It seems that church gossip has always been around and it affects all churches, regardless of the race of the congregants.
The pastor of a local church (Lionel Barrymore) was entrusted with a sum of money by a dying woman (Kate Bruce) to spend on her daughter, Little Mary (Mary Pickford), after she was gone. Her stern husband (Charles Hill Mailes) worked her to death and denied his daughter any and all "fineries." It was Mary's dying wish that her little sum of money be used on Little Mary.
When the pastor bought Little Mary a gaudy $10 hat from New York, the church hens began clucking. They'd concluded that something impious was going on between the pastor and Little Mary for him to buy her such an expensive gift and they made sure to let EVERYONE know.
Is there any need for such people like these--gossipers who look for things that aren't there just to have something to talk about? They ruin names and reputations with reckless abandon and have little remorse about who they destroy in their aims to bring meaning to their meaningless lives.
