Elbert Lawrence, feeling his duty lies farther south among the savage tribes of Africa, departs with his daughter from the settlement near Luxor, Egypt, to a new scene of labor. Several weeks later the missionaries arrive at their new field. At the first religious service, the natives show considerable interest and the chief orders all his tribesmen to attend. The chief wins Faith's confidence and begs for private instructions. While Faith is doing her best to teach the dusky African, he, on his part, is falling desperately in love with the white girl and determines that she shall be his wife. The chief brings presents and asks the Rev. Lawrence for the hand of his daughter. When his gifts are refused and his suit declined, he orders his tribesmen to fall upon the missionary and they take the girl captive. They arrive at the village of the tribe on the desert and Faith, recognizing her danger, decides to take her own life, thus surrendering her soul to the keeping of her Maker.
