Nellie Perry, with her husband and little son of three months, lived in the city and had a hard struggle suppressing poverty. They were, however, fairly happy until Perry was killed. The mother seeks employment, but cannot find a position where the child can be admitted. Mrs. Grace Parker, her aunt, hears of Nellie’s sad condition and offers her a home ill the country. The aunt is a member of the village church, and one day the Rev. Dr. Belden calls, and hearing a sweet voice accompanied by the organ, inquires as to who is singing. Being introduced, he persuades Nellie to join the choir and is duly introduced and installed. Her wonderful voice, however, causes a jealousy among the other women, and especially when a delegation from a country town pays a visit and raves over the little widow’s singing. The gossips of the choir get busy and, without making due inquiry, begin to question Nellie’s past life. A Mrs. Harcourt is among the visitors and recognizes the sweet singer as one who called upon her some time ago for employment, and then carried a child. The choir is up in arms and the next time Nellie reports for rehearsal, she is told she is no longer wanted and is practically driven from the church. The same night Nellie enters the church after dark and prays for strength to withstand the ordeal. The minister enters and finds her kneeling. Taking her to his home he hears her story. This he reports to the congregation, which fills the choir with remorse and they ask forgiveness, which is readily given.
