The Little Missionary (1917)
The darkness in the home of Caleb Howe and his wife was due, though they did not realize it, to the absence of a little ray of human sunshine. This old couple had grown crabbed in their loneliness, and almost hated each other. They called her "Sunshine" Billy at the orphanage, for, though she herself was an orphan, the little girl was the sunshine of the dreary, sad institution. She "muvvered" the other little orphans and each evening prayed that they would all get good homes soon. It was "Sunshine" Billy fate decreed should go to the home of Caleb Howe, when he applied at the orphanage for a girl to help his wife with the housework. Though the aged couple at first were cold towards the little girl, it was inevitable that they soon should recognize that the real happiness of life which they had missed was a child. Having found that happiness in "Sunshine" Billy, life took on a new aspect for them.
