Now we all have those things that can just make you question life in general. One would be why do you drive on a parkway and park on a driveway. Another can be why when chicken is grilled and baked the wings taste so much better, but when it's fried the drumsticks are so much better.  But another one of those things came up last night. It was actually a story that dropped about maybe like two two and a half days ago about the Browns 2018 their number one overall pick. And apparently according to Chris Sims of NBC Sports according to him he said the Seahawks were interested in the Browns number one pick. And he even said there were rumors that the Seahawks offered Russell Wilson offered Russell Wilson for the Browns for that number one overall pick. And when I first saw it last night I am in good morning team keeping clean by the way I appreciate y'all I love y'all it is 9.52 a.m. so I hope y'all are doing good. But when I first saw it last night I almost thought I was still sleeping. I almost thought that okay maybe I'm knocked out maybe this is like a dream or something or maybe this is a satire count or something like that but then I rub my eyes I pinched myself a couple times went through a lot of pain and then I realized wait a minute notice this is real this is real this this is actually coming from legitimate accounts and I will look at the comments and the first thing I saw from so many different people and I can understand it's a knee jerk reaction most people were thinking oh brown they didn't take this that stupid that fools all this is why the Browns are the Browns they're forever gonna be the Browns because they make decisions like this and this came from people who are Browns fans this came from people who aren't Browns fans it was a mix of both and that was most people's knee jerk reactions oh man why wouldn't the Browns take this but I sat back thought about it even slept on it too obviously cuz it's the next morning and I realized that wait was this really that bad of a decision because when you look at things as they are now hindsight like we always say hindsight is always 2020 hindsight is always 2020 you can always be in a position now and look back and be like oh I should have done things that way I should have done it that way I should have done this I should have done that you can always do that we can all look back at our lives and feel like we should have done things differently so we can we could have had different outcomes and different fusions blah blah blah but when you're right there in the thick of things when the heat is on you you don't know how things are gonna turn out you don't know how things are gonna work out you don't know you don't know what's gonna go down next so if this is true if this is true I know a lot of people may not agree but I can't necessarily I don't really feel like the Browns are at fault for not taking Russell Wilson reason I say that and you can argue both cases for this and I can understand completely understand both sides of this cuz a lot of people like man you could have had Russell Wilson one of the best quarterbacks in the league and you certainly could have you certainly could have but with the Browns and I mean they definitely would have had a cap space for him too but maybe they felt like a they not structured enough to bring on one Russell Wilson even though I feel like he could help your team out that much more and help you sort of help you get set at the quarterback position maybe they felt like they could they he wasn't a good fit maybe they feel like they coaching staff just it wouldn't work with him maybe they felt like they just had too much problems within the coaching staff to bring on a Russell Wilson maybe they feel like the people around Russell Wilson wouldn't be good enough even though I'm sure he could raise the level of some guys play maybe they just felt like hey this guy is gonna have to get paid in a couple years and you know what we know we don't want to do it I don't know but I can't I can't sit up here and knock them for not wanting to give up their future and it ain't like Russell Wilson is some old washed up quarterback and obviously this was two years ago so he definitely wasn't old and washed up then I mean we saw just this past season he was still having MVP level seasons just this past season he had an MVP level season it wasn't on a level of Lamar's but now it was still really good but with the Browns maybe it was a thing with them where it was like um we know what Russell Wilson can do love Russell Wilson respect Russell Wilson but maybe they just they wanted to take that chance and they felt like they really had their guide for the next 10 12 possibly 15 years at the quarterback position in Baker Mayfield and again I know some of y'all might say oh well look at it y'all he throws all these picks and blah blah blah again hindsight is 2020 Browns didn't know that going into the 2018 season they didn't know that they didn't know how things were gonna be and again I mean things were looking like really good because Baker may I remember when I first saw Baker Mayfield I'm like wow this dude his his pocket presences is great and he makes quick quick accurate smart decisions but maybe the Browns were like you know what we we are looking to the long-term future Russell Wilson he will be the short-term future and he could be around for a while definitely but as far as long long-term probably not I mean you never know how long I mean look at Brady he he's what he's like 40 something what is he like 40 42 something like that and he's still going so Russell Wilson I mean in his the way that he plays how smart he is he could definitely play that long too if he chose to but with um I just feel like maybe the Browns they didn't want to give up their possible long long-term future for Russell Wilson and I feel like maybe they just wanted to sort of try to start from scratch and really build around a Baker Mayfield because that was gonna be that guy they really wanted to they were they were already fully invested in him if they didn't want to take Russell Wilson again one of the best QBs in the league he was one of the best QBs in the league two years ago and he still is right now but if they didn't want to take him for their future then I can understand that because what last night when it first came across my screen and I was really thinking about it taking it all in I was thinking because me as a Ravens fan I was thinking huh would I rather the Ravens drafted Lamar Jackson or traded that pick for Russell Wilson now Russell again Russell Wilson is nice like I said one of the best QBs in the league no doubt about that but would I rather the Ravens had drafted a Lamar Jackson or traded that number one pick for Russell Wilson and I honestly I would have just like them to take take Lamar because with me and I know it's different situations with the Browns and with the Ravens because the Browns they usually always have way more money than the Ravens do way more because they like with the Ravens they and I think and I'm not taking a shot at them or whatnot but I think it's because the Ravens they have been more competitive so players got to get paid and whatnot and they spend to they spend to the brim they spend all the way up until you can't spend no more but the Browns they have a lot of turnover they've lack consistency so when you lack consistency those big contracts that you give out you end up cutting guys you end up releasing guys you end up getting rid of so many different guys and you have a lot of cap every year you have a lot of cap every year because guys aren't fulfilling their contracts and you just have a lot of turnover but with the Ravens they've been pretty consistent at being competitive and whatnot so yeah guys guys to get paid and guys remain with the team but anyway but the cap situations are far different so the Browns usually have a lot more money so that would have been one thing that I would definitely I was excited for Lamar Jackson come draft time I really really wanted the Ravens to draft Lamar Jackson come draft time because I remember when I fell in love with the idea of us possibly getting Lamar Jackson was when me and my wife we were it was like a week before the draft we were on the plane and we were going to Chicago me my wife and our son and Mel Kuiper was talking about Lamar Jackson I was watching them then I started looking at stuff myself about Lamar Jackson I was like wow this guy is he's something and then he's from down here South Florida so I'm like oh yeah that bias kicked in too so then I fell in love I was like man I'm ready let's please let's get Lamar Jackson and then as the drafts went on and the Ravens kept trading down and when the Saints traded all the way up I was thinking oh man they're gonna pick Lamar Jackson no no don't do it they gonna pick Lamar Jackson then they then they got Marcus Davenport I was like whoo then Ravens kept trading down trading down trading down then they drafted Hayden Hurston I was like ah thought that was gonna be Lamar now the Patriots probably gonna get them Patriots didn't get them it was the 32nd pick Ravens traded back in they traded up with the Eagles and they picked Lamar Jackson I went crazy I went crazy but I wouldn't have traded that for Russell Wilson and not that it would have been a bad trade because again Russell Wilson is nice Russell was would have automatically became the best quarterback that the Ravens ever had if they would have traded for him and the team that they could have possibly built around him it would have been some series but again you Ravens would have had to pay him and Ravens they they weren't in the best shape to to pay a quarterback a lot of money who was coming up do for a big contract very soon but for me it wouldn't just have been about the pay it would have just been about the few and again the immediate future Russell Wilson oh yeah no problem no problem the long-term future again the deals like Russell Wilson just got paid like what a year or two ago Lamar and he ain't due for another like two years or another year yeah another year or two but just thinking about the future that what he could bring to the team and I mean we see what he brought we see what he brought his first season start and he got MVP and he sat out nine quarters so maybe the Browns were thinking along those lines again about just the future long-term future and they while they love Russell Wilson and definitely respect Russell Wilson they weren't like they were like you know what no we invested in our future we invested in the long term I mean cuz that stuff happens with all of us we can get these these little quick fixes we can get these oh we a lot of us ready for the here and the now and we want things right away but we don't think about stuff long-term it's like what what food coming out the microwave tastes better than food that comes out the oven or even on a grill you know I'm definitely biased to the grill I love the grill tell me that what food coming out the microwave tastes better than food that's coming out the oven or coming off the grill there's nothing nothing because the microwave water food is still good then and I ain't complaining about no food but water food is still good now that food is done quickly it's short term but you put it on the grill you put it in the oven you got to wait for it but it tastes so much better and I'm saying that so far Baker Mayfield he hasn't been better than Russell Wilson but again the Browns I think the biggest thing was that they were invested in a long-term so we'll see how everything works out but I just I can't get on them about not trading for him I can understand if you do but for me I see it from both sides man yeah they could have traded for him had a real nice quarterback boom but again they maybe they would just have super invested on Baker Mayfield and he felt like they like Baker Mayfield fit them and what they're trying to do and what they were trying to go for the future anyway team keep it clean I love y'all I appreciate y'all and I'm out


This is the time when our faith, either we have it or we don't. Take care, take caution, but this is not the spirit behind the voices that you're hearing. They say through the media and so forth, all of the events that are taking place and everything that's connected to it, and you keep hearing that, and these voices are having influence. Here we go. There are voices within. I don't know if this is coming up where it's coming up, but help me. Voices within. Go back to that one. Help me in the back, back there. There you go. That's good. Voices within. When you read about this, you'll find in Luke chapter 12 verse 17, an example. I won't go to all of this because I don't have time, but this voice speaks from the senses from a humanistic point of view. This is the man and the story in the Bible where he has built, he's built a barn and he's filled it up and he has this feeling, I need to enlarge what I'm doing. So the voice within him said, go ahead and do this. And yet God's voice comes later and says, thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee. So every one of us are dealing with the voices within. And then there is number two, the voices without Luke 2321. Luke 2321, if you want to look over there real quick, you can see it maybe on your paper. Luke 2321, these are the voices that were outside when Jesus, an innocent man, after being examined by Pilate, by Caiaphas and others, and Pilate comes back and says, I find no fault with him, but the rhetoric, listen to me, look at me, the panic, the fear, all of that drove a crowd that just days before hollered Hosanna and laid down palm branches and closed to welcome Messiah on the donkey. A few days later, they're in such a fear that they scream, crucify him. These are the voices that are without the voices that speak from a worldly influence. My friends, you're going to run into them tomorrow on your job in the mall, wherever it is that you're at, you're going to run into people that are more in listen, wait a minute, I might be talking to folks in here who are more influenced by what they're saying on the news and what somebody is repeating in your head than what this book says. I'm going to stop right here and say this to you, the voices within and the voices without can only be combated by the voice of the Lord. There are the voices number three below. John 10 and 10, the Bible says that the thief comes but for to steal, kill, and to destroy. But Jesus said, I've come to give you life and life more abundantly. Isn't that powerful? He says in chapter number four, the voice that comes in the wilderness, the voice that is below, the voice of the enemy. This is the voice of the enemy. Remember the voice of the enemy that was had such a disdain and such desire and thinking himself to be as God followed Jesus into the wilderness in Matthew four and says, if you are the son of God, if you are always questioning whether or not he was the son of God and Jesus came back with the word, with the word, with the word. I can assure you you're dealing with all of these voices right now. The voices that are within, the voices that are without, the voices from below, but the voice that you need to listen to is the voice that is coming from above. John 10, verse 26 and 27, we said it to you already, read it to you. Jesus said, my sheep know my voice. I know them and they follow me. I want to ask you, do you know the voice of the Lord? If you know the voice, if you don't know the voice of the Lord, you are too far away and I can assure you there'll be another voice, one of these other three that will fill that gap right there. And the next thing you know, the victory you got on Sunday, you will have lost it by Wednesday because you didn't solidify your faith upon faith and line upon line, precept upon precept. Ladies and gentlemen, get you some of this bread right here. This is the living bread. Faith comes by hearing, hearing by the word of God. If you listen to too much of that out there and the voices even on the inside of you, it'll steal all the faith you've got. And ladies and gentlemen, it'll leave you in a place where you don't even believe that God is able, but I came to tell you above coronavirus, above the terrorists, above a summer bin Laden and all the rest of them that's ever coming on, there is a God in heaven, hallelujah, who holds all the power in his hand. I think you ought to take a second, clap your hands in here and let the devil know where your faith is at tonight. I need you to know how and what the voice of God sounds like. So here we go. God's voice rules by faith, not fear. It rules by faith, not fear. So when God speaks to you, you can always know it's going to be a word of faith.  Let the peace of God. That word rule there means umpire. You know what the umpire does?  So when you're sitting down listening or you're driving in the car listening to the radio, listening to the news, listening to all this stuff, go on, let the Holy Spirit, the God of peace who speaks faith and not fear discern for you what is good and what is not good. And if it's not good, turn on something that's going to build your faith up, ladies and gentlemen. You can't afford to be without faith in this hour. You don't know when you're going to need it. Somebody said, well pastor, what if I get sick? That's where that faith comes in. Put your faith on the line. Call for the elders of the church.  Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for us to believe that God is who he says he is. And if we don't, then let's run out of here. He doesn't rule by panic. So that means everything that's going on right now that's inciting panic is not of God. God has got a peace. If the news media and others wanted to really help us, they would help bring hope and peace and real answers instead of giving us 30 minutes of problems with no answer. But you know what? That's not their job now, is it? Guess whose job it is? We're the keepers of the good news. We're the keepers of peace. Have you got peace tonight? Come on, somebody. In the middle of all that's going on right now, have you got peace in your heart?  Come on, somebody. Be sensitive to the spirit of God. You're driving down the road and suddenly you sense a disturbance in your peace. Whether or not you turn to the right or to the left at the stop sign, listen to the voice of the Lord. Whichever direction his peace turned that way. Pastor, it's the long way around. It'll bring you peace. You'll take a tour of scenic highway, whatever that it is. Keep the peace of God ruling your heart. Number two, the voice of the Lord rules by faith and not fear. You know this passage of Scripture, you're going to quote it. Everybody else is right now. They just don't believe it. God's not giving you the spirit. How do I know fear is a spirit? Because the Bible says so. God's not giving you the spirit of fear. So fear is the spirit. Well, what then did he give me if I'm a child of God? He gave me. God's not giving you the spirit of fear, but power, love, and how many of you know we need a sound mind going on right now? Is this helping anybody right here? Anybody's faith getting up on this? Number three, God's voice rules by being patient, not pushy. Isaiah 52 and 12 says, don't be doing anything in haste. You get the phone call from somebody and they say, listen, so one of the employees told me the other day said, Pastor, what do I do? They called up and said, they got to have an answer in 24 hours. I said, hang the phone up. Don't let nobody push you into decision. If you don't run, you need to hurry down here and sign this document. The devil is a lie. That's completely a, the devil's always pushing you into a decision. If you don't have time to pray about it, then it must be from the devil. Leave it alone. Well, Pastor, it's a great, it's a great thing. I mean, we can buy a gold nuggets. All you're going to do is get spray painted rocks. You better wait on the Lord. It's a, if it's a first, listen, if it's truly forgot from God and it's truly for you, it'll be there after you pray and ask the Lord. He operates by patience, not pushy. God's voice rules by good things, not bad. Philippians 4 8. He says, listen, with all this bad news that's going on, if there's any good, if there's anything virtuous, if there's anything lovely, if there's anything, and he goes into all this litany of telling us how and what to think. If you don't arrest your mind, I've already taught this mind series. I might need to teach it again.  How can I know that God wants us to think good, good things, because that's how he thinks. He's a good God who desires good things for his people. He's a loving God. He doesn't lie. Come on. All of those things, he says, think on these things. Number five, God's voice rules by the word of God and not the opinions of men. Bible says there in 2 Timothy 3 that the word of God is good for reproof and rebuke and exhortation. He said this thing is not written by men, but men were inspired of the Holy Ghost to write down what it's going to take for you to have faith. And if you'll read this, faith is coming. Tonight while you're sitting here, faith is coming at you. Take hold of it.  You might not think you need it right now, but when you wake up tomorrow morning, listen, I didn't know all, I didn't even check the news until late this afternoon. And then I see when I pulled up some of the places that I go to to find the news, here it is that the World Health Organization has called it a pandemic. So now everything's changing. By this time tomorrow morning, or by tomorrow morning when you wake up, everything could be changing, changing all over again. The numbers have changed, all that. You cannot let that put you in a state of fear. Bible says this, let me give you this real quick. The Bible says I will praise him in the day and I will praise him at night. The words praise there are two different things. I think it's Psalm 113. Two different things right there. Praise him during the day. The day and the night is not necessarily talking about the light outside or the darkness outside. It's talking about the darkness that's going on around the world. So what do I, and the word pray there, praise there is actually pray. So I praise him when I can see things and I pray when I can't see things. That was just free. So if I know what God's voice sounds like, what is the devil's voice speaking? Here it is. Number one, he always challenges God's word just like he did in the beginning.  No devil, that's actually not what he said at all. He said I couldn't eat of this tree, but I could eat of all these other trees. He started out with a lie. He challenges God's word. But if you don't know God's word, if you're in biblical ignorance, then he could tell you whatever and you'll believe it. That's the reason why you've got to give the word in. Well, Pastor, I can't digest all of this. Get you one verse and keep repeating it over and over and over all day long until it gets so embedded in your spirit. Trust me, this word is not just some letters on a page. This is the living word. So somebody said, told me the other day, said, yep, said my favorite verse is Jesus wept. Well, you know what? Once you got that one down, move on to another one. But if you got to say every day, Jesus wept. Well, what did he weep over? He wept over my soul. He wept over this world. He wept over Jerusalem. Come on somebody and just expand and meditate upon that. I can assure you the devil will get tired of hearing that same verse over and over and over again because he'll know you're starting to believe what you're saying. Number two, Satan's voice speaks to pull you away from faith in the cross. I cannot drill this into you enough tonight, ladies and gentlemen. I call this the coronavirus versus the cross because that's where the coronavirus died more than 2000 years ago. You didn't hear what I said? I said long before it ever arrived on the backside of a Clorox white bottle or a Lysol white bottle, the power of Jesus Christ at the cross defeated death, hell, and every disease that has ever been known, unknown, or will be known to man. He's already defeated it. You got to realize that if the devil can pull you away from the cross and keeping your faith at the cross, you're defenseless against him. So he'll talk you away from it.  This is where we are. You know why some churches and pastors are panicking? Because they have whittled it down to one service a week and now they can't financially sustain themselves. What are we going to do? Let's get some chicken dinners together. Problem, we can't afford the chicken. Come on. I'm just telling you how this whole thing's rolling today.  Because I don't know. Tonight there are churches not having service because they called it off and the government said you can't have a gathering. What are you going to do? What are you going to do if that happens in pace? I mean you're not here when I'm saying the state governor of Washington said you are banned from gathering. Banned. Banned. What you going to do? Have you got enough faith to sustain you? Come on somebody. Some of y'all live in paycheck to paycheck and you're living spiritual paycheck to paycheck. You only get your fill whenever you hit one of these services and if you miss one you're in a deficit, non-sufficient funds. You better be able to sing your own song, make your own melody in your heart. Come on somebody. Please, that's the reason why I go to Guatemala. It's the reason why I go to the mission field because it constantly reminds me that if I have to get out and walk to church, that went over like a lead balloon didn't it? No gas. You can't touch the pump handle because you might get corona. I'm not making this up. This is where we are. We're in a state of panic where people are paralyzed. Somebody are thinking about it right now. You got to go to the store tomorrow and if you don't get faith in your spirit and sing a song under the Lord while you're pushing that buggy by the time you get to the romaine lettuce, you're going to think about every pesticide and every disease that's ever been sprayed on that piece of lettuce and you'll say I can't afford the organic, but are you hearing what I'm saying? Satan, his voice comes to pull you away from the cross. Number three, he comes when you are physically and spiritually weak. That's when he wants to talk to you. When you're worn out, tired. Oh, believe me, I've been the victim of it. Worn out and tired and he'll, I mean, I had a pastor friend call me the other day and said pastor, I need you to pray for me. I'm, I'm tired. I'm worn out. Feel like giving up, throwing my hands up. I've had two churches called just, just within the past 24 hours saying pastor, can you help us? Can you plan a satellite church where we are? I'm telling you the truth. Can you, can you send us a pastor? Can you, can you plan a church? One pastor told me late this afternoon. He said pastor, we, we, we've been worn out. We, we've been in the throws now for two years of recovery in the hurricane in Panama city and I've resigned my position and my wife and I are going to just, we're just going away with our kids just to get our sanity. You just pray for us. Can I say something to you? I hope you don't just come to church and go out, come to church and go out and not get involved because here's the deal, whether you like it or not, people are looking at this church to this church and to the people in this church and that camera spins around and you're standing there asleep or picking your nose or whatever you're doing and not engaged in worship. I don't think you realize we have a church in Texas that's watching us right now, right now. Their whole congregation is there watching this service right now. They depend on this Wednesday night service for spiritual food. It's not the only, only table they're eating off of, but it is the lifeline. I cannot stress to you how important you are to the kingdom because in the days that are ahead, I have told you this for several years that Pace Assembly is uniquely positioned, uniquely positioned to be able to minister to people. In recent weeks I've held pastors who have been on the edge, some that have been in the ministry for 40 plus years that said, one particular couple said, Pastor, I am, I said, no, you're not. You got 45 years in this thing. I said, I'll tell you what we're going to do because this is the heart of Pace Assembly.   And tonight, ladies and gentlemen, he and his wife are standing in their pulpit, continuing in ministry, unknown even to their congregation, but they're standing in faith right now because this church stood in the gap to keep another soldier on the front line. I'm hurrying. I'm done. Number four, Satan's voice appeals to the flesh, always talking to your flesh. He said, if he did it to Jesus, he's going to do it to you. Number five, he comes to accuse you constantly.  Come on, somebody. You got it. Yeah. How you feeling? Oh, I'm a little weak. Yeah, you got it. No diagnosis, no doctor, no test, no nothing. You have to have faith embedded in your spirit that at that moment it explodes with the word of God and with praise out of your mouth. Turn on the praise music as loud as you can, wake up your kids, everybody that's sleeping in. Come on, we're getting, I know it's Saturday morning. We're going to praise God around here. Now get up and cut the grass. Three things that you can always count on. Number one, Satan always misquotes the scripture. Number two, he always speaks lies always. I don't care what it sounds like. Pastor, that sounds pretty true to me. Pretty true. Not all the way true. Number three, he always questions your faith. Always, always questions your faith. Now I know the fear is real, my friends, and there's no doubt about it, but the people of God have got to place their faith in the crucified Christ. And don't doubt the power of God in the face of the unknown. Fear and faith are battling and Jesus, the Bible says this when Jesus went to Nazareth, his own hometown. Listen to me, he could not do many miracles because of unbelief in the city. People lost their faith. In his own hometown he couldn't perform miracles of healing like he wanted to. What's going to happen if the church loses its faith at this critical hour and your hands could be healing hands? Fear kept the woman from going to the doctor and the Bible says she steadily grew worse, suffered many things of many physicians, the Bible said. Listen to this voice until she heard Jesus was coming to town. And she said, watch this, she said, now this gives you a license to talk to yourself.  She said within herself, if I can but touch the hem of his garment, I know I shall be made whole. That is not a statement of fear. Jesus touched the unclean, the lepers, the lepers, the coronavirus of the day. He laid hands on them and rebuked the leprosy. The blind, he opened their eyes. The disease, the Bible says. We don't know all the diseases, but there were many contagious and watch this. They didn't know that somebody just across town had the same thing they did because they didn't have ABC, NBC, MSNBC, Fox News, and all the rest of them to pound fear into their heart, to tell them that there's somebody across towns got the same thing you do. And they died. Come on church. Are y'all with me here? The Bible says when Jesus got through touching them, they were all made whole. The pulpit has diluted the gospel message until the atonement is not even preached. And I want to tell you something. We used to sing it. We used to sing it that the cross is a double cure, saved from wrath and made me pure. The cross is not just for you salvation. The cross is the healing power of Christ, the atoning power of Christ. By his stripes we are healed. So believe. This could be the greatest opportunity for believers to be used of God in your lifetime in mind. Stop listening to the voices of fear, doubt, and unbelief and listen to the voice of God in his word. Keep your faith firmly planted, nailed to the cross of Jesus Christ. Corona means crown, but it's a false crown. It has no power over Christ's crown. Jesus is Lord over all things, including germs, virus, death, hell, and the grave. And if my faith in God and in the cross and I know him and I trust him, then my faith then is the most important and powerful weapon against all the fear that is coming against my life. If you're afraid, get close to God in his word. Get close to God in prayer. Keep your faith in the right place, not in the voices of the news and the naysayers and the doubters and the skeptics. Faith must reside in the object that is capable of dealing with every dominion of our life, past, present, and future. When you listen, God is a God of the now. That means this, that God's held up the word. The Bible says the world's by the power of his word. Did you hear what I just said? And so that word has been holding everything up. It's been holding you together, ladies and gentlemen. The word of God holds us all together. So whatever disease and the sickness and germs did not originate today. They have always been so that God, who is the same yesterday, today and forever can reach into the past and cause the plague that was on your great, great grandmother to die because the word of the Lord is forever settled in past, present, and future. How do you know it, pastor? Because he's Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today and


So we're backstage here at Vantastable with MPS Ghost 2 and sitting beside me is the wonderful fight like apes, lads, how are you getting there? Good! Jamie, Jamie, I'm going to ask for your life story, right? Because we're lads, we're DCU students and I hear you've got a pass in DCU. You wear a journal, are you? I was, I went to journalism in DCU, yeah. What happened? I dropped out. Okay, okay. Why did you drop out? I couldn't cut the mustard.  I'm really glad I dropped out. It's because there wasn't such an active media production society there when you were there, wasn't it? 100%. Absolutely. Okay, and your nickname was pockets, right? It is, yeah. Why is that? Because I always have lots of things in my pockets. You always have pockets. No, you always steal things from people. Yeah. Okay guys, so you've been on the road since 2006, is that right? Not constantly. Not constantly, so sometimes you've been off the road. Yeah. And you've been on the field as a... Yeah. And rumor has it that your first ever contract was signed on a bar counter in Spain. Am I correct there? Well, Jamie is... What? I was going to say something terrible there. Jamie is what? Jamie is what you were going to say. And it's terrible. Jamie's a thief. Jamie made me sign a contract on a piece of paper on a tissue in a bar in Spain saying that I would only work musically with him. That was really scary.  I don't mind telling you I was 15. Where are you? I was. And what age were you, Jamie, if you don't mind me asking? 27. 26. Where did the thieves come from? Bottle for the planet thieves or Bottle of the planet thieves? In France it was called Bottle of the planet thieves, but in Ireland I believe it was called Bottle of the planet thieves. That was terrible.  Yeah, that's good. There's beauty in living away. There is. Oh, there completely is. I actually did BuzzFeed Quiz on how much of a bad movie enthusiast you were. I think I got 56 out of 100. That's terrible. So it's not. Is it terrible in a good way? No, it's just terrible. It's mediocre. It's up in the mouth. Oh, that's an awful bar to use. In the mediocre person. Middle of the road. Right, guys. What's coming up for a fight like this? Have you anything new coming out? Release the NEP this month called the Wigfield sex tape. Lovely. And we're going to the UK on Wednesday for gigs. And guys, have you got any more festivals coming up for the summer? In the UK we do. We hope they have our album out about this in September, October. So hopefully we'll do loads more. Our festival's next summer. We just didn't want to overdo it this summer. Cool. And obviously we'll find that album everywhere. You will? Okay, cool. Indeed. I noticed that you got lovely, lovely eye makeup. I was actually going to talk about how the copper complements their role. You've got no metallic colours going on. Well, to us. Do you have body paint? French champagne. I had painted my body before, but now I'm not today. Every time that woman painted you entirely silver and you looked so sad. And you just painted totally silver, just sat in a chair, just like... Why did I let this girl sit down? I'm going to go next. But if you want, we can paint you with this office pen marker later. So thanks for being with us. Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you for watching. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye.

Around Dodge City and in the territory on West, there's just one way to handle the killers and the spoilers, and that's with the U.S. Marshal and the smell of gun smoke. Gun smoke, starring William Conrad, the story of the violence that moved West with young America, and the story of a man who moved with it. I'm that man, Matt Dillon, the United States Marshal. The first man they look for and the last they want to meet. It's a chancey job, and it makes a man watchful, and a little lonely. You don't have to walk me all the way, Doc. Oh, it's a pleasure, Kitty. I don't often get to be seen with a beautiful woman. Oh, Doc. Yeah, that's true. And what's more, you know it. Oh, there you go. And I was just beginning to enjoy myself. Uh-uh, there's Matt. He just came out of his office. Let's go say hello to him. You're sitting down. We better hurry before he comes. He's asleep. Wish I had a job like his. Say, where's Chester these days, anyway? Yeah, he's still visiting a friend out at Port Dodge, some old army pal from the war. Is he ever coming back? Of course he'll be back. Truth is, he gets tired of the cooking out there, doesn't he? There's Matt. You've got company. Hello, Matt. Oh, hello, Kitty.  Oh, thank you. Just for a minute. I've got to get to work pretty soon. Have you been shopping? Yeah, but I didn't buy anything.  Well, that's different. Oh, you did? Well, sure. No, no, no. Don't explain it to me now. It's too hot today. Yes. Who's this? I don't know. He's a stranger to me. Well, he's from Texas. That's for sure. Look at that rain. Yes, Marshal. You're wearing a star, maybe you're him. I said I'm a stranger. You're Matt Dillon? That's right. Oh. Well, I'm Phil Jacks, Marshal. With a herd of 3,000 San Sabercattans, about five days' drive from here. Name of the trail boss is Dolph Quince. Dolph Quince? Well, he was in here last year. Give him my regards, would you? Well, he says for you to ride back with me, Marshal. What? That's all he said, me to bring you back. Can't you tell me what it's all about? It's about Kansas, Marshal. Kansas? We don't like it. Oh, you're running into trouble, huh? About to quit driving cattle and turn into an army, Marshal. Yeah.  Meet me here in about a half hour, and I'll go with you. Drop your saddle anyway, Marshal. I'll turn your horse in with a remute. Yeah. All right. Thanks, Jacks. And the Dolph Quince will be over there by the fire somewhere. Okay. How are you, Marshal? Good to see you again. Hey, it's fresh meat in camp. Ask the cook for a plate. Oh, thanks. I will. I'll go with you. I need some more coffee. You like Buffaloville? One of the boys wrote me a shot of cap this morning. Sure, I like it fine.  Full of muter broke loose. Hey, cook, give this man a plate of meat. Yeah, sure thing, dog. Yeah, it looks mighty good, doesn't it? Give me some coffee, will you? Yeah. Thank you. An ester woman came to the bedground for a day like this morning to ask if we had any little calves that had been dropped during the night. She probably picks up calves from all the herds that pass this way. We'd have to get rid of them anyway. So I'll let her have them, even if she was a Kansan. Oh. You know, if it had been a Kansas man asked for calves, I don't think I could have talked these boys into allowing it. How's that so? It sure is, Martin. Tell me, Dolph, have you seen any Kansas J-Hawkers on the way up? How'd you know? That's a pretty good guess. Two nights ago, some of them J-Hawkers managed to sneak up on Snot over there when he was out on guard. They stripped him and clogged him and stampeded the cattle. They had our hands full for the next few hours, so he might have caught up with them. Any trouble since? Not yet.  There's nothing but shifty, murderous criminals. They got started on the Missouri border during the war, and they got the taste of blood in their mouths, and, you know, it's like I got no place to go. We can show them a place. They're bandits, that's all. If you got bandits in Texas, but that doesn't make every Texan one, does it? It's kind of hard to make men see it that way, Martian. Well, I know it is. I just hope they understand it before a regular war breaks out. Another visit with Joe and Daphne Forsythe. And the moon is beating. Oh, let Daphne hold it. Oh, hi, Joe. Guess what, honey? I'm trying out for the operetta. As what? A singer. You could have fooled me. I was just practicing one of the songs. Well, I don't think you quite fit the role. Why not? Well, if this version of the student prince is like the version I know, that particular number is sung by a tenor. Oh. Not that you don't come close, but I think you better stick to being a housewife. But I want to be a singer. Daphne, honey, a singer you'll never be. I could take lessons. Yeah, but lessons cost money. Money better invested for us in savings bonds. You and your old savings bonds. I can't help it, honey. I just can't get over the way those savings bonds pay off. Four dollars for every three. That's what I call an investment. What good do they do me now? A lot. The money we put in those bonds every pay they helps keep America strong and protects you and me. No bonds, maybe no operetta. Ever think of that? I still want to be a singer. Well, when those bonds start bringing in the green, if you still want to sing, they'll pay for the lessons and more. Good. Gee, if those bonds mature as fast as you say, I better start practicing now just so that I'll be ready. Overhead the moon is being... Daphne. Daphne, did anyone ever tell you you have a bad voice? Everyone. Hello, doll. Marshall. Jax. Join me if you don't mind. Sit down, Jax. Been sitting here drinking coffee complaining to Marshall about our welcome in Kansas. Yeah. I heard a trail driver's buying off him, J Hawkers. Two, three dollars ahead. Now, let's see. Three thousand cattle. It cost us... I'm paying nobody nothing. Well, they ain't asked us yet, but I'll kill the first one I see anyway. Marshall, one reason I wanted you to come down here was to ride with us a few days. Get to know the boys, little. You're in a bad temper, and when they hit Dodge, they're gonna be looking for Kansas scouts. All right, I'll ride with you. I figured you would. See, Marshall, the way we look at it, the good citizens of Dodge are out to fleece us anyway. And on top of that, they hire gunfighters to shoot us as soon as we kick up our heels a little. Now, all in all, it makes for a bad feeling. There's some misunderstanding on both sides, I guess. Yeah, you and I know that. They don't, Dolph. I'm here for God's sake. What? Strangers just rode up the remute over there and asked for a job. I told them to eat first. Where is it? I'll go get it. So, Dolph, I'd like to stand the guard tonight. I have no need for that. Now, if I'm riding with you, I'll do my share of the work. All right. You go out with a second watch. Ryan, go give you a night horde. Thanks. Here he is, Dolph. Quince, trail boss. Mr. Quince. Quince will do. Well, my name's Studer. Kyle Studer. You lost? I don't know what you mean. Well, you know we're only four days' drive out of Dodge? I was wondering, could you use a hand? Four days? That'd help. You must be awful hungry. I thought maybe you'd be driving past Dodge. I'm not. But we'll feed you from here to Dodge if you work. I won't pay you anything, though. I haven't got the money. I don't need a hand anyway. Fair enough. Hey, by the way, where are you from? Colorado. Then you ain't a cancel. No. Good.  You'll be on a third watch tonight, Studer. All right.  Yeah. If that's all he's looking for. What do you mean? Just an old habit of mine, Doc. I wouldn't be alive if I trusted everybody on first sight. You don't trust this fellow? Oh, he's probably all right. Still, I'd keep him in camp unless it's daylight. I wouldn't put him on night guard. All right. Marshall, I always thought I led a hard life. Till now, I think you beat me. I just got shot at more than you, and so... Maybe that's it. Hey, you better stretch out somewhere. You'll be out singing to those cow broods in two hours. Yes. Well, I'll see you later, Doc. Breakfast at four. You'll find it don't take long to stay all night at this ranch. I didn't have much chance that night to get to know the boys on guard. Two of us rode around the herd in opposite directions, singing or humming a little to let the cattle know where we were. And after two hours, we were relieved by the third watch. But at breakfast the next morning, the men treated me a little less like a gunfighter hired to shoot them when they got to dodge. After the cattle had grazed for a few miles, we got them on the trail, and I started to forget that I was a lawman myself. Jackson and I were riding the swing of the herd when Dolph Quinn sloped up behind us.  It doesn't hurt if I can sleep all winter like you do. Where would you spend your money? I already offered to trade jobs with him, Dolph. Hey, look, you two crossed the simmer on yesterday. What's it like? The water's gone down. You won't have any trouble. I was also thinking about the sand. Well, it was sound where we were, Dolph. Yeah, then we'll cross right there. You go up ahead and ride point, Jackson. Lead us to it. All right. Take that new fellow stutter with you. I don't need him. I want him up front where I can see him. Oh, okay.  Oh, lose many cattle? 30 head. Couldn't even dig your tails out. You know, Dolph, I sometimes wonder if it's worth it to you driving cattle up here. Texas is bankrupt, Marshall. War broke us. All we got is these wild longhorn cattle. Yeah, I know. Well, maybe there'll be an easier way someday. We'd starve waiting for the railroad. I suppose so. Anyway, the Santa Sabra herd of yours is the first to reach Dodge this year. The price is pretty high.  I hope so. Money in your pocket, Dodge. Get off for high-class entertainment. Almost anything you'd want. Well, the boys will be... Hey, that's up ahead. Come on. Look, he's got a blanket. He's starting to stay in peace. Yeah. Is that Jack's horse running loose? Yeah, and here's Jack's lying on the ground. Just shot him, Marshall. That man with a blanket, that stutter. Go on after him, Doc. You take care of Jack's. Go the cattle there.  Get him alive. I'll get it. Ellen. Ellen. Hi there. What are you doing? I'm memorizing my wife's name. You, a memory expert? What happened? I called her Joanne. Oh. I was nearly a hospital case. Which brings us to the subject of Medicare. I knew you'd work it in somehow. Why not? Sooner or later, Medicare comes into the lives of every serviceman and his dependent. Well, you sure did it into mine a lot. Excuse me. I got to get back to my memory work. Hazel. Hazel. Hazel. You know, I've got a hunch somebody is going to need medical care real soon. To learn how Medicare helps your family get the pamphlet, Dependence, Medical Care Program. Maryland. Maryland. Maryland. As I followed stutter, a few shots passed my head, but they didn't come from him. They came from behind a small rise he was headed for. Whoever was shooting was still too far away from me for me to worry about. I wanted to take care of stutter first and slowly the distance between us closed. I pulled my rifle out of the boot and I snapped one off at him. He threw up his hands and pitched forward out of the saddle. I glanced at him as a road passed and crossed him off as one Jay Hawker less. I reached the rise, I jumped off of my horse and I ran up it on foot and near the top I got down and I crawled. I poked my head over. There was only one man in sight. The other Jay Hawkers if there had been and he had disappeared. This one was a foot and running for his horse. So I took my time and I put a shot into the candle of his saddle. Horse bolted and the man dropped behind a rock and lay there. There was only half covered so I stood up. A step at a time I started torching down the hill. Far enough, mister. Going back. You're in pistol range now. All right fella, put down and come forward. All I want is a horse and I'll get out of here. We won't bother you no more. Yes, sure won't. Just let me on the horse. Listen to me, I'm a United States Marshal. You give up and I promise you there'll be no lynching. You'll get a fair trial. No.  Let me go. I'm warning you. I'm coming after you. You just had to try it, didn't you?  Yeah. I brought Snyder with me. At the weapon they gave me the other night I figured he deserved to be in on this. Guess I'm too late. Looks like the Marshal's done taking care of everybody.  I don't think I'd mind, Marshal. Yeah, I know. Tell me about House Jack's.  He was a good man. The boys have got the lead cattle turned. They'll let them mill around for an hour and then graze them out. Uh, Snyder, I left my horse over the rise there. Would you get him for me? Yeah, sure. It's like you walked right down onto this man. How I tried to take him alive like you asked. I just wanted to hang in myself. Anyway, I'm glad he's dead. Yeah, sure. Marshal will be burying Jack's out here. I'm wondering if you might know how to do it. Maybe a prayer or something? Well, I tried, huh? Let's get back in. We got back to where Jack's had fallen. The cook had driven the chuck wagon up and was busy fixing coffee for the men, even though it was far from noon. The cattle were spread out and feeding now, and one by one the men rode up sober, quiet. Just a glance at Jack's where he lay covered by a saddle blanket. The grave was soon dug, and with the end gate of the chuck wagon for a headstone, so Jack was placed on the ground and covered with prairie earth. Their hats in their hands, the Texas men had watched the service in silence. When it was done, they turned and walked away.  What? I smuggled a quart of wagon yard whiskey out of dodge when I came down here. The cook's got it hidden in the chuck wagon. Well, now, Marshal... That's not much, but it'll cut the alkali in your drinking water. Why don't you get it and pass it out to the men, huh? Might have decent of you, Marshal. Always wants a drink of Marshal's whiskey. Get on over to the chuck wagon. There's times when a drink's good for a man, Marshal. I guess this is one of them. I think Jack should approve. You sure would.  Huh? It ain't changed their minds about Kansans much, but maybe they think a little more highly of the law around here, or the kind of gunfighter hired by the law anyway. Ah, that's good. Of course it don't mean they won't hurrah dodge a little when we get there. I expect that. Sure. Come on, we got a drink coming out of that bottle, too. Smoked.

The story of Dr. Kildare. Whatsoever house I enter, there will I go for the benefit of the sick. Whatsoever things I see or hear concerning the life of men, I will keep silence thereof. Counting such things to be held as sacred trusts. I will exercise my art solely for the cure of my sins. The story of Dr. Kildare, starring Lou Ayers and Lionel Barrymore. Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer brought you those famous motion pictures. Now this exciting, heartwarming series is heard on radio. In just a moment, the story of Dr. Kildare. But first, your announcer. One of the great citadel of the American medicine. A clump of gray white buildings planted deep in the heart of New York. The nerve center of medical progress. For great minds and skilled hands wage man's everlasting battle against death and disease. Blair General Hospital. Where life begins, where life ends, where life goes on. What are you looking at, Jimmy? You haven't moved from that window for 15 minutes. Just looking at the people down there in the street. Wondering how many of them are alive, because some doctor somewhere went through medical school and was there to help when they needed it. Wondering how many of them will have years added to their lives because of some doctor they haven't met yet. How many need a doctor at this moment and don't know it. Won't know it until it's too late. I wish it were possible to stand up here and establish some sort of contact with the man in the street. Why don't you just go down and set up a stall on the corner and examine every man that goes by? You're not in very good humor today, are you? What's the matter? Liver acting up again?  Your color's bad. My color's excellent.  If I could save one man's life out of each thousand that walks by down there, it'd be worth examining the thousands. Jimmy, if you don't have enough work to do around here, I can easily... There's plenty to do and I'm leaving to do it right now. Goodbye, Dr. Gillespie. Nice to have seen you. See you around. Oh, you'd better take something for that liver. Get out of here! Boy's getting too smart for his britches.  I'm terribly sorry. I didn't realize you wanted to be alone with your liver. What did you barge in here for, Miss Nosy? I am only in here because Dr. Carew phoned out and asked me to tell you that he was on his way down in Mr. Pendleton. Pendleton? Vernon Pendleton? That's what I said. The Vernon Pendleton that's on the board of directors of this hospital? Do you know of any other, Mr. Vernon Pendleton, that Dr. Carew would consider of sufficient importance to personally escort down to your office? It isn't fair. It isn't fair that I should get Pendleton again this year. I got him last year. Well, I'm sure Dr. Carew wants him to have the very best attention. After all, Mr. Pendleton donates a good deal of money to this hospital every year. Bear me the gruesome details, Vernon Pendleton. The only thing wrong with that man is that these in the last stages are being a hypochondriac. Come in! Ah, Dr. Gillespie, here you are. You remember Mr. Pendleton, don't you? Oh, yes, yes, of course. How are you, Mr. Pendleton? Poorly, Dr. Gillespie. Poorly. Oh, no. Oh, yes. Oh, where do you feel poorly this time, Mr. Pendleton? I'll tell you, Dr. Gillespie. If you two gentlemen would excuse me. Dr. Carew, just a moment, if you don't mind. Ah, yes. Mr. Pendleton, is it your stomach again? It's my stomach, my back, my arms, my legs, my head, my... Exactly, just as I thought, Mr. Pendleton. Evidently, I wasn't able to help you too much last year. Oh, I wouldn't say that, Dr. Gillespie. For a time, I may have improved. No, no, no, no, no. I wasn't able to help you or you wouldn't be back among us so soon. Now, Dr. Carew will tell you, we have a specialist on our staff much better equipped to handle your type of case. Oh, not better than you, Dr. Gillespie. Dr. Gillespie is just being modest. Well, now, your type of illness takes a very modern approach. And I can't think of anyone better equipped to handle someone who is having trouble with his stomach, back, arms, legs, and head than Dr. Kildare. Now, I... His office is right down hall. Dr. Carew will show you the way. I'm sure you'll find him more than satisfactory. Much as I regret losing you as a patient, I sincerely feel that Kildare is your man. Well, let's talk to Kildare, Carew. Very well, Mr. Pendleton. Of course, I don't know if he's in his office. He is, he is, he is. Then let's see him. Nice to have seen you, Dr. Gillespie. Glad to have seen you, Mr. Pendleton. That was not very nice of you, Dr. Gillespie. After all, Dr. Kildare doesn't know about Mr. Pendleton.   I don't know. That's what I expect you to tell me, Dr. Kildare. That's fair enough. And tell me how you've been feeling. Well, I've been feeling just terribly, Dr. Kildare. Simply terribly. My stomach hasn't been right. And I've had terrible headaches and trouble with my back. And I've had a shooting pain that comes and goes in my left elbow. And my eyes have been bothering me. And nothing I take for these things does a bit of good. You've been taking things? Oh, my stars, yes. I have a pill for my liver, a pill for my gallbladder, two pills for my headaches, three pills for my back, one pill for my eyes, one pill for the shooting pain in my elbow, a half dozen pills to help my general overall condition. And then, of course, I take practically every kind of vitamin on the market. Hmm. See. Very well, Mr. Pendleton. If you'll step into the next room and disrobe, I'd like to examine you. Oh, huh. Whatever you say, doctor. Attempting to establish contact with the man in the street again? I see you haven't done anything about that liver. Leave my liver alone. A man's entitled to some privacy. You're really in rare form today, doctor. Well, I trust you're the same. How are you coming on with Mr. Pendleton? I thought you were supposed to take care of the board of directors. Well, I thought it was only fair to give you a crack at some of them, too. One for all and all for one, you know. I don't like the expression on your face. I'll quit harping on my liver. This is not your liver. It's your attitude. There's something that's not quite kosher about all this. Dr. Kildare, you have an ugly, suspicious mind. Yes? Well, I didn't have before I met you. I'm ready, doctor. Your patient seems to be calling you, doctor. Thank you, Dr. Gillespie. My hearing is not impaired. Oh, and thank you for recommending the patient to me, Dr. Gillespie. The pleasure was all mine, Dr. Kildare. The pleasure was all mine. Good morning, Mr. Pendleton. Well, you're early for your appointment.  Just frightful. Really? Why was that? Well, I was so concerned about what news you'd have for me today. I want to tell you when a man gets to be my age, things like this are very hard to face. Well, Mr. Pendleton, I have very good news for you. You have? I certainly have. There's nothing wrong with you. There's no... Would you mind repeating that, Dr. Kildare? I said there's nothing wrong with you. But that's not true. That's not true. My head, my stomach, my back, my legs, my elbow... I've given you a complete and most thorough examination in your un-fine physical shape, Mr. Pendleton. I don't believe it. You're wrong. You've got to be wrong. I know how I feel. How could I feel like this if nothing was wrong with me? I want a more thorough examination. Mr. Pendleton, sometimes people magnify and imagine things until they think they're sick. When there's really nothing of any serious nature wrong with them at all. Oh, and they told me you were a good doctor. They said you were better than Gillespie. Why, you couldn't carry Gillespie's hypodermic needle. That's quite true, Mr. Pendleton. Dr. Gillespie is one of the great men of medicine in this country. The rest of us at best in his presence can merely be students. Dr. Gillespie was always able to find something wrong with me. Oh, then, undoubtedly, he also cured you of whatever was wrong with you. Now, you're in fine shape. Just forget about yourself. Take a few days' rest if you can, and you'll be feeling fit as a fiddle. Well, I'm not going to take this lying down, you know. I'm going to Dr. Karoo. We'll mighty soon see what he thinks about this report of yours. And you told me he was a good doctor. Well, he is a good doctor. There was nothing wrong with me. He stood right in front of me and looked into these eyes, these poor bloodshot eyes, these eyes that have suffered through endless nights. Just look at them. My, my. Well, what kind of doctors are you employing in this hospital? Oh, the best. The very best. Well, you may think they're the best, but I don't think much of them. If this is the kind of medical men my money is paying for, I'm going to take my support to some other hospital. No, no. Don't do that. Don't be hasty, Mr. Pendleton. There must be some mistake. Yes, some mistake. If I get to the bottom of it, have no fear about that. I'll get to the bottom of it. Nothing wrong with me, indeed.     Now you go home and rest, Mr. Pendleton. And I'll look into this matter. I'll give it my personal attention, Mr. Pendleton, to find something wrong with Vernon Pendleton. But there isn't anything wrong with him, Dr. Karoo. I've examined him from head right down to his little tauties, and believe me, he'll go a long way before you find a healthier specimen. Oh, well, Spirit happened, Joe. They must have had it at your school. And Pendleton. Sometimes things are done for the good of the team, for the good of the school. It's the old show must go on, Spirit, you know. You see what I'm driving at, don't you? Not so far. Sometimes we have to shut our eyes to certain things for the good of the hospital. Sometimes we have to tell people what they want here for the good of the hospital. And it isn't always wrong, Kildare. Sometimes the things that people want to hear turn out to be the things that do them the most good. Well, I'm not going to tell a man he's sick when he isn't. No, of course not. But Mr. Pendleton has a big body. There must be something wrong with it some place. Dr. Kildare. His head is a large contributor. Dr. Karoo, look at all those people down in the street. There's a multitude there that needs attention in your life. There's a multitude there that needs attention and you insist that a doctor waste time trying to find something wrong with Vernon Pendleton. Well, at least pretend to. Tell him you made a mistake or something new. Very well, Dr. Karoo.  I'll play ball with you. I'll show you the old team spirit. That's the idea, Kildare. Now you're cooking on a Bunsen burner. Hello, Sally. Kildare speaking. Send out an ambulance to pick up Mr. Vernon Pendleton. He's at the hospital. I want him put into one of the isolation rooms.  Got that? Thank you. Well, now that sounded like action not to Kildare. Dr. Karoo, I wasn't completely truthful when I said there was nothing wrong with Mr. Pendleton. That's the kind of talk I like to hear. There is something wrong, something terribly wrong. And I'm going to do my best to cure him of it. Oh, what is it? What are you going to do? I'm going to give Mr. Pendleton the special Kildare treatment for a hypochondriac. Have Dr. Kildare in just a moment? No. Dr.  Why have you got a mask on? Why does everybody wear a mask when they come in here? Just a precautionary measure, Mr. Pendleton. Maybe quite unnecessary, but until we find out the nature of your illness we can't be too careful. What are you taking a precautionary measure against Dr. Kildare? What do you think I might have? In the face of a mysterious malady such as yours we can't tell without extensive tests. We have to keep you in isolation until we are positive that you are in no way contagious. Contagious? Oh, dear me. Ah, here's Nurse Parker with your breakfast. Oh, her breakfast. Good morning, Mr. Pendleton. Let me crank up your bed. Yes, you're having a lovely cup of weak tea without cream or sugar and a delicious piece of dry toast. I don't like tea and dry toast. Mr. Pendleton, but that's all you can have just now. It's part of our first test. First test? Yes. After a while we're going to let you swallow a small soft rubber tube. I don't want to swallow a small soft rubber tube. Well, I know it isn't very pleasant but it's part of the stomach test, Mr. Pendleton. You are complaining of pains in your stomach, you know. Well, I don't have them now. Well, we want to find out why you've been having them. Do I have to swallow a hose to have you find out? Yes, I'm afraid you do. Because through that hose we're going to remove part of your breakfast in an hour and test it. My appetite's gone. I don't think I can eat a thing. I'm afraid I have to insist, Mr. Pendleton. After all, you wanted the thorough examination and I intend to be thorough. Well, yes, I know you can be thorough and then you can be thorough. There's no use getting carried away with this thing. Nurse, nurse, after he finishes eating I want some blood specimen. Oh, yes, Dr. Kildare. I'll be back a little later, Mr. Pendleton. Hope you enjoy your breakfast. Oh, breakfast. Nurse, nurse, this is the isolation wing, isn't it? Yes, it is, Mr. Pendleton. Oh, dear, I don't suppose many people leave these rooms alive. Oh, yes, several people have. Nurse, would you mind phoning my house for me? Not at all, Mr. Pendleton. And tell whoever answers to get hold of my attorney down here. Oh, your attorney. You want him to talk to Dr. Kildare about springing you? No, no, I want him to be sure my will is in order. Oh, you're not going to die, Mr. Pendleton. Too. No one could swallow a rubber tube and live. Now, it isn't that bad. No one's ever died from it yet. Of course, it isn't very comfortable. Really isn't much fun being sick. Is it, Mr. Pendleton? Give me another rubber tube to swallow. Now, Mr. Pendleton, Dr. Kildare wants you to drink this. Oh, what is it? It's a lovely glass of buttermilk with berry a minute. Oh, horrible. After you drink it, Dr. Kildare's going to look at you behind the fluoroscopic x-ray screen. Do you see anything? I see peristaltic waves. You see what? Peristaltic waves. Oh, is that serious? The contractions of the stomach. Oh, I feel worse than I did before I got in here. It always gets worse before it gets better. I'm going to make a new man out of you, Mr. Pendleton. Oh, I hope I live that long. Patient and isolation, Dr. Kildare. Have you found anything startling? Not so far.  He wanted a thorough examination. He even went to Karoo and demanded a thorough examination. You've been giving him the works, eh? Blood tests, ulcer tests, gallbladder tests. I wish I could have been there to see some of them. Well, if he was your patient, you could have been there. But you didn't want him as a patient, remember? How was he taking it? Like a man on the last lap of the last mile. He's had his attorneys down twice, making changes in his will. Well, he's probably cutting the hospital out of it. No, no, that's a funny part. He says this is the first efficient examination he's ever had. He may not be enjoying it, but he feels it's efficient. What's he getting next? Well, now he's going to swallow the rubber tube with the metal perforated tip. Oh! That is one of the most uncomfortable... Yeah, I wouldn't have the heart to do that to any man that didn't really need it. Well, you know, he doesn't need it. You pass the rubber tube through the stomach to the duodenum where it remains. The duodenal juices are collected and... Well, kindly spare me the classroom like your doctor killed there. I don't need any refresher course. Well, then you know that this test will enable me to study the secretion of the pancreas which plays an important part in Mr. Pendleton's digestion. And it's his stomach that he keeps complaining about. You're going to do all these things, waste all these examinations on a healthy man. I don't think they're going to be wasted, Dr. Gillespie. I hope through these examinations to bring Mr. Pendleton back to health. Care to come along and have a look at the patient? I certainly would, go ahead. Mr. Pendleton? Oh, Dr. Kildare, why you're not wearing your mask? Dr. Gillespie? Evening, Mr. Pendleton. It isn't necessary to wear masks any longer. It isn't necessary? That's right. There's no longer any need for it. Oh, you mean you've given me up for last? No, and I have no intention of giving you up for last. That's right, doctor. Keep fighting until the last. You will. Mr. Pendleton, do you know what it's like outside? No. Now there's a snap in the air. When you walk, you want to put your head back and take deep breaths. The air is like November wine. I've always liked this time of year. I have a small farm in Connecticut, and during the season I like to. I don't suppose I'll ever see it again.  Alive or dead? Very much alive. Mr. Pendleton, I've completed my examinations and tests. I know everything that a medical test can tell a doctor about a patient. I know what's wrong with you. Is it curable? It certainly is. Won't even be difficult to cure if you exert a little self-control. What is it? What is it, Dr. Kildare? Mr. Pendleton, you are the victim. Of what? Too many pills. The pills that you took for your elbow upset your stomach. The pills that you took for your stomach gave you those headaches. The pills that you took for your headaches upset your pancreas. In other words, you've been swallowing so much medicine that you've kept your whole system upset. Now, if you'll throw away the pills, you're going to be a new man. That's what I found out from all those tests. No more pills. No more pills. Not even one pill? No pills at all. Mr. Pendleton, I realize I'm depriving you of something. Yes, you certainly are. Ah, but he's giving you something in exchange, Mr. Pendleton. In exchange, he's giving you evenings to walk across that Connecticut countryside of yours. Days that you'll start out brisk and invigorated and eager to work. He's giving you nights when you'll sleep. He's giving you peace of mind and in time, a whole brand-new nervous system. Dr.  Dispending and enjoying life. I know, Dr. Gillespie. Oh, Dr. Kildare, you've taken a great load off my heart. I thought these last few days, I thought I'd reached the end now to know that I can leave here and go back to life. Dr. Kildare, you've given me a new lease on life. I sincerely believe I have, Mr. Pendleton. I hope you'll obey my instructions. Oh, you have my word, Dr. Kildare. I'll never take another pill unless you prescribe it. Then, Mr. Pendleton, I pronounce you sure. We will return to the story of Dr. Kildare. There's our world. You were right about Mr. Pendleton. He was sick, but somehow it did that never occurred to me. Your liver must really be acting up. Think I'll take you downstairs and examine it. Don't keep away from me now. My liver's fine. Couldn't be. This milk of human kindness comes from you only when your liver's getting very acute. My liver's all right. It really did feel a little pain in that region just now, but... Uh-huh. Confounded you're going to end up making a hypochondriac out of me. Look for the hospital. Kildare, you did a fine job and I'm proud of you. Thank you, Dr. Gillespie. In fact, you did such a good job that from now on we're going to send all the hypochondriac cases to you. A splendid idea, because I never saw a man handle a hypochondriac better than maybe you better have.
