00:02:30This is Fairview, an American town.
00:02:34Our town, perhaps your town.
00:02:37Neighborly and friendly to visitors.
00:02:40We've got so many things to offer.
00:02:42Comfort, health, freedom, fine school, fine churches.
00:02:52We think Fairview is one of the best towns in this part of the country.
00:02:57Good stores up to the minute.
00:03:00Real progressive businessmen.
00:03:02And plenty of civic spirit.
00:03:05Yes, we've got leadership.
00:03:07Take Ken Keeler, our leading lawyer.
00:03:12A good citizen, good churchman.
00:03:15The kind of fellow we look to when we're in trouble or have a community problem.
00:03:23Oh, hello Margie.
00:03:26Good morning, Ken.
00:03:27Say, what's this about sticking those patch-town kids into the Fairview school?
00:03:31That's true.
00:03:32I've just been talking to the state education department.
00:03:35But they can't do this to us.
00:03:36That's what you think.
00:03:37Look up the law.
00:03:38We're the nearest school.
00:03:40It'll ruin our school, Ken.
00:03:42It'll ruin Fairview.
00:03:43The town won't stand for it.
00:03:45Boy, are we going to have some hot meeting of the community council tonight.
00:03:49Good.
00:03:50Maybe we can stir up something.
00:03:52Doc Miles says that patch-town will be a menace to health.
00:03:55But I don't know whether we can make it stick.
00:03:57There are a lot of angles to this, Monty.
00:03:59I only see one.
00:04:00Stop it.
00:04:03The patch people have some rights.
00:04:05Sure, they've got a right to hit the road and get out of here.
00:04:08I'm going over to see Colonel Garnett right now and start pulling some wires.
00:04:12I'll see you, Ken.
00:04:13So long, Monty.
00:04:14So long.
00:04:16This looks like a real nice town.
00:04:18Let's stop here, Ma.
00:04:20Let's have a home.
00:04:21Don't you know we're pea pickers?
00:04:23We don't have a home.
00:04:24You stop that, Arlo.
00:04:26Pickers stop, Ma.
00:04:27Must be lovely people here.
00:04:32Hello, Bill.
00:04:33Oh, hi there, Ken.
00:04:35You know, this is getting to be quite a street.
00:04:37Yeah, this town is growing.
00:04:39That new road's sure healthy.
00:04:41You bet.
00:04:42What we're getting now are some people who want to spend some money.
00:05:08What's the matter, Pa?
00:05:10Some spark plugs, I think.
00:05:12What's in a spark plug?
00:05:14Go on, get it out of here.
00:05:16Get going.
00:05:17Keep on going.
00:05:20That's what I'm aiming to do, officer.
00:05:37Oh, these muggins are driving me cuckoo.
00:05:39Yeah, they're getting to be quite a problem.
00:05:41Yeah, you can say that again.
00:05:43Most of our trouble comes from migrant camps.
00:05:45Over in the slum area in Mill City,
00:05:47or in the patch right here in Fairview.
00:05:50You know, since they opened that factory,
00:05:52the migrants are coming into the patch.
00:05:54If they'd only keep on moving, it'd be okay.
00:05:57They'll want to settle down.
00:06:03See you at the meeting?
00:06:04Sure.
00:06:05Hey, listen.
00:06:06If you want that patch cleaned out, just let me know.
00:06:10Well, I don't know.
00:06:21Put your back into it, Ned.
00:06:36Son, get in there and hold that.
00:06:45Twist her around the other way.
00:06:47I ought to know how to set her on, Jack.
00:06:49Let me help you.
00:06:57Try it now.
00:07:01You got it real good.
00:07:04Oh, hello, Dad.
00:07:05Hello, Kenny.
00:07:07Having trouble?
00:07:09These tires don't last forever.
00:07:12We all have our troubles, I guess.
00:07:14My car's laid up entirely now.
00:07:16Is that so?
00:07:19Passing through?
00:07:21I guess so.
00:07:23I just wondered how you happened to break down here,
00:07:26a little off the usual track.
00:07:28Public street, ain't it?
00:07:31Oh, well, I didn't mean...
00:07:35Well, is there anything we can do to help?
00:07:38Not asking for help.
00:07:42Well, now, the car is a little warm.
00:07:46We could use a little water, mister.
00:07:48Water? We've got a million gallons of it.
00:07:50Yes, all you want.
00:07:51Kenny, help him.
00:07:53Nathaniel, get the bucket.
00:08:01Gee, that's a slow bucket.
00:08:04Come on.
00:08:09Mighty pretty place you got here, mister.
00:08:13Well, we kind of like it.
00:08:16We had a home once.
00:08:18Same color.
00:08:19But a little smaller, Ma, remember?
00:08:23We're mighty thankful to you, mister.
00:08:26Oh, but for?
00:08:28We haven't done anything.
00:08:31Ain't everybody so nice to strangers.
00:08:34We're supposed to treat everybody like ourselves.
00:08:40Well, I guess that's because people...
00:08:44You've treated us real kind, and we appreciate it.
00:08:49Oh, well, that's all right.
00:09:01Anytime you want water, we've got plenty of it.
00:09:04I suppose you've got lots of running water in your house, too.
00:09:07Sure, haven't you?
00:09:09Well, we don't have a house.
00:09:11We live in a tent mostly.
00:09:13A tent?
00:09:14Yeah.
00:09:15Gosh, I'd like that.
00:09:16Yeah, and sometimes we don't even have that.
00:09:19You mean sleep under the stars?
00:09:21Golly, I went camping with the Scouts last summer, and we slept out.
00:09:25Oh, that's great.
00:09:26Yeah, well, it's all right, but I hate to get rained on at night.
00:09:30Hey, can you play ball?
00:09:32I play a little.
00:09:33We got a team.
00:09:36The Redskins, and we need a shortstop.
00:09:39You want to play?
00:09:40I don't know.
00:09:41I couldn't.
00:09:42Why not?
00:09:44Well, we don't live here.
00:09:47Where do you live?
00:09:50Well, we don't live anywhere.
00:09:52We just travel around.
00:09:54Well, golly, tell your father you want to stay here.
00:09:57We've got a swell bunch of kids.
00:09:59I think I'd better go now.
00:10:01I've got an extra mitt you can use.
00:10:04Hey, the bucket.
00:10:11What's cooking?
00:10:12Meat pie?
00:10:15Do you want to start the coffee?
00:10:16Yeah.
00:10:17Water's already in.
00:10:19Stop it, Ken.
00:10:20You know what you say to the children.
00:10:25Anything new today, dear?
00:10:27Nothing except they're going to assign the Patch kids to the Fairview School.
00:10:32Town's up in arms about it.
00:10:34They're going to take it up at the meeting tonight.
00:10:36I hope the town doesn't do anything to hurt those poor people in the Patch.
00:10:40No.
00:10:41It's a question of protecting our own interests.
00:10:43How soon do we eat?
00:10:45In a few minutes.
00:10:46Kenny's around somewhere, and Malcolm will be home soon.
00:10:49I suppose Sally will get home eventually.
00:10:51Of course.
00:10:52This is her afternoon at the settlement house.
00:10:54She'll be home soon.
00:10:55For Pete's sake, I wish she'd get around to meals.
00:10:58She's always off on some project to save the world.
00:11:01She takes the world seriously.
00:11:03I hope the world appreciates it.
00:11:05Ken, you know that young church group of hers has a real concern about social problems.
00:11:09Maybe so, but these young people should learn to be practical.
00:11:12There's Malcolm and half her feeling for the rights of others.
00:11:16Malcolm's all right.
00:11:17He's just at that age when a young buck thinks he knows it all.
00:11:20He'll be more human as he gets older, I hope.
00:11:23Hello, everybody.
00:11:25Hi, honey.
00:11:26Dinner ready?
00:11:27Getting it ready now, dear.
00:11:28You look all tuckered out.
00:11:30What do you know about the community meeting tonight, dear?
00:11:32Oh, sure, Mom.
00:11:33I'm representing the youth group.
00:11:35We want to get Fairview to do something for the people of the patch.
00:11:39Did you know they're definitely going to put back town children into our school?
00:11:42Yeah, over my dead body.
00:11:46Oh, don't tell me the poor dear Fairview children are going to be exposed to any unrefined influence.
00:11:54Now, that's more foolish talk.
00:11:56You don't seem to know what this means.
00:11:58Overcrowding, dirt, impetigo, and lice.
00:12:01People are very upset about this.
00:12:04I suppose you mean people like Colonel Garner.
00:12:07I certainly do.
00:12:08You're always so concerned about what the right people think.
00:12:11But what's wrong with the right people?
00:12:13The so-called right people are usually wrong.
00:12:16Wrong and selfish and mean.
00:12:18And you know it.
00:12:20I don't like the attitude of some people any better than you do, Sally.
00:12:23All I ask is that you behave like a proper member of this community.
00:12:27Oh, no.
00:12:29Not that.
00:12:38I'm sorry, Jeff.
00:12:40You're a pretty good agent.
00:12:42You'd better get ready for dinner now.
00:12:44Okay, Mom.
00:12:51For the love of Mike, what goes on around here anyhow?
00:12:53Are you ready for dinner, Malcolm?
00:12:55What was that junkie that pulled away from the front of our house?
00:12:57Some people had a flat tire.
00:12:59Why do they have to pick our house?
00:13:01And what are people like that doing around here anyhow?
00:13:03I'm sure I don't know.
00:13:05That was embarrassing.
00:13:06Lolly Mitchell drove me home in a convertible and she said,
00:13:09Who's that, your uncle or something?
00:13:11And there was Kenny waving goodbye to him.
00:13:13I'd like to give him a kick in the pants.
00:13:16I'd like to give you one.
00:13:17Now, now, that's enough.
00:13:19Kenny! Sally!
00:13:21You sit down. Now bring dinner.
00:13:26You go along, honey.
00:13:27I've got to sit on the platform.
00:13:29Ken.
00:13:30Oh, hello, Mary.
00:13:31You know, I'm not going along with you on this patch business.
00:13:34And a lot of the other women of the church won't either.
00:13:37Well, I appreciate your viewpoint, Mary.
00:13:40But I've got the welfare of the town to think of.
00:13:43Hi there, Ken.
00:13:44Hello, Pete.
00:13:45How are you?
00:13:46Ken Keeler.
00:13:47Meet Dave Wiley.
00:13:48How are you?
00:13:49Good.
00:13:50How are you?
00:13:51Good.
00:13:52Hello, Pete.
00:13:53How are you?
00:13:54Ken Keeler.
00:13:55Meet Dave Wiley.
00:13:56You've heard me speak today.
00:13:57Oh, yes.
00:13:58Hi, Mr. Wiley.
00:13:59How do you do, Mr. Keeler?
00:14:00Dave's going to be with us here in Fairview for a while.
00:14:01Well, you'll find Fairview a pretty good place to live,
00:14:03Mr. Wiley.
00:14:04Just average American folks.
00:14:06Meaner and all get out.
00:14:07Of course, we think we're a little better than average.
00:14:10Dave's on a mission here, Ken.
00:14:12His territory's this whole corner of the state.
00:14:14Mission, eh?
00:14:15You're taking a poll or promoting a new brand of toothpaste?
00:14:17Oh, no.
00:14:18Nothing like that.
00:14:19I'm assigned to do a community job.
00:14:20Well, maybe you could give us some help.
00:14:21We've got a job to do right here.
00:14:23Say, are you the Harley my daughter's always talking about?
00:14:27Oh, of course.
00:14:28Sally Keeler.
00:14:29She's a great girl.
00:14:30Always on the side of the angels.
00:14:32Some of her ideas are beyond me.
00:14:34Look, we've got some people coming in.
00:14:36Why don't you both come over to the house after the meeting?
00:14:38Both of you.
00:14:39We'd be glad to.
00:14:40Oh, well, thanks.
00:14:42All right.
00:14:43Question addressed to Dr. Miles.
00:14:46Is Patchtown a menace to the health of Fairview?
00:14:50Of course it is.
00:14:52Garbage goes any old place.
00:14:54The sewage disposal is primitive.
00:14:57A family might come from 200 or 300 miles, bringing diphtheria or typhoid.
00:15:03And how about the Patch children coming into our school, Doctor?
00:15:07Well, naturally, these contagious diseases and infections could spread like wildfire.
00:15:14We know that these people in the Patch need help.
00:15:17Their presence is a real menace to this community.
00:15:26A mighty gain.
00:15:27The doctor has given us fair warning.
00:15:30I'm sorry for these people.
00:15:32But it's the children of Fairview we have to think of.
00:15:35I think we should pass this resolution.
00:15:39Mrs. Lyons.
00:15:41These children would badly overcrowd our school
00:15:44and increase the class load of every teacher at least 25%
00:15:48and seriously impair efficiency.
00:15:51All right.
00:15:52Thank you, Mrs. Lyons.
00:15:55Yes, Sally.
00:15:56Miss Keeler.
00:15:58Couldn't we hire more teachers?
00:16:00That would cost money and increase taxes.
00:16:06Besides, we don't have room.
00:16:08We'd have to build an addition.
00:16:10And I guess you all know what building costs.
00:16:15Yes.
00:16:21Just a moment, please.
00:16:22Miss Keeler has the floor.
00:16:29I represent the church youth group.
00:16:31You know as well as I do that half the kids in the Patch don't get to school.
00:16:36We feel they don't have a decent chance.
00:16:38We want to let them in our school, even if it does cost us something.
00:16:45I think it's terrible what we're doing.
00:16:47It's unfair and it's very unchristian.
00:16:53All right.
00:16:54We've had various views.
00:16:56Now there's a man here tonight I think we should hear from.
00:17:00A leading citizen of our town, Colonel Garnett.
00:17:08These are noble sentiments this young person just expressed.
00:17:14But I think we should take a more practical view.
00:17:18We've built up something fine here in Fairview.
00:17:21Something I'm sure we all want to keep.
00:17:24I have, shall we say, a vision.
00:17:28That ugly, blighted area we call the Patch.
00:17:32I see it gone.
00:17:34Erased.
00:17:36And in its place a lovely park.
00:17:39With beautiful trees and flowers and grass.
00:17:42Where mothers can bring their babies.
00:17:45Where the children of Fairview can play.
00:17:49What would Colonel Garnett do with the people of the Patch?
00:17:56Why, I'm sure they could find a better place.
00:18:01No, I think we should resist this plan to demoralize our school.
00:18:07Mr. Chairman, I call for a vote on this question.
00:18:11All right, I'll read the resolution.
00:18:15Resolved.
00:18:17That since it would be injurious to the best interest of this community
00:18:21to admit non-resident children to our school.
00:18:25And since there are certain aspects to this problem
00:18:27of a health and moral nature that we deplore,
00:18:31we instruct our attorney, Ken Keeler,
00:18:34to take all necessary steps to alleviate this threat to our welfare.
00:18:38Mr. Chairman, I'd like to amend the resolution
00:18:42to instruct Mr. Keeler to investigate the entire situation thoroughly before acting.
00:18:47I accept it.
00:18:49Providing Ken reports back to us in two weeks with a specific plan.
00:18:54All right, all in favor, say aye.
00:18:56Aye.
00:18:58All opposed?
00:19:00No.
00:19:02The motion is carried.
00:19:04All right, folks, back again two weeks from tonight.
00:19:06The meeting is adjourned.
00:19:13Ken, you've got a job to do.
00:19:15And I think it should be done without delay.
00:19:18Get rid of the patch, period.
00:19:20What do you suggest, Monty?
00:19:22An atom bomb?
00:19:24I don't care what you use.
00:19:26Burn the shacks.
00:19:28Knock the whole place apart, but get it out of there.
00:19:30But after all, Monty, they're people.
00:19:32For me, they're pigs.
00:19:33Besides, the patch is a breeding spot for Communists.
00:19:36Oh, they're people, all right.
00:19:38They just don't live by the American standards.
00:19:41What do you call the American standard, Dad?
00:19:44Well, to live decently, to observe the ordinary laws of sanitation,
00:19:49and perhaps some self-respect.
00:19:51Anybody can do that who really wants to.
00:19:54I think you're right.
00:19:56If they didn't like it, they wouldn't live that way.
00:19:58What?
00:20:00Do you think they like being miserable?
00:20:01And sick and hungry?
00:20:04I came here as a boy from Germany.
00:20:07An immigrant.
00:20:09I had nothing.
00:20:11Just the clothes I wore.
00:20:13I worked hard.
00:20:15I saved my money.
00:20:17Now I've built up a little business and failure.
00:20:19But didn't you have the will to succeed, Matty?
00:20:21And a belief in yourself?
00:20:23You might even say a faith.
00:20:25Yes, that's the American dream.
00:20:27Anybody can build a decent life for himself
00:20:29who works hard and lives a decent life.
00:20:31God believes in himself and does the right thing.
00:20:35I came of a poor family, too.
00:20:37We struggled and worked for something better.
00:20:44And because you did all right,
00:20:46then everyone who doesn't is just no good, huh?
00:20:50I didn't say that.
00:20:52Mr. Keeler,
00:20:55this American dream that you speak of,
00:20:58the opportunity and the will to build a good life,
00:21:01do you think it's something that should be taken for granted?
00:21:04Don't you think, rather, that it's a cause, perhaps,
00:21:07for which we should strive and fight?
00:21:09Well, yes.
00:21:11The people in the patch aren't even trying.
00:21:13Oh, you're so blind.
00:21:15What do you know about them?
00:21:17You never see them.
00:21:19How long has it been since you even set foot in the patch?
00:21:23I dare you to go and look at it.
00:21:25Why don't you go and see for yourself?
00:21:27Now, Sally.
00:21:28Why, everyone that's a real success is an American to you.
00:21:32And everybody else is just nothing.
00:21:35Listen, America is a free country.
00:21:37Oh, I'm so sick of your speeches about America,
00:21:41how great it is and how free it is.
00:21:44What about the millions of people who are poor and hungry and sick?
00:21:49What do they know about your American dream?
00:21:52Nothing, and neither do you.
00:21:54What are you doing for them?
00:21:56What are any of you doing for them?
00:21:58Nothing.
00:22:00You sneer at them and you call them pigs.
00:22:04Oh, you think you're so superior, all of you.
00:22:07You go to church and you sing your hymns
00:22:10and you congratulate yourselves on being such wonderful Christians,
00:22:14such real Americans.
00:22:16Well, your dream is a fraud.
00:22:18It's hypocrisy.
00:22:20And so is your Christianity.
00:22:22Don't you see?
00:22:24You're just hypocrites.
00:22:26Well, really.
00:22:28They just can't stand the way you so-called Christians,
00:22:32you so-called Americans behave.
00:22:36Perhaps America isn't good enough for you.
00:22:39It certainly is not.
00:22:41Not your kind of America.
00:22:43Not nearly.
00:22:53Monty, I think we'd better go home.
00:22:56Come on, Matthew.
00:22:58Good night.
00:23:00Good night.
00:23:02Good night, Ken.
00:23:04Good night.
00:23:06Now, don't take this too seriously.
00:23:09By the way, I may need a little help from you.
00:23:12You see, my job is to try to keep this American dream alive.
00:23:27TEN YEARS LATER
00:23:39Well, here she is.
00:23:41Ain't much of a house.
00:23:43I think it's a nice house.
00:23:45I think it's a real nice house, too.
00:23:47You do?
00:23:49Yeah.
00:23:50Well, you're welcome to it for a time anyhow.
00:23:52Can't say for how long.
00:23:53She's got a pretty fair roof on her, but the timber's no good.
00:23:56You're moving in at your own risk, you know.
00:23:58Yes, that's all right.
00:24:00The kids from my church had a spook party up here last week.
00:24:03I don't know how anybody would want to live in it.
00:24:06I really should tear it down.
00:24:08Sir, how much would a house like this cost
00:24:11with a little piece of land?
00:24:13Ain't for sale.
00:24:15I'd make myself mighty unpopular if I sold it to you folks.
00:24:17The town of Fairview don't want no more people
00:24:20buying into the patch.
00:24:21Oh.
00:24:23Well, I guess I'll be going on.
00:24:26If you come up to my place for anything and sing out,
00:24:29my dog don't like strangers.
00:24:32Bye.
00:24:33Bye.
00:24:34Bye.
00:24:35Bye.
00:24:36It does look nice, don't it, Arla?
00:24:38Pa, bring in the truck.
00:24:41The truck?
00:24:44You mean you want me to unpack the trailer
00:24:47and take out the truck?
00:24:49Yes.
00:24:51We might only be here a few days.
00:24:54Bring in that truck.
00:24:56I want to unpack every last thing we've got in it.
00:24:59What for, Ma?
00:25:01We're going to make the most of this house while we've got it.
00:25:03What are you planning?
00:25:05We're going to live like folks should while we can.
00:25:08We're going to lift up our heads.
00:25:12We might even go to church.
00:25:22I'm sorry.
00:25:40Hello, grandpa.
00:25:41Hi, grandma.
00:25:49Oh, thank you.
00:25:51How are you? How's your mother?
00:26:05Gee, Ma, look at all the pretty ladies!
00:26:15There's Kitty, Pa!
00:26:16Hey, Kitty!
00:26:18What?
00:26:22Good morning, Ken.
00:26:23Hi, Monty.
00:26:24Alice.
00:26:25Good morning, Monty.
00:26:26Well, Sally, I am glad to see you.
00:26:28I was afraid you'd given us up as a bad luck.
00:26:31Oh, I'm sure she didn't mean it that way.
00:26:34Hello there, Kenny.
00:26:35How's that baseball team?
00:26:37Oh, it's getting better.
00:26:38Oh, that's good.
00:26:51Ma, do you really think we ought to go?
00:27:07It's a church, Arla.
00:27:09Everybody's welcome.
00:27:21Hello, Gladys.
00:27:41Good morning, Irma.
00:27:42How are you?
00:27:43Good morning.
00:27:44How are you?
00:27:45Would you like to sit with us?
00:27:46No, thank you, dear.
00:27:48Good morning, folks.
00:27:49Just in time.
00:27:50I think the service is about to start.
00:27:56Come on, Pa, let's go in.
00:28:17Ain't we going in, Ma?
00:28:37I don't know.
00:28:39We'd better go home, Ma.
00:28:42I guess all the seats are took.
00:28:45Ain't that music pretty?
00:28:50Come on, Ma, let's go home.
00:28:54Well, if we ain't going in, we might as well go home.
00:28:57You are hypocrites.
00:28:59Un-Christian toward the people of the patch.
00:29:03For I was in hunger, and ye gave me meat.
00:29:07I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink.
00:29:11What was it Monty said?
00:29:14I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink.
00:29:18What was it Monty said?
00:29:20I was thirsty, and ye gave me meat.
00:29:23What was it Monty said?
00:29:26Drive him out.
00:29:27Burn him out.
00:29:28Get him out of here.
00:29:30I was a stranger, and ye took me in.
00:29:34Naked, and ye clothed me.
00:29:38These are noble sentiments.
00:29:40But I think we should take a more practical view.
00:29:44I was sick, and ye visited me.
00:29:48In prison, and ye came unto me.
00:29:52But I've got the welfare of the town to think of.
00:29:55It's a question of protecting our own interests.
00:29:57Well, your dream is a fraud.
00:29:59And so is your Christianity.
00:30:01It's hypocrisy.
00:30:02Don't you see if you're just hypocrites?
00:30:05Why don't you go and see how those poor people live?
00:30:08Why don't you go and see?
00:30:12And so Ken Keeter went off on a mission.
00:30:15On a mission to the patch.
00:30:17Why?
00:30:18His legal duty?
00:30:20Maybe.
00:30:21Maybe.
00:30:22Conscientious fellow, Keeter.
00:30:24Hurt pride?
00:30:26Could be.
00:30:27He was only human after all.
00:30:30But it was also something else.
00:30:33Something planted deep within him long ago.
00:30:37By his parents.
00:30:39In his Sunday school.
00:30:42By his church.
00:30:44Ken was the kind of fellow who had to like himself.
00:30:48To be able to live with himself.
00:30:51You see, he wasn't only human.
00:30:55He was Christian.
00:30:58And so Ken Keeter went to the patch.
00:31:02Looking for a dream.
00:31:04The dream of freedom and decency that America had always stood for.

00:34:48♪♪♪
00:34:58♪♪♪
00:35:08♪♪♪
00:35:18♪♪♪
00:35:28The patch is only one manifestation of the national sickness.
00:35:31I'd like to show you the bigger picture.
00:35:33Well, I don't know.
00:35:35Aw, come on.
00:35:38All right.
00:35:40♪♪♪
00:35:50To see the picture, Ken, you've got to understand that America's on the move.
00:35:54Half its families have changed houses.
00:35:57Gone from the farms to the cities.
00:35:59Come north, gone south, shift to the west.
00:36:02Maybe 70 million of them chasing jobs, chasing rainbows.
00:36:07Many of them uprooted spiritually as well as physically.
00:36:11You mean people like those in the patch?
00:36:13People and families.
00:36:15♪♪♪♪
00:36:19This is bigger than the days of the pioneers when they pushed westward.
00:36:23Ever westward, searching for something better.
00:36:25Beyond the horizon.
00:36:27Now here it is again, the 20th century.
00:36:30And people moving, restless, searching, pressing toward the unknown.
00:36:35♪♪♪♪
00:37:03You know what's become of them?
00:37:06There are some of them.
00:37:11Look out there.
00:37:14Migrants?
00:37:15That's right.
00:37:17I understand they make pretty good pay.
00:37:19That is when the whole family works.
00:37:22Sometimes, but it adds up to a poor life.
00:37:26Wherever they go, they're strangers without voice or vote.
00:37:29Not really a part of the community.
00:37:32These people are stateless, Ken.
00:37:34They're displaced persons, and this isn't Poland or Germany.
00:37:38This is America.
00:37:40But I don't understand these kids working.
00:37:43They ought to be in school.
00:37:46Yes, they should, but they're migrants, strangers.
00:37:49They don't feel welcome in the local schools, and often they aren't.
00:37:55There are many other places in this country where the mainstream of life is rushed on,
00:37:59leaving eddies and pools in its wake.
00:38:01Why, there are rural areas in this country without a doctor, without a teacher, without a minister.
00:38:07Thousands of others with no library, no recreation places,
00:38:12almost nothing of what we regard as culture and consider essential to our lives.
00:38:17Yes, Ken, this too is American.
00:38:21What's happened to the America I knew?
00:38:24What's happened to the dream?
00:38:26The dream?
00:38:28The dream is dying, Ken, because we're losing that which gave it life.
00:38:33Dying not only in migrant camps and patch towns.
00:38:38Let me show you another kind of a slum.
00:38:40Come on.
00:38:43Look at this.
00:38:45Three months ago, this was a pasture, and I look at it.
00:38:48There must be a thousand homes there.
00:38:52Houses, not homes.
00:38:55These people have been spiritually abandoned for centuries.
00:38:58They've been forced to leave their homes.
00:39:01They've been forced to leave their homes.
00:39:04They've been forced to leave their homes.
00:39:07They've been forced to leave their homes.
00:39:10These people have been spiritually uprooted.
00:39:13Forty, fifty million people move into communities like this all over the country.
00:39:18Lovely houses, aren't they?
00:39:20Yeah.
00:39:22Do you see a church?
00:39:27No.
00:39:28You won't.
00:39:29This too is a patch town.
00:39:31The wound is there as long as the church is not.
00:39:34To many of these people, the American way of life is becoming a pagan way of life.
00:39:38They're losing the spiritual basis to the American dream.
00:39:43How do you mean?
00:39:46Where did your American dream come from?
00:39:49From the Christian belief that the individual has rights and freedom and dignity as a child of God.
00:39:56It is a solemn obligation of every Christian to make that dream come true.
00:40:01But how?
00:40:03How can we do that?
00:40:05Through the pioneer outreach of the church.
00:40:08The church is at the forefront of these new frontiers, bringing Christ where there is chaos,
00:40:14endeavoring to revitalize that dream.
00:40:16We call it Home Missions.
00:40:19I always thought that had something to do with Christmas baskets.
00:40:24No, it's a mission to America.
00:40:26We've got to change conditions, Ken.
00:40:29But to do that, we have to change people.
00:40:32Christ changes people, and through people can change communities and remake the world.
00:40:37Let me show you how we're trying to do this.
00:40:43We're attacking tremendous barriers, Ken, worse than the days of the pioneers.
00:40:48Barriers of suspicion, hate, and fear.
00:40:52Mountains of exploitation and injustice and prejudice.
00:40:56Tomorrow I'm going down to Campsville to try to mediate a strike.
00:41:00Down at Friendship House, where we're going, we have a project in race relations.
00:41:05We're trying to build a community out of a slum.
00:41:09♪♪♪
00:41:19♪♪♪
00:41:29♪♪♪
00:41:39♪♪♪
00:41:49♪♪♪
00:41:59♪♪♪
00:42:09No, Diane. Now try it this way.
00:42:12And let me show you.
00:42:14Why, it's Sally.
00:42:17Yes, she's the church.
00:42:20Wherever you find Christians bringing faith into the lives of others, there's the church.
00:42:25That's the miracle of it.
00:42:27♪♪♪
00:42:37Let me tell you of another miracle.
00:42:40In another place where there were a thousand houses without a church.
00:42:44That is, without a church building.
00:42:47You see, there were people who carried the seed of the church within them.
00:42:51First they gathered in barns to worship.
00:42:55Then went from door to door asking for help to build a church with their own hands.
00:43:00That seed within them would not be contained.
00:43:05It grew.
00:43:06Grew out of a barn.
00:43:08Grew into one of the most magnificent churches you've ever seen.
00:43:11That's what we call church extension.
00:43:14And it's a name that means a dynamic Christianity.
00:43:17Extending itself to meet the needs of our time.
00:43:20Christianity rising to meet its challenge.
00:43:25But unfortunately, such miracles are few.
00:43:28Most of the 70 million souls on the move in America have lost their church in transit.
00:43:33Lost their moorings.
00:43:35Lost the substance of the American dream.
00:44:04Ours is a mission to America, Ken,
00:44:07to try to change conditions like those in the patch.
00:44:10And to change people.
00:44:12But we have another mission.
00:44:14To change people who have forgotten their fellow man.
00:44:17Who have forgotten that the American dream must be lived by each of us if it is to endure.
00:44:24Well, I guess we're at your house.
00:44:27Oh, Harley, I'm sorry.
00:44:29Here, let me drive you home.
00:44:30Oh, no, that's all right.
00:44:31I've got a job to do in this neighborhood.
00:44:33Goodbye.
00:44:34I hope I've helped you find that dream.
00:44:36Goodbye.
00:44:41Thanks for putting up with me.
00:44:43I've got a job to do in this neighborhood.
00:44:45Goodbye.
00:44:46I hope I've helped you find that dream.
00:44:48Goodbye.
00:44:50Thanks for putting up with me.
00:45:07Come on, hurry up.
00:45:14Don't be afraid.
00:45:20Gee, what a keen bath.
00:45:23That's for me?
00:45:24Oh, no, you don't.
00:45:25That's for the church Indian school in Arizona.
00:45:27Oh, gee.
00:45:29They're very poor, Kenny, and they need our help.
00:45:31Nathaniel doesn't have a bath.
00:45:34Oh, this is Nathaniel.
00:45:36Nathaniel, meet my mother.
00:45:37Hello, Nathaniel.
00:45:39Hello.
00:45:40This is my sister, Sally.
00:45:42How do you do, Nathaniel?
00:45:43Hello.
00:45:44Here you go.
00:45:46How do you do, Nathaniel?
00:45:47Hello.
00:45:48Here, you give me that before you put your name on it.
00:45:51Hello.
00:45:52Hi, Dad.
00:45:53Hello, Dad.
00:45:54Hi, Kenny.
00:45:55Why, hello, Nathaniel.
00:45:58Hello.
00:46:00You boys been playing ball?
00:46:01Practicing.
00:46:02Hey, can I have a buck and a quarter for my allowance?
00:46:04We need a new bat.
00:46:06I guess so.
00:46:08How are you folks, Nathaniel?
00:46:10Did they find a place to stay?
00:46:11They're in that cabin back at Rita's place
00:46:13at the edge of the patch.
00:46:14Why, that place isn't fit.
00:46:17You've got a real nice house.
00:46:19Well, that's fine.
00:46:21And the roofs don't hardly leak at all.
00:46:24Doesn't Nathaniel say the most comical things sometimes?
00:46:28Why do you go to school, Nathaniel?
00:46:30I go to school.
00:46:31I go to school.
00:46:32I go to school.
00:46:33I go to school.
00:46:34I go to school.
00:46:35Why do you go to school, Nathaniel?
00:46:39Us kids don't get to school much.
00:46:41You go to Fairview School.
00:46:42That's where you're going.
00:46:44Oh, no.
00:46:45They don't want me in no school.
00:46:49But you're going to join my Sunday school class,
00:46:51aren't you, Nathaniel?
00:46:55Oh, no.
00:46:56No, I couldn't.
00:46:57Oh, I wish you would.
00:46:59You'd be very welcome.
00:47:06Come on, kids.
00:47:07We've got some milk and cookies in the kitchen.
00:47:10Oh, what?
00:47:11Come on, Nathaniel.
00:47:12Come and see us, Nathaniel.
00:47:14Come often.
00:47:15We're glad to have you, son.
00:47:17You run along.
00:47:18Get your cookies.
00:47:29What's that?
00:47:30Crips.
00:47:31Sure feels nice.
00:47:50Hi, Kenny.
00:47:51Hi, Kenny.
00:47:52Hi.
00:47:53This is Nathaniel.
00:47:54He's going to be on our team.
00:47:56Who says so?
00:48:01Why, Tom, we only got eight.
00:48:09What's your name, kid?
00:48:11Nathaniel.
00:48:12Nathaniel Ashby.
00:48:15Where do you live?
00:48:17He lives in the house.
00:48:18Where do you suppose?
00:48:19I live in the house.
00:48:20Yes, I do.
00:48:22Wise guy, huh?
00:48:23Oh, no.
00:48:24He's a nice guy.
00:48:25He's my friend.
00:48:26What'd you say his name was?
00:48:27Ashton?
00:48:28Ashton.
00:48:29Don't you call me that.
00:48:31Suppose he does.
00:48:32What do you do?
00:48:34That's not my name.
00:48:35My name's Nathaniel.
00:48:37Nathaniel.
00:48:38Nathaniel.
00:48:49You cut it out, Tommy.
00:48:50Can't you give a guy a chance?
00:48:52Well, OK.
00:48:53Nathaniel's a friend of mine.
00:48:54If he doesn't play on the team, I don't.
00:48:56So make up your mind.
00:48:58Hey, what's the fuss?
00:48:59You keep out of this, Malcolm.
00:49:01Who's this guy?
00:49:02Friend of Kenny's.
00:49:03Yeah, his name's Ashcan.
00:49:05Hey, you're that migrant, kid.
00:49:07Go on.
00:49:08Cut it out, Malcolm.
00:49:09I'm going to tell Dad.
00:49:10Beat it, you.
00:49:11And don't let me catch you around this house again.
00:49:14You big boy.
00:49:22Ashcan.
00:49:23Ashcan.
00:49:24Ashcan.
00:49:25Ashcan.
00:49:26Ashcan.
00:49:27Ashcan.
00:49:28Ashcan.
00:49:29Ashcan.
00:49:30Ashcan.
00:49:31Ashcan.
00:49:32Ashcan.
00:49:33Ashcan.
00:49:34Ashcan.
00:49:35What's the trouble?
00:49:36I don't know.
00:49:38What is it, Kenny?
00:49:40Dad, Nathaniel was here.
00:49:42And the kids, they were so mean to him.
00:49:45And they called him names.
00:49:47And then Malcolm came.
00:49:49And he chased Nathaniel away.
00:49:51Oh, I hate Malcolm.
00:49:52Where's Malcolm now?
00:49:54There he is.
00:49:55Hi, Mal.
00:49:56Hi, honey.
00:49:57Slide over.
00:49:58Malcolm?
00:49:59Yes, Dad?
00:50:01Come here.
00:50:03OK.
00:50:05Just a minute.
00:50:06I'll be back.
00:50:08Just a minute.
00:50:09I'll be back.
00:50:14Yes, Dad?
00:50:15Get in the house.
00:50:17But Dad, Margie's waiting for me.
00:50:19Get in that house.
00:50:30It was a mistake.
00:50:33The boy's welcome at our house.
00:50:35I told him so.
00:50:37He's a good boy.
00:50:39Of course he is.
00:50:41Oh, he knows it.
00:50:43We like Nathaniel.
00:50:45Kenny thinks the world of him.
00:50:47It's always so a shame.
00:50:49I wouldn't take it so hard, miss.
00:50:51Perhaps it was all for the best.
00:50:53I'd like to know how you figure that.
00:50:55We have to endure a lot of things in this world.
00:50:59We have to learn to face the hardships.
00:51:02I didn't know until Nathaniel told me
00:51:04that you were living in a place like this.
00:51:07We like it real well here.
00:51:09We only hope we can stay.
00:51:11You mean you want to stay here?
00:51:14It's the best home we've had and quite a spell.
00:51:17Folks would only leave us alone.
00:51:19What do you mean?
00:51:20Well, there's talk of folks coming down from Fairview
00:51:22to burn us out.
00:51:24Oh, I don't think anybody...
00:51:28Oh, I don't think anybody...
00:51:32Be just like him.
00:51:34You see, Mr. Keeler, we'd like to settle down
00:51:37and become one of the community.
00:51:39If Pop could only get a steady job.
00:51:43Oh, it's so rotten.
00:51:44It's so unfair.
00:51:46What are you talking about, miss?
00:51:48Oh, you folks needing so much
00:51:50and Fairview doing nothing about it or worse.
00:51:54It's this way all over America.
00:51:56Well, it must be.
00:51:58It almost makes me ashamed of being an American.
00:52:00Now, Sally, I won't let you talk like that, miss,
00:52:04about America.
00:52:06It's a wonderful country, and don't you forget it.
00:52:09America is where a body counts for something.
00:52:12Every one of us, no matter how humble.
00:52:17Let me tell you something.
00:52:21There have been times in wandering around the country
00:52:25when I've been a little discouraged.
00:52:27When our son, Ezra, died, things were pretty black.
00:52:31But a young man came from the church
00:52:34and ministered to us migrants.
00:52:37He told me that God cared.
00:52:41But I was to bear up, love my neighbor, and do my part.
00:52:50All this strength that came from God
00:52:55shows I could get love in my heart and go on.
00:53:01Oh, but we would have went to Iraq.
00:53:06I'm afraid you're a little discouraged just now.
00:53:10We all get that way.
00:53:13We must try a little harder, pray a little harder,
00:53:18and then we see things straight again.
00:53:21And we realize what a wonderful country this is.
00:53:26I don't suppose there's a country on Earth
00:53:30that doesn't have love.
00:53:33I don't suppose there's a country on Earth
00:53:36where there are so many good, kind, neighborly people
00:53:41who care about a body.
00:53:44We don't always see them, but they're there.
00:53:50I want to help.
00:53:52I want to give you a check.
00:53:55You can't take no check, Mr. Keeler.
00:53:58We have learned it.
00:54:01We're not taking charity, thank you.
00:54:04Oh, I didn't mean it like that.
00:54:06We're Americans, Mr. Keeler.
00:54:09We're not taking charity.
00:54:12We're Americans, Mr. Keeler.
00:54:15Oh, I didn't mean it like that.
00:54:17We're Americans, Mr. Keeler, Christians.
00:54:21We're going to stand on our own two feet.
00:54:31Oh, I'm sure you meant it kindly.
00:54:34I thank you anyhow.
00:54:36Oh, if there's anything we can do.
00:54:41Yes, there is something you can do, Mr. Keeler.
00:54:45Down here in the patch,
00:54:47folks feel pretty bad about Fairview people,
00:54:50think you're against us.
00:54:53We're holding services down here Sunday afternoon.
00:54:56If you could come down and worship with us,
00:54:59they'd get to know you
00:55:01and know there are good people in Fairview,
00:55:04Christian people.
00:55:07Oh, I doubt if I can.
00:55:25Now, friends, we're gathered together to worship Jesus.
00:55:29As other people gather in his name,
00:55:31all over the world,
00:55:33as other people gather in his name,
00:55:35all over the world,
00:55:37and have for 20 centuries.
00:55:39This is the fellowship of Christians
00:55:41in the worship of God.
00:55:45I'm very happy to be here with you.
00:55:48I hope you'll have services every Sunday.
00:55:52You're very welcome.
00:55:55And now we have a little surprise for you.
00:55:57Someone who doesn't live in the patch.
00:56:00Mr. Keeler,
00:56:02I believe these folks would like to have a word from you.
00:56:06Mr. Keeler belongs to a fine church in Fairview
00:56:09and has been good enough to come to worship
00:56:11in our church today.
00:56:13Do you have some message to bring us
00:56:15from your church, from your community?
00:56:32I didn't expect...
00:56:37What I mean is...
00:56:39I'm very glad to be here with you in your...
00:56:43at your service
00:56:45because, well, after all,
00:56:48we are neighbors.
00:56:51Neighbors.
00:57:02Neighbors.
00:57:33You know, we moved to Fairview
00:57:35because we were told it was exclusive.
00:57:37So?
00:57:38Well, let's keep it that way.
00:57:39Well, look what happened to the Wilcox girl.
00:57:41She went for a walk near the patch
00:57:43and those hoodlums chased her.
00:57:44We've got to get rid of the patch.
00:57:46This thing is getting worse all the time.
00:57:49I don't know.
00:57:50I don't know.
00:57:51I don't know.
00:57:52I don't know.
00:57:53I don't know.
00:57:54I don't know.
00:57:55I don't know.
00:57:56I don't know.
00:57:57I don't know.
00:57:58I don't know.
00:57:59I don't know.
00:58:00I don't know.
00:58:02Say, Reader.
00:58:03Well, hi, Chief.
00:58:04You got some folks living in that old cabin
00:58:06back by the woods?
00:58:07Why, yes.
00:58:08There's a family living back there.
00:58:09Just temporary.
00:58:10Why?
00:58:11I heard different.
00:58:12A fella by the name of Ashby.
00:58:14He was talking to Marty Feldman today
00:58:15about a job, a permanent job.
00:58:17Said he wouldn't mind staying.
00:58:19How do you like that?
00:58:20Well, you can't blame him for that.
00:58:23You wouldn't want to set yourself up
00:58:25against the will of this community,
00:58:26would you, Reader?
00:58:27Why?
00:58:28Why no.
00:58:30I got a suggestion to make to you.
00:58:32Take one of them apart.
00:58:42We're gathered here tonight
00:58:44to hear a report from our good friend,
00:58:46Ken Keeler.
00:58:48A report dealing with a menace
00:58:50that threatens all of us.
00:58:52I know that we have selected
00:58:54the right man to handle this.
00:58:56And I'm sure that he will come up
00:58:58with a solution that we'll all approve.
00:59:01My friend and yours,
00:59:03Ken Keeler.
00:59:11The patch is a menace.
00:59:13We have every reason to be afraid of it.
00:59:16Afraid of its dirt, its disease.
00:59:18Afraid its children will infect our children.
00:59:21Lower the standard of our school,
00:59:23our standard of living.
00:59:25But I think there's something
00:59:26we should fear much more than that.
00:59:29Something within ourselves.
00:59:31Our selfishness.
00:59:34Oh, I have it as much as any of you.
00:59:38The feeling that we are better
00:59:40than these less fortunate neighbors of ours.
00:59:43The fear that they may somehow take from us
00:59:46the things that we have.
00:59:48Our comforts.
00:59:49Our luxuries.
00:59:50What is this?
00:59:51Where is your report?
00:59:56I know what you expected of me.
00:59:58You wanted me to wall off the patch.
01:00:00Its people and all people like that.
01:00:03With the wall so high
01:00:05that we people of Fairview could feel safe.
01:00:09But you can't do that.
01:00:12I've come to see that we were wrong.
01:00:15Mr. Chairman,
01:00:17we sent Mr. Keeler on an errand.
01:00:20Sit down.
01:00:22Let Ken talk.
01:00:27Sit down.
01:00:33I told some of you a week ago
01:00:36that the people of the patch
01:00:37had forgotten the American dream.
01:00:39And in a way, I was right.
01:00:41Many of them have.
01:00:44But I tell you now
01:00:46that unless we help them find that dream again,
01:00:50with its promise of freedom,
01:00:52of dignity for all men,
01:00:55we're in great danger of losing it ourselves.
01:00:59I was afraid it was gone.
01:01:01And I started out to find it.
01:01:03And I found it in places you'd least expect.
01:01:06In the slums.
01:01:08In the heart of a migrant woman.
01:01:11In the eyes of a forlorn child.
01:01:14And what was it that was keeping it alive?
01:01:18It was the spirit of Christ
01:01:20working in the hearts of men
01:01:22through the outreach of the church.
01:01:26I thought I had faith.
01:01:28But I found a family in the patch
01:01:31that put my faith to shame.
01:01:41You sent me on a mission
01:01:43to thwart and destroy the patch
01:01:46and scatter its people,
01:01:48strangers within our gates.
01:01:51But these people aren't strangers.
01:01:54They're our neighbors, our brothers.
01:01:57Instead of building walls against them,
01:01:59we've got to enlarge the circle of Fairview
01:02:03and let them in.
01:02:05Now, I know that this involves much more
01:02:08than just making a decision.
01:02:10It means specific problems that have got to be solved.
01:02:13Problems of housing, of sanitation,
01:02:16and of health.
01:02:19I have here a plan of action
01:02:23which I submit to you.
01:02:26It involves sacrifices on our part.
01:02:30Work.
01:02:32But this is our Christian responsibility.
01:02:36We speak of the dangers of communism.
01:02:40Communism is a menace.
01:02:43But only because America is weakened
01:02:46by an even greater one.
01:02:49We've got to keep alive the American way of life.
01:02:53And we've got to make sure
01:02:56that it's the Christian way of life.
01:02:59Otherwise, in our folly,
01:03:02we may lose everything that we hold most dear.
01:03:12That's all I've got to say.
01:03:39Mr. Chairman, I move a vote of censure.
01:03:41Well, this is a fine place.
01:03:47The meeting is adjourned.
01:03:53Dad!
01:03:55Oh, Dad.
01:03:57I'm so proud of you.
01:04:02Say, you could have knocked me over with a feather.
01:04:05Whatever made him do that?
01:04:07You ask me, Ken gave us something to think about.
01:04:09A right from the shoulder, too.
01:04:11I didn't know the Ashby's were friends of Ken's.
01:04:14What made you put him out, Rita?
01:04:16I don't know.
01:04:18Isn't there some way we can help those poor people?
01:04:22Well, dear, do you think you've ruined yourself
01:04:24for good in Fairview?
01:04:26Well, I doubt it.
01:04:28I made them mad, but they'll get over it.
01:04:30The people of Fairview made of pretty solid stuff.
01:04:34After all, you found you were wrong
01:04:36when you admitted it, that's all.
01:04:38Yes.
01:04:40I was wrong.
01:04:42But a certain young lady had to practically
01:04:44stick pins in me to make me see it.
01:04:48I was wrong, too, Dad.
01:04:50You?
01:04:52Me.
01:04:54I lost my faith in people,
01:04:57in my church,
01:04:59and in my country.
01:05:02But I'm beginning to find it again now.
01:05:05You know,
01:05:07Ma Ashby showed me that
01:05:09I wasn't a Christian, really.
01:05:12I was so unloving.
01:05:14Even at the settlement.
01:05:16I hated the dirt, but
01:05:18I didn't really love the people.
01:05:21And that's all changed now?
01:05:25Dad, I'm beginning to see now.
01:05:29There's a big job to be done in America.
01:05:32But if Christ helped me,
01:05:35through Ma Ashby,
01:05:37why, why he can help others through us.
01:05:40If we help him do it.
01:05:43He can.
01:05:45Can't he, Dad?
01:06:01Ma, why did Mr. Reader make us leave?
01:06:04Because we're migrants.
01:06:06Don't you know that yet?
01:06:08I don't know why he told us we'd have to go.
01:06:12I don't think he really wanted to.
01:06:14Mr. Reader had a real nice horse.
01:06:17I patted its nose.
01:06:19It was so soft.
01:06:20Wasn't it, Nathaniel?
01:06:22I wish I could see Kenny again.
01:06:23That's what I wish.
01:06:25It was a nice house and we enjoyed it while we had it.
01:06:28We must be thankful to the Lord for giving us shelter
01:06:31and letting us know such lovely people.
01:06:39What does that sign say, Arla?
01:06:42You are leaving Fairview.
01:06:44A friendly town.
01:06:46Thank you, come again.
01:06:49Where are we going now, Ma?
01:06:52Why, I don't know, child.
01:06:54Maybe we'll find some place
01:06:56where we can build a better life for ourselves.
01:07:00We'll find something somewhere.
01:07:03I'm sure we will.
01:07:05We'll find something somewhere.
01:07:11The Lord is my shepherd.
01:07:13I shall not want.
01:07:15He maketh me to lie down in green pastures.
01:07:19He leadeth me beside the still waters.
01:07:23He restoreth my soul.
01:07:26He leadeth me in the path of righteousness
01:07:30by his namesake.
01:07:32Yea, though I walk
01:07:35in the valley of the shadow of death,
01:07:38I shall fear no evil,
01:07:40for thou art with me.
01:07:43I rise, and I stand.
01:07:46They come after me.
01:08:02The Lord is my shepherd.
01:08:04I shall not want.
01:08:06He leadeth me beside the still waters.
01:08:09He leadeth me in the path of righteousness
01:08:12by his namesake.
01:08:14Yea, though I walk
01:08:16in the valley of the shadow of death,
01:08:19I shall fear no evil,
01:08:21for thou art with me.
01:08:23I rise, and I stand.
01:08:25They come after me.
01:08:27I rise, and I stand.
