Family Theater takes great pleasure in presenting Star of Wonder

Speaker 3 (01:45):
Once upon a time, in a great.
Speaker 4 (01:47):
Observatory on a pine covered mountain in the Western State.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
There lived three wise old men. There was even Joe, who.
Speaker 5 (01:55):
Had spent his entire life in the study of.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
The Saturnian rings.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Thickness of these readings is very small, perhaps even less
than ten miles.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
No viols in the un and there.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
Was Otto Schwartz, a recognized authority on lunar craters the.
Speaker 6 (02:12):
Moon's surface offers as astounding evidence of the effect of widespread.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
Volcanic fiss And finally there was Waller Ethan, whose monograph
on the atmosphere of Venus was an astronomic landmark.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Further confirmation of the supposition that the physical surface of
Venus is the top of a cloud bank, is.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
Evidenced by the color of them.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
There they were, the three of them, isolated in the
lonely mountaintop observatory, each tolerating the other two. No more
they knew about Saturn and the Moon and Venus, these.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
Three wise men, But they had forgotten about people, about love,
about Christmas. And then it happened.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
Even had gone for the mail that morning, and when
he returned from the half smile height to the bar.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
And how I.
Speaker 6 (03:04):
Ask you, Walter, how was I to know that it
was your notes?
Speaker 3 (03:07):
An old strap of paper, scrap of paper.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Six months work? Can you use it to light your cigar?
Why do you have to smoke the smelly things in
the tower room?
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Anyway, at this pleasure, you are not denying me. Walt
eat them that I burn the notes? I am sorry.
I will help you gather the data again.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
You will and what makes you feel that you are
qualified to help me as summer material on the atmospheric.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
Changes of Venus.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
So stop, you're light two children? Why must there be
this constant vickery? Oh even you're back?
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Any mail?
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Yes, the Journal of Astronomy for you, Walter, and the
Christmas Circular for you atter Christmas Circular?
Speaker 3 (03:48):
Pair? Do the days go to the end of another year?
You're coming. I've been waiting for the Journal.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
This is the issue in which God had promised to
make a fool of himself.
Speaker 6 (03:57):
The air must be chili this morning, even reflushed in
the face. You haven before the week is out out
to Walter.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
There was one other thing in the mail this morning.
Another thing what not? A letter from the trustees.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
I hope the letter was for me, but it affects
us all, so I thought I should read it to you.
It's from a woman named Farren. She lived next to
my sister in Orange, New Jersey. She writes that my
(04:33):
sister has died.
Speaker 7 (04:34):
No, I'm so sorry, Evans. I did not know you
had a sister. I thought you were alone like me.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
She was a younger sister. I haven't seen her for years,
twenty years or more.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
It must be.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
It's hard to grasp a death when it happens far
from us.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
She was married, the sister. She was a widow. Her
husband died several years ago.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
The work of yours that I can do today. Even wait,
there's there's more more. She left a child, a child,
a daughter named Eve. How old is the girl even ten?
I've never seen her. We didn't correspond, my sister and I.
(05:20):
I suppose I should have kept in touch, but it's
easy to forget up here.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
I hope the child is well provided for. She isn't.
Speaker 8 (05:29):
The girl has nothing, no one even a little money
I have saved if it will help.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
And count on me too.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Very generous of you both. But it isn't money that's
the worry. The child has no home home. Surely even
you didn't think.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
I know how you feel.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
But it was my sister's last request, according to this
feral woman that eb Be sent to me, bring a
child here to the observatory.
Speaker 8 (06:01):
I know how it sounds, a ten year old girl here.
Even this, you cannot seriously consider.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Why it's preposterous.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
The notion of keeping this girl in the observatory is unthinkable.
I agree with you, Walsh. We can't keep her here permanently,
but until I can make other arrangement. Children have no
respect for routine life. Here will be in thorough and
Walter for a little while, until Even makes this arrangement.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
All so, you're both.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Against me, not against Walter. It won't be an ideal situation,
I admit it. But until I can properly place the
child's very well, as long as we understand that this
is a temporary arrangement, well.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
It may take me a little time to find a
school that will accept her. Why should that be if
we are prepared to pay the price.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
One thing I forgot to mention, Eve is blind.
Speaker 9 (07:15):
Where are we now, uncle, even.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
By the mail box on the road, or we're still
a half mile from the observatory.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
Are you sure you feel like walking it?
Speaker 9 (07:25):
I'll be fine if we go slow and you hold
my hand.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
All right? The trails rather steep.
Speaker 9 (07:31):
There are tall pine trees here, aunt their Uncle Evan.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Yes, their fines They surround the observatory.
Speaker 9 (07:38):
I can hear the wind walking through them. Is the
observatory tower very high, Uncle Evan? I?
Speaker 3 (07:44):
Why yes, I suppose it is.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
This is a very high mountain, and the tower is
almost one hundred feet above the.
Speaker 9 (07:52):
Summit, so close to the stars.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Am I going too fast for you?
Speaker 10 (07:57):
Hello?
Speaker 9 (07:57):
No, I'm all right, Mommy, sit tell me about you,
Uncle Evan. Now I used to think of you high
high in the sky, your head covered with stars.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
Well that's not quite the way of it. Uh.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Uh, Evie, you know there are two other men. That's
that's the observatory with me, the.
Speaker 9 (08:15):
Three wise men.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
You know we uh, we.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Haven't had much experience with uh, very younger people. So
if you'll try to remember that, I'm sure we'll all
get along very well together.
Speaker 9 (08:28):
I remember, Uncle Evan, you haven't seen the wise man
star this year yet?
Speaker 3 (08:35):
Mmm?
Speaker 1 (08:36):
No, no, nothing, devil then, uh, don't sleep. It's quite
a drop off the trail here.
Speaker 10 (08:41):
I'm all right.
Speaker 9 (08:42):
As long as I have your hand, Uncle Evan. Up here,
I feel so much closer to the stars, so much closer.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
Such a strange one. She is not an ordinary little.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Girl at all, Walter, What do you know about ordinary
little girl?
Speaker 6 (09:11):
She says so little, and yet there is a feeling
when she's in a room as if she were talking,
saying things that cannot be put in words. And I
do not make good sense that can't be blamed on
the child. I wonder if Even is doing anything.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
About a school for her. He has, I think, written
some letters. Otto.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
I don't mean to let him forget that this is
a temporary arrangement.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
I don't think he win. Walter has said, has she
asked you about the star? The star? What star?
Speaker 1 (09:46):
There are millions of stars, and why should she ask
me about one of them?
Speaker 3 (09:50):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (09:50):
Several times she mentions it to me since she comes,
as if I should know.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Of it, or some childless game. Where is she now?
With Even? I think I've seen her, seen suffer. She
knows her place.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
I'll give her that doesn't intrude all the same, this
won't be a fit place to work until she goes.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
Which of you had my slide rule?
Speaker 1 (10:13):
I use my own instruments, no one else.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
Maybe I use it deeven, but I put it back
in the case. I'm sure anyway it is a vehicle. More.
Where zbe? Phoebe with you?
Speaker 1 (10:25):
We thought she was, and I thought she came in
hereafter supper plenty.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
I suppose she is her room the tower, chacking her room. Otto,
I look up in the.
Speaker 9 (10:37):
Tower, Starve unders start light Star with Brian Beauty by.
Speaker 10 (11:00):
Uncle Evan.
Speaker 9 (11:01):
I didn't hear yoube.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
What are you doing up here that secular staircase? You
might have fallen?
Speaker 9 (11:07):
Oh, I wasn't afraid, not a bit. You're all busy
in Oh. I wanted to be close to the stars.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
Star. What star?
Speaker 1 (11:17):
You shouldn't be up here alone with all this equipment.
These telescopes are set. You might have bumped into one
of them and spoiled everything.
Speaker 9 (11:26):
Uncle Evan. It's only a week now till Christmas. The
stars should be in the sky Christmas.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
What stars should be in the sky?
Speaker 9 (11:37):
The star that the wise men followed the wise Man?
When Mom used to tell me the Christmas story, I
think how lucky you were to be able to see
the stars?
Speaker 3 (11:47):
So plain Christmas story. You don't still believing that? Do
you believe it?
Speaker 9 (11:55):
Of course? Mom said they couldn't say the star at
home because there was it's only so much smoke. But
up here, well, I can feel that I'm close to it.
If I could see, oh I did, I could show
you just where to find it.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
Oh, that's a story for babies.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
You've grown up, ev You'll find no such star in
the sky and you must promise me not to come
up here ever again. I've lived all my life with
the stars, my dear. Don't you think i'd know if
there were such a star.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
I don't want to hear any more about it.
Speaker 9 (12:30):
If if you'd only look, I'll.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
Help you down to bed.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
If you're going to stay here with us, you'll have
to learn to live our me take our word for
the things we know.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Now you understand, yes, Uncle Eban, I'm sorry that I
spoke to you so so roughly, But it's for your own.
Speaker 9 (12:51):
Good, for my own good to forget about the star
in the eastern me.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Of course, there's no time for such stories here, all right, uncle.
And the soon as you forget them, the happier you
will be, the happier we'll all be.
Speaker 9 (13:25):
Then, Herod, when he had privily called the wise man,
inquired of them diligently what time the star appeared? And
he sent them to bestly him, and said, go and
search diligently for the young child, And when you have
found him, bring me word again that I may come
and worship him. Also.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
Oh, it's getting laid ebe. Don't you think you'd better go?
Speaker 10 (13:49):
Please?
Speaker 9 (13:50):
Uncle Evan, there's just a little more about the star.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
Let's her finish, even she reads it good.
Speaker 9 (13:57):
When they had heard the king, they departed, and lo,
the star which they saw in the east went before them,
because I came and stood over where the young child was.
And when they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding
great joy.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
You were hardly touching the braill Evie.
Speaker 9 (14:16):
I've read that part so many times. I know it
by heart.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
I don't put now.
Speaker 9 (14:20):
Oh, I'd give anything if I could see that star
that the wise Man's low.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
Evie.
Speaker 9 (14:26):
Oh, I'm sorry, Uncle Eban. I know you don't like
to talk about it, but there must have been like
you three who was like us, the three wise men.
They probably lived in a place like this and watched
the stars same as you. Just think how excited they
must have been to see that new star in the sky.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
It's almost ten o'clock, Evie. No scientific record of their discovery. Yeah, uh,
shake my hand, and baby.
Speaker 9 (14:53):
Oh, I do wonderfully well by myself now, Uncle Eban,
I can go almost any place in the observatory and
never stumbled one.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Good night, little one.
Speaker 9 (15:02):
Good night, Uncle Uncle Walter. Tonight I'm going to dream
about Christmas.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
Put out the lights down here. When you're through, I'm
going up the car.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
It's good to turn your eyes to the stars. They
don't change all in their places, just as they've been
for millions of years. Star in the Eastern Childless story,
there's no such star there, and never was. Child used
(15:47):
to be so upset. It's the girl. You must go
as soon as the holiday is over. I must find
another place for it.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
And as soon as the holidays. What was that in
the tower of something for you? It must be up there.
I thought you told that child I did. She's disobeyed.
Stand there, let's see what she smashed. What have you done?
Speaker 10 (16:20):
Oh?
Speaker 9 (16:20):
I'm sorry, Uncle Evin. I didn't know how it happened. Oh, sir,
must have moved it. He was never there before.
Speaker 6 (16:28):
A big classed encompass now Switzerland.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
I ruined a valuable instrument, and now look at it. Chunk,
nothing but chunk.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Afore you promised me that you'd never come up those
stairs again.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
What did she mean? The compass had never been there before.
How many times do you come to this towero media?
Speaker 9 (16:48):
Oh I've been coming up here every night as you
all go.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
To bed every night. What in the world would you
want to come up here for the star.
Speaker 9 (16:57):
I can almost believe that. I see that here. Well,
I just felt sort of well, sort of lonely since
I came to live here, and the star was the
thing I could hold on to.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
I told you once before, Evie, there was no such star. Oh,
but Uncle Kevin in the book itself, I can see, Evie.
I've looked through the telescope night after night all my life,
and there is no such star.
Speaker 10 (17:23):
Oh. I can't believe it. I can't.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
I leave it to Walter to Otto. Is there a
star in the east?
Speaker 3 (17:30):
Done? U?
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Star that comes only at special times of the year.
Of course not even this is ridicious, Hotto.
Speaker 8 (17:37):
No, No, there is no such star, little one.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
Now do you believe me?
Speaker 10 (17:42):
Oh?
Speaker 9 (17:42):
I care the stars all God.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
Go to your room.
Speaker 9 (17:48):
You can't believes the star that is there, and you
can't see your good.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
Should one of us follow her? Even?
Speaker 8 (17:59):
No?
Speaker 3 (17:59):
No, let her alone. Weather's closing in will be snow
before morning. Visibility is limited, Yes, visibility is very limited.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
Why can't I sleep? I can't I sleep. I've got
to make sure she's all right? Is that you even utto?
Speaker 3 (18:43):
Yes? I couldn't sleep. I thought I'd look in on
Ebe just to make sure she's all right. It's snowing
very hard. Utto the door to her oom is standing open.
She's gone. Even look at the bed. It hasn't been
slept in at all. It can't be gone.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
There's no place for her to go. She's run away
outside in this storm. Oh no, even what have we
done to We've got to find her. Otto, We've got
to find her.
Speaker 10 (19:25):

her that she was.
Speaker 11 (20:30):
She's fighting pneumonia exposure shock, but she she will be

Speaker 3 (20:35):
She's a very sick youngster. I wish I could take
her to the hospital, but I'm afraid the movie. I
will take care of her. Just tell us what we
must do.
Speaker 11 (20:43):
And I've given her a shot of Panslain. I'll need
some medicine here, and I want you to force liquids. Anna,
I'll be back in the morning.

We followed durr instructions doctor as she took the medicine.
We forced the liquids, and one of us was bit
her all the time.
Speaker 11 (21:45):
Usually kids her as kick right back react in less
than twenty four hours.
Speaker 3 (21:50):
Oh, but she's not fighting it at all. Anything that
we can do to help her, just tell us stop her.
We haven't quit yet, so that's not going to be a.
Speaker 11 (21:59):
Very merri Christmas for the product. Again, this is Christmas, Eve,
isn't it over here in the morning. If she should
get worse, you'll just have to try to get through
to me.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
If she gets worse, she doesn't want to get well.
She's not fighting at all, and it's our fault. The
(22:31):
only thing she found here to love we tried to
take from her.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
She believed in the star. She really believed. Do you
know until she came I had forgotten that story.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
We had nothing to believe in, so her faith aster.
Speaker 9 (22:49):
Did you see the star?
Speaker 3 (22:51):
Even?
Speaker 7 (22:52):
Do you think if we if we took her up
there to the tower room, the doctor said it was
dangerous to move for what if.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
She could believe? Again? What get that extra blanket? Don't
help me. We're going up to the telescope.
Speaker 9 (23:22):
I don't believe or where we're going.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
We're in the tower room, but the big telescope. Ev
it's it's Christmas. Eve. We thought you might like to
be near the star.
Speaker 9 (23:37):
You don't believe it's Sarah. You don't believe in, Sir?
Speaker 3 (23:41):
Tell us where to look? Evie, we want to believe.
Help us swear? Will it be Evie?
Speaker 10 (23:47):
You want to believe?
Speaker 3 (23:48):
Yes, yes, Ceve, we do help us. Ev tell us
where to look.
Speaker 9 (23:54):
It was in the east and it was very bright.
If if you believe it, I believe you must be
able to see it tonight. Of all, let me see
you're looking in the telescope.
Speaker 3 (24:08):
Yes, have I don't see anything yet, ev.
Speaker 9 (24:13):
Keep looking, uncle, even, keep looking.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
I see it, Otto, Walter, Look it is there a
great shiny star.
Speaker 3 (24:22):
Weather there's never been a star before. Let me see. Yes,
it can't be there, it can't.

And still it is a beautiful starry, a magnificent star,

And when they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding
great joy, with exceeding great joy.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
This is Pat O'Brien again.
Speaker 4 (25:56):
During the season of the year, there's a lot of
praying going on, and that's a very good thing. And
since some of these prayers are set to music to
form carols during the Christmas season, it gives us an
opportunity for a musical illustration of what we mean when
we speak of the beauty of family prayer. With mister
Zimmerman's help, we'll use the family of stringed instruments in
our illustration.
Speaker 3 (26:17):
We'll start with the father and then the mother.
Speaker 4 (26:38):
Then let's say there's one son.
Speaker 3 (26:50):
And one daughter. Pretty good thing, isn't she.
Speaker 4 (27:03):
Now each of the members of this musical family is
capable of carrying the melody of this beautiful Christmas hymn
without any help from the others. But listen to them
play the same melody, not as individual instruments, but as
a family of instruments. You see, You see how the
(27:27):
harmony adds beauty, how the melody gains new importance.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
Family prayer is much the same. A prayer is music
to God.
Speaker 4 (27:37):
And since we were created by Him, and since it
is through Him that all good comes to us, then
shouldn't we strive to make our prayers as worthy as possible,
as beautiful as possible. There's really no doubt that the
members of the family praying as individuals do make music
in heaven. But when they pray together, well, then they
(27:59):
make it consonant. Oh there's one another argument in favor
of family prayer. It's a promise that family theater uses
(28:21):
for a slogan the family that prays together stays together.
Speaker 9 (28:28):
More things are run by prayer than this world dreams of.

Speaker 3 (01:45):
Once upon a time, in a great.
Speaker 4 (01:47):
Observatory on a pine covered mountain in the Western State.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
There lived three wise old men. There was even Joe, who.
Speaker 5 (01:55):
Had spent his entire life in the study of.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
The Saturnian rings.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Thickness of these readings is very small, perhaps even less
than ten miles.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
No viols in the un and there.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
Was Otto Schwartz, a recognized authority on lunar craters the.
Speaker 6 (02:12):
Moon's surface offers as astounding evidence of the effect of widespread.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
Volcanic fiss And finally there was Waller Ethan, whose monograph
on the atmosphere of Venus was an astronomic landmark.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Further confirmation of the supposition that the physical surface of
Venus is the top of a cloud bank, is.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
Evidenced by the color of them.
Speaker 4 (02:33):
There they were, the three of them, isolated in the
lonely mountaintop observatory, each tolerating the other two. No more
they knew about Saturn and the Moon and Venus, these.
Speaker 3 (02:46):
Three wise men, But they had forgotten about people, about love,
about Christmas. And then it happened.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
Even had gone for the mail that morning, and when
he returned from the half smile height to the bar.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
And how I.
Speaker 6 (03:04):
Ask you, Walter, how was I to know that it
was your notes?
Speaker 3 (03:07):
An old strap of paper, scrap of paper.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Six months work? Can you use it to light your cigar?
Why do you have to smoke the smelly things in
the tower room?
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Anyway, at this pleasure, you are not denying me. Walt
eat them that I burn the notes? I am sorry.
I will help you gather the data again.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
You will and what makes you feel that you are
qualified to help me as summer material on the atmospheric.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
Changes of Venus.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
So stop, you're light two children? Why must there be
this constant vickery? Oh even you're back?
Speaker 3 (03:39):
Any mail?
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Yes, the Journal of Astronomy for you, Walter, and the
Christmas Circular for you atter Christmas Circular?
Speaker 3 (03:48):
Pair? Do the days go to the end of another year?
You're coming. I've been waiting for the Journal.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
This is the issue in which God had promised to
make a fool of himself.
Speaker 6 (03:57):
The air must be chili this morning, even reflushed in
the face. You haven before the week is out out
to Walter.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
There was one other thing in the mail this morning.
Another thing what not? A letter from the trustees.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
I hope the letter was for me, but it affects
us all, so I thought I should read it to you.
It's from a woman named Farren. She lived next to
my sister in Orange, New Jersey. She writes that my
(04:33):
sister has died.
Speaker 7 (04:34):
No, I'm so sorry, Evans. I did not know you
had a sister. I thought you were alone like me.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
She was a younger sister. I haven't seen her for years,
twenty years or more.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
It must be.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
It's hard to grasp a death when it happens far
from us.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
She was married, the sister. She was a widow. Her
husband died several years ago.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
The work of yours that I can do today. Even wait,
there's there's more more. She left a child, a child,
a daughter named Eve. How old is the girl even ten?
I've never seen her. We didn't correspond, my sister and I.
(05:20):
I suppose I should have kept in touch, but it's
easy to forget up here.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
I hope the child is well provided for. She isn't.
Speaker 8 (05:29):
The girl has nothing, no one even a little money
I have saved if it will help.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
And count on me too.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
Very generous of you both. But it isn't money that's
the worry. The child has no home home. Surely even
you didn't think.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
I know how you feel.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
But it was my sister's last request, according to this
feral woman that eb Be sent to me, bring a
child here to the observatory.
Speaker 8 (06:01):
I know how it sounds, a ten year old girl here.
Even this, you cannot seriously consider.
Speaker 3 (06:08):
Why it's preposterous.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
The notion of keeping this girl in the observatory is unthinkable.
I agree with you, Walsh. We can't keep her here permanently,
but until I can make other arrangement. Children have no
respect for routine life. Here will be in thorough and
Walter for a little while, until Even makes this arrangement.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
All so, you're both.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Against me, not against Walter. It won't be an ideal situation,
I admit it. But until I can properly place the
child's very well, as long as we understand that this
is a temporary arrangement, well.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
It may take me a little time to find a
school that will accept her. Why should that be if
we are prepared to pay the price.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
One thing I forgot to mention, Eve is blind.
Speaker 9 (07:15):
Where are we now, uncle, even.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
By the mail box on the road, or we're still
a half mile from the observatory.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
Are you sure you feel like walking it?
Speaker 9 (07:25):
I'll be fine if we go slow and you hold
my hand.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
All right? The trails rather steep.
Speaker 9 (07:31):
There are tall pine trees here, aunt their Uncle Evan.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
Yes, their fines They surround the observatory.
Speaker 9 (07:38):
I can hear the wind walking through them. Is the
observatory tower very high, Uncle Evan? I?
Speaker 3 (07:44):
Why yes, I suppose it is.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
This is a very high mountain, and the tower is
almost one hundred feet above the.
Speaker 9 (07:52):
Summit, so close to the stars.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Am I going too fast for you?
Speaker 10 (07:57):
Hello?
Speaker 9 (07:57):
No, I'm all right, Mommy, sit tell me about you,
Uncle Evan. Now I used to think of you high
high in the sky, your head covered with stars.
Speaker 3 (08:07):
Well that's not quite the way of it. Uh.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Uh, Evie, you know there are two other men. That's
that's the observatory with me, the.
Speaker 9 (08:15):
Three wise men.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
You know we uh, we.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Haven't had much experience with uh, very younger people. So
if you'll try to remember that, I'm sure we'll all
get along very well together.
Speaker 9 (08:28):
I remember, Uncle Evan, you haven't seen the wise man
star this year yet?
Speaker 3 (08:35):
Mmm?
Speaker 1 (08:36):
No, no, nothing, devil then, uh, don't sleep. It's quite
a drop off the trail here.
Speaker 10 (08:41):
I'm all right.
Speaker 9 (08:42):
As long as I have your hand, Uncle Evan. Up here,
I feel so much closer to the stars, so much closer.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
Such a strange one. She is not an ordinary little.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Girl at all, Walter, What do you know about ordinary
little girl?
Speaker 6 (09:11):
She says so little, and yet there is a feeling
when she's in a room as if she were talking,
saying things that cannot be put in words. And I
do not make good sense that can't be blamed on
the child. I wonder if Even is doing anything.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
About a school for her. He has, I think, written
some letters. Otto.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
I don't mean to let him forget that this is
a temporary arrangement.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
I don't think he win. Walter has said, has she
asked you about the star? The star? What star?
Speaker 1 (09:46):
There are millions of stars, and why should she ask
me about one of them?
Speaker 3 (09:50):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (09:50):
Several times she mentions it to me since she comes,
as if I should know.
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Of it, or some childless game. Where is she now?
With Even? I think I've seen her, seen suffer. She
knows her place.
Speaker 1 (10:02):
I'll give her that doesn't intrude all the same, this
won't be a fit place to work until she goes.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
Which of you had my slide rule?
Speaker 1 (10:13):
I use my own instruments, no one else.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
Maybe I use it deeven, but I put it back
in the case. I'm sure anyway it is a vehicle. More.
Where zbe? Phoebe with you?
Speaker 1 (10:25):
We thought she was, and I thought she came in
hereafter supper plenty.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
I suppose she is her room the tower, chacking her room. Otto,
I look up in the.
Speaker 9 (10:37):
Tower, Starve unders start light Star with Brian Beauty by.
Speaker 10 (11:00):
Uncle Evan.
Speaker 9 (11:01):
I didn't hear yoube.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
What are you doing up here that secular staircase? You
might have fallen?
Speaker 9 (11:07):
Oh, I wasn't afraid, not a bit. You're all busy
in Oh. I wanted to be close to the stars.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
Star. What star?
Speaker 1 (11:17):
You shouldn't be up here alone with all this equipment.
These telescopes are set. You might have bumped into one
of them and spoiled everything.
Speaker 9 (11:26):
Uncle Evan. It's only a week now till Christmas. The
stars should be in the sky Christmas.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
What stars should be in the sky?
Speaker 9 (11:37):
The star that the wise men followed the wise Man?
When Mom used to tell me the Christmas story, I
think how lucky you were to be able to see
the stars?
Speaker 3 (11:47):
So plain Christmas story. You don't still believing that? Do
you believe it?
Speaker 9 (11:55):
Of course? Mom said they couldn't say the star at
home because there was it's only so much smoke. But
up here, well, I can feel that I'm close to it.
If I could see, oh I did, I could show
you just where to find it.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
Oh, that's a story for babies.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
You've grown up, ev You'll find no such star in
the sky and you must promise me not to come
up here ever again. I've lived all my life with
the stars, my dear. Don't you think i'd know if
there were such a star.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
I don't want to hear any more about it.
Speaker 9 (12:30):
If if you'd only look, I'll.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
Help you down to bed.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
If you're going to stay here with us, you'll have
to learn to live our me take our word for
the things we know.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Now you understand, yes, Uncle Eban, I'm sorry that I
spoke to you so so roughly, But it's for your own.
Speaker 9 (12:51):
Good, for my own good to forget about the star
in the eastern me.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Of course, there's no time for such stories here, all right, uncle.
And the soon as you forget them, the happier you
will be, the happier we'll all be.
Speaker 9 (13:25):
Then, Herod, when he had privily called the wise man,
inquired of them diligently what time the star appeared? And
he sent them to bestly him, and said, go and
search diligently for the young child, And when you have
found him, bring me word again that I may come
and worship him. Also.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
Oh, it's getting laid ebe. Don't you think you'd better go?
Speaker 10 (13:49):
Please?
Speaker 9 (13:50):
Uncle Evan, there's just a little more about the star.
Speaker 3 (13:53):
Let's her finish, even she reads it good.
Speaker 9 (13:57):
When they had heard the king, they departed, and lo,
the star which they saw in the east went before them,
because I came and stood over where the young child was.
And when they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding
great joy.
Speaker 3 (14:13):
You were hardly touching the braill Evie.
Speaker 9 (14:16):
I've read that part so many times. I know it
by heart.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
I don't put now.
Speaker 9 (14:20):
Oh, I'd give anything if I could see that star
that the wise Man's low.
Speaker 3 (14:25):
Evie.
Speaker 9 (14:26):
Oh, I'm sorry, Uncle Eban. I know you don't like
to talk about it, but there must have been like
you three who was like us, the three wise men.
They probably lived in a place like this and watched
the stars same as you. Just think how excited they
must have been to see that new star in the sky.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
It's almost ten o'clock, Evie. No scientific record of their discovery. Yeah, uh,
shake my hand, and baby.
Speaker 9 (14:53):
Oh, I do wonderfully well by myself now, Uncle Eban,
I can go almost any place in the observatory and
never stumbled one.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
Good night, little one.
Speaker 9 (15:02):
Good night, Uncle Uncle Walter. Tonight I'm going to dream
about Christmas.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
Put out the lights down here. When you're through, I'm
going up the car.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
It's good to turn your eyes to the stars. They
don't change all in their places, just as they've been
for millions of years. Star in the Eastern Childless story,
there's no such star there, and never was. Child used
(15:47):
to be so upset. It's the girl. You must go
as soon as the holiday is over. I must find
another place for it.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
And as soon as the holidays. What was that in
the tower of something for you? It must be up there.
I thought you told that child I did. She's disobeyed.
Stand there, let's see what she smashed. What have you done?
Speaker 10 (16:20):
Oh?
Speaker 9 (16:20):
I'm sorry, Uncle Evin. I didn't know how it happened. Oh, sir,
must have moved it. He was never there before.
Speaker 6 (16:28):
A big classed encompass now Switzerland.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
I ruined a valuable instrument, and now look at it. Chunk,
nothing but chunk.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Afore you promised me that you'd never come up those
stairs again.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
What did she mean? The compass had never been there before.
How many times do you come to this towero media?
Speaker 9 (16:48):
Oh I've been coming up here every night as you
all go.
Speaker 3 (16:52):
To bed every night. What in the world would you
want to come up here for the star.
Speaker 9 (16:57):
I can almost believe that. I see that here. Well,
I just felt sort of well, sort of lonely since
I came to live here, and the star was the
thing I could hold on to.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
I told you once before, Evie, there was no such star. Oh,
but Uncle Kevin in the book itself, I can see, Evie.
I've looked through the telescope night after night all my life,
and there is no such star.
Speaker 10 (17:23):
Oh. I can't believe it. I can't.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
I leave it to Walter to Otto. Is there a
star in the east?
Speaker 3 (17:30):
Done? U?
Speaker 1 (17:30):
Star that comes only at special times of the year.
Of course not even this is ridicious, Hotto.
Speaker 8 (17:37):
No, No, there is no such star, little one.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
Now do you believe me?
Speaker 10 (17:42):
Oh?
Speaker 9 (17:42):
I care the stars all God.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
Go to your room.
Speaker 9 (17:48):
You can't believes the star that is there, and you
can't see your good.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
Should one of us follow her? Even?
Speaker 8 (17:59):
No?
Speaker 3 (17:59):
No, let her alone. Weather's closing in will be snow
before morning. Visibility is limited, Yes, visibility is very limited.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
Why can't I sleep? I can't I sleep. I've got
to make sure she's all right? Is that you even utto?
Speaker 3 (18:43):
Yes? I couldn't sleep. I thought I'd look in on
Ebe just to make sure she's all right. It's snowing
very hard. Utto the door to her oom is standing open.
She's gone. Even look at the bed. It hasn't been
slept in at all. It can't be gone.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
There's no place for her to go. She's run away
outside in this storm. Oh no, even what have we
done to We've got to find her. Otto, We've got
to find her.
Speaker 10 (19:25):
Abe Abe, answer me, iv Abe, where are you?
Speaker 3 (19:31):
Ivor? She's alling into one of the canyons.
Speaker 5 (19:35):
Oh God, let me find her, Let me find.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
Her, abe Abe something. But that's he being against iv Abe.
It's her av.
Speaker 5 (19:59):
Oh, you're all right now, we be all right. I'll
tell We'll tell you I found her.
Speaker 9 (20:10):
I'd found.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
Productor. He's she all right. I wish I could tell
her that she was.
Speaker 11 (20:30):
She's fighting pneumonia exposure shock, but she she will be
all right.
Speaker 3 (20:35):
She's a very sick youngster. I wish I could take
her to the hospital, but I'm afraid the movie. I
will take care of her. Just tell us what we
must do.
Speaker 11 (20:43):
And I've given her a shot of Panslain. I'll need
some medicine here, and I want you to force liquids. Anna,
I'll be back in the morning.
Speaker 3 (20:49):
Surely there there isn't any course for alarm.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
Is there?
Speaker 3 (20:53):
Just follow my instructions. I'll see you in the morning.
Speaker 10 (20:56):
Ah, belief.
Speaker 3 (21:13):
Would ev. It's all right, It's all right, my dear.
Speaker 9 (21:19):
Can't LOUSI can't Lousi a chis.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
She's not rallying anything. She slipped since yesterday.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
We followed durr instructions doctor as she took the medicine.
We forced the liquids, and one of us was bit
her all the time.
Speaker 11 (21:45):
Usually kids her as kick right back react in less
than twenty four hours.
Speaker 3 (21:50):
Oh, but she's not fighting it at all. Anything that
we can do to help her, just tell us stop her.
We haven't quit yet, so that's not going to be a.
Speaker 11 (21:59):
Very merri Christmas for the product. Again, this is Christmas, Eve,
isn't it over here in the morning. If she should
get worse, you'll just have to try to get through
to me.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
If she gets worse, she doesn't want to get well.
She's not fighting at all, and it's our fault. The
(22:31):
only thing she found here to love we tried to
take from her.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
She believed in the star. She really believed. Do you
know until she came I had forgotten that story.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
We had nothing to believe in, so her faith aster.
Speaker 9 (22:49):
Did you see the star?
Speaker 3 (22:51):
Even?
Speaker 7 (22:52):
Do you think if we if we took her up
there to the tower room, the doctor said it was
dangerous to move for what if.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
She could believe? Again? What get that extra blanket? Don't
help me. We're going up to the telescope.
Speaker 9 (23:22):
I don't believe or where we're going.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
We're in the tower room, but the big telescope. Ev
it's it's Christmas. Eve. We thought you might like to
be near the star.
Speaker 9 (23:37):
You don't believe it's Sarah. You don't believe in, Sir?
Speaker 3 (23:41):
Tell us where to look? Evie, we want to believe.
Help us swear? Will it be Evie?
Speaker 10 (23:47):
You want to believe?
Speaker 3 (23:48):
Yes, yes, Ceve, we do help us. Ev tell us
where to look.
Speaker 9 (23:54):
It was in the east and it was very bright.
If if you believe it, I believe you must be
able to see it tonight. Of all, let me see
you're looking in the telescope.
Speaker 3 (24:08):
Yes, have I don't see anything yet, ev.

Keep looking, uncle, even, keep looking.

great shiny star.

And still it is a beautiful starry, a magnificent star,

three of us need you.

EV, you need me, Yes, yes, we do EV. She's
going to get well, aren't you.
Speaker 6 (24:54):
EV.
Speaker 9 (24:55):
Yes, yes, I'm going to get well. Uncle Eden, Oh
I'm so sleepy.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
How forehead is cooled? I see the worst is over.
Speaker 9 (25:08):
Merry Christmas, Uncle Eden, Uncle Walter, and Uncle Ada.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
Merry Christmas. Eve, Yes, Merry Christmas. Even, Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas,
little one best you should take her back to bed, even, yes,
I will.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
And when they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding
great joy, with exceeding great joy.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
This is Pat O'Brien again.
Speaker 4 (25:56):
During the season of the year, there's a lot of
praying going on, and that's a very good thing. And
since some of these prayers are set to music to
form carols during the Christmas season, it gives us an
opportunity for a musical illustration of what we mean when
we speak of the beauty of family prayer. With mister
Zimmerman's help, we'll use the family of stringed instruments in
our illustration.
Speaker 3 (26:17):
We'll start with the father and then the mother.
Speaker 4 (26:38):
Then let's say there's one son.
Speaker 3 (26:50):
And one daughter. Pretty good thing, isn't she.
Speaker 4 (27:03):
Now each of the members of this musical family is
capable of carrying the melody of this beautiful Christmas hymn
without any help from the others. But listen to them
play the same melody, not as individual instruments, but as
a family of instruments. You see, You see how the
(27:27):
harmony adds beauty, how the melody gains new importance.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
Family prayer is much the same. A prayer is music
to God.
Speaker 4 (27:37):
And since we were created by Him, and since it
is through Him that all good comes to us, then
shouldn't we strive to make our prayers as worthy as possible,
as beautiful as possible. There's really no doubt that the
members of the family praying as individuals do make music
in heaven. But when they pray together, well, then they
(27:59):
make it consonant. Oh there's one another argument in favor
of family prayer. It's a promise that family theater uses
(28:21):
for a slogan the family that prays together stays together.
Speaker 9 (28:28):
More things are run by prayer than this world dreams of.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
From Hollywood, Family Theater has brought you a star of wonder.
