Moving into the little house provided by the church, he settles down to do what he can for his new flock. The people of Millville are aristocratic and do not over-love a parson whose shabby clothing will permit of but little public intimacy. The parson later meets the Rector's daughter, Helen, a proud village belle, but she spurns him and flaunts her favoritism for Tom Black, a small town disciple of Bacchus, who has been called to account by the parson for his public dissipations. One evening Black elopes with Helen and of necessity calls upon the parson to marry them. The parson has ideas of his own regarding the match, however, and as a result remonstrates. A quarrel follows which quickly comes to blows much to the amusement of a passing village lad, and the drunkard is forced to give up his matrimonial intentions. Friendship forms as a result of the fight and Helen becomes interested in the parson who. upon appearing in his pulpit the following Sunday with a black eye and refusing to tell where or how he got it, is dismissed from his parish. As he is about to leave town with his mother and sister, the rector who has been informed of the fight by the town lad, forces a confession from his daughter and hurries to the depot in time to right matters and reinstate the parson into the good graces of the villagers and once again place him in the little church pulpit. The Parson ultimately wins the heart and hand of Helen and settles down to a happy life of peace and quiet in the midst of his little Millville flock.
