Transcript
Family Theater presents Barry Sullivan and Jim Backis. From Hollywood, the mutual network in cooperation with Family Theater presents the other sheep, starring Jim Backis. And now here is your host, Barry Sullivan. 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. And out to our transcribed drama, The Other Sheep, starring Jim Bacchus as Bert. You'll step out out of your front porch, and you're fortunate enough to have a clear night where you live.
You'll see the stars. And they'll look like they've always looked, like a thousand bright specks against the darkness of night. But this time, look a little longer, And think of them for what they really are.
There are stars like our own sun, burning with an almost impossible fury in envelopes of their own flaming gases, orbiting planets which reflect the fires of their suns. And if you'll look for a long time, you'll probably see a shooting star, which is actually not a star at all, but a meteorite, perhaps no larger than a grain of sand, exploding with
heat on meeting the friction of Earth's atmosphere. Then there's another kind of star. A kind you'd never see from your front porch, or even in the reflector of a powerful telescope, because it gives no light.
Our story is about such a star, and about four men and a woman who visited 100 years in the future. Pardon me, could you direct me to Area 12? Area 12. That's a restricted area.
