Thank you, Tony Lefrano. Family Theater's only purpose is to bring to everyone's attention a practice that must become an important part of our lives. If we are to win peace for ourselves, peace for our families, and peace for the world, family theater urges you to pray, pray together as a family.

Tonight, family theater takes great pleasure in presenting The Hound of Heaven, starring Mel Ferrer as Francis Thompson and Rotto Connor as the narrator. I fled him. I fled him down the nights.

Yes, you fled him, you alluded him. I fled him down the nights and down the days. Yes, you twisted turn, tried to escape him. But did you ever really escape him? Wither shall I go from my spirit, or wither shall I flee from my face.

If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there. If I descend into hell thou art present. His name was Francis Thompson of all alonely and obscure men who lived in London that year of 1887.

None had made his bed in hell more surely than he. For him, each night was a lying down in hunger and fear. Each morning, a slow awakening to pain. Yeah, there you there. Good time.

Come on, that's my safe. Yes. Yes. You can't sleep there, you know that. I know. I'm sorry, officer. All right, now, get along with you. Come on, how long will you, I say? Where Francis Thompson, waking up on the Thames embankment, each morning was a slow return to pain, the remembrance of dreams twisted by hunger made hideous by fear.
