With a powerfull thenie, nrtist icnlly handled in the weaving of -the plot, jEqJair has Bcoi'ed heav ily in this story of love and faith. The action of the plot is unusally clear out and forceful and the development Of the situations being in such capable bands, the result has been frn 'artistic triumph and a tremendous sermon.

He is about to jump in to the river when he decides upon a better way to drop out of her life. Leaving his coat and hat on the bank, lie enlists in tho army.

To this mission comes Louise, who was on her way to , the drug store for abottle of medicine for the sick daughter, Clara. She stands unobserved until the gathering dispores then she approaches x and when the faith healer turns towards her, she recognizes in Helmar an old friend.
