God with a rather expensive church to

keep up I'm sure he'll understand the

situation when I explain it it's time

for the evening services would you care

to come with me in church what an old

father oh yeah please come and see her

there I wouldn't worry about mr. Olaf's

revenge mr. Donigan there isn't anything

that anyone can do to st. Michael's at

the wind rain and coal dust haven't

already done.

[Music]

Not much of a house we're fixing the

leaks in the roof I didn't mean that I

mean nobody out front

you know attending it's just an off

night know we hardly ever have more than

a dozen so the men are tired when they

come out of the mines and the women well

the women also work very hard here in

gold town seems they're almost too tired

to come to God.

Oh statues look rather lonely don't they

see isn't that our boy up there

yes Saint Michael the Archangel I

thought so it's a shame a house like

this I think your church needs a press

agent father God doesn't need a press

agent I'm not so sure

once upon a time if I remember rightly

he had 12 very good press agents top men

I never thought of the apostles it's

prestige what else were they

I stole the biggest story that ever

happened to a whole world and without

the benefit of newspapers and radio

terrific job oh yes terrific job you

stay for the services I don't think so

father I guess I haven't been inside a

church since my mother stopped taking me

she died when I was seven

she was a Protestant

you won't change your mind and stay as a.

Protestant no stop it some other time I

will see you tomorrow

can I kill all you should talk to me

about these hills

partin's couple of the flowers recall

this whole town doesn't look so bad from

here the coal dust doesn't blow up here

flowers are always clean fire to live

down there

I think I'd welcome coming up here for a

good long sleep perhaps most of you do

oh good morning buddy

good morning you know that song

yeah it's August hang it for me once she

said it was about coming home after

you've been away for a long time yes

it's a sort of a Polish home sweet home

as an English translation to yearns the

weary Rover ever home would ever home

till the journeys over warm embraces

friendly faces saying welcome home let

me live and eat the sky Nevermore.

Holmwood yearns the weary Rover ever

home would ever home

[Music]

Now the journey is oh thank you Father

that song makes cool town seem different

somehow when you're up here you can

understand coal town he realized that

the sins of the poor are mostly in their

poverty not in themselves my own small

trouble seemed very unimportant my

failure is insignificant you're afraid

your father oh yes

when I was ordained I came here filled

with a zeal and confidence of a crusader.

Saint Michael and I would form a

partnership and make over a coal town

that I had forgotten that the first

lesson a young student learns in a

seminary is humility tell me more about

Olga I asked a friend if she had heard

of Olga chess Kovner the movie actors

she said she hadn't I told her she was

very famous they wouldn't let her become
