The church is sorely in need of a new carpet and the members of the Aid Society are putting forth all efforts and energy to purchase one. They decide to give an entertainment and supper at Sister Brown's house, the proceeds to go towards buying the new carpet. The affair is a great success. The proceeds are entrusted to Mrs. Wilson, the treasurer. The next morning Mrs. Wilson receives a letter informing her that her daughter, who lives in Boston, is very ill and wants her mother to come to her. Mrs. Wilson asks her husband for the money to make the trip, but he refuses. She remembers the society's carpet money. The temptation is too great and she takes the money and goes to her daughter. The daughter under her mother's care grows better and when she leaves for home, she takes with her her daughter's little girl, Mary. They go to the meeting, taking little Mary with them, and when the others rise to sing the hymn, Mrs. Wilson is so overcome that she sits in her seat, staring ahead apparently neither hearing nor seeing. Little Mary has overheard their previous conversation, and realizing that her grandmother is in some trouble about money, unties her little handkerchief and gives her a penny which her grandfather had given her earlier in the day. He sees the generous action of the child and is touched by it. The treasurer of the Aid Society is asked to make her report, but before she can make her confession, her husband has opened his purse and counted out the amount. This he gives to little Mary, whose tiny hands press it into those of her grief-stricken grandmother. Mrs. Wilson hands in her funds and sinks into her seat, where her husband clasps her hand in mute forgiveness and love. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
