- No, sir.
- We did what we had to do...
:04:06
in view of your records.
:04:09
- Yes, sir.
- Come here.

Your father is a minister, is he not?
:04:18
I'm not trying to put myself
on a level with my father.
:04:21
I only hoped in some way
to follow in his footsteps.
:04:25

:04:26

to follow your father's calling.
:04:30

:04:42
I'll do anything. Only use me. Use me!
:04:50
Come here.

:05:08
If you really mean what you said
about wanting to help the unfortunates...
:05:12
here's your chance.

:05:36
"has more storms than any others.
:05:39
"Life is a struggle here below.
:05:42
"Yet out of our sufferings...
:05:45
"God teaches us higher things.
:05:48
"He wills..."
:05:53
"He wills that man should live humbly...
:05:57
"and go through life
not reaching after lofty aims...
