00:00.000 --> 00:20.720
Ranger Bill, Warrior of the Woodland. Struggling against extreme odds, traveling dangerous trails,

00:20.720 --> 00:25.800
fighting the many enemies of nature. This is the job of the guardian of the forest,

00:25.800 --> 00:32.080
Ranger Bill. Pouring rain, freezing cold, blistering heat, snow, floods, bears, rattlesnakes,

00:32.080 --> 00:38.600
mountain lions. Yes, all this in exchange for the satisfaction and pride of a job well done.

00:38.600 --> 00:50.760
Sometimes, fellas and girls are inclined to persecute the fellow who lives next door or

00:50.760 --> 00:56.320
goes to school with them. Oh, they don't do it deliberately. It's done because they think

00:56.320 --> 01:02.000
that a fellow who doesn't care the fist fight is a fussy. You know what I mean. Right now,

01:02.000 --> 01:07.560
you're thinking of someone like this. But fist fighting doesn't mean that a fellow is a gentleman,

01:07.560 --> 01:14.520
or that he's got courage and determination. I know a teenage lad who has a great ability

01:14.520 --> 01:23.160
with music, but he doesn't like fist fights. His name is Roger Holmes. Listen for the story of

01:23.160 --> 01:33.800
the Fighting Sisters. Come on, Rod. Put up your dupe for a fight. Why? I had a tiny thing to

01:33.800 --> 01:39.560
do. What's the matter? You afraid? No, I'm not afraid of you, Hank. I'm afraid I might hurt my

01:39.560 --> 01:46.560
head. He's afraid he might hurt his head. He's afraid he might hurt his paws. I'm afraid he might hurt his paws.

01:46.560 --> 01:55.720
I'll fight that dog. Come on, Hank. Stop scowling. Let him have it. Roger, I'm gonna clobber you.

01:55.720 --> 01:59.320
What for? I haven't done anything to you. That's because you think you're so smart at the piano.

01:59.320 --> 02:05.000
That's why. You mean you're gonna beat me up because I like music? Yeah. You're always so snooty

02:05.000 --> 02:10.600
about it. That's a lie. I always talk to you. That ain't cool. Hank, make him take that dog.

02:11.720 --> 02:16.280
You're calling me a liar, Roger? Take it any way you like. I'll show you what I like right in the

02:16.280 --> 02:21.000
middle. Come on, Hank. Don't let him duck around. Come on, here. All right.

02:21.000 --> 02:27.000
Come on, come on. Hey, hey, wait. No, Jeff. Come on.

02:31.560 --> 02:41.080
What's going on here, fellas? Uh, we're having a fight. Hello, Roger. Hello, Bill. What's the trouble?

02:42.840 --> 02:47.960
Just a difference of opinion, I guess. A difference of opinion, my eye. The good thing you showed up,

02:47.960 --> 02:52.600
Roger, your friend would have gotten a turn on Canada. Now, look, you fellas better shove off.

02:53.400 --> 02:59.640
How many does it take to fight one? Go on now. Run along. Right now. Get going.

02:59.640 --> 03:16.920
All right. You all right, Roger? Yeah, I guess so. Let me drive you home. We can talk things over on the way, huh?

03:21.480 --> 03:25.480
How'd you happen to come along at the right time, Bill? Oh, that's a good question, Roger.

03:25.480 --> 03:30.680
Must have had something on my mind. Turned into the street, pulled up into the alley, turned around.

03:31.720 --> 03:34.680
It was like the Lord's plan that I should find you in trouble, huh?

03:36.680 --> 03:41.480
I don't know what you mean, Bill. You mean the Lord's plan that you should find me here?

03:42.520 --> 03:48.920
Roger, many times strange things happen. Don't realize the Lord's plan did happen for a definite purpose.

03:49.800 --> 03:51.080
I still don't get you, Bill.

03:51.080 --> 03:56.120
That's no wonder, Roger. You see, I've made myself clear.

03:57.800 --> 04:01.320
That's your house up ahead there, isn't it? Yeah, we can study a bit.

04:02.200 --> 04:07.160
I'd like to explain a little more what I said about the Lord if you wanted to.

04:07.160 --> 04:11.800
Sure. Would you come in for a while, Bill? I'd like to play for you, too, if I could.

04:11.800 --> 04:20.440
Hey, I'd like nothing better than to hear you play, Bill. You've got an audience.

04:41.800 --> 04:54.920
Now with a fine solo, Roger. Play any other instruments?

04:54.920 --> 04:58.520
Yeah, the organ. I practiced that in the high school auditorium.

04:58.520 --> 05:01.800
I'd like to hear you. You have real talent in music.

05:02.760 --> 05:09.480
Yeah, but I can't do much else. Like fighting. I'm no good at all.

05:09.480 --> 05:11.880
Well, do you think that's absolutely necessary?

05:12.520 --> 05:15.640
Well, I'd like to defend myself when the fellas start picking on me.

05:15.640 --> 05:18.360
No, they're just jealous of your musical ability, Roger.

05:19.800 --> 05:24.600
Say, have you ever thought of using your musical talent for the Lord Jesus Christ?

05:25.800 --> 05:29.000
You're talking over my head again, Bill. What do you mean?

05:29.720 --> 05:32.600
Well, you go to Sunday school or church, don't you?

05:32.600 --> 05:37.320
No, my dad doesn't believe in it. He thinks I'm a sissy because I like music and I want to go to

05:37.320 --> 05:41.160
church. But rather than have trouble, I stay on the way.

05:42.200 --> 05:47.400
See. Well, you've heard about God, haven't you?

05:47.400 --> 05:49.720
Oh, sure. Everybody's heard about God.

05:50.440 --> 05:54.360
God has a son, Jesus. Oh, I've heard about him too.

05:55.160 --> 06:02.760
But do you know him, Roger? Jesus isn't only God's son. He's our Savior too. You need a Savior.

06:03.800 --> 06:07.000
I don't understand. Please explain.

06:07.000 --> 06:11.080
Sure. Let me tell you all of what God has done for you.

06:11.880 --> 06:18.200
You see, in the beginning of this world, God tested the first man as to what sort of stuff

06:18.200 --> 06:26.200
he was made of. And Adam, sorry to say, chose to disobey God. And thus has affected his

06:26.200 --> 06:31.400
descendants all down through the years. Men today have a tendency to sin.

06:32.360 --> 06:36.600
Just take a glance at the paper tonight and you'll find that item after item tells about

06:36.600 --> 06:41.480
man's sin. Yeah, I guess you're right. But I'm not the bad sinner.

06:42.120 --> 06:48.440
The Bible tells us that all of sin comes short of God's glory, Roger. Now, this doesn't mean

06:48.440 --> 06:54.760
just violence. Why, it could be said that we sin even when we don't include God in our life.

06:55.560 --> 07:03.800
Just sort of ignore him. But the bright side of the truth is this, that despite man's failure,

07:03.800 --> 07:07.720
God has made a way to blot out all the past and give men a new start.

07:08.840 --> 07:15.480
It's through the death of Jesus Christ, for in that, he was punished for our sins.

07:16.520 --> 07:20.760
With the penalty of our sins paid, we have eternal life.

07:20.760 --> 07:26.040
Then it's all automatic. No, that's where we as individuals come in, Roger.

07:26.040 --> 07:32.600
God has made it possible for us to be saved from our sins, but we have to agree to it.

07:33.320 --> 07:40.440
We have to receive Christ as our own Savior. That, briefly, is what God calls the gospel,

07:41.240 --> 07:47.320
the good news of salvation. Bill, how can I become a sinner?

07:47.960 --> 07:52.840
Well, the first thing is to be sorry for your sins and come to Christ for cleansing.

07:52.840 --> 07:55.080
But Bill, I haven't done anything wrong.

07:55.080 --> 08:00.840
We've all come far short of what God wants us to be, Roger. Isn't that true?

08:01.880 --> 08:04.760
It must be true, because God says it is.

08:05.960 --> 08:10.840
Let's see, that is... Let me play the piano for you again, Bill.

08:10.840 --> 08:26.840
You all right, Roger?

08:26.840 --> 08:30.840
Roger, can't you ever leave that piano alone?

08:30.840 --> 08:32.840
Oh, hello, Dad. I was just playing for Bill.

08:32.840 --> 08:34.840
Bill? Bill who?

08:34.840 --> 08:36.840
Dad, I'm not playing for Bill.

08:36.840 --> 08:40.840
Bill, I'd like you to meet my dad.

08:40.840 --> 08:42.840
How do you do, Mr. Holmes?

08:42.840 --> 08:44.840
My name's Frank, Ranger. Glad to meet you.

08:44.840 --> 08:46.840
Your son's a very fine musician, Frank.

08:46.840 --> 08:50.840
That's all right, as long as it isn't his whole life.

08:50.840 --> 08:56.840
I want him to grow up to be a man, learn to handle his fists, defend himself.

08:56.840 --> 09:00.840
I think you'd be proud of his ability. Some folks would give their right arms.

09:00.840 --> 09:06.840
Yeah, and he's got to know how to face the struggles of life.

09:06.840 --> 09:10.840
That's the most important thing. You don't get it sitting down at the piano.

09:10.840 --> 09:13.840
That's as much a part of the struggle as anything else.

09:13.840 --> 09:16.840
But you don't know the facts.

09:16.840 --> 09:22.840
Every lad in the neighborhood tries to beat his ears off, just because he can't defend himself.

09:22.840 --> 09:24.840
That's only a matter of instruction.

09:24.840 --> 09:26.840
You think so?

09:26.840 --> 09:32.840
When I tried to teach him, it's a matter of forgetting about music and doing other things.

09:32.840 --> 09:34.840
See?

09:34.840 --> 09:37.840
Well, I'll be running along. Glad to have met you.

09:37.840 --> 09:39.840
Thanks for listening to me play, Bill.

09:39.840 --> 09:42.840
Thank you for playing, Roger. I'd like to hear some more sometime.

09:42.840 --> 09:44.840
Sure, come over any time.

09:44.840 --> 09:48.840
You needn't bother, Mr. Jefferson. He gets enough encouragement from his mother.

09:48.840 --> 09:49.840
Goodbye.

09:49.840 --> 09:57.840
Goodbye, sir.

09:57.840 --> 10:01.840
Bill, we go get reports from Ben on six black bears.

10:01.840 --> 10:10.840
All right, Grey Wolf. If they're over a dozen sick, we're going to have to keep the tourists out of the park until we round up the crabby brooms.

10:10.840 --> 10:14.840
Ah, that's right. Here come Roger Holmes upstate.

10:14.840 --> 10:19.840
Don't let Stumpy sleep too long. I'll see you later.

10:19.840 --> 10:24.840
Okay, Grey Wolf. Roger's standing here, huh?

10:24.840 --> 10:28.840
Stumpy must have hit a knot in the lawn.

10:28.840 --> 10:29.840
Hello, Bill.

10:29.840 --> 10:32.840
Oh, Roger. This is a surprise. How about in?

10:32.840 --> 10:35.840
Are you busy? I don't want in a lot.

10:35.840 --> 10:38.840
Never too busy to have a chat. Grab a chair, young fellow.

10:38.840 --> 10:40.840
Thanks, Bill.

10:40.840 --> 10:44.840
You're very kind.

10:44.840 --> 10:47.840
Forget it. I like to talk with people, especially young people.

10:47.840 --> 10:51.840
Hey, Stumpy, wake up.

10:51.840 --> 10:56.840
Hey, what's going on, sonny?

10:56.840 --> 11:02.840
We've got a visitor, Stumpy. I'd like you to meet Roger Holmes. Roger, this is Stumpy Jenkins.

11:02.840 --> 11:04.840
Hello, Stumpy. I'm glad to meet you.

11:04.840 --> 11:10.840
Me too, young fellow.

11:10.840 --> 11:15.840
You're the lad who can tickle the ivory so pretty, huh? Bill's been telling me about you.

11:15.840 --> 11:17.840
Oh, I'm just ivory.

11:17.840 --> 11:24.840
Maybe so, but if you keep exercising those fingers of yours for the next five years, you'll be a witch.

11:24.840 --> 11:30.840
Thanks, Stumpy. Only I didn't come over to talk about music. I want to talk about fighting.

11:30.840 --> 11:33.840
Fighting? What do you mean, Roger?

11:33.840 --> 11:36.840
Bill, you think I could learn how to defend myself?

11:36.840 --> 11:40.840
Why, sure you can, Roger. What's the stop to?

11:40.840 --> 11:47.840
Well, nothing, I guess. Only is it possible to learn without hurting my hands?

11:47.840 --> 11:52.840
It sure is, sonny. Only an amateur hurts his hands fighting.

11:52.840 --> 11:55.840
Yeah, but I'm not even a beginner, Stumpy.

11:55.840 --> 11:59.840
Well, I know the fellow that can make you a veteran.

11:59.840 --> 12:01.840
You do?

12:01.840 --> 12:04.840
You do? Are you asking to teach me?

12:04.840 --> 12:08.840
Ask him yourself! He's sitting way alongside of me!

12:19.840 --> 12:21.840
Hello, Bill. I'm here for my first lesson.

12:21.840 --> 12:23.840
Right on time, too.

12:23.840 --> 12:26.840
Roger, I'd like you to meet another of my rangers.

12:26.840 --> 12:30.840
This big fella here is Gray Wolf. And Gray Wolf, this is Roger Holmes.

12:30.840 --> 12:34.840
Ah, I've met your dad. I'm plenty glad to meet you, too, Roger.

12:34.840 --> 12:38.840
So you're Gray Wolf. I've heard about you from Henry.

12:38.840 --> 12:42.840
Gray Wolf's going to work out with us for a few times, Roger.

12:42.840 --> 12:46.840
He and I will demonstrate how it's done, and then we'll teach you.

12:46.840 --> 12:49.840
That's wonderful. I don't have any boxing gloves yet.

12:49.840 --> 12:54.840
You don't need boxing gloves for a long while. Bill and I teach you ju-ditsu.

12:54.840 --> 12:59.840
Jiu-ditsu? But you can break somebody's neck with that, can't you?

12:59.840 --> 13:04.840
Take it easy, fella. We're only going to teach you some of the less dangerous holds.

13:04.840 --> 13:08.840
Then after you learn ju-ditsu, we show you a little how to handle fists.

13:08.840 --> 13:11.840
Maybe I'm not going to be able to learn.

13:11.840 --> 13:15.840
Now, listen, young fella, let's not have any doubts at all.

13:15.840 --> 13:17.840
There's a verse in the Bible that says,

13:17.840 --> 13:21.840
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

13:21.840 --> 13:26.840
Remember those words. They were spoken by the Apostle Paul,

13:26.840 --> 13:31.840
a man who suffered from infirmities and doubt as to his own abilities.

13:31.840 --> 13:34.840
But he depended on the Lord for his strength and health.

13:34.840 --> 13:40.840
I will too, then. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

13:40.840 --> 13:41.840
That's it?

13:41.840 --> 13:42.840
I feel better already, Bill.

13:42.840 --> 13:48.840
Good. Now let's go into the back room and get some gym mats on the floor there.

13:48.840 --> 13:52.840
Now, Grey Wolf and I will show you some ju-ditsu holds.

13:52.840 --> 13:54.840
Watch and see how it's done.

13:54.840 --> 13:55.840
I'll watch closely, Bill.

13:55.840 --> 13:57.840
And you can try some holds.

13:57.840 --> 14:01.840
The biggest factor is surprise. Now look.

14:07.840 --> 14:08.840
Boy, that's a good hold, Bill.

14:08.840 --> 14:11.840
Yeah. Now it's your turn to try.

14:11.840 --> 14:13.840
You make sure you move funny and quick.

14:13.840 --> 14:18.840
Can I go through it first in slow motion?

14:21.840 --> 14:22.840
That a boy, Roger.

14:22.840 --> 14:24.840
You think I'm catching on quickly enough?

14:24.840 --> 14:27.840
Catching on? You're doing it like a professional.

14:34.840 --> 14:36.840
You're doing it like a professional.

14:36.840 --> 14:38.840
You're doing it like a professional.

14:38.840 --> 14:46.840
You think Roger will play for the rally, Bill?

14:46.840 --> 14:49.840
I don't know, old timer. I hope so.

14:49.840 --> 14:52.840
Now the auditorium's down at the end of the hall.

14:52.840 --> 14:57.840
Hey, the addition they made to the high school sure makes it a big building, huh?

14:57.840 --> 14:59.840
I'll say it does.

14:59.840 --> 15:04.840
Hey, Bill. I can hear the young fellow you're squeezing the pipes now.

15:04.840 --> 15:07.840
Yeah. He does a good job, doesn't he?

15:07.840 --> 15:09.840
Now here's the door, Stumpy.

15:28.840 --> 15:30.840
Now that was terrific, Roger.

15:30.840 --> 15:33.840
Made me tinkle right down to my little toe.

15:33.840 --> 15:34.840
Thanks.

15:34.840 --> 15:38.840
Now, Rog, I came over for a special purpose.

15:38.840 --> 15:44.840
To ask you to play at the Youth for Christ rally a week from Saturday night at the Goose Lake Auditorium.

15:44.840 --> 15:47.840
Well, I, uh...

15:47.840 --> 15:52.840
Now don't just sit there and make noise like a bullfrog, Rog.

15:52.840 --> 15:56.840
I don't feel that I could live up to the expectations, fella.

15:56.840 --> 16:00.840
Listen, Rog. Remember what the apostle Paul wrote?

16:00.840 --> 16:04.840
Yes. I can do all things through Christ with strength in me.

16:04.840 --> 16:09.840
Right. With a promise like that, you don't have a thing to worry about.

16:09.840 --> 16:12.840
Okay. I'll play for the rally.

16:22.840 --> 16:25.840
Keep your chin in, Rog. Nobody'll hang one on us.

16:25.840 --> 16:26.840
Like this?

16:26.840 --> 16:30.840
Yeah. Now keep your left in my face, Rasmussen, all the time.

16:30.840 --> 16:33.840
Save your right for the sledgehammer punch.

16:39.840 --> 16:41.840
Watch for an opening now.

16:41.840 --> 16:43.840
Use your right.

16:43.840 --> 16:44.840
I didn't mean to hit you, Bill.

16:44.840 --> 16:47.840
Never mind that. Watch for another opening.

16:47.840 --> 16:56.840
And go your heavy-duty punch.

17:07.840 --> 17:09.840
Ranger headquarters. Bill Jafferson speaking.

17:09.840 --> 17:11.840
Hello, Bill.

17:11.840 --> 17:13.840
Welcome. How are you, sir?

17:13.840 --> 17:18.840
Bill, what's this I hear about you getting Roger interested in religion?

17:18.840 --> 17:20.840
What do you mean, Frank?

17:20.840 --> 17:22.840
I mean the stuff about being a Christian.

17:22.840 --> 17:26.840
Going to Sunday school and church and that sort of Tommy-rock.

17:26.840 --> 17:28.840
Call that Tommy-rock?

17:28.840 --> 17:30.840
You heard me, Bill.

17:30.840 --> 17:35.840
I appreciate your help in teaching him self-defense, but lay off the religion.

17:35.840 --> 17:38.840
That'll only make him a bigger sissy than he is now.

17:38.840 --> 17:41.840
Frank, do you think I'm a sissy?

17:41.840 --> 17:44.840
Well, well, that is...

17:44.840 --> 17:46.840
No, no, of course not.

17:46.840 --> 17:49.840
You have one small doubt that I'm a sissy.

17:49.840 --> 17:51.840
I'd be glad to show you otherwise.

17:51.840 --> 17:55.840
Well, no, I can never think that, Bill.

17:55.840 --> 17:59.840
Well, according to your logic, I am a sissy, Frank.

17:59.840 --> 18:05.840
I like music, I attend church and Sunday school, and I don't go around picking fist-banks.

18:05.840 --> 18:09.840
In fact, I do everything I can to avoid trouble.

18:09.840 --> 18:13.840
Well, it's different in your case, Bill.

18:13.840 --> 18:15.840
Why is it different?

18:15.840 --> 18:17.840
I can't explain it exactly.

18:17.840 --> 18:19.840
Well, I can.

18:19.840 --> 18:24.840
The fact of the matter is that you haven't taught your son the real values in life.

18:24.840 --> 18:27.840
You're telling me I failed as a father?

18:27.840 --> 18:30.840
Let me tell you something, Frank.

18:30.840 --> 18:35.840
You've given the boy a good home as far as physical comfort is concerned,

18:35.840 --> 18:39.840
but you haven't developed his spiritual and moral life.

18:39.840 --> 18:43.840
Some of our greatest men came from poor homes.

18:43.840 --> 18:47.840
They were taught to fear God and to love his Son.

18:47.840 --> 18:50.840
They were given sound spiritual training.

18:50.840 --> 18:52.840
You mean?

18:52.840 --> 18:54.840
I don't know.

18:54.840 --> 18:56.840
I don't know.

18:56.840 --> 18:58.840
I don't know what that means.

18:58.840 --> 19:01.840
I don't know what that means.

19:01.840 --> 19:06.840
As Christ as his Savior, he'll be grounded on a solid foundation.

19:06.840 --> 19:12.840
And believe me, Frank, there's no other foundation that'll weather the storms of life.

19:12.840 --> 19:17.840
But does it work out the way it's supposed to?

19:17.840 --> 19:20.840
Is there anything I can do now?

19:20.840 --> 19:23.840
Well, that's something we'll have to find out.

19:23.840 --> 19:25.840
We can't force, Roger.

19:25.840 --> 19:30.840
All we can do is teach him, and pray, and wait.

19:30.840 --> 19:33.840
All right, I'll wait.

19:33.840 --> 19:36.840
What you said makes sense.

19:36.840 --> 19:39.840
I just never thought of it that way.

19:39.840 --> 19:44.840
I guess I just expected Roger to grow up without help.

19:44.840 --> 20:05.840
I just hope I haven't failed as a father.

20:05.840 --> 20:07.840
Here comes Roger, you guys.

20:07.840 --> 20:09.840
As soon as he gets to the alley, we'll jump in.

20:09.840 --> 20:13.840
He won't get away.

20:13.840 --> 20:16.840
Okay, get him.

20:16.840 --> 20:19.840
Okay, you guys, knock it off.

20:19.840 --> 20:22.840
Come on, make it snappy, Hank, before it rains your friends.

20:22.840 --> 20:24.840
You thought you could duck us, huh, Roger?

20:24.840 --> 20:26.840
Now you're going to get the beating you got coming.

20:26.840 --> 20:28.840
Grab him, buddy, so he can't run.

20:28.840 --> 20:29.840
Now, wait a minute.

20:29.840 --> 20:33.840
All right, you're asking for it.

20:33.840 --> 20:34.840
Hey, that's dirty fighting.

20:34.840 --> 20:36.840
Quiet on him, gang.

20:36.840 --> 20:37.840
What's the matter, Hank?

20:37.840 --> 20:38.840
Are you afraid to jump on me yourself?

20:38.840 --> 20:42.840
I'll show you if I'm afraid.

20:42.840 --> 20:43.840
Hey, you, get him on the ground.

20:43.840 --> 20:44.840
Look at him.

20:44.840 --> 20:45.840
Yeah, somebody's taught him jujitsu.

20:45.840 --> 20:46.840
He can't fight with his fists.

20:46.840 --> 20:47.840
He's got to use that fancy stuff.

20:47.840 --> 20:48.840
Go ahead and show him, Roger.

20:48.840 --> 20:49.840
Hey, it's like he's drinking it up.

20:49.840 --> 20:50.840
Bill, where'd you come from?

20:50.840 --> 20:51.840
I've just been keeping an eye on you.

20:51.840 --> 20:52.840
Look, if these fellas want to fight fairly, I've got boxing gloves in my car.

20:52.840 --> 20:53.840
Get them and take a couple of these fellas over the ropes.

20:53.840 --> 20:54.840
Yeah, go ahead.

20:54.840 --> 20:55.840
I don't want to.

20:55.840 --> 20:56.840
Hey, Roger, remember what Paul said?

20:56.840 --> 20:57.840
Paul?

20:57.840 --> 20:58.840
Paul who?

20:58.840 --> 20:59.840
The guy who was in the movie.

20:59.840 --> 21:00.840
The guy who was in the movie.

21:00.840 --> 21:01.840
The guy who was in the movie.

21:01.840 --> 21:02.840
The guy who was in the movie.

21:02.840 --> 21:03.840
The guy who was in the movie.

21:03.840 --> 21:12.840
The guy who was in the movie.

21:12.840 --> 21:41.840
The guy who was in the movie.

21:41.840 --> 22:04.840
The guy who was in the movie.

22:04.840 --> 22:05.840
Wonderful, Rog.

22:05.840 --> 22:10.440
I don't think you'll have any more trouble when the word gets around that you beat up

22:10.440 --> 22:12.440
two of the toughest guys in school.

22:12.440 --> 22:14.440
The credit's all yours, Bill.

22:14.440 --> 22:16.440
It was a pleasure, Rog.

22:16.440 --> 22:21.440
And we'll see you Saturday evening at Goose Lake, huh?

22:21.440 --> 22:23.440
Yeah, I'm all practiced up.

22:23.440 --> 22:24.440
Good.

22:24.440 --> 22:25.440
Say, Roger.

22:25.440 --> 22:26.440
Oh, yeah, Bill?

22:26.440 --> 22:29.440
Why not invite Hank and Bonnie's gang to the meeting?

22:29.440 --> 22:30.440
A good idea.

22:30.440 --> 22:31.440
I'll do it.

22:31.440 --> 22:32.440
See ya.

22:32.440 --> 22:44.440
Hello, Bill.

22:44.440 --> 22:49.440
Hello, Roger.

22:49.440 --> 22:52.440
Hello, Frank.

22:52.440 --> 22:54.440
Hiya, Bill.

22:54.440 --> 22:56.440
We got here in the nick of time.

22:56.440 --> 22:58.440
Looks like we're in for a bad storm, doesn't it?

22:58.440 --> 22:59.440
Yeah.

22:59.440 --> 23:00.440
Looks bad, all right.

23:00.440 --> 23:02.440
Should we go inside?

23:02.440 --> 23:04.440
That would be a good idea.

23:04.440 --> 23:06.440
Say, look at this big gang of kids.

23:06.440 --> 23:09.440
Yeah, we got a good crowd tonight.

23:09.440 --> 23:11.440
And the meeting's about ready to start.

23:11.440 --> 23:13.440
Light it up.

23:13.440 --> 23:14.440
Fire!

23:14.440 --> 23:15.440
Fire!

23:15.440 --> 23:18.440
Bill, Bill, I think lighten up the building.

23:18.440 --> 23:21.440
We'd better do something before these kids stampede.

23:21.440 --> 23:22.440
You're right, Mike.

23:22.440 --> 23:24.440
All right, get to the target.

23:24.440 --> 23:30.440
Play like you've never played before.

23:30.440 --> 23:45.440
We gotta get the kids to run and riot.

23:45.440 --> 24:08.440
A few young folks out of breath.

24:08.440 --> 24:10.440
Keep moving, Ronald.

24:10.440 --> 24:12.440
Come on, John, quickly.

24:12.440 --> 24:13.440
Keep moving.

24:13.440 --> 24:16.440
Keep walking out and away from the building.

24:16.440 --> 24:17.440
That's good.

24:17.440 --> 24:22.440
You're doing fine.

24:22.440 --> 24:23.440
Stay in line.

24:23.440 --> 24:24.440
Don't push.

24:24.440 --> 24:26.440
Everybody's going to get out.

24:26.440 --> 24:29.440
Keep it right there, silly.

24:29.440 --> 24:30.440
Hey, don't push in there.

24:30.440 --> 24:32.440
Go on.

24:32.440 --> 24:33.440
Keep going.

24:33.440 --> 24:34.440
Keep going.

24:34.440 --> 24:35.440
Keep going.

24:35.440 --> 24:36.440
Keep going.

24:36.440 --> 24:37.440
Keep going.

24:37.440 --> 24:38.440
Keep going.

24:38.440 --> 24:39.440
Keep going.

24:39.440 --> 24:41.440
Oh, yeah, kids are out now.

24:41.440 --> 24:43.440
Oh, I'm going in after Rush.

24:43.440 --> 24:44.440
We can stop playing now.

24:44.440 --> 24:45.440
Boy, I'm glad to see you, Bill.

24:45.440 --> 24:46.440
Let's get out of here, boy.

24:46.440 --> 24:47.440
The building's cracking up.

24:47.440 --> 24:48.440
I think the roof's coming down, Bill.

24:48.440 --> 24:49.440
We'll never make it.

24:49.440 --> 24:50.440
Oh, yes, we will.

24:50.440 --> 24:51.440
Here, give me your hand.

24:51.440 --> 24:52.440
Now hang on.

24:52.440 --> 24:53.440
We're gonna run for it.

24:53.440 --> 24:54.440
Get out, Bill!

24:54.440 --> 24:55.440
Wow, that was a good one.

24:55.440 --> 25:14.440
Come on, now.

25:14.440 --> 25:26.440
We get your picture, Mayor.

25:26.440 --> 25:29.440
Come on, let's get you a picture, Mayor.

25:29.440 --> 25:32.440
Gentlemen, please, please.

25:32.440 --> 25:39.440
Ladies and gentlemen, we're here to pay tribute to a courageous young man.

25:39.440 --> 25:48.440
He became the stampede of young people by playing the organ until they were safely outside the burning auditorium at Goose Lake.

25:48.440 --> 25:52.440
He risked his own life to save the lives of others.

25:52.440 --> 26:11.440
As Mayor of Notty Fine, it gives me real pride to present this Medal of Merit to you, Roger Holmes.

26:11.440 --> 26:15.440
Ladies and gentlemen, a reception will be held in my office.

26:15.440 --> 26:24.440
You're all invited to help us honor Roger Holmes.

26:24.440 --> 26:27.440
Bill, how's my dad taking all this?

26:27.440 --> 26:28.440
You think I'd convince him?

26:28.440 --> 26:30.440
I'm not a sissy.

26:30.440 --> 26:31.440
You'll find out, Roger.

26:31.440 --> 26:32.440
Here he comes now.

26:32.440 --> 26:34.440
Hello, Bill.

26:34.440 --> 26:37.440
Thank you for everything you've done.

26:37.440 --> 26:42.440
Roger, will you forgive your dad for being such an ornery old mule?

26:42.440 --> 26:45.440
I'm ashamed of myself.

26:45.440 --> 26:47.440
Dad, what are you ashamed of?

26:47.440 --> 26:49.440
Remember that I ever called you a sissy.

26:49.440 --> 26:51.440
But Dad, I was scared.

26:51.440 --> 26:52.440
That I can't believe, son.

26:52.440 --> 26:53.440
But I was.

26:53.440 --> 26:57.440
When I was playing the organ, I was so scared I almost forgot how to play.

26:57.440 --> 27:00.440
Then I thought of what the Apostle Paul said.

27:00.440 --> 27:03.440
Apostle Paul? What did he say?

27:03.440 --> 27:19.440
He said, I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me.

27:19.440 --> 27:21.440
That's right, Roger.

27:21.440 --> 27:27.440
The Lord can give you the courage and strength to meet any emergency or any problem.

27:27.440 --> 27:32.440
I guess Bill proved that you don't judge a man by the size of his knuckles,

27:32.440 --> 27:36.440
but by the courage and faith he has in his heart.

27:36.440 --> 27:44.440
Well, see you next week for more Adventures with Ranger Bill.

27:44.440 --> 28:02.440
The End
