The Parson's Prayer

• Watchlist

Grace Darling, after bidding her father good-bye at the lighthouse, receives a note, which she supposes is from her sweetheart. It is, however, from a man she does not care for. When she goes to the place of meeting and Morgan tries to induce her to marry him, she is greatly disturbed. He sends one of his companions, a sailor, for a parson, who answers the call. After being appealed to by Grace, the clergyman refuses to perform the ceremony, much to Morgan's chagrin. The parson and Morgan then have a struggle, in which the former is the victor. He gives his long clerical coat, hat and prayer book to Grace, who leaves the place. The parson remains long enough to see Morgan resuscitate and give his blessing to the remorseful man.
