01:01♪
01:11Hey look, underneath that shaft.
01:14♪
01:20What is it?
01:23What have you found?
01:25♪
01:33Have you found him?
01:36Have you found that you?
01:40No, not him.
01:43What then?
01:45Some other poor bugger.
01:48♪
01:58Let's go and see what he's doing.
02:02Come on, boys, let's go.
02:05Come on, boys.
02:07Let's go.
02:09Come on.
02:11Come on.
02:13Come on.
02:15Let's go.
02:17Come on.
02:20It done a same possible, that if you had chose the worst,
02:24the most wicked thing it were possible to do,
02:28you could have happened upon anything more wicked than this.
02:32To stale from another pupil is bad enough,
02:36but to stale a Bible...
02:40A Bible.
02:42The very book which teaches you the sin you have committed.
02:51What do it see?
02:53What do it see, then, the Bible, a bite thieving?
02:57Well, answer now.
03:00What do it see?
03:04I'm sure.
03:08What does it see?
03:11Thou shalt not...
03:13Go on.
03:14...steal.
03:15Right.
03:17Thou shalt not stale.
03:21Maybe you'll learn a lesson from this yet.
03:24I'm sure she has, Mr Price. I'm grateful to you...
03:26You may well be grateful, Miss Delright,
03:29but please let her be for a moment,
03:31for I are finished with this girl yet.
03:46Well, young lady, and what have we here?
03:49A prize.
03:51Well, I'm not sure if you deserved your prize.
03:54Let me see if it isn't too good for you.
04:00First in her class. Do you see this, Mr Price?
04:04Do you think this young lady could truly have been first in her class?
04:09Well, will you?
04:11Well, I don't know. I mean, I suppose if that's what it says.
04:14Now, tell me, honestly, do you deserve it?
04:18Yes, I do.
04:21Well, I suppose you must have it.
04:26Janie's sacrifice or the spool of cotton and other stories for children.
04:30Do you really think that's suitable, Mr Price?
04:32Oh, I don't. I'm sure if it were chosen, they would...
04:35Then it must be yours.
04:37Big sister isn't out of school yet.
04:39I've been waiting ever so longer.
04:43Mrs Sutton.
04:45I've just been making sure of some slippery folk for the sewing meeting.
04:48Oh, you'd be surprised the reasons people are fine
04:50for not giving an hour or two of their time.
04:53You had a good class this afternoon, Henry?
04:55Oh, yes, very good indeed.
04:57You doing all right?
04:59Oh, I'm fine, thank you.
05:01Oh, I'm fine.
05:04Oh, yes, very good indeed.
05:06You're doing fine work.
05:08We had over 70 present.
05:10Oh, I make nothing of numbers, Henry. I meant a good class.
05:12I mean, don't it say where two or three are gathered together?
05:15Well, I must be going on.
05:17The horses will be restless and have a call to make up at Hillport before tea.
05:22Anna, what ages you've been?
05:24Look.
05:38Miss Tellwright.
05:40We were beginning to wonder if everything was all right.
05:43Oh, it's all right.
05:45It's all right.
05:47It's all right.
05:49It's all right.
05:52There was nothing serious, was there, Rob?
05:54I'm afraid so.
05:56One of my girls stole a Bible from another girl.
05:59So, of course, I had to mention it to the superintendent.
06:02To Titus Price?
06:04Of course, he gave her a lecture.
06:06But now he says he must take her home and talk to her parents.
06:08He says she must be dismissed.
06:10Dismissed?
06:14I know it is a serious matter,
06:16but it would be such a pity to dismiss her.
06:20In fact, I've always rather liked the girl.
06:23I wonder if...
06:25Yes?
06:27You might speak to Mr Price about it.
06:29I think only if he were to mention it to me first.
06:32Oh, yes.
06:34Yes, of course.
06:36And what, Woolley?
06:38Not gone yet?
06:40Forgotten something?
06:42Yes. No, I mean Miss Fazer.
06:44Good day, Miss Tellwright.
06:50Agnes has been showing me a prize.
06:52I asked her if she really deserves it,
06:54and she says she does.
06:56What do you think, Miss Tellwright?
06:58I know how hard Agnes studies a Bible.
07:00I'm sure it were well earned.
07:02Agnes?
07:04You know it in a polite or whispering company.
07:06I'm sure it was important.
07:08Agnes wants to go to the park to hear the band play.
07:11I'm going up there, too.
07:13Come along, Agnes. Tap me arm. Show me the way.
07:20Come on.
07:44What a load of people.
07:46It's like going to a football match.
07:48Football matches, Agnes.
07:54Anna, listen.
07:56Hear the band wonderful.
07:58Will you dance, then, Agnes?
08:00Dance in front of the band.
08:02You tease yourself.
08:04Nonsense. Why shouldn't she dance if she wants to?
08:06She's but a child.
08:14I can never believe town's all round us.
08:18You must remember, Agnes,
08:20the most beautiful things can flower
08:22in the midst of grime and smoke.
08:24Father says it's the smoke that stops me
08:26ghillie-flossing for him.
08:28The smoke that paid for this park
08:30and most things else you'd care to mention.
08:32Your father knows that as well as any man
08:34and better than most.
08:36Father knows everything?
08:38I suppose it's for being old.
08:48I saw him, Father, this morning
08:50at a quarter to seven,
08:52walking as brisk as a boy.
08:54Seems a pitcher of health.
08:56He's never ill.
08:58And yet he has no inclination to preach here.
09:00He used to preach in the Handbridge circuit, I believe.
09:02He'd stopped preaching long before we moved here.
09:04I wonder if he couldn't have been persuaded.
09:06He knows as well as I do we're short of local preachers,
09:08good ones, that is.
09:10I can't speak for Father.
09:12You'll have to ask him yourself.
09:14Well, I will do.
09:16Just one night this week.
09:18To ask Father if he would preach?
09:20Not exactly.
09:22Then...
09:24It is a matter of some little business.
09:26Yes, business.
09:28But you will be in.
09:30Oh, yes. I'm always in.
09:32See? There's Miss Sutton.
09:40Good afternoon, Miss Tellwright.
09:42So you've come to see the park.
09:44I insisted, of course.
09:46How are you, Agnes? And you, I've seen before.
09:48You are not here alone.
09:50No. Father's down by the lake.
09:52He caught sight of you and sent me up to say
09:54that you're to be sure to come to supper tonight.
09:56You will come, won't you?
09:58Yes, thanks. I have meant to.
10:00Father says the park has sent up the value
10:02of that land over there enormously.
10:04Mr Tellwright owns most of it, doesn't he, Anna?
10:06Dare say he might. I really don't know.
10:08Of course, it'll all be covered in streets in a few months.
10:10Will he build himself or will he sell it?
10:12I haven't the least idea.
10:14If you're so interested in Mr Tellwright's business plans,
10:16Beatrice, perhaps you'd best ask him yourself.
10:18Here he is, you see, close against the bandstand.
10:20Henry, you know I have no such intention.
10:30Agnes, dear, we must go or we shall be late.
10:32She returns it this evening, Agnes.
10:34Take me to chapel.
10:36Save us.
10:38Well, we must go.
10:40Good-bye.
10:42Good-bye.
11:10Good-bye.
11:40Good evening.
11:42Yes, isn't it?
11:52I thought you'd be here.
11:54Sorry. I thought I'd shut her in the kitchen.
11:56So right, miss.
11:58You can't stop them when they know what they want.
12:02Say what I mean, miss.
12:04Now, you listen to her purr.
12:08So right,
12:10it'll be the fethest turn this Sunday, I expect.
12:12Yes.
12:14I shan't be spilling no milk
12:16on the step next week, I reckon.
12:18Cat or no cat.
12:20Ta-ra, miss.
12:22Good-bye.
12:38Good-bye.
13:08Good-bye.
13:38Good-bye.
14:08Good-bye.
14:28At last.
14:30I was in the garden.
14:32Were you waiting long?
14:34Only a quarter of an hour.
14:38What was so special
14:40about the garden, Aces?
14:42I...
14:44Like planting flowers, I'll be bound.
14:46I forgot.
14:48Daydreams, Monarchs.
14:50I forgot the time.
14:52Happens.
14:54Girl's your age.
14:56Girl pass.
15:08Whatever time's it?
15:10It's early yet.
15:12But you didn't awake me.
15:14It's early.
15:16But you're already up.
15:18I couldn't sleep.
15:20Cos you're so excited, sis.
15:22Excited?
15:24Today, silly.
15:26Cos today's your birthday.
15:28Today.
15:30Today.
15:32Today.
15:34Today.
15:36Today's your birthday.
15:38Yes, it is, innit?
15:40Twenty-one.
15:44What's it feel like?
15:46Feel like?
15:48Being grown up.
15:50Being a woman.
15:52But you do feel different, don't you?
15:54You do?
15:56I think I do.
15:58How old were you when your mother died?
16:00I were five.
16:02Then you remember her?
16:04A little.
16:06Yes, I think so.
16:08Tell us, what was she like?
16:10Was she like you?
16:12Do you look like her?
16:16She was always in the kitchen.
16:18Baking and cleaning.
16:22I can never forget her.
16:24Baking and cleaning.
16:28I can remember her.
16:30Standing over the fire.
16:32Rosy-cheeked.
16:34Smiling at some silly thing or other that I'd said.
16:38She were kind to me.
16:40Of course, silly.
16:42She was your mother.
16:44So you don't look like her?
16:46No, I think not.
16:48Who do you look like, then?
16:50Is it Father?
16:52Do you take after Father?
16:54Perhaps I do.
17:00I think you're so lucky, sis.
17:06Because I am 21?
17:08Because you don't remember your mother.
17:22Here, sis.
17:24For you.
17:26For your birthday.
17:28Do you like them?
17:30They're lovely.
17:32We shall have to find a vase for them.
17:38Could we use this old jug?
17:40We never use it at table any more.
17:42The very thing.
17:44Could we use this old jug?
17:46We never use it at table any more.
17:48The very thing.
18:00Is the bacon ready?
18:02Ready.
18:14Ready.
18:32Father!
18:44Father!
19:04What have we got here?
19:06Agnes gave them to me.
19:08She's grown them herself.
19:10They're for my birthday.
19:12Ah, they're 21.
19:14They're a woman now.
19:20Well, young lady.
19:26God sanctify this food to our use
19:28and us to his service.
19:30For Christ's sake, amen.
19:38Anna!
19:40I want you.
19:46Taters can wait.
19:58Sit down, wench.
20:06You thought you'd remind me of your birthday.
20:08I'd not forgotten.
20:10I've a mind to my responsibilities.
20:12You're of age today, Anna,
20:14and there's something for you.
20:16Your mother
20:18had a fortune of her own,
20:20and under your grandfather's will,
20:22it comes to you when you're 21.
20:24The executor's made me trustee.
20:26Your mother
20:28had 18,000 pounds
20:30in government stock.
20:32That was near
20:3425 years ago.
20:36Haven't I
20:38troubled it?
20:40What with good investment and interest accumulating,
20:42your worth this day
20:44is near 50,000 pounds,
20:46Anna, as makes no difference,
20:48and that's a tardy bit.
20:5050,000 pounds?
20:52Ha-ha, wench.
20:54Do you mean it's my own
20:56favour? It's thine,
20:58under the grandfather's will, Anna told thee.
21:00I'm bound by law
21:02to give it you this day,
21:04and you must give me a receipt for these securities.
21:06Here they are.
21:08And here's the list.
21:10Take it, Anna,
21:12and read it to me while I check it off.
21:14Take it, wench, you wanna bite you.
21:20Read it, then.
21:22Toft End Colliery
21:24and Brickworks Limited,
21:26500 shares of 10 pounds.
21:28They paid 10 last year. With call-up as it is,
21:30they'll pay 15 this.
21:32What's the arithmetic at worth, wench?
21:34What's 15% to 5,000 pounds?
21:38750 pounds.
21:40Right. That's more than two pounds
21:42a day.
21:44Just recollect.
21:46Go on.
21:48Five Towns Waiterworks Company Limited,
21:50consolidated stock,
21:528,500 pounds.
21:54That's a tit-bit, but it's regular.
21:56Go on.
21:58Norris's Brewery Limited,
22:00600 ordinary shares of 10 pounds.
22:0220%?
22:0420%?!
22:06I'll never ape at the doubt.
22:08The Zemmers would have talked me into selling
22:10them shares if I'd given them half a chance.
22:12But for all the temperance
22:14movements in the country, it's always them
22:16who's want to drink, and somebody's gotta make a profit
22:18out of that.
22:20Down here,
22:22Father, near the bottom, Bycast Pottery,
22:24Edward Street. Is that Titus
22:26Price's works?
22:28Works, wench. That's what he's doing there in the hand.
22:30Titus done a bit rent it from you.
22:32And you can be thankful most of your tenants are better payers than him.
22:34But, Father, he's the superintendent
22:36at the Sunday School. Aye, wench.
22:38But that don't mean he can
22:40manage his business any better nor worse
22:42than anyone else. And in Titus's
22:44case, it's worse.
22:46No wonder it didn't put him out in the street years ago.
22:48Father, you couldn't have?
22:50Couldn't have?
22:52Well, we'll never know, because now it's our business,
22:54and we should well have it. Now, let's get on with this.
22:56Well, he was £48,050,
22:58yielding a net income of
23:00£3,290
23:02or thereabouts.
23:04Aye, there's not many
23:06in this district that has gotten that to their names,
23:08Anna, no.
23:10For all they might ride to chapel in their own carriage
23:12every Sunday.
23:14Father. Well?
23:16What am I to do with it?
23:18Do with it, you say? Yes.
23:20Take care of it, my girl.
23:22Take care of it, and remember,
23:24you must take this list
23:26and these transfers and such to the bank.
23:28Tell Mr. Lovett I sent you.
23:30He'll give you a checkbook.
23:32I've told him all about it. He'll be expecting you.
23:34You'll have your own account, Anna.
23:36You'll be sure to keep it straight.
23:38It's no use talking, Father.
23:40I shan't know what to do.
23:42Not know what to do?
23:44You've come to Womanhood already.
23:46You've come to Womanhood already.
23:48Phew!
23:52Shall I keep these in the safe for thee?
23:54Yes, please, Father.
23:56It's not the word
23:58caters want intending to.
24:00When shall I call at the bank, Father?
24:02Better call this afternoon.
24:04Before three, mind.
24:06Very well.
24:08But I shan't know what to do.
24:10Well, you've got a tongue in that head, Anna.
24:16Good-bye.
24:46Good afternoon,
24:50Good afternoon, Miss Tellwright.
24:52May I trouble you
24:54to step into the manager's office?
24:56Good afternoon.
24:58..music..
25:04..music..
25:10..music..
25:12Music...
25:14Mr. Lovett? Miss Tellwright?
25:19Ah, Miss Tellwright.
25:21Your father told me I might expect you this afternoon.
25:27Yes.
25:28It is, of course, a great pleasure to meet you.
25:30And on such a delightful day.
25:35I knew your mother...
25:37I knew your mother naturally.
25:40That is to say, we only met on the one occasion.
25:43She left the management of her financial affairs to your father.
25:47And, of course, ourselves.
25:49And I suppose it will be the same in this case.
25:52Father says I must take an hand in managing me own affairs.
25:55Indeed.
25:57Well, they do say that young women are becoming more independent nowadays.
26:01Though I trust the way your father managed your mother's investments
26:05suggests that these things are best left to the man who knows.
26:09Oh, I should never dream of doing anything without consulting favour.
26:13Precisely.
26:15Now, would you be good enough to sign your ordinary signature just there
26:21exactly as you will write it on your cheques?
26:35Exactly so.
26:40Now, then, you already have £420 to your credit.
26:45Would you like to do anything out now?
26:47A new dress or hat to celebrate?
26:52Oh, no.
26:54No, thank you.
26:56Very well, then. Is that all right?
27:05You do realise you're a very fortunate young woman.
27:08Yes, I...
27:10For coming into so much money.
27:12It'll make you quite a catch.
27:30Here. That's our business.
27:32Whatever is it, Father?
27:34The best chance of finding out is to read it and see.
27:41Titus Price reckons as though he cannot afford
27:44to pay the £25 rent as is due today.
27:47You'd best go there and get something out of him, even if it's only £10.
27:51Go to Edward Street? So it should seem.
27:54What am I to say? I've never spoken to Mr Price except at the chapel.
27:58You must see Mr Price and tell him as though you can't accept any excuses.
28:04Maybe he won't find him so iron-mighty as at Sunday school.
28:09How much does he owe?
28:11Is it just this £25?
28:13I wish it was. He's five quaters and a raise.
28:16He owes they £125 altogether.
28:20I can never believe it.
28:22Seem a sight different, maybe.
28:24Just this Sunday, he was wanting to have one of my girls dismissed
28:28for stealing another girl's Bible.
28:30Dismissed!
28:32Oh, Price is all right. He'll pay when he can.
28:35But to be so much in debt, isn't he ashamed?
28:38Like I said, why don't you have a word with him, get what you can.
28:44Here.
28:46I want to do to be too barred, Anna.
28:49Suppose you sold old Titus up, what then?
28:52You reckon you could get another tenant for them ramshackle works?
28:56You could spend £1,000 and still not entice a tenant.
28:59That Edward Street property is one of the grandfather's little speculations that were none of mine.
29:06Here.
29:08My advice is, go steady.
29:14Get what you can.
29:29Here.
29:31Here.
29:33Here.
30:03Here.
30:09Still all right?
30:11Afternoon, Willie.
30:13Cold. Cold afternoon, too, isn't it?
30:15Was you, er...
30:17I'm here to see your favour.
30:19Favour, yes. That of the chapel business, then?
30:21No, Willie.
30:23But I thought the teacher's meeting tomorrow night.
30:25The boy came with a note to the house.
30:27My father asked me to go.
30:29I'll take you to him.
30:33All right.
31:00Miss Tellwright, later.
31:04Come inside, Miss Tellwright.
31:06Come into the office, will you?
31:09Sit yourself down, Miss Tellwright.
31:14Get back down to the entry, will you?
31:18Shouldn't have expected to see you here, Miss Tellwright.
31:21Father asked me to go.
31:23I did, did he?
31:25Yes.
31:26This place belonging to you in your own right?
31:29Yes, it is mine.
31:31Mine from me grandfather.
31:33Ah, well, I'm sorry to tell you, I can't pay you anything now.
31:36I haven't got a penny, nor a penny.
31:38But if you can but wait a week,
31:40tell your father I'll pay 20 pines next week.
31:43Father said that was what you said last week, Mr Price.
31:46Ah, maybe I did say that, or something like.
31:51The truth is, I've been disappointed.
31:54One of our best customers has put us off
31:56and money's tight, very tight.
32:00Maybe you wouldn't realise that in your position,
32:02but it's got to be give and take these days.
32:05I sure hope your father would have understood.
32:11The truth is, Miss Tellwright, we're kind of steering along here.
32:15We'll be compelled to give you notice
32:17if you keep pushing us for money.
32:19What's amiss with this works is it wants pulling down.
32:24You tell your father what I've told him
32:27and say, as I said, 20 pines next week.
32:30I can't pay you anything now, I've nothing by me at all.
32:33Father said particularly I was to be sure
32:36and get something on account.
32:38I've told him, but not a penny.
32:51I'll tell you what I'll do.
32:53I'll give you 10 pines now and do what I can next week.
32:56I'll do what I can then.
33:00Here.
33:05I hear as your father's going into partnership with young Marners,
33:08Henry Marners.
33:10Father has said nothing to me about it.
33:12Ah, maybe I said too much.
33:14If so, you'll excuse me, Miss.
33:16But he's a smart fellow, Marners.
33:19Now, you see, isn't it in the works?
33:21It isn't very much bigger than this,
33:23but there's everything you can think of there,
33:25all the machinery and dodges, and it's not over-rented, I'm told.
33:28But this fool in Bursley couldn't have helped but make money there.
33:31If your father could but see his way to come by here
33:34and see the state this place is in...
33:36Good day, Mr Price.
33:38I shall be sure to tell Father what you've said.
33:56Will you?
33:58Miss Turner.
34:09Blasers!
34:11The old trumpeter's turned the town upside down.
34:14Do you mean the revivalist, Father?
34:17Ah, yes, the revivalist.
34:19The old trumpeter's turned the town upside down.
34:22Do you mean the revivalist, Father?
34:24Ah.
34:26Have you heard him before?
34:28Ah, when I was circuit treasurer over at Anbridge.
34:32He played that corner to me,
34:34like he was calling all the sinners home.
34:36Once you've heard that, you'll not forget it.
34:38Our teacher showed us his portrait after school this afternoon.
34:42I've never seen such a beautiful man.
34:44Beautiful, you say? Maybe he is.
34:46They say there's all kinds of beauty.
34:48Beauty?
34:51What do you say, Anna?
34:54About what, Father?
34:56The revival. What part are you playing in all this?
34:59Nothing, really.
35:01Only, there's a teacher's meeting about it tomorrow night.
35:04I have to go to that.
35:07Young Mr Price mentioned it to me special today.
35:13Did you get anything out of Price?
35:15Yes.
35:17He gave me £10.
35:19He says he wants you to look over the works.
35:21He says they're falling to pieces.
35:23He always says that.
35:25If the works weren't in such a state,
35:27you'd have no excuse for making such a mess out of things.
35:30I hope you didn't go along with any daft ideas he had about repairs.
35:33No, Father, only it does... Only what?
35:37Nothing, Father.
35:41That, er, £10.
35:45It were a cheque, I reckon.
35:47No.
35:49He gave me two £5 notes.
35:51Did he? After claiming he didn't have a penny.
35:53Did he?
35:55Well, you'd better hand it over in case something happens to it.
35:58I'm going to the bank. I'll pay it into your account.
36:03Unless, of course, you've decided to keep it for yourself.
36:07Fancy money.
36:14I'm going to the bank.
36:45HE SIGHS
37:03The success of the revival depends upon the work
37:06we are prepared to do beforehand.
37:08Each one of us.
37:10The town has been mapped out into districts
37:13and each of you knows which of these he or she is responsible for.
37:18It is our duty to speak with people
37:21and do our utmost to persuade them to attend.
37:24And here, I'm most especially concerned with the children.
37:29For them, there is a special service
37:32and we must endeavour to make certain
37:34all those who have become our responsibility attend.
37:40That's why I'm asking you.
37:42You ladies in particular,
37:44to go through the list of your scholars' names
37:47and find the time to call personally at every house.
37:55Now, will you ladies do that?
37:58Miss Maychin?
38:01Mrs Salt?
38:04Miss Dickinson?
38:08Will you, Miss Tellwright?
38:12I will.
38:16Thank you all.
38:18Shall we sing an old favourite before the meeting disperses?
38:21Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah.
38:26CHOIR SINGS
38:43CHOIR CONTINUES
39:02Miss Tellwright!
39:05I thought I would never catch you.
39:07Father will be wanting his supper.
39:09Not just if ever.
39:11Next night, I'm coming to see him.
39:13You have business to discuss?
39:18I thought the meeting was very satisfactory.
39:22Is that your opinion?
39:24Oh, yes. Very.
39:26So much depends on our preparation
39:28and our sense of purpose, don't you think?
39:30Yes.
39:31I think it will be a great thing for our chapel
39:33and for those who come forward and declare themselves for Christ.
39:38I hope that you will come to the first service on the Friday night.
39:41Oh, yes, I shall come. I must.
39:43Good.
39:45I particularly wanted your promise.
39:57They ever told me you were coming, Mr Miners.
39:59I've set supper only ten.
40:01Have you? Capital!
40:03You must let me give you a kiss for that.
40:08MUSIC FADES
40:15Ah, Mr Miners.
40:17I was just going to begin my supper.
40:19I don't wait, you know.
40:21Quite right.
40:23So long as you wouldn't hate it all.
40:25Would he have hated it all, do you think, Agnes?
40:27You need not to fear it.
40:29I'd have saved you the bone.
40:33MUSIC FADES
40:35KNOCK ON DOOR
40:40Oh, hello.
40:41As soon as you'd gone, Fletcher told me Mr Miners was coming.
40:44Did you know before?
40:45Not until Mr Miners told me.
40:47Yes, and he told me to put out an extra plate.
40:49And I asked him if I should put the beef on the table.
40:52But Foster, he said no. Cross.
40:54You know the way he is.
40:56And then he called after me and said I could play to Miss M.
40:58So I put it on.
41:00Did I do right, sis?
41:02I'm sure that you did.
41:07Why has Mr Miners come, Anna?
41:09However should I know.
41:11Some business between him and Father, I expect.
41:13It's very queer.
41:15Why queer?
41:16You know it is, Anna.
41:18He's never been here before.
41:20And Father never has people to supper.
41:23But really, Anna, isn't he nice?
41:26I think he's lovely.
41:28Just as though the day you thought the revivalist was beautiful.
41:31No, silly, not like that at all.
41:58God sanctify this food to our use and us to his service.
42:01For Christ's sake, amen.
42:03Amen.
42:15Well, young lady,
42:17and how did you like the responsibility of getting supper ready in place of your big sister?
42:20It were lovely. Old place to do it.
42:22Oh, be careful.
42:24You'd talk your big sister out of a job and yourself into one.
42:26Oh, I wouldn't have mind.
42:28But whatever would Anna do?
42:35And what have you got for us, Agnes?
42:37Is the smoke still killing them as your father said it did?
42:40They aren't very good.
42:42But when it were Anna's birthday, I collected enough to sit and chug on the table.
42:45Didn't I, sis?
42:47You did. And they were beautiful.
42:49They were dead before supper time.
42:56And you, Mr Tellwright,
42:58how did you enjoy your stroll in the park?
43:00It were great enough.
43:02The land of yours up on the top be appreciating rapidly, I fancy.
43:05Maybe.
43:07And your bill? Ah, I'll set them on.
43:09Big house up there, be a fine place to live.
43:12For some, maybe.
43:14For yourself, I was thinking.
43:16For myself? Whatever are you thinking on?
43:18What should I want with a place such as that?
43:20Why, I wish I didn't want to move away from here.
43:22Just a little small, perhaps.
43:24But if a man of your standing...
43:26Never mind my standing.
43:28There's nothing to be gained from living grander than you need.
43:31Look at old Titus Price and that great barn of a place.
43:33Needs a maid to look after it.
43:35Maid, Mr Tellwright? I should not have thought
43:37old Sarah Vaudrey could be classed as a maid.
43:39Whatever is she then? No more than another mouth to feed.
43:42And as for the size of the house...
43:44Osdentation and show.
43:48You're a good Wesleyan, I suppose.
43:50You should know.
43:52They're not the way.
43:59May I trouble you for a little more beef?
44:12Thank you. And...
44:15A morsel of fat.
44:23I was saying to Anna, Mr Tellwright,
44:25it seems strange that you've withdrawn from chapel life.
44:28And a shame you no longer serve as a circuit preacher.
44:31It's a shame you're so fit to mention it to her, not to me direct.
44:36I'm told as a preacher you were a firebrand indeed.
44:39And that when you were set to preach,
44:41the numbers of the congregation rose some 50%.
44:44You were told so? I was.
44:46Then you've been talking with fools.
44:48I was never no more of a preacher.
44:50I was never no more of a preacher
44:52than anyone else that trundled from pulpit to pulpit.
44:55I'll tell you what I did for Ambridge Methodists.
44:58I was circuit treasurer for 15 years.
45:00I lifted them out of debt and left them more than solvent.
45:03Every soul they saved,
45:05I could tell them how much it cost in shillings and pence.
45:08That were my service. And there's none can take it from me.
45:12Any more than the thems can make me serve.
45:15Any more.
45:20No.
45:46Anna!
45:51Yes, Father?
45:53Shut the door, sis.
45:55Father, the revival.
45:57Revival will wait.
45:59Tell me this.
46:01What's your opinion of young Henry Miners?
46:05Mr Miners, Father?
46:07Ah, Henry Miners. What do you know on him?
46:09A chapel, he seems to be.
46:11Chapel, chapel. Is that all you ever think on chapel?
46:14I'm not talking of chapel now.
46:16Then, Father, I know nothing.
46:18His parents died when he were young.
46:20Mrs Sutton's been as much a mother to him as anyone else.
46:24He set himself to work as soon as he could,
46:26clerking, stuck at it,
46:28till he'd saved enough to start a business on his own,
46:31earthenware works down near Shoreport.
46:33Not much, but he's made it pay.
46:36Others, like Price, may be going under,
46:38but his order book's full all the year round.
46:43So, now you know so much you never knew before.
46:47Yes, Father.
46:48Only, I don't see what concern it is of mine.
46:53Well, it's this.
46:58Miners wants a partner worth £2,000.
47:02And he's come to me.
47:04He could get somebody to go in and share the work with him,
47:06but that's not what he's after.
47:08It's a sleeping partner he's after.
47:11He'll give a third share of his concern
47:13to someone who'll put up £2,000 a year.
47:16He'll put up £2,000 and keep out of the way.
47:18I've looked into it and there's money in it.
47:20He's no fool. He's on to a good thing.
47:22But I've not got 2,000 of me own idle just now.
47:26I thought you might like the investment.
47:29All miners wants is 2,000 capital.
47:33It's a rare chance. You best take it.
47:35Of course, if you think it's right, Father, that's enough.
47:38I've just been telling you, it's all right.
47:41You must tell miners when you see them in chapel.
47:44I say it's satisfactory. Tell them that, see.
47:47I say it's satisfactory.

49:29Amen!
49:30Procure for us the blessed peace of thy grace through our faith,
49:34even as it was procured for all of us miserable sinners
49:38through the blood and righteousness of Christ.
49:43Ungodly soul that hears these words,
49:48helpless and miserable sinner,
49:52I charge thee before God to come to him in all thy unworthiness
50:00and crave his forgiveness and his grace.
50:04Come to thy God, no matter that thee be sinning,
50:08no matter that thee be sinning,

50:14Amen!

50:20Amen!
50:24Let the Holy Ghost descend among us now.
50:31I see the Divine Dove.
50:35Let any of thee who feel the presence of the Holy Ghost
50:39step forth and declare their souls for God.
50:49The blood of Christ atones.
50:53The Spirit of Christ is working among us.
50:57I hear it now.
51:00I hear it now.

52:06Here's Mr. Arnold.
52:08Arnold, dear.
52:09Mrs. Sutton.
52:10I'm sorry I didn't...
52:12I know. It's all so intense.
52:14But you are all right, Miss Tilwright.
52:16Oh, yes.
52:17You didn't look afore with rest.
52:19No.
52:21I wanted to.
52:24At least I think I did.
52:26It's so difficult.
52:39Never you mind, my dear.
52:41We all come to the Lord in our separate ways.
52:43As long as you can humble yourself to it, Miss Tilwright.
52:46That is the most important thing.
52:48So easy, Anna.
52:49It's simple if you only submit.
52:55It's so simple, Anna.
52:57So easy if you only submit.
53:01As long as you humble yourself,
53:04that is the most important thing.
53:24Oh, God.
53:42Please help me to do what is right.
53:46If I am too willful and proud,
53:48help me to cast these failings aside.
53:52Show me the way to your grace
53:54and let me not disappoint those who care for me
53:57and wish me well.
54:08Give me the strength to do what is right.
54:11And if I must be humble,
54:13help me to be so.
54:15Yet let me be strong too.
54:18Let your strength be mine
54:19so that I may share the strength of those around me.
54:23Lord, help me find the way to your heart.
