Reading commands from text file and passing it into Script in Shell

I have a file.txt whose output is 

declare -a Pool=("Minland" "Tucson" "Vancouver")
declare -a Library=("lib1" "lib2" "lib3")
declare -a Name=("Guru" "Albert" "Jeff")
declare -a Email=("[email protected],[email protected]" "[email protected]" "[email protected]")
declare -a Subject=("   Finland Media Rotation" "       Tucson Media Rotation" "        Vancouver Media Rotation")

I want to use these outputs as the command to my other file. Below is my effort.

cat Hello.txt | xargs -d $'\n' sh -c sh Media.sh

It doesn't give any output.

then alternate I have tried is appending like below which work but I know it's not the correct way.

cat file.txt Media.sh > out.sh
chmod +x out.sh
sh out.sh

So, please help me with the best option.

You can source the content of your file.txt file into the script Media.sh with the next instruction as first instruction of your Media.sh file:

. file.txt
