00:00You
01:00In a certain town, there lived a cobbler, Mount Nadige by name.
01:23He was a good cobbler, honest and fair with his prices, and so there was hardly a pair of boots in the village that he did not know by sight.
01:35Mr. and Mrs. Korska.
01:43Mr. Korska.
02:01Vladimir?
02:03Good day, Martin.
02:07Vladimir, it's you.
02:09You were expecting maybe St. Nicholas?
02:13No.
02:15But I expect you to kick the snow off your boots, please.
02:21And shut the door.
02:25Now, what can I do for you, Vladimir?
02:29Oh, not for me, my friend.
02:32For the village!
02:34I came to see if you wanted to help gather wood for the wood festival.
02:39And afterwards, we can show the young ones some of the old dances, like old times.
02:46Hey, friend, what do you say?
02:48I say no.
02:50No.
02:51I am too old.
02:52I will stay here and work.
02:54Too old?
02:57Come now, Martin.
03:00You are not as old as I myself.
03:03And I am but a pup in his prime.
03:06Vladimir, maybe you still feel young.
03:16I do not.
03:18Life has been good to you.
03:20For me, not being so good.
03:24I would like this old shoe you see here.
03:29Stitched and re-stitched, sold and re-sold.
03:34Now, there are very few miles left.
03:37Very few.
03:39What about the townspeople?
03:43The townspeople?
03:45Suit yourself, my friend.
03:50I will come by in a few days to see if you change your mind.
03:56I will not change my mind, Vladimir.
04:01Good day.
04:02Very well, Martin.
04:05Good day.
04:09And shut the door.
04:17Poor Martin.
04:18It seemed to him there was nothing left to live for.
04:23Oh, that was his work.
04:26But the work was becoming harder and harder.
04:31His hands had become unsteady and his eyes dimmed.
04:36As a young man, Martin lived for his family.
04:53While still an apprentice, his wife died.
04:58Leaving him with a baby boy to care for.
05:03The child was a joy to him.
05:05But as soon as he reached an age when he could help his father, he fell ill with a fever.
05:13And he, too, died.
05:18Martin gave way to despair.
05:21And in his sorrow, he blamed the Lord for taking his family away from him.
05:28He wished that he would die, too.
05:30He wished that he would die, too.
05:33And for a while, he wasiri, too.
05:34He wished that he would die.
05:35And he knew, too.
05:36He wished that he could die.
05:37He wished that he would die again and he would die.
05:38OK.
05:39I'm going to pass all this.
05:40So then you go to the house for the house.
05:41And you can see it.
05:43It's the only way.
05:44Do something.
05:45It's the only way.
05:46Hey!
06:06Shoo!
06:16Shoo!
06:46Oh, my God.
07:16For Martin, the days passed almost unnoticed, one after the other.
07:31He remained faithful only to his work.
07:46I'm coming.
08:03I'm coming.
08:06Holy man.
08:07Why have you come to see me?
08:09I was told I would find an expert cobbler on the other side of this door.
08:15And that you have, pilgrim.
08:17Come in.
08:18Come in.
08:22Now, what is it that you had in mind?
08:26New heels?
08:27New soles?
08:28I need a new binding for this ancient book of the Lord.
08:39I am greatly honored.
08:43But I'm afraid you have come to the wrong cobbler.
08:47God and I have not been getting on well.
08:51Take this precious book to someone more holy than I.
08:55Now, I am sure you will do fine.
08:59But tell me, what is this trouble between you and the Lord?
09:06I am without hope, holy man.
09:10All I ask of God is that I may soon die.
09:20Perhaps you are in despair, Martin.
09:23Because you live only for yourself.
09:27What else is there to live for?
09:30For God, Martin.
09:33He gives you life.
09:35You must live for him.
09:37Read the book.
09:43Perhaps it would help.
09:46I must leave now.
09:48For a long journey lies ahead of me.
09:52Take care, Martin.
09:55I'll be by next week for the book.
10:00Farewell.
10:00Good-bye, Pilgrim.
10:06And thank you.
10:07Good-bye, Pilgrim.
10:08Good-bye, Pilgrim.
10:09Good-bye, Pilgrim.
10:10Good-bye, Pilgrim.
10:11Good-bye, Pilgrim.
10:12Good-bye, Pilgrim.
10:13Good-bye, Pilgrim.
10:14Good-bye, Pilgrim.
10:15Good-bye, Pilgrim.
10:16Good-bye, Pilgrim.
10:17Good-bye, Pilgrim.
10:18Good-bye, Pilgrim.
10:19Good-bye, Pilgrim.
10:20Good-bye, Pilgrim.
10:21Good-bye, Pilgrim.
10:22Good-bye, Pilgrim.
10:23Good-bye, Pilgrim.
10:24Good-bye, Pilgrim.
10:25Good-bye, Pilgrim.
10:26Good-bye, Pilgrim.
10:27Good-bye, Pilgrim.
10:28Good-bye, Pilgrim.
10:29Oh.
10:30Oh.
10:31Oh my.
10:32Oh.
10:33Get away.
10:36Oh, oh.
10:39Oh, varmint.
10:44Oh.
10:45Oh.
10:46Oh, my shoe!
10:49Get away!
10:51Oh!
10:53Oh, varmint!
11:08The book lay open, and Martin felt himself drawn to the words.
11:13He read the story about a rich merchant who invited the Lord to be his guest,
11:23but neglected to show the Lord any signs of welcome.
11:31Oh, that merchant!
11:34What kind of man?
11:37Must be like me.
11:40He, too, only thought of himself.
11:42No care for his guest yet.
11:45Who was his guest?
11:49It is Lord himself.
11:52If he were to visit me, would I behave like that?
11:56No, if the Lord were my guest, I would give him all the signs of welcome.
12:05Martin?
12:05Martin?
12:06Martin?
12:07Martin?
12:07Martin?
12:07Who's there?
12:07Martin, look out into the street tomorrow, for I shall come.
12:11Martin, look out into the street tomorrow, for I shall come.
12:16Martin, look out into the street tomorrow, for I shall come.
12:20Martin, look out into the street tomorrow, for I shall come.
12:27Martin, look out into the street tomorrow, for I shall come.
12:33looking out into the street tomorrow, for I shall come.
14:54Oh, may God bless you.
14:57My bones do eggs for sure.
15:00Oh, such tea.
15:13It's very good.
15:14Here, let me pour you another cup.
15:17Oh, well, yes, I would like some more.
15:20Are you expecting someone?
15:34Am I expecting someone?
15:36No.
15:37Well, I'm ashamed to tell you.
15:41It isn't that I'm really expecting someone.
15:43It's just that I heard something last night that gave me the idea that the Lord was coming to visit me today.
15:52I can't get it out of my mind.
15:56So you keep looking out the window because you thought that I let me...
16:02Thank you, Martin.
16:17I mean, you have given me food for body and soul.
16:20You're very welcome.
16:22I'm glad to have a guest.
16:25Good day.
16:26Stepan?
16:27Please come again another time.
16:33Huh?
16:33Mr. Denevich, leaving so early?
16:49Oh, my.
17:13Oh, my.
17:14That poor woman.
17:19My dear, I say, my dear, come inside.
17:26You can wrap him better in a warm place.
17:30Come this way.
17:33Oh, don't bother with the snow, my dear.
17:35I'll wipe it up later, all in a day's work.
17:39Sit down by the stove, my dear, and warm yourself while I mind the baby.
17:45I have had children of my own.
17:47Oh, thank you.
17:50Oh, thank you.
17:51Oh, thank you.
17:55Oh, thank you.
18:00Oh, my dear.
18:02So, you haven't any warmer clothing?
18:20Oh, I had to pawn my shawl only this morning.
18:32Take this, my dear. It will keep you warm.
18:41Oh, my God.
18:44Oh, my God.
18:47Oh, my God.
18:51Oh, my God.
18:53Oh, my God.
18:55Oh, my God.
18:57Oh, my God.
18:59Oh, my God.
19:01Oh, my God bless you, friend.
19:04Surely, he must have sent you to your window,
19:08or else the child would have frozen.
19:13Yes.
19:15It was no mere chance that made me look out the window today.
19:24Goodbye.
19:26Goodbye.
19:31What's the matter, little fellow?
19:36Have I been too tidy with all the crumbs?
19:48Here you are.
19:51Oh, my God.
20:21Oh, my God, what are you doing?
20:42Oh, my God.
20:44Oh, my God.
20:46Oh, my God.
20:47Oh, my God.
20:48Oh, my God.
20:50Don't let me go.
20:51I didn't steal anything.
20:52Don't you lie to me, your uncle.
20:54Granny, Granny, let him go.
20:56Let him go.
20:57Why, he should be whipped with an inch of life.
21:00Oh, Granny.
21:02If he should be whipped for an apple, what should be done with us?
21:08Well, I suppose you're right, but they are getting terribly spoiled.
21:15Then we old ones must show them better ways.
21:22Here.
21:23Now.
21:24Tell the good woman you're sorry.
21:26I...
21:27I'm sorry.
21:28Hmm.
21:29Hmm.
21:30Well, I've got to be getting home.
21:34It's almost dark.
21:35Here, let me help.
21:36Oh!
21:37Don't be so sure of yourself, young man.
21:39I live all the way up past Master Learman's house.
21:42So do I.
21:43I have to go that way anyway.
21:44I'll show you where I'd like to play Uncle Frank.
21:47You mean my knees go bridge on edge of town?
21:51That's the one.
21:52Oh.
21:53Well, isn't that funny?
21:55I used to play there myself when I was young.
22:14He's only the lamp lighter, my little friend.
22:44Oh, dear.
23:14Let's go.
23:44I'm going to take a look at you.
23:56Margin?
24:02Margin, do you not know me?
24:07Who... who is it?
24:14It is I.
24:32It is I.
24:40It is I.
24:44What ever you do to one of these, no matter how small he be,
24:59whatever you do to your brothers and sisters, remember you do unto me.
25:12Whatever you do to your brothers and sisters, remember you do unto me.
25:25Vladimir?
25:35Vladimir!
25:37Wait!
25:39Oh, where's my hat?
25:41Oh, there it is. Thank you, my friend.
25:56Vladimir! Vladimir! Wait! I'm coming with you!
26:00Oh, well, Margin!
26:02What took you so long?
26:03I'm going with you to the festival together we can show these young people come and the old dances!
26:10With two pops, eh, Vladimir?
26:13Two pops in our prime!
26:15Oh, oh, oh!
26:20You stupid!
26:21You stupid! You stupid! You stupid! Uhhh!
26:33Hello, I'm once again, Jim LaSanti, Director of The Chris DeViz.
26:39I hope you've enjoyed Martin the Cobbler as much as we have.
26:41I hope you've enjoyed Martin the Cobbler as much as we have.
26:46The message, it seems, is so simple, and yet we need to hear it again and again.
26:50We're looking for things divine.
26:51We're looking for the things of God when the Lord is sometimes so close to us
26:55in that person standing nearby, in our family, our friends,
26:58and sometimes in total strangers if we only have eyes to see and ears to hear
27:02to recognize his presence in our lives.
27:05Let's all go looking for the Lord in our lives, in the every person.
27:09Thanks for being with us.
27:11This program has been brought to you by the Christophers, New York, New York, 10017.
27:37Better to light one candle than to curse the darkness.
27:41I don't act without it.
27:45disease
27:49Yeah!
