indignant forgive me ronnie for the way i screamed at you when i found out what you'd done i i was bitter bitter against you hatefully bitter and i probably would have disowned you if it hadn't been that your father's influence smoothed things over so our friends didn't find out we tried to sell our conscience we took you to church the following sunday the probation officer suggested it too and for the first time i did some serious thinking maybe it was because in another church far less pretentious god was speaking to mary she was god's voice in our home ronnie but i was too class conscious to recognize it the very next day she tried to tell you how to find the faith she had in god i overheard her tell you let jesus come into your heart ronnie that's all you need and i quickly put a stop to what i considered an intelligent nonsense but i was thinking ronnie i knew that dear matty had a knowledge of god far beyond my understanding but i was too proud to seek it [Music] what's the idea ron you didn't think we'd show up again did you oh we gonna wait for you guys who are you drawing a kid honest ron all right listen you two guys from now on we're doing the main act see up till now it's been kid stuff we couldn't pull any big jobs until we got ourselves a car you never told me she was gonna use the car stop take it easy ron you're crying out loud use your head want to end up

this time we lost to completely ronnie and i like a blindfold did nothing about it you were lost and so was i all right here we go so what did you say tom well it got to the point where i had to say look charlie if you haven't got it you just haven't got it that's all so [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] ah [Music] that's a glorious hymn of faith praise god for such a hymn i wonder if there be any special request for prayer to god tonight i want you to keep praying for my people they are so far from god i don't know what will happen [Music] so ronnie wait a minute ronnie boy please don't go out but there's a kid waiting for me oh he won't mind i baked you a chocolate cake you ain't got too big to like and matty's chocolate cake but this kid he's waiting for me why don't you go bring him i'll pop your popcorn i'll make you furred we'll have us a party go on what if mark comes this kid isn't very fancy they'll be out late ronnie and anyway i don't think she's mine well okay i'll go get him [Music] [Music] so [Music] [Music] [Music] this place will be a cinch to knock over loopy as soon as those guys leave all we got to worry about is a watchman there's your checkout oh okay thanks all right so long there's a back door here we can jimmy in no time [Music] [Music] [Music] is [Music] keep your blood pressure down listen i think he's coming we'd better hide don't forget our plan now [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] look officer you've really got us over a barrel try and see it our way i'm trying to see your side of it mr aberdeen in fact i see your side a little bit clearer than you do yourself officer we appreciate the consideration you've shown us before it would have killed me if you'd let the newspapers blame ronnie for all this he's a good boy i don't want you to misunderstand me mrs aberdeen i get too much personal heartache at my work to enjoy hurting others but it might interest you to know that 95 of the juvenile cases we handle stem directly to a home problem in some form but you can't say that about our home let's face it kate well there's no point in arguing about it but i wish there was some way that we could get rid of this loopy character he's the one that's been influencing ronnie officer all right i'll tell you what we're going to do mr aberdeen i've been doing some investigating and i find that loopy's father is due for parole suppose uh you find him a job in your company's plant at leeds city well that would be wonderful can you arrange anything tom it wouldn't be too difficult if the man had any possibilities at all the parole board gives a good report on them we'll do that after the boys are separated though it's your problem remember your son was after the watchman's revolver and if he ever attempts armed robbery we'll have to send him away it was a great relief to me the day your father completed arrangements for lupi and his family to leave town you were of course placed under strict probation [Music] your father tried don't blame him [Music] like me he didn't admit that our need just as yours was beyond ourselves christmas came and i tried to make the most of it for your happiness and yet the very thought of christmas was an indictment upon my soul i was fighting god ronnie and the things i did were only a veneer covering the terrible battle raging inside [Music] maddie made her last bit for our souls those days it was god talking again but i didn't listen [Music] [Music] wow [Music] so [Music] [Music] dear loopy i've been laying low playing the act now i'm on my own again so how about those big jobs we had planned look loopy i bought a gun off a kid we're all set got a hot idea and a big job we can pull the cinch we can't miss here's a deal my old man and my mom be hitting it hard new year's eve we'll be out all night at case to tear we could stick up we should really make a hall then we can blow for good and not leave any tracks write me general delivery your pal ron [Laughter] oh [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Music] um [Music] [Applause] [Music] oh ronnie [Music] so [Music] [Music] this is a sticker ah you're just a kid going home and going to bed come on let's have us in the cash register [Music] i can't understand it we we gave ronnie everything why didn't he stay away from those other boys they should be punished instead of him they let him into this it isn't fair he was all confused he didn't know what he was doing [Music] he dear ron i got your letter and didn't show it to nobody me and my dad is going straight and besides remember you let me down at the warehouse please don't pull the stick up ron go straight [Music] it's our fault tom mine more than yours i found this in ronnie's room it's from loopy we were wrong tom it wasn't the environment of boys like luffy that led ronnie astray it was our home that did it we've got to find god tom we maddie tell us how to find god there's only one thing that keeps us from god rejecting the lord jesus jesus says i am the way the truth and life and no man cometh on the father but by me the bible tell us that all have sinned and come short of the glory of god we must see ourselves and call on the lord jesus to save us there's no other way i confessed my sin ronnie i put my complete trust in jesus and he forgave me and cleansed me oh honey can you forgive me can you learn to love me if i'm the kind of mother god wants me to be we'll find our way back there jesus said him that cometh unto me i will in no wise cast out [Music] you
