 01:15:40,450
Reinforcements coming up.
1081
01:15:40,552 --> 01:15:42,918
For a senator, you do make the best coffee.
1082
01:15:43,021 --> 01:15:45,751
I think it's the egg. Oh, by the way...
1083
01:15:45,857 --> 01:15:48,485
did I congratulate you
on your recent victory?
1084
01:15:48,594 --> 01:15:51,859
- Recent victory?
- Being returned to the Senate, of course.
1085
01:15:51,964 --> 01:15:55,491
- Oh, that was nearly two years ago.
- Oh, my, how time flies.
1086
01:15:55,601 --> 01:15:58,570
Well, better late than never.
Congratulations.
1087
01:15:58,670 --> 01:16:00,570
Thank you.
1088
01:16:01,707 --> 01:16:03,800
What's the matter, Catherine?
1089
01:16:03,909 --> 01:16:07,401
Oh, nothing.
I guess I'm just a little tired.
1090
01:16:09,381 --> 01:16:12,043
I'll take it. You watch my coffee, hmm?
1091
01:16:12,150 --> 01:16:14,050
Thank you, Senator.
1092
01:16:20,826 --> 01:16:22,953
Catherine.
1093
01:16:24,129 --> 01:16:26,222
# Don'tsit under the apple tree #
1094
01:16:26,331 --> 01:16:29,164
- # With anyone else but me #
- Pardon me, lady.
1095
01:16:29,267 --> 01:16:32,168
# Anyone else but me Anyone else but me #
1096
01:16:32,270 --> 01:16:35,262
# No, no, no
Don't sit under the apple tree #
1097
01:16:35,374 --> 01:16:37,308
# With anyone else but me #
1098
01:16:37,409 --> 01:16:42,039
# Till I come marching home #
1099
01:16:42,147 --> 01:16:44,138
# Don't go wal ki ng down lovers' lane #
1100
01:16:44,249 --> 01:16:46,513
- # With anyone else but me #
- # No, no, no #
1101
01:16:46,618 --> 01:16:48,643
# Anyone else but me No, no, no #
1102
01:16:48,754 --> 01:16:51,086
# Anyone else but me No, no, no #
1103
01:16:51,189 --> 01:16:54,818
# Don't go walking down lovers'lane
with anyone else but me #
1104
01:16:54,926 --> 01:16:59,420
Laura, I'm so happyyou've decided to join us.
And you've brought flowers too.
1105
01:16:59,531 --> 01:17:03,331
I have no intention of joining you.
And the flowers are for Mr. Lincoln.
1106
01:17:03,435 --> 01:17:07,371
It's my custom, if you remember, to decorate
his parlor on the eve ofhis birthday.
1107
01:17:07,472 --> 01:17:09,621
- Yes, and it's such a sweet custom too.
- Hey, ma'am...
1108
01:17:09,641 --> 01:17:12,321
- we're fresh out of sandwiches.
- Refreshments coming right up now.
1109
01:17:12,344 --> 01:17:14,244
- I'll take 'em.
- Oh, well, thank you.
1110
01:17:14,346 --> 01:17:15,813
He's so... - Rude.
1111
01:17:15,914 --> 01:17:19,179
Yes. No! Yes. Good night, Laura.
1112
01:17:19,284 --> 01:17:22,583
# From a guy who heard
from the guynext doorto me #
1113
01:17:22,688 --> 01:17:26,454
# The girl he metjust loves to pet
and it fitsyou to a "T" #
1114
01:17:26,558 --> 01:17:29,152
# So, don't sit under the apple tree #
1115
01:17:29,261 --> 01:17:31,491
# With anyone else but me #
1116
01:17:31,596 --> 01:17:35,696
# Till I come marching home ##
1117
01:17:41,173 --> 01:17:43,971
What's the matter, Willie?
Don't you like my knuckleball?
1118
01:17:44,076 --> 01:17:46,408
Just get over the plate. That's all.
1119
01:17:46,511 --> 01:17:49,742
Maybe I'm too fast for you.
Now see what you can do with this one.
1120
01:17:53,919 --> 01:17:56,217
There it comes!
1121
01:18:01,226 --> 01:18:03,660
- Boy, that's a beaut.
- Wow.
1122
01:18:03,762 --> 01:18:05,662
Don't worry, Willie. Don't worry.
1123
01:18:07,699 --> 01:18:09,894
Oh, good morning.
1124
01:18:12,826 --> 01:18:14,817
A great little ballplayer,
that Willie Updike.
1125
01:18:14,929 --> 01:18:18,160
You mark my words. We're going
to hear from that boy someday.
1126
01:18:18,265 --> 01:18:22,326
I'm awfully sorry about the window.
Naturally I'll pay for replacing it.
1127
01:18:22,436 --> 01:18:24,404
There's nothing very special
about it, is there?
1128
01:18:24,505 --> 01:18:26,439
Oh, you wouldn't think so, Dr. Marshall.
1129
01:18:26,540 --> 01:18:28,770
It was only the Abigail Fowler window-
1130
01:18:28,876 --> 01:18:30,776
a memorial to my grandmother.
1131
01:18:30,878 --> 01:18:32,778
Oh, I am sorry, Miss Fowler.
1132
01:18:32,880 --> 01:18:35,144
- But I'm thankful it's only a small pane.
- Yes.
1133
01:18:35,249 --> 01:18:39,743
I suppose we should be thankful
that the church is standing at all.
1134
01:18:39,853 --> 01:18:43,482
- Just what do you mean by that?
- I don't think I need to explain.
1135
01:18:43,590 --> 01:18:46,320
Now, Laura, we agreed
there was to be no bickering...
1136
01:18:46,427 --> 01:18:48,588
no rehashing of personal grievances.
1137
01:18:48,696 --> 01:18:50,596
Now, just what do you mean?
1138
01:18:50,698 --> 01:18:52,598
Is this a censuring committee or something?
1139
01:18:52,700 --> 01:18:54,793
Well, not exactly. But an incident...
1140
01:18:54,902 --> 01:18:58,099
possibly a situation, has arisen
that requires immediate discussion.
1141
01:18:58,205 --> 01:19:01,572
Uh, supposewe adjourn
to your study, Dr. Marshall?
1142
01:19:01,675 --> 01:19:03,575
By all means.
1143
01:19:09,383 --> 01:19:12,079
Miss Fowler.
1144
01:19:12,186 --> 01:19:14,780
Mrs. Peyton, would you sit here?
1145
01:19:14,888 --> 01:19:17,083
Colonel Whiting. Mr. Peyton.
1146
01:19:17,191 --> 01:19:19,250
No, thanks, I'll stand here.
1147
01:19:22,429 --> 01:19:26,058
- Yes?
- No calls, please, unless it's Mrs. Marshall calling.
1148
01:19:29,470 --> 01:19:32,598
Now, what is this situation that's arisen?
1149
01:19:32,706 --> 01:19:35,732
Well, it's the canteen, Dr. Marshall.
1150
01:19:35,843 --> 01:19:39,745
Laura... Miss Fowler... wants to close it up.
1151
01:19:39,847 --> 01:19:41,747
Close the canteen?
1152
01:19:41,849 --> 01:19:43,783
Why, I've never heard
of anything so fantastic.
1153
01:19:43,884 --> 01:19:46,444
I understand howyou feel, Dr. Marshall.
1154
01:19:46,553 --> 01:19:49,545
I admit I was wholeheartedly
for it in the beginning...
1155
01:19:49,656 --> 01:19:52,420
but these things can get out ofhand.
1156
01:19:52,526 --> 01:19:55,188
Well, is it the-is it the noise
you're referring to?
1157
01:19:55,295 --> 01:19:57,195
N- No. No one's complained about that.
1158
01:19:57,297 --> 01:20:00,858
Well, then what in heaven's name
is there to complain about?
1159
01:20:00,968 --> 01:20:02,868
Haveyou evervisited the canteen,
Miss Fowler?
1160
01:20:02,970 --> 01:20:07,236
Indeed not.
I've disapproved ofit from the start.
1161
01:20:07,341 --> 01:20:10,606
But, as with many of your innovations,
I've kept silence.
1162
01:20:10,711 --> 01:20:13,236
I can't say I've not been aware
of your silences, Miss Fowler.
1163
01:20:13,347 --> 01:20:15,247
They've been very eloquent.
1164
01:20:15,349 --> 01:20:18,580
How could they be other wise, Dr. Marshall?
1165
01:20:18,685 --> 01:20:22,815
New YorkAvenue Church
was my life, my heritage.
1166
01:20:22,923 --> 01:20:26,290
It's as if myvery home
had been invaded by strangers...
1167
01:20:26,393 --> 01:20:28,691
invited by a stranger.
1168
01:20:28,796 --> 01:20:31,060
And an immigrant to boot.
1169
01:20:31,165 --> 01:20:34,032
Sinceyou mention it, yes.
1170
01:20:34,134 --> 01:20:37,592
And one deliberately and defiantly alien...
1171
01:20:37,704 --> 01:20:40,434
to all that this church has stood for.
1172
01:20:40,541 --> 01:20:45,672
Oh, I've watched you strolling the streets
of Washington in that shirt and coat...
1173
01:20:45,779 --> 01:20:48,145
belonging at a race meet.
1174
01:20:48,248 --> 01:20:53,242
I've watchedyou buildyour ego
by changing and uprooting.
1175
01:20:53,353 --> 01:20:56,220
I've watched the old things go.
1176
01:20:57,825 --> 01:21:03,388
The quartet, an elegant tradition
in the New York Avenue Church...
1177
01:21:03,497 --> 01:21:06,091
replaced by the booming choir of yours.
1178
01:21:06,200 --> 01:21:08,134
But, Laura, everybody thinks
the choir's better.
1179
01:21:08,235 --> 01:21:11,636
- Please let her go on, Mrs. Peyton.
- I'm almost finished.
1180
01:21:11,738 --> 01:21:15,674
I could bring up a hundred affronts
that I've endured without protest.
1181
01:21:15,776 --> 01:21:18,870
But the other night
when I visited the church...
1182
01:21:18,979 --> 01:21:23,814
and found the lecture room where
Mrs. Hathaway conducted her Bible class...
1183
01:21:23,917 --> 01:21:26,715
turned into a cabaret...
1184
01:21:26,820 --> 01:21:30,187
the Lincoln Parlor desecrated-
1185
01:21:30,290 --> 01:21:32,781
The Lincoln Parlor?
1186
01:21:32,893 --> 01:21:35,691
Oh, it wasn't anything so terrible.
1187
01:21:35,796 --> 01:21:39,288
I mean, it wasn't anything you couldn't see
in any park these days.
1188
01:21:39,399 --> 01:21:43,961
But maybe it was a little out of place
on Mr. Lincoln's sofa.
1189
01:21:44,071 --> 01:21:46,665
So that's what all this is about?
1190
01:21:46,773 --> 01:21:49,105
Ayoung sailor and a girl?
1191
01:21:49,209 --> 01:21:51,268
- Then you did know about it.
- Certainlyl knew.
1192
01:21:51,378 --> 01:21:54,108
I turned it over to them.
I even told them to lock the door.
1193
01:21:54,214 --> 01:21:56,114
It's too bad they didn't.
1194
01:21:56,216 --> 01:22:00,653
We're all adults, Dr. Marshall,
and reasonably broad-minded...
1195
01:22:00,754 --> 01:22:04,246
but I think in this instance... Where
else could those two kids go to be alone?
1196
01:22:04,358 --> 01:22:07,759
Where in Washington could they even
find a doorstep in these days?
1197
01:22:07,861 --> 01:22:09,761
As an immigrant and an alien...
1198
01:22:09,863 --> 01:22:12,195
I can't claim to know Mr. Lincoln
as well as you people...
1199
01:22:12,299 --> 01:22:14,199
but I don't believe that he minded a bit...
1200
01:22:14,301 --> 01:22:17,759
that those two spent their poor little
two-hour honeymoon in his parlor.
1201
01:22:17,871 --> 01:22:19,771
Honeymoon?
1202
01:22:19,873 --> 01:22:21,966
That's right. That's all they had.
1203
01:22:22,075 --> 01:22:24,805
I married them round 7:00 that night.
1204
01:22:24,912 --> 01:22:29,212
He was shipping out at 9:00.
She was a little girl from an Iowa farm...
1205
01:22:29,316 --> 01:22:31,910
a government worker,
one of these strangers...
1206
01:22:32,019 --> 01:22:34,886
I permitted to invade
New YorkAvenue Church.
1207
01:22:34,988 --> 01:22:37,218
He was a boy from California.
They met in this canteen.
1208
01:22:42,629 --> 01:22:45,826
Hello? Oh, hello, Catherine.
1209
01:22:45,933 --> 01:22:48,197
All right, darling. In about 10 minutes.
1210
01:22:48,302 --> 01:22:51,533
All right. Good-bye.
1211
01:22:51,638 --> 01:22:55,404
My wife has a medical appointment.
Our son will be alone, so I must go home.
1212
01:22:55,509 --> 01:22:59,070
As for the canteen, it stays open,
oryou can find yourselves a new minister.
1213
01:22:59,179 --> 01:23:02,171
Now are you being fantastic, Dr. Marshall?
1214
01:23:02,282 --> 01:23:05,547
True, there was a slight misunderstanding,
but it's been cleared up.
1215
01:23:05,652 --> 01:23:09,588
- Sure, a case of mistaken identity.
- Oh, Dr. Marshall...
1216
01:23:09,690 --> 01:23:12,682
if onlyyou had let me know
about that sweet little couple...
1217
01:23:12,793 --> 01:23:14,693
I could have baked them a cake.
1218
01:23:23,237 --> 01:23:26,263
- Where's the kitchen?
- Uh-Oh, right here.
1219
01:23:26,373 --> 01:23:28,432
- Oh.
- A fine, big, cozy kitchen...
1220
01:23:28,542 --> 01:23:31,670
with a great pot ofScotch broth
steaming away...
1221
01:23:31,778 --> 01:23:33,769
and shortbread in the oven.
1222
01:23:33,880 --> 01:23:35,780
- Which reminds me, are you hungry?
- Yes.
1223
01:23:35,882 --> 01:23:38,510
So am I.
1224
01:23:40,654 --> 01:23:43,145
Mommy!
1225
01:23:43,257 --> 01:23:46,624
Hi. Hello, Peter John.
1226
01:23:57,337 --> 01:24:00,795
Will you excuse us for a minute, Peter John?
Why don't you play down here for a while?
1227
01:24:00,907 --> 01:24:03,774
- Can I melt some ice cubes in the kitchen?
- All right.
1228
01:24:16,056 --> 01:24:18,388
What's the matter, Catherine?
1229
01:24:18,492 --> 01:24:21,757
I have tuberculosis.
1230
01:24:21,862 --> 01:24:23,762
There's no need to be afraid of me.
1231
01:24:23,864 --> 01:24:26,355
I asked the doctor.
I asked all three doctors.
1232
01:24:26,466 --> 01:24:28,798
It isn't dangerous.
1233
01:24:28,902 --> 01:24:30,802
I can't give it to you or to Peter John.
1234
01:24:30,904 --> 01:24:33,668
It's-It's what's known as a closed case.
1235
01:24:33,774 --> 01:24:36,470
Dr. Blackwants you to call him.
He'll tell you all about it.
1236
01:24:36,576 --> 01:24:40,239
But this doesn't mean that-
that you've got to go away?
1237
01:24:40,347 --> 01:24:44,511
Oh, no. Just to bed
for three or four months.
1238
01:24:46,286 --> 01:24:50,052
- That's not too bad.
- How can you say that?
1239
01:24:50,157 --> 01:24:52,785
Who'll look after the house?
Who'll take care of Peter John?
1240
01:24:52,893 --> 01:24:54,793
I don't know, but there'll be somebody.
1241
01:24:54,895 --> 01:24:57,762
Not every maid in Washington's
on the swing shift.
1242
01:24:57,864 --> 01:25:00,856
Now, darling, you go and change.
I'll turn your bed down.
1243
01:25:00,967 --> 01:25:05,734
What about dinner?
1244
01:25:05,839 --> 01:25:09,240
I think Peter John's
throwing something together now.
1245
01:25:53,387 --> 01:25:55,287
Hello, darling. How's everything?
1246
01:25:55,389 --> 01:25:59,382
Oh, all sparkling excitement.
1247
01:25:59,493 --> 01:26:03,327
I can hear the cars passing in the streets.
1248
01:26:03,430 --> 01:26:05,830
Once in a while a bird comes
and sits on the sill.
1249
01:26:05,932 --> 01:26:08,662
Oh. Poor Catherine.
1250
01:26:08,769 --> 01:26:12,364
Why do you say that? Why don't you tell me
that everything's going to be all right?
1251
01:26:12,472 --> 01:26:15,168
Or are you simply reconciled to all this?
1252
01:26:15,275 --> 01:26:18,369
Oh, darling. I'm sorry.
1253
01:26:26,820 --> 01:26:30,085
"Miss Myrtle Bixby." Who's she?
1254
01:26:30,190 --> 01:26:33,455
A little girl who used to live next doorto me
when I was seven.
1255
01:26:33,560 --> 01:26:36,028
She had beautiful red hair,
and I was jealous ofit.
1256
01:26:36,129 --> 01:26:38,654
So I told the other kids it was dyed.
1257
01:26:40,867 --> 01:26:44,200
"Mr. R.J. Ross of Keyser High School"?
1258
01:26:44,304 --> 01:26:48,035
My algebra teacher.
I cheated in a final examination.
1259
01:26:48,141 --> 01:26:50,803
Other wise, I wouldn't have passed.
1260
01:26:50,911 --> 01:26:53,675
And "Mrs. Lionel Eaton"?
1261
01:26:53,780 --> 01:26:56,681
A girl from Agnes Scott. We had a fight...
1262
01:26:56,783 --> 01:26:59,274
overyou as a matter off act.
1263
01:26:59,386 --> 01:27:03,322
I'm writing to everyone in my past life
that I ever did a mean thing to or-
1264
01:27:03,423 --> 01:27:06,483
or thought a mean thought about or-
or cheated or deceived.
1265
01:27:06,593 --> 01:27:10,689
- But why?
- Because I've tried everything else.
1266
01:27:10,797 --> 01:27:13,664
There must be something
I've done to someone.
1267
01:27:13,767 --> 01:27:15,667
There has to be some reason for this.
1268
01:27:15,769 --> 01:27:17,760
Now, you know better than that.
1269
01:27:17,871 --> 01:27:20,704
God doesn't send misfortune
by way of retaliation.
1270
01:27:20,807 --> 01:27:24,265
But I have to do something. I-
1271
01:27:24,377 --> 01:27:28,108
You don't realize what it's-what it's like
lying here month after month.
1272
01:27:28,215 --> 01:27:30,649
Yes, I do.
1273
01:27:30,750 --> 01:27:33,241
No, you don't. You couldn't.
1274
01:27:33,353 --> 01:27:37,414
You're-You're healthy
and strong and-and alive.
1275
01:27:37,524 --> 01:27:40,857
Daddy!
1276
01:27:40,961 --> 01:27:43,122
I promised to take him to the zoo.
1277
01:27:46,433 --> 01:27:48,401
Come on. You drink up your milk.
1278
01:27:51,738 --> 01:27:54,172
If it'll makeyou feel any better,
I'll mail these.
1279
01:27:54,274 --> 01:27:56,242
Please.
1280
01:27:58,678 --> 01:28:00,646
Peter?
1281
01:28:00,747 --> 01:28:02,942
Peter, you still pray for me, don't you?
1282
01:28:04,050 --> 01:28:06,143
You haven't given up?
1283
01:28:06,253 --> 01:28:08,483
Oh, Catherine.
1284
01:28:15,395 --> 01:28:17,295
Do you wonder we're baffled?
1285
01:28:18,498 --> 01:28:21,092
One could say that
for almost three years...
1286
01:28:21,201 --> 01:28:23,260
your wife has been
standing at a crossroads...
1287
01:28:23,370 --> 01:28:26,771
without taking a step in either direction.
1288
01:28:26,873 --> 01:28:30,969
She's had every new test,
every treatment known to science.
1289
01:28:31,077 --> 01:28:34,046
We've even used her as a guinea pig.
1290
01:28:34,147 --> 01:28:37,583
I wish I could offer as much as
a word of encouragement...
1291
01:28:37,684 --> 01:28:39,845
but I wouldn't even dare to do that.
1292
01:28:41,888 --> 01:28:44,448
Well, thank you, Doctor.
1293
01:28:44,558 --> 01:28:47,220
I appreciate your seeing me after hours.
1294
01:28:47,327 --> 01:28:49,295
Anytime, Dr. Marshall.
1295
01:29:10,951 --> 01:29:12,851
Something wrong with the furnace.
1296
01:29:50,924 --> 01:29:53,552
Oh, God, what's happened to us?
1297
01:29:53,660 --> 01:29:55,560
You and me.
1298
01:30:04,270 --> 01:30:07,171
Whatever it is, it-
it's got to be my fault.
1299
01:30:08,875 --> 01:30:11,776
As I told Catherine when she said
there must be some reason...
1300
01:30:11,878 --> 01:30:14,972
you don't punish.
1301
01:30:15,081 --> 01:30:17,049
Could it be that I've-
1302
01:30:17,150 --> 01:30:20,745
I've presumed on your friendship...
1303
01:30:20,854 --> 01:30:24,051
and you're just putting me in my place?
1304
01:30:26,793 --> 01:30:30,388
Did I get a little fatheaded...
1305
01:30:30,497 --> 01:30:34,126
perhaps reading into your plans
more than you meant...
1306
01:30:34,234 --> 01:30:39,035
or interpreting them conveniently
in my own direction?
1307
01:30:44,744 --> 01:30:46,871
Perhaps Miss Fowler was right.
1308
01:30:46,980 --> 01:30:51,314
I was just building my own ego
under the pretense ofbuilding foryou.
1309
01:30:54,087 --> 01:30:57,056
Oh, I know there are ministers...
1310
01:30:57,157 --> 01:30:59,387
doing a much betterjob foryou than I am...
1311
01:30:59,492 --> 01:31:02,791
and not making nearly
as much noise about it.
1312
01:31:08,368 --> 01:31:10,427
Maybe I like this town too much.
1313
01:31:12,439 --> 01:31:14,464
Maybe I'm just standing off...
1314
01:31:14,574 --> 01:31:18,032
watching myselfwalk down
Pennsylvania Avenue...
1315
01:31:18,144 --> 01:31:20,339
saying, "Hello, Mr. Ambassador."
1316
01:31:20,447 --> 01:31:23,746
"How are you, Mr. Senator?"
"Good morning, Mr. Vice President."
1317
01:31:25,185 --> 01:31:29,849
Thinking that Peter Marshall
sure has come a long way.
1318
01:31:37,097 --> 01:31:39,429
Well, I haven't, Lord.
1319
01:31:41,167 --> 01:31:43,135
I'm way back there.
1320
01:31:45,238 --> 01:31:48,730
I haven't as much and I'm not as much
as I was when I was-
1321
01:31:48,842 --> 01:31:51,333
when I was working with one of these.
1322
01:32:03,590 --> 01:32:08,220
Oh, Lord, why can't
I get through to you anymore?
1323
01:32:08,328 --> 01:32:12,628
You know there's nothing I want so much
in my life as to help Catherine, but...
1324
01:32:12,732 --> 01:32:15,826
I can't do it by myself.
1325
01:32:15,935 --> 01:32:17,835
I can't do anything without you.
1326
01:32:25,111 --> 01:32:29,138
Surely Jesus had the power to lift
from the dust of disease...
1327
01:32:29,249 --> 01:32:35,188
the flowers whose stems had been crushed
or withered in the mildews ofhuman misery.
1328
01:32:35,288 --> 01:32:38,086
There came to this woman from Galilee...
1329
01:32:38,191 --> 01:32:42,992
the assurance that ifshe could but touch him,
even if onlythe hem ofhis garment...
1330
01:32:43,096 --> 01:32:46,532
shewould be cured ofher awful malady.
1331
01:32:46,633 --> 01:32:49,397
As this thought
burned itselfinto her mind...
1332
01:32:49,502 --> 01:32:54,735
herfaith was curiously stirred as it wrestled
in the birth throes of a great resolve.
1333
01:32:54,841 --> 01:32:58,538
It was daring, fantastic perhaps,
but it was worth trying.
1334
01:32:58,645 --> 01:33:00,875
It could only fail...
1335
01:33:00,980 --> 01:33:03,141
and shewas no strangerto failure.
1336
01:33:03,249 --> 01:33:07,379
Thus reasoning,
she pushes her waythrough the dense throng.
1337
01:33:07,487 --> 01:33:10,047
People get in theway. Now she is desperate.
1338
01:33:10,156 --> 01:33:13,614
He must not pass so near
and yet so far away.
1339
01:33:13,726 --> 01:33:17,059
Is she to lose this opportunity?
She must touch him.
1340
01:33:17,163 --> 01:33:19,131
Now she can almost reach him.
1341
01:33:19,232 --> 01:33:23,464
At last, just as he passes,
she is able to reach out her hand...
1342
01:33:23,570 --> 01:33:26,903
and with the tip ofherfinger
she touches his robe.
1343
01:33:27,006 --> 01:33:29,099
It was enough.
1344
01:33:32,412 --> 01:33:35,438
God, I've tried.
1345
01:33:35,548 --> 01:33:37,448
But I can't touch you.
1346
01:33:39,419 --> 01:33:41,910
My faith's worn out.
1347
01:33:42,021 --> 01:33:46,082
I can't beg or beseech or demand anymore.
1348
01:33:48,728 --> 01:33:52,494
I haven't the strength
of that woman in Galilee.
1349
01:33:52,599 --> 01:33:56,433
I can't fight my way through
what ever wall there is between us.
1350
01:33:58,404 --> 01:34:01,271
I've done everything I've known how to do.
1351
01:34:04,344 --> 01:34:08,440
If you want me to spend
the rest of my life as an invalid...
1352
01:34:10,049 --> 01:34:12,017
here I am.
1353
01:34:13,353 --> 01:34:15,787
Do whatever you want with me.
1354
01:34:46,853 --> 01:34:48,753
Catherine!
1355
01:34:52,759 --> 01:34:54,659
Catherine.
1356
01:34:59,165 --> 01:35:01,065
I knew it. I knew it.
1357
01:35:01,167 --> 01:35:03,533
Halfway through the sermon
it was as though a voice said...
1358
01:35:03,636 --> 01:35:05,604
"Catherine's all right.
Catherine's all right."
1359
01:35:05,705 --> 01:35:08,799
Yes, but-but, Peter, it worked backwards.
1360
01:35:08,908 --> 01:35:12,366
- I told him he didn't have to do anything.
- That's all he was waiting for.
1361
01:35:12,478 --> 01:35:16,073
He just wanted the gift of every bit of you.
Oh, my darling.
1362
01:35:21,020 --> 01:35:23,648
Ofcourse, the miracle wasn't complete.
1363
01:35:23,756 --> 01:35:27,624
But the next daythe doctors
admitted the change and marveled at it.
1364
01:35:27,727 --> 01:35:31,219
They advised continued rest,
but a change ofscenery.
1365
01:35:31,331 --> 01:35:34,562
So Peter made the down payment
on a little house on the Cape...
1366
01:35:34,667 --> 01:35:37,329
and there we spent the summer.
1367
01:35:37,437 --> 01:35:41,771
All my life I will recall it
as the happy summer.
1368
01:35:41,874 --> 01:35:43,774
Peter painted the shutters blue...
1369
01:35:43,876 --> 01:35:47,175
and planted the little red roses
that reminded him ofScotland.
1370
01:35:47,280 --> 01:35:49,612
And he and Peter John built a boat.
1371
01:35:49,716 --> 01:35:53,982
I expected the boat to sink first time out,
but it proved seaworthy.
1372
01:35:54,087 --> 01:35:57,420
And two old salts
sailed the bounding Maine.
1373
01:36:09,902 --> 01:36:11,802
A bonny boat, eh?
1374
01:36:11,904 --> 01:36:14,395
Aye.
1375
01:36:14,507 --> 01:36:16,839
- And a bonny surprise for Mother.
- Aye.
1376
01:36:16,943 --> 01:36:19,002
But we'll have to handle this
with exquisite tact.
1377
01:36:19,112 --> 01:36:21,694
- It's her house, and it has to be her decision.
- Well, gosh, Dad...
1378
01:36:21,714 --> 01:36:23,614
she's just got to sayyes.
1379
01:36:23,716 --> 01:36:25,616
Good night. Gee whiz.
1380
01:36:25,718 --> 01:36:27,686
Now, you watch it.
With your Agnes Scott mother...
1381
01:36:27,787 --> 01:36:30,381
you're liable to "gee whiz" yourself
right out of this deal.
1382
01:36:35,561 --> 01:36:37,461
What are you two trying to put over?
1383
01:36:41,401 --> 01:36:43,460
- His name's Jeff.
- And smart.
1384
01:36:43,569 --> 01:36:46,697
Boy. Gosh, I'm so glad
you're crazy about him.
1385
01:36:56,749 --> 01:36:59,946
- Aye, a bonny boat.
- Aye.
1386
01:37:00,053 --> 01:37:02,954
When we return next summer,
you'll be big enough to handle heryourself.
1387
01:37:03,056 --> 01:37:05,115
- Aye.
- Hey, you're locking up my book.
1388
01:37:05,224 --> 01:37:08,387
All the books are packed and in the car.
1389
01:37:08,494 --> 01:37:10,826
A little paperback called
The Case of the Perfumed Mouse?
1390
01:37:10,930 --> 01:37:13,364
- I think so.
- Well, I hope so.
1391
01:37:13,466 --> 01:37:16,682
I can't spend the winter wondering whether
it was the blonde who murdered the redhead...
1392
01:37:16,702 --> 01:37:19,218
- or whether it was the fellow in the closet.
- Well, of course not.
1393
01:37:19,238 --> 01:37:21,138
Hey, where's Jeff?
We can't go without Jeff.
1394
01:37:21,240 --> 01:37:23,765
- Jeff's packed and in the car too.
- Oh, boy.
1395
01:37:25,311 --> 01:37:28,474
Aren't you wonderful?
You wear well, darling.
1396
01:37:35,922 --> 01:37:38,686
Yep, our quiet days are over.
1397
01:37:40,259 --> 01:37:42,921
As of right now.
1398
01:37:43,029 --> 01:37:46,226
- Hi, Mrs. Marshall.
- Hello, Lyle. Eddie.
1399
01:37:46,332 --> 01:37:48,972
Oh, I'm afraid you'll have to slide out
on this side, Dr. Marshall.
1400
01:37:49,035 --> 01:37:54,496
Peter John. Hiya, Doc. You sure look good.
1401
01:37:54,607 --> 01:37:56,632
What's the matter, Doctor?
1402
01:37:56,742 --> 01:37:59,302
Oh, it's nothing... nothing, I'm sure.
1403
01:37:59,412 --> 01:38:03,178
How are you boys? I've got to rush.
I'll see you after services.
1404
01:38:10,056 --> 01:38:12,081
- Good morning, Dr. Marshall.
- Good morning.
1405
01:38:13,893 --> 01:38:17,624
It isn't that I grew soft
and lazy on vacation.
1406
01:38:17,730 --> 01:38:20,096
It isn't that I've prepared no sermon.
1407
01:38:20,199 --> 01:38:23,259
It's that ministers are mortal...
1408
01:38:23,369 --> 01:38:25,929
and are subject to human weaknesses.
1409
01:38:26,038 --> 01:38:29,269
Suddenly, and for no reason
that I can think of...
1410
01:38:29,375 --> 01:38:31,536
I'm homesick.
1411
01:38:31,644 --> 01:38:34,374
I want to talk about Scotland-
1412
01:38:34,480 --> 01:38:38,849
that brave, that lovely little land...
1413
01:38:38,951 --> 01:38:40,851
who, when parting with a son...
1414
01:38:40,953 --> 01:38:42,887
keeps forever a piece ofhis heart.
1415
01:38:44,524 --> 01:38:47,220
No matter where a Scotsman goes...
1416
01:38:47,326 --> 01:38:49,385
how high he climbs...
1417
01:38:49,495 --> 01:38:52,055
or how low he burrows...
1418
01:38:52,165 --> 01:38:54,531
there are times...
1419
01:38:54,634 --> 01:38:56,829
as with me as I stand in this pulpit...
1420
01:38:56,936 --> 01:38:59,700
when the smell ofrain-soakedheather...
1421
01:38:59,805 --> 01:39:01,830
is so close in his nostrils-
1422
01:39:10,349 --> 01:39:13,182
I'll have to ask you to forgive me.
1423
01:39:14,520 --> 01:39:17,250
I know I'm acting very strange.
1424
01:39:17,356 --> 01:39:19,256
I'm feeling very strange.
1425
01:39:50,890 --> 01:39:54,223
I can tell you very little now,
Mrs. Marshall.
1426
01:39:54,327 --> 01:39:56,727
It might be a muscular spasm.
1427
01:39:56,829 --> 01:40:00,230
- It might be a coronarythrombosis.
- I don't know what that means.
1428
01:40:00,333 --> 01:40:02,324
It means that it could be very serious.
1429
01:40:02,435 --> 01:40:04,630
Very serious indeed.
1430
01:40:04,737 --> 01:40:08,264
- I'll call you this evening.
- Thank you, Doctor.
1431
01:40:08,374 --> 01:40:10,535
Excuse me. Okay.
1432
01:40:10,643 --> 01:40:13,874
Why can't I see Daddy?
1433
01:40:15,114 --> 01:40:17,582
Come, Catherine. I'll driveyou home.
1434
01:40:17,683 --> 01:40:19,583
Come, Peter John.
1435
01:40:27,159 --> 01:40:30,185
When we came home, Peter John and I prayed.
1436
01:40:30,296 --> 01:40:32,764
Peter John's prayer was simple.
1437
01:40:32,865 --> 01:40:37,029
All he asked was,
"Please don't let my daddy die."
1438
01:40:37,136 --> 01:40:40,572
I asked that God would
take away my icy fear.
1439
01:40:42,008 --> 01:40:44,602
The doctor's call told us the worst.
1440
01:40:44,710 --> 01:40:46,769
It was a thrombosis.
1441
01:40:46,879 --> 01:40:49,575
Peter had less than a fighting chance.
1442
01:40:49,682 --> 01:40:52,412
As word ofPeter's
critical condition spread...
1443
01:40:52,518 --> 01:40:55,851
a fountain ofprayer
rose to the very heavens.
1444
01:40:55,955 --> 01:40:58,219
Letters and telegrams
arrived by the hundreds...
1445
01:40:58,324 --> 01:41:00,315
all with the same message-
1446
01:41:00,426 --> 01:41:02,326
"Praying for Peter."
1447
01:41:02,428 --> 01:41:05,329
A few days later, the crisis passed.
1448
01:41:05,431 --> 01:41:08,594
Here we are at the end of the thi rd i
nning of this nip and tuck ball game...
1449
01:41:08,701 --> 01:41:10,601
with a score of Senators three,
Cleveland two.
1450
01:41:10,703 --> 01:41:13,399
This is gonna be a big year for us.
1451
01:41:13,506 --> 01:41:16,475
I'd preferyou took no
rooting interest, Dr. Marshall.
1452
01:41:16,575 --> 01:41:18,941
In fact, I could make it an order.
1453
01:41:19,045 --> 01:41:22,037
So you could. But why?
1454
01:41:22,148 --> 01:41:25,777
Dr. Marshall, if you were an ignorant man,
I might try to deceiveyou.
1455
01:41:25,885 --> 01:41:29,480
But since that isn't the case,
I'm going to be frank.
1456
01:41:29,588 --> 01:41:32,318
You came very close to not pulling through.
1457
01:41:32,425 --> 01:41:35,826
Oh, I know that.
But don't hand yourselfany bouquets.
1458
01:41:35,928 --> 01:41:37,987
You had nothing to do with it.
1459
01:41:38,097 --> 01:41:40,463
God just didn't happen to want me.
1460
01:41:54,413 --> 01:41:58,440
Catherine, will you please resume walking
like a normal woman?
1461
01:42:00,252 --> 01:42:02,618
I'm simply following
the doctor's instruction.
1462
01:42:02,722 --> 01:42:04,849
Does he give ballet lessons on the side?
1463
01:42:04,957 --> 01:42:08,415
Oh, Peter, this is nothing tojoke about.
1464
01:42:08,527 --> 01:42:11,894
He only let you come home a week early
on certain conditions.
1465
01:42:11,997 --> 01:42:14,557
No noise, no excitement...
1466
01:42:14,667 --> 01:42:17,067
no walking up and down the stairs.
1467
01:42:17,169 --> 01:42:19,194
And you just can't be trusted.
1468
01:42:19,305 --> 01:42:21,205
I can't?
1469
01:42:21,307 --> 01:42:24,538
I left the house for an houryesterday-
one hour-
1470
01:42:24,643 --> 01:42:26,543
and you washed the dog.
1471
01:42:26,645 --> 01:42:31,048
Now, see how you exaggerate. Peter John
washed the dog. I-I merely looked on.
1472
01:42:31,150 --> 01:42:34,881
The dog was washed in the basement. You
walked downstairs and you walked up again.
1473
01:42:34,987 --> 01:42:37,820
- And you called Miss Crilley.
- Well, that's only because...
1474
01:42:37,923 --> 01:42:40,585
you've embroiled the poor girl
in a conspiracy.
1475
01:42:40,693 --> 01:42:45,528
She only gives me
half my messages, half my mail.
1476
01:42:47,833 --> 01:42:51,894
Hello. Oh, hello, Senator Harvey.
1477
01:42:52,004 --> 01:42:53,904
You're returning Peter's call?
1478
01:42:55,040 --> 01:42:57,031
About a little bridge game this evening.
1479
01:42:58,277 --> 01:43:00,245
Mmm, just the three ofus.
1480
01:43:00,346 --> 01:43:03,281
You tell him to be around at 7:00
and to be on his toes.
1481
01:43:06,652 --> 01:43:08,552
About 7:00, Senator Harvey.
1482
01:43:22,435 --> 01:43:25,802
This is going to be my first sermon
when I return to my pulpit.
1483
01:43:25,905 --> 01:43:28,339
Peter.
1484
01:43:28,441 --> 01:43:32,775
You knowyou can't go back
for at least a year, maybe longer.
1485
01:43:32,878 --> 01:43:36,109
I'm going back next week.
1486
01:43:36,215 --> 01:43:38,342
When God spared me, patched up my heart...
1487
01:43:38,451 --> 01:43:40,976
he meant that he still had something
for me to do on this side.
1488
01:43:41,086 --> 01:43:45,523
Peter, sometimes I think
you want to leave us.
1489
01:43:45,624 --> 01:43:48,388
Don't be silly, Catherine.
I'll never leaveyou. Believe that.
1490
01:43:48,494 --> 01:43:50,394
And take the properview.
1491
01:43:50,496 --> 01:43:53,363
Years ago in the fog
I gave myself and everything I had...
1492
01:43:53,466 --> 01:43:55,491
or ever would have, to the Lord.
1493
01:43:55,601 --> 01:43:57,501
And not in half measure.
1494
01:44:03,309 --> 01:44:05,334
My text is taken...
1495
01:44:05,444 --> 01:44:07,469
from the first book of Kings...
1496
01:44:07,580 --> 01:44:10,981
chapter 18 and verse 21.
1497
01:44:11,083 --> 01:44:15,076
If the Lord be God, then follow him:
1498
01:44:15,187 --> 01:44:18,714
but if Baal, then follow him.
1499
01:44:21,060 --> 01:44:23,688
The leaders of ancient Israel...
1500
01:44:23,796 --> 01:44:26,458
including the king, had come together
to make a great decision.
1501
01:44:26,565 --> 01:44:28,795
It was a national emergency.
1502
01:44:28,901 --> 01:44:32,064
Elijah the prophet had summoned them
to meet on Mount Carmel...
1503
01:44:32,171 --> 01:44:36,107
to settle no less a question than
whom they should worship.
1504
01:44:36,208 --> 01:44:40,702
William Penn has said that men
must be governed by God...
1505
01:44:40,813 --> 01:44:44,510
or they will be ruled by tyrants.
1506
01:44:44,617 --> 01:44:47,108
Here then was a Hebrew prophet...
1507
01:44:47,219 --> 01:44:50,620
facing the very same issue
and making his people face it with him.
1508
01:44:50,723 --> 01:44:52,953
They all knew
the history of their nation...
1509
01:44:53,058 --> 01:44:55,891
how God had led
their fathers out ofbondage...
1510
01:44:55,995 --> 01:44:58,486
into a new land as pioneers...
1511
01:44:58,597 --> 01:45:02,533
how his holy law had been written
into the nation's constitution...
1512
01:45:02,635 --> 01:45:06,537
how the Ten Commandments
had become for them a bill of rights...
1513
01:45:06,639 --> 01:45:09,107
and a declaration of dependence.
1514
01:45:09,208 --> 01:45:12,507
Butsomething in the nation's life
had begun to fade.
1515
01:45:12,611 --> 01:45:14,602
Moral decay hadset in.
1516
01:45:14,713 --> 01:45:17,045
They had begun to love things
more than principles.
1517
01:45:17,149 --> 01:45:20,550
They had become materialists.
And materialism had a god...
1518
01:45:20,653 --> 01:45:22,712
a god of the flesh...
1519
01:45:22,821 --> 01:45:25,016
and his name was Baal.
1520
01:45:26,292 --> 01:45:28,226
Now, El ijah saw the danger.
1521
01:45:28,327 --> 01:45:31,785
He saw what would happen to the nation
when its moral fiber was weakened.
1522
01:45:31,897 --> 01:45:35,765
So, he summoned the 450 prophets of Baal...
1523
01:45:35,868 --> 01:45:38,336
the king and the nation's leaders.
1524
01:45:38,437 --> 01:45:40,701
It had to be either-or.
1525
01:45:40,806 --> 01:45:43,240
They had to get on one side or the other.
1526
01:45:43,342 --> 01:45:47,108
You remember the dramatic test,
the trial by fire...
1527
01:45:47,212 --> 01:45:50,841
how, on the parched,
sunbaked slopes of Carmel...
1528
01:45:50,950 --> 01:45:53,851
Elijah announced his proposed test.
1529
01:45:53,953 --> 01:45:56,751
Let sacrifices be laid upon the altar.
1530
01:45:56,855 --> 01:46:01,155
Let him be God who would send down fire
and consume the offerings.
1531
01:46:01,260 --> 01:46:04,229
And let Baal and his priests
have the first inning.
1532
01:46:05,531 --> 01:46:07,897
Then began the weird, pagan performance...
1533
01:46:08,000 --> 01:46:10,901
with Elijah jibing at them
with pointed sarcasm...
1534
01:46:11,003 --> 01:46:15,770
"Cry louder, why don't you? Cry louder.
He is a god you are crying to, isn't he?
1535
01:46:15,874 --> 01:46:18,604
"Perhaps he's gone for a walk.
Per adventure he's asleep.
1536
01:46:18,711 --> 01:46:20,611
Cry louder. Wake him up."
1537
01:46:20,713 --> 01:46:24,672
All day long he taunted at them
until hoarse with their shouting...
1538
01:46:24,783 --> 01:46:28,480
wearied with their paganistic dancing,
they were exhausted.
1539
01:46:28,587 --> 01:46:32,751
Yet no voice spoke. No voice answered.
1540
01:46:32,858 --> 01:46:37,522
Then Elijah went over
to an abandoned Jehovah altar...
1541
01:46:37,630 --> 01:46:39,530
set upon it a sacrifice...
1542
01:46:39,632 --> 01:46:41,566
and offered his prayer to Jehovah...
1543
01:46:41,667 --> 01:46:44,500
not ranting or foaming or shouting.
1544
01:46:44,603 --> 01:46:48,300
And the answer came in fire
which consumed the offering.
1545
01:46:48,407 --> 01:46:52,104
Then the people looking on cried
as they fell on their faces...
1546
01:46:52,211 --> 01:46:56,147
"The Lord-He is God. The Lord-He is God."
1547
01:46:59,284 --> 01:47:02,742
Now, I suggest to you...
1548
01:47:02,855 --> 01:47:06,154
that America needs a prophet today...
1549
01:47:06,258 --> 01:47:10,024
a prophet who will set before the nation...
1550
01:47:10,129 --> 01:47:12,029
the essential choices.
1551
01:47:12,131 --> 01:47:16,295
I n the words of that great poet
and essayist, J. B. Holland...
1552
01:47:16,402 --> 01:47:18,370
"God, give us men!
1553
01:47:18,470 --> 01:47:20,597
"Men whom the lust
of office does not kill...
1554
01:47:20,706 --> 01:47:23,140
"men whom the spoils
of office cannot buy...
1555
01:47:23,242 --> 01:47:26,336
"men who possess opinions anda will...
1556
01:47:26,445 --> 01:47:29,039
"men who have honor;
men who will not lie...
1557
01:47:29,148 --> 01:47:31,639
"men who can stand before a demagogue...
1558
01:47:31,750 --> 01:47:34,344
"and damn his treacherous flatteries
without winking!
1559
01:47:34,453 --> 01:47:37,911
"Tall men, sun-crowned,
who live above the fog...
1560
01:47:38,023 --> 01:47:40,821
in public duty, and in private thinking."
1561
01:47:40,926 --> 01:47:43,759
Millions of people in America...
1562
01:47:43,862 --> 01:47:46,353
live in moral fogs.
1563
01:47:46,465 --> 01:47:50,265
They move in a sort of spiritual twilight.
1564
01:47:50,369 --> 01:47:52,929
Modified immorality, modified dishonesty...
1565
01:47:53,038 --> 01:47:55,199
is the practice of millions more.
1566
01:47:55,307 --> 01:47:58,401
Surely the time has come for us
to be honest about it.
1567
01:47:58,510 --> 01:48:01,536
Ifwe have thrown away
our national heritage...
1568
01:48:01,647 --> 01:48:05,845
ifwe no longer believe
that this nation was founded under God...
1569
01:48:05,951 --> 01:48:09,352
if, contrary to what
is stamped upon our coins...
1570
01:48:09,455 --> 01:48:13,619
our trust is not in God but in Baal,
let us say so.
1571
01:48:13,726 --> 01:48:16,627
Let us, at least, not be hypocrites.
1572
01:48:16,729 --> 01:48:21,223
Yes, like the ancient Hebrew nation...
1573
01:48:21,333 --> 01:48:24,427
America needs a prophet like an Elijah...
1574
01:48:24,536 --> 01:48:28,472
a prophet who will have the ear of America
and who will say to her now...
1575
01:48:28,574 --> 01:48:33,034
"If the Lord be God, then follow him.
1576
01:48:33,145 --> 01:48:38,378
But if Baal, then follow him
and go to hell."
1577
01:48:40,519 --> 01:48:42,453
Let us pray.
1578
01:48:48,026 --> 01:48:50,324
- Good morning, Dr. Marshall.
- Good morning, Miss Fowler.
1579
01:48:50,429 --> 01:48:54,798
- You seem quite natural.
- I'm afraid so.
1580
01:48:54,900 --> 01:48:57,630
A little memento of your return.
1581
01:48:57,736 --> 01:49:00,136
Why, Miss Fowler. May I open it?
1582
01:49:00,239 --> 01:49:03,037
Oh, nothing really. Just a little button...
1583
01:49:03,142 --> 01:49:06,805
that I clipped from an old jacket that I
thought perhaps you might enjoy having.
1584
01:49:06,912 --> 01:49:08,812
Why, I'm overjoyed, Miss Fowler.
1585
01:49:08,914 --> 01:49:11,348
Uh, did it come
from someone in your family?
1586
01:49:11,450 --> 01:49:13,418
A family friend.
1587
01:49:13,519 --> 01:49:18,650
A Scottish immigrant.
His name was Jones-John Paul Jones.
1588
01:49:18,757 --> 01:49:21,692
Why, Miss Fowler, thank you so much.
1589
01:49:21,794 --> 01:49:23,694
I can't tell you what this means to me.
1590
01:49:30,469 --> 01:49:33,632
That was just her way of telling you
that everything is all right.
1591
01:49:33,739 --> 01:49:38,108
And everything is. Good evening.
I mean, good morning, Dr. Marshall.
1592
01:49:44,850 --> 01:49:47,819
Against all my betterjudgment,
may I present Senators Wiley and Prescott?
1593
01:49:47,920 --> 01:49:49,820
- How do you do?
- How do you do, gentlemen?
1594
01:49:49,922 --> 01:49:51,822
What do you mean
against your betterjudgment?
1595
01:49:51,924 --> 01:49:54,688
- One of my best friends is a senator.
- Well, that's encouraging.
1596
01:49:54,793 --> 01:49:58,160
Doctor, we have a-for want
of a better word-a proposition.
1597
01:49:58,263 --> 01:50:00,493
Uh, when would it be convenient
for you to talk it over?
1598
01:50:00,599 --> 01:50:03,693
- It's rather urgent.
- It is? Am I being investigated?
1599
01:50:03,802 --> 01:50:06,100
Your head should be if you agree to listen.
1600
01:50:06,205 --> 01:50:11,006
Well, now I am curious. While I'm changing,
why don't you go round to my study?
1601
01:50:11,109 --> 01:50:14,510
Not without Catherine. Catherine?
1602
01:50:14,613 --> 01:50:16,513
Peter John, you gowait in the car.
1603
01:50:16,615 --> 01:50:18,583
I need her support.
1604
01:50:22,221 --> 01:50:24,917
Peter Marshall, Chaplain
of the United States Senate?
1605
01:50:25,023 --> 01:50:27,423
I- I-I couldn't be more highly honored...
1606
01:50:27,526 --> 01:50:30,461
or more taken by surprise.
1607
01:50:30,562 --> 01:50:32,553
And that this should happen today...
1608
01:50:32,664 --> 01:50:35,497
the 1 Oth anniversary of my becoming
an American citizen.
1609
01:50:35,601 --> 01:50:38,900
Peter, you can't consider it.
1610
01:50:39,004 --> 01:50:41,165
Peter, I oweyou a great debt...
1611
01:50:41,273 --> 01:50:44,470
and I mean to repay that debt
by keeping you from doing this.
1612
01:50:45,944 --> 01:50:49,038
I'm afraid we didn't realize the situation.
1613
01:50:49,147 --> 01:50:52,742
If the added duties of the chaplaincy
would imperil Dr. Marshall's health...
1614
01:50:52,851 --> 01:50:55,376
we'll merely express our deep regret...
1615
01:50:55,487 --> 01:50:58,513
and to our colleagues tomorrow,
our deep disappointment.
1616
01:50:58,624 --> 01:51:02,560
Naturally. Much as we've wanted this, I-
1617
01:51:12,437 --> 01:51:16,134
- Thank you, darling.
- I'll be waiting in the car with Peter John.
1618
01:51:48,240 --> 01:51:50,572
The Senatewill be in order.
1619
01:51:50,676 --> 01:51:53,804
Our new chaplain, Dr. Peter Marshall...
1620
01:51:53,912 --> 01:51:55,880
will offer the prayer.
1621
01:52:03,522 --> 01:52:05,547
Our Father in heaven...
1622
01:52:05,657 --> 01:52:10,720
we pray for the members of this body
and their several responsibilities.
1623
01:52:10,829 --> 01:52:13,024
Make them see, dear Lord...
1624
01:52:13,131 --> 01:52:16,100
that you are not the god
of any one party...
1625
01:52:16,201 --> 01:52:19,932
of any one nation or of any one race.
1626
01:52:20,038 --> 01:52:25,442
Teach us that freedom may be seen,
not as the right to do as we please...
1627
01:52:25,544 --> 01:52:28,035
but as the opportunity to do what is right.
1628
01:52:28,146 --> 01:52:30,774
Give us the courage
to stand for something...
1629
01:52:30,882 --> 01:52:32,782
lest we fall for anything.
1630
01:52:32,884 --> 01:52:36,285
Save us from hot heads
that would lead us to act foolishly...
1631
01:52:36,388 --> 01:52:39,846
and from cold feet
that would keep us from acting at all.
1632
01:52:39,958 --> 01:52:43,621
Create new warmth and love
between the members of the Senate...
1633
01:52:43,729 --> 01:52:47,790
so that they may go at their work,
not headfirst, but heart first.
1634
01:52:47,899 --> 01:52:52,529
Help us, our Father, to show other nations
an America to imitate...
1635
01:52:52,637 --> 01:52:55,731
an America that loves fair play,
honest dealing...
1636
01:52:55,841 --> 01:52:59,641
straight talk,
real freedom and faith in God.
1637
01:52:59,745 --> 01:53:02,111
Help us make this God's own country...
1638
01:53:02,214 --> 01:53:05,081
by living like God's own people.
1639
01:53:05,183 --> 01:53:07,079
Amen.
1640
01:53:11,156 --> 01:53:13,351
Catherine, I'm afraid
you'll have to ask the blessing.
1641
01:53:13,458 --> 01:53:16,859
The Lord knows I'm not grateful
for turkey hash, and I can't fool him.
1642
01:53:21,967 --> 01:53:24,492
# And for bonny #
1643
01:53:24,603 --> 01:53:28,767
# Annie Laurie #
1644
01:53:28,874 --> 01:53:32,776
# I'd lay #
1645
01:53:32,878 --> 01:53:35,403
# Me doon #
1646
01:53:35,514 --> 01:53:39,712
# And dee ##
1647
01:53:41,053 --> 01:53:43,351
- That was foryou, my love.
- Thank you.
1648
01:53:43,455 --> 01:53:45,980
And that concludes our concert
for this evening.
1649
01:53:46,091 --> 01:53:48,218
It's already 45 minutes
past Peter John's bedtime.
1650
01:53:48,326 --> 01:53:50,351
Gosh, Mom. Daddy's home tonight.
1651
01:53:50,462 --> 01:53:52,362
Daddy's had a long, hard day too.
1652
01:53:52,464 --> 01:53:55,592
You run upstairs and brush your teeth.
I'll be up in a minute.
1653
01:53:55,700 --> 01:53:57,600
- Uh, Jeff hasn't had his walk yet.
- Yeah!
1654
01:53:57,702 --> 01:54:00,170
- Don't you want Daddy and me to take Jeff for his walk?
- No.
1655
01:54:00,272 --> 01:54:02,365
- Oh, let's all go, the four of us.
- Oh, boy.
1656
01:54:02,474 --> 01:54:04,374
Hi, Jeff! Hi, Jeff!
1657
01:54:04,476 --> 01:54:06,637
Why, just once,
couldn't you go to bed early?
1658
01:54:06,745 --> 01:54:09,213
I will, darling, tomorrow night.
Not tonight.
1659
01:54:25,831 --> 01:54:28,425
How I love this place.
1660
01:54:28,533 --> 01:54:31,297
With all that isn't quite right about it,
think of all that is.
1661
01:54:34,573 --> 01:54:38,407
You can feel it beating,
the pulse of liberty for the world.
1662
01:54:41,379 --> 01:54:43,540
I'm so grateful to have been
a small part ofit.
1663
01:54:54,693 --> 01:54:57,992
Catherine, I'm in great pain.
1664
01:54:59,297 --> 01:55:01,197
Would you please call the doctor?
1665
01:55:12,577 --> 01:55:15,842
I'll call the ambulance.
I'll call from downstairs.
1666
01:55:19,551 --> 01:55:21,451
Sneaky fellow, isn't he?
1667
01:55:22,787 --> 01:55:24,948
I'll get dressed and come
to the hospital with you.
1668
01:55:25,056 --> 01:55:27,251
No, you cannot.
1669
01:55:27,359 --> 01:55:29,725
You-You can't leave our son.
1670
01:55:35,333 --> 01:55:37,233
See you, darling.
1671
01:55:37,335 --> 01:55:39,235
See you in the morning.
1672
01:56:10,769 --> 01:56:12,896
I'm all clean... brushed my teeth.
1673
01:56:16,441 --> 01:56:18,409
What's the matter, Mommy?
1674
01:56:37,462 --> 01:56:40,192
Peter Marshall's final prayer.
1675
01:56:42,934 --> 01:56:45,095
"Oh, God, open our eyes...
1676
01:56:45,203 --> 01:56:48,570
"and let us see
how simple a man's life can be.
1677
01:56:50,408 --> 01:56:54,174
Where we cannot convince"-
1678
01:56:54,279 --> 01:56:56,406
"let us be willing to persuade.
1679
01:56:59,050 --> 01:57:03,350
For small deeds done are better
than great deeds planned."
1680
01:57:04,956 --> 01:57:06,890
Amen.
1681
01:57:06,992 --> 01:57:10,393
With the summer,
Peter John and I went back to Cape Cod.
1682
01:57:10,495 --> 01:57:12,656
Mr. Briscoe had opened the house.
1683
01:57:12,764 --> 01:57:16,165
A friendly neighbor
had launched Peter John's boat.
1684
01:57:16,268 --> 01:57:19,567
Nothing seemed changed.
1685
01:57:19,671 --> 01:57:21,662
Come on, Jeff.
1686
01:57:21,773 --> 01:57:25,174
The shutters Peter had painted
were just as blue.
1687
01:57:25,277 --> 01:57:29,407
The little red roses he had planted
were bursting into bloom.
1688
01:57:29,514 --> 01:57:32,142
Nothing seemed changed.
1689
01:57:42,827 --> 01:57:46,263
No! Peter John, no!
1690
01:57:49,901 --> 01:57:52,301
Peter John, you can't take the boat out.
1691
01:57:52,404 --> 01:57:54,804
- Why?
- You're too little, darling.
1692
01:57:54,906 --> 01:57:57,704
- Daddy didn't think so.
- But Daddy isn't-
1693
01:57:57,809 --> 01:58:00,141
Why don't you come with me?
1694
01:58:00,245 --> 01:58:03,305
Don't you remember? - I can't. I get...
1695
01:58:03,415 --> 01:58:06,111
Please, Mom, just this once.
1696
01:58:06,217 --> 01:58:08,117
Please?
1697
01:58:48,460 --> 01:58:50,894
A bonny boat.
1698
01:58:50,995 --> 01:58:52,758
Aye.
1699
01:58:58,636 --> 01:59:01,002
See you, darling.
1700
01:59:01,106 --> 01:59:03,165
See you in the morning.
