This story illustrates the fallacy of parents selecting, without regard to the natural inclination or ability of the child, a line of pursuit or means of livelihood, which accounts for the large number of dismal failures in life. In this instance John Wallace's father's religious fervor prompts him to urge his son to enter a monastery. John obligingly acquiesces and starts on the journey, but later changes his mind, seeks employment on a farm, and subsequently marries. Old man Wallace often meditates about his boy and watches the pilgrimages of the padres, hoping to get a glimpse of his son. John finally visits his father, bringing his wife and child. The father's disappointment is intense but the sight of his grandchild softens his heart and he yields to nobler sentiment. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
