The reading of novels, for instance, is to them a sin. What little pleasure Martha has is derived from playing and the old family organ and singing along, particularly "Abide With Me," her parents' favorite hymn. By accident she meets handsome, wealthy young Harvey Gilmore. The two fall in love, elope, and are married. But their efforts to obtain a reconciliation with Martha's parents are in vain. Time passes. A thief breaks into the Quaker home and steals the bank which for years has been used for their missionary savings. That same night the thief enters the Gilmore home and is detected and captured. The box falls from under his coat and Martha recognizes it. The next day the loss is discovered and the father leaves to notify the sheriff. Martha and Harvey arrive. The mother is finally persuaded to forgive them. The father returns, apparently as obdurate as ever. The bank is returned to him, but he still refuses to recognize them. Martha sits down at the old organ and begins to softly play "Abide With Me." Touched, the old man relents. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
