He is very popular with the younger set. A poor young woman of the town is deserted by her unprincipled husband who destroys all record of their marriage. Their child soon dies and the minister calls to console the mother. Her reputation is considered shady by the townspeople. She starts to leave town, but falls exhausted outside the minister's home. He takes her in and gives her a home with himself and his mother. The elders object to this and the minister resigns. He takes up mission work in the slums and the woman goes with him. One night her husband returns drunk and shabby. He tries to rob a saloon and is pursued by saloonkeeper and police. He takes refuge in the mission. The minister persuades the pursuers to leave the man with him. The husband and wife meet, but she will have nothing to do with him. He makes a scene and accuses the minister of being in love with his wife. He then goes out into the storm and is killed by lightning. The new minister at the church proves unsatisfactory. The elders send for their old minister. He returns to his church on condition that they sanction his marriage to the woman he has helped. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
