Family Theater: Passion and Death

The mutual broadcasting system in cooperation with Family Theater Incorporated presents Mith's Ethel Barrymore, in a dramatic narration of The Passion and Death. Miss Barrymore will be introduced by tonight's host, Guy Madison. More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of.

The Passion and Death is a love story. A true story. That recounts events in the lives of men and women who live many years ago, but the events of their lives are as real today as if they happened only yesterday.

These events give meaning to the sufferings in life, give meaning to sacrifice in our lives, because they are an inspiration to lift our sorrows and crosses out of the hopelessness and despair you hear so much about today.

Yes, only love gives meaning to sacrifice. For centuries, this story has inspired men and women in all parts of the world to give themselves generously and unselfishly in service to their fellow men and in charity to all.

We present Ms. Ethel Barrymore in a dramatic narration of the greatest love story the world has known. The story of God's love for men. For the festival day of the past, Jesus knowing that his hour has come, that he should depart out of this world unto the Father.

Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them unto the end. Then they were gathered together, the chief priests and ancients of the people in the court of the high priest who was called Kairvus, and they said among themselves, But this man doth many miracles.

Yes, they speak of one four days in a grave whom he has raised her life. For three years now, he's gone throughout the towns and villages of Palestine, healing and helping the sick, speaking his message of brotherhood.
