He is too poor even to contribute to the fund which is raised by the grateful parishioners to buy a set of silver candlesticks for Father Bernardi, the venerable pastor. His child falls desperately ill and the village doctor informs Pierre that unless he can secure the services of a specialist from Montreal, whose fee is high, the little one will soon die. Driven to desperation, Pierre goes to the church in the dead of the night to steal the silver candlesticks and is seen by the priest in his act of sacrilege. But the good father knowing Pierre's dire need, doesn't disclose his knowledge. Pierre's conscience pricks him. however, and he returns the candlesticks to their place. Returning home he finds his child whom the local doctors have given up, to all appearances dead. Meanwhile the good priest is praying earnestly for the child and by a miracle the child is brought back to life. Pierre and his wife offer their thanks to God, as the child is seen gradually to regain her consciousness. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
