Think Of This
‘‘The glowing, competent pray
er of a man of character has a
great dynamic,” James 5:16
(Montgomery).
We Christians hear much and
talk much about prayer, but most
of us let the matter go. at that.
The writer of this Scripture verse
is talking about prayer as “dyna
mite,” and that is exactly what it
is. The root word iis the same for
dynamite, dynamic , or power.
Prayer is explosive. But the writer
does not say this is true of any
man’s prayer. He specifies the
“man of character.” Only that man
who roots his faith very firmly in
the Lord has the spiritual power to
iceberg colliding. Camera work
throughout the film is topnotch,
adding much to the film’s realistic
appeal. Many of the sea scenes,
although filmed in 20th Century
studio sets, actually smack of the
rolling, rough, dangerous deep.
Casting has been handled wisely
and deliberately by Hathaway, the
result of which is three excellent,
well-defined characterizations. Wid
mark is, as always, sensational.
Lionel Barrymore, for the first
time since “You Can’t Take It
With You” leaves his wheelchair
to wear crutches and turns in one
of his finest performances. Arid
Dean Stpckwcll as the sea-struck
grandson, aptly manages to jerk
a tear now and then.
