Our high school sports previews carry on us tonight. We begin by taking a look at the Bemidji girls tennis team. They've had a lot of success in recent years, but things will be a little tougher this time around after losing multiple key pieces. The Jacks graduated five seniors last year, including players occupying three of the top positions, like Abby Kelm, who graduated with the most wins in school history. And returning players are eager to get back in action and hit the ground running. We're ready to play and we're not just experienced this year, but we're ready to get out on the courts. A talented freshman group has made things interesting at the bottom of the lineup as well as they look to make an impact. They're gonna push the older girls and we're seeing that this week already where right now there's literally 16 girls fighting for 10 spots. I think it's pretty even. Everybody's kind of fighting for those last couple spots that we've got left on the varsity, so it's pretty fun to watch. One thing passed down from last year's team, the importance of mental toughness, which is often the difference. They're also positive and they're also driven to play their best and we really want to bring that into this year's team. Talent-wise, they're really pretty even, but who can step up under match conditions and play tough and that's what we're looking for. I think the goal for the season is just to play your best game that you can and if we win, we win. If you don't, you tried your best, so you're good. I really have a good feeling that by the end of the year we're gonna be quite a bit better than we are at the beginning. I think all of our competition and practice is gonna make us tough. Bemidji starts off their season against Alexandria on Wednesday and then hosts Thief River Falls the same night under the lights.

The challenge of the Yukon is King with this and strongest lead dog of the North country, blazing the trail for Sergeant Preston of the Northwest Monod Police in his relentless pursuit of lawbreakers. Un-King! Un-King! Gold, gold discovered in the Yukon, a stamp paid to the Klondike in the greedy race for riches. Now back to the days of the gold rush when Sergeant Preston and his wonder dog King battled through storm and snow to preserve law and order as they met the challenge of the Yukon. Three men sat in Sam Bartlett's cabin, their feet stretched toward the big iron stove. Sam was the owner of the Golden Ace Cafe and his prosperity was reflected in the size and unusual comfort of his home. Jim Taylor, a prospector and Sergeant Preston of the Northwest Monod Police were Sam's visitors. At the Mounties feet lay his big lead dog King, listening to the voices of the three men as they lounged comfortably in the warm room. Well, I'm starting to get the shell cut tomorrow. I was going to start just digging, but Chief said it was going to snow. So I postponed a minute, Jim. Who said it was going to snow? The Chief. Chief's one of your dogs, isn't he? Well, sure, you know the one, Sergeant. Big gray husky. He's half wolf. Oh, yes. He told you it was going to snow. Chief's better than any barometer ever made. He sniffs the air and acts up in a certain way. I only ate the five. It's going to snow or storm. So what's the matter?   Some dogs are, Sam. I know how Jim feels about Chief. I feel the same way about King. A dog's a priceless possession, especially here in the North Country. Yeah, but how many of them are smart? A dog's intelligence depends a great deal on his master. Sergeant, you're as bad as the rest of them. As far as I can see, a dog's only good to pull a sled. And they won't do that unless you whip them into it. Sam, you're wrong. Let me ask you something. Have you ever owned a dog? No, and I don't want to. Oh, all right, if you can work them.  Sam, how can you say that with a dog like King Lane right here in front of us? King old fella, you hear what's being said about you? Look at him, getting up and putting his head right on Preston's knees. We understand each other. King's more help to me than any man could be. Sam, I wish you were smart, getting a helper down to Golden Age Cafe. The cashier you got down there, Slim Tracy, isn't any prize? I heard that you and Slim had a little fallen out. I swear he deliberately tried to shortchange me when I cashed him a chip the other night. He said it was a mistake, but I still don't believe it.  And he had it coming. Have you ever had any trouble with Slim, Sam? No, never. I think it was Jim's imagination. Everyone makes a mistake down there. Well, this was a pretty big mistake. Slim thought I'd been drinking and wouldn't notice. Oh, it probably was a mistake, Jim. How are you making out at the cafes, Sam? I'm doing great. I handle the day shift, and I let Slim take charge of the night calls. So we're making a mistake? Letting him handle all that cash?  I don't like his shifty eyes. Well, maybe that's Slim now. It's about closing time for the cafe. Here's our president, Jim. I'm a fire king. Oh, Sam, hello there, Slim. I thought it'd be you. Come on in. Oh, you've got company. Hello, Sargent. Hello, Slim. Jim. Sit down. Get warm. I can't stay. I just closed the cafe. How is business today? Better than usual. Big play at the ferro and poker tables. Picking up lots of money. That's why I stopped here on the way home. What's that under your arm? We let a lot of cash pile up in the safe, and tonight something went wrong with the lock. The door wouldn't shut. We got to get that fixed. Well, with Preston and this dog of his around, I don't think we have to worry much. Come on over and sit down, Slim. Tell you the truth, Sargent. I'm a little scared of that dog of yours. I'm not used to dogs. It won't hurt you. I can think of a lot of people worse than dogs. So can I, but I'm not afraid of them. Now, boys, no corner. Sit down, Slim. No thanks. I've had a hard night. I brought the cash home with me, Sam. I'll keep it at my house until you get the safe fixed tomorrow. $15,000 is a lot of money. Hey, good idea. Good night. Good night, Slim. Good night, Slim. Well, I didn't realize it was so late. Come on, King. We have to go, too. Well, I'm going to wait a few minutes. You should have walked home with Slim. Your cabin's just a short way past, isn't it, Jim? That's where I want to wait. I don't want to work home with him. I do have to get home, though. I have to get an early start my morning. I hope the weather clears up for your trip. You don't have to worry. You just do what their mother-of-a-dog tells you to. I sure will. And he'll tell me what's more. The following morning, Sergeant Preston and King were just leaving the barracks when Sam Bartlett hurried towards them. Preston! Preston! What's wrong, Sam? Slim's been murdered. I just came from his cabin. Slim murdered? He was killed with a knife or something. Then somebody dragged his body down with a footbridge near the river and pushed it through a hole in the ice. And what's more... Come on! I'll go to his cabin right away. Come on, King! He put up quite a fight. It's easy to see what happened. Someone killed him and robbed him and then dragged his body down at the river. How about that money Slim brought from your café last night? That's gone. I look for it. He was killed fighting for it. It certainly looks like it. It had been killed for a lot less than $15,000. Let's follow this trail down the river. Come on, King! See the tracks and footprints in the snow? And look at the scooped-out paths alongside them where they dragged Slim's body. Yes. A red stain on the snow. Look at the sled tracks, Preston. They come off right here, right past Slim's cabin. Uh-huh. Heavily loaded. A little by a six-dog team. I bet that sled belonged to the killer.  You may be right, Sam. Let's go down the hole in the ice. King's down there beside it.  You think he told anybody in the café? He wouldn't be that foolish. Then we were the only ones who knew it. You and Jim and I. I, uh... I didn't like to mention Jim much so sergeant, but...  He and Sam didn't like each other at all. That's true. What's wrong, King? I'm excited to smell up blood, I suppose. He followed this trail right down to this hole in the ice. Guess he thinks we don't know our bodies, been dumped in it. With his current as strong as it is under the ice, we'll never be able to recover it. We don't know where it'll be after the fall next spring. It doesn't seem possible that Jim would do a thing like this. And now I'll tell you something else. I traced back those sled tracks and they came right from Jim's cabin. But Jim would have to go this way. Said he was going to Selkirk, Sam. Well, it sure looks suspicious. Jim heard Slim tell me about taking the cash home with him. What would be simpler than killing Slim, robbing him and hiding the body so there's no direct proof of a murder? That's all circumstantial evidence, Sam. Well, you can't deny it. Somebody dragged Slim's body down here to this hole in the ice. Somebody murdered Slim. Now who did it? That's what we have to find out. Well, how? These tracks, King. Got the scent, boy. I love how that hunk can smell its blood. We know where Slim is. King can follow the scent of these foot prints. I'm following those sled tracks. I told you it was Jim. Look here, Sam. There's two sets of foot prints going along with this sled. He must have had someone helping him. I wondered how Jim could have fought Slim by himself. Slim was stronger. I wonder who could have helped Jim. He was mighty chummy with Kuna. He's that Eskimo who's always getting into trouble. Well, I'm going back to Barracks and get my sled loaded and follow this trail. Quiet, King! That's the smell of blood that's getting him excited. All must know what that means. Can he follow Jim's trail? That's a question. He certainly can. Would you mind if I went with you this time, Sergeant? Slim was a good friend of mine and, well, it was my money that was stolen. Well, we're glad to take you, Sam. Maybe you'll learn a little more about dogs if you come. I don't know what you're trying to tell me, King. We've got to get back to the Barracks and get ready for the trip. If the great lead dog could have talked, he would have told the sergeant a very important thing. King had followed many murder trails before, but this one was different. It was the end of the second day of the trip, and King ran well ahead of the team through the lightly falling snow while the mountain sand plotted behind the sled. I hope the snow lets up. We'll cover the sled tracks pretty soon. King will be able to follow the sled. It's quite fresh. Jim is headed for Selkirk, all right. All we have to do is follow the regular trail down there on the river. King's turning off the river and going west. Hey, what's wrong with that fool dog? We can still see the sled tracks going south. I don't know what's wrong with him. You don't want to follow the sled tracks. Snow's just about covered these footprints, but somebody left the trail right here. Yeah, they probably were made by some trapper or prospector. Come on, sergeant. Let's not waste time. King seems to be interested in them. Listen, that mud is local. We know Jim had a dog team on the sled. We can still see the tracks. Jim wouldn't be fool enough to go off by himself. We've had a hurry before the snow covers everything. Yes. I guess you're right, Sam. Hello, King. This way, boy. Hey, what's the dickens in wrong with him? He won't come. I can't figure it out. Come on, King! The big gray dog tried hard to tell his master to follow him. The training meant following the Mounties' orders. Those orders had been to follow certain tracks. And even though his master seemed to have changed his mind, King's instinct told him the sergeant was wrong. The great dog had been put on the scent of a certain man, and he knew that until that man was caught, his job was unfinished. He ran farther back on the bank of the creek, stood still and barked. He seems determined that we go that way.  Does he think we're playing a game with him?   Don't be too sure of that, Sam. I'm going to follow King. You mean you're going to leave this trail that we can see with our own eyes and go that way just because that fool dog got off on the wrong trail? I told King to follow the trail of the man who dragged that body down to the ice. That's obviously what he's doing. Now you've gone crazy. Kim's cracked and his sled goes south, Sergeant. We can see that. I'm betting on King, Sam. All right, King, we're following you, fellas. Oh, you have it! Push! Push on! The trail through the woods was a difficult one for the dog team and the heavily laden sled. Sergeant Preston and Sam broke the trail with snowshoes and Sam grumbled at the delay. By nightfall, they reached a wide creek and were about to make camp when the mountain noticed a small campfire ahead. There's a campfire, Sam. Maybe we finally caught the man right there. Whoever this fool dog thought he was chasing is a full day ahead by this time. He can make lots of better time than we could. Yeah, that looks like an Indian. It is an Indian. Somebody with him lying there beside the fire. Oh, King! Oh, you're crazy! Hello there. Don't worry, I'm watching. We went out. Glad you've come. All supply gone. My brother, him bad sick. Is that your brother lying there? Yeah. Him bad sick for three days. Oh. White man, come stay here. Steal all food. White man stole your supplies. He didn't leave early before his son come up. Him go to Creek Crossing, maybe.  You see, Sam, I guess King was right after all. Jim must have tried to throw us off the trail by stunning that eskimo ahead with a dog team thinking we wouldn't turn off the creek. And we wouldn't have. That hadn't been for King. It was a dirty trick stealing these Indians' food. Well, I better have a look at White All's brother. Lots of people in Creek Crossing, sick. Huh? Doctor, come there. Yes, man, has a very high fever. Him not talking. Him bad sick? Yes. We'll have to get him back to Creek Crossing as soon as we can. This was falling the following day when Sergeant Preston halted the team to make camp.  As they finished making a bed of spruce branches for him, Sergeant Preston bent over the sled to lift him up. Come on, big bear. I'll carry you over. Sam. What's wrong, Sergeant? I'm afraid there isn't anything we can do for him. In which? I'm sorry, White All. Your brother's dead. What do you think was wrong with him, Sergeant? What did he die of? I'm not sure, Sam, but I think it's diphtheria. Diphtheria? Gosh, that's contagious. When he's buried, we better head straight back home. I don't want to go to Creek Crossing if there's a diphtheria epidemic there. What about the man who stole your money? The man who murdered Slim. He must have gone to Creek Crossing. Clean forgot about him. I'm going on to the village, Sam. If Jim's there, it's my duty to get him. The doctor may need my help. We go back to village two. Good, White Owl. Well, uh, seen as how I'd get lost by myself, Sergeant. Maybe I'd better go with you. It's a good idea, Sam. I'll start for Creek Crossing in the morning. It was evening two days later when the Mountie, Sam, and White Owl entered the trading post at Creek Crossing. They were met at the door by a tired, haggard-looking man who introduced himself. I'm Dr. Pierre Sergeant. Come in. On the trail of a criminal, Doctor, have you seen a strange white man in the village? No, I haven't. If he came to the village, I'm afraid he wouldn't have stayed long. You see, we have an epidemic here. It's diphtheria. That's what I figured must have happened. White Owl's brother died of it on the trail. Many have died. More are dying. The Indian village just beside the town is especially bad. I need help, Sergeant. Could you possibly give up your manhunt for a few days? Oh, now, Sergeant, if we let Jim get away, we'll never find him. We'll get this store fixed up as a hospital and isolate the cases. But I... I can't do it alone. We'll stay and help you, Doctor. Human lives are more important than catching a criminal. Thank you. What can we do to help? We'll have to get as many of the sick people as possible moved here. If he can isolate the cases, he can keep it from spreading. We have dozens of sick people in the Indian village to the north. We'll have to bring them here to take care of them. Well, White Owl can drive a dog team. I'll let him use his mind to bring the Indians in. That'll be a lifesaver, Sergeant. We'll get some of them in here tonight and the rest tomorrow.  I had no sleep for the past two nights. If I could get a little rest. You're going to get it. Sam and I will take care of the people we bring in tonight. You can tell us what to do. The following day was a busy one, bringing the sick people into the trading post. Sergeant Preston, Sam and the Doctor worked tirelessly. The dead fallen and Sam and the multi were resting in the small back room when Doctor Pierce entered. You'd better sit down, Doctor.  It's hopeless, Sergeant.  I'm running out of antitoxin. I had very little. You know where we can get more? The nearest place is Dawson. Doctor Carlson's air must have a lot of it. But it would take three days to get there. You mean you haven't any more of it? What I have, I'm saving for the children. I'll get some for you, Doctor. I have my dog team. I have to take almost a week. By then, I don't know what will happen. Besides, I need you to help me take care of these people who are already sick.  We could send him to Dawson. If King could go along. Just tell him what you want. You claim he's almost human. It's hardly a time to joke, Sam. Sam's given me an idea, Doctor. What?  But it would take him so long to get Sam back. Well, I thought of a way to save time. King won't go with anyone but me. But if we put him in a crate and let White Owl take him to Dawson on the sled, he'd come straight back to me the minute they let him out. Well, what good would that do? We could give White Owl a note to Doctor Carlson and Dawson. They could put the antitoxin in a saddle pack on King and let him go. King would be back here in half the time to take a dog sled to get here. If we could get the antitoxin four days instead of six or eight. It might be worth a trial. But you're not going to trust precious medicine to a dog. He might go chasing off after rabbits or something. Not King. He'd get back to me just as fast as he could. It's worth a trial, Sergeant. And you could stay here and help me with the sick. I'll have to stay here, Doctor. That's the only way we can make King come back here alone in the fastest possible time. The following morning, before daybreak, White Owl was ready to leave for Dawson. King whined and looked up at Preston doubtfully as the mount he ordered him to get into the large box that was securely tied on the sled. Instinct told him something important was expected of him. So even though he didn't understand it, he jumped into the box when his master ordered it. It's hard to understand, old fella. I know. Get in the box, boy. Up, King. There you were. Now we're going to close you in, King. Going with White Owl. I think you're crazy. All right, White Owl, get going. Give this note to Doctor Carlson. And when you let King go, tell him to find me. We do. Don't spare the dogs, White Owl. Get to Dawson as soon as you can. All right, go on. Maybe King will prove to you that the dog's valuable after all. All right. You don't know how important that might be. Sam, what's wrong with you? You're swaying. All right. I feel funny. Get back in the store right away. She stayed in bed this morning here. Let me help you in. Dawson the city shook his head doubtfully as he read the note that White Owl had brought him. Then he looked gravely at the big gray dog, locked securely in the crate that had been brought into his cabin. But when Sergeant Preston, an old dog pierced who had sent this note, I think someone was either drunk or crazy, trusting a dog to carry Antitoxin all by himself. I have hard time with Dawson. He will want to get out all time. This Antitoxin is precious stuff, and I hate to risk it. Sergeant Preston said Dawson, get back quicker long. Yes, and time is precious too, in a case like this. Maybe him. The question is, will he do it? Nine dogs out of ten would go chasing game or something and never get there. Him what? Go back to Marty. He's a wonderful dog. You want to go back to Preston, too? Him know what you say. He seems to, doesn't he? I'm going to take a chance on you, old fellow. Get him out of that crate, White Owl. Now get the Antitoxin into that saddle pack. There's one thing about sending him out in this weather. The cold will preserve the Antitoxin. Over the white empty wasteland of the Yukon, the huge gray dog sped toward his master. The wind blew an icy blast that froze his breath and quoted his fur in silver frost. He ran with a long, tireless, mile-eating lope like a wolf, and the drops from his lolling tongue froze before they touched the ground. He ran with one thought to get back as fast as possible to his master who needed him. Look, look over there on that plane. Is that a dog? Where? Across with a great bullet. Wonder what he's chasing. Well, it is since we can't catch him to ask him. Flying there by the screen? We, it is. Wait, I will take short of him. That's shot you are. And there he goes over the hill. Oh, that wolf, she was too far away for the hit. Ah, you are only good for scary.  See how fast you run. Around the trading post, darkness had fallen and the patience tossed and groaned on their cots. Sergeant Preston sat beside Sam, whose eyes were bright with fever. Let me fix your pillow, Sam. There. Thanks, Preston. Why does it blizzard, Sam? King couldn't possibly get here until tomorrow, I'm afraid. Sergeant, can you help me? There's a man out in the snow in front of the trading post. He's balling down, I can't carry him in here. Yes, I'll help you, Doctor. We can put him on this cot next to Sam's. There he is. There's something beside him. A box of some sort and it's heavy. You'll get it later. You take his feet, Sergeant. I'll get him on his arms. All right. I'll get the door open. I'll get to shut it with my foot. We don't know yet, Sam. Oh, Sergeant, I'll go out and bring in the box. All right, Doctor. Where'd he come from? He managed to get as far as the door and then collapsed in white. What's wrong? It's Slim. What? Why, it can't be. Slim was murdered. Slim wasn't murdered. King was following Slim's trail, not Jim's. Then whose body is under the ice? We won't know that until Slim gets conscious. Here's the box this man was carrying. It's very heavy. That box belongs to Sam, Doctor.  This is the man we were trailing. It's a man who stole the money from Sam and supplies from White Owl and his brother? That's right. There you are, Sam. He must have caught this area from White Owl's brother when they came together that night. Just put it down beside the bed, Doctor. All right. I don't seem to care about it now. All I want is that King to back. Oh, I think Slim's getting conscious, Doctor. He has a high fever. I doubt that he'll live until morning. Hand me that glass of brandy, sir. All right. Where am I? Drink this, Slim. I heard you say...  Sergeant Preston. Yes, Slim. We trailed you. Then I didn't fool you. We thought it was your body that was dragged down to the hole in the ice, but I guess it was Jim's. You didn't fool my dog, though. No, no, Sergeant. I'm not a murderer. I didn't kill Jim. But the body? I wanted to pretend I was murdered so he wouldn't look for me. Yes? It was an antelope's body. I put it through the ice. An antelope's body? So that's what King was trying to tell me. I followed Jim's trail, sir. You'd think that Jim had killed me. And we did think so, except King. Well, you'd better be quiet now, Slim. Why don't you try to get some sleep yourself, Sergeant? I'm all right, thanks. How are the patients? Two children are getting worse, I'm afraid. Sam's temperature is getting higher. Now, he's asleep, though. No. No, I'm not asleep. I guess I'm done for. No, you're not, Sam. Yep. It was silly to plan on that dog. Don't give up, folks, Sam. King will get here. He probably won't make it till tomorrow night. He has to... Doctor, did you hear something? Just a wind. No, it wasn't a wind. It sounded like it is. It's King! It's us! King, old boy! Doctor, it is King. He made it! The dog! I can't believe it. Come here, old boy. He did it. He saved us. And the aditoxin's here in the saddlebag. Oh, King, old fellow, are you all right? He's not exactly all right. His feet are cut with the body's likes on the floor. And it looks as if somebody's creasing with a bullet. Someone probably thought he was a wolf. Is there enough aditoxin, doctor? Enough to stop this epidemic. And I... I doubt it, King. He saved your life, Sam. And the lives of many others by getting it back here so fast. The child will always be grateful to that dog of yours, Preston. I'll get my hyperdog. Good boy, King, old fellow. Preston, I guess I just never knew enough about dogs. Well, you will, from now on, Sam. They're loyal friends, aren't they, King? Incidents used are fictitious. Listen again next week to another exciting adventure during the days of the Gold Rush. Elprow speaking, this program came to you from Detroit. If you were asked to name the present lightweight boxing champion and you answered, Ike Williams, you'd be right, because Ike is recognized as the world's title holder by the National Boxing Association. If you answered Bob Montgomery, you'd still be correct, because Bobcat Bob is the New York State Athletic Commission's choice for champ. But this confusing situation will be cleared up Monday night, for that's when Montgomery and Williams battle it out for the undisputed lightweight championship of the world. And you'll be able to hear the blow-by-blow account on ABC. A spiked caster, Don Dunphy, will describe the action, and sports expert, Bill Corham, will deliver the between-round analyses and the color background. Considering the fact that both Montgomery and Williams are capable boxers and heavy punchers, plus the fact that they're evenly matched, this fight for the undisputed world's lightweight title promises to be a real thriller. So listen, this Monday night...


Okay, so this is a joint work with Raphael Paz and Elaine Chi from Cornell Tech and Cornell University. So let me start by first trying to put our work a bit in context sort of why we want these formal abstractions here by looking at the history of how trusted hardware has been viewed in sort of different communities. And we essentially can identify some two different trends here on the one hand in our own crypto community, especially in sort of theoretical cryptography. Hardware assumptions have usually been used as minimal set of assumptions that allow us to circumvent some theoretical impossibilities, I think say composable security. And so usually the goal here was more to get theoretical feasibility from sort of smallest assumption possible and with little concern about the actual practical performance that you end up getting from these protocols. And on the other hand in the sort of architecture and system security community as well, the goal has more been to sort of view trusted hardware as a way of getting trusted execution of say general purpose user programs with a focus more on the actual expressivity that the hardware would give you and sort of cost effectiveness and usability for many different programs. And it's actually interesting to see that various projects in this space both in sort of academia and industry, so from the hardware and architecture community have sort of converged to this notion of a tested execution. And well, first in this talk I want to sort of try and define this notion a bit more formally sort of see what this notion really is. And then sort of the more interesting question from a theoretical perspective, well what does this notion allow us to express well or not. So let's start from this standard setting where you'd have a client that wants to outsource computation to an untrusted server. In parts of this talk I might use sort of terminology and models that are sort of reminiscent of Intel's SGX, but the sort of aim is to cover the essence of a tested execution in sort of more general sense here. So the server who has access to a secure processor can then spin up a so-called enclave, so say an isolated execution region that can compute this program in isolation. And the trust is essentially bootstrapped by a trusted manufacturer that can embed a secret attestation key inside the hardware that can then essentially be used to remotely attest to the correctness of execution of a program. And so this is kind of a nice picture, it tells us kind of what we want from a tested execution from secure, from trusted hardware, but it's not necessarily a very precise abstraction to work with. So why would we want a sort of more formal ideal abstraction? Well on the one hand systems that are usually built on top then of trusted hardware have historically sort of tended to prove security in sort of ad hoc fashion because of a lack of a sort of formal model in which to work with. And so this is something that we'd hope to be able to fix if we had a formal and precise abstraction. But it's important to note that we don't and actually can't claim today that any secure processor that you can find on the market will actually realize any form of ideal abstraction that we can come up with. And this is sort of the, I think the next important step then in this area is that we'd actually want to have secure processors that can be sort of formally verified to actually implement some form of ideal abstraction. So let me now dive into the actual formal model that we work with. So we model a tested execution as an ideal functionality in a sort of UC style framework. And this functionality essentially will englobe all secure processors or all platforms from a given manufacturer in a registry and the interface of this functionality is pretty simple. So at initialization time, so at manufacturing time, it will generate public and secret key for attestation and so these keys will be shared by all platforms from the same manufacturer and at any given time a remote party might sort of be able to query to get this public key. And when a party that belongs to the registry, so a party that has a secure processor wants to install a new program, well the ideal functionality will spin up a new enclave and design it a unique identifier, a non-identifier that will allow us to identify stateful programs over time. And whenever the party that installed a enclave program wants to run it on a particular input, well we simply run the program that was stored and update its state, so essentially its memory, and then produce an attestation, so a digital signature under this shared secret key over the program that was computed and the output. So let me say a bit more about our modeling choices, so we model this attested execution ideal functionality in the UC framework, so why the UC framework, so first of all it's sort of worth noting that trusted hardware is probably not going to be used in isolation, it's going to be part of sort of larger protocols and where modular composition seems to be a sort of desirable property when we want to prove security of systems in this space, and so why the generalized UC framework, well this has to do with the fact that these attestation keys are sort of going to be inherently shared across protocols because, well, the way the system is actually set up in practice, all platforms inherently share state in this sense, and this actually means that attestations that are produced in one run of a protocol have a lifetime that sort of goes beyond that particular protocol, and this is actually a source of some technical difficulties that we have to work with, so a concrete example of a security issue that can come up from this that's sort of well known in the cryptographic community is this notion of non-deniability, so if one party produces an attestation in one run of a protocol, then this sort of provides undeniable proof that some party that belong to the registry, so that has a secure processor actually participated in this protocol, and I'll come back to this later. So let's now move on to this maybe more interesting question of well say we have such a formal abstraction then what can we actually do with it, and on the one hand this may be not very surprising, that we can show that this is a very powerful abstraction, and in particular it allows us to, we can show that it implies a notion of obfuscation for stateful programs, it's actually impossible to obtain even if we go sort of the full route of general cryptographic obfuscation and we also show that you couldn't be able to do this if your trusted hardware was stateless only, in the interest of time I won't actually be able to go over this in this talk, but I'll invite you to see our paper for the formal definitions and constructions we use here. The part I want to focus on a bit more is actually what to us was a bit more surprising is that if starting from this assumption we try to get sort of full UC secure multi-party computation, then things actually turn out to be somewhat more complicated, and I'll go into this now in a bit more detail. So for simplicity we can sort of look at just two-party computation where we have Alice and Bob that want to commonly compute some function of their inputs, and here what we can show is that actually when both parties have a secure processor, then it's actually somewhat easy to get universally composable secure two-party computation. However if one party actually doesn't have a secure processor, so in this case Bob lost his, then we actually show that getting two-party computation in a UC secure way is impossible, and this is somewhat counter-intuitive. So if you recall the sort of informal picture from the beginning of this talk where we looked at how a client might want to outsource computation to a server, in this picture we just considered that the server will have trusted hardware and the client doesn't necessarily have to, but it turns out that it's very hard to prove an ideal notion of security in this model, and sort of maybe the most intuitive way to see what some of the issues can be is through this notion of non-deniability, and so again here if in this protocol Alice was the only party who has a secure processor at any time actually uses this processor to compute an attestation under this globally shared key, then if the other party is malicious it could sort of just use this attestation to convince anyone else that some honest party that belonged to the registry of this hardware platform actually participated in the protocol, and well this is something that first of all the ideal notion of two-party computation doesn't really allow for, and it's also somewhat intuitive to see that this wouldn't be an issue if both parties had a secure processor because then well Bob could have just came up with this attestation himself, so this sort of provides a notion of plausible deniability for Alice. So maybe one of the more technically interesting results we look at as well, what if we sort of really really wanted to do things with a single secure processor, so it seems sort of more interesting in practice if not every single party had to have a processor from the same manufacturer, and so because of these impossibility results we actually have to rely on extra setup assumptions, and here we go for an assumption that has already been used in the space of sort of composable MPC, which is this notion of an augmented common reference string, I won't give a precise definition but you can think of this as essentially a setup that for honest parties is essentially the same as a standard CRS, but it also allows malicious parties to sort of query for so-called identity key, which is essentially just a signature of the party's identity that is then publicly verifiable, and so it's a important note here that the honest parties will sort of never have to interact with this CRS during the protocol, and although we already know from prior work that actually just from this augmented CRS you can get secure MPC, the protocols you can get if you include trusted hardware are somewhat interesting because they sort of have a communication complexity between parties that doesn't depend at all on the complexity of the program that you're trying to run, because essentially the program will just run inside the secure hardware and so this is something that might be interesting to achieve. From a technical point of view, and this is something that I'll go into a bit more detail, what's actually quite interesting is that to get sort of for the simulation proof to go through for us to actually be able to prove security, we need to embed some backdoors into the program that's run in the enclave, which is somewhat surprising, this sort of notion of back-during programs is something that's come up in work on say, indistinguishability obfuscation, but it wasn't necessarily clear to us that this would pop up in this setting as well, and actually most or not maybe all of the protocols that we show in our paper need some notion of backdoor in the programs. So let me show a concrete example here, so this is for this MPC protocol where we'll assume that there's sort of one distinguished party that we call the server that will host this sort of single secure processor, and there's a bunch of remote parties that want to do MPC, and we have this augmented common reference string as well. The way the protocol works is that the program that's running in the enclave will start by sort of generating public key pairs for each party and send these out together with an attestation. Here in the interest of time, I'll sort of gloss over some details, especially in the actual protocol the server has to replace this attestation with this indistinguishable proof to sort of get rid of this non-deniability issue. I'll let you look at the paper if you're interested in the details about this. And sort of after this, the construction is pretty standard, so the parties can do key exchange with the enclave, send their inputs encrypted under shared symmetric key. The enclave collects all the inputs, computes the function, and sends out encrypted outputs. So let's now look at sort of the interesting thing of how we would prove security of this, how we would do the simulation. So here we consider that the server is malicious, so in particular the simulator will be able to also query the trusted hardware. And here we'll have to sort of embed trapdoors that will allow the simulator to extract the inputs and equivocate the outputs for malicious remote parties. And the way this works is that if the simulator wants to know the input that was given by some malicious party, it will first call sort of one function in the enclave that allows it, if it knows the identity key that it got from this augmented common reference string for a particular malicious party, well then the enclave will just return the corresponding secret key. And so because honest parties will sort of never interact with the common reference string, then this sort of allows the simulator to extract inputs from malicious party, but it doesn't affect the security for honest ones. And in a similar way, once the simulator actually learns the output, it sort of has to program the enclave to produce this output for malicious parties, and it can again do by sort of calling another backdoor function inside the enclave program that is sort of never going to be used in an honest run of the protocol. Okay, so let me now move on to another of our positive results, which has to do with fairness in two-party protocols. And here by fairness essentially means the standard notion that we want to make sure that if one party learns the result of the computation, then the other party should also be able to obtain the result after maybe some bounded amount of time, even if the first party aborted. We actually know that for general functionalities this is impossible in the plain model, this is a celebrated result by a cleave. And sort of natural question is, well, could trusted hardware help achieve these notions of fairness as well? So for this we consider a sort of enhanced model that we call a clock-aware secure processor. It's essentially a piece of trusted hardware that has access to a source of relative trusted time. And here we can again show that assuming that both parties have such secure processors, we can actually get fairness for general two-party computations. Again, if one of the two parties actually doesn't have a secure processor, things sort of break down. But we can show that for specific functionalities such as coin tossing, for instance, we can get fairness even in this setting where a single party has a secure processor and we also have this augmented common reference string. So this protocol for fair 2PC is actually relatively simple. So let me go over it quickly. Sort of a pretty standard construction where first the two parties will have their secure processors establish a secure channel over which they can actually exchange their inputs and then they can compute the output. So you sort of perform the actual two-party computation. And at this point, the two enclaves will actually just decide to withhold the outputs for a sort of predefined exponential amount of time. And then they will sort of start this tit for tat communication where in sort of iterative fashion they will agree to have the amount of time that they have to wait until they will actually release the outputs to their hosts. This wouldn't be possible if the processors weren't clock aware. And well, it's easy to see here that if one party sort of gets its output at some time t then the other party sort of needs to wait at least at most twice that amount of time to also get its output. So we get a nice notion of fairness. And compared to sort of prior approaches here, what's nice in this setting is that the enclaves don't actually need to do any sort of wasteful computation such as if you had, say, time lock puzzles because sort of in an honest run they just do a number of back-and-forth communications and if one of the party aborts the other party's enclave just sits idle for a certain amount of time. So let me conclude by just sort of looking a bit at the future directions given by our work. So in this work we've looked at sort of formal abstractions of trusted hardware. We've shown that attested execution is a very powerful primitive that allows us to do a lot of fun and interesting things but that there's also some subtle issues that can arise because of this shared, because keys are essentially shared across all protocols. And as I alluded in the beginning of this talk what sort of the next logical step in this direction is to actually come up with a secure processor design that could be formally verified to actually implement a precise formal abstraction which would then sort of allow us to get provably secure implementations of systems on top of trusted hardware. Thank you. Thank you. We still have time for questions. So you said your model allows for getting stateful obfuscation, right? And my understanding is that in case of Intel SGX you don't actually get stateful obfuscation because it leaks some sort of access patterns. Yes. So I'm just wondering where the gap is. So this is what I mentioned in the earlier part in the talk today we can't show for any particular processor on the market that it actually realizes the sort of ideal abstraction that we want. In the case of SGX this is for two reasons. One, because there are these side channels that sort of show that things aren't exactly as secure as we want and on the other hand that even if we could get rid of these side channels there's actually no way of sort of formally verifying what the processor actually does. And so that's where the gap currently is, is that sort of between the actual implementation and the formal abstraction there's sort of a gap. So I understand that in your formalism to run an enclave you need a special instruction. So now is your notion of program allows to make these special instructions?  What do you mean by that? So I mean that to run a program inside an enclave which will ask to run a program inside another enclave. So I don't think we need this in any of our constructions. It's possible that our formalism would allow you to do it but none of our protocols sort of require the sort of a circular notion of sort of programs to call other programs. So for instance the trap doors that we have in some of our constructions are really part of the original program that is loaded inside the enclave. So your impossibility result for secure computation with single trusted hardware is applied on the fact that you don't get a deniability. So you can imagine defining a notion of non-deniable secure computation and then I wonder whether you looked at that and whether that could be realized. So we didn't look at this specifically. This is sort of an approach that's been taken in quite a number of prior works of sort of weakening the actual ideal functionality that you want to realize. And I don't see a reason why this wouldn't work in our case but we didn't look at this specifically. Thanks. Any more questions? Yes, Evgeni has a question. So I just want to make sure I understand. So in this setting that trusted hardware, I mean it's completely trusted. It's not like a small thing. It can run like everything. It's like has memories. There are no side channels. I just want to make sure but usually the kind of problems that people have is like you know several people around this thing and things share resources like cash and so on and you know there are all those kind of side channels. So here you just assume there is a process.  It's just a completely trusted and it will sign everything. I just kind of want to make sure that I understand the model. Is it correct? Right. So you essentially would leak the sort of size of inputs and outputs and the size of the function but it is a sort of strong model in that yeah we assume no other side channels. We actually consider a much, much weaker model that we also proposed in a prior work where we actually assume that everything leaks. So nothing that is executed inside the enclave will actually remain private except for the attestation keys and this is sort of interesting setting because in one sense you could argue that it's much more relevant to what we actually have in practice and you can still do some pretty interesting things like zero knowledge proofs and UCCQ commitments in this much weaker model. Where did it appear? So the prior work appeared at USMP earlier this week and also in this paper we sort of formalize this model more precisely.


Okay, so it would be good for somebody to lead a prayer, please and then we can move forward anybody Abhinash, can you pray? Yes, ma'am. Thank you. Thank you. Okay, let's pray Our gracious heavenly father we thank you for this beautiful day Beautiful morning and beautiful time for the God in the fellowship in your presence Jesus Thank you father God for this wonderful opportunity that you've given again into our life father Thank you for the breath that you are giving Lord Jesus again and again lot. Thank you father God Father God, we pray that Lord Jesus as we are Lord Jesus learning your word father God Understanding prophetic ministry father God. We ask you the more revelation and the clear father God so that we can Understand in a deeper way father God so so that we can understand in a new revelation with Jesus We ask you father God more of your grace to learn and understand father God We submit faster Nancy into your mighty and father God as he is teaching us father God Give her a more revelation and the wisdom and the knowledge so that he could in Impart in he could impart Lord Jesus that word and understanding in our life. Thank you Jesus We praise you we worship you Lord Jesus We give you all the glory and honor and we ask this pray in Jesus mighty name. Amen. Thank you ma'am. Thank you Amen, thank you. Thank you Abhinash So today we I remember telling us that we will go into a practice session So that's what we are going to do I thought we could touch upon one chapter and then you know the rest of the class time we will spend Praying and sharing words that we hear from God so we can do that and tomorrow again Let's see how it goes. We have a few more chapters left And I'm hoping to complete it if we can complete it quickly then, you know, we'll have a little more time for Sharing words from God. So today chapter 14. This is the prophetic church It's it's going to be a somewhat quick. So, you know, we can complete it. Basically, this talks about us as local churches becoming prophetic and pursuing the prophetic anointing You know in what what God is releasing through us and so far we've seen that the prophetic Means to hear from God and to speak that forth. So basically we hear from God about what he's saying in the now And you know that that brings instruction that brings the refreshing from God's presence It is not just about Saying what God says, but it's more about knowing the heart of God for a time such as this and for the now For us as well as the the world around us So that is that is what being prophetic means and when you think about the prophetic church Then we see that the pastor is prophetic the people are prophetic and you know, you you kind of Understand that at a larger scale. So everyone is hearing from God. Everyone Is flowing with what is in God's heart? At an individual and at a corporate level so as the as we have said earlier, we are tending more and more towards, you know, the Release of the supernatural from God's presence as we Await the return of the Lord Jesus. We are seeing much of this restored back to the church the five-fold ministry offices are being restored and the Anointing of these five-fold ministry offices is also being restored. So the prophetic in a great way is being restored back to the Church now while we talk about hearing from God I think even in the last class I mentioned that we should move away from making this about getting Information from God. So if that becomes the mindset of God's people Regarding the prophetic. No, we would really have failed in Understanding the prophetic and your publication here is titled understanding the prophetic So the prophetic is more than getting information from God. So The prophetic is to flow with the heart of God. So that is what the prophetic really is and For us when we are thinking about a prophetic church and a prophetic congregation, we must have this very very clear So the pursuit of the church or the body must be knowing God's heart and we've also said that The prophetic is all about being intimate with God Having a strong prayer life being sensitive to the spirit of God so the emphasis is to know God's heart and to Pursue intimacy with God. Okay. Now added to that we could say that The pursuit of holiness is also important. So when we combine all this understanding God's heart We said a pursuing intimacy with God and pursuing holiness Now we can display and reveal the prophetic anointing for what God really wants it to be and That is important for us to settle in our hearts Why should a church become a prophetic church? See, it's good as we've discussed this in some of our previous courses as well It's good to know God's word preach God's word because God's word is the truth and we know that God's word is Always powerful. It is able to work in people's lives And with everything that we study and understand from God's word We reap benefits. So that is that is understood. However, you know There is something about the now word of God and the Bible says this that the sheep hear my voice. So We are following the instructions of the shepherd. He is guiding us leading us He is directing us. So we have to tune into that regular guidance From God and thereby it is important for us to know the truth Which he's speaking right now as well So just as much as we might rejoice in what God has spoken 10 years from now 20 years from now 50 years from now You know that there is really a Place where or you know, there is really this opportunity that God has given us to keep hearing from him right now So why stay with only The the revelation that has come, you know, several years ago when God can talk to us right now So that is our purpose. We want to hear from God in the now because he is a speaking God. So That way, we will be instructed by the spirit right now and directed by the spirit right now And you know, we can keep walking with the Lord. So that is the process I see a hand raised by Kennedy Kennedy. You have something to say. Okay, Kennedy. Did you have a question? Maybe it happened by mistake No, it was by mistake. Sorry. Sorry. Okay. No problem. Yeah, that's okay. Sure. All right So then we move forward the process of becoming a prophetic church now local churches as We said, you know, God is pouring out his spirit and we are learning more about The five-fold ministry offices and the anointing connected to that. So there is a Transition the churches that are not used to the prophetic anointing would need to make a transition into hearing from God. So there is a process involved and You know, how how is this process going to come through by equipping obviously when we Learn about the prophetic when we understand how God speaks and then no people are trained to release The prophetic through their lives. That's when they can be positioned to position in a place where They can speak what God is saying right now. So this entire Process has to take place now. What can be an issue here a Resistance to change. Okay. So sometimes as God's people and as local churches, we become very comfortable with what God is doing Right now if he's taking us into something new May be a large proportion of the church doesn't want that to happen a large proportion of the church Is actively resisting what the pastor is trying to bring in so Resistance is a challenge that we might face from a local church congregation And also there can be a fear based on What has been observed as prophetic ministry and anointing you know people can have this fear that oh We will have a certain reputation. So, you know, what if people start looking at us as You know those who are flowing the gifts of the spirit those who prophesy And you know, people have their mindsets. So they think then people might you know other churches might think that we have your other churches might think that You know We we are not strong in the word. So all these mindsets Maybe because they don't know God's word clearly yet. They they think that their reputation will be at stake So these are some of the challenges that a pastor or a leadership team in a church can face when they want to help the church transition into the Into being more prophetic. So We will then need to work with the people We will then need to teach from scripture help them understand that you know This transition is is definitely scriptural and this is something that God is doing right now And so we must be open to the work of the Holy Spirit. Okay. So in that way by working with the people Informing them educating them, we will be able to overcome the resistance and the fears about there reputation okay, so what are some of the pitfalls or The dangers of becoming a prophetic church If people are not Equipped thoroughly they could go into this mode of Thinking that the prophetic is just you know here from God and say something say speak something nice And you know not really be sensitive to The heart of God. So we have to help people You know recognize that hey, you know, don't just don't just go around saying things you know that You're not very clear about or without Without pursuing intimacy without pursuing holiness. No people can The entire congregation can go into this mode of just receiving information and giving information So that's not really the point. They we have to help the church know that are You know are the key here or the goal is to really be a blessing to the body of Christ and to know the direction that God is providing to his people. So that's the whole goal and the emphasis so Going trying to do something lesser than that which is you know, hearing something and saying that out that that is not fulfilling God's plan for Being a prophetic church. So we'll have to help the church understand that then the other thing is that people can start Deriving their identity from the function of the church.   So that's not the whole and therefore establishing the identity of the congregation In who they are in Christ Jesus is very very important. Otherwise, you know, you the congregation just thinks oh, we are a prophetic church We are an apostolic church that alone is our identity and that is is that can be very dangerous Okay, so that is also something for us to be careful about and the next thing is that Even if we are able to transition Successfully into becoming a prophetic church. We need to let the people know that Our being prophetic is for the entire body to be blessed. So there's no point starting To discriminate against churches that are not yet flowing in the prophetic This also tends to happen. The churches that Are now flowing in the prophetic look at others and say oh, we are better than you God's spirit is moving in our midst. You still don't know how to hear from God. So You see that again is defeating the entire purpose. The prophetic is to bless the body. So we must Yeah, thank God for what we are learning. Thank God for what we know, but Excuse me. We are not here to put down those who Have not yet understood what God is doing through the prophetic or there can be people with differing opinions Okay, but we need to learn to deal gently with with them Unfortunately, there are clashes. There are competitions. I know there are arguments Between those who flow in the gifts of the spirit and those who don't want to flow in the gifts of the spirit You know when we when we go into that mode again, it's it's causing more harm to the body of Christ than You know being a benefit. So we have to Stay away from such things now. What will happen if a church becomes more prophetic? Many benefits. We will know how God is steering us through the current times and Another thing is there is refreshing as you hear from God's word The fresh mana of God's word what God is saying in the now that there is a refreshing that comes into the church And we can expect growth advancement You know being Given by the Holy Spirit. So that is helpful and you know, we can be a dynamic Church we can be a church that truly demonstrates the power of the spirit Okay. Now talking a little bit about a pastor who is Pastoring a church into this transition It is going to be challenging for a pastor We already said that there can be a resistance Which the pastor would need to work through and the best way Is to teach the word whenever we teach the word the spirit of God will work with the word And work in the hearts of the people and they'll understand the importance of becoming prophetic the next challenge that we would We can expect is that the Way a church functions can become somewhat messy Okay, by that we mean that there can be many good and sincere believers who are practicing to hear from God and so We might keep receiving prophetic words every now and then You know believers giving other believers prophetic words and maybe sometimes they go wrong Or believers giving the pastor a prophetic word and you know, they're all well-meaning believers They're all trying to hear accurately from God. So which is great. But then you see in the flow of the prophetic and the You know becoming more accurate that can be all these We wouldn't again. I already mentioned, you know, we wouldn't call This false prophecy because you know, these are good people They are believers. They really want to flow in the gifts of the spirit But mistakes mistakes tend to happen.  So all this will be a part of what a pastor needs to do So it will be so added to the existing work You could say there's additional work to do when one wants to Transition the church into being more prophetic. However You know Proverbs 14 verse 4 it says where no oxen are the trough is clean But much increase comes by the strength of an ox. So whenever we are wanting to make progress Things will be messy around us because Yeah, it's just part of the process But one needs to be open to accommodate all this chaos in order to Help the church transition Uh, so that is one thing about the congregation now a pastor another important aspect for this pastor is to become a prophetic pastor. Okay, so prophetic pastor is instead of just Sharing what you know one knows as okay. Uh, now I'm a pastor. I'm only going to teach from these subjects This is the way I'm going to do church but when a pastor starts to hear from God And uh, listen to what the spirit is saying in the now. There can be Um, uh, you know that fresh direction that is coming in into the pastor's life So there can be new things that the pastor might step into And uh, you know begin to share Those things so one has to be open to that one has to be open to that now We know that God's word will come in inspire us The prophetic will inspire us in our teaching the prophetic will inspire us to um, You know have more revelation. They can also be Just a moment. I Is that a question that somebody has Okay, not really Yeah, uh, it could cause More revelation to come in they can also be elements of Uh, you know when when a pastor begins to flow in the prophetic foretelling of the things that are to come Uh, the way intercession Uh happens the way worship happens can completely be transformed Uh, and one may move into you know, um Confronting demonic powers because we know that the prophetic anointing does that so This also could happen. There can be unusual manifestations of God's power There can be extraordinary signs wonders. So a pastor needs to be open to these things and uh, as the Lord is leading the pastor to Prepare the church to receive such things. He he needs to work on that and a pastor also needs to keep the emphasis on Helping people remember that uh, you know, it's all about God and not so much Make the spiritual gifts a focus because um, if the pastor makes the gifts the flow of the Flow of the gifts Uh prominent and just teaches the church that hey, you know, we're all about spiritual gifts We're all about you know, only the power of God. Uh, what happens is people will will Um, you know miss out those elements of worship intimacy with God and also What I shared earlier about pursuing holiness. So we we Informed them we teach them in a holistic way and that really would help the church So don't emphasize so much on the method. Um, and the gifts As much as the Purpose of those gifts. Okay, so that way a pastor will be able to Uh himself flow in the gifts of the spirit and also rightly Instruct God's people to flow in the gifts of the spirit and then of course a pastor can encourage the Coming together of prophetic teams. We've touched on that in the last class. We said there can be creative teams There can be evangelistic teams. There can be worship teams. So there can be many different teams that are Practicing the flow of the prophetic. Okay. So, uh, that is the way in which one can Help a local church transition into becoming more prophetic. So any comments about this any thoughts about this Uh particular topic if there are we'll take that up and then we will move into a practice session for today Yes, yes, louis Please go ahead Yeah Whether we have a balance between making a transition into In this case the prophetic and you maintain Relationships with God because sometimes when the emphasis on the perspective is then to You know that the extract nutrients for that transition from God from the world from Um From older from older senior ministers So where do we balance that place of personal relationship so that the emphasis does not change does not move from our personal relationship into the Emphasis for the moment in this case transition into a prophetic Or an apostolic church Okay, okay, uh, how do we keep the balance you're asking louis? Yeah, the balance. Um, because I'm also talking from a personal experience where there's an empathy of the spirit Um And you're trying to extract all the juice You know, I mean use all the essence of the of the transition all the Emphasis of the transition all the details of the transition. So sometimes we are Accent God for the directions the the work he wants to use the people he wants to use And it's something that can shift our attention away from Um our personal relationship at that time into the emphasis he's trying to make at the moment So where do we keep the balance so that we do not lose focus of Um, it's like at that point I tend to use God to achieve a transition And shifting our focus from the relationship we're building with him to the transition itself So how do we keep the balance? Yes, thank you. Thank you louis very good important question I Want to take us back to a discussion that we had in the previous course and this was about the house of God Over there. We we learned louis that when it comes to Equipping the church In the truth of God's word as a pastor we can be very intentional Um, and therefore the choice of topics, you know can be We laid out in such a way that people have a good foundation on The subjects of discipleship Okay, so we might want to establish our people in Christian life discipleship really well before we Help them transition into um Becoming a prophetic church because this is more You know of of a ministry sort of a subject So I don't know if you would recall we said that there are three pillars one is about You know discipleship One pillar is about christian ministry. The other one is about life skills now all these three areas require emphasis from the pulpit Otherwise what happens we if we just hold on to one subject As you said, you know, we can go overboard not that it is wrong But it's just that the balance that the people need Would would kind of you know be out. So The best way to do it is Equip them in discipleship. So then, you know, we are preparing them about the basics, you know, the word of God How can one pursue Their relationship with God through prayer How can you know one spend time in worship? What does it mean to have, you know, a life as a disciple Sharing the gospel. So there are many different aspects, right? So we we we lay a good foundation of all of that And then, you know, we we help them move on to subjects such as The prophetic so even after we share about the prophetic anointing I think when we're teaching a subject Louis, it's good to Share it as wholly as we can You know based on the revelation that we have from God's word so far and You know the clarity that the scriptures give us So even in what I shared just now, you know, I talked about some of the pitfalls Some of the dangers. So We can share it in that way. And so when we Share it in a in a complete way, people will understand. Okay. My identity is not That I am a prophetic person I am in Christ And I'm also prophetic, you know, so then they are able to understand how to really carry this anointing and Flow in the anointing so that will help And in addition to that, I think what we call as hand-holding or what we call as Continual encouragement Will also be beneficial because then what is happening is the pastor and the leadership team Let's say they are already equipped and they are experienced in these areas They can also guide the people You know through this process. So as and when people make mistakes or people have questions It is addressed and thereby You know The the transition is quite okay. And you know people will not go out of balance So just some practical things louis and I and I hope it answers your question Yeah, yeah. Yes ma. Thank you so much. At least once the foundation is laid everything upon it Was to get the balance. I understand. Thank you so much Yes, yes. Yes. Thank you. Thank you. So, uh, I I mean, I also know where you're coming from but because what happened sometimes is See it's a good thing for us to become a prophetic church and an apostolic church But people get caught up only in that so uh from the pulpit.  Yes always. Yeah. Yeah And it's always about prophesying. So then People might lose the balance Yes, ma. Yeah, correct. Ma. It happens a lot in this site because they're not going to the extreme of Yeah, yeah, I get it. Yeah so And and the next generation the next generation catch up on that and the foundation is sometimes lost in the whole process So try to I understand ma. Thank you. Yes Yeah, sure. Sure. Sure. Thank you. And uh, also, uh, thank uh, louis. I just want to add to this So as you said, you know, the next generation only captures us being prophetic Also, another thing that happens is uh, I think along with the prophetic you see it's very Thrilling when you when you see oh god knows there is all this revelation. So When in a church we go out of balance What also happens is, you know, there is this appearance of we say thrills and frills kind of a ministry um so People wrongly feel Understand that this is how the prophetic is, you know, the service has to be Uh, you know, very exciting. It has to be You know, you you should get some goosebumps only then god is moving in our midst, but not necessarily No, we might give the wrong picture to our coming generations or the uh, you know, the churches that don't yet Flow in the prophetic that this is how the prophetic is supposed to be but not necessarily not necessarily No, we can keep it very simple. Uh, we can be very simple and yet be very prophetic. Okay So the uh order that we maintain in a church service Now all these things it it will really depend on us being very intentional and considering the word of god um Holy and not Only emphasizing on the prophetic because then and unfortunately, it's happening. It's happening in many places Uh, but you know, hopefully people will transition into making the manifestation, you know of of the or the flow of the prophetic um undergirded by The entire truth of god's word and all of that and so there can be a balance of teaching Properly teaching the word god's word properly equipping believers in both discipleship and in ministry How do you minister with the gift of prophecy? So then you will have um, you know believers who will really benefit the Body of christ. So yeah, thank you. And uh, yeah, louis anything more you want to say No, no, thank you mom. I just want to say thank you for understanding what I was coming Yeah, sure. Sure. No problem. Thank you louis. All right. So that's uh, important anything else Before we move forward Okay, all right. So in that case, we will just take some time to pray over one another and I mean ideally if we were in the class then we could have divided us into groups and uh Everyone will would have had an opportunity to pray and hear from god But I'm thinking, you know, the way we will do it today is I'm looking at all your names listed here on google classroom What I will do is I will just assign each of you make you into two.  Maybe it's a sense of something or do you feel like You know, you you saw a picture or you picked up a word in your spirit It can be anything just be open and no pressure if you feel like I'm not hearing anything. It's okay. It's totally fine but pray for the other person And see if you get something from god for them. Okay, so that's what we will do We're doing this online and I really hope, you know, it goes. Okay. So I'm just gonna randomly mix up all all the people here Uh, okay, so Prazi and bet Prazi and bet if you could please pray for each other if you can just put a yes on the chat Then I know that you you heard what I'm saying. Yes, Christopher. You have a question Yes, I was just thinking that is it possible to um You know from breakout groups So that uh, you know, we can we can actually have You know, have them have each other. I mean I mean We can have it. We are broken into into a smaller group Okay, understood. Christopher. So Christopher google classroom as of now with the current settings that I have Uh, I okay. It just it does say breakout room So let me give it a shot. If this works, then yes, thank you for Proposing it. So bet and praise it. Please hold on. Let me let me see If I can set you all up into breakout rooms Okay, so I'm going to do this What we will do is we will have five breakout rooms. So this does give me, uh, An option to do that. So there will be five people in a group and you can all go into a group We have a good, um, maybe 10 minutes. No, let me give you About six to six minutes The breakout room will close on its Okay, it's nine thirty eight nine thirty eight nine Okay, seven minutes. I'll give you seven minutes Uh, and you're all shuffled. So just pray for one another And see if you know, there's anything that you want to share with them. We'll come back and we we can talk about it So there are three Rooms and I'm opening up five rooms. So I'm opening it up. You should get a prompt. Hopefully or just be divided into the groups Yeah, so the rooms are open. You can leave please Yeah, so crazy louis Georgia Isaac If you can please pick a room that would be good room three anyone Okay, sit down tall. Okay. Are you having difficulty? Louis, are you okay? Are you able to join? I think my network is a bit slow, but I'm going to join up. It's a bit slow Okay, sure. Yeah. Yeah, no problem. No problem. Okay. Welcome back.  So uh, but good though Hopefully you had some time to pray over one another if anyone wants to share from Whatever happened in the breakout room. You could please share Hi pastor Yes Break her room the time really seemed short Okay, okay See um short because as you know, it wasn't like one on one. It was um Five or so four or five individuals, you know, we prayed first and I think that's about maybe three or so minutes and then you know I saw Harrison's wife. That's what I saw her looking She's looking she's expecting something Right, she's looking as if she's waiting looking up. She's looking to God. She's expecting something So I'd ask him how is she? um And he said she's in another country at the moment. She's probably traveling Right and I ask her ask him if she sings and he says yes because I also saw something of her singing but um, it was just brief and um She he said she's expecting looking for a job right now So pretty much um, we pray I prayed for her And prayed that um, you know, she gets hope and if a doubt be removed then So pretty much and pray for Harrison and that was about it for over time I don't think anybody has got to share it Okay, okay. Yeah. Thank you. Thank you. Tasha. Thank you for sharing that and rose noted What we'll do is I think next class there's only two more chapters to yeah, like Two more chapters left. I'll just share the key points in about 15 minutes And the entire time we'll we'll break ourselves up into groups and do You know practice so hopefully that'll help Yeah, say you have something to share Yes, I also have safe situation. The time was short But I was in a group with um park park car and um shiver on And um while he prayed first of all I kept seeing like a tire rolling then it was like the picture was opening up more and more and it was like a bite But if the focus was more on the tire rolling, I don't know what that meant And then when she run free What I kept hearing in my street was light light light So before I could pray for pray for them because we all agreed that would pray Picture but I couldn't pray for any of them. But that was what I saw while each of them pray What I heard and what I saw and Okay, yeah, thank you say so you you didn't have a chance to tell them this It was very short. So I just mentioned it but I couldn't really Talk about it more Okay, so what we can do is uh, you know, we are closing this call in one minute But we have the screen page where you can go and post so you can say, you know for Um, you know for taisha and if you did see something and you know, if you can interpret it even better You can just post it out there. Just make sure that it's not a personal message If it is a personal message, then you know, we'll see how you can share that with them But if it is something general then you can post it on the stream page Okay, so let's do that for now and in the next class, uh, we will take You know the the larger proportion of the session only for prayer Okay fine class. Is that okay? Yeah, I guess it's fine. Yeah, so, okay great. Uh, then say can you please pray? We'll uh wrap up this class Let us pray Our father in heaven, we bless you and we worship you.

Around God City and in the territory on West, there's just one way to handle the killers and the spoilers. And that's with a 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. The story of a man who moved with it. Matt Dillon, United States Marshal. Oh, what's your rush, Miss Kitty? Come on, sit down and have a beer with us, Kitty. I love to, Matt, but I just stepped up with some threads. I gotta get back to work. Some thread? That sounds pretty domestic for you, doesn't it? Yeah, but it's an occasion. I'm making a wedding dress. Oh, no, Miss Kitty, not you. Oh, my, no. Well, that isn't for me, Chester. Worst luck. It's for artist Nash. It's gonna be beautiful. If I say so myself. Well, if I ever need a wedding dress made, I'll sure come to you for it. I'll be here, Matt. Let me know. See you later, boys. So long, Kitty. She's a fine girl, Mr. Dillon. Kitty? Oh, yeah, yeah, she's great. She's... Well, look who's back in town, Mr. Dillon. Yeah, Frank Craig. Hello, Marshal. Ah, Frank, I never expected you to come back. I, uh, don't know what to say to you. You might say welcome home. Yeah, I might. At least you're honest, Marshal. Sure. Where have you been for the last year? Out west. Wyoming, to be exact. My sympathy for the peace officers of Wyoming. Man can change, Marshal. Grow up and get over his wildness and start to think about settling down. Some men can. Well, I'm one of them. I don't aim to cause any trouble, Marshal. Came back here to marry artists and take her with me, that's all. You heard from her since she left? She's pretty as ever. She'll pass. The man in Dodge was crazy about her. She was my girl from start to finish. Things can change, Frank. She's still my girl, Marshal. Ben Martin might differ with you. Ben Martin. Mm-hmm. That bull-nick plow boy. He never had a chance in... What are you saying, Marshal? I didn't mean to cause any trouble, you say, and yet you just happened to roll into town three days before artists is due to marry Ben.  Artists wrote me a farewell letter, Marshal. It doesn't make any difference. Like I said, she's still my girl. She's not marrying Ben or anybody else. Not while I'm alive. Like I said, Frank, Ben may differ with you. I used to chase him home crying when we were kids. I don't think he'll chase that easy now. Ben took over the circle bar B. He's got 25 boys writing for him. He's a big man around here. Swings a lot of weight. Marshal, I said I wasn't looking for trouble and I meant it. I came back here to get artists, that's all. If any man tries to stop me, I'll kill him. I'll see you, Marshal. Chester, see if you can find Ben Martin. Have you meet me over at the jail office? I thought he was a thousand miles away, Marshal. I didn't think you'd ever have the nerve to come back. Well, Ben, the two of you are bound to run into each other, so I figured you'd better know about it. What's he expect, Marshal? Artists forgot him a week after he left town. Does he expect to force himself on him? Maybe, you know, Frank.  He says he's settled down, though, Ben. He's not going to settle down here. Look, Ben, I don't like killings, now hang on to that temporary yours. Sure, sure, I'll hang on to it, Marshal, just as long as Frank Craig stays clear of me and stays away from my girl. Otherwise, I tell you right now, Marshal, I... Ben, is that you? Artists. We're in here, Connie. Come on in. Someone said you were here at the jail. Evening, Mr. Billum. Miss Nash. I'm sorry if I interrupted anything, but Ben, you know who's in town? Yeah, Frank Craig. That's what we were talking about, honey. He says he's come back for me. Take me away with him. What do you mean he says, Miss Nash? He came to the house a while ago. He knew about Ben and me. We were going to be married. We came anyway. I sent him away. That does it, Marshal. All right, hold it, Ben. Now, there's no harm in him just talking to her. The man's got a right to protect what's his, Marshal. Protections my business, Ben, and as long as I'm Marshal here, it'll keep on being my business. Now, in three days, you've got a wedding coming up.  I have nothing against Frank Craig, Mr. Billum. I wouldn't want him killed. Neither would I. Oh, good night, Miss Nash. Ben. All right. Think it over, Ben.  Yeah, sure, Marshal. I'll think it over. How long are we going to have to keep on riding herd on Frank Craig, Mr. Billum? Oh, just till he and Ben meet face to face and have their say, I guess. My, that Frank Craig sure is a fancy dresser. Silver spurs, red silk handkerchief, yellow boots. Oh, well, now, here's the Marshal right on the job. Hiya, Doc. Hiya, Matt.  You hope we have him. Oh, no, it's not the fee. It's a romance of the thing. Yeah, sure. Young man comes back in the West, sees girl, finds she's on the point of marriage. Chester, watch me for the play and keep me covered, huh? I don't know what you mean. Over there. Oh. Ben Martin and two of his boys, they just came in. I'm going to go over to the bar next to Craig.  Yes, Mr. Billum. You better give me some room, Doc. Well, how are you, Frank? Yeah, I saw him come in, too. You've been standing over there watching me for two hours. Now you come up and speak. I fight my own battles, Marshal. Frank, the way I'm playing it, there's not going to be a battle. Well, Ben, it's nice to see you. Marshal, I'd rather you weren't here. I guess you know that. Yeah, sure, I know that. Don't worry, Ben. The villain's neutral. That still gives you three-to-one odds. But more do you want. Frank, we don't need you in this town. You've gone for a year and we got along fine. So if you climb on that horse of yours and ride out again, we'll still get along fine. My girl won't, Ben. You haven't got a girl in Dodge City, Frank. Sure I have. And I want to thank you for looking out for her while I was away. As far as she's concerned, you're still away.  Ben, I never needed a guard to hold her.  You'll be there from now until the wedding. Oh, yeah, at the wedding. Well, Fred, that's been called off, Ben. You see, Artis and I have other plans. We've got a wedding of our own coming up.  Now, if either one of you draws, he's drawn against me. I wouldn't draw on him, Marshal. I feel kind of sorry for him. So help me, Marshal.  And each knows how the other one stands. Well, here's my stand. If Ben wants to keep a guard at her house, it's all right with me. You've had a fair warning, Frank, so stay away. I wish he would try to bother her. But on the other hand, Ben, Frank's got as much right to the run of the town as you or me or anybody else. Sure, as long as decent citizens hide their valuables. You can't go by rumors, Ben. Nobody ever proved a case against him, you know that. A piece of stout rope would prove... I wouldn't try it, Ben.  Stay out of the Texas Trail here from now on. You, Frank, stay clear of the Longhorn. Quite an optimist, Marshal. Yeah, maybe so. How about you leave them, Ben? Yeah, I'll be seeing you, Frank.  Frank, you've got nothing to gain here and everything to lose. Miss Nash has made a choice and whatever was between you once is water down the river. Why don't you pull out? Because she's still my girl, Matt. I know and she knows too. You wait and see. You're a move, man. Let's see now if I move there. You'll move there. Jumping my king block the whole corner. But if I move here... Oh, no. Mr. Dillon, you can move. No, you don't, Chester. I'm playing Matt, not the both of you. Chester and I kind of run together, Doc. That's the law. That's fine. Playing checkers, no. Matt, it's still your move. Yeah, I know. All right. That's... Well, I'll be... That's the move I was going to tell you to make, Mr. Dillon. Thanks, Chester. Doc, you're beat. Let's call a game. Yeah, you sneaked up to me. That's what you did to snuck up on me. Oh, well, that's all right. It sure is a quiet night. I figured one of them, too, would make a play before this. Yeah. I don't know if we can get past noon tomorrow with Ben and Ardus married. I don't even pray, God, to know when he's beaten. I don't know, Matt. He never did when he was here before. Now, let me better learn. Trying to get a girl to change your mind is one thing. But I don't know. Married woman's another. Mr. Dillon, it seems to me Miss Ardus Nash is the one that could put a stop to all this. If she'd just speak her mind out plain... Matt! Matt! Oh, now what's the matter with you? Matt, if they want you over at the express office right away, you too, doc. Oh, what's wrong? Hold up, Matt. Somebody shot the clerk. He's dying. Oh, yes, let me through here, please. I'm sorry. One side, please. One side, please. All right, stand back now. Give us some room. Can you get through, doc? Yeah, Matt, I get it. Yeah, the stand back. Yes, sir. Will you move them back? Make them stand back. Yes, sir, Mr. Dillon. Yes, let me have a look now. Just let me have a look. How does it look, doc? There's a lot of bleeding, Matt. I don't know. I'll do what I can. Mr. Dillon. Easy now, fella. You're going to be all right.  Red silk handkerchief. Oh, red silk handkerchief. Oh, Frank Craig's the only man who's here. Yeah. I know. We will return for the second act of gun smoke in just a moment. But first, tomorrow night, Vaughn Monroe and his musical company settle down for an evening's melody making at Duke University. Eileen Woods is Vaughn's guest songbird, band leader Vaughn, the moon maids and the moon men, join in playing and singing the top tunes of the week. Enjoy every bit of it tomorrow night on CBS Radio. Now, the second act of gun smoke. Mr. Dillon, maybe he's not going to come back here. His bedrolls here, Chester. All his belongings. Man doesn't leave his stuff in a rooming house unless he's planning to come back to it. He might have got the wind up after he shot that Kirk. Maybe he just hit the saddle and let out. No, not Frank. That's one thing about him. I've never seen him scared. He'll be here sooner or later. I can't figure it, Mr. Dillon. He must have needed the money off of bad. Yeah, I guess so. This hiding out in the dark gets on a man's nerves, don't it? Yeah, it sure does. It helps some if we could just smoke. I don't suppose... Somebody's coming, Mr. Dillon. Yeah, I hear him. That's him, all right. Now watch it, Chester. All right, hold it, Frank, and don't move. It's Matt Dillon. I thought it might be somebody else. I'd like to learn, Chester. Yes, Mr. Dillon. Frank, I understand you left the Texas trail right after dark. Nobody's seen you since. Where you been? Just friendly conversation, Marshal, or is this official? It's official. Then I guess you won't answer that. I see you're still wearing that red silk handkerchief. Any reason why you shouldn't be? Marshal, what's it all about? Murder. If that express clerk dies. I asked you, what's it all about? Where's the money, Frank? The way I seem to get it, somebody held up the express office and shot the clerk. You're accusing me. I didn't do it, Marshal. Where you been? Sorry, Marshal. You're under arrest, Frank. No, I'm afraid not. See, that would ruin all my plans. You better lay your gun on the table over there. I'm sorry, Marshal. Some other time. Grab him, Chester. Don't shoot, but grab him. He went through the window, Mr. Dillon. Never mind, Chester. Grab a blanket. Let's get this fire out before it burns the whole place down. Come on. Matt, don't look so sour. In an hour, it'll all be over. I kid you, I'd be a lot sure of that if I had Frank Craig locked up in jail. No trace of him, huh? Not a sign. Then forget about him, Matt. He could be halfway to Wyoming by now. Man, I wish I could think so. I wonder what artist Nash is thinking about him. What business has she got thinking about him when she's going to marry Ben in an hour? I'm afraid you'll just never understand women. Well, who does? Frank Craig's a born drifter. He'll never settle down. He's wild as a range, cold, never been broken, never will be. But sooner or later, he'll come home tight across his saddle. How any girl can get herself interested in a man like that beats me. Not me, Matt. I know exactly how a girl can get herself interested in a man like that. Why? I'll see you at the wedding. I got a health artist, Ben. Morning, Miss Kitty. Good morning, Doc. Good morning, Matt. You working up your courage? What for, Doc? I'm not getting married. How's the express clerk? Oh, he's bad. He's getting worse. I don't think he's going to make it. What about Frank Craig? Nothing, not a sign. I think he's still around town somewhere. Morning, Mr. Dillon. Well, Doc? Doc, look at that. Well, look, Ed. An alpaca coat, borrowed shirt, green galaxies, and the pink subtypes. Oh, well, Chester, I haven't seen you get up like that since I hauled out of Boston. Well, I figured it was only due respect to Brian. Uh, where's your gun, Chester? Oh, goodness gracious, Mr. Dillon, you can't wear a gun to a wedding. Well, at this wedding, even the bridegroom's wearing a gun, Chester. I'm wearing one, and so are you, so you better go get it. Meet me at the church. He is so pretty, I wish I was married to him myself. You better forget it, Chester. Ben's got enough worries as it is. He sure does look fidgety, all right. Yeah, he's got reasons. Room for me here, Matt. Oh, yeah, sure, kitty. Yeah, slide right in here. Here we are. It is the privilege of all of us to be gathered here together in the sight of the Lord, and in the presence of one another, for the purpose of uniting this man and this woman in the bonds of holy matrimony. It won't be long now, Mr. Dillon. Yeah, that's sooner than better. Barbara Hardish-Nash, and Benjamin Martin. There is, I am sure, known as the solemn and sacred nature of the great institutions into which they are about to enter. I never heard all of it before. You still want to marry her, Chester? Beyond and above the decay and corruption of the flesh and the devil.  He's just standing there, Mr. Dillon. Just standing there and looking. Slide out to the side aisle, Chester. Maybe we can get to him quietly without breaking up the meeting. I think it's already broken up. I understand you, Mr. Dillon. She fell right on the floor. Yeah. Come on, Chester. Pardon me. Would you let me through, please? I'm sorry, lady. One side, please. He was right here by the door. Outside, Chester. Hell, no sign of him. Matt, did you find him, Matt? Not yet, Ben. Put that gun away.  There's only one man I want to kill. I should have done it three days ago. Yeah, I know, Ben. What'd they do with Ms. Nash? They carried her into the minister's study. That dirty look. Walking right into the church. Scared her out of her wits. I'm Marshall Dillon. Oh, over here, Reverend. I'm Marshall. A terrible thing is happening. He forced his way into my study. He pushed me out the door. Craig? Yes. He had a horse tied behind the church. He's gone and taken her with him. He's kidnapped her, Matt. He's kidnapped. Save your breath, Ben. Get your horse. Come on, Chester. Let's ride. I never did think we'd get back to town, Mr. Dillon. I'm saddle, sore, and beat. Yeah, Chester. A hundred men hunting him and he slipped past all of them. I swear I just can't figure it. Is that a man? Not a sign, Kenny. Some of the boys are still beating the riverbed soft, but I don't know. Guess he kind of made fools of us, Mr. Dillon. Yeah, I guess so, Chester. Hey, any luck? Yeah, sure, Doc. All bad. Yeah, mind you, man. That clerk died half all of them. So now it's murder, Mr. Dillon? Yeah.  Well, let's go into the office and get out of bullets. Not a good deal, though. Light the lamp, will you, Chester? Yes, sir. There we are. I mean... Hold it, Matt. You two, Chester, don't move. The only place nobody'd ever think of looking. Right here in the jail. Yeah. That's what we figured. Hell, Miss Nash, you seem to be in pretty fair shape for a kidnapped victim. I'm not a victim of anything, Mr. Dillon. Unless it's my own foolishness. I said most people would say, I guess. Maybe they're right. I only know this. When Frank came back to town, I knew then that it wasn't over and never would be. I'm Frank's girl, Mr. Dillon. We're better or worse, right or wrong. I'm going with him to Wyoming. He's wanted on suspicion of murder, Miss Nash. He didn't do it. He couldn't have. He was with me when it happened. What did you say? He slipped past Ben's guards and came to see me. That's why he wouldn't tell you where he'd been. He didn't want to get me in trouble. Just tell him the truth, Marshall. Yeah, maybe. Mr. Dillon, you might ask Ben Martin what happened to my red silk scarf. I missed it right after he came to see me that afternoon. Go on. He didn't do it for the money. It's a ruin me once and for all. If we were lying, we wouldn't have come here, Mr. Dillon. That makes sense, all right, but... Chester, who wrote up out there? It's Ben Martin, Mr. Dillon. I think he's coming in here. Where's your horse, Frank? The corral back of the jail? All right, go out the back way. Get it in the head for Wyoming. Take one of my extra horses and leave it at Bison Flatch. You can buy another horse from the Indians there. Matt, I don't know how we can ever thank you. Never mind that. Just get going before I change my mind. And good luck to both of you. Thanks, Mr. Dillon. Everybody here? Yeah, come on in, Ben. Right on. I figured you must be here. Can you sign up? What's the matter? The clerk died. Why'd you do it, Ben? I don't know what you mean. Where's the red scarf you stole from Miss Nash? I gotta arrest you for murder, Ben. I don't think so, Matt. I don't think I'm gonna let you do that. You better give me your gun, Ben. Don't do it the hard way. What you call the hard way, Matt, may be the easiest way of all. So win or lose, I guess... Something fell out of his pocket there. Yeah, his marriage license. Gun smoke under the direction of Norman McDonald stars William Conrad as Matt Dillon, U.S. Marshal. Tonight's story was specially written for gun smoke by Les Crutchfield, with music composed and conducted by Rex Corey.

Join us again next week as Matt Dillon, U.S. Marshal, fights to bring law and order out of the wild violence of the West in gun smoke. As colorful as the Western Roundup and twice the fun, that's the Gene Autry Show which comes your way every Saturday evening over CBS Radio. It's one of radio's most distinctive programs, flavored to taste with songs of the sagebrush and melodies of the Mesquite Country. The Gene Autry Show is 30 minutes you'll enjoy, packed full of comedy, songs, and the genial personality of the one and only Gene Autry. The whole Melody Ranch gang is on hand to entertain you tomorrow night, every Saturday night. So tune in the Gene Autry Show and hit the pleasure trail over most of the same CBS stations. Clancy Cassell speaking. And remember Broadway as My Beat brings you startling mysteries Saturday nights on the CBS Radio Network.
