Thank you, Tony Lefrano. Family Theater's only purpose is to bring to everyone's attention of 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 theatre urges you to pray. Pray together as a family.

Now to our transcribed drama, Hound of Heaven, starring Dan O'Hurloughy as Francis Thompson and Raymond Burr as the narrator. I fled him, I fled him down the nights. Yes, you fled him. I fled him down the nights and down the days.

Yes, you twisted, turned, tried to escape. From those strong feet that followed, followed after. But did you ever really escape him? His name was Francis Thompson. And of all the lonely 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. Here, you there, get up! Come on, get up, I say. Yes, you can't sleep here, you know that.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Come on, get along with you, get along with you. For Francis Thompson, waking upon the Thames in Bankment, it. Each morning was a slow return to pain. A remembrance of dreams made hideous by field, twisted by hunger. Dreams of delirium shot through with dying stars and the revisionist.
